[JJ: Mightman! Please don’t die on us]

[Marypaz13: Mightman! 😭😭]

Julie raised her camera, but for the first time, she wasn’t smiling. Tears streamed down her face as she watched the scene unfold. She couldn’t let this moment go uncaptured. The world had to witness the burden the Mightman carried for them.

Even if recording this meant risking her own life, she was willing to make that sacrifice.

’If I want to be the best, then I have to do whatever it takes... I won’t let your sacrifice be in vain.’ She gritted her teeth as she continued recording.

They all watched in awe as Eric’s punch landed.

Nicholas had always wondered how powerful the manager truly was. Now, he was witnessing the full might of Mightman with his own eyes.

Even beneath the crushing force of gravity, his body battered and bruised.

Eric kept moving.

He moved because of the burdens he carried. Because he believed heroes existed to shoulder the suffering of others.

Every step forward was proof of the man he was.

"Ahhhhh!" With a loud roar, Eric’s fist came crashing down on Ronald.

"Raarghhhh" A muffled sound escaped from the mutated Ronald as the fist drove into his chin.

Blood and saliva burst from Ronald’s mouth as the punch launched him into the air.

The air twisted violently from the impact, the earth cracked and the impure was sent tumbling through the air from the punch.

Eric didn’t hesitate. He burst forward, catching Ronald before his body could stop flying.

A powerful punch connected with his gut, with an explosive sound.

BOOM.

A cracking sound was heard as the bones jerked under the intense force.

Ronald was sent rocketing into the sky.

Eric stared up at the body letting out a loud roar as he stomped his feet on the ground causing the earth beneath his feet to cave in under the strength of his body.

With a powerful burst of energy, he leaped into the air, surpassing the flying body and from above he sent another powerful punch that sent Ronald coming downwards.

Ronald slammed into the earth causing a crater five meters deep, blood splattering across the earth.

Eric landed next to him his condescending gaze fixed on the figure inside, filled with so much disappointment and anger.

"I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. After today, your council will never control another hero again.

We respected you... And this is how you repaid us?

Using our loved ones as hostages." Eric’s voice was filled with emotions as he walked into the crater.

Even after the punch, somehow Ronald still managed to stand, his bones could be seen hanging out, but even then, it still somehow managed to stand.

But Eric didn’t mind, he wasn’t done either. He wasn’t quite satisfied yet.

Ronald glared at him with insanity burning in his eyes, with a wave of his hands, several spatial tears cracked open around Eric.

Eric frowned as he saw this, the tears were large and he could feel the force behind them, ’It can use Vixen’s abilities and Nectron’s as well?’ Eric frowned as he saw the spatial tears around him.

His leg moved in an attempt to leap forward, but almost as though Ronald could read his mind, the gravity fell on him again, the intensity far greater than before.

It bore down on him like a mountain, the crushing force pulling him to his knees.

Eric’s expression twisted with pain as he tried to resist the force of the gravity.

The spatial tears slowly closed in.

"Ahhhh!" Eric tried to muster all his strength, but the gravity kept increasing with every passing second.

The spatial tears slowly closed in on him, the clanging sounds could be heard against his metallic skin, but it slowly ripped the skin open as it tore forward.

Blood seeped out from the silver sheen, as the grinding force of the spatial tears increased.

But at the last minute, Eric disappeared from where he stood, appearing somewhere next to Nicholas

"Huh?" He said out in surprise, sensing the energy shift.

"Thank you for saving my sisters, but Ronald is mine to deal with. I’ll take things on from here" Nicholas voice came from the side, stunning Eric as he turned to look at the young man.

"From what you’ve told me, I’ve made an analysis.... I’ve seen a hero with similar traits. His ability is based on greed. He can absorb whatever ability is thrown at him and reflect it with more power. However, it seems that it is only limited to abilities that are ranged or in other words don’t require any sort of manipulation. Physical abilities are an exception like in the case of Mightman. Although his strength also seems to be climbing the longer he stays, hence why the gravity became stronger" Selena said sternly, her assertive eyes fixed on Ronald.

"Supervisor Selena, Phantom! I told you two to get out of here!" Eric roared, rage filling his eyes as he saw the two.

Selena flashed him a cold glare, "We should leave? And watch you die?! That’s not possible Sir Eric, we can’t do that" she said sternly, "If you’re going to die, then we might as well die together"

Selena said her voice resolute.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to die. I have siblings to get home to" Nicholas cut her off, Selena glared at him about to shout, but Eric’s laughter made her pause.

"Hahaha, Phantom never changes even in situations like these, but for some reason, I can only trust in his words. I have no intention of dying, because I have an Association to take care of" Eric said as he slowly stood up.

"What are you planning to do?" Selena flashed him a glare, seeing him stand.

"Didn’t you just say physical abilities are his weakness? You don’t expect me to sit back and watch do you?" Eric said with a grin.

"But you’ve been injured!" Selena retorted.

"Trust me a bit more supervisor, I don’t intend to die. Plus, Phantom isn’t the only one who has a score to settle with that bastard"

Nicholas glanced at Eric who was now standing by his side and the two focused their gazes on Ronald.

"Let’s give that bastard the beating of his life" Eric said with a grin as he shot forward from where he stood with momentum.

Nicholas didn’t respond but nodded, as he disappeared from his spot, reappearing from Ronalds left.

Ronald stood in the center, as the two figures shot at him from both sides.

His eyes flashed with insanity as he stared at both angles.

Nicholas coming from the left and Eric from the right.
