[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING THE CONVERSION PROCEDURE.]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 22464 EXPERIENCE POINTS AND 224.65 DNA POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]

"I did it... I finally did it."

There were no words to express what Erik felt. Volkov, the man who tortured his father to death, was now on the ground, without his head, and Zakir Nguyen, Dark Tendrils, he was dead as well.

Erik felt a strange mix of emotions washing over him. The taste of revenge was bittersweet. Killing Volkov had been his goal, his single-minded obsession, since his father died, that he had hardly allowed himself to think about what would come after.

Winning felt great, but something was missing. Now that he had gotten his revenge, he didn't know what to do next.

He felt like he had been chasing a ghost through a long tunnel, and now that he had caught it, he was standing alone in the light, feeling confused and disoriented.

Richard was safe, and both Zakir and Volkov were finally dealt with.

But Erik didn't know what was going to happen now that the dictator was dead. The only certain thing was that Volkov's death would cripple the blackguards' operations in Frant, at least to a certain extent.

The dust was still around him, but then it settled on the ground.

Erik's eyes darted to the holes in the prison walls. The blackguards inside finally reached the exit, but since the door got blasted, they could only come out from the wall breaches.

Erik did what he had to, but the blackguards' target was still there in front of them. They couldn't hide, they couldn't retreat.

However, their presence meant that Erik's odds at winning had just tipped overwhelmingly against him.

Even with his replenished energy, the number of opponents was too great for him to handle alone.

With Zakir and Volkov out of the picture, the largest problem had been removed. Richard escaped, and now it was Erik's turn to leave.

The blackguards still in the courtyard were stunned by the sight that met their eyes. Volkov was dead. Erik Romano was alive amidst a bloody carnage.

Erik seized his chance and began carving a path through the blackguards in front of him.

He channeled most of his mana into his Force Bastion brain crystal power's neural links, which boosted his speed and defence.

Each step he took sent a blackguard dead on the ground. There was nothing they could do to stop him. Of course, that was because the blackguards in front of him were few. Those behind, well, they were much more.

[LEVEL UP.]

Erik charged through their ranks and picked up Volkov's head along the way.

<This will be useful.>

Erik held Volkov's head between his arms, the man's eyes wide and unseeing, his mouth frozen in a silent scream.

The young man glanced at the lifeless head. The sight gave him cold satisfaction.

"You won't be missed," Erik said with a smile. Then he got out of the cluster of opponents surrounding him.

He sprinted towards the courtyard's outskirts. The blackguards came out of the prison rushing like ants, but they could do nothing to reach him. He was too far now.

He vaulted over a crumbling low wall, then turned to look at the remaining men and women chasing him, while some attacked him from a distance.

"Next time, hire better guards!" Erik said.

Reaching the edge of the prison complex, Erik jumped over the wall and landed on the other side.

There was a narrow alleyway in front of him. It was dark, so Erik took his chance and went through it.

<I need to find Richard now.>

The man had escaped, but the chances of him being chased by a blackguard or intercepted by patrols were a genuine concern for Erik.

Erik channeled mana through his Instability brain crystal power's neural links, reading the minds of those around him to see if someone saw him.

Snippets of fear and confusion flooded his mind. It was obvious considering the huge fight that took place so close to these citizens' homes.

<I told him to go to the Red Palace. If he did what I said, then there is only one route that would have made him reach the institution fast enough for him to escape the blackguards.> Erik decided to follow the same route Richard would have taken. With his superior speed, it wouldn't take long for him to catch up.

The problem was that the blackguards were chasing him, and since they couldn't match his pace on foot, Erik knew they would soon resort to vehicles.

Erik went through the alley and later emerged onto a broader street, scanning the area before darting into another side street.

<I've got to hurry,> he thought, his legs pumping harder as he picked up speed.

After having turned a corner, Erik spotted a figure running, but not nearly as fast as him. It was Richard. Relief washed over Erik as he closed the distance between them.

"Richard!"

Richard turned, his face lighting up. "Erik! You made it!"

"Of course."

"What happened? Where is Volkov?" But then the man looked at the head in Erik's hands.

"You killed him?"

"I did..."

"But why did you bring his head?" Not knowing how his powers worked, Richard got the

wrong idea.

"Do you want to prove you killed him?"

"Yes..."

The two remained silent for a few seconds.

Then Richard nodded. "Let's go."

...

The two of them moved. The sound of engines grew louder behind them.

"They took the cars?"

"You are underestimating how much the blackguards want to put their hands on me."

Erik knew the city well. He guided Richard through a maze of alleys and backstreets, but the older man was having trouble keeping up with him.

Erik glanced at Richard and noticed the sweat glistening on his face. His eyes looked strained.

"Are you ok?"

"Ah... yes... It's just that I spent a lot of mana and fought a lot. I have little energy left."

"As soon as we get to safety, you will have your chance to rest."

Then Richard turned to look at Erik. "How are Emily and Lucy?"

The man's thoughts turned to his family. Now that he was so close to go back to them, he

couldn't stop it.

"They are safe," Erik said. "Lucy is still at Liberty Watch; Emily is here in New Alexandria."

Richard's eyes widened in surprise when he heard where Emily was. "Did you just say Emily is

in New Alexandria?"

He wasn't thrilled by the idea of Emily being at the heart of the conflict.

"She basically forced me!"
