Kill the Sun

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. Countless technologies and advances had been lost to time as the Specters, horrifying beings with terrifying powers, arrived and destroyed the world. Over the coming thousands of years, humanity had built itself up but always died again. Nobody remembers the past. Nobody remembers what humanity had once accomplished. Now, everyone is living in a world where the Specters reign supreme. ----- A boy with amnesia woke up in the middle of the Dregs, the worst part of Crimson Fungus City. The boy grows up and manages to become strong enough to pass an exam for one of the most prestigious jobs in existence, a Zephyx Extractor, someone that can harvest the powers of Specters. Sadly, he had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. But then, a mysterious man visits him. And his luck finally turns around.

Chapter 164 – The Torturer

Mere moments after Nick had noticed that his ability hadn't reactivated, he had turned his Barrier on.

If he hadn't done so, these many small objects would have skewered his body, and based on what he was seeing, he would have also been poisoned.

Without hesitation, Nick immediately looked to his back.

On top of the building where Nick had been earlier was a person.

Ardum.

At this moment, Ardum held several bloody tools in his right hand as he glared at Nick.

At the same time, Futuma spun to face Nick and narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, a person wearing a black cloak ran out from one street while they were holding a huge staff.

That was obviously Selina.

Based on all the reactions, Nick could tell that this had been a trap.

Selina and Ardum had probably been called over by a signal, but they hadn't attacked before Nick's vigilance had lowered.
