Chapter 640: Toys and Weapons! Part I

BOOM!!!

The sounds of explosions still went on. Even though the city was in ruins, it seemed like the red ray did nothing to ‘the Bloody Iron Beast’.

The tall man still charged at his shadow so fiercely. Even without the ‘Gungnir’, the whole town would have been destroyed by ‘both of them’ anyway. Only a punch could demolish a building!

“Tricking them into town and using that weapon to kill everyone, including your own people. Only a stupid man can do this!”

Marcus screamed. He focused on the fight, but it was not like he did not care about the things around him. When thousands of rays dashed from the sky so fast that it was hard to dodge, Marcus did not even flinch. They were powerful, but not enough to make this beast feel anything!

“I agree.”

A sweet voice was from his shadow, even though its facial expression did not change.

“What do you mean!?”

Marcus growled after both of them were thrown off because of the fist collision.

“I mean the rays just now weren’t in the plan of my leader in the first place. He wouldn’t have done so cowardly just to win.”

“What?” The tall man muttered. “Your leader? Isn’t William your leader?”

“Oh wow! That’s an insult.” The sweet voice giggled. “That man is so disgusting I don’t even want to talk about him!”

Marcus frowned with confusion.

His black eyes stared at the shadow while he was thinking. What did it mean? Was this girl not William’s? She said that she had another leader. That meant someone was holding on to the string? As expected, this girl was good. William should not be able to keep these kinds of people under him.

He grinned.

“What are you smiling for?”

The sweet voice rang. She wondered why the man was still so calm, even though he had lost so many of his men. No, how could his smile be so genuine? It was as if he was having fun with his beloved game.

“It seems there’s more fun stuff to do here other than killing Vincent.”

Marcus murmured.

“What do you mean?”

“Your leader must be very good, right?”

“...!”

The girl was speechless because Marcus was giving her his aggressive smile and his eyes that shone like a beast’s. They were narrowed like those of a demon.

As expected of a beast.

Miguel could feel his killing intent, even though she was controlling the shadow from afar.

“Then, I’ll put his name down on my killing list.”

“B... Before you say that, you should survive this first!”

Suddenly, the shadow charged at Marcus. Of course, the real Marcus was still smiling maliciously. It might look like he was calm, but his blood was actually boiling!

“I see, then I have to get rid of this annoying shadow first!”

He screamed and threw a fist at the shadow with all his might. The sound of the collision echoed throughout the city!

----------------

Boom~

Another sound of the explosion could be heard from afar. Thick smoke gushed out. A tall man was looking at the west. He sighed and took his glasses off to clean the stain.

“It seems like the rays did not do shit to that Bloody Iron Beast.”

He complained while looking around the ruins. He could only sigh.

“What was it, anyway? Was it William’s doing?”

Crash~!

He had not finished his train of thought when a loud noise sounded. It might seem like it was the sound of the ruins crashing at each other, but it was not. He turned to look at it and realized that it was a man throwing the remnants of the buildings away from his path. He was apparently ambushed by Gungnir.

The blonde-haired man shook his head forcefully to get rid of all the dust and sighed.

“Still alive, Mr. Allen?”

A cheery voice greeted him. Nero used his magic to protect him from the rays. He was sitting so laid-back on a rock. His smile was annoyingly happy.

“What’s the smile for? You want me dead that much, Nero?!”

“Well, who’d be that unkind to a partner?” He grinned.

“Damn you.”

Allen swore softly and quickly walked up to his partner.

“William did it?” He asked.

“Who else would it be? Clearly, he wants us dead.”

Nero glanced at where the Gungnir was. It was the only area of the city that was not affected by the hit. Allen scoffed.

“Coward!” He shouted.

“That’s good.” Nero smiled awkwardly. “At least he killed so many for us so that we won’t waste time.”

“I know. I just don’t like his way of doing it.”

He sat down while holding onto his right arm. It seemed a little stiff from the hit. Seeing that, Nero chuckled.

“And what about the player whom you fought before?” Nero asked.

“How could I know? Surviving was bad enough for me. What the hell is that cannon anyway?!”

Allen scolded. He looked around scrutinizingly. The survivors could only be the four gods!

“Damn it. I really want to slice his throat!” He shouted. “That cannon, I’ll destroy it myself!”

BOOM!!!

Suddenly, another explosion occurred, startling both of them. They turned to the source and saw that Gungnir was being attacked by something. Flames gushed out of it with the damage of almost five million!

Their eyes opened widely and frantically searched for the player who did that. They only saw a cloud with a hole in the middle. It was clearly the hole made by the attack!

“Who did that?” Allen raised his eyebrow.

Nero was speechless. Then, he heard the conversations through the secret communication channel. He touched his ear. And that was when he smiled slightly.

“They’re here, Mr. Allen.”

“Who?”

“Gods of Destruction.”

----------------

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The alarming sensor rang so frantically. The control room was painted red. The soldiers in there typed something into their computer in a hurry. William could not even hide his anxiety.

“Gungnir was attacked by a ray from an unknown source. The damage is over five million. The cannon is still intact, but it’ll need twenty seconds more cooldown time.”

An operator reported. William’s eyebrows twitched.

“F*ck the cannon. Find the enemy and confirm it!”

“I... It’s been confirmed that the aerial attack was from the ‘Swize’ cannon. In five seconds, our camera will detect the heatwave in the sky.”

Hearing that, William quickly turned to the giant monitor screen in the room.

There were only clouds on the monitor. Then, they were painted golden before a ray penetrated through it!

“T... That’s...!”

William shouted. A soldier quickly adjusted for the clearer image.

They saw a white ship with four wings that glowed golden. It was dashing towards Tristan at five hundred km./hr.!

“That ship?”

“The Nemesis!”

“The Nemesis’s here! What should we do?!”

William gritted his teeth even tighter. He slammed his hand on the table with his wry face.

“Calm down. It’s only a ship.” He stared at Alexander. “Activate every resistant mode. We’ll take them down. Don’t let them destroy Gungnir!”

Silence overtook the place. They could not deny how much they felt so agitated right now. To be honest, Alexander was an arch enemy of the immobilized Gungnir!

“Hey, don’t go quiet on me. Do it!”

“Y... Yes!!”

They shouted, even though they were still scared.

William clenched his fists and stared at the ship of the enemy that he hated the most.

“I’ll crush you, Vincent!”
