Meryl landed on her feet and was ready to attack a massive blast, but as she saw that there was no attack, she stopped herself from charging up her body.
She and the Void Assassin that brought her were the first to arrive.
"It's safe, I guess," Meryl observed.
The portals opened, and the Void Assassins and the Gryphon Squadron exited the Void and landed on the ground before them.
It was a massive empty space with the shape of a cube.
"What's up with this place."
"It's the stage of our fight. That Lanterk is rearranging the ship inside to prepare us from fighting him!" Lim watched the entire room as it shifted and transformed.
"This is bad. It would have been easier for us to fight inside Shakstress's ship than this one!" Ivan cursed.
"Exactly. But we aren't here on vacation after all. This is a fight to Overcome. We need to be the Inhumans that can fight the forces of a Presider. This is the goal of every Inhuman! Everyone. Prepare yourself. The wall of this large room is still closed to prepare the enemy from coming in. As this room is still forming, this means that this was the least prioritized room. We did teleport to the far east part beyond that wall." Lim deduced.
Ivan nodded and took a certain drug that reformed his arms and legs. Thick fur began to gather up, and his werewolf form was retained. Of all the Unlock, only Ivan succeeded in a controlled werewolf form.
His Exoskeleton came to life and suddenly grew thicker. Just like most of their equipment, the metals made had their cells mixed in them. And just like the strange evolution of the virus when the Covenant fought Amir, the armor had life.
He was the only one who could contain the rampant wildness, and he took a new moniker because of this.
Ivan the Werebear.
Fish immediately released strange dust from her backpack. This was Meng's technology which all of the Dragon's Fang used. It used nanotechnology. But like the studies of the Unlocked improved, the nanomites techs was altered, and it basically used Fish's own blood as a source!
The combination of various Paths, including Akasha's vampiric powers, allowed a few individuals to control the nanomites to free from, and wings appeared on Fish's back.
Even in her previous life, she was hailed as one of the best pilots in the United Nations Army. And Seeker capitalized her training to let her take flight no matter the circumstances.
Fish looked like an angel as the wings she had given a strange yellowish glow.
Two crystal swords that contained a familiar metal cube at the core appeared in her hands.
"Sword like lightning! That's Lennox's techs!" Meryl was amazed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah. I got clearance to carry his techs!" Fish smiled.
Epic brought out a massive gun. Meryl could sense her own power in that gun.
"Is that a Solarium Gun?"
"Yes. It is. But it's far stronger. Can you sense what's powering it?"
"This desolation...! Meng!"
"Yeah! This baby is called the Solarium Eradicator. It can destroy the armor that those Dawn Soldiers of Australia wore!"
"Wouldn't that burn you? I can feel the radiation that it's emitting!" Meryl asked.
"Not if you are as cold as me. I'm the closest thing we have to the Frost Sisters. Cold fusion in the application." Epic chuckled.
"I see. So Fish is a Fighter, Ivan is a Tank, and you're the sharpshooter. Will should be... Are you a Tank? That shield is made of Prime Almetal. And you're carrying one of the generators from Shakstress's ships! The one that can create force fields!"
"Yeah. My job is to get people in and out of position. It's a new role. I'm a Support."
It was then that Meryl realized something.
"You can teleport?!" Meryl was amazed. She just realized the number of Void Assassins lacked one for them to teleport. Will's words that his job was to get people in and out of position was unique.
"Yeah. I trained with the Void Assassins after we killed those Pioneers in our Survival Room training." Will answered.
"What an amazing thing! Lim is a scout. I can see that your eyes have been altered, and you're wearing some sort of lens. And Suarez is a standard soldier like what the three Drug Dealers used to be."
"Not exactly. In any case, Meryl, what is your role? Alphie was a fighter. Can you adjust to that?" Lim asked.
"Yeah. I may look like a ranged user, but my punch should be stronger than the current Dara."
"Wow!" Suarez was amazed.
"Young Masters... Please focus. The gates are opening." A Void Assassin pointed to the walls as it kept rotating and finally opened up a room with several squads of Exoskeletons and Armors emerging. Turrets, missile launchers, and machine guns also began to appear.
