Chapter 137 Shut Him Up
As a Level 6 esper, Gary could naturally discern Arnold's level. When he saw that the other party was only a Level 2, his eyes were filled with disdain. He knew that as a Level 6 esper, he could easily defeat a Level 2 esper.
So Gary looked at Arnold contemptuously and said, "A puny ant like you isn't worth my time." With that, he waved his hand, and a woman dressed in a black robe emerged from behind him. The woman had an extremely slender figure, and her narrow eyes were just like Gary's. However, the light in her eyes was not only cold but also carried a hint of charm. The woman walked slowly towards Gary with a respectful expression on her face.
"Rosa, I leave this guy to you. Don't disappoint me," Gary said, and the snake on his shoulder immediately emitted a piercing sound when it stared at Arnold.
"Don't worry, master. I will offer his flesh to the snake spirit," Rosa said in a deep voice, then lifted her head to look at Arnold across from her.
At this moment, Arnold had completely revealed his werewolf form, with muscular and powerful limbs like a dragon and wolf claws that resembled steel blades. There was even a wild wolf's aura emanating from his body.
However, Rosa, like Gary, didn't pay any attention to him. She extended her pale and slender finger, casually brushing her hair aside, and walked step by step towards Arnold.
David was also captivated by this woman named Rosa. Judging from the aura emanating from her, David deduced that she was a Level 4 awakened esper. The aura she emitted was just as cold and ferocious as Gary's, like a venomous snake in the wilderness preparing to capture its prey.
This made David immediately understand. Rosa should be Gary's disciple, and both of them awakened snake-type abilities. He immediately became worried about Arnold. Although Arnold's strength and speed were top-notch, the level suppression doomed him to be unable to defeat Rosa. Seeing her casual demeanor, David's eyebrows furrowed.
Meanwhile, Rosa continued to approach Arnold, her fingers twirling her hair. Observing Arnold's arrogant appearance, he roared and charged at her. David was about to intervene, but he realized that Arnold had already rushed in front of Rosa.
As Arnold lunged towards her, Rosa's lips curled into a cold smile. She raised her right hand, and her large sleeve fluttered, emitting a faint black aura. This aura was particularly eerie, as if it had a spiritual connection, directly rushing towards Arnold.
"Oh no! It's toxic gas!" David became instantly nervous when he saw the black aura.
However, Arnold seemed to completely disregard the toxic gas and still intended to rely on his speed and strength to confront Rosa head-on. He continued to advance, and the toxic gas surrounded his entire being.
In an instant, Arnold felt the toxic gas entering his body through his seven orifices. Once inside, the gas began to rampage wildly, flowing through his meridians. With each passage, an unbearable stinging sensation coursed through him.
This surprised Arnold, and his speed began to slow down. However, the toxic gas in his body showed no mercy. Soon, his body started to numb, and finally, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
The entire process took less than three minutes, and Arnold was defeated by Rosa. This instantly shocked the members of the Embers Squad! They never expected Arnold to be defeated so quickly by a woman. Moreover, Arnold didn't even have a chance to approach her before she knocked him down with a single move.
Although Arnold is only a Level 2, his strength and speed are excellent. Even some Level 3 awakened individuals cannot gain any advantage against him. That's why he rushed towards Rosa without hesitation earlier.
At the same time, Charles quickly rushed over to rescue Arnold, and then Sophie directly activated Stellar healing. Instantly, a shimmering power of stars emerged from the void and enveloped Arnold entirely. Seeing Arnold already affected by the poison, Rosa smiled faintly, and her contemptuous expression on her face grew stronger.
"Hahaha! Well done, my proudest disciple!" Gary applauded from behind, and the little snake on his shoulder let out a piercing hiss. Meanwhile, his triangular eyes looked at Arnold, revealing a hint of eager greed.
Seeing Arnold being knocked down so quickly, Dirk's face instantly showed excitement. He proudly looked at David and said, "Kid, do you understand the power of our Rat Clan now? While our boss is still calm, hand over everything to me quickly! Otherwise, your fate will be the same as his!"
With that, Dirk once again reached for the worn-out revolver at his waist. Then he raised his head leisurely and said to David again, "You think you're so tough? Scaring me with a heavy machine gun? Try scaring me again. If I get serious, not only you but everyone here will obediently die!"
As he spoke, Dirk straightened his back and kept playing with the revolver in his hand, as if he could shoot a bullet at David at any moment. David, who was pondering about the opponent's true strength, found Dirk's voice rather noisy. His brows furrowed tightly as he said to Duke, "Make him shut up!"
Duke understood David's intention, and since Arnold was defeated and unconscious, he was particularly angry. The lights in the underground parking lot happened to hang above Dirk's head, casting his shadow on the ground. Without hesitation, Duke reached out his hand towards Dirk and his eyes showed a thick murderous intent. "Shut your mouth!"
As Duke spoke, and palm clenched tightly! Dirk, who stood in place, felt as if his body was being squeezed between two oncoming trains. Invisibly, a powerful pressure suddenly appeared, making it impossible for him to breathe. Then his body was forcefully compressed by this invisible pressure, and a mouthful of blood instantly sprayed from his mouth. Soon, he collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Witnessing this, the several men behind Gary were instantly stunned, wearing a bewildered expression, not knowing what had just happened. But suddenly remembering that David told them to shut up earlier, they quickly covered their mouths with their hands, afraid that they might end up lying here next.
