Aaron stepped out of the base and reached the main entrance. At Level 299, he moved with the casual indifference of a god walking among insects. His mana was so thick that everyone could feel it.
Still hidden, Jake saw him.
Aaron Abstuln. The man who betrayed Lena. This was the moment he had been waiting for. The boy didn't hesitate.
He activated Augmentation. Mana surged through his small body, dumping raw power into his attributes.
He pushed F.L.A.I.R. to high limits; the world slowed around him as his reflexes spiked, and he poured some more into S.H.I.E.L.D. to turn his body into a weapon of mass destruction.
He wasn't able to increase his attributes that much, because he also had to modify the summoning skill he used, so his mana dwindled, and quite a lot at that.
He launched himself.
To the soldiers below, Jake was a blur, a streak that tore through the air. He closed the distance in a second, aiming his dagger at Aaron's throat.
