Chapter 316

Metamorphosis (1)

“We know that Lieutenant General Treppen colluded with Gearside to plot a coup.”

Lennok brushed off the fumes from the revolver’s muzzle and thrust the muzzle into Barclay’s forehead.

Chi profit!!

The heated muzzle began to burn the skin on the warden’s forehead.

“Keugh... ... !!”

“And that they might be trying to reproduce the failure of the Gate of Ascension.”

“... ... .”

“If the lieutenant general is really making an attempt to escape from humans at this point, it would be natural for him to not be able to appear here.”

Lennok knows. The answer to all these questions you are asking now is already out there.

Barclay looked up at Lennok’s face and shook his head with a dejected expression.

“It’s already too late. The Commander had already accepted the proposal of the cogs a long time ago.”

“... ... When are you talking about?”

Instead of answering Lennok’s words, he turned his head away.

“Isn’t that a fool?”

Barclay asked, staring down at the scenery below deck.

“Even though he completed the seven stages of self-change and became a strong person that everyone looked up to... ... . We are still only human.”

“... ... .”

“The commander didn’t trust that fact. And I believed that if I escaped from being a human and reached level 8, the National Guard would be treated with extreme power, which is extremely rare even in the city.”

The empty gazes of Lennok and Barclay met.

“They acted like they could bring the commander everything he wanted. The lieutenant general could not resist the temptation. That’s all.”

“The lieutenant general joined the dream of ascension in the body of a machine?”

Lennok asked.

“Did Treffen really believe that was possible?”

“... ... .”

Barclay said nothing more.

He just closed his eyes as if he had intuited his own end.

Lennox also recognized Barclay’s answer from that posture and nodded.

Clap!

Turn the cylinder once and pull the ball.

Barclay opened his eyes, accepting the sensation of the hot muzzle stuck between his forehead.

Lennok did not avert his gaze until the end and pulled the trigger.

Taang!

A gunshot rang out, and purple chains flew away in the air.

There was the sound of something dull collapsing back onto the deck.

Lennok slowly turned his back, remembering the moment with his eyes.

Darby, who watched the scene without saying anything, asked.

[Are you going to enter the fort right away?]

Darby hacked into the central control system and temporarily knocked the fortress off balance, so he easily killed Barclay, but as a result,

he blew the opportunity to intervene in the system, and the firewall was renewed. it has become

In this state, in order to take control of the fortress again, you will have to enter the control room and start hacking the internal authority.

But Lennok shook his head even though he was aware of that fact.

“There is still work to be done.”

coo!!

I use shock magic to clear away the wreckage of tanks and supplies boxes scattered around the area, and then proceed to the inside of the deck.

A huge cylindrical pillar located further inside after passing Gate 8, which was once blocked.

Dozens of giant plugs the size of an adult male are inserted around the pillars, and the thick lines are digging all the way down the deck.

said Darby, who immediately recognized the identity of the object.

[It’s an external power converter on the mobile fortress deck. why this... ... ?]

“I remembered the movements of the other commanders while firing tank shells in rows on the deck. It’s just that they’re trying to protect it so that no debris gets in the vicinity of this thing.”

Lennok, who inhaled deeply the smoke from the beginning of the year, answered.

[That means... ... .]

“This one power converter is probably proof that it’s working normally even on deck. Charging mobile fortress power source using nuclear reactor. It is a key part that is responsible for a part of it.”

This is probably why Major General Barclay and some of his commanders were guarding this place.

And with such an energy concentrate, there were plenty of ways to use it against a wizard like Lennok.

charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

“I am grateful for the contributions of the people in the vanguard, but if you are distracted like this on the battlefield... ... .”

Kwagagagak!!

In the meantime, Aris’ magic power was constantly alive and moving, catching shyuyu pouring from all directions, pouring and freezing towards the enemy in front of her eyes.

“sorry.”

“I’ll go ahead and put my body on the line.”

“Fire support, please. going!”

There was no freelancer who was brave enough to refuse the 7th level Astral Wizard’s request for cooperation.

Aris, who was staring at the backs of the freelancers running toward the fort, glanced up at the sky.

A countless rain of lightning rising from the fortress deck and pouring down.

A miraculous feast that was even beautiful at first glance.

Her blue eyes watch the flow of lightning flashing in the sky.

Others would simply accept that Lennok had used magic and accept the situation.

However, Aris, who had completed her own image and built the realm, knew how ridiculously the rain of lightning created by Lennok was operating.

‘It’s not a one-time bombardment that pours and ends. I designed a magical flow chart throughout the sky and applied rotation and divergence to the limit to increase durability.’

Aris’ gaze sank deeply.

‘It’s not the amount of magic that can be handled even by completing the hierarchy. The reason why the wide-area magic of the lightning system, which has a short sustaining power, can be increased to this extent... ... .’

A converter that was charged on the fort deck. It must be possible because the electricity stored in it is used as a power source.

No matter at least 10 minutes.

During that time, no defenders would be able to dodge the plumes of lightning falling between the forts.

And it was the same story that applied to the two wardens who were now blocking the vicinity of the fort.

“No matter what the fuck, nothing is going right.”

Between reactor core storage boxes collapsing with lightning plumes falling from all sides.

Alban spat out the phlegm stuck in his throat and spat out a double curse.

“I didn’t believe everything those nerds said, but I couldn’t even be a test subject for the nerds who only delved into theories.”

“For things like that, you guys seem to have used Gearside’s technology very well.”

Weeing!!

Ilya calmly replied, holding two super-vibrating spears floating behind her in both hands.

“I never thought that even general-level superintendents would accept such reckless body modification... ... . Aren’t you afraid of losing your humanity?”

“what? It seems you know something about them. No one has ever asked such a thing before.”

“... ... .”

Seeing Illya not answering, Director Alburn grinned.

The appearance of a strange magical light leaking through the cracked skin was already slightly out of line with the human form.

“Humanity... ... . It’s nice to say, but I don’t feel any inspiration from my point of view, having lived as a soldier for nearly 20 years.”

“Humanity does not simply mean temper or character.”

Illya, who infused magical power into the spear, stepped out to the side and answered.

“The minimum standard for defining oneself as a creature must exist somewhere, and losing it is like cutting one’s own heart.”

“... ... .”

“Are you ready to accept the wear and tear of your image?”

“Roughly?”

Alban said sullenly and started walking together.

“They said you could just fill in the missing parts with other parts.”

“... ... .”

“A machine has a machine mind. Since the Commander decided to follow the rules, shouldn’t we be together?”

“You guys... ... . You’re not even a soldier anymore.”

“It was like that a long time ago. Everyone knew about it, but I was just trying to deny it.”

Clap!!

A gauntlet that emits a heavy noise as if it were being reloaded at the same time it raised its elbow.

Raising his heavy iron-clad fist, Alban turned to Ilya and muttered.

“So let’s make a decision soon. I want to see what our commander will decide in the end.”

A level 7 physical person who has completed the hierarchy. Combat experience cultivated through decades of service, and even body modification combined with Gearside’s technological prowess.

But more than anything else, what makes Alburn strong is the strong mental strength itself that can laugh at this bleak reality with no future in sight.

The words are spitting out like a hanryang, but loyalty to the commander will not be broken even if it is broken.

It was clear that it was not an easy opponent.

Illya silently cast her gaze toward the roof of the destroyed reactor.

It’s a pity, but his limit was to tie up Alburn here.

All that remains is to be left to the owner of the thunderbolt that now covers the entire sky.
