Ivan received the attack from Lucia head-on, as he covered himself on his large shield made of his bony growths coming from his arms!
BOOOMMM!!!
Lucia noticed that her flames were not able to calcinate such strong bone structure, a growth made by the power of Uroboros.
Uroboros was the super evolved form of the Virus Z, with the power to regenerate flesh and also to shape it, to form mutations at will through provoking cancerous deformities in the body, however, unlike mutants, the user was able to also heal these cancerous growths at will, being able to easily use them as weapons that can retract.
There are many types of cancers and viruses capable of forming all sorts of tumors through the duplication of malign cells, Uroboros uses this logic to enhance Ivan Wesker's capacities beyond a human through the ability to shapeshift his body into amorphous forms.The power to manipulate his body also came with bones included, growing bones at will and reinforcing them with a large quantity of strength and resilience was possible, by loading the bones with other types of minerals in the environment or even the iron of the blood, it was possible to make bony growths as hard and resistant as steel, if not even better thanks to Ivan taking many types of boosters, special concoctions that enhanced his body and his manipulation over Uroboros even more than before.
With this, he was able to enhance the durability to be able to resist even the flames of a Pyromancer-Class Esper such as Lucia!
"When your flames are useless, you're nothing but a petty girl."
Ivan quickly reached up to Lucia, as his blade arms were about to slice through her body!
SLASH!
CLASH!
However, what stopped him was Chris, who used the super-reinforced shield that some of the soldier carried to defend against Ivan's attack!This shield had been tested to even have the ability to resist acid, so it was obviously capable of withstanding Ivan's arm blades! Although they left scratch over it quite easily!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Chris, don't get on my way, I will quickly take care of you later!" said Ivan.
"Come on, for old time's sake, why don't you try to take me down first?" asked Chris provocatively, as he wanted Ivan to put all his attention to him!
Ivan clicked his tongue as his rage against Chris grew larger by the second as he attacked him using his blade arms and began to slice through the shield more and more!
Chris used his guns, shooting down at the Russian scientist whenever he lowered his guard and showed clear openings, shooting him a few times with normal explosive bullets, which seemed to explode but leave Ivan almost unscathed!
"I cannot use the anti-Uroboros bullet yet, only one of them means that there'll not be another chance if I fail. I have to do this precisely and like a pro, or I will end up digging my own grave… I have to have patience…!" thought Chris.
He ordered all other troops to initiate fire against them from the sidelines, while Ivan concentrated himself on Chris, as he was very enraged by his words to even care about anything else!
"Fine! If you want to die so badly, let me give you the honor!" roared Ivan, suddenly he enhanced his legs strength and kicked Chris to the side with an inhuman strength!
BOOOOM!!!
"Uaggh!"
CLASH!
Chris fell over the floor, the strength of the kick was so powerful that he ended being hit in the wall behind him and leaving cracks in the wall, that his spine was fine was a miracle, probably caused by the nanobots enhancing him to superhuman levels as well.
As Ivan saw Chris standing up, he couldn't help but think that something odd was going on in here. He recalled how he had fought him several times before but Chris had never attempted to fight him too close, and always used weaponry to attack him.
But now? He was charging head on! Was there some sort of ability or power he had developed? But how! That wasn't possible, there was no way Chris would had acquired the Virus Z when he's such a purist over the usage of such a power!
"What did you do to your body, Chris?" asked Ivan.
"Heh, you better find out yourself." Said Chris.
Ivan and Chris once more began to clash against one another, as Ivan tried to slice him up while Chris defended himself using his shield, he punched back Ivan from time to time, his punches felt as if they were made of metal instead of the former hit, and they even carried some sort of shockwave that released a bit of electricity! He had never felt like this when he fought a human before!
"You've grown into someone completely superhuman, haven't you, Chris Bluefield?" asked Ivan.
"Not like its anything to do with you, friend, don't let yourself get involved with what's not of your incumbence." Said Chris.
"Heh, you cheap bastard!" said Ivan.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
Ivan aggressively pounced against Chris with all the strength he could muster, while Ivan kept a distance and continued attacking occasionally, often sometimes managing to deal a great amount of damage, until the shield finally broke.
CRAAASH!
The bullets that were falling over Ivan were not even affecting him, but the flames of Lucia were, however, as Chris shield broke, Ivan finally went into a more offensive form and roared angrily. His arms turned into tentacles with blade son their tips, and he began to slash through his enemy with great speed!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Unngh…!"
Chris gritted his teeth as he was being pushed back by Ivan, he was trying to convey his words into his fists as well, as he suddenly evaded one of Ivan's blows and moved swiftly, using the martial arts he had learned in the organization, and punching the middle of the face of such a man!
CLAAASH!
"Y-You…!" muttered Ivan in utter fury!
