Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 294: Armors with Extras!

Miles ran at Number 3 with his maximum speed and appeared in front of him. His punch was covered with energy. Miles even formed a gauntlet with spikes around his fist. When the fist connected, Number 3 still wasnt looking at him, but an empty area behind him.

Number 3 flew backward and hit the ground. The revolver in his hand was thrown away, and he shook his head in surprise. What the hell? What the hell just happened?

You were under my illusion. Miles only said and started to walk away.

That is impossible. I broke away from your illusion! Number 3 said. He of course realized Miles was trying to put him under the illusion, but he resisted it. Miles wasnt the only one who could use Mind Attacks. When Miless limb reached his mind, he fought back, and the illusion he created melted thanks to his energy. He saw Miles fall onto his knees because of the backlash. He saw it with his own two eyes.

What you saw was an illusion as well. Of course, I know you would feel my attack, so I feigned I failed, but in truth, you were under my illusion the whole time. Miles said and left the stage. Number 3 looked at him on his knees. But it was too late.

Soon all the fights ended. At this point, there were only 4 fighters, and two of them were wearing his crafts. But sadly, the two would face each other. One of them was Alex of course, and the other was Number 7, Safire, his first employee. With her rare element, and armor Miles crafted for her, she was able to beat all of her opponents.

Since they were in the semi-finals now, the fights would be on the main stage, and they would go in order. First to go was Alex and Number 7.

Alex gracefully walked to the stage and waited for Number 7 to start. Safire blushed a bit but talked first anyway.

Number 7, Superpower Hellfire. Heart Seed. Three body and two mind serums. She said unhurriedly.

Number 1, Superpower Ukkos Incarnation. Heart Seed. Three body and mind serums. Alex too introduced himself.

Their fight started just after that. Number 7 dashed with her shadow moving faster than her. Miles looked at her body and realized her body was like a mirage. It was appearing and disappearing on the stage. Wherever her shadow moved, her body would also appear on top.

She is using her shadow to increase her speed! Miles realized.

Nice trick. Alex smiled and formed a lightning ball in his hand. The lightning traveled up into the air above the stage and pinned there. It shone with purple light, banishing all the shadow on the stage. Without shadow, Number 7s movements stopped. She looked quite disheartened.

What now? Alex asked, but Number 7 didnt answer. Alex charged a lightning sword and kept it in his hand. He started to move towards Number 7 like a flash and attacked her. Number 7 raised her arm to block the attack and stopped the descent of the sword. When lightning hit the armor, it got absorbed and one of the lights at its chest lit.

Hehe. Nice armor! Alex praised and dispersed the lightning sword. He stretched his hand to the armor and focused on his lightning sucked by the armor from his sword, but to his surprise, he failed to feel it. While he was focusing on the armor, all of a sudden, a shadow word descended on top of him. He looked around and smiled.

Not bad! He said and charged his energy into his mind. Lightning elemental energy washed the area and reached Number 7s mind. Two powers clashed and the shadowland started to crack with purple lightning. Both sides were fighting evenly, but all of a sudden Alex felt danger behind him.

He moved without thinking, but a sword made of fire grazed his torso. Luckily the wound wasnt deep. With it, the illusion got broken and Alex saw Number 7 was behind him.

How? He asked with a frown. Ever since the competition started, this was the first time he lost his smile.

You expelled the shadow from the stage, but where there is light, there is also shadow. The shadow formed beneath the stage, and I used my shadow to travel behind you. Number 7 said calmly. She wasn't a fool, of course, she wouldnt tell her secrets in mid-fight, but Alex was already looking below the stage and the lightning pinned on the sky. He was about to figure it out himself. She decided to explain while asking a question of her own.

How can you keep that lightning in the sky, pinned? She asked as she looked at the lightning. She couldnt see clearly, but the energy she was feeling was too intense. It was even getting stronger.

Alex smiled as he looked at her. That is because it is my ultimate.

Number 7 thought he was joking with her, but the honest smile on Alexs face made her doubt her judgment. Can he really? She looked at the lightning in the sky with bewilderment.

Alex didnt give her time to think and charged once again. He formed lances of lightning and threw them to his opponent, while Number 7 barely escaped from them. Her hellfire formed in the shape of halberds. The long weapons floated in the air and clashed with lances. Fire and lightning exploded and created shadows on the stage. Number 7 used this to her advantage and attacked Alex from different areas.

Miles was watching the fight with complete attention. He crafted the armors both were wearing, so he was aware of their shortcomings and advantages. The 8 lights out of 9 were lit on Number 7s chest, and the 2 of 3 lightning marks on Alexs armor were also filled. The third was still half empty.

They are about to be filled. Miles thought and looked at both of them.

Number 7 let some of the lances hit her armor, while she was only covering the dangerous spots. While Alexs armor was charging with his own power slowly.

Miles crafted that armor for Alex especially. It was using its own electricity to create a strong electrical current. When it was filled, Alex could use it to charge his ultimate fully. Reducing his time to fill the ultimate tremendously. While Number 7s armor was getting elemental attacks from opponents, and charging a strong attack with the same element. Although it wasnt as useful in one on one fights, in group battles, it was pretty devastating.

Soon the 9th light lit on Number 7s armor. She brought her two hands together as she charged all her energy into the armor. The lights shone and moved towards her arms. A sun born in her hands, and at her will, the lightning attack charged in the armor so far, launched towards Alex.

Alex looked at the attack with his eyes wide open, while bringing his hands in front of him. The charged lightning attack clashed with his hands and stopped there. Only in seconds, it vanished, while the last mark on his armor also filled to the brim.
