"Mom—Run!!!"
A hoarse roar cut through the roar of explosions and the roars of the Vitrum warriors.
Mark's figure was like a broken kite, covered in smoke, blood and a pungent smell of gasoline, stumbling towards the thin figure next to the dilapidated pickup truck at the end of the road.
Debbie Grayson's face was as pale as paper in the light of the flames.
She saw that her son, who was a sunny and cheerful young man just a few hours ago, now looked like a devil crawling out of the blood pool of hell.
The torn uniform was soaked in blood, the exposed skin was covered with hideous wounds and burn marks, the left arm was twisted, the right leg was dragging, and every stumble seemed as if he would fall down completely in the next second.
Her heart was gripped tightly.
She was shaking with fear, despair, and incredible anger.
But she didn't back down, she was a mother!
She yanked open the car door and reached out to Mark.
"Mark! This way!"
"Stop that woman! She's the key!"
Behind him, two Vitrum warriors, their bodies charred and smoking, rushed out from the flames and roared.
The explosion caused them to suffer some minor injuries and looked very miserable, but their core combat capability was not seriously damaged.
Their extreme anger made them move faster, like two white lightning bolts tearing through the night sky, heading straight for Mark and Debbie!
The shadow of death looms again!
Mark could even feel the sharp sound of breaking through the air and the biting murderous intent behind him!
His mother was right in front of him, he couldn't let her get hurt!
Never lose again!
"roar--!!!"
An inhuman roar exploded from the depths of Mark's throat!
That was not a wail of fear, but a violent war cry that was completely ignited by the Vitrum bloodline in the desperate situation of life and death after experiencing despair, brokenness, and the reconstruction of body and soul!
It felt like something was broken inside my body!
The severe pain that was like a blunt knife scraping bones was forcibly suppressed by a hotter and more violent torrent of energy the moment he saw his mother in danger!
The pain of repeated tempering in the sewers, the extreme pressure of strength in the bloody road battles, the deep hatred for his father's betrayal, the absolute obsession to protect his mother...
Everything exploded under the stimulation of the moment of life and death!
Buzz——
An invisible, far more condensed and violent air wave exploded with Mark as the center!
The cracked asphalt beneath his feet instantly crumbled to dust! The smoke and dust rising into the sky was forcibly pushed back!
He no longer stumbles!
Under Debbie's horrified gaze, Mark's originally broken body suddenly straightened up under the approaching fists and legs of the Vitrum warriors!
A faint golden light flashed across his pupils like a burning flame!
Power! Speed! Perception!
At this moment, an earth-shaking transformation took place!
Boom! Boom!
The attack of the two Vitrum warriors has arrived!
The fist of the warrior on the left hit Mark's back with a force that was enough to crush rocks!
The warrior on the right swept his legs with a whip kick like a battle axe, intending to completely cripple him!
But Mark disappeared!
It's not an afterimage, but a real, instantaneous burst of speed that exceeds the previous limit!
Bang! Bang!
Two dull bangs!
The attacks of the two Vitrum warriors hit the air hard!
The terrifying force blasted two deep pits on the ground where Mark was standing, and gravel flew like bullets!
"Where is this kid?!"
"Up there!"
The warrior on the left looked up in horror!
Mark's figure appeared like a ghost, diagonally above the warrior on the right!
It's not a jump, it's a short-distance burst of flight that's almost like teleportation!
His eyes were as cold as ice, without any trace of the pain and confusion from before, only the pure and extreme will to kill and the primitive ferocity of the Vitrum bloodline!
No nonsense, clench your right fist.
The arm muscles expanded to the limit, as if the vast and infinite muscle power was violently fluctuating and compressing at the tip of the fist!
It was no longer the clumsy swings from before, but a fusion of his father Nolan's efficient, deadly, and purely destructive fighting skills deep in his memory!
call--!
The fist tore through the air, emitting a shriek like a ghost's cry! The speed was so fast that the naked eye could only catch a blurry white trail!
"What?!"
The warrior on the right only had time to feel a sudden, threatening threat that made his scalp explode! He twisted his body forcefully, trying to block the attack!
Too slow!
Snap! Puff!!!
The teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking and the muffled sound of muscles and internal organs being forcibly torn apart erupted at the same time!
Mark's fist was like a red-hot iron pestle, smashing into the lower back of the warrior on the right side without any hindrance!
The terrifying force not only shattered the spine in an instant, but also penetrated the abdominal cavity, bursting a bloody hole as big as a bowl in the warrior's front abdomen!
The broken internal organs mixed with hot blood and pale bone fragments spurted out like a fountain!
"Uh... gu..."
The eyes of the warrior on the right lost focus instantly, and his body fell forward limply as if all the bones had been pulled out.
Vitrum's strong vitality prevented him from dying immediately, but the severe injuries of his shattered spine and ruptured internal organs had completely deprived him of his combat effectiveness, and he could only twitch in a pool of blood.
One strike! Almost instant kill!
The pupils of the Vitrum warrior on the left suddenly shrank, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and horror appeared on his face.
"Impossible! His strength... speed... how could it be possible?!"
