Ability Wielders 67 Raw Power

"Reporting to base." The man with the communicator spoke in a confused tone. "A woman and a kid came out of the portal."

"Copy that." The man on the other side responded. "Permission to probe."

Hearing that, the man with the communicator pressed a b.u.t.ton and talked. "Who are you? Can you understand us?"

The soldier cautiously asked, the speaker on the reconnaissance vehicle relaying his message to Crimson Enchantress and Daniel. "h.e.l.lo? Can you hear us? Are you human?"

"What kind of a question is that?" Crimson Enchantress' countenance contorted in anger as she heard the question from the man. "We look human, don't we?"

"Er…" The man speaking was stunned. It was simply routine to ask something along those lines despite it being regarded as a stupid question. He didn't expect for the woman to actually speak, much less in that manner.

A few seconds later the man recovered from his daze due to being sent a message from the base. He read the message on his communicator, "This is restricted Defense Force grounds, what are you doing here and how did you get in?"

One must know that all the World Government-authorized military bases had state-of-the-art security systems that cannot be bypa.s.sed even by the most skilled Defense Force officers and infiltration agents or spies.

'The main headquarters is probably seeing this as well,' the man with the communicator thought. 'Teleportation has always been a mystery and a scientific impossibility, one that will never be reached…'

The man was right, the base saw this black hole and was cautious. What he didn't know, however, was that the base he was communicating with has some people that were in the know, along with the leader within the base. They understood what was that black hole, and that the two people who emerged from the portal was from Kamay ng Lagim.

At that moment, Crimson Enchantress opened her mouth. "How we got in here? I'm sure your leaders already know the answer to that, as for why…"

Clapping her hands, the soulless-eyed Daniel walked forward to the reconnaissance vehicle with unhurried steps, the color of his right eye s.h.i.+fting into brown. The people in hiding were alerted as they took aim at Daniel.

"Stay back." A slightly panicked voice came from the speaker of the vehicle. "I warn you to stay back, otherwise the soldiers surrounding you would open fire."

Eight meters, seven meters, six meters… When Daniel crossed the three-meter distance with the reconnaissance vehicle, the man shouted, "Open fire!"

Abruptly, Daniel's left eye s.h.i.+fted into an amber color, enveloping him in an amber-colored organic ma.s.s immediately, the bullets merely causing sparks on its surface and ricocheting off the armor.

"What the f.u.c.k?" The man with the communicator cursed within the vehicle. His first instinct was to tap the driver and hurriedly saying, "Run him over, run him over!"

Reflexively responding to the man's pleas, the driver stepped on the gas pedal at full throttle and came rus.h.i.+ng at Daniel. A few seconds later, the vehicle stopped, Daniel's hands were on it. The entirety of the vehicle was being compressed. It was an amazing sight, except for the soldiers inside.

"Holy f.u.c.k!" The man with the communicator and the driver said at the same time as the vehicle was completely compressed into a small cube with them inside, killing them.

"Wooh, that's something…" Crimson Enchantress exclaimed, the portal behind her closing by itself. "I guess I won't need to make a move after all…"

Saying that, she disappeared, going to the side, engulfed in some sort of power to make her unperceivable. "Keep the cover up in case somebody comes we have to protect Daniel… We can't lose such a powerful disposable p.a.w.n."

"Yes, madam," a man spoke within the covers. As all the soldiers of the Defense Force in here were regular humans, they couldn't possibly sense that a man came out along with Crimson Enchantress and Daniel.

He was one of Crimson Enchantress' seduced people, a person with an Ability to make invisible covers that would allow them to remove detection from current-existing technology and any kind of power as well.

It was a power that functioned similar to Asw.a.n.g's Invisible Hunter, albeit weaker, in that its sole usage was to create covers. "I just hope n.o.body stronger than us comes…"

With that, Daniel stomped his foot, spikes from the cement road protruded out, impaling the 28 Defense Force soldiers hiding behind the origami s.h.i.+elds. Whilst doing so, his face had no remorse at all.

Howbeit, within Daniel's consciousness, his heart was internally screaming, begging for someone to kill him. Why? Because he was actually conscious, and in spite of that, he wasn't in control, blinded by extreme l.u.s.t or desire to penetrate Crimson Enchantress. To make it worse, that thirst exclusively applied to Crimson Enchantress, and n.o.body else.

