My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2285

At that moment, two groups of people gathered.

"Who's missing?" Sterling asked.

Sven spoke up, "Nash hasn't come out yet!"

Everyone stared helplessly at the building.

After comforting Mica, Sven recklessly rushed into the building.

The others could only exchange bewildered glances, knowing they could not interfere now. They had to leave the battlefield to Nash and Sven.

Inside the building, even the leader of the Illuminion was not spared.

Ioan opened his eyes, unsurprised that someone of Nash's caliber remained unaffected.

The entire building became the root of Ioan's quest for power as he continuously absorbed the life force of the weaker individuals.

"Alright, Nash Calcraft. You're next!"

Ioan spread his wings and attacked Nash. Nash swiftly kicked Ioan, but the impact sent Nash flying instead.

With his newfound powers, Ioan was nearly invincible.

Ioan did not bother dodging Nash's kick. The energy surging within him created a protective barrier, shielding him like leaves protect a tree.

Nash's keen observation revealed Ioan's continuous absorption of the building's occupants' power. Connecting this to Ioan's earlier mutterings, Nash realized what he was doing.

He knew that if he could sever the source of Ioan's power absorption, Ioan would be no match for him.

Without hesitation, Nash closed his eyes, and searing energy flashed forth.

Locked in this impasse, Ioan believed victory was within his grasp and began to toy with Nash leisurely.

They zipped between the hundred floors, each collision causing violent explosions and tremors throughout the building. Yet, the damage was repaired almost instantly.

Nash kicked Ioan from the 90th floor to the first, and Ioan retaliated with a punch.

As the battle reached its peak intensity, Sven shattered a window and appeared beside Ioan, delivering a swift elbow strike.

The unexpected attack knocked Ioan to the ground.

At that moment, Ioan sensed something amiss.

Sven's sudden appearance momentarily nullified his abilities, allowing him to take direct damage.

Nash noticed this too, and he then knew that the time for a counter-attack had arrived.
