Reincarnator – Chapter 359: Breeding City (2)

“Hmm…mmm…”

As they made their way to the third floor, Kiriel made a strange expression as she touched various parts of her armor .

Noticing this, Hansoo asked:

“Is there an issue?”

“No… it’s just…”

Kiriel smiled awkwardly at Hansoo .

Dragon God Armor .

A revolutionary gear that allowed a normal person to fight on the same level as a transcendent .

She’d expected to become at least twice as strong once she equipped it .

No, even stronger than that .

Since she’d be able to use both her strength as well as the Dragon God Armor’s powers .

But the result was a bit different .

As a piece of armor, it was amazing .

The material, its efficiency, as well as the special options inside .

But the core thing was missing .

The energy that controlled the Dragon God Armor .

The ‘battery’ that powered the armor to the point that it could fight evenly against her—it wasn’t included inside .

And it wasn’t like R-Korun Nell had a tremendous amount of energy hidden inside his body like herself—that’s what confused her .

‘Well . . . I could just use my own energy to power it . ’

—ssssk—

Kiriel stared at the armor that had started to glow as she poured energy into it .

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders .

“An internal battery is dangerous in such a dangerous weapon . ”

Dragon God Armor .

A weapon that could turn the tide of a large-scale battle in an instant .

The Dragon God Armor received its energy through a transmission .

From the within Angkara .

Then—

—rumble—

The elevator stopped moving .

—boom!—

And the sound of something exploding resonated from outside the still-closed elevator doors .

Hansoo spoke to Kiriel:

“Let’s go out . ”

‘Hold on for just a bit longer, Enbi Arin . ’

Hansoo thought as he glanced at Enbi Arin who was on Kiriel’s back .

……………………………………………………

—rumble—

“Woah…”

Kiriel whistled at the scene as the doors of the Elevator opened .

She thought back to when the Fusion Reactor had gone through the Quantum Transmission .

‘If that explosion… if it occurred before my eyes, then this would’ve been the result, huh?’

Back then, she could only see a tiny, flashing star .

But seeing it happen right before her eyes, it was like an apocalypse .

—rumble—

The machines that were apparently prepared to ambush them had all melted down from the Fusion Core explosion .

Kiriel heard Hansoo’s voice as she stared at the sea of flames .

“I’ll leave it to you . ”

“Yes . ”

Kiriel nodded .

It didn’t seem like they’d bought enough time .

Since she could already see the lights approaching from the distance .

‘There’s no need to get mixed up in something like that . ’

The reason why they had blown up the Fusion Core was to buy this small bit of time anyway .

And as Kiriel activated her skill—

—kiiiiing—

—the Dragon God Armor on Kiriel’s body activated with her skill, creating a transparent barrier around her and Hansoo .

The stealth barrier had been useful in the lower floors but was even stronger now, and it quickly hid their presences .

‘Nice . This is quite useful . ’

—kiiiiiing—

Her spinal area released a strange current of energy that enhanced her skill .

Kiriel smiled at this .

It was like acquiring a very versatile supporter .

Although she had to supply the energy herself, the result wasn’t half bad .

—whooosh!—

The second the barrier surrounded them, Kiriel and Hansoo dashed off the ground and headed towards the metal city in the distance .

—swoosh!—

Every step was hundreds of meters long, but Kiriel could only make an expression of discomfort .

‘ . . . What is that?’

A strange fog surrounded the giant city .

Kiriel looked at the scene in front of her with disgust .

It didn’t look natural at all .

The fog remained undisturbed from the wind created as they ran; there was no way it was natural .

At that moment—

—kiiiiing!—

“ . . . Huh?”

—they felt a strange energy in the distance, above the fog .

Kiriel quickly raised her head and saw the objects floating outside the atmosphere .

‘…So that’s the fleet of flames . They’ve already arrived . ’

She hadn’t noticed them because it was so far away, plus the giant city in front of her had taken up her full attention .

“Shouldn’t we dodge?”

The concentration of energy from above was not something they could ignore .

The direction of its attack was headed right for their location .

Well, it was aiming for the city, but the strength of such sheer firepower could easily sweep them away too .

Hansoo shook his head .

“If it could get easily swept away from that, it would have long fallen by now . ”

Hansoo said leisurely, glancing between Aokan and the fleet above .

……………………………………… .

In the distance .

A massive amount of energy gathered in front of the flagship of the Kalkuroun Fleet .

Then—

—a laser beam cut across space and slammed down onto the planet below .

Although it didn’t release a sound, its speed and aura allowed one to estimate the power behind the attack .

The meteor-like strike of that beam was slower than the Photon Strike, but there was a vicious technology implemented onto this attack .

