Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 785 It's time to show our true power. (Second update)

Upon realizing he had suddenly lost the ability to speak, Xiao immediately looked at Jerry behind Eric.

Because he knew very well what kind of abilities Eric possessed, he was certain that this situation must have been caused by the strange mutant following Eric.

However, he wasn't too concerned. It was just a silent ability, not destructive, and posed no threat to him.

At most, it would prevent him from persuading Eric through words anymore.

To be honest, he really admired Eric, the pawn he had raised since childhood, and Eric was very similar to him at heart, except that Eric couldn't let go of his little bit of affection.

He killed Eric's mother in the first place, but it was to help Eric better awaken his abilities. However, Eric couldn't understand his good intentions and instead turned against him.

"Go to hell!"

The moment Eric saw Shaw, he seemed to recall the scene of his mother lying in a pool of blood that day. His heart was immediately filled with anger, and his ability to control the magnetic field erupted in full force.

All the metal on the nuclear submarine detached from its original position and transformed into various deadly weapons, piercing towards Xiao's location.

If Xiao were an ordinary person, he would have been skewered like a meat skewer, but unfortunately, he wasn't.

As the sharp metal objects hurtled towards him, Xiao revealed a disdainful smile.

"It seems my abilities have improved quite a bit, but I'm still far from there!"

At this moment, although Xiao had not completely absorbed all the nuclear energy inside the nuclear submarine, he had absorbed most of it, and was at the peak of his strength.

He simply reached out and gently pushed forward, releasing an invisible energy that shattered all the incoming metal objects.

Even the entire nuclear submarine was shaken apart by the aftershocks of that powerful energy, exposing it to everyone's gaze.

Then he stepped up to Eric, who was caught off guard, and pointed at him. Eric immediately flew backward as if he had been hit by a train, spitting out blood and flying violently towards Jerry behind him.

Unable to speak or persuade, Shaw had already decided to kill Eric first before continuing his plan.

However, things obviously didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.

Just when he thought his attack would kill Eric and the mutant behind him who could silence him, an unexpected event occurred.

The mutant who had rendered him speechless caught Eric with ease, without even moving an inch.

"They were pretty ruthless!"

Jerry caught Eric as he was hurtling towards him at high speed and found that most of Eric's bones were broken and his internal organs were all displaced. If it weren't for his mutant genes making him stronger than a normal person, he would probably be dead by now.

"Eric!"

At the same time, because the nuclear submarine was shaken to pieces, Charles and the others, whose battle had just ended outside, also noticed the scene and rushed over.

Red Devil and Torrent are both top-tier mutants, but Charles's side has a large and powerful force with both control and damage output. The two of them were overwhelmed and couldn't win against the eight.

"How is he?"

Charles looked at the dying Eric and asked Jerry.

Jerry put Eric down and said calmly:

"Well, judging by the current situation, I estimate he can only last for two more minutes at most."

Upon hearing that Eric only had two minutes left to live, Charles, usually calm and wise, suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes.

After spending several months together, Charles had come to regard Eric as his best friend and confidant for life.

"Run!"

Eric stretched out his hands, stained with his own blood, and struggled to grasp Charles's clothes. After uttering a single word, he slowly closed his eyes.

He originally thought that after his abilities were developed, he wouldn't be much worse than Xiao even in a one-on-one fight.

Unexpectedly, Xiao's strength has greatly increased due to absorbing a large amount of nuclear energy, and he defeated him in a single move.

Therefore, deep down he had already concluded that even if Charles and the others joined forces, they had no chance of winning; Shaw was too strong!

As for the outbreak of nuclear war among humans, Eric didn't care at all. He came to kill Shaw mainly for revenge, not to save humanity. In fact, if it weren't for revenge, because of his friend Charles, he felt that Shaw's actions weren't wrong.

"Eric!"

When Eric closed his eyes, everyone wore a sad expression, except for Jerry.

"I'm telling you, Eric's not going to die, why are you all so upset?"

"Didn't you say he only had two minutes left?"

Charles was filled with sadness and confusion.

Jerry smiled:

"I meant that under these circumstances, he might live for another two minutes, but I didn't say I couldn't save him!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and cast a healing spell on Eric. Soft white light shone into Eric's unconscious body, and in just five seconds, he opened his eyes and stood up again with great vigor.

Eric's injuries were indeed severe, but they were nothing to Jerry. Not to mention his current condition, even Madam Pomley of Hogwarts could easily heal him.

"I can't believe it!"

Seeing Eric fully recovered, even Shaw on the other side stared wide-eyed.

The ability to fully revive a person on the verge of death in just a few seconds seems a bit too illogical.

"Jerry, I owe you a life!"

Eric clasped his hands together and said to Jerry with a solemn expression.

If Jerry hadn't saved him, he would have really died just now. He could feel his soul about to leave his body, being pulled by an unnamed force.

"Now is not the time to slack off!"

Logan, a veteran of many battles, saw Shaw approaching again, extended his bone claws, and charged forward first.

Seeing this, the others also began to launch various attacks on Xiao. Even Mora drew his pistol and fired at Xiao.

Unfortunately, Xiao's ability is to absorb any kind of energy, including physical kinetic and potential energy.

Therefore, the close-quarters combat of Logan, Raven, Darwin, and Hank is ineffective against Shaw, and the ranged energy attacks of the Siren, the Destroyer, and the Angels will also be absorbed by Shaw.

On the contrary, Xiao could easily unleash the energy he absorbed from the attack, enough to send everyone flying.

"We must find a way to remove his helmet!"

At that moment, Charles, who had been standing next to Jerry, spoke telepathically to everyone.

The only one who can restrain Shaw here is Charles. As long as Charles can remove the helmet on Shaw's head that blocks his mental energy, he can use his mental energy to immobilize Shaw.

At that time, even if Mora went up there, he could easily kill Xiao.

"No need for that trouble, just leave it to me."

At this moment, Jerry, who had noticed the two countries' fleets were about to make a move, knew that the time was almost right and took the initiative to step forward and point his hand at Shaw.

It's time to show our true power!
