A/N: Hi hi, minna! Ten chapters and counting!

Chapter 50 – Love Explosion

The attack was blocked. But Rick didn’t understand why. The silver lady wasn’t there nor had any wall been made. It could be invisible, but there was a barrier.
In front of him, the silver lady appeared. Soon, the two of them restarted the attacks at each other, before Rick could gaze at Sloan.
The enemy was now staring at Cassey, unsure of what to do. Noticing his look, she ran into the woods and grabbed a long stick. She turned at him once more, grabbing it just like a sword.
“So, now you’ve adopted Flaim’s style…” he grinned and stepped towards her. When he was just a few steps away, she stroke. Like Rick, her attack was blocked by some invisible wall, but Sloan also kicked her in her back, bringing her to the ground. Rick didn’t notice the scene, as he was still sparring with the silver lady, but Cassey’s intention wasn’t catch his intention, but to buy time. Ignoring Sloan’s steps towards her, Cassey closed her eyes and grabbed her pendant in her hands.
Annya’s job wasn’t easy at all. Grabbing Sheila in a bubble was easy, but keeping her there, plus keeping an eye on the entire battlefield was not easy at all. Sheila had an amazing potential and, the much she stayed there, the more motivation she could gather.
Fred and Ashley were some metres away, grabbing Elain. She could barely talk and Fred, inside his robot, could not stop his anger. Why had she done that? Why had she tried to kill him?
As she seemed she had read his thoughts, she tried to answer.
“Spe…” she couldn’t say it.
Her body reacted without any order from herself. She, profiting a moment of distraction, grabbed one of her arrows and tried to damage Fred’s robot. Since it hadn’t been used for a long time, his robot wasn’t damaged, so she did not destroy it at all. Her body then jumped to stay a few metres away from him.
“Stupid! I’m under a…”
‘Kill him.’
Another arrow was put in the bow. But before she could the arrow let go, Annya noticed what she was doing and prepared a blast of energy. When Elain noticed what was going towards her, it was too late. She just let go the arrow and bow and prepared herself for the impact. However, she was pushed away by a saviour hand.
As she landed in the ground, she turned backwards and saw his saviour’s robot burned. Fred quickly got out of the robot and, grabbing Elain in his hands, ran as fast as he could. However, he was caught in the explosion and still rolled a few times, still grabbing Elain close to him.
“Are you okay?” he tried to smile but the pain would not let him.
She looked at him clueless. How could he smile?
“I swore I would protect you, remember?”
She burst into tears and stayed in his arms for a long time. He didn’t mind if she could kill him in one second, he wouldn’t trade that moment for anything.
Due to the explosion, Ashley was hurt as well. But noticing Elain was under Fred’s “control”, she decided to help Mike. Their fight wasn’t going too bad either, as Matt hadn’t attacked one single time due to all his dodging from Horous’s attacks. The problem was that they could not hit him either.
As Matt approached some mountains, Mike profited it. Mentally, he ordered Horous to attack him by destroying the rocky surface, so that Matt would get hit. Without hesitating, Horous did so, and indeed, it worked, as Matt could not be seen. When they thought they had won, Matt reappeared, without a single scratch and removing the dust from his clothes.
“How did you…”
He looked surprised at them.
“You mean you haven’t noticed? I have a barrier, just like Sloan.”
