Chapter 102 - 102:102 Awakening
Spring City, Ennis Hawkins side.
As Ennis Hawkins left the lab with the Demon Box more than to miles away, the weight of the Demon Box dramatically increased.
What was being held inside the Demon Box at this moment was Dean McKenzie’s Land of Bone, which was undergoing a Trial.
It’s no exaggeration to say that holding this Demon Box was basically equivalent to holding the entire Land of Bone.
However, when Ennis Hawkins came out, the Mysterious Man had not yet released the mass of the Demon Box.
But as Ennis Hawkins fled the lab carrying the Demon Box, the Mysterious
Man began to gradually release the mass of the Demon Box.
First, he released one percent.
Just one percent of the weight had already slowed Ennis Hawkins down.
At this time, Ennis Hawkins was already feeling the pressure, but he still held
the Demon Box tightly and pressed on.
As Ennis Hawkins continued to move forward, the weight of the Demon Box was continuously released, increasing the force on Ennis Hawkins.
Under this constant addition of weight, Ennis Hawkins’ speed was getting slower and slower.
Given the current situation.
If Ennis Hawkins did not give up the Demon Box, by the time he reached the
crack, it would already be too late.
Ennis Hawkins was trapped in a dilemma once again.
At this time, a sigh sounded next to Ennis Hawkins’ ear.
“Why do you insist on shouldering all the burdens yourself?
This matter isn’t just your responsibility alone!
Ennis Hawkins was taken aback, turned his head and saw that Anson Harris, the head of the Spring City Branch, and the ten Law Enforcement Team leaders of Spring City had already appeared behind him. Looking at them, Ennis Hawkins raised an eyebrow: “Why are you guys here? Didn’t I say this was my responsibility…?”
“What, are you telling me how to do my job?”
Anson Harris arrogantly interrupted Ennis Hawkins.
The leaders of Law Enforcement Teams behind him stood up one by one. They said things like, “we can’t let you be the hero all by yourself”, “the merit should be shared, not all yours”, “protecting Spring City is also our responsibility” and “it’s time we repaid you”.
“We are determined for this battle!
No one, including you, can dissuade us!”
Looking at the Law Enforcement Team leaders in front of him.
Listening to their cold, arrogant, or gentle words, Ennis Hawkins couldn’t help trembling: “You guys…”
“Don’t worry, we’ve cleared things up here in Spring City. The support from
Thorn Oak City will arrive in no more than an hour. There won’t be any problems here in Spring City.
As for your situation, it’s not a dire one, we will hold the crack first, you can take your time!”
Anson Harris said, patted Ennis Hawkins on the shoulder, and didn’t give Ennis Hawkins a chance to object. They charged towards the crack.
Ennis Hawkins was already too late to stop them.
In the end, watching the backs of Anson Harris and his men heading towards the crack, Ennis Hawkins gritted his teeth and fully activated his divine light, carrying the Demon Box at maximum speed.
In the face of Ennis Hawkins’ full strength, his speed, little by little, began to increase.
Even though he couldn’t catch up with Anson Harris and his men, he could see
their backs.
Looking at the backs before him, looking at the rapidly approaching crack, Ennis Hawkins took a deep breath.
Everything was finally moving in a positive direction.
However, just as Ennis Hawkins breathed a sigh of relief, Anson Harris and his men arrived at the edge of the crack.
“Boom!”
As Anson Harris and his men approached the crack, a terrifying energy erupted from within.
Anson Harris and the others who had just approached were hit first and were immediately engulfed by this energy.
Without even a scream, they vanished.
Seeing this scene, Ennis Hawkins’s mind was blown away.
His mind went blank, and he was completely stupefied on the spot.
It took a very long time for him to regain his senses.
Not until the energy reaction passed by him did he snap back to reality.
When he came to his senses, he saw the Demon Box emitting intense energy
fluctuations.
The entire box started to deform.
“No, not it, not it!”
Anson Harris and the other men had died in front of Ennis Hawkins. He couldn’t, and wouldn’t allow Dean to die in front of him again.
He raised the broken sword in his hand, bursting with energy, intending to split the Demon Box open.
But before he could raise his sword, the Demon Box had already shattered.
At the same time, Ennis Hawkins’s communication device rang.
“Sir, Dean McKenzie’s Substitute Doll is missing.
The situation might be developing in the worst direction we feared!”
“Boom!”
Almost at the same time as Ennis Hawkins’s communication device went off, the crack exploded open again.
This time, it wasn’t energy spilling out, but a horde of monsters.
At this moment, Ennis Hawkins was hit with three consecutive blows.
His colleagues with whom he had spent day-in and day-out had perished, Dean, who had initiated the Trial for him, had died, and the monsters he had been hoping to hold back at the crack were pouring out.
In no more than a minute, he had failed at everything he endeavored to do.
The magnitude of this blow to him was unimaginable.
At the very moment when Ennis Hawkins was completely drained, the figure of Breanna Holt appeared next to him. Looking at Ennis Hawkins on the verge of collapse, Breanna Holt smirked.
“You killed them!
If you had been more resolute and surrendered the boy from the beginning, the current situation might not have occurred.
Maybe, Anson Harris and the others wouldn’t have died.
If they were alive, they might have been able to stop the monsters from emerging from the crack.
But you didn’t make that choice, you chose to save everyone. Your actions might seem gentlemanly and romantic, but in reality, you’re merely a coward who lacks courage and can’t make decisions!
In the end, you couldn’t save anything!”
Breanna Holt’s words prompted the devastated Ennis Hawkins to slowly raise his head.
The newly composed Ennis Hawkins was like a different person than before, and what he said was even more astonishing: “Yes, you’re right, I did kill them.
But it’s not because of my choices that they died, it’s because of my lack of power.
If I had been stronger, they would not have died!”
“What did you say?”
Breanna Holt’s eyebrows raised, she felt that something was off.
At this moment, Ennis Hawkins released a strong, black, divine light.
At the same moment, the Mysterious Man, who had just thrown the unconscious Anson Harris and others to the side, looked up as if sensing something, his gaze directed towards Ennis Hawkins.
“Finally, it took a few tries, but we finally made it!”
A gratified smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded.
“Damn, Anthony, you really shouldn’t have given that kid such a big
opportunity.
He’s too young, only just having reached “One-turn”, he can’t handle such a big opportunity.
Most importantly, you’ve never given me such a big opportunity before!”
