Richard's expression remained grim as he ran beside Erik. He didn't like that Emily was in New Alexandria at all.

That also created an awkward tension between the two, who remained silent for a while.

As that silence stretched out, they kept sprinting through New Alexandria's streets and alleys.

Apparently, the blackguards didn't find them yet. But it was just a matter of time given they were using flying cars, and they were bound to spot them from above sooner or later.

Erik, in truth, had an easy way to get out of this predicament. He could simply turn into a fly after having absorbed Volkov's brain crystal and DNA.

The problem was that Richard couldn't. Erik was scared, and sure, of course, that if he left the man alone, he would be captured again.

Richard was strong and for sure knew how to fight, but he could not fight against five blackguards at the same time, even less if they were more, and that was likely to happen if they found him.

As if on cue, engines roared above them. Erik and Richard stopped, snapping their heads up to find the source of the noise.

That's when they saw them. Flying cars were hovering above them, and based on how they were moving, it looked like they spotted them.

"Fuck..."

Five sleek black cars descended from the sky, blocking the crossroads at the end of the street. Two seconds later, from each car came out five blackguards with brain-crystal rifles in their hands.

"Get to cover!" Erik said, tossing Volkov's head to Richard.

The man fumbled with the head, almost dropping it twice before finally getting a firm grasp on it.

With a graceless leap, he dove behind a nearby building wall, landing in a heap just as the blackguards opened fire.

"Great timing," he said.

At that point, one could have said someone threw fireworks into the street because it lit up like a Christmas tree.

But the lights weren't regular bulbs, they were blazing lasers.

Erik's movements became a blur at that point. He had much more space to move, compared to when he was in front of the prison courtyard, clearly because there were fewer people, and thanks to that and his Force Bastion brain crystal power, he dodged each laser easily.

The blackguards observed the scene with utter shock, their eyes wide and mouths agape. They didn't see Erik fight back at the prison.

At that point, they weren't even trying to aim at Erik. Instead, their laser rifles were shooting light in all directions to hit their target. Their struggles failed.

Erik was a blur, an afterimage that moved from place to place in a matter of seconds.

His speed and agility made it impossible for them to aim at him, let alone hit him. The blackguards saw him undoubtedly getting closer.

"SHOOT! SHOOT!"

"KILL HIM!"

"I CAN'T AIM AT HIM! HE IS TOO FAST!"

Erik closed the gap between him and the blackguards with one last push. He reached them before they were able to react.

Then he moved as the first blackguard raised his rifle at him. He dodged the beam of energy aimed at him and punched the man's gut.

The force bastion was at work, and Erik was using it to create spiked gauntlets.

This made it easy for him to kill his opponent. Erik then spun and threw a sharp elbow to the back of the blackguard's behind, breaking its neck.

"HELP! HELP ME!"

Shouts and grunts reverberated through the streets, but none of them came from Erik, who was remaining in zealous silence while he killed the blackguards one by one.

Erik dove behind one of the blackguards. The guy was trying to kill him with a sword.

At that point, it became awkward for him to look at the blackguards attempt to fight him. It became the same for the blackguards, though it was also dreadfully embarrassing for them.

Erik made a lightning-fast strike at the man's head, making it explode.

Then he yanked the gun barrel of a nearby blackguard to the side, kicked the man, breaking his legs, and used the rifle to fire a series of wild shots that always found their marks in the middle of any blackguard's head.

One of his opponents tried to stop him, only to end up with his head blown.

Four and five blackguards, in the remaining seconds they had before Erik set his aim on them, fired together. Erik jumped to the side between the beams and fired his weapon.

After seeing his allies fall, the last blackguard tried to flee, but Erik turned to him and shot him in the back of the head. Then silence fell over the battlefield.

"Richard, it's safe now!"

The older man left his hiding place, seeing Erik standing in the middle of a bloodied street.

Bodies were everywhere. Richard wasn't surprised by such sights anymore at that point and went toward him.

He gave a nod to Erik and gave him back Volkov's head.

"Can you drive one of these?" Erik asked, pointing to a car.

Richard nodded.

"Yes, I can."

Erik quickly stooped to grab three brain crystal rifles from the ground. He then went to the car

and checked the dashboard from the driver's seat to see if the keys were still there.

Thankfully, they were. He quickly threw the brain crystal rifles onto the back seat, their metallic bodies clattering against the car's interior.

"You drive then."

They quickly got in the car. Erik sat beside Richard, who was in the driving seat, and who turned the engines on. The car lifted off the ground and flew into the air.

They saw New Alexandria's maze of buildings and streets below them. There were a lot of blackguards around and converging to their positions.

"Where to now?" Richard asked.

"We must go somewhere where we will be able to split up. I will grab the blackguards' attention; in the meantime, you must reach this place. Erik then showed Richard an address

on his phone. "

"All right then."