The speed and destructive power of that punch just now far exceeded the seriously injured and dying Mark Grayson reported in the intelligence!
It's even close to the level of a low-level Vitrum officer!
Mark slowly retracted his fist covered in blood and flesh and shook his arm.
The wound burst open again in the previous outburst, and blood dripped through his fingers, but he seemed to feel no pain.
Those cold eyes turned to the only remaining enemy, burning with a violent golden-red light.
"now you."
The voice was calm, but it contained a murderous intent that was even more terrifying than the explosion just now.
"Bastard! You're looking for death!"
The soldier on the left was completely enraged, his fear replaced by rage! He no longer held back, his muscles bulging, his black uniform nearly ripping apart!
He gave up his skills and chose Vitrum's most primitive fighting style!
Pure crushing power!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
He was like a human Tyrannosaurus Rex, and every step he took caused the ground to shake and crack violently!
His fists turned into a violent storm, with a sonic boom that tore through the air, pouring down towards Mark madly!
Each punch contained the terrifying power to split mountains and crack rocks. Wherever the fists reached, the abandoned vehicles nearby were easily blown away, twisted, and exploded like paper!
Mark didn't take it hard!
His transformed perception allowed him to clearly capture the trajectory and peak power of each of his opponent's punches.
His body was like weightless willow catkins, dodging and moving at high speed amidst the violent wind of fists! His movements were swift, precise, and filled with an indescribable sense of fluidity!
whoosh!
A punch heavy enough to collapse a wall brushed past the tip of his nose!
call!
He ducked down and easily dodged a whip kick that could have broken the steel pillar!
Boom!
A big hole was smashed into the ground, and he had already used the force to jump into the air!
"You can only hide?! Coward!"
The Vitrum warrior roared and swung his fists hard with his hammer!
Boom——!
A visible circular shock wave suddenly spread out from him! The range was huge and the speed was extremely fast! This was a range attack, intended to block Mark's evasive space!
Mark's eyes narrowed!
Can't hide anymore!
But he didn't want to hide!
"Drink—!"
A thunderous roar!
Mark twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, his right fist was retracted to his waist, and violent power gathered madly on the tip of his fist!
It is no longer the passive guidance as before, but active and efficient compression and condensation!
The energy was highly compressed, and even a slight spatial vibration was faintly formed around the fist!
Facing the roaring shock wave, he did not retreat but advanced. His body was like an arrow shot from a bow, and he punched out towards the core of the shock wave, where the power was most concentrated!
Boom——!!!!!!
The fist collided violently with the core point of the shock wave!
There is no stalemate! Only a crushing victory!
Mark's right fist was like a heavy earth-penetrating bomb that drilled into the eye of the storm, instantly detonating the highly compressed Vitrum energy!
The torrent of brutal power tore through, penetrated, and annihilated the spreading shock wave!
The remaining force did not diminish, like a roaring tiger, fiercely slamming towards the Vitrum warrior below who was temporarily stiff due to the release of the shock wave!
"No--!!!"
The warrior's eyes were finally filled with despair!
The warrior crossed his arms and tried to block!
Bang!
Snap! Puff!!!
The power of his right fist hit his crossed arms solidly, and the terrifying destructive force instantly shattered his arm bones into pieces!
The remaining force was like red-hot molten iron poured on butter, piercing into his chest fiercely!
boom!!!
The warrior's back suddenly exploded!
A huge blood hole that was transparent from front to back suddenly appeared!
The broken spine and internal organs were swept up by the violent energy and sprayed dozens of meters away. His body was slammed to the ground by this huge force, creating a deep pit. He was like a flattened insect, with only unconscious twitching left.
Mark landed slowly, stood on the edge of the pit, and breathed slightly.
His fist was trembling slightly, and wisps of white steam were rising from the surface of his skin due to the violent circulation of blood and energy.
In just a dozen seconds, two fully armed Vitrum warriors were left with one disabled and the other dead!
The edge of the abandoned industrial area was dead silent.
There was only the crackling of a burning city in the distance and the restless idling of a pickup truck's engine.
Debbie covered her mouth, her body shaking violently with extreme shock and fear.
She looked at her son standing on the edge of the deep pit, covered in blood but emitting a terrifying aura like an ancient ferocious beast, and felt unprecedented strangeness and fear.
That cold gaze, those cruel and efficient methods, made her seem to see the shadow of another Nolan.
Mark turned and looked at his mother.
The violence in his eyes melted quickly when it met Debbie's terrified eyes, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
He staggered, and the severe pain that had just been suppressed surged again like a tide, and the intense fatigue after the outbreak of Vitrum's blood swept through his body.
He grinned, trying to make a soothing smile, but it looked extremely distorted because of the wound.
"mom…"
His voice was hoarse and he was weak as if he had just survived a disaster, but his eyes were extremely clear.
"Don't be afraid...it's okay."
He dragged his body, which had become heavy and tired again, step by step, with difficulty but determination, towards the figure that was the only one who could give him warmth and salvation.
Behind him were the remains of two Vitrum warriors and a devastated battlefield.
The air was filled with the strong smell of blood, gun smoke, and a new, more dangerous aura.
