"Section Chief ......"

With Lloyd's deep voice, everyone around him trembled.

Rui's blade was so precise that it hit Chief Sergei's heart. Although the blade was thin, Sergei was driving, nervous, his heart beat faster, coupled with the bumps in the car, the knife edge never closed, and finally caused a car accident due to excessive blood loss.

Even though he was killed, he still held the steering wheel with both hands, and his feet pressed on the accelerator pedal, which was blocked by the outer wall of the Sun Fortress, and the car could only let out a painful scream, motionless.

Dragging the section chief out of the driver's seat, Randy, with a heavy face, said silently, "It's hopeless...... Chief...... Killed. ”

“……”

No one wants to take his word for it.

Lloyd and Ellie silently treated him with what they had at hand, while Theo drove the channeling magic to try to heal him.

Estelle lay on Joshua's shoulder, and Joshua could only silently stroke her head, silent. The two once again lamented how lucky they were when Liber changed, because it was obviously a national-level mutation, and no one died except for the culprit.

"Isn't there a place where we can help?"

Estelle muttered quietly, more coquettishly. Joshua shook his head. He and Randy were the ones closest to death, so they knew very well that the middle-aged man with a serious look in front of them was hopeless. If it's a half-dead person, maybe there's a special medicine to bring the dead back to life. But...... Sergei has died. The heartbeat stopped.

“……”

Randy tries to hold Lloyd, but doesn't reach out. Quietly watched them do everything they could at hand......

"Section Chief...... Why ......"

Lloyd couldn't hold back the crying in his tone, and his voice choked.

"Section Chief...... Obviously, obviously so decadent, why did you suddenly ......"

Ellie couldn't hold back her tears, squatted down, and hugged Tio, who was constantly crying, and the two women warmed each other.

"Lloyd. It's cruel though......"

"But...... Gotta go ahead, right? ”

Lloyd would give him a bleak smile.

"I understand...... If it were you, if it was You, if it was Big Brother, it would probably be like this...... So...... I hate myself so much......"

Lloyd probably meant that he hated himself very much for not being able to find a reason to accompany the section chief. Randy mentally filled up his words and gently stepped forward, rubbing his hair vigorously.

"Now, Lloyd. The so-called battle, that's the kind of thing. There will always be bloodshed, and there will always be people leaving. So...... So...... That bastard uncle! What a handsome thing to play at this time! Bastard...... Eyes, into the sand......"

Randy didn't hold back in the end, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Joshua and Estelle exchanged glances, and Joshua spoke, "Everyone, leave the capture task to the two of us this time. ”

“…… No. ”

Although it was difficult to control his heartache, Lloyd still made the most ideal judgment. He hated himself for prioritizing the best strategy at all times.

"This is the mission of our Support Section. It was the last order of Chief Sergei. We must arrest the sinful, first, Joachim? Jonta. This is the only way to comfort the section chief......"

Lloyd wiped away tears. Helping everyone up, although they were still a little staggering, the figures of the six people walked resolutely and resolutely towards the main gate of the Sun Fortress. Behind everyone, leaning on the battered guide car, Sergei sat quietly, as if looking forward to everyone's return.

――――――――――――

【23:00】【Inside the Sun Fortress】

The Fortress of the Sun, just from the word fortress in its name, does not guess its architectural style.

The entire stone space is made of masonry and stone, and the zigzag staircase extends infinitely until it disappears at the end of the view.

Visually it is a hundred sub-distances, and even deeper. This is the conclusion given by Randy.

The crowd didn't say much, and walked down silently.

From the ground, the Sun Fortress is only less than ten centimeters high, and no one would have imagined that its interior would extend so far underground. It is inhabited by a large number of demonic beasts born from the movement of the Qiyao Pulse, and some mafias are hovering in it.

Like an underground building, the staircase descends to a platform, followed by a room-like space, with moss in the corners, and all sorts of pipes and machines of unknown purpose lined it, and rusty shells. It looks like this is Joachim's base. I am afraid that these machines are used to produce true knowledge.

The six of them passed all the way, and after I don't know how much sub-distance they fell, the road suddenly opened up.

It was a large landing, and behind the platform, there was a staircase that continued downstairs. On the platform, secretaries in green suits and quiet guerrillas stood as if they were guards.

"Yo, it's finally here. Really, keep me waiting. ”

Anester's flirtatious tone was like the calm secretary he once had.

"Mr. Anaest......"

Ellie's face was clouded again.

"Anaist? Leidse. Why did you assist in Joasim's plan? ”

Lloyd got straight to the point.

Long pain is better than short pain, and sometimes, instead of cowering away from the spearhead, it is better to get straight to the point.

"Oh yes. Still don't get it? To reach the great realm of wisdom, of course. Forget it, your intelligence can only reach this level. That's why that [comrade] is different. ”

Aneste's tone was like that of a fanatical believer, and the colors of madness composed a frenzied music on his face.

"That is to say, it is not controlled by true knowledge, but it is aiding the crime with its own will, which is an additional crime."

"Crime? That kind of thing is just human talk, right? From today onwards, Crossbell will become the new Holy Land, so what is the need to follow the old rules? ”

“…… Well, we don't have anything to say. How exactly did you and Joachim get together, and what happened, I will ask you in detail after I arrest you. Now, you flash me aside! ”

Lloyd couldn't suppress the indignation in his heart, his hands were already protected by his side, and his companions also took out their weapons. Anest was obviously outnumbered, and he didn't panic at all.

"Ah, that's right. Foolish people are foolish because they are dull. Then, let me show you the power granted by the great [Comrade] to be able to reach the realm of [Mako's Wisdom]! ”

After Anest finished speaking, the seven yao veins suddenly began to gather under his feet, and the dark purple color wrapped his feet like a quagmire, and then, like a thorn, and like an octopus tentacle, something purple flew out of the mire, and swallowed Anest at once.

Randy knew that something was wrong, and immediately raised the berserker, not wanting Aiolia, who had been standing stupidly next to him, to suddenly throw out a flying needle, Randy was afraid of some strange medicine quenched on it, so he quickly dodged it, and with this sluggishness, Anest had already completed what he had to do.

That's, monster.

Breaking free from the shackles of purple and seven yao veins, a monster was born from the irregular cocoon.

It was three or four sub-distances high, like an enlarged human-like monster. However, the skin was a dry and hard green keratin skin, with fine lines like a lizard, as if the structure of the muscles was completely exposed, and Aneste's body swelled greatly. The hair also turns dry yellow.

This image is simply unheard of......

If there's anything similar, it's probably the one I've seen once, the executor candidate, the demon summoned by the phantom.

"Come, let me see! Aha ”

With Aneste's wild laughter, the monster waved his hand and summoned a purple magic sword, slashing at the six people, kicking off the battle.
