Metamorphosis (2)
Wooooooooooong!!
[Director Zelic is beginning to exert his strength.]
Unlike the reactor, which had lost communication, contact with Felix, who was still confronted at the back gate of the fortress, was safe.
[We are looking for the person who created this thunderbolt. They must be planning to get away from us and head inside the fort. I’ll try to tie my feet here as much as possible.]
Felix continued without waiting for Lennok’s answer.
[If a talented person like him tries to get out of the seat with all his might, it won’t be easy to catch his feet. It might be difficult to contact them from now on.]
“... ... .”
[I’ll leave the rest up to you.]
Pop!!
At the same time as the communication stopped with those words, the collision of magical powers felt from the lower deck became much more violent.
Felix, who is a key executive in the Antares office and has completed the hierarchy with his powerful body, began to clash with Director Jelicich with all his might.
Lennok lifted his gaze without a word, feeling the power of that magic with his whole body.
Gate 8 is still firmly closed despite this uproar. But there are no more Barclays and commanding officers left to hinder Lennok.
The only thing left is for Lennok to go inside the fortress himself, see the truth of all this with his own eyes, and successfully capture the fortress.
There was no time to hesitate.
“Shall we go?”
Clap!
A rechargeable shotgun in Lennok’s hand at the same time as turning his wrist.
The barrel of the shotgun filled with heavy mana radiated intense light, and at the same time as he pulled the trigger, the thick iron door of the gate was bent like a piece of paper.
Kwaaaaang!!
One more step.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Two rechargeable magic bullets amplified by the 8-stack shooting auxiliary magic burst.
It was impossible for the empty gate to withstand the power that would turn even the body of a person with physical abilities into meat.
The iron doors that were firmly closed on both sides shrank, allowing a gap in the center for one person to pass through.
At the same time as Lennok pushed himself through the narrow gap, the guards waiting inside the gate hallway started pulling their triggers in unison.
Tatatatatatatatatatang!!!
“Shoot!!!”
“Kill the wizard!!”
“We have to block it right here, stay alert and maintain the front line... ... !!”
Woooo!!
There was no desperation from the guards.
This is because the unidentified carapace that came down suddenly blocked the entire gate corridor and deflected all the bullets.
“This is... ... ?”
At the moment the guard holding the rifle stammered, huge flames flowed out from between the carapaces and filled the corridor.
Using the heat wave bursting from behind as a stepping stone, the carapace blocking the corridor moved forward like a bulldozer.
The outer shell that made up the body of Apostle Walter. Its durability is overwhelming enough to be difficult to melt even with the flames of Lennok’s magnetic realm.
A pile of carapaces of unbelievable durability and weight moves forward, crushing the guards into pieces.
Eugeo support!!!
A grotesque sound of flesh and muscle bursting and a desperate scream erupted.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Step back!! I can’t stop it!!”
“Save me!!!”
The pursuit of the pile of carapaces pushing heavily from behind the movements slowed down by the continuous heat wave.
The guards somehow tried to find an escape route and run back, but it was not enough.
In an instant, Lennok, who wiped out the guards waiting near the gate, moved forward without hesitation.
As long as Major General Barclay, who commanded the inside of the fortress, dies and other generals and colonels struggle, there is no one capable of stopping Lennok.
Gearside modified guards surrounded Lennok and tried their best to somehow stop them heading to the control room.
It was only burned and exploded while being pierced by the spear of thunder and lightning that appeared behind Lennok.
Kwagwagwagwa!!
A huge wave of flame spread like a wave and swelled along the gradually widening corridor.
In the meantime, the flashing light became a sharp dagger, piercing the vital points of the guard convulsing in flames and tearing the superman’s body apart.
A few of them, full of will and talent, broke through the fierce firepower and ran towards Lenok, but the shotgun and revolver barrels rotated alternately, and even the last resistance was completely subdued.
“Aaaaagh!!”
“The Lord is dying... ... !”
