Chapter 922: Auction and Ambush 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If I made a move now, even an idiot would know I was the one behind it.” Garen was speechless. “Plus there are two Resonance pilots here, if their chs are excellent as well, it will be very troubleso. Even I might be no match for them.”
“True, and Fila is here too. His power is near Two Moons Level, so he’s a huge threat as well.” Celine frowned too.
“Unless, I could mobilize large-scale forces to raid them, bring out the brigade. But that may result in many casualties.” Garen took a deep breath. As a Captain in the army who fought alone, he also had an independent squad under his leadership. After two years of selections and training, the mbers were now all powerful pilots, at least Level Three or above. So of them were even Level Five like him, and were just slightly weaker in combat power. And there were many more people in the squad than there were when they raided Red-White two years ago. Perhaps it was due to special warti privileges, but there were more than seventy mbers in the squad, more than seventy of the strongest students from all the different schools.
After they were brought together by mutual benefit, Garen also successfully built bonds between these pilots, so that they had the sa goals in mind, and all swore loyalty to him.
Such a force, driving chs to attack a bunch of Resonance pilots with no chs, could easily result in a one-sided slaughter as long as they had good battle ethics. Pilots without chs could only rely on their Willpower’s attacking skill, but that had too short a range, and faced with the ch’s complete dominance in all areas, it would be no fight at all.
Of course, the other side was politically powerful as well, but there was one very important point, being that the area closest to this auction was Garen’s territory.
Garen was slightly hesitant as well, wondering if he should go ahead and rob them of the Ring Light Silver. Once he did that, the conflict now would instantly escalate, and he was not ntally prepared to face off against a Divine Wind General yet.
In the two years, his Living Secret Technique, the Hellfrost Peacock Technique, had already reached a very crucial point. It was now over 90% complete, perhaps he could soon break past this level’s extrely slow progress pace.
But according to the latter part of the Living Secret Technique records, the seventh and eighth levels after the sixth all required a lot of ti and devouring to advance steadily, so they were not sothing he could accomplish in a short ti. After all, the peak of the eighth level should be the theoretical Army Level power.
According to Garen’s calculations, the Army Level should be equivalent to Inherited Level and above in this world, but he did not know which level within the Inherited system it would reach.
Similarly, it was not that easy to reach Inherited Level. It required a lot of ti and an increase in understanding.
“Once I reach the seventh grade, the Living Secret Technique will probably change completely. And I have the ingredients prepared for my Biochemical Pool, and I finally found the most critical one, the Mila Cells. When I match the Biochemical Pool with the Living Secret Technique, I wonder how they will change...”
Garen had already prepared the ingredients for more than two years, but he never found that key item, the Mila Cells.
That was the main reproductive cell in the Biochemical Pool, it constructed the main body. It always ca from the middle of so strange rocks that grew in the radiation belt, so it was also known as Stoneheart Flesh. Eating it could greatly strengthen soone’s vitality, prolong their lifespan, and it could only be kept for a very short ti, like five days.
That was why Garen could never find suitable Mila Cells.
“Do you want to grab it or not! I can mobilize so of my family’s forces to help as well, we probably can’t stop them from leaving, but if you want to grab that heavy Ring Light Silver, it shouldn’t be a problem,” said Celine softly.
“There’s no rush, once the auction is over, just pay constant attention to their transport route.” A hint of flint flashed through Garen’s eyes. “I’ll go ask my teacher first.”
“Alright.”
There was a fountain of white light spewing from underneath the leaping point and engulfing the two of them. In an instant, the white light vanished, and the two of them disappeared from the leaping point as well.
*****************************
The radiation belt outside the Blackboard Region
On the wide grey-black grassy plains, the sun was setting, the red twilight rays casting a layer of golden-red all over everything.
A black convoy lined up like a long snake, driving out endlessly from the entrance checkpoint into Blackboard, driving out endlessly into the white veil that separated the region from the radiation belt. It was as though they had co out of a foam filter, the many large heavy-duty trucks rumbling along, headed towards the distant grasslands.
The commanding soldier at the checkpoint waited until the last heavy truck had left before he finally put down the automatic wall behind the veil of light slowly, surrounding the whole Blackboard Region once more.
There were many levitating airships on each side of the convoy, and one black-armored guard standing on each airship. They each held long machine guns in their hands, and had curved warswords in their hands. Their left eyes twinkled with a faint red light, as they constantly scanned the movents around them.
There was no cargo inside the hold of one large truck in the middle of the convoy. Instead, it was decorated into a comfortable lounge for resting and chatting. Looking through the cracks in the windows and the curtains now, you could see so people partying, drinking, and singing inside.
Far away from the convoy, there were several small black dots hiding behind the small hill rising from the plains, watching the moving convoy from afar. These small dots were actually several pitch-black tall humanoid chs.
Two of the chs were hiding behind the hill, and seed to be the leaders of the lot.
“It’s confird, the mission is to kill Fila and all the ch guards in there. If you can’t do that, destroy the radiation protection, then they’ll all beco radiation people,” said the leader coldly.
“Leader, are we really going to do it? The opponents are Resonance pilots at the peak of Full Moon,” the assistant pilot beside him said quietly.
“Riches co with risks, as long as he doesn’t have his ch, and he’s not Inherited Level, what’s there to be scared of!? And after that we can get a billion in rewards. Once this gig is over, we call go back and live peacefully, we won’t have to live life on the edge anymore,” said the leader calmly. “So even if I know there’s a high chance we can’t make it back, and we’re being used as scouts to test the opponent, I have no other choice.”
