Bang bang bang…
"Don't avoid me if you dare!" Sherman cried out with a malicious expression . Lifting his cannon up, he shot out another large ball of light . The ball of light penetrated through the walls of the building, and it gave chase to Herlous' escaping rabbit-like figure .
"Stop firing if you dare!"
With a loud roar, Herlous dragged his Battleship Slicing Blade, and with the buildings as cover, he avoided Sherman's attacks . By making use of the complicated battlefield, he went around Sherman .
The instant that the battle erupted, Sherman had immediately picked Herlous as his opponent . He still remembered this mercenary who had injured him and planned to settle the grudge .
The chaotic battle between DarkStar and the mercenaries formed many mini battles scattered all around the region . The sound of killing, explosions, and firing could be heard all around, and the battles between the Supers caused more and more damage to the region . Flames could be seen burning everywhere .
Herlous was hit by Sherman's cannon fire a few times . The attack of this dwarf Cannon Master was powerful, and it did not feel good for Herlous to receive those attacks . His Shattered Light armor was charred in many different areas, and as they ran and battled, they gradually strayed further and further away from the main battlefield .
The opponent was an elite DarkStar warrior and also a Grade B Super . Herlous had no choice but to concentrate fully and did not have the attention to spare to bother about anything else . He only knew that the others had also met powerful opponents . Wilsander was in an intense battle with Forsyth and had also left the main battlefield . The three Volga brothers had joint hands and engaged the DarkStar warriors by relying on their teamwork .
Feidin should be hiding somewhere with Sylvia, but with the battlefield spreading over such a large area, Herlous was worried that the two of them would not have a place to hide and end up being spotted by the enemy .
Pew!

A ray of laser brushed past his shoulders and hit a building far away with a loud explosion . Herlous let out a curse and hurriedly focused on avoiding the incoming attacks .
At that moment, a powerful gust of wind blew over, and Herlous was not able to resist it . He was blown away by the gust of wind and flung more than ten meters away . Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another figure that was being blown away . Sherman had not been spared by the gust of wind either .
Raising his head to take a look, he saw Wind Demon Anur circling around the skies while dragging a mini cyclone that covered a radius of one square kilometer . Everywhere he went, the buildings and streets would be thrown into complete chaos .
The tall buildings that had originally blocked one's view had been completely torn down . Their field of vision was much larger than before, and they could see Nagakin and Black Star fighting Anur in the sky . However, because Anur's speed was too fast, the two of them were engaged in a bitter battle .
Bang!
A wind pressure cannon sent Black Star flying toward a tall building .
Herlous grabbed his weapon tightly and sprinted toward Sherman . While he wanted to reinforce Han Xiao, he had to first get rid of his current opponent, Sherman .
…
"Ah! My old back!"

Han Xiao flew out from a large hole in the building and took a breath of cold air .
His armor was heavily damaged, and the situation of the battle was displayed on his battle interface by Phillip . Currently, the battle between both parties was extremely intense, but he had no choice but to place his attention on Anur . Looking at the Wind Demon who came and went as though he was mocking them, Han Xiao felt a great headache .
"This fellow is the veteran high-ranked expert of DarkStar . His ability is really too troublesome, and being unable to catch up to him puts us at a huge disadvantage . "
Han Xiao's expression was solemn . In the ranked A mission [Godora's Ally], there were a few dozen requirements, and the majority of them were to either kill or capture DarkStar members or battleships . These required a certain quantity for the requirement to be met . There were some other requirements with higher rewards with the target being specific important DarkStar personnel . Anur was one of those targets .
The size of the reward was a good way to estimate the difficulty of the mission . The reward for getting rid of Anur was the sixth highest among all the other requirements in the mission . This was an indication of Anur's strength .
The majority of my normal battle methods are useless against him . His speed is too fast, and he is even able to turn invisible . It is very difficult for my weapons to hit him, and he does not even need to touch us . As long as he flies past us, the wind pressure that he generates will attack us .
Furthermore, he can control the wind pressure to form a shield, and his defenses aren't weak . Nagakin isn't able to match him in terms of agility in the sky . Even if Nagakin's fists and Shockwave Blast are powerful, it's useless if they cannot hit the target . He will only end up being toyed with .

Han Xiao analyzed the situation calmly as he fired his weapons . Anur's abilities were very well rounded, and of all his skills, only a few were capable of dealing with Anur . The most powerful one would naturally be Ames' Character Summon Card . Restricting Anur for ten seconds was extremely fatal to an enemy who relied on speed . However, the Character Summon Card could only be used once and was very precious . Even if he wanted to use it, Han Xiao would wait for a better opportunity .
Perhaps Chen Xing's Character Summon Card can be put to use… maybe to seduce the enemy or something…
Just as he was observing the enemy, Anur was also observing him .

So, he is Black Star…
Anur studied Han Xiao carefully . This was the first time that he met Han Xiao personally . In the past, he had only understood Han Xiao from the intelligence reports and Ember's description . Anur was truly curious about this fellow who had been able to make Ember suffer multiple losses .
He did not understand why Ember always suffered losses at Black Star's hand . It was as though Black Star was his nemesis .
The organization had groomed Ember so that he would be able to play a more important role . Ember's ability was capable of accurately and quickly massacring a large group of enemies without causing collateral damage . This was an important weapon for them to wipe out all the pureblooded Godorans . A weapon should not be allowed to malfunction .
When DarkStar discovered Ember's talent, they had already decided to turn him into a large killing weapon that belonged solely to DarkStar!
Allowing Han Xiao to live would only affect Ember's mental state and the benefits of DarkStar . Now that he had a chance, Anur felt that he should get rid of Black Star lest Ember got obsessed over this mercenary .
"Since that useless student of mine is unable to get rid of you, let me do it instead," Anur muttered .
Rumble!
Right at this moment, the ground began to shake .
In the surrounding few kilometers, the ground of the city began cracking up, and a mechanical base under the city was revealed . All the buildings that were still intact were retracted underground for protection, and twenty-meter-tall mechanical poles rose up from underground and surrounded the entire battlefield .
Hum!
Those mechanical poles lit up at the same time, and a large blue concave protective shield was formed . It looked like an upside-down bowl and had a diameter of twenty kilometers . It separated the battlefield from the other regions of the city .
Every city was equipped with a large number of facilities underground, and this was the protective shield . Noriosse had taken action to cut their losses and restrict the battlefield to this region, which was already unsalvageable . They wanted to stop the battlefield from being spread further to protect the other regions of the city .
This action of theirs was equivalent to giving up on that region of the city, but in comparison to losing the entire city, which spanned a few thousand kilometers, this was a wise decision .
If it were any ordinary people creating trouble, they would have caught the perpetrators without any hesitation . However, the battle between Calamity Grade Supers was not so easily stopped, and Noriosse only had a single Grade A Protector . Furthermore, this Protector had been hired with a sky-high salary, so he might not stop the battle alone .
Forcefully intervening in this battle would only increase their losses, and the background of these individuals was not something that could be ignored .
Help Godora? While the Noriosse Financial Group was not afraid of DarkStar, they were businessmen and did not want to be on the hit list of such a frightening organization .
Help DarkStar? They would only do so if they were dreaming!
Thus, the upper echelons of Noriosse were also very helpless . They were not politicians, only the managers of this planet . Profits were their only goal . If the price of maintaining peace was too high, they would consider watching from the side . It had already been many years since Grade A Supers last fought on Noriosse, and this was probably the largest commotion that DarkStar had created in the past ten years .
The upper echelons felt that it was best for them not to interfere in the matter to avoid any risks .
