Chapter 26: Chapter 25: Versus.

The man who rushed to call their boss returns with a skinny man.

 

“Are you the leader here?”

 

The skinny man scrutinizes the hooded man. There is nothing out of the ordinary. “What do you want? The boss is busy.”

 

“Give me the federation battle suit.”

 

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

 

“It looks like you want to do it the hard way.”

 

The skinny man has never seen the hooded man before. That means this man is either in the military or insane. "Everyone, fire!"

 

The men before they can fire their weapon. All of them fall down to the floor. Except for the two man, that just arrived.

 

“What happened?” The man beside the skinny man begins to panic. Suddenly a flying dagger cuts his throat. The man hurriedly covered the wound with his hand but it was useless. He falls down on the floor and stops breathing.

 

The dagger returns to the hooded man's hand.

 

The skinny man doesn’t know what happened and stands still. He is afraid if he moves he will be next to die.

 

“Everyone has died except for you, now tell me where is the battle suit?”

 

The skinny man recalls his boss's order and attempts to stall for time. "I honestly don't know."

 

"That means I don't need you." Taking out my gun. A humanoid battle suit is approaching.

 

“Who are you, how dare you attack my subordinate?” The battle suit has camouflage color and the shoulder can be seen as a mounted cannon.

 

“Boss, you have come!” The skinny man shouted excitedly. But he hears a gunshot. Looking down he can see a hole in his chest.

 

“You bastard!” A shell has been fired from the mounted cannon.

 

The hooded man doesn’t even try to evade the attack.

 

“Boom!” Large explosion happens when the shells hit the hooded man and the stuff inside the warehouse. The hooded man gets engulfed by the explosion.

 

The scarface woman quickly checks the skinny man's condition. However, it’s already too late. The skinny man already dies.

 

"Damn, it looks like I'll have to find a new assistant." The skinny man is the intelligent people in her group. It will be difficult for scarface women to manage the group without him.

 

“Is that all?”

 

The scarface woman hears a voice. Coming out of the explosion, she sees the hooded man unharmed.

 

“What!” Surprise the scarface woman, activate flying mode and hover in the air to keep distance from the hooded man. Without hesitation she aims all the battle suit weapons at the hooded man. Multiple projectiles and lasers hit the hooded man.

 

“Kaboom!”

 

I never tested my shield's durability after reaching the adept rank. My vital energy is being directed at the shield in order to keep it from breaking. In the future, I should avoid fighting multiple battle suits at the same time because it will exhaust my vital energy.

 

The battle suit stops firing. She has nearly depleted her battle suit's ammunition. Looking at the flames and smoke inside the warehouse, the hooded man must be dead. "Damn it. I need to find a new place."

 

“Are you done?” The same voice comes out from the flames and smoke. Waving my hand, all the flame and smoke blew away. “Now is my turn.”

 

Raising my hand, the vital energy changes into flame and dark energy. After merging it together several black fire spears launch toward the battle suit in the air.

 

The scarface woman is shocked, seeing the hooded man survive the attack. For the black fire attack, she has seen many strange weapons from other advanced species, and the battle suit is equipped with several safety systems.

 

[Incoming danger.]

 

[Activate evasion mode.]

 

To avoid the incoming fire spear, the battle suit flew inside the warehouse. The black fire spear pierced the wall and the roof, burning it. The flame caused the light inside the warehouse to short circuit and turn off.

 

My mind starts analyzing the battle and making plans. Casting a spell, a fog fills the entire warehouse.

 

The scarface woman battle suit screen helmet starts emitting warning signals.

 

[The enemy can’t be detected.]

 

[Detects multiple heat signatures.]

[Detecting poison substance in the fog.]

 

[Safety protocol activated.]

 

When the battle suit failed to detect the hooded man. The scarface woman decided to escape.

 

-

 

It appears that the battle suit can keep the poison fog from poisoning the pilot. My body blends into the darkness. Using shadow movement, my body appears on the ceiling, above the battle suit. 

 

Several dark chains materialize from the darkness and bind the battle suit arm and leg in the air.

 

“What happened.” The scarface woman tries to move her battle suit. But it won’t budge.

 

[Warning heat signal detected.] The battle suit is emitting warning signals.

 

A column of black flame descends from above and devours the battle suit. The scarface woman feels the heat, but she can't do anything about it. As the flame corrodes and the weakening armor melts, it enters through the opening in the battle suit armor.

 

“Aaahhhh!” The scarface woman screams in agony as black flames consume her. The burned battle suit plunges to the floor.

 

My body appears on the floor once more by using shadow movement. My job here is complete after witnessing the destroyed battle suit. This battle has ended exactly as predicted. However, I am consuming more vital energy than expected.

 

When I finish absorbing the soul energy, my senses detect something on one of the warehouse's doors. Entering the door, what comes out is a rotting smell. There are several dead bodies around the room, these must have been the torture victims.

 

The corpses are already dead for a long time and have lost their soul energy. Except for one she must have died recently. After looking around for a while, I left the burning warehouse.

 

Without power or influence your only fate is to be a victim of someone powerful. There is no such thing as right or wrong in this world.

Few days later. Sitting in front of a large screen is an elderly man wearing a military uniform, general Conor. “How is the operation?”

 

A man wearing a military uniform spoke. “The bases belonging to different underworld that have suspected to work for terrorist organizations have been discovered.”

 

The elderly man is in a good mood. Since the terrorist attack, the military is busy gathering intel about all the criminal activity in Otune. “Good, it's better to clean up the city's underworld while we destroy the terrorist organization.”

 

“General, I have other news.”

 

“What is it?”

 

The man hesitates, but in the end he spoke. “The Otune native are preparing to make a move.”

 

Hearing that the elderly man begins to massage his head. The problem with the terrorist have not yet solve and there is another big problem. “Have you contacted our spy?”

 

“We lost contact yesterday after receiving the message.”

 

The elderly man is having a headache. After this he needed to see the president for countermeasure against the stur freedom fighter. There are organizations that want to free Otune from human control. “We discuss this later, focus on the mission.”

 

“Yes sir.”

 

-

 

A bald woman is inside a large horizontal glass tube full of liquid attached with tubes and devices in the Pharherb experiment room. The woman inside has a disfigured body as a result of the explosion injury, as well as a missing right arm. Clothing covers her breasts and private parts.

 

“How is the result?”

 

“The chemical is slowly being eradicated. Although we manage to save Madam Daisy's life, we still have problems regrowing her arm and healing her scarred skin later.”

 

“Don’t worry about that, I have my way.”

 

“Yes, the damage is too severe to heal, we can do surgery to alter the scar's shape or make it less noticeable.” For Professor Henry, Levi's ability to save his mother's life is already a miracle. But he still doesn't understand how, in his experience, it was impossible.

 

My mother still needs time to heal. Without Professor Henry being aware. To hasten the healing process, I've been casting healing spells, and eliminating the chemical using my vital energy.

 

After consuming the soul energy, my soul is becoming stronger. However, my strength is still in the beginner stage of adept rank. I have been looking for blood or material that have energy similar to vital energy, but it's been fruitless.

 

“Prof. I have something I need to do.”

 

“Okay don’t worry. I will contact you if anything happens.”

I'm leaving the room to go to my private room. There are numerous tasks that must be completed; if only I could split my soul right now. However, because I am not a peak master rank, the consequences will be unknown. The damage of spilling souls and pain in an environment devoid of mana. The time required to heal the soul will be longer than in the Assiorath world.

 

When entering my room, there is a call from Liam. Answering the call. The first word that I hear is. [“Mr. Sylas we are in danger!”]
