Chapter 263 - 260 Fate IX

V.58 Fate IX

Arc knows he was running out of time. But he was determined to see this thing to the end. He will grab all those relics unless there are no other options than to flee.

"Guys go ahead and continue grabbing all those artifacts," unfortunately, the droids can't help with grabbing the artifact since they don't have storage options, so instead of helping they would just mess things up.

"Boss, you're not planning on fighting that thing right?" Said Biggs sounding very worried.

"Don't worry about I'll be fine, just grab everything here and join me after"

"Yes boss", and although he said that his voice is really forced he wishes he has several hands, so he can grab the relics several times faster.

"Lilly let's go," said Arc and despite Lilly was with Jem and was on a different floor. He is not worried Lilly won't be able to hear him.

And sure enough, as soon as he said it Lilly appeared in front of him.

"Boss it's time to fight the big lizard?"

Arc nodded. "Yey... Yey… hehehe. Lets goooo" shouted Lilly with her cute voice

Arc just smiles, well in fact despite the fact he didn't expect he would be fighting a Forgotten this early, he couldn't deny that he was excited about it.

But he won't be fighting it recklessly despite his adrenalin junky blood acting up.

So as soon as he gets out of the building, he summons his personal mech, and his warbots were actually the c.o.c.kpit of the mech. In other words, his mech is acting like additional armor of his warbot.

And in fact, his mech looks exactly like his warbots with only sightly additional features like additional hands and wings, other than that his mech and warbots look exactly alike.

And as soon as his mech appeared the Pope and the cardinals saw it. Giving them a shock.

But something happens that shocks Arc as well. Eve who was always beside him suddenly disappeared and right before him, he saw several droids merge with Eve's body and become bigger and bigger until it becomes as tall as his mech.

And on Eve's hands a Spear as black as a night, it's so black it almost looks like it was swallowing light. And on her back, wings made of black energy.

Arc gulp. "That's cool" He mumbles.

"Boss, what do thou think of my battle mode?" Eve said with a slight proud tone to her voice.

"So cool… when did you learn to do that?"

"Ever since I saw the droids combined and turn into the canon. It gives me an idea to use them to recreate my battle body."

"Ohh, good job Eve." Arc gives her a thumbs up.

"Big sister Eve so cool…" and since being on the mech Lilly looks even smaller in fact if not for the sword she was carrying it's very hard to see her with two big robot standing side by side.

"Eve also gives Lilly a thumbs up."

~These AI is getting more and more Human-like as they upgrade themselves ~ Arc said in his mind.

"Ehem. Specter you're not going to transform too right?"

"No boss I already have a body, I don't need another."

I see... ok, for some reason he sounded disappointed. But Specter and Eve didn't notice it.

"Well, then let's see this forgotten, Specter stays here for now until they finish grabbing all the relics." Yes, Boss!

Arc and Eve together with a cute mascot name Lilly went to travel to where the forgotten is coming out from, and all Top HOC member is on him. In fact, the Pope's and the Cardinals have broadcasted what was happening so that every HOC would know what to do since they are aware of the situations. Of course, the cardinals are making sure everything is under control.

Despite the fact, the pope wanted to order all HOC to join the battle but because of the early appearance of the forgotten, he knows having the HOC there or not would not make any difference. They will just be throwing their lives away, and even though he doesn't really care about their lives. He will not waste their lives for nothing. After all, Every member of HOC inside the Babel is a paladin, and creating a paladin is hard, it took many years to gather so many paladins they have now.

The speed of the mech is very fast in just a few minutes despite the distance between the vault and from where the forgotten is emerging is about several kilometers, but the mech was able to reach it very quickly despite not trying much. And in there he saw a massive formation about several hundred meters wide.

And in the center the forgotten is waiting, apparently, it was already out several minutes ago but despite that, it's not moving, yet. It just stood there like the rest of the faithless, it was unmoving.

"That's a Dragon? I mean a forgotten?" Clearly, it was not what Arc was expecting to look like. It was a bipedal lizard as big as a skyscr.a.p.er, that's right it was standing on two feet, not four. Which what he was expecting.

~Well, at least it has horns like a dragon, looks like the human of old is wrong about what a dragon looks like.~ said Arc in his mind a little disappointed.

The forgotten is about fifty meters tall, it has four wings made of scales that look like metal, by the way, they shine. And this forgotten is not like those faithless who look rotten and decomposing.

It has a huge and long-tail double the size of its body. And what surprised Arc the most is that it was wearing Armor, and it even has a weapon on its back. In other words, it looks like a giant lizard man with wings.

And another thing Arc saw intelligence in its eyes. That's right intelligence in other words this forgotten unlike those faithless is not dead, but very much alive.

"Mortal are you the one who awakens me!!" the forgot speaks with a voice like rumbling of thunder but despite that Arc was able to understand it, he didn't know why.

"Mortal do you know why I didn't attack you immediately?" the forgotten continues to speak.

Arc flew until the mech head is level with a giant head of the forgotten. But he keeps his distance.

"Forgotten, you are going to tell me right?" Said Arc who sounded very relax for some reason as soon as he saw the forgotten all his worry and anxiety just simply vanished.

The Pope and the rest of the HOC, it was the first time they heard the voice of their enemy.

"Thou are very brave mortal to appear before me without fear…" the forgotten continues to observe the mortal in front of him and despite Arc having inside the mech and warbots the forgotten can feel the source of his energy and knows he was mortal and not a machine.

"The reason I didn't attack is that you felt familiar to me. So I wanted to see why you feel so familiar…."

The forgotten continues to speak but before he could finish a cute and small voice and yet very clear interrupted his words.

"Heeeey!! Baby Big lizard where are your parents tell them to come out Lilly is here to punish them…" Lilly can be seen standing in front of the face of the forgotten with both her hands on her h.i.p.s despite one of them is holding a sword. She is so small she was like a fly, if not for her giant sword no one would pay attention to her.

And when Arc heard it he almost choked. "Baby... Big... Lizard?"
