Reincarnator Chapter 339:
Reincarnator - Chapter 339 : Main Research Center (1)
“Can you read anything?”
Hansoo asked Kiriel, who continued to stay focused with her hand on the ground .
“Please, wait a moment!”
She hadn’t been able to read anything with her area skill .
Which meant that nothing had happened recently, at least .
—sssssss—
As the range decreased and the effectiveness multiplied, she was able to delve deeper and read even more memories .
Kiriel started off from the most recent event near the elevator and started to read through them .
Soon—
‘…What is this?’
Kiriel started to frown .
<Damn it! Run!>
<Bastards! You attack us from behind after forming an alliance!?>
<Please! Please don’t leave me behind, please!”
Countless strange attacks were flying around the elevator and turning the whole place into a mess .
—crunch!—
—crack!—
‘Huh . . . What?’
Because the attackers hadn’t reached the land she was reading, she couldn’t figure out their identities .
She could only see the countless adventurers being killed off like flies from those strange attacks .
But soon she realized that she didn’t really need to read the memories of other areas .
—boom! boom!—
She could feel the vibrations of the ground getting stronger .
Which meant that something was coming .
Something was coming to crush those adventurers that were running away .
But as Kiriel continued to read the memory .
—whoooosh!—
Someone was pulling strongly on the back of her clothes .
“Ahh!”
Because of the external stimulus, her Psychometry was shattered and she was forced back out into reality .
‘Damn… I almost saw it! So close!’
But as she turned around—
—booooooom!—
The ground exploded right where she’d been standing .
‘Huh?!’
Kiriel frowned at the beam attack that was exactly the same as the one she’d seen in the memories .
Indeed, her guard had been down because she’d been using her Psychometry .
She wouldn’t die from it, but it was clear that an attack of this level would hurt her to some degree .
But as Kiriel quickly activated her skills to defend against the fragments and the flames that came from the explosion, somebody was already standing before her .
—titititing!—
Hansoo had pulled Kiriel behind him and deflected most of the damage with the hammer .
—rumble—
‘This is the Spirit, huh? How useful . ’
Kiriel looked at Hansoo absorbing the residual flames into his body, but then turned to the thing that had attacked her in the first place .
‘A robot?’
Eeeeeeing .
—kacha—
She’d thought it would be an abyssal beast or an underling of Clementine .
But the thing that was actually coming towards her was a robot .
—rumble—
It looked like a construction machine all clad in some metal alloy .
The laser beam weapon that had attacked her was attached on top of it, alongside a cannon .
Overall, it looked very similar to a tank .
—rummblee—
Though the 10-meter-tall giant machine approaching her looked quite threatening, her expression remained indifferent .
‘How boring’ .
Kiriel cracked her knuckles and surrounded herself in flames as she mumbled .
The 5th Zone .
A giant metal city, and the giant barrier that surrounded it .
The extremely advanced technology .
She expected everything within this place to fit the look of its surroundings .
But what the **** was this?
‘It just looks very generic . Even the Akadus of the 2nd zone looked more advanced than this . ’
Kiriel sighed as she thought of the silver androids controlled by Gwanje, the lord of the 2nd Zone .
—kiiiiiiing—
Energy started to gather at the giant cannon on top of the machine .
—boooom!—
It fired towards the humans that still hadn’t run away even after seeing it .
The energy was so violent that the attack had melted down the surrounding land, destroying the debris .
‘Wow, that’s a bit strong . ’
Though it looked lame, its might was dimensions apart from the Akadus .
But Kiriel only shrugged her shoulders as she took something out from her pocket .
—whoooosh!—
Kiriel used the object to quickly draw lines in the air .
And as the beam smashed against the space Kiriel had just been drawing on .
—claaangg!—
The laser split into two halves and flew past her, exploding in the space behind her .
—booom!—
Kiriel used the force of the explosion to accelerate her charge forwards and drew a vertical line .
And as the object in Kiriel’s hand cut through the air—
—clank!—
—the huge metal robot split in half, its two parts falling down .
—kirurururuk!—
The tank struggled and made strange noises as it attempted to turn its cannon to attack again, but it was futile .
Deep within its metal walls, the tank’s core had been split apart as well .
And with a final groan, the tank soon stopped moving .
Kiriel checked the insides to see if anybody was riding it, but it was empty .
‘A robot is indeed a robot . But damn, this is a really good one . ’
Kiriel looked at the object in her hand in shock .
[Ark-Roa’s Fang] .
It was only the Ark-Roa’s fang in name, but its might was actually countless times stronger than the fangs of an Ark-Roa itself .
It was capable of splitting the air apart and deflected light .
Unlike its noble appearance, which resembled an ivory tusk, the might hidden within it was no joke .
‘That fairy was one **** of a nuisance in the tutorial, but at least they’re properly giving out rewards, huh?’
Kiriel rubbed the fang’s soft curves as she looked towards Hansoo .
‘He fought even harder than me, so he should have received a better reward than mine, but he only got part of an artifact . ’
Kiriel tried to imagine what it would look like once it was completed, and then spoke to Hansoo .
“Looks like this is all there is to it . I think these are the ones that roam around this area . ’
These things were more than strong enough to threaten normal adventurers, but they were a bit lacking when it came to transcendents like herself .