He looked at the convoy moving slowly in the distance.
“I’m forty now, my talents have reached their limit. There’s no point in continuing to fight, so I might as well end on a bang, we’ll take this load and call it quits!”
His ch gave a jolt, and the faint force of a Level Four pilot was released slowly.
Similarly, all the chs around him emitted Level Four forces slowly. They were the elite force that Garen had carefully chosen and gathered over the past two years. At first these had all been killer pilots who had committed cris, but Garen used his position and the warti bureaucracy to secretly bail them out with money, so that they were now one of his secret assets.
But now, this force was going out as cannon fodder just to test Fila and the others.
“Move out.” A pale blue light appeared slowly on the back of the leader’s ch.
Similarly, the other chs replied dully, all their chs lighting up with a faint blue light from the back.
Boom!!
At the sa ti, a large amount of blue flas sprayed out of the engine exhaust, more than ten chs shooting into the air at once. The Level Four forces rumbled towards the black convoy.
Of these, the three elites, the strongest fighters and the leader, were placed in the very middle of the team, heading straight for the car in the middle, the one Fila was on.
“Enemy ambush!!”
As soon as a guard ch rang the alarm, it was shot directly in the cockpit, and fell on its back.
Most of the guard chs were also dispatched with at the first possible mont, but just as these guards were going to fall completely. A powerful Level Five force quickly rushed out of one of the heavy truck holds.
Barroom, the hold was shattered, and there was actually a clean white ch curled up inside. The ch’s eyes lit up with a faint green light, and then it suddenly stretched out, shooting out like a bolt of lightning.
“Insects!” Fila’s voice ca booming out of the ch, with extre arrogance and contempt.
Several high-powered lasers shot the surface of his cockpit, but they were blocked by a layer of transparent light, so he remained completely unhard.
Backhandedly, he pulled out a large blade that was completely silver and bright.
“Thunder Snake Slash!”
A bolt of blue-purple lightning flashed across the sky above the convoy. At lightning speed, it landed on three of the ambushing chs.
Bam bam bam!
The three chs burst into fireballs and crashed down at the sa ti.
“It’s Fila! Damn it! The ch was hidden in the cargo hold!” When the three of them including the leader saw Fila appear, they were instantly shocked out of their wits, and turned around to run.
On the other side, Fila laughed coldly, swinging his blade and effortless releasing yet another bolt of blue-purple lightning, demolishing several more black chs in the ambush.
The Full-Moon Level powerhouse was practically unbeatable. Forget these average Level Four pilots, even those three strongest ones, at the peak of Level Four, could not even take a hit.
He strode towards the three chs, chasing them, the blade in his hand crackling like thunder as he slashed a ch beside him. He was unstoppable!
Just then, other than Fila, two more Resonance chs flew out slowly, slaughtering the black chs that were here on an ambush.
Fila laughed coldly as he chased down the three strongest chs.
“You’re already here, so why would you try to run? Level Four pilot killers, I wonder if Nonosiva will regret it if they were all lost!”
His ch quickly caught up to the three chs at the front.
But just then, a strange force abruptly spread from the three chs at the front.
Ba-thump!
Fila’s expression changed slightly, suddenly realizing that the Willpower force fields around the three chs ahead had started to distort violently. Their chs instantly froze in mid-air, as though they could self-explode at any ti.
He quickly stopped his ch, maintaining his distance. After all, if their Willpower exploded together with their chs, the impact would be terrifying. Even as he was now, his Defense Field would be greatly reduced. For the sake of several regular Level Four pilots he could destroy at any ti, it was not worth it.
Ba-thump!
There was another muffled sound from three chs. That force field was like a heartbeat, but it was far beyond a normal human pulse, as though it was a giant drum, strangely deep and impactful.
“Ah– Aaaaahhhh–!!”
All of a sudden, terrifying screams ca from the three chs ahead.
As the screams went on, inside the three chs, the skin of the three Level Four peak pilots kept rippling and distorting, as though there were countless insects crawling under their skin. Their eyes kept bulging, extrely bloodshot. As the screams continued, hard black scales began to grow all over their bodies slowly. The many scales covered every inch of their body surface.
At the sa ti, their hearts all beat once, and their skin simply burst open. Countless blue-black slimy tentacles whooshed out of from inside, waving around in the air.
Instantly, the Willpower inside their bodies began to expand and mutate, increasing madly from the peak of Level Four to Level Five... Mid Level Five... Peak Level Five.
And as they continued to mutate, the nature of their Willpower sohow also began to change drastically in a terrifying way.
Their bodies, including their chs, all began to emit a deep blue Cold Radiation.
The three chs began to slouch slightly, their arms hanging down, and they panted terrifyingly, like wild beasts.
Fila narrowed his eyes, staring at the strange changes occuring in the three chs in front of him. He did not believe that these tiny Peak Level Four pilots could harm him through any thods, but the effect of this strange mutation had stunned him slightly as well. From Peak Level Four, they had instantly reached Peak Level Five, this was such a terrifying increase in Willpower. And the three chs had even automatically ford a Level Five Willpower Defense Field.
Whoosh... waves of Cold Radiation blew towards him, and even Fila felt his heart grow slightly cold.
“These are just Level Four pilots, too... What if they were Level Five...?” Staring at the three mutated chs in front of him, he could not help but feel a chill, deep in his heart.
