Kill the Sun - Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Chapter 366 – Silk

Nick's ability was still inactive since he was currently in physical contact with the Specter, but that didn't matter.

His blades activated, and Nick punched forward.

BOOOM!

Nick's blade and fists buried into the ground.

Just now, Nick had attacked the Specter's neck, and he was certain that he had just decapitated it, which had been his goal.

Naturally, Nick didn't want to kill the Specter, but something like that wouldn't kill one.

BANG!

Nick felt something hit his side.

With his superior reaction speed, Nick managed to grab the appendage, which could barely move inside his grip.

CRKSH!

Nick used his blade and cut off the base of the appendage, throwing it to the side.

Since Nick's body was a lot more powerful, the Specter could barely do anything to defend itself.

It could hit and injure Nick, but every time it hit its opponent, it would lose one of its appendages.

After getting rid of another three appendages, Nick grabbed the body of his opponent and rammed it against the wall with a lot of force.

"SUBMIT OR DIE!" Nick shouted.

Not waiting for an answer, Nick immediately threw the Specter onto the ground again, putting his foot on what he thought was its torso.

Then, he waited.

Every second, Nick felt like he was being torn apart.

However, he didn't feel any physical impact, even though the enemy should still have a couple of limbs left.

'It gave up,' Nick thought.

Then, Nick searched for the black sphere, which should be Petra.

He found it quickly and felt how soft but firm it was.

It was probably spider silk.

Nick tore it apart and activated a slight bit of his light.

At that moment, he could see his surroundings again.

The Specter was missing its head and half of its limbs, and it was currently lying on the ground, unmoving.

Nick could also see Petra through the opening he had created.

She was unconscious.

She had most likely run out of Zephyx, which had knocked her unconscious.

Nick had never seen these kinds of lights before since Solace's lights seemed very friendly and warm.

But these lights seemed artificial and sterile.

'But how?' Nick thought. 'These kinds of artificial lights shouldn't work against the Nightmare's influence.'

'And yet, I feel no Zephyx coming from that light, but it still managed to stop the Nightmare for just a moment.'

'I have to know what's going on here.'

Nick started to tear even more silk off the wall.

When his hands came into contact with the wall behind the silk, Nick realized something.

'That's metal, not stone!'

Then, Nick made a decision.

BOOOOM!

He activated his blades again and attacked the wall.

All of Nick's blade sunk into the wall, but it still didn't reach the other side.

This wall was extremely thick!

The next moment, the Nightmare's influence vanished again as the red light started to become bright and constant.

At the same time, an ear-grating alarm rang out.

With the brighter light, Nick could finally see what was in front of him.

A steel door.

The light came from above the door.

'A ruin?' Nick thought.

Nick narrowed his eyes.

He had never come into contact with a ruin before.

It was no secret that there were many ruins all over the world from lost civilizations, but Nick had never seen one.

Aegis was very careful about these ruins, and any information on past civilizations was kept highly confidential.

Most likely, Aegis hadn't found this ruin yet.

Naturally, Nick was very interested.

'But I can't enter right now,' he thought as he looked at the Specter and Petra.

'I have to bring these two back to the group first.'

Nick looked one last time at the steel door before walking away.

He would bring the Specter and Petra to the group, and then, he would take a look at this ruin.
