Chapter 331: Under Attack
Stanley felt his entire body tremble as his sense of danger warning made him feel as though something very, very terrible was about to happen.
He looked at the ceiling, seeing the future where it came crashing down on them. He couldn’t understand what was happening or why; all he knew was that he was seeing a terrible future just a few seconds away from happening.
"Everyone, take cover!" he shouted. That was all he could do at the moment as words were all he could give them.
He had no power for anything else.
He turned to the side, seeing Amy who stood still. He worried that she was frozen with fear. He ran toward her to get her out of harm’s way.
But right as he was about to grab her, she turned to look at him and simply waved him away.
Stanley felt a simple force push him back away from her, making him land backward on the floor. At the same time, he heard the sound of something crashing on top of them.
The sound was sudden and so was the ceiling that crashed down on them. However at that exact moment, the ceiling blew away, everything that was coming down blowing away with it.
The ceiling was now a clear opening through which Stanley could see the sky.
His mouth remained agape as he looked at Amy who stood in the center with her hands balled into a fist, having just punched the ceiling away. Just a single punch and all of their troubles were gone, just like that.
Stanley looked at her, unable to understand what was going on. How had Amy done that? How could she...
A simple movement to the side caught Stanley’s eyes. He looked in one of the open areas and saw a man in his 30s appear out of nowhere. He turned around and looked for people and saw Amy who stood in the center of the opening.
His eyes froze at her sight, his body unmoving. "Beautiful," he couldn’t help but mumble in a low voice.
Stanley saw the man and failed to recognize him at all. Not only was he not wearing the association’s dress code, but he also had weapons on him in the middle of the room.
Stanley turned around at that very moment, looking around the room that had not taken any damage. People were appearing one after another, each one with a weapon.
When the first one began attacking the nearest person they saw, Stanley realized what was happening.
’Ambush!’ he thought. They were being ambushed.
He finally remembered Amy’s screaming words.
Emergency. We are under attack.
Stanley saw a man shoot toward him and rolled away before he could, grabbing something hard from the floor before tossing it right at the person.
Stanley didn’t have the time to see what he had thrown, but whatever it was, it blasted through the man’s torso, leaving him very much dead.
Stanley paused for a moment, realizing how good it felt to be at balance once more. His arm was back, so he could do things that he had trouble doing previously.
He then sensed other attacks coming for him at the same time, and dodged around, making his way toward the closest person.
A young lady was about to be stabbed with a glowing red sword when Stanley arrived right next to her and slammed his body onto the other woman who was going to do the stabbing.
The attacker slammed into the desk next to her and was immediately knocked out. Stanley quickly helped the girl hide underneath the desk.
He turned around and saw another person get stabbed. The older woman this time around was cut right through, sliced in half.
Stanley took something from the desk, some sort of tiny but heavy box, and threw it at the man who had killed the older woman. The object slammed onto the man’s shield, nearly breaking it. It flickered hard and by that time, Stanley had already made his way over.
He punched the man as hard as he could and this time, he broke the shield, directly punching the man in the face.
His face caved in and the back of his head was blown away, brain matter spraying all over the floor behind.
Stanley crouched down to the old woman, pressing her two halves together before using his Time Reversal power to heal her. He could use the power from the distance, but he still wasn’t very sure what would happen if the person was cleaved in half like this.
It would be better to press her halves together before doing anything.
The woman came back to life. She hadn’t been dead for more than 3 seconds, so that was all it took to bring her back to life.
"You’re okay. You’re okay," Stanley said, helping her crawl away. Then, he took the gun on the corpse next to her and immediately stood up to see everyone else that was in the room.
Stanley saw a man who was about to shoot one of their medical staff and immediately used his power to stop the time for just the gun. The man pulled the trigger but nothing happened.
He was about to attack when the young man he was about to kill jumped onto the man. The shield stopped the man from moving any further, but at the same time, the man’s fingers flickered and a burst of lightning struck the man on the inside.
Stanley paused for a second as the young man had saved himself.
He reversed the time on the gun so it wasn’t shooting and stopped his powers on it. The man had been incapacitated, so he focused his attention on some other person.
He pointed his gun at the other people in the room and began shooting one after another to help them all. Wherever his eyes went, time stopped, freezing either guns or shields, one at a time, allowing him to shoot them all.