All the while killing people, Daniel's mind was filled with fantasies of Crimson Enchantress. It was a bizarre, terrifying, and incredibly traumatic experience for Daniel. Regardless, he could not stop as he couldn't control his body at all.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the camp, within the base, there were numerous people in a control room arranged in a circular fas.h.i.+on. In the middle of the encirclement was a hulking man with a square jaw wearing fatigues.

He was the commander of the camp, a member of the Triple A, and a member of the secret organization established by the Philippine government in cooperation with Puting Araw, the Wielder Supervision and Existence Regulation Administration, or WISERA.

As part of WISERA, he was one of the people in the know regarding wielders and their superpowers. In truth, the second he heard an anomalous black hole, he already knew what the soldiers were talking about without needing a picture.

Of course, as a commanding officer, he couldn't possibly lose all panic, and he couldn't endanger the existence of wielders alongside Puting Araw, who supplies them with powerful weapons that might become handy when a country invades them.

Plus, if wielders from other countries attack, they would doubtlessly need Puting Araw's help as tanks, much less regular humans, wouldn't stand a chance against those monstrous lifeforms that can raze entire cities with their power.

Which is why the commander had to act as if he didn't know what was going on and had to proceed with caution. All this while, he was coordinating with the main base and was informing him of what to do. That was when…

"Sir, we lost contact with Roaming Troop Charlie." The agent responsible for communicating with Roaming Troop Charlie spoke. "S-sir… Look at that…"

At that second, the cameras scattered in the area that Roaming Troop Charlie was in zoomed in on the screen in front of the commander. "The… Reconnaissance vehicle was… Crushed into a cube…"

"Oh s.h.i.+t…" The commander was stunned. They were dealing with one of those powerful men. Abruptly, he fiddled with the communicator in his hand. "Ah… This is going to end in a disaster… Send in the other troops after him, the railgun tanks, and I authorize the usage of the experimental guns sent to us. Backup will be here shortly, enter red alert."

"Affirmative." With that all of the soldiers in the camp turned busy instantly, and the members a.s.signed to be at the tank storage units boarded it immediately, kind of excited to use the mythical and top-secret railgun tanks without knowing who created it in the first place.

Outside, on the eastern part of the camp was Daniel, standing idly with soulless eyes, his minds constantly filling up with the picture of Crimson Enchantress' naked body.

Precipitously, another troop of vehicles approached him. Turning his eyes into a combination of peach and gray, Daniel disappeared from his position, bursting towards the legion of vehicles.

The men acted fast, brandis.h.i.+ng Essence Technology weapons supplied to them by Puting Araw. The guns they held were semi-automatic directed-energy rifles that fired bursts of energy, an experimental version that was given to the military for testing.

Although the weapons were of Puting Araw in origin, the soldiers were informed a bit differently in regards to this weapon. To summarize, they were told the origins of it were top-secret. In regards to this, the soldiers were made to swear an oath that they would never say anything to the upper division of the Defense Force.

At the end of the day, they were still Filipinos, and their sense of patriotism and belonging to their country was too high, leading them to not say a thing at all. Anyhow, not like they were asked anything at all about this matter as these weapons were 'top-secret.'

Reaching near the platoon of soldiers, Daniel saw the soldiers firing streams of white lasers that traveled at 1300 kilometers per hour. The speed of the energy bolts shooting towards him were indeed fast, however, for a wielder like Daniel, these were rather slow because of his brain processing speed.

After all, he was still a wielder, and with essence energy attribute enhancement, Daniel's senses and mind can be considered as superhuman even without the help of an Ability. To top it off, as a consequence of years of gaming experience, Daniel's reflexes were faster than most people, more so as he was one of the higher-ranking people in the game Primal Rage of the Philippine server that prior to awakening.

Utilizing everything he had at hand, Daniel dodged and weaved through the hail of bullets. Closing on his aggressors, Daniel, or rather, Daniel's subconscious and combat instincts opted to take the infantry first, das.h.i.+ng faster.

