Oliver was used to the pain. Still, his body shook as the shock travelled through the nervous system.
Trembling like a leaf, he stood up, gazing into the darkness to find his enemies once again.
'I deflected most of the force from the attack, and yet, I ended up like this.'
'For sure, they are A-rankers.'
Any doubt he had about their strength and lethality disappeared after being injured.
'10k mana is not enough to defend against their strike. I should evade their attack.' Oliver pondered.
Evasion was the only option he could choose. A-rank superhumans were different from monster or mana beasts. They have strategies and techniques to counter him.
Besides that, he didn't have any of his hidden weapons at hand.
It was not going to be an easy battle.
'Where the heck is Thunder Gramps when you need him?'
Oliver channelled more mana into his body, increasing the limit to 15k. His body could sustain it without incurring any injuries.
