Esper X Family – Chapter 241 – Announcing The Arrival
After learning of the situation, Johnson decided to have someone test their strength.
“Contact the leader of Jungle Gang. Two Espers are invading his airspace. Have him shoot them down!”
This was a well-considered move.
The Jungle Gang wasn’t a state organization but a group founded by unaffiliated Espers.
They didn’t obey authority and had gathered some like-minded Espers to dominate a territory.
The Sentinel Organization didn’t intend to deal with them.
After all, they paid a lot of taxes and skimmed some of the grease they squeezed from the bottom of the populace.
The Sentinels could turn a blind eye to them for this.
They even secretly cooperated with them.
Right now, a rogue Esper from Dragon Country ignored the Sentinel’s authority.
Daring to offend them must mean that they had some skill.
Thus, they could send other Espers that are not affiliated with the Sentinels to test their strength.
If something went wrong, there would still be room for maneuver.
The crackle of static hissed in the communication channel, along with the Sentinel members’ instructions to the Jungle Gang’s important members.
“Boss, the Sentinels say that a Dragon Country Esper and an ordinary person are about to fly over our airspace. They want us to shoot them down.”
“What’s their background?”
“The Sentinels say it’s a Dragon Country Esper without any backing, with a mental power fluctuation of just over three thousand. There won’t be any trouble even if we kill them.”
“Heh, those good-for-nothing fools can’t even handle such a small matter themselves.”
In a dimly lit mansion.
The smell of alcohol mixed with an air of extravagance.
The man known as the “Jungle Gang leader”, Jim, sat on a tiger-skin throne.
He was burly, his muscles almost bursting through his clothes.
His exposed skin was covered with a grayish, bark-like keratin layer.
Rеаⅾ on ΚаtRеαdiոgCаfе
Although his mental power hadn’t broken four thousand, it was still a high three thousand eight hundred.
More than enough to deal with someone at three thousand two hundred!
He stepped out of the house and looked up at the sky, catching two tiny light spots almost blending into the lead-gray clouds.
They weren’t particularly fast.
In Jim’s eyes, they were slow as turtles.
“Heh, they don’t seem like much, just live targets in the sky.”
Jim’s voice was low and hoarse, like the rubbing of dry wood.
A flash of displeasure at being used crossed his eyes, but more so, it was greed and brutality toward the two “targets” in the sky.
Such obvious live targets had most likely been spotted by many Espers.
Flying in the sky was quite the show of power.
Only a handful of Espers below S-rank could fly.
Those who could conquer gravity with personal strength were naturally eye-catching.
But as long as they weren’t S-rank, anyone relying on “shortcuts” to fly would be somewhat despised.
Right now, many eyes are focused on the two figures in the sky.
Jim’s nerves grew more excited under the influence of alcohol.
Have him make a move?
Just what he wanted!
Taking down these two flaunting figures in the sky would not only intimidate his peers but also make the Jungle Gang’s reputation resound throughout the underworld!
Jim took a deep breath, as if sucking in the surrounding light.
The air in the clearing suddenly turned viscous and heavy.
The soil beneath his feet began to squirm.
Countless thick, metallic, coldly gleaming thorny vines burst from the ground, like giant serpents coming to life.
These creations twisted, grew, and intertwined madly under his will.

High in the sky.
Xia Lian quickly noticed the energy fluctuation that was building up.
“White Catty, seems like someone wants to shoot us down.”
Ye Tong’s hood fluttered in the high-speed airflow.
She also sensed the energy fluctuation.
Such obvious targeting, the other party wasn’t even trying to hide it.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Xia Lian’s face.
“Do you need me to make a move?”
“No need, I don’t plan to keep playing the pig to eat the tiger 1 Acting weak to bait people and then show off. Very common in face slapping novels. .”
Ye Tong’s eyes were as calm as ever, like an unfathomable cold pool.
Attacking at the slightest disagreement?
She would have to defend herself properly then.
You’re powering up?
Then I’ll power up too!
Light spheres representing mental power gathered behind her.
In just a few seconds.
Ten light spheres, each with a capacity of 150, appeared around her.
If these ten light spheres hit an A-rank Esper, they would probably just be a minor annoyance.
But this was just the surface.
Gathering the light spheres might need a wind-up, but【Myriad Things Fission】didn’t need one!
Jim on the ground was already prepared.
He suddenly noticed that the two figures in the sky had stopped.
As if sensing the danger.

They might have already spotted the attack building up on the ground.
Yet, they showed no intention of fleeing. In fact, they were even faintly emitting a weak energy fluctuation.
Clearly preparing to counterattack.
“Hahaha!! They dare to confront me head-on? With such a weak energy fluctuation, they dare to fight me, Jim?”
Jim nearly laughed his teeth off.
Like Tom Cat holding a mini firecracker 2 , his mood was filled with nothing but mockery.
He knew that after powering up, his full-force strike could crush an Esper with over four thousand mental power, even close to five thousand!
His Jungle Gang might not be the strongest underground force in the Yunited States.
But it was enough to rank in the top five!
“Go to hell!”
Jim’s arms swung up fiercely.
The grayish keratin layer all over his body suddenly burst with a blinding earthy yellow light!
With a roar like tearing cloth.
Countless thorny giant spears, their tips shimmering with destructive energy fluctuations, shot out as if launched by an invisible giant crossbow.
Tearing through the air with a scalp-numbing shriek.
They shot toward the two light spots high in the sky!
Wherever the thorny spears passed, the air was compressed into white shockwaves.
Even the wooden roof below was torn into a huge fan-shaped gap by the residual force, sending wood chips flying.
This was a force capable of piercing armor.
It was also Jim’s proud killing move.
A fusion of Plant Frenzy and Earth Power!
“Myriad Things Fission.”
The light spheres behind Ye Tong grew exponentially.
Rеаd οn ΚαtReαԁіոgСafе
Ten light spheres instantly became a hundred.
All the light spheres united in thought, the energy fluctuation skyrocketing in an instant.
Totaling 15,000.
A mental power outburst far surpassing S-rank.
Using this against small fry was already overkill.
Ye Tong’s eyes were as calm as a lake without ripples.
Her open palm faced Jim’s direction, making an extremely casual “downward slash” motion.
Hum—!
The light sphere condensed to the extreme suddenly trembled.
Not exploding.
But instantly “unfolding”!
It elongated and stretched, turning into a slash as thin as a cicada’s wing yet seemingly cutting through the boundary of reality and nothingness!
This slash had no physical edge.
It was the manifestation of pure energy and will, like a brutal tear forcibly ripped open by space itself!
Wherever the slash passed, light completely vanished.
Leaving a trail of pure “nothingness” that devoured everything.
Air, dust, sound…
Everything lost its meaning before this slash.
Excess matter was instantly “erased”.
With this slash, Ye Tong officially announced her arrival!
