Chapter 980 Eric and Erika || SSS Rank Heroes

The deafening roar of the monstrous horde echoed through the beleaguered city as the S-rank heroes valiantly battled to stem the tide. Buildings crumbled, and the very ground trembled beneath the colossal weight of the invaders. Despair hung heavy in the air, threatening to suffocate all hope.

Amidst this chaos and devastation, a sudden thunderous impact shook the ground. A shockwave rippled outward, clearing the dust and debris for a brief moment, revealing two figures descending from the sky with an awe-inspiring force.

First came the female hero, her landing like a meteor strike. She crashed into the ground with a powerful shockwave, sending shards of concrete and asphalt flying in all directions. Her armor gleamed with an otherworldly radiance, and her presence was nothing short of commanding. Her gaze pierced through the chaos, assessing the situation with steely determination.

Following her was the male hero, who landed gracefully beside her, his descent seemingly defying gravity itself. His arrival sent a series of crackling shockwaves through the air, dispersing the thick dust clouds. His eyes, filled with unwavering resolve, scanned the encroaching horde of nightmarish creatures.

The S-rank heroes, momentarily stunned by this dramatic entrance, quickly recovered. Relief washed over them, for the arrival of these two enigmatic figures signaled a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. They knew not who these heroes were, but their power was undeniable.

The S-rank heroes couldn't help but feel a surge of hope, yet a lingering question lingered in the back of their minds: what could two heroes possibly do against the overwhelming onslaught of these monstrous invaders when their own formidable group was struggling?

The female hero, her eyes sharp and unwavering, turned to address the S-rank heroes. Her voice cut through the chaos with a sense of command that demanded immediate attention.

"Fall back,

" she declared firmly.

"You've done enough. Leave the rest to us.

"

Her words held an undeniable weight, a testament to her authority and capabilities. The S-rank heroes exchanged glances, and though reluctant to retreat, they understood that their current situation was untenable. With a collective nod, they began to disengage from the frontlines, ensuring the civilians were evacuated to safety as they withdrew.

The male hero, standing alongside the female, emanated an air of quiet confidence. His eyes scanned the advancing horde of monsters, and he spoke with an unwavering resolve,

"We've got this. Go and tend to the wounded, protect the city's core. We'll handle the rest.

"

With that, the S-rank heroes retreated, leaving the two enigmatic newcomers alone on the battlefield. As the remaining defenders of the city watched from a distance, they couldn't help but wonder who these heroes were and what incredible powers they possessed. The fate of their city now rested in the hands of these two mysterious saviors.

As Eric and Erika faced the flying monsters, they shared a brotherly-sisterly banter amidst the chaos.

Eric gazed at the monstrous creatures soaring through the sky, their massive frames seemingly defying the laws of physics with each flap of their peculiar wings. He scratched his head in bewilderment.

"Hey look, how the hell is that thing flying with those small wings? I would never understand how monsters do things like that.

"

Erika, his twin sister and the Battle Queen, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Eric's comment.

"It has small wings all over its body,

" she replied matter-of-factly, her eyes focused on the approaching threat.

"And what are you doing here again? I thought you went to search for Angelica.

"

Eric let out a long-suffering sigh.

"I did. I mean, I didn't want to, but Mom kept bugging me about it.

" He threw a brief, dismissive glance at the group of struggling S-rank heroes.

"Angelica is not a kid. She can obviously handle herself in any situation. She's not even alive; she's a ghost! What could happen to her?

"

Erika glanced back at her brother, her tone laced with exasperation.

"I'm pretty sure Mom is worried about something else.

" She raised her sword, its blade gleaming with an otherworldly light.

"Anyway, you can back off. Maybe go help the civilians. I will deal with them.

"

Eric's eyes sparked with defiance.

"Yeah, not happening. I haven't got to fight in the last three days. My hands are itching to kill some monsters. You back off!

"

Erika couldn't help but smirk at her brother's determination.

"Not if you get a chance to even attack,

" she scoffed before rocketing into the sky, heading straight for the approaching monsters.

Erika's sword gleamed as she sliced through the air, her strikes a blur of precision and strength. Each move was a calculated dance of destruction. Eric, meanwhile, demonstrated his own prowess with fiery blasts, sending waves of scorching flames toward the monsters. Together, they formed an unstoppable team, a force to be reckoned with.

The monsters weren't to be underestimated either. They retaliated with fierce lunges, crushing blows, and potent energy attacks. But no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't match the sheer skill, experience, and coordination that the siblings displayed. Their attacks worked in harmony, covering each other's blind spots, and their movements were fluid as they dodged and countered with unrivaled finesse.

In a dazzling display of power, Erika used her sword to deflect an oncoming monster's devastating energy beam. The projectile harmlessly dissipated into the atmosphere. Eric, hovering in mid-air, seized the opportunity to conjure a maelstrom of flames. The scorching inferno engulfed a group of monsters, reducing them to ash within seconds.

As they battled the monsters, the group of S-rank heroes, who had earlier retreated in despair, watched in awe. Some nursed their wounds, while others had just arrived with fresh determination. The spectacle of Erika and Eric's heroics was nothing short of legendary.

Amid the chaos, the S-rank heroes who had retreated earlier watched in awe as Erika and Eric unleashed their incredible abilities. The twins' extraordinary teamwork and incredible strength were a sight to behold. They had turned the tide of the battle in an instant, shifting the momentum in the heroes' favor.

One of the S-rank heroes couldn't help but mutter in disbelief,

"Incredible... I've heard the legends, but seeing them in action is something else.

"
