Chapter 204: Fine, I’ll do it myself

"Oh? So you're willing to talk now? Tell me, did those two manage to kill him or not?"

"First YOU tell me! How did you find out about him?!" Asked Kyrin.

'Wily bitch!' Axel realized what Kyrin was doing! She was fishing for more information! It seems that previously, she thought she would interrogate him after beating him, or interrogate Axel directly. But with Axel's tight lips and Karlock's loud mouth, she has changed her plans.

"Khekhekhekhe..." And, seems she was right too, as the moronic geek actually stopped attacking them temporarily. "Oh? Are you surprised? The Kraken managed to find someone that the kingdom didn't even know the existence of. In fact, we were surprised too! Those two were originally dispatched on a different mission. But guess who they find? A boy who with an uncanny re—"

Suddenly, one of the Giant's legs started to crumple, causing it to tilt to one side.

"WHAT?!"

Karlock suddenly found out that, but the Biomatons that constituted the bottom of his leg suddenly went offline, going completely out of his control!

"What is happening?!" Karlock couldn't understand what was happening! This has never happened before! He quickly had to readjust the alignment of the remaining Biomatons to stop his colossal giant from falling.

"What the hell is going on?!"

But before he could stabilize it, this time, the units on his other leg went offline, causing the colossal giant to fall.

'The bigger they are, the harder they fall.' Thought Axel, dusting off his hands, watching the Giant fall.

How did he do it? He had used a special skill he had gotten a while ago. After saving Martina's life at the Valentino residence, he had gotten a special skill as a reward from the system: [Unshackle]

Only, he hadn't been able to use it until now. What to say? There had never been a suitable opportunity. What kinds of shackles could he not undo? But only when training it further did he realize, the term [shackles] was a broad term. It could mean a lot of things.

Like right now. All these Biomatons aren't really taking actions on their own. They're all under Karlock's control, who is controlling them from his lab. How is he doing that? Through connections. Axel had to break that connection while the magic of his skill, and these biomatons would be completely useless.

'Fuck, who called this skill useless?!'

Axel realized the various uses this skill could have and blamed himself for not training it more as he continuously moved around, 'unshackling' the biomatons from Karlock's control.

In his control room, Karlock was going mad as he lost control of his units one after another! He scoured the area around his leg, but found nothing! There was no action from the rest of the crew either!

"Wait..." Karlock suddenly found something odd. "Where is the boy with the glasses?!"

He realized that he could only confirm the positions of five of their members. He couldn't get the visual on the sixth member, the guy who had been wearing Nerio's glasses in the first place. At some point, the boy had disappeared from his perception!

"How is that possible?!"

Kyrin gritted her teeth. "Hey! What were you saying earlier?!" She yelled out. "Tell me quickly, and I'll answer your questions!"

But did Karlock really have the leisure to chat right now? The control on his Biomatons was slipping in real time. No matter how talkative he was, his giant was falling!

"Keep him distracted boss! Your plan is working!" As if to make things worse, Axel's voice rang out at this moment, cutting away any remaining doubt Karlock had.

"YOU! TENEBROUS! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRUSTED YOU!" He exclaimed, enraged, as more and more units began falling. "Stop your attack right now/!"

On the other hand, Kyrin, who was completely innocent, had an unbelievable expression on her face. 'What...?!' She couldn't understand how Axel was even able to do it, let alone how to stop him.

*BOOM*

At this moment, she saw Aki joyfully attacking the fallen giant, raining down an eerie dark lightning. Akiko was, of course, fully in favour of attacking rather than talking. She was no stranger to Axel's miracles either. So, instead of freezing up like the rest, she finally took the opportunity to strike.

"Are the rest of you going to keep watching or help out?" Axel's voice rang out, causing the rest of the members to flinch. All of them were simply too stunned to react until now. In fact, they were out of sync with the whole from the moment Karlock called out Axel's name.

But really, when it came down to it, only one thing mattered. Karlock was an enemy, a dangerous enemy, who should be defeated as soon as possible. And as veterans, they knew that this was the best opportunity to do so.

"No training?!" Sylthia's earlier doubts returned. "Then why did you bring them here in the first place?!" She asked in absurdity.

Kyrin got exasperated while Estris began to patiently explain.

"What?! A space turbulence?!"

In her short career, Sylthia hadn't encountered a situation like this. "Then, what do we do?"

Though, before anyone could answer her question, everyone paused. The air around them started to ripple. No, the space itself was rippling!

"What... are those?" Asked Axel, looking at the huge creatures that were floating towards them from afar. There were three of them, and they were maaaasive. They looked quite a lot like whales. Strange ripples were being emitted from the creatures which were disturbing the space itself.

As soon as Kyrin saw the creatures, she cursed out loud. Does every bad thing have to occur only this time?!

"They're called Space Whales. They're extremely rare," said Estris, looking at the creatures vigilantly. "Don't make any drastic movements. They should leave us alone."

Axel frowned. "Then, why are they heading this way?" It was true. The huge creatures were currently headed directly their way. Axel did not like this situation. He could feel it. These creatures were extremely dangerous.

Estris frowned. "That's... unusual. Space Whales are peaceful creatures. More like, they're completely indifferent to us. They must be here due to the space turbulence. They're attracted to space energy."

!!!

Hearing that, Axel's scalp tingled. Due to space turbulence? The space turbulence was actually caused by him!

"Hey, why don't we kill them, just in case?"

""No."" Estris and Sylthia said in unison.

"Space Whales shouldn't be killed. Their deaths destabilizes the space. And with the space already this unstable..."

But before she could finish her sentence, the space whales let out a deep sound at this moment, and the space around Axel became constricted.

Without having the time to resist, Axel was lifted off the ground, moving through the space to reach the whales.

?!

"Axel!"

"What the—"

Everyone including Axel was surprised. Before anyone could stop it, Axel had already reached the Whales, crossing through space! Axel tried to struggle but was unable to break through.

"Someone kill these things!" He yelled. 'Or I will do it myself!' He added inwardly, as his eyes glowed blue. The only thing stopping him was the space turbulence.

"No! We can't kill them!"

[Fuck! System, what is happening?!]

[They're trying to 'eat' you. Your only option is to use Arcane Travel.]

Without a second thought, Axel used Arcane Travel in order to appear a few kilometres away. But...

'Shit, I forgot!'

Space travel is a no go in this place. Axel reappeared in a completely different location.

"Where... am I?"
