Chapter 102 Spatial Domain
People were having a great time, completely absorbed in their fun, and no one paid any attention to Nikolai.
His eyes were filled with rage. He didn't have time to call his subordinates and was about to sweep all the people in front of him aside himself when he suddenly saw the side door being kicked open.
A security guard covered in blood rushed in, his voice hoarse as he roared.
"Run!"
He shouted as he ran toward the gate, not to save anyone, but to attract the attention of bystanders so they would make way for him.
After the door opened, the light from outside rushed in, attracting the attention of many people.
Some people were still having fun and enjoying themselves, while others noticed the intruders but were confused and didn't know what had happened.
Before they could react, a group of people rushed in.
No, they're not human, they're the polluters we just saw on the live stream!
Someone immediately turned to look at the curtain in horror, their face filled with disbelief. There were clearly many polluters on it too, so how did they suddenly appear before their eyes?
No one can truly understand the fear of a terrifying creature that was just a video one second and suddenly appears right in front of you the next.
Besides, there's a difference between videos and reality.
It's even more terrifying in reality.
"Ahhh..."
"Run! Run!!!"
The crowd erupted in chaos.
Without anyone directing them, they rushed about in a chaotic manner. Some ran towards the door, some pulled back the curtains and tried to break the glass windows, and those who were close to the stairs ran straight up.
The lights in the lobby weren't on yet, and in the dimly lit room, everyone was rushing around like headless flies.
They were running in different directions, and many people were pushed and fell, then trampled. They were almost out of breath before the polluters even arrived.
The polluter charged into the crowd with a ferocious expression, acting purely on instinct with no rhyme or reason.
The crowd was completely disorganized. Some people remembered to fight back with their superpowers, some were only concerned with running away, and some were too slow to react because they were numbed by alcohol and drugs. It wasn't until the excruciating pain before death brought them back to their senses that they realized what had happened.
The killings spread, gradually reaching every part of the island, and death began to engulf the entire Crocodile Island.
The polluters, whom the audience viewed as playthings, became the sharp blades that pierced them.
Those sitting in the Colosseum stands were directly exposed to this impact.
Shortly after the polluters rushed into the square, explosions suddenly occurred around the stands.
The materials used to build this place are extremely special, capable of withstanding some attacks from supernatural abilities, which is why the island's high-ranking officials dared to sit comfortably in the stands.
The person who planted the bomb clearly knew this; she simply buried it in the ground.
The bomb exploded, the foundation was destroyed, and the building teetered on the brink of collapse.
But why do bombs grow in the ground?!
The assassins were completely baffled. If someone had dug down into the soil, they would have seen it, but they couldn't find any signs of construction at all!
Soon, they no longer had time to think about these things. For safety reasons, the walls of the Colosseum were built extremely high, so that the view from the stands was exceptionally good.
But now the foundation has been loosened by the blast, and a large number of pollutants rushed towards the smell of humans, crashing heavily against the wall, causing the entire building to shake, and the people on it could not stand steadily.
The ram conjured up the wings of a vulture and flew to the outer edge of the ground.
The others weren't so lucky; they didn't have the ability to fly, so they had to rely on wind-type ability users to help them get down there.
However, the number of wind-type ability users is limited, and they will be transferred according to their status.
The first one must be Hugh Solomon. When the assassin was flying with him, a gust of wind suddenly came from somewhere, blowing sand and stones, which dispersed the wind cloud that the assassin had gathered, and the two of them fell straight down in mid-air.
Ram frowned, spread his wings, and struggled to fly in the gale, but finally caught Hugh.
The other wind-type assassin wasn't so lucky; after falling heavily, his leg broke.
Whether it was infected by Hugh's bad luck or not, Ram was also unstable in the air. Something hit his wing, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
However, the Ram adjusted its position in time, allowing the Rest to be placed underneath.
Hugh, an earth-elemental ability user, quickly enlarged and raised a mound of earth on the ground to catch them, ensuring their safe landing.
The remaining people on the stands could only stare blankly. With only one wind-type ability user left, and having learned from the previous experience, they dared not fly along with them. Instead, they rushed to the stairwell and prepared to go down the stairs.
The stairs were very unstable at this point, shaking violently with each impact.
Materials that can withstand supernatural attacks are extremely rare and are only used on the exterior of buildings, not inside. After being impacted, the interior is constantly crumbling, with bricks, steel bars, and other debris falling down. A slight mishap could result in injury.
The assassins were protecting their master, but after only a few steps, the floorboard under Mikhail's feet suddenly shattered, and he fell downwards, one leg getting stuck in the steel bars.
"Pull me up..."
