Chapter 1020 Hermes Versus Callon
-----
"Psychic Barrier!"
The twins desperately unleashed their psychic powers, generating an enormous invisible barrier made of psychic energy, trying to protect everyone from the enormous red beam coming out of Callon's palm.
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
The invisible barrier was able to block the powerful beam, but the beam continued being unleashed, slowly beginning to crack the barrier. Hermes quickly acted, using his wind magic which still worked to enhance the barrier.
"Wind Barrier, Storm!"
FLUOOOSSH!
A powerful invisible barrier of spiraling winds emerged, and after that, an enormous storm of slicing green winds surged, impacting Callon's red Photon Beam and pushing it away, unleashing winds that spread through, many of the soldiers with disabled equipment flew away and were sliced apart, Hermes' wind magic was incredibly strong.
BOOOOOMMM!!!
"Hmph…" Callon narrowed his eyes as he suddenly summoned a powerful barrier out of thin air, protecting his entire body from Hermes' magic. "You're a protector of my sister or something? I do remember you… I might as well take you down first then!"
FLAAASH!
Callon's entire body exploded with red energy as he began to overflow with new power, his lips curled in a sickly smile, as he clashed against Hermes' knives imbued with wind magic!
CLAAAASH!
His bare hands were more than enough to clash and impact Hermes' powerful knives, as Alma's big brother smiled maliciously, his eyes shining bright red.
"What with this monstrous strength?! I am already someone at Rank 6!" Said Hermes. "How come you're just as strong?!"
"My body has been reborn! I am no longer a mere mortal guided by the Ranks of a Mana Core, the technology of Master Greenwood goes beyond this! This is the future of this world, fool!" Callon laughed, kicking and punching Hermes and pushing him back.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Future my ass! This is no future!" Hermes roared, clashing against Callon as his knives imbued with wind unleashed several slicing gusts, which Callon tanked using his energy shields.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!
"Your magic is no use!" Laughed Callon.
"Magic will always be superior to some half-baked sci fi shit!" Roared Hermes. "Windstorm!!!"
Hermes roared with his lungs out, conjuring an enormous magic circle of green color and conjuring enormous winds which concentrated into a spiraling arc of winds, reaching Callon!
FLUOOOOSSSH!
Alma's big sister tried to defend himself using his shields, but the force of the Windstorm was so strong that it easily pushed him away, making him hit the ceiling and then failing from above, hitting the ground and impacting it severely.
BOOOOM!
"Uuggh…! GAAAAHH!"
However, Callon was relentless and filled with tenacity, roaring like a crazed madman, and standing up again, his body suddenly began to change, as nanomachines infesting his body began to reinforce it. His arms grew several times their original size, becoming muscular and powerful, and even his torso became strong and wide.
"I am not done with this!"
Callon propelled himself using the red energy surging from his body, as his enormous fists suddenly shaped themselves as sharp metallic claws, attempting to slice through Hermes! He was going insane, and totally wasn't thinking about keeping him alive anyways, even though Greenwood told him to!
CLASH!
CLASH!
CLASH!
Hermes began to jump away, evading the powerful metallic claws using his winds, while he inspected the area behind him as he gritted his teeth. Alma was using her magic anyways despite feeling incredibly tired, healing her own stamina and at the same time firing Mana Arrows. The twin sisters were using their powers and magic to both attack and defend, while the children felt confused at first they grew desperate and used their unique skills to fight, the soldiers were being pushed away despite being vicious vampires!
However, Callon was the biggest issue, if he got any closer to Alma and the rest, he would crazily take them down and tear them into shreds, Greenwood had no control over him apparently, or perhaps he was simply letting him go berserk, whatever was the cause, he couldn't be dealt with normally.
"Why are you running from me, you damn coward?!" Callon roared back at Hermes, as he suddenly unleashed countless fireballs as he conjured his elemental magic! "Fireball Storm!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"Shit, this guy can use fire?!" Hermes muttered, quickly unleashing a gust of winds to turn off the fire. "Strong Gust!"
FLUOOOSSSHHH!
The wind took away the flames, but the enormous claws of Callon surged from amidst the smoke generated by the fire being dissipated, as Hermes' eyes opened wide in shock. He quickly tried to evade, but Callon predicted that and threw fire right where he was going to escape to, making Hermes flinch, as Callon's sharp metallic claws suddenly reached his stomach.
SLAAASH!
The cold and sharp blades pierced through Hermes' stomach, as he felt his internal organs being ruptured by the powerful metal that not even his strong slicing winds could destroy!
"Uuaaagggh…!"
The scream of Hermes echoed across the room as Alma looked at the scene, her eyes beginning to cry tears of horror.
"HERMEEEESSSSSS…!"
Callon didn't lost any second as he kicked Hermes away, looking at his own metallic claws covered in the blood of the elf that they pierced through, there were even pieces of guts in there, as he had torn apart his insides horrendously.
BAAAAM!
"Unnggh…! Akkkhhh…!"
Hermes clashed over the floor, as he vomited a mouthful of blood. He should already be dead, yet somehow remained alive, mostly thanks to being Rank 6, as his Physique had grown exceptionally strong as a result… nonetheless, with such wounds, he would surely die.
"H-HERMES!"
Alma ran towards Hermes desperately, hugging him and gritting her teeth, using her Magic to heal him. The only magic she could conjure that could heal within the No Attribute Spells was the automatic regeneration, which enhanced the speed of automatic regeneration in a wound, with her mana, most wounds could be healed, however, although she stopped the bleeding, the wound of Hermes didn't stopped bleeding all over.
"Hermes…! Hang in there, Hermes!" Alma cried, as tears continued to pour from her eyes.
"A-Alma…" Hermes muttered; the light of his eyes slowly began to fade away. "Run… You have to live…"
"Hermes, don't die! Please… don't die!"