"Wow. It looks like we will be busy." Meryl whistled.
"Hm... No. This is easier. Lanterk either underestimated us or couldn't afford to send us any stronger foes since he focused it all on facing Seeker and the rest.
"Nefilus Pilots! Surrender or die!" One of the Pioneers moved forward and wore a strange exoskeleton with bright electric energy coursing all over it.
Lim watched in interest and glanced all over the room.
"Interesting. It's using Rail and Magentic technology to a level that will make One China's tech look primitive. We are about to face our first-ever enemy with light-speed and pinpoint accuracy." Lim answered.
"Can it be resolved, Lim?" Ivan asked.
"Of course, it can. As I said, this is going to be easy." She smiled.
"Arrogant Nefilus users! Die!" The enemy roared, and a flash of light appeared.
Lim took a step back and revealed a crystal sword he stabbed upwards.
"AHHHHH!" A cry was heard as the Exoskeleton that was once there had appeared right in front of Lim.
It was about to shoot, but Lim's sword had stabbed right through the armor and severed all muscles in the arm, preventing the pilot from pulling the trigger.
"Instant Calculation?! Impossible! How can you have it?"
"It's not done on my own. I have created several thought processes and made it an AI, just like Lennox did. With it, it helps me make instant calculations. Of course, it's still weaker than Arthur's real thing." Lim answered after he made a quick swipe with another sword that appeared on his other hand.
The Exoskeleton was cut in two.
The army of Pioneers and Planteds stood very still. It felt like a dream to some of them, and they couldn't believe that one of their Commander, who was practically a god in this room, had easily died.
"Anyway, as I said, they have rail technology, and with the magnetic powers in this room, some of their soldiers could zip and make stops just like this guy. He accelerated with such a fast speed, and the magnetic powers of the Presider allowed it to make an instant stop. It was so fast that it appeared he teleported. There are seven more of them. I'm sure they'll be more careful. And to some extent, it works on their weapons too!"
"Attack!" One of the Pioneer Commanders finally accepted what had happened and issued his order.
All the Pioneers and Planteds began to move and attack.
Meryl stepped forward as the amounts of bullets that would fall on them would be similar to their battle outside.
"Meryl. Wait! Don't bother attacking or shielding us! Just focus on the evading! Those Exoskeleton and Armor pilots will miss. Just don't listen to Suarez." Ivan called out.
"What? Don't listen to Suarez?"
"Suarez powers are considered a Path not because of its battle capabilities but how useful it is for us to communicate. But now, I believe that on certain occasions, it could be as strong as a Path!" Lim smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, the majority of the Exoskeletons began to aim as the Unlocked rushed out.
The Exoskeletons took aim and shot.
"Now!" Lim ordered.
A strange ring suddenly glowed on top of Suarez's head, and a jewel at the center of his helmet glowed.
"Up!" Suarez only spoke one word, and this word somehow resounded in everyone's mind.
Meryl heard it but ignored it.
But all the Exoskeleton and Armor pilots jolted as if they felt that the enemy would suddenly move up.
The sudden jolt hindered the targeting systems of their weapons and even delayed the attacks of some by a split second.
WARP!
A portal opened right in the front lines.
Will brought Ivan and teleported to the front.
SMASH! SMASH!
The werebear immediately began its assault. Despite its large size, it moved incredibly fast.
BANG!
Epic fired the shot, and a massive explosion occurred, eradicating Exoskeletons and Armor.
Fish flew with incredible speed, and a Void Assassin appeared, and the two teleported to another side of the battlefield.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Blood fell as she flew towards the army and attacked them.
The battle erupted, but the enemies were acting out of sync.
Suarez and Lim were with two Void Assassins as they rushed towards a specified location.
Meryl was the only one who didn't need to teleport as she made a frontal assault.
Suddenly, she could hear Lim's voice in her head.
"Alright, guys. Listen up. Let's finish this in eight minutes and thirty seven-seconds!"