He was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat. The steel bar had cut his leg, leaving a deep and long wound from which blood was gushing out.
The assassin frantically tore through the steel bars, pulled the leader up, and the healer helped stop the bleeding before quickly supporting him on his way.
The son in charge was already crying in fear. He was always well-fed and cared for at home and had never encountered such danger before.
"Dad, we're not going to get hurt, are we? I'm so scared..."
The person in charge had pale lips and was in so much pain that his face was contorted in pain.
Time was of the essence, and the curative treatment could only provide basic relief, with almost no reduction in pain.
He turned his head to look at his son, and said in a trembling voice, "It's alright, it'll be over soon..."
Before the person in charge could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard.
One of the walls collapsed.
The collapse of the stands not far away affected this area, causing the stairs below to break and exposing bare steel bars.
The polluters, who had been hitting the wall, found a way to break through and rushed towards the opening, squeezing into the room.
Amidst the ruins, the polluters jostled and pushed each other, many suffering cuts and injuries, some even losing limbs.
However, the polluter has no sense of pain; even with just its head remaining, it can still open its mouth and bite.
Through the gaps in the floorboards, you can see a huge, strangely shaped group of polluters below.
The ground above collapsed, the foundation below loosened, and a large number of demonic polluters rushed in.
Everyone on the stairs was in dire straits.
Mikhail's youngest son screamed in terror. He grabbed one of his henchmen and shouted, "Get me out of here right now! Hurry up! Or I'll kill your whole family!"
Few assassins survive and start families, and this particular man happened to have a family.
His Achilles' heel had been struck; his crimson eyes glared at the young master of the Mikhail family, then he turned away, shattering the glass behind him as he estimated the distance to the ground.
The assassin is a dual-type ability user with both plant and agility abilities. When he activates his abilities, the ground churns and delicate plants sprout from the soil.
It is already very difficult for plants to grow on polluted land. Trees that normally take ten days to half a month to grow are now impossible to form in a short period of time.
The assassin pulled out a handful of crystal cores and stuffed them into his mouth without a second thought.
Furthermore, some polluters have already broken out of the building and run to the perimeter of the Colosseum.
Here, near the lake, the rescued Hugh Solomon quickly ordered the crocodiles in the lake to come and help.
Strange-looking crocodiles emerged from the lake and gathered in groups on the shore, where they fought with the polluters.
This also created an opportunity for those who were still on the run.
After giving the crocodile a command, Hugh turned and ran. He needed to get away as quickly as possible and escape to a safe place. He didn't care about the lives of the people behind him.
The plant-type assassin swallowed the crystal core, but the amount might not be enough, so he had to take out a new potion developed by the Solomon family. It is said that this can enhance superpowers, but it has great side effects.
He had never used it before, but now he had no choice but to.
After the injection, his superpowers indeed improved dramatically in a short period of time. He actually managed to make the trees grow rapidly, reaching a height that everyone could reach.
Then, one after another, the group jumped towards the tree and climbed down the trunk.
One of the assassins carried Mikhail on his back. When they jumped down, the jolt was so severe that it touched his wounds, and Mikhail was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
The young master of the Mikhail family was about to go down next, but he was pushed aside by the heads of several other families and moved to the back.
"You should respect the elderly and care for the young. Let me go first, and you can wait a moment."
"Me too, me too! I'm old, I'll jump first."
Get out of my way!
The young master was thin and weak, with a low level of superpowers, and was no match for him. He was dragged to the very end.
He stomped his feet in frustration and was about to climb onto the windowsill when a sharp pain shot through his arm, causing him to scream in agony.
Looking back, he saw that it was the same plant-type assassin who had been biting him.
"You...you're insane! Let go of me! Get out!!"
"You want to die, don't you? Go back and kill your whole family! Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
The assassin, who had been fighting against his reason, was now completely corrupted, leaving only the instincts of a corruptor. He released the young master's arm, gathered his strength, and lunged forward, biting the other's neck.
The potion that enhances superpowers is made from crystal cores, with a certain material added to eliminate pollution.
However, this material is extremely rare, and it is said to be obtained from the human body.
How much usable material can a person possess?
Therefore, drug development is very slow; we can only explore and test drugs slowly.
The side effect of this medication is to combat contamination; the larger the single injection dose, the greater the possibility of contamination.
The young master wanted to curse again, but his throat sounded like a wind-blown instrument, making an unpleasant noise. He stretched out his hands and struggled to wave them, trying to grab something, but he only grabbed the polluter and fell to the ground with him.
After twitching a few times, it could no longer make any sound.
