All Nia Quinn could see was a towering inferno.
The flames surged like a tidal wave, devouring the six Thunder Element Superpower attacks before rushing directly toward the crowd opposite them!
"Defense! Gold and Earth Defense!"
Eleanor Driscoll no longer had the luxury of directing from the air. She immediately conjured a Wind Wall, trying to block the fiery assault.
She had never seen such a powerful Fire Element Superpower.
It felt as if it would incinerate everything in its path; even her proudest Wind Wall was on the verge of collapse.
Just then, a Thunder Element Superpower attack struck from behind them!
A strange man appeared, walking up from behind them with a Thunder Ball in his hand.
His eyes were cold, and an almost solid layer of air seemed to cling to his body, with the Thunder Element Superpower crackling just beyond it.
A cat was perched on his shoulder, creating a bizarre sight.
Eleanor Driscoll immediately realized what was happening.
’This man is here to help the Dual Element Superpower User!’
"Everyone, report to the west exit for backup, immediately—"
Before Eleanor Driscoll could finish, a blast of Fire Element Superpower shattered the walkie-talkie in her hand.
"I don’t like it when things drag on. Let’s end this quickly!"
Nina Jacobs said.
There were only about thirty people here. She and Wayne Warner could deal with them in a few minutes. It would be much more trouble if Eleanor Driscoll managed to call for more backup.
Upon hearing Nina Jacobs’ words, Wayne Warner was already charging toward a few of the Superpower Users!
"You’re asking to die!"
A Gold Element Superpower User shot out several long Gold Spikes, attempting to turn Wayne Warner into a pincushion.
However, the Gold Spikes were deflected before they could even touch Wayne Warner.
Only then did the man realize his attack was completely useless!
"He’s also a Dual Element! He has the Strength Element!"
someone shouted.
By then, a devastatingly powerful fist, wreathed in Thunder Element energy, was already hurtling toward them!
The ground turned to sand, and in the chaos, Diamond Sand Spikes reaped several bloody figures.
The battle instantly intensified.
A moment later, Eleanor Driscoll stared down at the Diamond Sand Spike embedded in her abdomen.
"What... in the world... are you..."
Looking at Eleanor Driscoll and all the others lying in pools of blood, Nia Quinn still seemed to find it hard to believe.
In less than ten minutes, she had cleared away everyone who stood in her way.
"Let’s go."
Nina Jacobs set the bodies on fire and then spoke.
She had Nia Quinn get in the car with Wayne Warner first, while she herself returned to the previous spot. From her storage space, she took out a white vehicle bearing traces of battle and bloodstains.
This was a Veridian vehicle she had acquired back in Mirewood, and some of the items inside belonged to Gordon and his people.
She wasn’t sure if this would be enough to throw them off her trail, but it could at least temporarily confuse them and disrupt their line of thinking.
Nia Quinn sat quietly in the car. Only after Nina Jacobs got in and sat beside her did Wayne Warner start the engine.
"You had a reason for getting me out of there, didn’t you?"
Nia Quinn finally voiced the question on her mind.
Nina Jacobs didn’t deny it. She did have a purpose, but she first asked a question of her own:
"I’m just curious why they wanted to capture you, but weren’t willing to kill you."
Hearing this, Nia Quinn gave a helpless smile.
"Because as long as they have me, I can build all sorts of lethal weapons for them.
They call me their ’walking armory.’ I’m their most useful tool, you see."
"Are you with The Aegis Conclave?"
Nina Jacobs asked again.
A few badges had fallen from the bodies she’d just burned. She was all too familiar with them; they were the badges of The Aegis Conclave.