‘Reading this thing’s memories should help out at least . ’
Maybe she’d find a clue as to why that barrier had broken apart .
—kiiiing—
“Ugh . ”
Kiriel’s expression turned unsightly as she read the memory .
And Hansoo chuckled while watching her .
“If it’s a common weapon then it’ll only be useful once it’s mass-produced . ”
“Ah…”
—rumble!—
—clank! clank!—
Even before Kiriel could freak out at the hundreds of machines she had seen in the memories, those exact machines had already gathered around them .
—kiiiiiing!—
Zzzzmmmm!
The Melchizedek’s machines had gathered after receiving the distress signal of the machine that Kiriel had just destroyed .
And the first thing they did was gather energy to attack the two of them .
‘Let’s see . ’
—booooooom!—
As Hansoo smashed the Mjolnir into the ground, a giant bolt of lightning smashed down from the sky, creating a pillar of lightning .
—rummblee!—
Hansoo started to think about his next step as he swept apart the attacks of the countless machines with the lightning pillar .
No matter what happened here, he just needed to accomplish his job .
‘I need to sweep away Melchizedek . ’
He always had to remember his job .
His goal was to win .
And the first requirement to achieve his goal was… annihilation of all obstacles that could deter his path towards that victory .
The strength in his hands was all for this goal .
The machine king, driven by his greed for material objects and information, wouldnt be an exception to this as well .
He wanted to avoid it if possible, but he had been attacked the second he encountered his underlings .
And this would not end until he smashed apart Melchizedek’s main body located somewhere within the 5th zone .
‘Where… where could he be?’
Hansoo looked around in various directions and mumbled .
‘It doesn’t seem like it would be on the 1st floor . ’
The chances of Melchizedek being on the 1st floor were very low .
But these soldiers were reacting way too violently .
There were way more of them than usual as well .
Of course, it wouldn’t be weird for it to be in the first floor .
Despite being a machine, Melchizedek was a curious being that pretended to be a human as it roamed around the entire zone .
And if it was on the 1st floor, there was only one place it would go to .
‘The Main Research Center . ’
…ssssss…
Hansoo mumbled, and with a sweep of his Pandemic Blade, he melted over twenty of the robots .
He realized something after looking around .
In this giant metal city that was divided into various sectors with different facilities and functions, this place was where the Main Research Center was located .
Of course, this was something the humans had named it, but the name was very fitting .
‘If he’s here, then… jackpot . ’
It would be even better if Melchizedek didn’t bring his elite soldiers with it, but just being near his current location was good enough .
Since it would be much better than if it hid behind its <Castle> .
‘If I can find him while I’m cleaning up these pieces of garbage, then… that really is a jackpot . ’
As he focused, Hansoo thought of Melchizedek, who reminded him of an innocent child .
Then—
—chiiijijijiikk!—
A dark aura started to gather around the tip of Mjolnir .
The Nine Dragons Spear .
Of course, the name was because the creator of this skill was somebody who wielded a spear .
The important thing wasn’t the name, but how the skill itself worked .
A skill which squeezed every drop of strength in its user’s body, including the user’s instinctive struggle for survival during its use, and then turned that strength into a destructive form of energy that smashed apart the user’s foe .
Every time another dragon was added, the pain one felt throughout their body was multiplied .
A skill which stacked the energy that was extracted out from the body through this process and used it to destroy one’s foes .
This was the Nine Dragons Spear .
Which meant that as long as one understood the method behind the extraction of strength, and how the energy was gathered, it didn’t matter what weapon was used .
—kwaaaddddk!—
—swooosh!—
Four dragons rushed out from Hansoo’s heart and started to intermingle with the lightning within the Mjolnir .
It wasn’t that four was his limit .
But rather that four was more than enough .
Hansoo lifted the hammer surrounded by black lightning and smashed it into the ground .
And the moment the hammer collided with the metallic land—
—booooom!—
—the black lightning rode through the ground and started to spread out .
Like countless dragons charging towards their enemies .
—zzzzzzttt—
—boom!—
The streaks of black lightning swam through the land and smashed into the robots, blowing them up and melting them down .
It was like watching countless dragons chewing apart their prey .
—rumble!—
—boom!—
‘Woah…’
Kiriel split apart the robots one by one, dazedly looked at this scene where hundreds of robots were destroyed in an instant .
But there were another set of eyes that were watching this scene as well .
……………………………………………………………… . .
“What the **** is that?”
—rumble—
17 kilometers away from the elevator .
A man, who was lying between the buildings and watching the elevator, freaked out at the scene where hundreds of AR-1121s were being destroyed .
Though they were mass produced, those things weren’t so weak that they could be destroyed that easily .
Another man, who had been standing next to him, asked with a stern expression:
“Do you think he came down from above? Or came up from below?”
“How would I know?”
After hearing the annoyed voice of the man who was on the ground, the man with the stern expression frowned .
“You mean we’ll have to meet them to find out . Are you going to make contact?’
“Hmm…”
That man was too strong for them to just ignore and continue on with what they’d been doing .
The man on the ground, who seemed to be the leader, frowned at the words of his underling .