The thoroughly corrupted assassin buried himself on the young master's body. When he finally looked up after drinking his fill of blood, his eyes had turned completely black.
Although the assassin was corrupted, the tree he generated still exists.
Mikhail, who was on the back of the assassin, relaxed when they finally landed and sat down on the ground.
People were still climbing down the tree trunk.
The polluters in the vicinity were kept at bay by the crocodiles and are now finally safe for the time being.
He groaned and clutched his wound, cursing Hugh and Gongyang Huo in his heart.
Just when he thought he could finally relax a little, a figure suddenly appeared next to the tree, followed by a flash of cold light, and the tree was cut off at the root.
Those still in the tree screamed and crashed to the ground.
Mikhail hadn't had a chance to rest for long when he was hit by a falling tree trunk.
After a series of misfortunes and serious injuries, even with his strong physique, he could hardly withstand it. In the end, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Who...who are you? Did you do everything that happened today?"
The other family members struggled to their feet and, seeing the red-haired woman who had appeared out of nowhere, asked tremblingly.
The woman in front of me was wearing goggles and a mask, completely obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her features.
She glanced down at the group of people but did not answer them.
The proud son of heaven who was usually high and mighty was not taken seriously by her at this moment.
There's no need to waste words on those who are destined to die.
Shan Ran didn't give it a second glance, turned to look at the crocodile in the distance, and threw a fireball at it.
The crocodiles with supernatural abilities are afraid of fire. The first few were unable to dodge in time and were surrounded by fireballs, causing them to flail their limbs and roll around on the ground.
The crocodiles behind quickly moved away, fearing they would be caught in the flames.
After all, they are just domesticated pets, not loyal enough. Their owners have run away, so they won't risk their lives to protect strangers. Now they are too scared to go in if there is danger.
The mountain dye opened a breach, and the polluters, unhindered by the superpowered crocodiles, rushed straight in, drawn by the scent of fresh humans.
"Ahhh, help!"
"Who are you? Why are you trying to harm us?"
"I'll give you money, I have money, lots of supplies and crystal cores, I can give you anything you need, please save me!"
"......"
They shouted curses and begged for mercy, but the red-haired girl ignored them and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The security system on Crocodile Island has been completely destroyed. Communication is cut off, there is no network, and no information can be sent out. Hugh can't contact Nikolai at all, let alone his other men.
Enraged, he slammed his phone to the ground and cursed, "Damn it, who is it? How dare they come to our doorstep! Why didn't those idiots notice at all? Where's Nikolai? Where the hell is he?"
Hugh was right; Nikolai, the strongest fighter on the island, was indeed dead.
Not long ago, after planting a bomb in the audience, Shan Ran returned to the front hall, intending to take Yu Yuan away in the chaos.
As someone weak in both offense and defense, Yu Yuan almost burst into tears when he saw Shan Ran.
Nikolai, who originally wanted to go out to find his master, stopped in his tracks when he saw the red-haired woman who suddenly appeared in the crowd.
At such a critical moment, everyone is running for their lives, so why would anyone run inside?
Her sudden appearance...
It's teleportation.
Something was wrong with her. Nikolai immediately realized this and guessed that she was involved in all the chaos.
It's better to arrest the wrong person than to let one go free.
The master has many assassins on his side, so it doesn't matter if he arrives a little later.
Let's catch this woman first.
Shan Ran suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and relying on her fighting instincts, she disappeared from the spot.
There were unseen energy fluctuations where she had just stood. People who had fled passed by disappeared as if they had entered an invisible door.
A few seconds later, the person who had just disappeared reappeared in the same spot.
His entire body was covered in undamaged skin; his death was extremely gruesome, even worse than if he had been captured by the contaminated creature.
On the other side, Shan Ran narrowed her eyes and met Nikolai's gaze across the crowd.
The voice of Gavin echoed in her mind.
"Nikolai, Rank A, is currently the most powerful superhuman on the island. His superpower is largely due to the use of drugs, so it's somewhat exaggerated. However, his superpower is very special and strong; it's a spatial ability."
Nikola can create a spatial domain, similar to a room, and pull opponents into it.
Within his domain, he is the ruler; once you enter, you are at his mercy.
Nikolai roughly estimated the other party's ability level and found it to be only C-level.
He concluded that there was nothing to fear.
A short blade appeared at his neck, and Nikolai raised his hand, precisely grasping the hilt of the blade that had teleported to him.
His spatial abilities were two levels higher; he could detect any spatial fluctuations.
Almost the instant he gripped the dagger, a fireball half his height hurtled toward his face.
Almost forgot, she has red hair and is a fire-type ability user.