Ceasing his advance, Daniel crossed his hands and did a motion similar to opening an elevator door with force. The second he finished his action, the men firing at him stopped, gagging as they cannot breathe. Then, Daniel made an action as if he was pus.h.i.+ng something out of the ground, pulling the air from the men's lungs, effectively killing them.

s.h.i.+fting his peach eye into red, Daniel heated up the air surrounding the reconnaissance vehicle to extremes, with the metal reddening. The two people inside freaked out, the heat pervading their body, ultimately exploding as the blood in their body boiled.

A few minutes later, the vehicle was completely melted, with Daniel converting his gray iris into brown, manipulating the molten metal.

Inside the invisibility cover, Crimson Enchantress whistled, "d.a.m.n, what kind of power does this kid have? Is that really a Level 2 wielder? Imagine if he escapes from my grasp… or evolve to Level 3…"

Crimson Enchantress and the guy beside him s.h.i.+vered at the thought. The current Daniel's display of raw power was enough for them to be terrified. To think that that was merely a fraction of Daniel's power was absurd.

"We have to take him back no matter what, or at least kill him." Crimson Enchantress shook her head. "Otherwise, if he's returned to Puting Araw, who knows how much security and training they will put on Daniel… If that happened, and he grows in the future, I must admit that he'd probably be stronger than Black Devil…"

Even Crimson Enchantress couldn't believe her own words, but the evidence was in front of her eyes. Needless to say, many Level 2 wielders would be capable of such a feat, take Hayden, or at least the Hayden they knew, for example. There was no doubt that Hayden, with that freakish man's capability, would be able to do such things. The difference was that Daniel did so effortlessly, while Hayden would most definitely need to do so much more to replicate even a part of what Daniel has done.

Moving on… In that instance, a railgun tank has appeared on the side, approximately one hundred meters from Daniel.

The high-powered sound intuitively rang Daniel's alarm bells, unconsciously motioning his hands to create an extremely thick barrier made of the molten metal. His red eye s.h.i.+fted into a light blue color as the molten metal rapidly cooled up, creating a barrier between him and the tank.

The tank fired, hitting the metal barrier. Behind the barrier, Daniel's eyes were both brown already, both of his hands on the barrier in an attempt to distribute the immense kinetic energy that was transferred from the projectile into the barrier.

Consequently, the barrier shockingly held up, Daniel's attempt at stopping it successful. Concluding that, Daniel's right eye turned into gold, making him invisible.

Without a word, Daniel disappeared from the sight of Crimson Enchantress, and the guy with him. Crimson Enchantress was surprised, "He has invisibility?"

Following that, the tank charged up the railgun again and fired, destroying the barrier immediately. The people inside celebrated with the a.s.sumption that they've defeated the threat. Just as the commander of the tank was going to report their success to the base, the hull of the tank rapidly experienced an abrupt drop in temperature, as if it was… Freezing.

Daniel reappeared akin to a ghost, touching the tank with both of his hands. At that point in time, the spread of the freezing exponentially rose, soon enveloping the entire tank in ice.

Daniel's eyes both metamorphosed into gray, creating a powerful vertical draft to fling the frozen tank in the air, turning his back, Daniel used the amber organic armor to protect himself of what was to come. When the tank landed, it shattered into millions of ice shards flying outwards.

Confirming that the rain of ice shards was finished, Daniel changed his irises back into gray, deciding to produce four powerful tornadoes in his surroundings to ravage the base.

"Holy c.r.a.p," Crimson Enchantress shook her head in disbelief. "What kind of a power does this kid have? This kind of f.u.c.king firepower… To think that he was overshadowed by that puny Hayden…"

Crimson Enchantress couldn't wrap her head around the fact that they made Hayden a high-profile target instead of Daniel, who was ahead in terms of raw power than Hayden. In comparison to Daniel, Hayden was nothing at all.

If Hayden heard these words, he wouldn't have been angry at all. On the contrary, he'd be celebrating that Kamay ng Lagim was, alas, leaving him alone, though he'd be pitying his friend Daniel as well for being some sort of a scapegoat for him.

What followed after was, instead of being subdued, Daniel hara.s.sed the people within the camp, inducing ma.s.s chaos, leveling the entire camp down including the central building to avoid calling of further reinforcements. n.o.body was able to do anything at all. Well, we can't exactly blame them, can we? Daniel was a.n.a.logous to a force of nature in the present.

