Chapter 211: Powerful Ophelia and Drakina
Lydia and Vincent stood back, observing the escalating confrontation between Cassandra and the Tier 4 zombie, Ophelia. They watched intently as Cassandra, fueled by her pride and determination, prepared for her next attack.
Cassandra, with a determined glint in her eye, summoned even greater power than before. She raised her hands, and the air around her grew colder as she channeled her energy. With a flourish, two enormous spears of ice materialized, hovering ominously in the air.
"Let’s see if you can handle this!" Cassandra declared, her voice echoing with defiance. She thrust her arms forward, sending the massive ice spears hurtling towards Ophelia at an incredible speed.
Ophelia, however, seemed entirely unfazed by the impending attack. She greeted Cassandra’s effort with a playful smile, her eyes twinkling with amusement. Her movements were smooth and assured as she quickly loaded two flame bullets into her guns, a confident swagger in her stance.
"You’ll need to do more than that to hurt me," Ophelia taunted, her voice laced with mockery. She aimed her guns with precision and fired. The flame bullets streaked through the air, a sharp contrast to the cold ice.
As the bullets met the ice spears, there was a moment of spectacular collision. The spears shattered upon impact, and the remnants began to melt rapidly, steaming under the intense heat of the flame bullets. The scene was a dramatic display of opposing forces clashing.
Ophelia, her smirk widening, turned her gaze back to Cassandra. "Is this all you can do?" she asked, her tone dripping with derision. She twirled her guns casually, clearly enjoying the moment.
Cassandra, her cheeks flushed with anger and frustration, stepped back, her pride wounded by the ease with which Ophelia had countered her attack. She had never expected such a powerful response from her opponent. It was a humbling moment for her, and she was forced to reconsider her approach.
Erik, seizing the moment with his inherent confidence, prepared to take the lead. "Watch and learn," he said, a smirk playing on his lips. He summoned his power, and his hands became enveloped in crackling thunder gloves, while his body was coated in a sheen of electricity.
With incredible speed, Erik darted towards Ophelia, his movements almost a blur. In an instant, he was behind her. "You’re strong, but let’s see how you handle my speed," he boasted, aiming a thunderous punch at the back of Ophelia’s head.
But Ophelia, with her ever-present smirk, seemed unfazed. Unbeknownst to Erik, Drakina had already anticipated his move. In a swift, fluid motion, Drakina countered Erik’s attack. Her right fist, imbued with her own formidable power, connected squarely with Erik’s face, sending him flying backward.
Erik, taken by surprise, landed with a heavy thud. As he picked himself up, he cursed under his breath, feeling the full force of Drakina’s strength. The impact had left him momentarily dazed, and he realized just how formidable Drakina was as an opponent.
Erik, staggering slightly from Drakina’s unexpected and powerful blow, clenched his fists in frustration. "Damn it, how can they be this powerful?" he exclaimed, his voice a mix of anger and disbelief. He shook his head, trying to clear the daze and regain his composure, his confidence visibly shaken.
Alfred, standing tall and exuding his usual arrogance, looked at Erik with a smug expression. "I warned you they were strong, but you clearly underestimated them," he said, his voice laced with a hint of superiority.
Erik, turning to face Alfred, his face red with a combination of embarrassment and anger, shot back, "I knew they were formidable, but this is beyond what I expected. They’re on a whole different level."
At that moment, Ophelia, with a playful twirl of her hair and a crazy glint in her eyes, joined the conversation. Her tone was teasing, almost taunting. "Is this really the best the Tier 4 Ascendants can do?" she said mockingly. "You’re really lowering my expectations. I thought you’d be stronger."
Cassandra, standing nearby, bristled at Ophelia’s taunt. Her prideful nature wouldn’t allow her to take the insult lightly. She stepped forward, her eyes blazing with anger. "Don’t get cocky," she snapped. "We haven’t even started yet."
Erik, shaking off the shock from Drakina’s previous attack, regained his footing. He stood tall, his confidence slowly seeping back into his posture. "You’re going to regret underestimating us," he warned, his voice firm and resolute. "We’re just getting started."
Meanwhile, a subtle movement in the shadows caught everyone’s attention. Vincent, ever enigmatic, was making his move. He emerged from the darkness, his hands wielding knives that glinted ominously in the dim light of the Death Land. His approach was stealthy yet deliberate, a predator closing in on his prey.
Alfred, watching the scene unfold from a distance, couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. A smug grin crept across his face as he silently urged Vincent on, thinking to himself, ’This is it. Take her down, you enigmatic assassin.’
Vincent’s eyes were focused intently on Ophelia, his expression unreadable yet intense. Every muscle in his body was tensed, ready to strike with deadly precision. The air around them seemed to grow colder, the tension palpable.
Ophelia, on the other hand, appeared to be enjoying the moment. Her lips curled into a playful, almost taunting smile. There was a spark in her eyes that betrayed her excitement for the impending confrontation. She stood confidently, her posture relaxed yet alert, clearly not intimidated by Vincent’s stealthy approach.
"Did you think I wouldn’t notice you?" Ophelia teased, her voice laced with amusement as she effortlessly turned to face Vincent. In a fluid, graceful motion that contrasted with her mocking tone, she raised her gun and fired at him.
Vincent, usually so composed and in control, couldn’t hide his surprise. "What? How could you sense me?" he exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and disbelief. His usual calm demeanor was shaken, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Ophelia’s smile widened, her amusement evident. "It’s easy because I’ve known with someone like you before," she responded, her tone playful yet mysterious.
Vincent, momentarily off-balance, tried to regain his composure. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, his confusion clear in his voice and on his face.
Ophelia, still smiling, shrugged nonchalantly. "I don’t need to explain." Her casual dismissal was a stark contrast to the seriousness of the situation. She fired her gun once more, the shot echoing through the air.
Vincent, realizing he was outmatched in this encounter, tried to dodge but was too late. The bullet hit its mark, and he stumbled backward, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud.
The other Tier 4 Ascendants, observing the exchange, were taken aback by the turn of events.
As Vincent lay on the ground, trying to recover, the reality of their situation became even clearer. Ophelia and Drakina were not only powerful but also possessed skills and abilities that made them unpredictable and dangerous opponents.
