American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 330 The Incarnation of Fear
A FEAR member slung a rocket over his shoulder in a corner and aimed at Madison, intending to take down the person who posed the greatest threat to the FEAR team, while Madison remained completely unaware.

The next second, the man-portable rocket let out a sharp whistle and flew towards Madison, leaving a long trail of smoke.

Madison looked at the man-portable rocket in horror; the destructive power of this explosive weapon was something even her willpower could not completely block.

But Zoe was bringing the injured Maria back to the hotel, and Madison was the only obstacle in their path.

So Madison closed his eyes and unleashed his full mental energy field, preparing to sacrifice himself to buy time for Zoe and Maria.

"Zoe, get down right now!"

However, the expected explosion did not occur. When Madison opened his eyes, he saw an angel with six wings of light standing in front of him, holding the rocket in one hand.

"Roy!"

Madison was overjoyed; she felt safe as long as Roy was there.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Zoe and I are both fine, but Maria was shot!"

Upon hearing that Maria had been shot, Roy became somewhat angry and threw Carrie, who was now a mangled mess, to Madison.

“Remove the amulet from Carrie and put Carrie’s soul back in.”

"Ok!"

After making his move, Royten crushed the rocket he was holding on the spot.

Boom!

The explosion of the individual rocket did not harm Roy in the slightest; in fact, due to the protective aura, not even a speck of dust fell.

This terrified the FEAR team members, as the man-portable rocket was theoretically their most powerful weapon.

If even individual weapons can't harm Roy, then the only option is to try using missiles, but FEAR only has armored vehicles and doesn't have the right to use missiles.

But at that moment, the terrified FEAR team members heard their commander speak again.

"Keep firing!"

At this point, not only Roy and Madison found it strange, but even the other FEAR members began to suspect that the commander was mentally ill.

Is firing at an enemy like that just asking for death?

Although FEAR members have stronger willpower than ordinary soldiers and have experienced some supernatural events, it doesn't mean they are willing to throw their lives away for nothing.

"Who is your commander?"

Roy's icy gaze swept over the FEAR members around him, sending a chill down their spines. It was as if a single glance had plunged them all into icy water.

For a moment, whether out of fear or some other reason, none of the FEAR team members answered Roy's question.

"No one's answering? Great!"

Roy took a step forward, and instantly a dark wave swept across the entire battlefield.

An ancient, primal fear plunged all FEAR members into darkness, and some of the weaker-willed ones went into a frenzy, indiscriminately attacking everyone around them.

In a short time, FEAR suffered heavy losses.

This was Roy's first time using the Avatar of Fear ability, and he never expected it to work so well, wiping out an entire FEAR unit.

Moreover, the upgraded Avatar of Fear has an extremely terrifying range; with Roy's current abilities, it's enough to cover a large city under its effect.

Judging from the power displayed by the incarnation of fear, it should be able to easily kill millions of people.

This power is truly terrifying!
Roy withdrew his ability as the Avatar of Fear and quickly found a commander lying in a pool of blood near the assault vehicle.

This guy's uniform is different from other FEAR members; he must be a commander.

However, the commander was unlucky; he seemed to have been hit in the spine by a missile and was now lying on the ground, his fate unknown.

Those who can serve as FEAR field commanders are usually senior FEA agents. For a senior agent to fall into this state, things seem to be getting serious.

To prevent the situation from escalating further, Roy activated his Aura of Courage and Aura of Vitality.

We can't afford to let these FEAR team members suffer any major casualties, otherwise Roy, who was originally in the right, will become in the wrong.

The Aura of Courage can dispel the effects of the Avatar of Fear, while the Aura of Vitality can keep these FEAR members alive.

Then, Roy took out his phone and started contacting Gerald.

"Mr. Orin, something has happened to me!"

After briefly explaining the situation, Gerald said he would immediately report to FEA headquarters so that Roy's side could agree on a consistent story and not take any further rash actions.

“I understand, Mr. Orin. But I must clarify, my friend is injured, so I am very angry right now!”

He hung up the phone abruptly, giving Gerald no chance to continue speaking.