Moreover, she combines spatial and fire elements, allowing fireballs to appear out of thin air anywhere, making them impossible to defend against.
But he's an A-level, strong enough to overwhelm the opponent.
An invisible door opened, swallowed the fireball whole, and the fireball entered the domain and disappeared.
Another fireball.
A barrage of fireballs hurtled toward Nikolai. He was able to handle them, but he grew increasingly impatient, and his anger intensified.
Door after door appeared where Shanran stood, attempting to swallow her into Nikolai's domain.
Shan Ran was nearly hit several times.
As fellow spatial ability users, Nikolai can predict Shanran's next teleportation location based on spatial fluctuations.
Therefore, Shan Ran's evasion is not only about teleporting away, but also about quickly dodging with the agility of the agility type.
By this time, most of the people in the front hall had died or been injured, and many of the polluters had also died.
Some were killed by the escaped superhumans, but most were killed by Shan Ran and Nikolai.
Their fighting grew louder and louder, affecting not only the polluters but also some people who were trying to escape.
Nikolai had pretty much figured out the other party's tactics, and just as he was about to open an even bigger door, a water sphere appeared out of thin air and covered his head.
She actually possesses two completely incompatible superpowers: water and fire.
At that moment, besides the anger of being hit, Nikolai was also shocked.
Once the water balloon enveloped his head, it clung to him like a leech, refusing to come down.
Nikolai quickly activated his domain ability, placing himself within his domain and disappearing from the spot.
Nothing can harm him within his domain.
When he reappeared, his first thought was to look for the red-haired figure.
Suddenly, I felt a chill in my chest, followed by a sharp pain.
Nikolai paused, slowly lowered his head, and stared incredulously at the huge wound on his chest.
Something unseen struck him, piercing through his chest.
Blood covered it, and its general shape could be seen.
It is a hand.
The Invisible Hand...
Could he be an invisible superhuman?
That red-haired girl has such a powerful helper!
Without a second thought, Nikolai opened another door to the realm, wanting to hide inside.
But then another unseen spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared beside them, followed by a long sword piercing the door and cleanly slashing it, actually cutting the invisible domain gate in half!
Nikolai's eyes widened; he never imagined that a C-rank would possess such abilities.
In desperation, he struggled forward and managed to pull his body out of that invisible hand.
The excruciating pain made him scream, and he trembled violently, trying to enter the domain again.
But that red-haired girl always seemed to find the entrance to his domain perfectly, preventing him from entering.
After several attempts, Nikolai was almost in despair.
His voice was hoarse as he screamed in agony, "Who are you? Who are you?!"
The red-haired girl pushed her goggles up to the top of her head, her red hair curled back, revealing a bright face.
A smile played on his lips, but his clear eyes reflected Nikolai's increasingly shocked expression.
"You...you are...Shanran??"
Hugh Solomon and his group quickly ran towards the docks, and soon they saw a shuttle bus with a key still in its ignition.
So they quickly got into the car and continued on their way.
The shuttle bus sped along, the assassins clearing away the contaminated creatures that tried to pounce on them, carving a bloody path through the enemy lines. They ignored anyone they saw being chased along the way.
Someone rushed over for help, but was killed along with the assassins.
The group was finally able to catch their breath, and Gongyang Huo finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
"Hugh, do you have enemies with curse-type superpowers?"
"Misfortune? I've never even heard of that! Ah! You mean I was so unlucky just now because someone used superpowers on me?"
"That's probably true. People with bad luck are very rare. I've only ever heard of them. But if there's luck, there must be bad luck too. How could it be just a coincidence that you've all been so unlucky today?"
Hugh clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Who tried to harm me? Don't let me catch you, or I'll tear your whole family to pieces and throw them into the crocodile pit!"
Gong Yang frowned. "It might not be targeting you. It could also be about the Colosseum, with the goal of destroying it."
"For the Colosseum? Everyone who knows we're here is an insider. Could there be a mole among us?"
“Not necessarily,” Ram shook his head. “Have you forgotten who was the last person to destroy the regional arena?”
Hugh's eyes widened. "You mean Shan Ran? Impossible! Isn't she on the Third Continent? We have informants everywhere. If they see her, they'll definitely report it. Besides, she doesn't have the ability to disguise her appearance!"
“We don’t really know her; she may have some secrets we don’t know about. Most importantly, there are people from the mountains among today’s performers.”
After a moment of contemplation, Xiu slammed his fist into the car wall. "Damn it! Could it be that the Shan family and Shan Ran leaked the time and address?"
"After we get out, let's go and investigate the Shan family's base. Maybe we can find some clues."
