Chapter 1: Just Another Mission

Chapter 1: Just Another Mission

"We're nearing the altar, and the presence of a stage seven Star rank beast has been identified on the route..." The AI voice of the spaceship rang out as the captain sitting in the pilot's seat narrowed his eyes.

Immediately grabbing the communicator beside him, he said, "You all should prepare for disembarkation in the next 30 seconds..."

A group of seven, clothed in advanced dark-red colored battle suits, could be seen in a long hall, seated opposite each other.

Large Assault Rifles in hand and the different spaces on their battle suits were daggers and different types of other lethal technological weapons.

They all had Nano-helmets covering their heads, revealing only their eyes, which would make any man fall on his knees upon sighting those cold, predatory eyes that screamed of murder and madness.

This is a group of elite shoulders trained from a young age to become absolute killing machines capable of completing all missions whatsoever, no matter the danger. Each of them has stepped on the bones of countless others just to survive for this long.

A group named Death Soldiers...

The voice of the captain rang out as they all stood immediately at once, as if having rehearsed this moment for a thousand times.

The sound of seven guns being cocked reverberated through the hall in unison, creating an echo that made one's heart pound faster in their rib cages.

"30...29...28...27..." The countdown by the AI of the spaceship began, but It wasn't a simple countdown to descending a spaceship and landing on the ground.

It was that of descending into hell and landing in the abyss, as even the elite soldiers could be heard exhaling from their lungs, perspiration on their faces while some tightened their hands on the gun as if saying goodbye to their dying friends.

But there was a single anomaly among the group, standing at the utmost front, golden eyes narrowed dangerously in focus as he looked at the door they'll be descending through, his gaze never, for once, blinking away from it.

There were no signs of emotions, no perspiration, or signs of nervousness, just a deep scary calmness.

"3...2...1..."

The space beneath them slowly opened, revealing the fog beneath them. The air flapped around the entire hall enough to sweep away an ordinary mortal from his feet, but they all remained stationary as if glued to the floor.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from behind them, revealing a 2-meter-tall middle-aged man with ruby red eyes and hair, completely clad in an advanced Mecha suit and carrying a plasma rifle twice as big as the rest carried by the others.

The man walked to the front of the group, turning his head back to stare at the group of seven behind him before focusing on the abyss below.

Suddenly, he got into a strange stature, with his upper body lowered, and his butt pushed out.

"Jump!"

The command reverberated through the entire space as the man disappeared into the sea of fog below them, the entire group following just a second later.

"Oh, no..."

"Shit, FIREEEEEEEE..."

SCRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHHHHHH

The sounds of a plasma gun being fired immediately rang out as the foggy area was illuminated in a destructive green light.

The soldiers immediately gathered back facing as they shot at their fastest speed.

SCRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHHHHHH

The sound of the wyrms rang out through the entire area as gigantic snake heads tore out of the ground, revealing the full figure of the ten-meter-long abominations straight from hell.

With extremely hard scales that could rival iron in defense and sharp rowed teeth, thousands in numbers. They were the perfect abyssal anacondas from any psycho's nightmare.

The wyrms launched a brutal assault at the invaders, their gigantic maws snapping at them from every direction, but all their endeavors to tear apart the invaders were for naught as the green ball of energy emanating from the guns burned through their scales while a wyrm that tried to swallow them will only feel a circular iron ball enter into its mouth before its entire body blew up with a bang.

An even more powerful screech suddenly rang out as the floor where they all stood suddenly shook. The entire group immediately rolled away, a gigantic wyrm head bursting out of the ground a moment later.

The captain turned his head, his eyes widening in fear as he felt the aura around this wyrm which was at the 5thstar rank, but his eyes narrowed seeing a soldier high in the air who was slowly descending downwards, no doubt surely entering into the belly of the gigantic wrym in the end.

"Tch, and here I thought he would last the longest..." The captain said as he noticed the figure was the golden-eyed soldier who soon disappeared into the mouth of the wyrm which immediately snapped its jaws close tightly.

"His fate has been sealed..." The captain whispered, but as if in response, hot green blood splashed on his face as a blade light flashed through the world.

Hundreds of marks suddenly appeared on the gigantic wyrm's body as it was immediately sliced into a hundred pieces and a golden-eyed figure burst out of its stomach in the next second, the same as the figure that got swallowed in the first place except this time he wore no helmet.

The captain seemed to have seen a ghost on sighting those devilishly handsome face and the words in his mouth got stuck in his throat.

"You... You're Khan The Hollow!"