We need to make our stance clear, otherwise the FEA might really take Roy for a fool.

However, Roy showed a bit of his strength today, so the FEA headquarters shouldn't be that foolish.

Moreover, Elise is currently at the FEA headquarters in New York State.

"Roy, come quickly and check on Maria! She seems to be getting weaker and weaker!"

"I am coming!"

Roy returned to the hotel.

Maria was lying on a sofa, with Madison and Zoe surrounding her, Zoe casting some kind of healing spell on Maria.

Given Roy's ongoing aura of vitality, Maria should theoretically be safe.

"What happened to Maria?"

"It seems a bullet hit Zoe's heart. Although I used healing magic to keep her alive, as long as the bullet is still in her heart, she will only get weaker and weaker."

Zoe was in tears; Maria had been shot while trying to save her.

Upon hearing this, Roy frowned deeply.

A bullet wound to the heart cannot be healed by the body alone; surgery is necessary to remove the bullet, and it must be done quickly.

Otherwise, Maria's heart might stop beating under the constant pressure of the bullets.

But it's the middle of the night, where can you find a doctor who can remove a bullet from your heart?

Doctors of this caliber are rare even in big cities, let alone in a small city like this.

At that moment, Madison suddenly spoke up.

"Roy, let me do it!"

Roy looked at Madison, not expecting him to say that.

"Madison, are you sure?"

Theoretically, Madison's telekinesis could indeed remove the bullet from Maria's body, but this is an extremely delicate task.

Madison's previous development of telekinesis was achieved through sheer brute force, and Roy was unsure if Madison could replicate it.

"I will definitely do it! I definitely will!"

"Alright, Madison, you perform the surgery on Maria, and Zoe, you maintain Maria's vital signs. I will take care of creating a quiet surgical environment for you."

As for Carrie, Madison had successfully returned her soul to her body, but due to the recent outburst, she was still not fully conscious. Madison took a deep breath, trying to encourage herself.

"I will do it! I definitely can do it!"

Roy silently enhanced Madison's courage, protection, and vitality aura effects, while also stabilizing Maria's vital signs.

After mentally preparing herself, Madison placed her hand on Maria's chest so that she could better feel the bullet lodged in Maria's heart.

With his eyes closed, Madison entered a state of unprecedented focus.

"I sensed the bullet inside Maria's heart!"

"Then take it out!"

A moment later, Madison frowned again.

"But Maria's heart has been restored, and I can't find the bullet hole in her heart!"

The Vitality Aura combined with Zoe's healing magic actually healed Maria's wounds, which in turn made Madison's current surgery more difficult.

This required Madison to forcefully control the bullet to penetrate Maria's heart again, then pass through her body and be removed.

Madison had not received professional medical training, so he did not know where to remove the bullet to minimize damage to Maria.

"Madison, be decisive! Don't drag this out any longer!"

If the bullet remains lodged in Maria's heart, it could cause a severe rejection reaction, which could be even more fatal.

"I understand!"

Madison gritted his teeth and then exerted a sudden burst of strength.

With a thud, the bullet flew out of Maria's chest, hit the ceiling, and fell to the ground.

Maria suffered another massive hemorrhage from her chest, and Zoe frantically tried to stop the bleeding, but witchcraft didn't seem to be very effective at stopping bleeding.

Fortunately, Roy placed his hand on Maria's chest, and the healing power of his angel form began to take effect, with Maria's wounds starting to stop bleeding and heal at a visible speed.

After doing all this, Maria's breathing began to stabilize, and she seemed to be out of danger.

However, Roy wasn't a doctor and couldn't determine Maria's specific condition.

"Madison, call an ambulance and take Mariah and Carrie to the hospital for observation!"

"Ok!"

Madison and Zoe were taking care of Maria and Carrie, while Roy walked out of the hotel toward the FEAR positions outside.

Seeing Roy, who appeared to be an angel but was as terrifying as a demon, approach, some of the FEAR members who had regained their senses were once again gripped by fear.

Although Roy didn't actually use the ability to become the embodiment of fear, just seeing him was enough to terrify the already collapsing FEAR team members.

