Roman commanded his men to attack the three boys. Adam melted himself and got away. Nanjo who already knew this would happen used his clone beforehand. This leave Aizen who was all alone. Here I thought those three were buddies. How can they just leave their own friend?

“Those jerks.” Aizen curses them as he started to be drenched in sweat.

In that instances, my team break the wall in front of us with the help of Rider who was already in his Beetle Armor. With just a short command, “Clock in”. Rider went in and helped Aizen in supersonic speed. Rider’s Clock In seems to make everything around him slow down. His armour may have the same properties as my own time magic. In this case, he slows the time around him and helped Aizen before he got hurt by Dark Diablo members.

Roman was surprised and looked around the compound, “What was that?”

Rider stopped at the entrance of the factory and announced himself, “We are a Group called Stardust. Prepare to be annihilated by us.

“Annihilated? Please.” Roman laughed along with his other fellow henchmen.

“What are you doing here, idiot?” Aizen struggles as he was carried by Rider who just saved him with his Clock In.

Then just at the sliver of moment, Blax team reveals themselves and attacked them from behind. Blax summons his gigantic sword that he kept inside his Dimensional Bank and begins to swing it around the enemy. The minions barely manage to survive Blax’s onslaught. Blax’s Super Strength enables him to carry that huge sword. I didn’t know that Blax was a capable swordsman as well. Before this he was only fighting with his fist.

Around the same time as well, Lore with his Reflect Mode activated, signals Kaym to jump on his shield. Kaym jumps on it and used his Devil Trigger to transform. He made a huge hole on the ground along with some Dark Diablo members under it.

“Nice assist, Lore!” Kaym complimented Lore as he used his tail to sweep down a few Dark Diablo members.

Roman was then protected by a protective spell that was probably used by his men who has the Wall ability. Wall was one of the common ability a wizard could end up. It was basically a magic that creates any form of protection aura. The stronger the wizard the harder the Wall.

“Protect Roman at all cost! We gotta make him look strong!” said one Dark Diablo member as he continues to protect Roman with his Wall magic.

Airi then initiates his ability by using some metallic parts in the factory and used it against them. Haz also joined in and reanimated the whole factory. He made the whole factory running as if they were in peak hours of work. The conveyor belt moved. The machinery moved.

Haz used his spare Infinibot and transformed it into a hammer. He swings the hammer to an enemy. The enemy was then sent to the conveyor belt and was manufactured by the factory machine. He wasn’t dead but he was totally out of it after getting into that machine that even I couldn’t tell what it was.

Afterwards, the roof was in holes thanks to Rulend’s team who came in like a SWAT team like those in the television these days. With his Investigation ability, Rulend can figure where to strike an enemy efficiently. He knows their physical weakness based on his tremendous observation. He blocks a chop and counters it with a left hook to the jaw and continued with a knee to the face and finishes it with a big fist to the left side of the face.

For someone who doesn’t really have a big body, able to beat those punk just by knowing where to strike without much effort at all. It was as if there was an indicator that shows where to attack. Under the elbow? near the rib cage? or even right between both ears like how I did back when I was helping out Cyclone Flash.

Zone along with his Cheat, casually walks towards the enemies and simply touched them to make them all suffer mentally. Zone can cause disruption to anyone who has a weak control over their mind. In this case, Zone might have activated a traumatic seizure to his target.

Meanwhile, Hosuke finally showcased his ability to me. He jumped on an enemy and touches his foe's body then stopped his blood from flowing. Hosuke’s water manipulation is simple. He can manipulate any liquid, even a human blood. If he was ruthless, he may just take out all of that blood and use it as his own arsenal. But since we don’t want to cause casualty, he just made sure the enemy was out cold by temporarily stopping their blood from flowing. Hosuke’s ability can be very vicious if it was in the wrong hands.

Meanwhile, all I did was dodging all the enemies attack and used my increased time limit which was 1.5 second to attack back at my foe. It was good but not perfect because I can only fight one person. Unlike the others, they can fight multiple people with their ranged magic. I was kind of jealous how even Rulend can take down at least 2 or 3 opponents in one go. I wish I could do that back then.

I’ve trained even harder than when I was training with Kaym, Lore and Rider just to get that additional 0.3 seconds. I guess it will just keep getting harder if I want it to be longer. Haz said that I can make my time stop longer by increasing my Infinitum capacity. He also said that I have to keep using it until I got used to it. Basically, I just have to work harder if I want to stay longer in the time pause.

Rider’s Clock In slowed time while I stopped it. But he can slow it down for a very long time unlike mine. I think I should try to ask Rider on how it feels to slow time. I was hoping I should have that kind of ability. Maybe my body was not ready yet back then.

We fought Dark Diablo with all our strength. Meanwhile, The Magnificent Three watched us from outside the factory.

“Look at them” said Nanjo.

Aizen then crosses his arm and said, “So he did came.”

“No. He came to take our glory. We must not stand to this!” Nanjo couldn’t accept the fact that The Magnificent Three looked weak.

“Let’s fight!” Adam suggested them.

Nanjo laughed and suggested, “Let’s attack their leader first! That will help our grade!”

Adam mixed with the concrete under him and appeared behind Roman’s men who uses the Wall ability. He beat them up. This made Roman’s protective wall disappear. Aizen threw some rocks to the waves of enemy to make way for Nanjo’s clone to close in to Roman’s position. Just as Nanjo’s clone was about to attack Roman, he disappeared.

“What?” Nanjo was surprised.

Nanjo then saw Roman was floating in the air.

“You think I’m just another human? I’m a Superhuman!” Roman exclaimed.

Roman then appeared behind Nanjo and punched him. Nanjo was sent flying away from the factory outside wall. His punch was so hard that he even made a hole on the factory wall from that punch. Aizen was furious and threw multiple rocks at Roman but Roman’s eyes suddenly glows red and begins to shoots out laser beam out of it. He shot those rocks and turn it into dust.

“Don’t you know me? I’m Roman, The Superhuman!” Roman announced himself.

Watching all of this, I asked Rulend, “Rulend, do you know what he is talking about?”

Rulend explained, “So he is the infamous Superhuman. His ability is called Inhuman and he has outstanding strength, he can shoot laser beams and freeze his opponent with a blow. He is similar to that one super hero in the comic book.”

I replied, “Does that mean he has a weakness?”

Rulend then responded, “I’m not sure but where can we even fine such rock in this world?”

“You are right. There must be something we can do to defeat him.” I said that as I observed Roman.

Rulend then said, “Indeed. But first, we must beat his 3 lieutenants first. They would be a bother if we don’t finish them first.

Roman’s three lieutenants. Mahan, Wewwy, and Righter. 3 C ranked wizards who defected to this Dark Faction. They were once from a normal faction but they thought that their faction was too weak so instead they joined Dark Diablo. I hope this doesn’t take long enough before The Magnificent Three end up being killed by Roman. We better hurry up and beat those 3 lieutenants before its too late.
