Chapter 406 A Terrifying Punch
"Kill him, now! Don't let him slow us down!"
The cold voice continued, "Seize a cruise ship fast!"
Osborne tracked the sound to its source a man masked and his voice altered, clearly not wanting to be recognized.
Yet, he radiated an intense energy.
He was definitely a Class A martial master!
Osborne raised an eyebrow, speculating, "A Class A martial master? These folks can't be from the Aberrants. They would have no need to hide their identities during an attack.
More likely, they're from a faction swayed by the Aberrants! Could they be from the Paltrow, Walker, or Luther families? If so, they're still not the main force here."
His face hardened at the thought.
But there was no time for pondering. Even if they weren't the Aberrants' main force, they were formidable.
Besides the man who spoke, at least a dozen other energy signatures, slightly weaker, surrounded them-Class A- at the least, with hundreds more below Class B.
A dozen Class A- fighters, if united, could make even a Class A master think twice. Yet Osborne was on his own, tasked with halting them all. He couldn't let them near the cruise ship.
With their power, they could easily commandeer it, taking the thousands of passengers hostage.
That would put both the Draco Group and the Augustine family in a bind.
"Kill!"
At the command, several masked figures closest to Osborne launched their assault. They were all Class A-, one a water elemental metahuman, the others martial artists.
"A space elemental metahuman? That's rare. Even in the Draco Group, you must hold a high rank, right? Pity you'll die here today!" sneered the water elemental metahuman.
Osborne had kept his power in check, so they were unaware he was a Class A martial master, mistaking him for a B+ level space elemental. Four Class A- fighters against a B+? Child's play.
"Even if Osborne's a space elemental metahuman, he's doomed!"
With that, he lashed out, causing waves to reverse and surge towards Osborne in mid-air. The other three Class A- martial artists leaped into action, their bodies unleashing terrifying force, aiming for Osborne's vitals.
"Die!"
In an instant, the attack was upon Osborne.
He snorted coldly, "Thinking you can pass? Dream on! Stay here, all of you!"
He punched forward.
A red glow enveloped him, his fist unleashing a torrential force as if to shatter everything before him.
The three Class A-martial artists'
attacks never reached Osborne; their eyes widened in terror as they were caught in the force, their bodies exploding with flesh and bloodeContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

of
Osborne had slain three Class A-martial artists, yet his power remained undiminished. He shattered the waves and hurled them at the water elemental metahuman.
With a thunderous crash, the Class A- water elemental met the same fate, unresponsive and annihilated.
The sheer force pulverized the surrounding boats, and their occupants were killed before a scream could escape.
The punch's might was staggering, even to Osborne himself.
He knew his body had mutated. When he ascended to Class A martial master, his energy and blood ball dwarfed others at his level by a factor of ten. His strength surpassed that of a typical Class A martial master.
Yet Osborne never imagined a casual punch could wield such terrifying power.
His one punch decimated four Class A- martial artists and a dozen more above Class B.
Now, only the roaring waves filled the air.
All enemies on the boats, including the masked man, gaped in horror.
He was Victor, the third elder of the Paltrow family.
According to the Aberrants' plan, Victor, a Class A martial master, would lead a group of experts from ancient families to swiftly exploit the Draco Group's vulnerabilities and
seize control of at least one cruise ship.
Then, they would use the passengers as leverage for the Aberrants' next move.
Victor was confident in this mission.
Initially, all went well.
Members of the Aberrants drew away most of the defense. Under normal circumstances, they would easily break through and take control of the cruise ship.
But then, a space elemental metahuman appeared, blocking their path.
Victor sensed a mere Class B+ metahuman, so he dispatched a few Class A- martial artists to deal with him.
The outcome was shocking.
The Class B+ space elemental metahuman was also a Class A martial master! A punch so fearsome! Even Victor wasn't sure he could deliver it.
"Damn it!"
Victor finally Snapped to his senses,
his face grave. "Attack together!
Even if he's a Class A martial master, even if he's mastered both martial arts and powers, he can't hold off so many of us! Strike together. Kill him!"
With that, he led the charge, unleashing the terrifying power of a Class A martial master towards Osborne.
Simultaneously, the remaining Class A- fighters joined the assault.