R-Particle Reactive Artillery .

A weapon filled with the R-Particle that reacted with all surrounding matter to quickly fold space .

A tactical weapon used to blow apart giant fortresses or the cores of small moons .

This weapon, which basically created a miniature black hole, turned everything within a 10 km radius into a singularity the moment it exploded .

But the moment the artillery shell entered the white fog surrounding Aokan, something strange happened .

…chiiiii…

The artillery shell quickly lost its momentum .

The attack, which should’ve turned everything within 10 km of the city into a tiny dot the moment it blew up, quickly fell to the ground .

R-Koronaita Nell mumbled as he looked at the artillery shell, which had cost as much as the yearly income of a large city, turned into a piece of metal .

“ . . . It’s well-built . Whoever built it, they did a very good job . ”

The ultimate weapon of electronics—it reacted to anything electronics-related and controlled it .

Neropa Union’s creation, .

Resembling a white fog, it covered a range of several dozen kilometers around Aokan and was made up entirely of nanomachines .

Unauthorized artificial weapons or systems would quickly lose their power and ability to function when they entered the fog .

‘ . . . It really prepared well . Damned brat . What’s really hidden underneath?’

R-Koronaita Nell gritted his teeth as he looked at the giant city, now completely obscured as the fog thickened .

…………………………………… .

“ . . . ”

Kiriel frowned as she noticed that the giant fleet was unable to do anything .

It felt good to thwart the ones above, but she realized that the city before their eyes was not a simple one at all .

Kiriel asked Hansoo:

“Are we going to charge straight in?”

The giant metal walls of the city made it resemble a massive Pandora’s box .

A box that hid countless sorrows, but still attracted many with hope .

To gather crystals, they needed to deal with the Abyssal race inside the walls .

As well as Melchizedek’s forces .

Melchizedek knew their strengths .

And it would have definitely prepared for their arrival .

Hansoo nodded .

“Let’s go . ”

“ . . . ”

Kiriel nodded at Hansoo’s words .

In order to attain the power to fight on the upper floors, they needed to raise their level in this place anyway .

If they could survive this, both she and Hansoo would at least become a step stronger .

‘Enbi Arin… If she could survive, then it would be a huge help . ’

Kiriel clenched her teeth as she felt her mind calming down at the thought of saving a life .

She realized what she was truly feeling .

‘ . . . It’s hard . ’

There was no one who could help them .

The world was large, and there were so many enemies .

And there were only two of them .

She’d never truly experienced hardship throughout the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd zones .

Her abilities were quite good, and the rulers of each of those zones were human .

The 4th zone was alright as well .

Although there were many others stronger than herself, she had used her abilities to quickly rise up into a transcendent .

She had no long-term enemies as well .

But the moment she met Hansoo, everything changed .

Of course, she had enemies .

Except her enemies were spread around, preparing to flip the world upside down .

She just didn’t know who they were .

Hansoo and his comrades had been fighting them since a long time ago .

And they probably still were .

Melchizedek .

Clementine .

Beings that had the thoughts and the abilities to flip the world many times over .

And as she thought up to this point, Kiriel unconsciously blurted something out .

“If we keep fighting like this, will there ever come a day when we can smile with true happiness?”

It sounded like a complaint, but she felt like she needed to hear how Hansoo would answer .

If there was no light at the end of this tunnel filled with battles .

This whole fight might lose all meaning .

‘No… Does the tunnel even end?’

Enemies after enemies after enemies .

Go up, enemies .

Look around, enemies .

At this rate, she felt like her mind would end up exhausted even before her physical body could .

Hansoo smiled at Kiriel and asked:

“How were the lower floors?”

Kiriel replied instantly:

“Of course, they were much bett…”

At that moment—

—Kiriel came to a realization, and Hansoo continued:

“If we win, this place will become like that . I hope you liked how they were . ”

And as she heard this—

—Kiriel felt a spring of emotions burst out from inside her chest .

‘ . . . So that’s what they meant . When they told us that it was like hell . ’

She’d deluded herself .

Things hadn’t gotten hard just because she went up .

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th zones were originally all like this .

It was only that Hansoo and his old comrades had changed it .

Hansoo chuckled at Kiriel, mumbling as he thought of his old comrades who’d had to shoulder these kinds of jobs because of him .

“If you make bad friends, you will suffer . It’s not too late . There’s nothing really good… about having a friend like me, you see . ”

Hansoo looked at Enbi Arin with a bitter expression and then gazed upwards .

‘I wonder… What are you guys doing now? Just wait a bit longer . There are a few things I need to smash apart before I get there . ’

Hansoo’s bitter expression soon turned ice-cold as he stared at Melchizedek’s metal box .
