Chapter 255: Frustrations, Independence

Bang! Bang!

The two attacks launched by Henry collided with the barrier from both directions. Of course, each and every attack was possessing a great amount of power.

And due to the fact that currently, Henry was fused together with Lenta, his physical strength had been drastically increased. So, the attack this time was not only boosted by the energy that he possessed, but it was also boosted by the physical strength that he possessed.

Crack! Shatter!

Not capable of withstanding the attack, the purple barrier that was surrounding Hanson finally shattered. And in the next moment, Henry dropped closer to Hanson, with his sword pointed, one towards the chest, while another one towards the back.

Hanson had already realized that the barrier was no longer capable of preventing Henry from attacking him. For that reason, he had already made earlier preparations.

The moment that the barrier was broken, he did not stay in the same position. Instead, having already prepared in advance, he dodged to the side, managing to dodge the two attacks from Henry.

Of course, since Henry was attacking from both sides with his duplicate, when the target was removed, then, the target was the one that came in front of them. At this point, Hanson was actually trying to make sure that Henry just injured himself.

But, there was one thing that he did not really know. That was the fact that Henry was the one that was in control of the two bodies currently. For that reason, that was nothing like incoordination.

The moment that Hanson moved out of the way, the one from the left pointed the sword towards the left, downwards, while the one from the right changed the trajectory of his attack and pointed towards the right, upwards.

Of course, since he had missed the attack, Henry was not obviously going to allow Hanson to attack him. For that reason, the moment that he landed, he rolled to the side.

Bang!

Just after he had moved, a big dark sword collided with the ground. The ground in that area was immediately shattered, and a big trench was created.

This could already tell the onlooker that the attack that was launched by Hanson was definitely not weak at all. If it had actually managed to land on Henry, then, Henry would have been injured.

After rolling onto the ground, Henry attacked using the fire element. At the same time, he released the sword rain, with several swords suddenly condensing in the air before dropping towards Hanson.

This time, instead of being just attacked by the fire element, Henry was also using the skills that he possessed for the sword. At this moment, several fire arrows were dropping from the sky together with several swords.

Hanson did not expect that Henry was actually capable of avoiding something like that. In any case, he was an experienced person. So, he was able to recover fast enough.

Looking at the attacks that were heading his way, he realized that there was no way that he was going to be capable of dodging the area of effect attacks. So, he suddenly began attacking towards the sky, making sure that the attacks that were coming towards him did not reach him.

Of course, that was an impossibility. So, all that he managed to do was to prevent all the swords and the fire arrows from reaching his body. Nevertheless, some of them managed to reach him.

It might be true that the amount of damage that was contained within an arrow or a sword that was in the air was not that much, but still, it could not be underestimated. Additionally, it was not as if only one of them had managed to land on Hanson.

Feeling the pain that was coming from the injuries, although he was just possessing the body, he could actually feel everything that this body felt. And if he didn’t want to feel everything that the body felt, what he needed to do was to abandon the body. But if he did something like that, then there was no way that the plan that they were having was going to be able to succeed.

Of course, Henry was not going to let a chance like this slip away. So, the moment that Hanson was focused on trying to block the attacks that were raining down on him from the sky, he on the other hand used the restorative pendant in order to restore his energy.

Of course, he understood that there was only a single chance for him to be able to use this restorative pendant in order to be able to recover his energy. But currently, he was not in a situation where he was going to care about something like that.

In any case, after a month, he was going to be capable of using it again. It was just that during that one month, he would have to be careful. And other than that, he would have to make sure that he got something from the system store.

The moment that the restorative pendant was activated, a blue light suddenly shone on Henry’s body. And with that, a warm current suddenly began coursing through his body.

Of course, it was a good thing that the duplication skill was capable of duplicating the items as well. For that reason, currently, both Henry and his duplicate had already activated the restorative pendant, making them recover their energy fully.

...

On the other side, after Olivia and the group managed to recover from the injuries that they had suffered together with the energy that they had lost, they finally looked towards the direction of the building.

They had already been observing the battlefield, and from the looks of it, Henry possessed the greatest advantage. But of course, they knew that changes could happen, but if there was something that happened that Henry was not capable of handling, then that implied that they would not be capable of doing the same.

As for the matter of them joining the battlefield now that they had recovered, that was something that none of them wanted to do. At the end of the day, rather than helping, they were going to make Henry to start paying attention to their safety.

So, it was better for them to stay on the sidelines. But nevertheless, Olivia was definitely not feeling good about being capable of just watching, rather than helping. She was feeling frustrated.

And this frustration was only adding to the frustration that she was having after Sarah was injured and had been unconscious for the past several days.

And until now, although the intensity of the black substance in her body spreading was not the same as it was during the first time, still nevertheless, not even for a moment had Sarah moved, and neither did she open her eyes.

With the two frustrations colliding together, Olivia was definitely feeling angry at herself. If she was strong enough, right now, she would not be standing here. Instead, she would be fighting alongside Henry against the enemy that they were facing.

And other than that, if she were actually as strong as Henry was currently, perhaps she would have been capable of preventing the black mist from invading into Sarah. But right now, she was not strong enough.

So, at this point, instead of just focusing on the battlefield, Olivia looked towards the building. This building had been completely undamaged all this while.

It did not matter if an attack landed on the building or not, but still, there was nothing that was done to the building. While the other buildings in the surrounding areas were collapsing continuously due to the attacks, this building remained standing.

"I’m going into that building to see what it is that these people are doing. I do believe that there is no way that they are going to be here without a reason." Olivia stated. And without even waiting for anybody’s response, she began walking towards the direction of the building.

"Are you sure about that? We really don’t know what is inside there. So, why don’t we wait for Henry first? Together with him, we will definitely have bigger chances in case something goes wrong." Adam suggested as he looked towards the battlefield hesitantly.

"Why are you talking about Henry right now? You can see that he is busy with something. And, don’t tell me that you are expecting that Henry will always be there with you every time." Olivia snorted in response.

The moment that Adam mentioned Henry, she was of course reminded of the fact that currently, she was weak. It might be true that she was stronger as compared to Adam, but that was simply because Adam possessed a profession that was a grade lower than hers.

After hearing what Olivia had said, Adam did not retort. Instead, he thought that what Olivia had said was actually true. In any case, it was not as if they were going to depend on Henry continuously. At the end of the day, Henry was never going to be with them together every time. So, they had to learn how to be independent.

Of course, in his heart, he was telling himself that being independent didn’t mean that they were going to be enemies with Henry. So, since Henry was currently doing something, he decided that maybe they could help with another thing so that they could save time.

Without saying any other thing, he turned around and followed behind Olivia. As for Julie, she did not say anything. In any case, she was just going to follow whatever the group was going to do. Although she was currently at the gold rank, she believed that she was not capable of matching Olivia when it came to fighting prowess.