...

5:47 PM, Zamboanga City, underneath the Liwayway Hotel Zamboanga City branch, in the secret facility. The place was bustling due to news winding out that a confirmed wielder attack was occurring in Camp General Basilio Navarro.

As the existence of wielders in the Philippines were of utmost secrecy, this was instantly made top priority, with a hundred Level 2 Special Agents led by five Level 3 wielders already deployed to ascertain and control the threat.

Concurrently, the base was at its weakest as the two cornerstones of the branch were at the main branch for the annual gathering. The Vice Branch Director, a woman who wore a Puting Araw uniform and a coat shawling her shoulders, was pacing around in the office of the Branch Director, which was the penthouse at the top.

"Why do I get a bad feeling…" The woman muttered, biting her thumb in anxiety. "Kataas-Taasang Gwardiya and Branch Director is both not here… What am I going to do!?"

As the Vice Branch Director, her responsibilities naturally included taking care of the base whilst both the aegis and director was out. Taking a deep breath, she fished her phone out, "First, let's inform the Branch Director as this is of utmost importance…"

Calling the branch director, she continued biting her thumb. After three rings, a man's voice answered, "What? I'm in the annual gathering you idiot!"

"Umm…." Gulping, the woman s.h.i.+vered. She stuttered, "T-there is an extremely urgent emergency in this branch, sir…"

"Well you go take care of it!" The man scolded, dropping the call without anything at all. Coughing, the Zamboanga Branch Director apologized to Rose. "I am so sorry. It seems that there is an emergency in my branch. Don't worry, Miss Rose, my competent Vice Branch Director would be the one taking care of the branch."

'How come he gets a Vice Branch Director…' Anthony's face twitched, fury bubbling in his heart. 'I wish I have a Vice Branch Director… All I get is a secretary, pweh…'

Back to the Zamboanga Liwayway Hotel Branch, the woman lost it again. "Why did I get to become a Vice Branch Director Anyways? I am a puny Level 3 wielder!"

Fumbling for her phone, she attempted to contact the branch director once more as this matter was not something that an inexperienced Vice Branch Director could possibly handle. She hasn't been in enough crises to take on the burdens of a leaders.h.i.+p position during such a predicament.

At that second, a black portal materialized in front of her, and out came Blood King. "Oho, want to contact your boss, don't we?"

"Don't you dare approach me!" The woman dropped her phone, her gaze becoming sharp. Thereupon, in her hands, a black katana appeared. "I will cut you up with this!"

"Oh, so it's the famed Void Sword Dancer." Blood King was enlightened of the woman's ident.i.ty. "Well, if it was any other time, I would've entertained you… It's unfortunate that this isn't any other time."

Subsequently, Void Sword Dancer vanished from her position, not giving Blood King to ramble any further. Blood King was amused of Void Sword Dancer's actions.

Sighing to himself, he stretched his arm upwards as blood seeped out from his hands, materialized, and halted a black sword, Void Sword Dancer reemerging in his vision.

Leaning in on her, he acted enraged, "That is so rude. I was talking, you know? Why are all people so rude nowadays?"

Saying that, he crushed the black sword with his right. "Well, that's all the time I have for today, so, I guess this is bye-bye."

Wearing a smile, blood seeped out from Blood King's left hand and shaped into a half-moon cleaver. Slicing down, Void Sword Dancer was left with no room to react before she was sliced in half, cleanly.

RWL, Category – Bionics: In the Age of Advancement, the Australian technological company, Zero Point, invented the world's first perfected bionic arm that took the bio-electric signals that comes from the brain onto the arm to allow the arm to move. Its users described it as a miracle, especially since this arm was much stronger that allows them to curl 60 kilograms. In addition, the second versions of the Zero Point bionic arms put in some astounding functions to the arm, such as GPS, sonar, voice-activation, paralytic shock, and many more. Near the end of the Age of Advancement, the Zero Point released another dumbfounding bionic, a perfected bionic eye that allows blind people to see again. All of these are capable of utilizing bio-electricity produced the body and solar energy to charge itself.
