Chapter 198: Might
I could hear screams and cries coming from around, panic on the faces of several pedestrians, yet no one glanced at me and Bettany.
Anyone who came within a certain range of us took either a left or right turn, walking around us, these people none the wiser of our presence.
Quickly focusing back on Bettany I pondered her words and couldn't fight off the temptation to have her beneath me, my throat swallowing at how much I stood to gain.

Bang!!
Bang!!
Bang!!
Without a word, I pulled on the trigger and Spell breaker in response spat out a rocketing shell.
Pulling on the bolt and walking forward, I let out another thunderous shell, my eyes narrowing on Nina after I let out a third shell.
I don't know how she did it, but no matter how fast I fired, for each shell, there was a fresh new barrier to stop it.
I picked up my pace as I moved towards Bettany, and the woman seeing the murder in my eyes began moving backwards.
"Marcus I can be of help to you" Bettany screamed, her eyes alternating between me and her barriers which kept on being shattered.
"Marcus please."
"Where is Lucy?" I asked but that didn't mean I stopped shooting.
Bang!!
Another shell sped out of my shotgun, the barrier that appeared to protect Bettany noticeably standing closer to her than the previous time.
I could see the fear in the woman's eyes escalate at this and then suddenly her eyes brightened and she quickly stood to her feet.
"What now "I thought quickly going on alert.
Stretching out her right hand, my eyes barley caught a long broom shoot through the sky and standing beside her and stopping her retreat, Bettany opened the brown book she had brought out earlier.
Bringing the book to her front, the woman let go of it, my eyes widening as it floated in front of her and my momentum was brought to a halt as a much more powerful wave of Psion spread out from her.
I felt goosebumps run all over my body and when my 8th round shattered Bettany's new barrier, sending her stumbling backward, I shot towards her.
Unlike my shotgun which could break apart Bettany's barrier, my body was far weaker, but remembering my encounter with John Stokes, I bet that no matter if her barriers were instantly automatic, if she wanted to attack me, just like John would have to bring them down.
There wasn't much space between us and by the time Bettany had regained her footing, I was already beside her.
Keeping my senses on alert, I waited to sense the slightest movement in psion around her and when it came, I pushed forward.
A murderous look appeared in my eyes as my hand shot forward, my two-finger aiming for Bettany's eyes, but.
Fillnoi!
Bettany spoke an unknown word and before she could even finish saying it, a powerful force acted on me and I was immediately blasted away.
My entire body was pressed against as I was sent flying backwards and I slammed into the ground so hard that I let out a painful wheeze.
My body pressed and racked into the pavement and the force pressed on me for an extra second more before disappearing.
Though my whole body ached, the second I could no longer feel the force, I moved, gulping as Bettany repeated this same foreign word and hit my previous location with a more powerful attack.
"Her broom contains dense amount of Psion and is covered in drawings.
This was something that I could only see thanks to mind vision and when there was fluctuation in the movement of energy in her broom, I quickly changed location.
Boom!!
Boom!!
Two hits came from Bettany each time she spoke, these one's stronger than the last and they left an over 5-meter depression in my previous positions.
This time with a pulse from Bettany, the broom reflected Psion onto the brown book which then released a glowing mysterious energy into the world."
I was still observing Bettany and trying to figure out how her abilities worked when the open book before her on its own flipped pages and Bettany began speaking a long string of undecipherable words.
"Fuck"
Bettany's last attack had sent me retreating, wanting to create space so I could better observe her, but now as she spoke out this string of words, the air around us became several times heavy and like I was before the curly-haired man, I felt a pressure on my shoulders.
I didn't waste time to push forward, my gun fully reloaded by my time third step and holding it up at Bettany, I fired.
The rebound from the gun had me slowing down and I also grimaced as despite Bettany preparing an attack, an invisible barrier still popped up and shielded her.
This development, had me cautious of drawing anymore conclusions on the woman's abilities, an helpless gainlessly emptying my ammo, I watched as blue fire birthed above Bettany.
With mind vision I saw both her book and broom releasing several waves of Psion and then I watched the birthed blue flame rapidly swell and transform into a serpent that coiled and hovered above her, it's body as thick as a car.
Staring at the construct above Bettany a dumbfounded expression appeared on my face and Bettany couldn't miss the chance to mock me.
"I like the fear I see in your eyes baby, get on your knees and beg and maybe Mommy will forgive you."
"System, what the hell kind of power is this."
From where I stood, I could feel the heat emanating off Bettany's serpent and looking around I could see that some people were looking in our direction very confused.
They couldn't see us, but they could feel the heat or perhaps power radiating from our location.
"Be smart Marcus, you pissed me off and I made this. If this attack hits you I can't guarantee that you will even have a body for me to study.
Surrender."
I ignored the babbles coming from Bettany's mouth ready to run and risk being pursued by the fiery serpent than to bow to Bettany but an high spirited feeling had me standing my ground.
"Are you the one" I muttered looking down at my shotgun.
Perhaps wary of her limits, Bettany set the serpent coiling and shooting towards me without any warning, it's very essence making my skin rapidly heat up, but fearlessly, I pointed Spell breaker at it.
Bang!!
What do you think?