“You don’t need to be afraid. I just want to know why you’re here tonight and why you attacked my friend.”

The on-site commander was shot in the spine and fell to the ground. Even with the healing from the Vitality Aura, it would be difficult to regain consciousness from such an injury.

After all, the nervous system is far more complex than the heart, and Roy wasn't even sure if the commander would ever be able to stand up and speak normally again.

Fortunately, a mobile force like FEAR cannot have only one commander; otherwise, if the commander were to die unexpectedly, the command system would be completely paralyzed.

"I'm your adjutant, are you sure you won't hurt us?"

A FEAR member stepped forward; his uniform was somewhat distinctive, though not very obvious, indicating that his rank was slightly higher than the others.

“If I wanted to kill you all, I could have done it just now, I wouldn’t have had to wait until now.”

The adjutant fell silent.

Indeed, Roy's ability to manifest fear was enough to wipe out the entire FEAR unit; in fact, it could be said that the FEAR unit's morale and fighting spirit had been destroyed.

Even if the physical injuries of these FEAR members can be fully healed, the emotional trauma Roy inflicted on them will never be cured.

Ultimately, it is estimated that he will not be able to pass the psychologist's evaluation and will have to retire to a second-tier position.

"you're right."

The adjutant chose to believe Roy, even if he didn't, he had no other choice.

"Tell me, why did your unit come here to deploy?"

The assault vehicles on site formed a makeshift position, clearly indicating that FEAR had been lying in ambush there for some time.

However, when Roy transformed into an angel and flew away, he was so focused on tracking Carrie that he neglected the situation below.

Otherwise, Roy would definitely have taken care of the FEAR forces first before tracking Carrie.

"The department received a report from an agent that a dangerous supernatural creature had killed mid-level agent Saga Anderson, so the higher-ups ordered us to capture this dangerous supernatural creature."

Roy:? ? ?
Could this dangerous supernatural being be referring to himself?

Although I am indeed in a rather dangerous situation.

Wait!
“You just said Saga Anderson is dead? That’s impossible! I did have a conflict with this guy, but I’m certain she wasn’t dead at the time! Was it Jack Schnetter who reported the intelligence to the Seattle field office? How did he report to your department?”

The adjutant was taken aback by Roy's rapid-fire questions, and it took him a while to sort out his thoughts and answer Roy.

“The specific content of the report is not something we FEAR personnel can know. However, Jack Schnetter, who reported the intelligence, seemed to have been right next to the commander just now. Why don’t you ask him directly?”

"What about the others?"

Yes, where is that person?

The adjutant searched around the commander's area but found neither Jack Schneider nor his body.

The anxious adjutant immediately gathered all the surviving FEAR members and tried to identify Jack Schneider from among all the wounded or dead teammates.

But this person vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace.

Given the fact that the on-site commander had suddenly issued completely contradictory orders, even the most clueless adjutant would realize that something was wrong.

"Sir, we can't find Jack Schneider. Could you please treat the wounded first?"

At this time, a large number of ambulances were already parked near the hotel, but without Roy's permission, the adjutant dared not make any rash moves.

Roy had just tried to track Jack Schneider with the hound's ring, but failed.

According to the adjutant, Jack Schneider should not have been missing for long and should not have been able to escape the tracking range of the Hellhound Phantom so quickly.

Unless this guy has similar physical abilities to Roy, or can fly.

However, if Jack Schneider's physical abilities were truly that good, he wouldn't have needed to run away.

The only explanation is that this guy isn't actually Jack Schneider, but someone else in disguise.

"I didn't stop you! To tell you the truth, I'm also an FEA agent, belonging to the Los Angeles FEA field office."

The adjutant was struck dumb, never expecting that Roy would be one of his own.

"How could this be?"

Shaking his head, Roy didn't continue to supervise the adjutant, but returned to the hotel to help get Maria and Carrie into the ambulance.

At that moment, Roy suddenly remembered a question: Where is Jennifer?
Madison

　Starting tomorrow, I will resume updating three times a day.
