As soon as Mayor Marks gave the order, the surrounding Enhanced surged toward Ethan again.
Ethan didn't hesitate—he activated [Teleportation] and reappeared right beside Marks, swinging his barbell bar down in another brutal arc.
But this time, Marks was ready.
Vines burst from the ground, wrapping around him like a living shield.
BOOM—
The barbell bar smashed through the vines, snapping them apart, and sent Marks stumbling back a few steps.
"Damn, that actually works?" Ethan muttered, a little impressed. Gotta admit, the guy had some brains.
But before he could follow up, a wave of Tier 5 Enhanced closed in, their attacks slamming into him from all sides.
Ethan had no choice—he teleported out again.
The moment he reappeared, the Enhanced swarmed him once more.
"Yeah… this guy's not gonna be easy to kill," Ethan sighed. "Guess I need to pick up a heavy-hitting ability next time."