Asked Lennok, who grabbed and lifted the tearful officer by the collar with a magician.
“Lieutenant General Treffen. Where are you now?”
“that that... ... ”
“Answer me.”
“To the office inside the control room... ... From yesterday... ... Don’t let anyone in... ... black!!”
The officer’s face shuddered and shed tears. However, what is felt in that expression is not the fear of death.
Despair for the coup d’état, which risked all the safety and status of the National Guard, to end in vain.
Those who were closest to Treffen’s final instructions must have already guessed their outcome.
“... ... .”
I released the magician and put down the secretary’s body.
Lennok ignored them and headed straight into the control room.
Dozens of monitors popping up everywhere. Thousands of wires that run inside are intricately twisted. Through one glass window, the view of the lowest floor of the fortress comes into view.
And the commander’s office, furthest inside the control room.
Quaang!!
Lennok frowned as he smashed the door down without hesitation with shock magic and rushed inside.
A bed awkwardly placed in the middle of an empty office.
The old man was lying on a bed that stood at an angle, his eyes closed and foaming at his mouth.
Beneath his gray hair, all the veins on his forehead were bursting, and the black bloodstains that flowed from his eyes and nose covered his face.
A star hanging from the epaulettes of the military uniform he was wearing. Dozens of thick plug wires plugged into the back of the neck.
There is only one possibility that you can think of if you look at the status and background of being in this position now.
The fortress commander that all allies have been searching for with all their might. Lieutenant General Treffen had completely stopped breathing.
Pod!
Despite the unexpected scenery, Lennok did not hesitate.
Immediately, he unplugged all the wires connected to the back of the lieutenant general’s head and turned to the inside to wink at Darby.
Despite recognizing the risk of physically pulling out the wires, he thought he had to prevent the work from proceeding as intended by the lieutenant general.
Darby jumped up in his arms and clung to the broken wire behind the lieutenant general’s neck, interrupting the signal and immediately shaking his head.
[Signal Lost. I don’t feel any electrical stimulation. There is nothing from the body’s life reaction, nor from the connected wires.]
Lennok, who grasped the situation in an instant, frowned.
“You are dead. That too after quite a while.”
[Rigidity after death has fully progressed, but is gradually being released. If you estimate the time of death, it’s enough a day ago. Twenty hours have passed at any rate.]
Lennok counted the time quickly and frowned.
“It’s before we even materialize the entry route. To be specific, right after we arrived in the city... ... . It’s way too early to give the odds.
[Couldn’t it be that he failed to remodel his body unlike the others?]
Darby said.
[Lieutenant General Treppen’s body is very strong, but he is a very old man. There is a possibility that the considerable age may have been a problem.]
It is not an improbable guess.
In fact, the fact that Lieutenant General Treffen’s corpse remains here proves his end.
But Lennok looked blankly at Treffen’s corpse and shook his head.
“... ... No, if he did, Barclay couldn’t have said that before he died. The lieutenant general died less than 20 hours ago. It’s ridiculous that the other wardens didn’t know about this.”
[then... ... .]
“The tilt of this bed could be... ... .”
Lennok strode over to the bed and opened Treffen’s chest.
A well-built, muscular upper body despite his advanced age. However, that is why the hole in the center of the chest stands out even more bizarrely.
Even Davi muttered in a startled tone.
[He doesn’t have a heart.]
“This is what Barclay meant.”
Lennok murmured.
“Lieutenant General Treffen did not choose body modification like the other wardens. He did it with the intention of abandoning his own body and changing into a new body entirely.”
[that is... ... Is this possible for life?]
“It’s clear that only the heart was taken out. He must have been thinking of reconstructing the body by recovering only some of the most important vital organs. Maybe... ... .”
said Lennok, who slowly raised his head.
“Maybe he’s already been revived and is watching us.”
[That was the only chance given to me.]
Aaaaaaah!!
At the same time as he said that, dozens of monitors that had been shining everywhere began to emit light at once.
