Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 142: Attacking Jaegar



The soldiers and elite forces, stunned by the unexpected turn of events, continued firing, their bullets proving futile against Jaegar's defenses. The room filled with smoke and the acrid scent of gunpowder as the standoff intensified.

Mia, Jack, and Diana watched in awe and disbelief as Jaegar effortlessly withstood the onslaught, his powers manifesting in a way they had never seen before.

As the soldiers' bullets disintegrated harmlessly against Jaegar's impenetrable mist shield, the room was filled with an eerie silence.

Everyone present in the vicinity, including the elite forces and Primal Atoll's leadership, stood stupefied, their faces reflecting disbelief and fear. They had never encountered a Novoyant with such formidable abilities.

Jaegar's expression remained calm and determined.

He slowly waved his hands, one over the other, commanding the swirling mist to descend and interact with the bullets scattered across the floor. The mist responded to his will, sweeping across the ground and absorbing the spent ammunition with an eerie efficiency.

Within seconds, the absorbed bullets levitated into the air, suspended by Jaegar's supernatural power.

It was a surreal sight as the bullets hovered like malevolent fireflies, awaiting his command.

Then, with a sudden, sweeping motion of his hand, Jaegar unleashed the captured bullets.

They shot forward with deadly accuracy, targeting the soldiers who had been firing at him. They were mostly fired at the legs and arms; their bodies were armoured, and the shock sent them flying away.

Cries of agony and yells of shock filled the room as soldiers fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

Jaegar's precision was uncanny, and he seemed to deliberately avoid any fatal shots, incapacitating them instead.

Brighton, Laason, and Francesca watched in horror as they witnessed the extent of Jaegar's abilities.

They had severely underestimated him, and now they were paying the price. Jaegar's display of power had left them shaken and terrified.

Jaegar, undeterred by the chaos and suffering around him, walked purposefully towards Brighton, his eyes locked onto the Lord Minister. The air was charged with tension as he approached, his steps echoing with a quiet menace.

He stopped just a few feet away from Brighton, their eyes locked in a silent standoff. Jaegar's voice was cold and controlled as he spoke. "If you continue to stand in my way," he said, turning to a soldier who was lying on the ground. He shot another bullet just beside the soldier's head, scaring the shit outta him. He continued, "The next, I won't miss."

He turned to Brighton, who stared at him with widened eyes.

"You are a monster! A monster only capable of doing things like this," he said, his voice tensed.

Brighton, his arrogance replaced by a grim determination, grunted a response and swiftly ordered his men to bring reinforcements. The sound of heavy machinery resonated as tanks rolled out, their cannons aimed at the very spot where Jaegar stood.

Recognizing the escalating danger, Jaegar didn't hesitate. He extended his arms, and the swirling mist once again responded to his command, this time forming a protective cocoon around Diana.

She was enveloped in the hazy, ethereal shield, rendering her temporarily invulnerable to any external threats.

Mia and Jack, who had been watching the chaotic scene unfold from outside the facility, realized that things were spiralling out of control and becoming increasingly perilous.

Without wasting a moment, they sprinted towards the inside of the building. They decided to take advantage of the turmoil and went to look for the facility.

Inside the room, the tension was palpable as Brighton and Laason desperately rallied their remaining forces. The tanks were now in position, their massive cannons aimed at Jaegar's location, ready to unleash a devastating barrage.

As the tanks aimed their lethal cannons at Jaegar's location, their engines growled with anticipation, adding to the mounting tension in the room. The soldiers inside the tanks, although fearful of Jaegar's abilities, had been trained to follow orders without question. They knew that their survival depended on their willingness to execute Brighton's commands.

As the soldiers under Brighton's command took their positions with tanks and heavy artillery aimed directly at the room, the situation escalated once again.

Jaegar, his patience wearing thin, couldn't believe that they were still pushing the confrontation to the brink.

Diana, her voice trembling, pleaded, "Jaegar, please, let's find a way out of this without more violence."

Jaegar's gaze never left Brighton, and his tone remained resolute. "I've tried to reason with you, but it seems you, old stupid fuck, are determined to go down this path. Very well."

The swirling purple mist around Jaegar thickened and expanded, shrouding him completely. He seemed to merge with the mist, becoming an otherworldly presence that defied comprehension.

The soldiers, despite their military training, couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over them.

Brighton, though shaken by the unfolding events, couldn't allow Jaegar to dictate the outcome. He barked orders at his soldiers, commanding them to fire.

The tanks roared to life, their massive cannons unleashing a barrage of shells that tore through the air towards Jaegar's concealed form. The room reverberated with the thunderous cacophony of explosions as the shells struck.

BOOM!

Brighton's face twisted into a twisted grin as he watched the explosion. He believed that Jaegar's defensive capabilities had been overwhelmed.

Inside the mist, Jaegar remained unharmed, his powers seamlessly shielding him from the onslaught.

The mist absorbed the explosions, dissipating the shockwaves before they could reach him.

Mia and Jack, who were in the hallways, felt the shocks and the trembling of the whole building.

Diana, her heart pounding with fear, couldn't bear to see Jaegar face such an overwhelming force. She cried out, "Jaegar, please stop this. I can't bear to see you in danger."

Jaegar's voice, filtered through the mist, held a determination that matched the gravity of the situation. "I won't let them harm you."

"They took you and laid hands on you. I won't leave anyone who has even thought of having that intention." He said it in a deep voice, booming through the settling dust.

Francesca, watching from the sidelines, realized that her attempts to recruit Jaegar had been gravely underestimated. His powers were not only immense but also incredibly versatile.
