After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 180: The Aegis Conclave
Nina Jacobs didn’t answer her.
Instead, she said to Chester Pearson,
"Continue collecting the supplies here as planned. Don’t let this delay our progress."
Chester Pearson nodded.
’If Nina Jacobs is confident, then we can’t be the ones to hold her back.’
"All units, listen up!
From now on, focus all your efforts on defending against the outsiders. Anyone who tries to stop us from collecting supplies will be killed!"
"Honey Summers,
I was originally thinking of letting it go,
but now, things have suddenly gotten a lot more interesting." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
said the young man who had been silent behind Honey Summers until now.
"You’re right, Frank Lucas. I didn’t expect this either.
It seems I was going too easy on them!"
Bolts of Thunder Element Superpower converged on Nina Jacobs.
A direct hit would mean instant death.
But Nina Jacobs dodged nimbly, even running straight toward Honey Summers.
"Is she crazy?"
Honey Summers frowned.
’This Nina Jacobs girl is surprisingly fast.’
Seeing Nina Jacobs charging at them, accompanied by a scorching Fireball,
Honey Summers and the two behind her had no choice but to temporarily get out of the way.
BANG!
Nina Jacobs didn’t recall the Fireball. Instead, it struck the helicopter behind the trio with immense force.
BOOM!
In an instant, the pink helicopter was engulfed in intense flames.
The force of the Fireball even knocked it several meters away!
"Get back!"
Frank Lucas’s eyes widened as he shouted frantically.
With a deafening explosion,
the helicopter blew to pieces before everyone’s shocked eyes.
The three of them had never imagined Nina Jacobs would just blow up their vehicle.
"Oops, my hand slipped.
How about I compensate you with some Crystal Cores?"
Nina Jacobs stood her ground, shrugging with an innocent look on her face.
"You’re asking to die!
Frank Lucas, let’s get her!"
Seeing the three of them charging toward Nina Jacobs in unison,
a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched Finn Hart’s lips from a short distance away.
Nina Jacobs dodged repeatedly, running toward the exit of the wholesale market.
"Still trying to run?
Let’s see how far you can get!"
Frank Lucas conjured a silver thread—a metal wire—but it missed Nina Jacobs.
"Captain, are you sure we don’t need to help her?"
Yuri Sutton asked.
’Those three seem abnormally strong.’
"I want to,
but Nina Jacobs left us with a mission."
Chester Pearson walked toward Finn Hart, who was standing nearby.
He cracked his knuckles, the sound echoing loudly.
"So you’re the one named Hart?
You look clean on the outside, but you’re filthy on the inside."
Chester Pearson advanced on him step by step.
Behind him was Wayne Warner.
"What do you think you’re doing? This has nothing to do with us!"
Phoebe Vance shouted.
Finn Hart also realized something was wrong.
’Nina Jacobs deliberately provoked those three from the start to lure Honey Summers and her group away.’
"Do you really think,
that Nina Jacobs can defeat all three of them by herself?"
Finn Hart wasn’t worried.
"What do you mean?"
Daniel Hale asked as well.
"Honey Summers... she’s more than just an Intermediate Superpower User."
Finn Hart said with a smile.
...
Meanwhile, Nina Jacobs had already led the trio to an open area.
This was the area outside the seed warehouse she had cleared out the night before.
’This location should be outside the range of Finn Hart’s spiritual power.’
"You did this on purpose, didn’t you?
Luring us all the way out here... was it so they would have time to keep collecting supplies?"
The short-haired girl stared at Nina Jacobs, who had suddenly stopped running.
"Don’t be so naive,
You blew up our ride. The only way to pay for that is with your life.
And as for your friends, they’re all dead today, too."
Honey Summers said.
"The Aegis Conclave... what are you doing in City J?"
Nina Jacobs turned and asked.
Shock appeared on all three of their faces at once.
"You know about The Aegis Conclave?"
"I heard it from Finn Hart."
Nina Jacobs lied casually.
"What’s your relationship with Finn?
Don’t tell me you like him, too?"
Honey Summers asked, immediately on guard.
???
