Chapter 135: The Hawk Clan Enigmus Horde

Chapter 135: The Hawk Clan Enigmus Horde

Outside, the other heroes continue their battles.

Sasha fights against a large group of Enigmuses. She forms a black orb of energy in her hands.

“Hell’s Gravity Bomb!”

She throws the black orb into the ground near the Enigmuses. A dark wave erupts outward, dragging any Enigmus caught within its reach toward the center before detonating. Several Enigmuses are killed in the explosion, but many more remain. Additional Enigmuses rush her from all sides. One grabs her from behind while several others begin striking her relentlessly with their fists.

“Stop it!” she shouts.

After enduring the assault, Sasha thrusts her elbow back into the gut of the Enigmus restraining her. He releases her while groaning in pain. She kicks the Enigmuses in front of her, then spins and chops the head clean off the one who had grabbed her, using just her hand.

The remaining Enigmuses back away, trying to keep their distance.

“I’m sorry that all of you are being controlled,” Sasha says calmly at first, then more aggressively adds, “But there is nothing I can do but put all of you out of your misery. Hell’s Shadows!”

A black mist spreads across the area, enshrouding Sasha’s body as well. Multiple shadowy copies of her form appear and begin moving independently. The Enigmuses hesitate, unable to determine which one is real.

One Enigmus attacks a shadow, his punch passing straight through it. In the same instant, Sasha moves in and drives her hand through his chest, piercing his heart. He collapses lifelessly.

Sasha thinks, “Doing this feels natural… Is this what I did when I had my dark powers? I think I’m starting to be afraid of awakening my dark powers.”

The Enigmuses grow more disoriented, and Sasha takes advantage of the confusion, swiftly chopping through them and severing heads with precise strikes.

With her enemies defeated, the dark mist slowly fades.

“Yes…” Sasha murmurs. “Definitely a natural feeling…”

Her eyes drift toward a building in the distance. A sign reads, “City Council.”

“Perhaps I should go there.”

Keith battles his own group of Enigmuses nearby. He fires a blast of magic energy into a cluster of propane tanks. They explode violently, but at the same time, he opens a portal directly on top of the explosion to send the blast through, exiting from several portals that open around the Enigmuses. The explosions decimate the Enigmuses coming after him.

“Sorry, folks,” Keith says with a grin. “You can’t leave that stuff lying around and expect me not to use it.”

***

RAG charges headfirst into a horde of Enigmuses. He slams his fist into the ground, sending a surge of energy erupting upward that blasts the Enigmuses upward.

He thrusts his arm upward, and countless small beams of magic energy burst forth, tearing through the airborne Enigmuses. The beams rip them apart.

“And still a lot left!” RAG notes.

Meanwhile, in the underground lab.

An Enigmus walks through the corridor. Suddenly, arms reach out from behind and snap his neck. The body drops lifelessly to the floor. Goma steps forward and walks past the corpse.

He enters a room containing a massive supercomputer and four Enigmuses bearing the subject numbers S8, S15, S21, and S24. He remains hidden, listening to their conversation.

“We have rounded up ninety-seven percent of the Hawk Clan for the Enigmus Project,” Subject 24 reports.

“Excellent,” Subject 8 replies.

“What of the remaining three percent?” Subject 15 asks.

“They are currently out of town,” Subject 21 answers. “Do not worry. We will get them.”

“All shall obey Master Kogen!” Subject 8 declares.

Goma thinks, “Kogen!? I know that name. I shouldn’t be surprised that he is behind this. It’s time to kill these abominations.”

Goma steps out of hiding. “Thanks for the information.”

The four Enigmuses snap to attention, turning their heads toward Goma.

“Intruder!?” Subject 8 shouts. “How did you get in here!?”

Goma points at Subject 15’s head. Glowing lines burst outward as his head explodes.

“What the hell!?” Subject 24 yells.

Subject 8 raises his hand. Lasers fire from each of his fingers.

Goma charges forward, weaving between the beams.

“How did I get in here, you ask?” Goma says. “I’m stronger than all of you! That’s how!”

He tears Subject 8’s arm clean off, causing Subject 8 to scream in agony. He then redirects the finger lasers toward Subject 24, shooting him to death with the lasers. Finally, he snaps Subject 8’s neck without hesitation.

Subject 21 roars in fury and charges.

Goma punches straight through his body. Subject 21 drops dead with a hole in his body.

Silence fills the room.

“That takes care of that,” Goma says calmly with a sharp look in his eyes.

He turns toward the supercomputer.

“I’m sure I could learn a lot more using this.”

The supercomputer’s secrets are now within Goma’s reach.
