Prime had seen what Fai was able to do, how he was able to take out Leo, the strength, the speed that was used.
It wasn't something he ever thought Fai could do. He was sure Fai wasn't capable of such speed before... At least, the last time they had met, he wasn't able to do such.
This much raw power, to take down a Mutated Human, it was unheard of before. Prime was sure of one thing now: if he wasn't careful and didn't give it his all, he too would be defeated. Just like Leo was.
Out of fear of being attacked, Prime immediately raised a wall of earth, separating Fai from them.
But as soon as the wall began to form, Fai immediately bounced from his position, a direct result of the additional stats poured into his speed attribute.
With the built-up momentum, he delivered a massive strike to the rising wall, crumbling it down to pieces. Brine, seeing this, immediately sent sharp swipes of wind toward Fai, which he blocked… no, which he punched with his fists.
When the wind made contact with his skin, it didn't leave large cuts as it normally was supposed to.
Due to Fai's increased endurance, it only managed to give him small cuts on his fists, further proving that increasing his endurance attribute alongside HP was a wise decision.
[-3 HP]
[HP: 12/23]
The system notified him, but small wounds like these wouldn't stop him.
He ignored the information for the moment; it wasn't a big deal. With the burning anger from within his heart, Fai charged forward.
Brine, seeing that her wind swipes had no effect whatsoever, was struck with fear. Due to the immense pressure of fear, she didn't know what to do, what type of attack she could follow up with.
The sharp wind swipe was one of her strongest techniques; still being at the "Bronze" stage, there weren't many things she could do... but Fai had just punched through them like they were nothing.
Luckily, her brother was close by, and having fought side by side for a long time, he could tell when he needed to act.
Immediately, from the ground, he created three earth spikes and sent them toward Fai.
Unfortunately, Fai could see them coming his way, and with his increased speed, he easily avoided each one.
But Prime didn't stop there; he created more spikes, as if his life depended on them, but each was easily avoided by Fai.
He would either shift to the side, punch them, or sometimes even bend in awkward manners to evade the incoming spikes. Due to his increased speed, Fai had no difficulty doing such.
Prime, seeing that his attacks also had no effect on Fai, suddenly came up with an idea.
Quickly, he created some distance between him and Fai, forming a wall stronger than the last one he had created.
Then he went toward his sister and whispered something into her ears. Upon hearing what he had to say, she had doubts about the plan he had come up with.
"Are you sure it's going to work?" she asked, skepticism in her voice.
"Do you have any better idea?" he retorted. "Look, this is not the moment for us to argue. It's either we do it, or we fail trying. Unless you have a better plan."
He said, trying his best to convince her.
"Okay, let's do it then. It's not like I can do anything myself against him. I didn't know that he would be this strong. Heck, when did he even become this strong? This guy's a monster. Is he even still human?"
Brine asked as she prepared to put her brother's plan into action.
"That, sis, I don't know. But what I do know is that if we don't stop this guy now, then we'll be done for,"
Prime stated. With that, the wall he had built could be seen crumbling to the floor, and standing on their side, Fai could be seen, his hands outstretched in a punching manner.
"Do you think that hiding behind something as weak as a wall can save you?" Fai said, his eyes a slight yellow filled with anger.
"I said it before, when I'm done with you guys, none of you will ever think of hurting the weak—never again!"
"And who said we were hiding?" Prime immediately chimed in.
"Do you think just because you managed to take down Leo that you're some badass or something? Well, sorry to break it to you, although Leo was strong on his own, he never stood a chance against the both of us."
Brine, who had stayed behind her brother out of fear, now moved forward, closing the distance. She stopped directly behind him, sending her hand forward and wrapping it around her brother's stomach.
She then slipped her hand underneath his shirt and placed it on his navel.
If Fai hadn't known better, he would have had some strange thoughts going through his mind… Yeah, like.. What the...
'What the hell are they doing? Don't tell me they…'
When Brine finished whatever she was doing, Prime stomped his foot onto the ground, and a block of earth rose from below, now suspended mid-air.
Soon, in an instant, the block could be seen breaking down into multiple dust particles. But these particles didn't fall to the floor.
Before they could reach the ground, mid-air, Fai could see the dust spinning. It was spinning so fast that it even produced sounds, as if the dust was cutting through the air itself.
When he looked closely, he could see that the dust had now formed a disc. It was spinning so fast that Fai couldn't tell if it was still just dust particles, or if everything had condensed into a hard, solid disc.
The disc had several pointed, spinning parts, almost like a round, spinning saw.
"Do you even know what makes me and my sister dangerous?" Brine boasted, a smile now gracing her face.
"We are able to combine our mutation powers into one person! In case you still don't understand what this means… what I mean is now I have two mutation abilities!"
Fai, even after seeing what was in front of him, was still finding it difficult to accept. How is this possible? Is this even something mutated hunters can do? Or is it just a particular case?
Fai wondered, his anger now being replaced by curiosity and perplexity.
What the twins were able to do was truly spectacular.