Nina Jacobs’s face was a mask of confusion.
’Is there something wrong with this Honey Summers girl?’
"Enough chit-chat,
Since she claims to be an Intermediate Superpower User, let me test her!"
A barrage of Gold Spikes shot toward Nina Jacobs.
The Gold Spikes Frank Lucas conjured were covered in sharp, serrated edges.
The slightest touch would instantly shred flesh and bone.
But Nina Jacobs managed to dodge them easily every time.
But in the next second, Nina Jacobs froze, standing perfectly still.
It turned out she was now surrounded by a web of silver threads.
"Now let’s see... where would be a good place to start cutting?"
A vicious smile spread across Frank Lucas’s face.
The Gold Spikes were just a diversion to distract Nina Jacobs.
While she was dodging, he had already laid out his threads.
And what he loved most was watching others get sliced into pieces by his creation.
"I can tell you’re not an Intermediate Superpower User yet."
Nina Jacobs glanced at the haphazard silver threads wrapped around her waist and back.
’A real Gold Element trap wouldn’t be this crude.’
With a mere flick of her finger, her Fire Element Superpower spread onto the threads.
"Trying to counter Gold Element with Fire Element?
Do you think..."
Before Frank Lucas could finish, he saw his painstakingly laid trap burn to ashes!
"Frank Lucas!"
As Honey Summers and Quincy Stone cried out in alarm,
a plume of fire suddenly erupted from beneath Frank Lucas’s feet.
"How... is this possible..."
Frank Lucas stared in disbelief at the flames in front of him as searing pain shot through him.
’He... actually fell for her trap?’
Watching Frank Lucas rapidly burn and collapse, the fury of Honey Summers and Quincy Stone reached its peak.
Without another word, they attacked Nina Jacobs from the left and right!
Honey Summers’s Thunder Superpower had formed into a short blade in her hand.
Nina Jacobs didn’t dare underestimate them, as both were strong in close-quarters combat.
Honey Summers also realized that Nina Jacobs was no simple opponent.
It was the Fire Element Superpower she looked down on the most, yet every one of Nina’s moves was lethal.
"Quincy Stone, cut off her escape route!"
Honey Summers commanded.
"Two against one. Don’t you guys have any honor?"
While fending off Quincy Stone’s Wind Element Superpower, Nina Jacobs conjured a Fire Serpent that shot toward Honey Summers!
"A mere Fire Element..."
The short blade in Honey Summers’s hand suddenly extended, slicing the Fire Serpent in two right down the middle!
"Impressive for an Intermediate Thunder Element,
too bad you’re a lovesick fool."
Nina Jacobs controlled the two halves of the Fire Serpent, making them merge back into one.
Sensing the Wind Ball behind her, she sent the roaring Fire Serpent crashing toward Quincy Stone!
"What do you know?!
I’ve loved Finn for so many years!
I wasn’t good enough for him before, but now I’m an Intermediate Superpower User!
He’s finally starting to notice me!
When I, Honey Summers, set my sights on a man, of course I’m going to fight for him myself."
Honey Summers’s heavy makeup was now smudged. She spread her arms, and her Thunder Element Superpower closed in on Nina Jacobs from both sides in a pincer attack!
BANG!
Nina Jacobs quickly leaped from her position.
The Thunder Skill struck the ground, leaving a deep crater.
"You’re being used by him."
After Nina Jacobs spoke, Honey Summers clearly froze for a moment.
Seizing the opportunity, Nina Jacobs shot forward, appearing right in front of Honey Summers.
Just as her kick was about to land, Honey Summers sneered, and an Ice Shield instantly materialized in front of her!
"A Dual Element Superpower User?"
Nina Jacobs was glad she had been on her guard, and she had already put distance between them.
’So Honey Summers is a Dual Element, Thunder and Water.
As for the Ice Element, it must be the result of her absorbing that Mystic Ice Core.’
"You’re not surprised at all?"
Honey Summers conjured several Ice Spikes.
The Ice Spikes were wreathed in Thunder Superpower, but Nina Jacobs’s expression remained unchanged.
It was as if she had seen an Ice Element Superpower many times before.
