<h4>Chapter 571: Earth: The Power Of An Esper</h4>
-----
Lucia''s hands pointed at a guard holding a gun and shooting bullets at her.
Her eyes zed with bright red and orange color, as arge quantity of psionic energies suddenly gathered around her entire body,ing directly from her mind.
The energies gathered into her hands, as an explosion of mes emerged, spiraling through and melting even the bullets flying towards her, shing against the guard, and impacting him with a great force!
BOOM!
"Guuaaggh…!"
The guard was consumed by the mes as they easily pierced through his bulletproof best and began to burn him alive, he screams stopped after a few seconds due to the suffocation he felt, which killed him before the mes could.
Bang! Bang!
Meanwhile, Chris and his group shoot down another squadron of guards in the building, they had special bullets made by the association that were made to pierce through bulletproof vests, although they were very heavy and expensive, there was no point in saving expenses for a mission that could save humanity from an imminent apocalypse…
"Clear! Move!" said Chris.
The group quickly moved through the corridors of the building, as they quickly came across another door, it was sealed.
"The door''s sealed!"
"Use the hacking device to open it."
Chris gave an order as a man moved towards the door and then took out what seemed to be a white-colored gun, when he pressed a red button on it, a slight shockwave of electricity came out, which suddenly made the system of the door malfunction, and it opened.
CLASH!
"Open! Move!" said Chris.
Lucia looked at the scene in awe, she had never seen such an item before, but they were certainly a real device, made using the power of Espers, it was capable of exuding psionic energy that disrupted technological items. It worked well against things that were often sealed, forcefully opening them.
"Chris! Are we going to just fight soldiers? I am not even needed here." Said Lucia rather bored, as she moved near Chris.
"Take this mission seriously Lucia, don''t get distracted, you''ll see why we brought you here… Ah, there they are." Said Chris.
He quickly stopped his troops as a few of them ended advancing more by ident, only to be caught off guard by a strange group of creatures!
"Wait! Don''t move! Come back! Don''t engage on them at close range!"
Chris began to shoot down the beasts that had emerged, hiding beneath the shadows, however, their fleshy tentacles caught the two soldiers!
"Gyaaaaahhh! Help!"
"W-What is thisssss?!"
"GROOOARR!"
A massive amorphous jaw filled with enormous sharp teeth suddenly coiled around one of the soldiers, crushing him into pieces and devouring him alive!
The other had a worse faith as a sharp needle-like proboscis suddenly pierced his chest and began to drain him dry of all his blood and nutrients, only leaving a dried corpse behind!
"D-Damn it!" muttered Chris, as his soldiers quickly opened distance from him, but hesitated to shoot because theirrades were caught by them, and they were not capable ofpletely seeing what had happened there.
Lucia''s eyes, which had psionic power and could see easily even in the darkness, realized what had happened. Amorphous beasts she had only seen in pictures showed up, greatly surprising her.
These monsters were not normal, they were not just wild beasts that were taken overusing devices or gic engineering, these were monsters, manmade horrors beyondprehension.
They mildly resembled humans, and only mildly, their bodies were disfigured, as if countless cancerous tumors grew all over them, they had disgusting tentacles growing over them, some even had long and piercing proboscis over their bodies to suck blood, some had gigantic vertical jaws to hug and devour anything that got closer, and more…
"These… these are the things you have to fight; these are the things that you were brought here for!" said Chris to Lucia.
The red-headed woman looked at the scene with great surprise, as she squinted her eyes… her entire body was engulfed on mes.
"Bullets don''t seem to work on them, they absorb them like sponges!" said a soldier.
"What do we do? Do we use the explosive grenade?" asked another.
"No, let me handle this." said Lucia, the valiant woman walked in front as the monstrous beings rushed towards her, their fleshy, red-colored tentacles almost reaching her body!
"I''ll turn all of you into ashes."
FLAAAASH!
Her entire body exuded a powerful zing explosion. Her mes continued to move forward, absorbing the oxygen of the environment, and gaining even more power.
BOOOOMMM!!!
The mes suddenly impacted the group of monsters, the aberrations screams resonated around the entire building as it shook to the mes.
The soldiers covered themselves from the mes as Chris looked at the scene, the woman in front of him could very much take down entire armies…
"So this is the power of an Esper…" he said.
"GRYYYEEEHHHH…"
The screams of agony of the beasts, their screeching sounds that pierced the ears were suddenly turned off as everyst one of them ended into charred and grilled corpses,pletely turned ck…
Lucia didn''t stopped until she confirmed they were dead, but quickly after, she sighed in relief and fell to her knees.
"Ugh…"
"Ah! Are you okay?"
Chris rushed at her side, helping her stand up again.
"Yeah… I just get a headache…" she sighed.
"Your… nose…" said Chris.
He quickly noticed that the girl''s nose was bleeding intensively, an after effect of using a lot of mind strength and psionic energy, which also came apanied by a strong headache.
"Agh… This is nothing, I am used to the pain by now." She said.
She quickly took out a pill from her pocket and swallowed it, it was a drug that ceased the pain in her brain and calmed her down, something that even provoked an addiction, but it was the only way for her to use her powers without suffering so much from its aftereffects.
Chris squinted his eyes… What have the Organization forced this girl to go through to be used to "the pain"?
