BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM chapter-997-a-city-in-flames

As the blackguards and Volkov's remaining troops fled in panic, Erik and his forces seized the opportunity to press their advantage.

For the first time since the beginning of this war, rebellion, or whatever it was, the rebels had the upper hand.

Erik and June soared over the city streets. From his vantage point, Erik directed the chase, his voice booming across the sky.

"Don't let them regroup! Push them out of the city!"

The Chimaeric Demons bounded through the streets, cutting off escape routes and herding the fleeing soldiers towards the city gates.

Their presence alone was enough to send many of Volkov's troops running in blind panic, and Erik's theatrical stunt only added to their fear.

Though that wasn't the only thing they were doing. The clones were killing the enemy soldiers the best they could.

Even the blackguards were too scared to do something. Erik Romano was simply too much. They needed to get rid of him. At this point, it was even more important than getting the source of his multiple powers.

But at the same time, the blackguards were salivating at the prospect of getting that much power. Erik's display of strength only made the situation more salivating for them.

June swooped low over the retreating forces, his massive wings creating gusts that knocked fleeing soldiers off their feet.

His roars could be heard throughout the city. Even the citizens saw him at that point, and that prompted the news channels to create a piece on it. However, they quickly saw a man on top of the black wyvern.

The camera man zoomed on Erik's face. The camera then caught the call Erik suddenly received.

"Fischer."

"Erik! What is that?"

Albeit Erik couldn't see it, Fischer had a scared and worried face as he realized what Erik could do.

"What are you talking about?"

"The wyvern, the black wyvern! You had such a powerful weapon, and you said nothing?"

"Ah, that," Erik said. "The black wyvern is June."

Fischer's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth slightly agape. He ran a hand through his hair, his face pale and brows furrowed as he struggled to process what Erik just said.

"June?! What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Fischer, listen to me. The black wyvern is June, but this is not important right now. What is important is that you send all our forces to kill the blackguards and drive out Volkov's forces from the city. Is that clear?"

"But...?!"

"No buts, please. We need to do this now. June is not as powerful as a black wyvern; it is only a ruse. Also, contact the news channels, saying that the black wyvern is with me, and tell them to push the citizens to keep fighting the enemy. Is that clear?"

"Y-yes..."

"Good. See you later."

Erik put aside his phone.

"Good. Now I need to capitalize on this."

Erik's sight ended up on a cluster of blackguards fleeing. They were the same ones targeting June; they had two brain crystal powers. The fire and earth wielder was among them.

"It's time for some revenge, June."

<Yes, Master.>

With that, the clone flew toward the fleeing enemy.

Then, Erik channeled mana through his neural links and unleashed his fury from above, creating obstacles to impede the enemies' retreat.

Of course, that was because he simply wanted to give a chance to the rebels and the Chimaeric demons to kill them.

These people needed to die. They were too dangerous, as they were able to fight on equal ground with the Chimaeric Demons.

Given how rich and shrewd the blackguards were, it was clear the blackguards were going to give to more of their man this ability. If they did, the situation would become troublesome. Walls of ice sprouted from the ground, blocking streets and forcing the fleeing troops towards the major thoroughfares. Wind blades sliced through the air, killing those who lagged.

[HUMAN KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

The blackguards, despite their training, found themselves overwhelmed. Some got lucid enough to try to form rear guards to cover the retreat, but these were quickly killed by the rebels and Chimaeric Demons.

Soon, the entire group was wiped out. Then Erik noticed a large group of enemies bottlenecked at one of the city gates.

"June, let's give them a push!"

<Yes, Master.>

The wyvern let out a deafening roar, making heads turn and people trip. Then Erik unleashed a massive ball of fire toward the enemy.

From that above, the blackguards weren't able to say if the attack came from the wyvern or from Erik, and that was exactly what Erik wanted to achieve. Confusion.

The blast hit the congested soldiers like a battering ram, sending bodies flying and making everything burn in a sea of fire.

Erik's gaze swept across the city streets below. To his satisfaction, he noticed the citizens were still helping the rebels fight.

"June, look," Erik said, gesturing down. The clone saw the situation below.

<I see it, Master,> June said telepathically.

All around the city, citizens were using their brain crystal powers to kill as many of Volkov's soldiers as they could.

A shopkeeper manipulated dust, creating explosions that sent a group of enemy soldiers

tumbling.

But that was the best he could do. Though nearby, an elderly woman used her mana bow to provide cover for the chasing rebels.

In another street, a gutsy teenager used her crazy bright lights to blind and mess up the escaping enemies, making it tough for them to find their way.

Erik told June to fly lower, bringing them closer to the ground. He wanted to use the maneuver

to scare the enemy soldiers, to let them know he was there, and that there was no escape for

them.

"Let them see us."

As they flew, he continued to bombard the enemy.
