Oliver's eyes widened in terror as he watched the claws heading towards his chest. When the claws was only centimeters away from his chest, Oliver moved his body to the side, weaving the slash by a hair length. After dodging the slash, Oliver stretched his right leg forward and sent out a kick towards Dan's stomach. 

PAH!

Dan lifted his left arm, blocking the kick easily and sent out a punch of his own.

"It's time I see what this Sprint Talent really means." Oliver pondered internally. "Activate Sprint!" He called out internally.

[SPRINT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]

Activating the skill, Oliver felt his whole body become light as a feather, and the breeze in the cafeteria felt like it could blow him off. Even the fist heading towards his head seemed to have decreased drastically in pace and was now moving as slow as a tortoise.

Reacting swiftly, Oliver moved to the side and dashed towards Dann who was still moving like a snail, and he sent out a punch of his own towards Dan's right cheek. Dan's eyes widened in shock after watching Oliver weave his punch at an incredible speed and also sent out a punch that was too fast for him to react.

Oliver's fist collided with Dan's right cheek, and the sound of teeth breaking reverberated throughout the cafeteria as Dan was sent sliding across the cafeteria floor, until his body finally hit the wall and he passed out.

The whole crowd's eyes widened in shock after witnessing the impossible scene that just played out right in front of them. The boy they all deemed as trash knocking out two high ranked Talent users without breaking a sweat.

Oliver stood there proudly before shifting his gaze towards Christopher who still sat there with a look of disbelief etched on his face. Christopher rose from where he sat and stepped forward.

"I see you've grown wings, eh?" Christopher blurted out as he walked forward with his face bright red in anger. "You dare lay your fingers on my friends? You are going to die!" Christopher spat as he stretched his right hand to the side, repelling a metallic chair towards his side and sent it towards Oliver, using his telekinesis ability.

The chair traveled through the air at a tremendous speed as it headed towards Oliver. Before the chair cold get close, Oliver leaped into the air and delivered a kick towards the incoming chair and knocked it down to the floor. 

Oliver landed back on the ground,and before he could catch his breath he caught sight of three more chairs heading towards him. This time he charged towards the incoming chairs, and when they were only centimeters away from him, he clenched his right fist tightly and punched it out towards the incoming chairs.

BAM!

His fist slammed heavily onto the chairs,and the force behind the punch sent the chairs back to the sender. Christopher's eyes widened in shock as he saw his own attack being sent back to him, and in the last second he was able to slow down the pace with his Talent and sent it back to Oliver.

Oliver repeated his actions and punched the chairs back, Christopher also did the same and sent it back. The chairs kept going back and forth, and anyone who just stepped into the cafeteria would think they are playing a tennis match. 

"Enough of this crap." Oliver said internally as he clenched his fist tightly, and his bones could be seen popping out with so much hatred. He then punched it forward and it struck the chairs really heard, causing it to fly back towards Christopher in a pace that was times two faster than the previous one.

Christopher who didn't expect expect such a speed, had no time to dodge. The chairs crashed against him and sent him flying backwards until his back hit the wall and he fell.

Christopher swiftly got back on his feet and regained composure instantly.

"What's with this trash? Where did he suddenly get so much power?" Christopher pondered internally in disbelief as he had his gaze fixed on Oliver. "Isn't he the same trash? Why does he give me chills?"

Christopher stood there in contemplation before leaning down beside Dan and touched his body. He also touched the body of Ken and rose back up.

"I don't know how you are able to do what you are doing right now, but all I know is that your little luck has run out, and now it's time for you to pay!." Christopher voiced out before shifting his gaze towards his two friends that laid down unconscious before charging in once more.

Oliver swiftly got in a fighting stance as he watched Christopher charge towards him in a fast pace, and in less than a second he arrived in striking distance and punched out his clenched fists together.

Oliver watched the fists heading towards him at insane speed,and in the last second he ducked low, dodging the punches by a hair length. Before Oliver could regain composure,  Christopher, sent out a kick towards Oliver's chest.

Oliver who hadn't expected the kick,had no time to block. The kick connected neatly to his chest and sent him flying backwards and rolling on the floor.

"Aahhhh!!!" Christopher made a battle cry as he began to dash towards Oliver would still struggled to stand on the edge of the rooftop,and his only goal was to kick him off completely. Christopher arrived in striking distance and he raised his right leg and sent out a kick towards Oliver's head.

Oliver split his legs and and went low, dodging the kick completely. Before Christopher could retrieve his outstretched leg, Oliver stretched his right leg forward and kicked Christopher's last leg, making him lose balance and began to stumble.

Christopher stumbled for a few seconds, and when he was about to regain balance, Oliver struck him with a round house kick that connected neatly with his head and made him lose balance once more and fell.

In a blink of an eye, he regained composure.

"You really think you can take me out just like that?" Christopher questioned with a huge grin on his face. 

"How?" Oliver questioned with a slight look of confusion.

