Chapter 252: Transformation (1)

...he had just destroyed the ice prison when suddenly, Adam appeared in front of him. And not only him, at this point, Julie who had been hiding suddenly appeared behind him with her dagger raised in the air, ready to attack.

Of course, Hanson had been putting much focus on reaching Henry. For that reason, he had ended up ignoring Julie because she had not made her appearance although it was true that Hanson had already realized that she was present.

For that reason, the moment that she appeared behind him, Hanson was caught completely off-guard. But still, he was not a weakling. So, he was still able to react fast enough to dodge the attack that was about to land on the back of his neck.

At the same time as he evaded the attack, he used his left hand to attack Julie. The speed at which he was moving was fast, making sure that Julie did not have a chance of retreating.

It was a good thing that after Julie had reached the silver rank, Henry had given her several defensive skills. And, some of them were the ones that she had just learned during the time that she was hiding in the dark.

Since she had reached the golden rank, she currently was capable of learning 15 skills. And amongst those 15 skills, she currently possessed three defensive skills.

So at this point, a transparent barrier appeared in front of her to block the attack that was about to land on her body. At the same time, she did not stay in the same place, but instead, she began retreating.

She was an assassin. For that reason, she was not good in the direct confrontations. She specialized in sneak attacks, so, she wanted to retreat and wait for another chance to attack.

Bang!

Just as Hanson was focusing on dealing with Julie because she was the one that was holding much threat to him as of now, he suddenly turned around and raised one of his hand, the one that he was not using to attack Julie, barely blocking the attack that was launched by Adam.

Currently, Adam was definitely at a level that was way beyond a level nine silver rank awakener. For that reason, the strength of his attacks were not weak.

Bang! Crack!

At the same time as he blocked the attack, Hanson’s hand finally landed on the barrier that had been erected by Julie. The barrier was not capable of blocking the attack that was launched by Hanson, and for that reason, it was broken.

But still, Julie was able to retreat in time, barely escaping the attack. If that attack landed on her, although she was not going to die immediately, but, she was going to be disabled for the rest of the fight.

Hanson retreated two steps backwards due to the strength that was possessed in the attack that was launched by Adam. But of course, Adam was not just launching a single attack, but instead, he was continuously attacking.

Although it was true that Adam had not reached the golden rank, but still, Hanson could not ignore the attacks that were being launched by him. At the end of the day, even if it was true that they were not capable of dealing critical damage to him, but at least, he was going to be injured if they accumulated.

And sustaining an injury fatal enough to the extent that there was nothing that could be used to heal the injury in this current level of the apocalypse was something that he was not willing to do.

Since Julie had already retreated, Hanson finally focused his attention on Adam. At this time, he raised a barrier that blocked the battle ax that was about to land on his chest.

"You guys are getting annoying!" Hanson stated angrily. At this time, 30 seconds had already gone by. And, as long as he could remember, the previous time, it did not really take that much time for Henry to be able to complete the transformation.

Of course, although 2 minutes were actually not much in normal situations, but in a fight, it was a very long time. And, the ones that could experience this situation were actually Olivia and the rest of the group that were continuously attacking.

Although it was just 2 minutes, those two minutes were like several hours combined when it came to stopping a person like Hanson who was several levels ahead of them.

Still, they were capable of holding on, preventing Hanson from advancing towards Henry. And, this was something that made Hanson furious and frustrated.

He was not sure if Henry was going to be capable of dealing with him after the transformation. But, there was no way that he was going to take a risk again. At the end of the day, this was the only chance that they possessed for the second stage of the apocalypse.

If this chance was destroyed again, then, there was no way that they were going to gain any advantage during the second stage of the apocalypse. They could only wait for the third stage of the apocalypse before they sent another group down.

But somehow, no matter how much he tried, he was not capable of dealing with this group. From time to time, Julie would appear and attack. And of course, since she was in the gold rank, and the skills that she possessed were all fatal, there was no way that he could ignore the attack that she was launching.

So, every moment that she appear, Hanson had no choice but to shift his attention to her in order to block her attacks. At the same time, he tried several times to deal with her, but no matter how many times he did so, she was somehow capable of escaping due to the assistance that she was receiving from the other three.

As for Adam, he had managed to land several punches on him. But somehow, although this young man was already bleeding from the corners of his mouth, he did not hesitate to charge forward.

And in fact, there was another thing that he had noticed that was completely strange. That was the fact that, the red aura that was surrounding Adam was continuously increasing as the fight progressed.

And with the increase of the intensity of the red aura around Adam, there was an increase in his strength as well. And, from time to time, Adam was able to last several moves before he was forced to retreat.

If it was just this, then, Hanson would definitely not be having much trouble. It was just that, as the fight progressed, Adam continuously got stronger. And, he was now capable of lasting several moments than the last time that he was forced to retreat.

He was not the only one. Although the other ones were not getting stronger, at least the other two, but Olivia on the other hand was increasing the intensity of the attack that she was launching.

And during the past 1 minute, they had already exchanged several hundreds of moves. And during this time, the group had managed to injure Hanson twice.

But of course, the injury that Hanson had suffered was not big, just some skin wounds with one of them being a little deeper. But, that was what Olivia was looking for.

Using ice manipulation, she began trying to start attacking Hanson from the inside. And of course, Hanson had already noticed that. It was just that he was not capable of controlling the energy in his body because he did not possess the manipulation skill or ability.

So, the only solution that he possessed in order to stop the ice element from wreaking havoc in his body was to kill Olivia.

The only problem was that Olivia was not an easy target. In fact, in the entire group, she was actually the one that was causing him a lot of trouble with the ice element. Of course, when it came to combat, close combat, she was not just a mage, but a combat mage. For that reason, even if he tried attacking her at a closer distance, she was somehow capable of surviving his moves.

There was a time that he had almost dealt a fatal blow on her when suddenly, she disappeared from where she was. That was something that caught him completely off-guard considering that he had not expected that there was a person that possessed at teleportation skill at this stage of the apocalypse.

It was true that the resolution that was within Hanson’s heart to kill this group was increasing as he experienced the terror of the group, but still, that was just the resolution, but the ability of doing so was the problem.

Of course, other than that, he was actually trying several times to get to Henry. But, Diana who was beside Henry was the one that was defending the attacks that he was launching from a distance.

But, if she was just the only person that was blocking the attacks that he was launching, then, she would not be capable of doing so. Still, Adam and the rest of the group ground the attack while it was still in the air, making sure that it weakened before it arrived close to Diana who neutralized it completely.

...

And while all of this was going on, Henry on the other hand felt the changes that were going on in his body. He felt that his body was filled with a lot of strength, almost the extent that he felt that he was about to burst.

But of course, that was not all that was happening to him. Instead, his body had also began transforming the moment that he began merging with Lenta.
