Chapter 97 - Swire’s Confusion
Although Angelina and the others looked like they were suppressing the Gale Vulture, in reality, the three of them were actually the ones being suppressed.
The Gale Vulture had the upper hand.
Swire was concentrated on attacking the Gale Vulture with his psionic pistols. However, he missed all his shots.
It was the same for Angelina.
The battle had lasted for more than five minutes. However, the Gale Vulture had not even lost a feather, let alone get injured.
On the other hand, Angelina and her team’s attack frequency, strength, and defense were all deteriorating.
“Why is Vincent not back yet?” asked Angelina. She was a little anxious.
Avril did not say anything. Her entire body was leaning against the psionic shield. She was using all her strength to block the Gale Vulture’s attacks.
Blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth. Although she did not suffer any external injuries, her internal injuries were getting more serious after being attacked by the Gale Vulture.
Swire also felt like he was about to exhaust his psionic power. His Angel Wings felt powerless.
“Vincent!”
Just as Swire’s wings disappeared, Vincent suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Vincent managed to catch Swire who had fallen from the sky.
Chris and Nabil were trying their best to recover their strength and psionic power. As they did not use much of their strength on the way to the cave, they had regained their ability to fight.
Although it could not be compared to when they were at their peak, it was still better than Angelina, Avril, and Swire.
Chris transformed into an Iron-Feathered Eagle and pounced on the Gale Vulture.
Nabil buffed Chris and prepared his 100,000 Lightning Strikes at the same time.
However, he decided to give up on his Holy Light Binding’s superpower.
The Gale Vulture was too fast. He could not control it at all using Holy Light Binding. Rather than wasting his psionic power that he had spent so much of his effort to recover, it was better to use 100,000 Lightning Strikes to control the Gale Vulture’s movement space instead.
The Gale Vulture was about to launch its final attack on Avril when it suddenly saw Chris flying towards it. It had no choice but to give up the attack. It then turned around to dodge.
Chris did not expect to strike the Gale Vulture in just one hit. After watching the Gale Vulture dodge his attack, he turned around and spread his wings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Feathers shot towards the Gale Vulture like arrows. They were densely packed and covered a large area.
The Gale Vulture was shocked. It turned around and was ready to dodge.
At the same time, two bolts of lightning suddenly exploded where it took cover. The Gale Vulture was shocked and scared.
Although the lightning did not hit it, it still successfully blocked the Gale Vulture’s attempt to dodge.
Chris’s feathers struck the Gale Vulture’s left-wing. Its left-wing became meat paste in an instant.
“Quack!”
The Gale Vulture cried out unpleasantly and fell to the ground.
Nabil then took the opportunity to release 100,000 Lightning Strikes on it.
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere!
The Gale Vulture’s head was smashed into pieces. Its corpse was left behind with one wing missing.
From the beginning until the end, Vincent did not make a move. He just stood at the side and watched. After the Gale Vulture was killed, he walked forward and put the corpse into his system backpack.
He then looked at Chris, Nabil, and Swire and said, “Let’s go back. We’ll barbecue some Gale Vulture tonight.”
When the three of them heard what Vincent had said, they looked f*cking sick. Was this the right time to say such things?
Vincent did not care about what they were thinking at all. He just walked towards the cave.
When they arrived at the cave, the six of them reunited. Although it had only been a few minutes, everyone shared the joy of reuniting after experiencing a life and death situation.
It was as if a lifetime had passed!
“We’ll talk about it later. All of you should let your bodies and psionic power recover as soon as possible. Also, make sure you carefully analyze all the details of the previous battle. This will be helpful to you all,” said Vincent.
Everyone knew that the most important thing was to recover. No one said anything. They found a place to sit cross-legged. They ate all kinds of potions and entered a state of cultivation.
After everyone had entered a state of cultivation, Vincent walked over to check on Teacher Chris. After seeing that her condition had stabilized and was beginning to improve, he let out a sigh of relief. He went outside to create a layer of protection to protect everyone.
Vincent did not forget to use the World-Cleansing Fire to completely isolate the cave from the mountain. This would prevent monsters that could burrow into the ground and dig holes from entering and attacking them.
For Vincent, the only drawback of this arrangement was that it would weaken the power of the World-Cleansing Fire if he used it later in the battle.
Previously, he had only used less than 10% of his World-Cleansing Fire superpower. Currently, he could only use less than 7% of his power.
Of course, if he had no other choice, he would still use World-Cleansing Fire with all his might regardless of the consequences. There would be no restrictions then.
However, in the present, Vincent had reached his limit in terms of control over his World-Cleansing Fire.
As night fell, the people who were recovering and training gradually woke up. Their injuries had healed after consuming potions. However, they still needed some time to recover.
They had also recovered their psionic power to different degrees.
Swire had leveled up to an intermediate-level superpowered user. He was finally catching up to the rest of them. This made him quite happy. He finally felt like he was no longer a burden to the team.
However, when he saw that Chris had also leveled up, his entire face turned sour.
He was growing, but the others were growing as well. Plus, they were growing even faster than him.
In fact, apart from Chris, his talent was the worst among the six of them.
There was no need to mention Vincent. Even if he compared himself to Avril and Nabil, he would still be inferior to them and not just by a little bit.
Avril, double A-Class superpower.
Nabil, triple A-Class superpower.
Swire, A-Class superpower.
Such a gap made him feel very useless. He was dragging the team down.
Although he may be careless, he was never bad in situations, especially if it was a big one.
He was very clear that if a person dragged the team down, it was very likely to lead to the destruction of the team.
He could not understand why Sibis had chosen him to join the team and carry out such an important task with so many S-Class superpowered people.
Vincent was Swire’s classmate for many years. He could tell at a glance that Swire was shocked.
He raised his hand to pat his shoulder. He then said in a serious tone, “Swire, you should know that no one in this team is useless.”
“Since the teachers have chosen you, you must be indispensable to the team,” said Vincent.
After hearing what Vincent had said, Swire revealed a faint self-deprecating smile.
He knew very well that Vincent was comforting him.
Chris was not as gentle as Vincent. He slapped the back of Swire’s head.
“What are you thinking about every day? We’ve known each other for four months. We usually train together, go to the wild to hunt monsters, and even go to black holes. Don’t you know how important you are to the team?”
Swire looked at Chris and pursed his lips.
Of course, he knew his role, but he believed that anyone else could do the same.
Although Chris and Swire had only known each other for four months, he still understood him quite well.
He looked at Swire, raised his hand, and slapped him again.
