Chapter 1816: Emil's Shock
RUMBLE! BOOOM! BAAAM!
The sound of explosions and clashing echoed across the huge laboratory right after Drake's family entered the underground area. At first they had to fight dozens of security robots that couldn't be hacked by Kate as quickly, and right in that moment, Drake decided to go to an adjacent room where he could sense a lot of the people responsible for everything.
While that happened, Benladann, Miranda, Benladra, Kate, and Drakda accompanying Emil moved to the right path after they decided to split with Drake who went to the left path. As they ran and inspected the rooms, filled with robots they had to destroy and runaway doctors that were quickly killed by Miranda and Benladann's long-ranged magic attacks and guns, Emil continued gasping for air.
It was already shocking he was seeing so many people dying today, but aside from that shock, something within him was beginning to awaken. His heart was beating super-fast, and even his head was hurting, constantly pulsating agonizingly.
"Ugh... Guh...!"
Suddenly, he fell to his knees, as Benladra noticed and ran towards him.
"Emil! What's wrong?!"
"Ugh... I feel so nauseous, something is coming out of my head... Argh!"
"E-Emil!"
Benladra quickly hugged the boy and imbued her powers into his body, healing him constantly so he wouldn't feel as much pain.
"Ah! Aah..."
Emil sighed in relief, the pain was almost gone, but whenever Benladra stopped healing, it would return even more painfully.
"T-Thank you Benla- GUH?!
BA DUM!
His heart started beating even faster as suddenly...
"It hurts...!"
BA DUM!
"My body... I can't feel it..."
BA DUM!
"Why... WHY?!"
BA DUM!
"My blood is drained every day..."
BA DUM!
"I'm nothing but a sack of blood to them..."
BA DUM!
"Why was I born?"
BA DUM!
"It hurts so much... I want to die... make it stop!"
As the bullet reached Benladra's head, the girl acted, immediately releasing her breath and blasting the bullet, completely melting it before her draconic flames.
"What?!"
BOOOM!
The woman was forced to step back as the flames reached her and blew her away from Benladra, her Psychic Hold quickly turning off as Benladra grabbed Emil and spread out her
wings, flying away.
"That woman's dangerous!" Benladra thought. "I was able to escape because I surprised her, it won't happen a second time! I have to regroup with mom and the rest-"
"Where are you going little dragon?"
However, out of nowhere, Benladra saw the woman right in front of her as she ran. It wasn't teleportation or something either!
"H-Huh?!"
As she turned to the other side of the corridor, she saw the woman standing there...
It was as if she had gone through a whole loop within the same building, returning to her!
"What the...? Eh?"
Her brain was trying to process what was happening, be it an illusion or something, she
couldn't tell!
"Once I Lock-On a target, they never escape from me."
The woman imbued Psychic Energy into the rifle, as she made the bullet inside spin at
lightning speed.
"{Crimson Ricochet}"
BOOOM!
And Benladra was engulfed by a crimson explosion of flames and psychic energy.
The girl desperately covered her body with her scales and reinforced them, the space was simply too narrow to transform, she would risk destroying the entire laboratory.
"Ugh...!"
She was thrown away, rolling over the floor, her wounds were severe, burning her arms and
legs and showing the red meat beneath her skin and scales.
However, her Pseudo Immortal Body kicked in, rapidly regenerating the wounds almost
instantly!
"You're a tough nut to crack..."
The red-haired cowboy woman walked towards Benladra calmly and composed.
"Well, I like having my fun."
