《Second Echo》Chapter 11: Ryker's Ability

Here like I promised releasing this more!
Punch after punch I watched as Leo steamrolled right through the zombie monsters. He didn't even worry about going behind enemy lines and rushed in a straight path as he punched her way through the monsters.
"What a badass, stealing all the limelight even I can't help but be slightly jealous."
I couldn't help but unconsciously let out these words, I mean I was still a guy right and even I had times I wanted to look cool and at this moment Leo was definitely cool. Although it was a dramatic and terrifying situation watching Leo, everyone was able to somewhat gain courage. Even the girls who were crying non stop, at the sight of Leo decimating his enemies allowed them to gain their courage.
Following straight after Leo, the jocks rushed in to fill in the gaps. As Leo was only one person he could only hold off, or destroy so many zombies at once. Thus with an army of them and the amount of doors breaking open, that allowed more to flood the center, it became harder and harder for the jocks to hold them down.
Of course it was then, when the zombies numbers became greater than the jocks that problems started to happen. With the increasing number of monsters their claws finally managed to reach their targets as the jocks started to be scrapped with giant slashes on their chest areas or arms. Even with the body gear from football or hockey that they were wearing was unable to even book them for a second.
The only thing that the jocks were fortunate for was their [Body Enhancement] abilities they received. Although I couldn't tell the exact amount of strength behind those slashes I knew from the shocked expressions of the jocks and the bleeding bodies that they were clearly not as weak as I originally had thought. Which to say the least was an absolute awful thing! If these monsters were stronger that just meant the time we could hold up would be incredibly shorter than I had originally thought. Without worrying about the jocks I shouted out too Sasha not caring for whether or not people knew I was giving out commands our not!
"Sasha Hurry the fuck up!"

"What!? Do you have eyes!? Does it not look like we are working as hard as we can!?
"....Well duh but that's not the fucking problem here!"
"Well yeah it is!"
"No the problem is if you don't hurry these meatshields won't hold out for any longer!"
"Already?!"
"THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING SO HURRY UP!"
"Okay okay jeez."
At the back and forth conversation naturally everyone other than the too busy fighting jocks were able to hear us. Clearly some of the smarter ones were able to put two and two together and realized that I had come up with the strategy. However even if they did along with oblivious ones simply kept working, as even they were not stupid enough to stop their duties. Completing their job meant life while the other option available was naturally something they didn't want to experience and thus they could only concentrate to their limits and use their [Aether Mana] as fast as possible!
I noticed with their increase in speed that their faces started to sweat profusely, as I haven't used my own ability before I had no idea what it was like to over strain my mana usage. At the same time however it wasn't like we had an option as I turned around and saw the jocks slowly moving backwards as they tried to drag their injured comrades back away from the zombie like monsters.
I saw the fear deep within their eyes, and sighed within my mind.
‘It's clear that these guys will be useless in the future.'
Although they had Leo to lead the front without ever standing in the front themselves, they clearly would make no attempt to save others lives and run at the first sign of danger. These were the people who I distrusted the most! How could I let such people protect the front lines? They would crumble easily if they thought they would lose their lives just like now! No one had lost their lives as of yet and their injuries were only skin deep but they had already turned tail and started to flee!
Only Leo was still deep in enemy lines thrashing his way through the group, it was almost hard to even see him at this point as the amount of monsters flooding him! Although the plans might not be ready I wasn't about to sacrifice my best friend the lives of people I didn't even care about and I shouted out to him.

"Leo get back here!"
"I can hold!"
A flustered shout followed after. I could hear the strain behind the voice, as I knew how hard it was to keep fighting while speaking was. Although I had no time to worry about whether he wanted to play hero and shouted at the top of my lungs while I ran towards him. I wasn't sure what my ability did exactly but now wasn't the time to worry about such things. I concentrated the [Aether particles] from my organ, as a warm feeling emerged from the center of my chest it started to flow from my chest through my arm finally reaching my finger tips. When it reached my fingertips I could feel an electrifying sensation as the energy started to condense. As the condensation grew the purple ball started to appear larger and larger. Finally it was the size of a baseball in which I didn't spend any time pondering about the feeling nor the colour, I threw it with all my might into the group of monsters farther behind Leo. Without waiting for a reaction I yelled towards Leo one again.
"Leo get over here!"
"Fine!"
At this point even Leo knew he could no longer hold on, although he had no idea I had thrown my [Void Ball] he came plowing through the zombie monsters, and it was then that I finally realized how bad his condition was. He was covered head to toe in blood, and although I say covered it was mainly that only a few parts of his white skin could be seen. EVen his face had claw marks across his cheeks and the once chest gear he had worn was no longer visible as his upper body had only scraps of clothing. Of course if his face was even clawed his upper body was in far worse condition as even some stab wounds could be seen bleeding profusely!
"Damnit Leo! Don't be a hero alone!
As i reprimanded him at the same time I grabbed his arm and helped walk towards where my strategy was being made up. He didn't resist and readily allowed my help as he limped together with me. Although it took awhile, after Leo's final charge he rushed back through and knocked down all the monsters on the way thus even though they were incredibly agile they were somewhat weak to blows and took awhile to recover. But all the while I was thinking why hadn't my [Void Ball] gone off. I was actually somewhat pissed as I couldn't help but think was my ability some sort of did? Did it need a trigger word? AS I thought about this I thought in my mind.
‘Explode? No? Ummm Blast!? Go?! Destroy!? Friggin Blow up?! Release?!'
"Why doesn't it work!?"
As I screamed my lungs out in frustration it was then that finally a reaction occurred. As a deep purple light filled the entire center we were entirely blinded by the light and although I had no idea what was happening after the light had bombarded my eyes I could feel an attachment to that light or at the very least where I had thrown my [Void Ball]. After a short blink the light was gone and what happened next surprised to he point of stupefaction!
The light that had swept the entire area was reabsorbed to its origin and that I realized was the [Void ball]! As the light condensed the ball finally reacted and expanded outwards a terrifying rate, and although the monsters didn't know what was happening they felt a hint of fear from that ball and started to retreat. However at this point it was already too late as that purple ball expanded completely absorbing them! After the ball grew to a diameter of about 5 meter it's stopped! And just as fast as it had expanded it shrunk and soon disappeared in nothing! But that wasn't the only thing that turned into nothing, as everything the ball had come into contact with had also disappeared! The monsters? Gone! The concrete, flooring, doorway? All gone and there was a crater where the ball had been! It was something that I could only awkwardly stare at and it was then that a shout awoke me from my stupor!
"Ryker! Get over here while you have the chance!"
