Paul broke in a cold sweat as he recalled the data he gathered before the siege. He was sure that the Sloan Family didn’t have a member like Candea before…
So she should be a new recruit that was especially recruited to fight indoors?
While Paul and the twenty people were trembling from fear, Elliana and the others already surrounded the marble box and finished whoever was still trapped inside.
Blood and body parts scattered on the grey floor without marble tiles, looking especially terrifying for Paul and the others.
They hurriedly looked away and did their best to attack the flag instead.
However…Nouvan was there near Ainsley, and the healer had four abilities, including his healing ability.
Ice, fire, healing, and…barrier.
Yes. A barrier protected the flag.
When Paul’s long-range attack ability users tried to rip the flag using their elemental abilities, their abilities hit the barrier and either vanished or got repelled!
Paul and his twenty people felt their blood turning cold.
Damn it! Is this a trap?! A barrier protects the flag! A strong one too!
Nouvan had four abilities, so his barrier ability was naturally not as weak as the non-multiple ability users.
His barrier even had a mix of fire and ice, creating both offence and defense.
Nouvan’s fire and ice manipulation ability weren’t that powerful, it was just a normal fire and ice, but Nouvan could create the elements using his energy.
He didn’t need to find fire or ice to be manipulated to his heart content.
Furthermore, the ice manipulation ability let him freeze some weaker abilities, especially those abilities from dual or solo ability users.
Seeing the fire and ice element dancing around the flag, Paul and the twenty people knew that they had fallen into a trap.
Damn it. That Candea girl must have known their location from the moment they stepped onto the marble floor, but she pretended not to know.
She must have informed Ainsley somehow, but Ainsley also feigned ignorance.
Yet the Sloan members inside the hall were already aware of the Naran members’ existence…
It was why they could move so fast to finish those trapped inside the sturdy marble box.
That marble box was really tricky. Only strong elemental ability users or those with highly destructive attacks could break the marble wall like Paul did.
But the marble tiles arranged to be marble walls forming the box weren’t that simple. The tiles were actually special marble tiled with an effect to absorb 50% of damage caused by ability users.
It means that those inside the box were weakened considerably.
It would be hard to destroy the thick marble wall if they didn’t have highly destructive power like Paul’s.
Even Paul wasted almost all his energy to create a hole in the marble walls. He couldn’t completely destroy the marble wall even when his destructive ability was quite good!
Paul and the others instantly regretted not sending more special hackers to steal the mansion blueprint.
If they knew that the Connecting Hall had this kind of marble floor…and if they knew there was someone like Candea who could control the whole Connecting Hall’s floor…
They wouldn’t have fallen into this trap, damn it!
When Paul and the others first saw Candea controlling the marble floor to block them, they didn’t think much of her because she looked young.
They thought that she could only control some marble tiles but not the entire tiles in the hall, okay?
How could they know that Candea actually had another ability called ‘amplify’, which could strengthen her marble-manipulation ability?
Candea was the only dual ability user who got accepted into Ainsley’s elite troops because of her second ability– Amplifier.
The ability could even help other ability users near her, but only one person.
Of course, she used her amplifier ability for herself to control all the tiles in the hall and also helped Marietta so that the woman could mass-produce more unique plants.
Without Candea’s amplifier ability, it was hard for Marietta to cover the whole hall with strong vines like that, even sending some vines dangling on the ceiling.
Paul and his people were finally desperate. They kept attacking the flag’s barrier, but they couldn’t destroy it when fire and ice suddenly shot whoever attacked the barrier.
From the attack’s projectiles, one could guess the attacker’s position, and that’s how Nouvan used his fire and ice ability to attack those who attacked his barrier.
Even when Paul’s people tried to attack Nouvan first, Elliana and Kyuseli were there with Nouvan.
Yes, Kyuseli, the head accountant, was also a barrier ability user, and he’s in charge of protecting Nouvan! Elliana, on the other hand, was busy attacking those who attacked Nouvan.
Even when the assailants were invisible, just from looking at the elemental abilities they used to attack Nouvan, it was easy to determine their rough location.
At the same time, Ainsley had finally found the person who had the group-stealth ability.
After making sure that the person was the one who always stayed by Paul’s side but wasn’t wearing a formal military uniform, Ainsley pressed her Airpods on her ears before whispering.
“Axel, I found the target. The coordinate is…yes, that. He’s constantly moving, so I will guide you. Just lock the target first before you use your corrosive ability.”
Ainsley looked back at the chaotic battlefield behind her and crouched on her throne.
“Can you use your corrosive ability within a distance? You can? Okay, okay, stay there, don’t move. We don’t want to alarm the target.”
Ainsley locked gazes with Axelle before nodding her head and waving her hand.
Start now!
Axelle immediately flicked his finger, and black liquid stealthily flew to their target.
We go for the kill!