"If i told you my secret technique it won't be such a big secret anymore would it?" Christopher spoke up with a smirk. It seemed like Christopher was the mouth of the whole brothers since he has been the one doing the talking this whole time while the remaining two just remain mute.

"You guys have made me pass through hell day in and day out. That ends today!!" Oliver muttered as he got in a fighting stance, gesturing to the group to come at him.

    Inside, the alien black coin was resting quietly. It glowed faintly. Oliver picked up the coin with his black metal right hand. The coin and his hand were made of the exact same dark magic. When they touched, they synced perfectly. The purple light brightened.Oliver felt a rush of cold, dark data flow up his arm. It did not hurt anymore. It felt powerful."The Overlord is watching the neighbor planets," Oliver whispered to himself. "I must inform the Council."Oliver walked to the back of the room. He approached the large, secure quantum communication terminal. This was the machine that could talk across the universe, reaching the core worlds of humanity.Oliver pressed his metal hand against the scanner. The machine hummed loudly. VMMMMMM.A brilliant, liquid silver light exploded in the center of the room. The post-singularity glow illuminated the broken walls of the city hall. It was a beautiful, pure human technology.Three giant faces appeared in the silver light. The Travele

    "What are the Wraithborn doing?" Oliver asked. This was the most important question. Oliver watched Billy's face closely.Billy frowned. He pulled up a new graph. It showed red lines measuring enemy magic."This is the strange part, boss," Billy said. He scratched his messy hair. "The Wraithborn energy readings on our surface are dropping. They are getting weaker."Captain Ren, who had just walked into the room, gasped. "Are they retreating? Did you scare them away, Commander?""The Overlord does not feel fear," Oliver said coldly. "If his energy is dropping here, it means he is moving it somewhere else. Billy. Scan the adjacent sectors. Scan Delta-9 and Echo-4."Billy typed furiously. A larger map of the solar system appeared.The planets Delta-9 and Echo-4 were still floating near Sigma-12 in the purple Rift space.Billy gasped. "You are right, boss. The enemy energy is spiking on the neighbor planets. It is growing massively. Millions of new monsters are appearing in the dark space

    The red screens in the underground bunker glowed like fresh blood. The heavy steel walls shook. The terrible, deep voice of the Overlord echoed through the hidden speakers. The monster was not in the room, but his mind was in the computer. He had followed the alien black coin in Commander Oliver’s hand."Your perfect math... belongs to me now," the Overlord laughed.The twenty-two miners screamed. Young Sam covered his ears and fell to the floor. Captain Ren raised her plasma rifle, but she did not know what to shoot. There was nothing to shoot. The enemy was inside the wires.Captain Iris backed away from the red screens. "Oliver! You brought him inside! The bunker is compromised!"Oliver stood in the center of the white room. He did not panic. He did not drop the coin. He looked at the red screens. He analyzed the data."The Overlord is broadcasting his consciousness through the Key of Echoes," Oliver stated calmly. "He is using the coin as a wireless bridge. He is hacking the loca

    The sixty soldiers quietly raised their guns. They aimed at the blank, solid stone walls exactly where Oliver told them to aim.The terrified miners in the middle of the group did not know what was happening. They just kept walking up the ramp."Fire in three," Oliver counted down perfectly. "Two. One. Execute."KABOOOOOM!Sixty heavy plasma rifles fired at the exact same millisecond.The bright blue lasers blasted into the solid stone walls. The heat melted the rock instantly.Terrible, high-pitched screams erupted from inside the walls. SCREEEEECH!The human soldiers had shot the Wraithborn monsters before the monsters even knew they were seen. Dozens of hidden Acid-Crawlers and Phase Sentries were burned to ash inside their own hiding spots. Black smoke poured out of the melted holes in the rock."Reload," Oliver commanded cleanly. "Target sector four. Aim up at a thirty-degree angle. Fire."BANG! BANG! BANG!The soldiers fired again. More hidden monsters died inside the ceiling.

    "It is a tactical advantage," Oliver said. He closed his metal fingers slightly to dim the light. "The hidden ladder is blocked. The Overlord knows we are here. We cannot use the standard paths.""Then how do we escape?" a miner asked, crying. "We are trapped miles underground!""We will not be trapped," Oliver said smoothly. "I have mapped the entire subterranean network. I have located a secondary route. I call it the Spiral Ascendant. It is an old, natural fault line that leads directly to the lowest level of the city’s civilian bunkers."Lira floated down from the ceiling. She hovered next to Oliver’s ear."The Spiral Ascendant is highly unstable, Oliver," Lira whispered. "The Rift magic is boiling the rock there. If you take these fragile humans through that path, the floor will collapse. They will fall into the magma."Oliver did not look at the ghost. He looked at Captain Ren."Captain Ren," Oliver ordered. "Do you have portable Anchor-stabilizers in your supply packs?"Ren nod
