Chapter 974: Lights in the tunnel
Grabbing the blackguard by the throat, Erik slammed him against the wall with a force that rattled the metal panels.
The blackguard's eyes bulged in shock, and Erik felt a brief satisfaction before tightening his grip and crushing the man's windpipe.

The body went limp, sliding to the floor as Erik released it. But there were many more blackguards inside that room now.
In the meantime, the ice barrier protecting Richard was still up. The cold would at least make his pain go numb a little, and would offset the higher temperature.
Another group of blackguards entered these armed with brain-crystal rifles. But they used not only these weapons.
They also used brain crystal powers, among which were telekinesis, enhanced speed, and energy manipulation.
That was, at least, based on what Erik could see through his analysis.
Erik had difficulty fighting them because these guys really knew what they were doing. But of course, they were blackguards, expecting less from them was stupid.
A first blackguard darted in with superhuman speed, aiming a precise strike at Erik's heart. The man blocked it with a forearm; the impact reverberating through his bones, but whatever damage the man inflicted, the wound instantly closed.
Erik thought back to when he got the Hevadrin's brain crystal power. That had been a very smart decision.
He responded with a powerful punch to the man's chest, launching him backwards. The problem, for the blackguard, of course, was that he instantly died, since the chest was basically destroyed.
Erik must have crushed the man's lungs, aside from his bones, and most likely stopped his heart from beating.

There was no sight of the corridor from which he came. Instead, he found himself in a distinct part of the prison, but he didn't know where.
In front of him was a tunnel that stretched out for a while. On the other side, there was a door, but where it led, Erik didn't know.
However, from the area, he could infer something. The walls were metallic and glowing with
blue light.
"Aclaitrium."
The glow didn't leave space for anything else. It must have been aclaitrium.
"Pretty overkill..." Erik said, glancing around the glowing tunnel. He then turned his mind to
the biological supercomputer.
The supercomputer responded almost as Erik was done thinking.
moment.> Erik felt a faint hum in his mind as the supercomputer interfaced with the prison's systems. After a few seconds, it spoke again. But the biological supercomputer paused again. direction.> Erik nodded, even though the system couldn't see the gesture. He tightened his grip on Richard, adjusting his weight. He set off down the tunnel, his steps quick and purposeful, the faint glow of the Aclaitrium ore lighting his way.
