Chapter 320: The Grave

Gotham Cemetery.

Gotham City was originally such a lifeless city. As the city's largest cemetery, it is particularly eerie and dark. And in the drizzly weather, this atmosphere is even more set off.

In the dark and deep night sky, a red cloak that swayed in the wind slowly descended. Kara's red boots landed lightly on the dirt ground, as if she were afraid of alarming the dead who had been sleeping here.

The boots sank gently into the rain-soaked dirt, and every step they took felt like they were about to be sucked into the ground. Kara brushed back her hair from her forehead, her blonde hair already soaked in the rain.

If Superman were here, he would have told her that it was too dangerous, that you weren't ready, or something. Metal men may be an almost over-intractable problem for a fledgling Kryptonian girl, but so what? She wants to prove that she can solve real problems, and not just live under the protection of Superman.

Now, she's up to find out exactly where the metal man is, and what he wants to do.

A cold gust of wind blew, and at the same time brought with it a terrible howl like that of a female ghost. Kara felt a chill run down her spine, and her hairs stood on end.

Theoretically, she's a supergirl now, she's invulnerable, and there's nothing to be afraid of at all. But a girl who is alone in such a place can't help but feel furious at the bottom of her heart without giving a reason.

Distractions aside, now the focus is on finding the metal man. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the coffin where John Coben was buried with X-ray perspective

Thinking so, she immediately realized that there was no need for it.

About five meters or so at her feet, the soil loosened. With a soft thud, a metal fist burst out of the earth, pressing against the ground, propping up the complete set of metal skeletons beneath the soil.

The metal man burst out of the ground like a resurrected corpse, carrying a large dark black coffin on his shoulder.

He noticed Supergirl.

"Do all of you guys with 'S' on their chests have the same virtue?" The metal man exclaimed in annoyance, "I just want to be quiet a little bit, is it that hard!?" ”

There was a dull thud, the sound of a heavy black coffin falling from his hand. Almost at the same moment, the metal of one of his arms began to twist and deform, and in a matter of tenths of a second, it stretched into a long mechanical tentacle that grabbed at Kara through the air.

Kara turned sideways to dodge as she kicked her toes on the ground, sending an invisible wave of air from the heel of her boot and the soil of the ground being violently lifted like rain.

Almost at the same moment, the baffle on the metal man's chest quickly slid open, revealing the dazzling green kryptonite heart. Thousands of green rays of light shot out in all directions like a salvo of arrows, and at the same time carried powerful krypton radiation.

"Bang!"

Like two oversized bullets colliding with each other, Supergirl crashes headfirst into the metal man's memory metal shell. She maintained the super-speed inertia of the moment she rushed out, but her body was quickly weakened by the short period of exposure to Krypton radiation for a few tenths of a second. Eventually, the collision deflated the metal man's front shell, revealing a few sparkling circuits in the two small pieces that fell off, but Kara's own situation was not much better or worse.

She fell to the ground with her head on her back, struggling to roll over, her fists braced in the damp dirt trying to gather strength to get to her feet, the black soil stained with the red cloak.

But the metal man, even if he can be injured, even if his body will be broken, he has no nervous system, no pain. Without the slightest pause, he immediately stood up again, the memory metal quickly repairing the damage to his body, and the green light released from his chest poured down unreservedly on Kara, who was not yet half-lying on the ground.

"Even Superman can't beat me." The metal man said, arrogantly stepping forward.

"Why do you think you can?"

As he said this, he slammed his kick out and slammed it into Kara's abdomen. Kara let out an "ahh

The metal man approached her, his cold feet mixed with damp earth stomping on Kara's neck, the dazzling green light on her chest making her brain faint and nearly suffocate.

The metal man raised an arm, twisted and deformed, and a dagger made of short green kryptonite stretched out from the tip, flickering like a green fluorescent glow in the night.

The shadow of death looms over Kara. At this moment, she felt so vulnerable, as if she had changed back to the girl who had left in the only escape pod, watching her loved ones destroy along with her home.

No—I'm a supergirl, not the little girl who couldn't do anything about it when she watched her hometown fall.

Today, I will no longer be swayed by fate!

Facing the dazzling green light, her beautiful blue eyes instantly turned red, and the scorching energy quickly brewed, like a heat wave that could not be pressed and was about to burst.

"Ah~!"

With a loud roar, the hot vision in his eyes poured out, piercing the green light curtain, fusing the metal man's arm holding the kryptonite dagger, and shooting straight into the sky!

The metal man was stunned.

Of course, Kara didn't let go of his momentary stunnedness, and split the foot that was stepping on his throat with one palm, and at the moment when the metal man lost his balance and fell, he raised his knee and slammed it, and a dull sound of "clang" echoed in this empty cemetery, and the metal man was blasted into the air by her strong force, and fell to the ground hard.

Kara gasped and got up, her steps still shaky, but she managed to stand up straight.

"Not bad, little girl." The metal man - with no real damage, of course - stood up again, "Maybe I did underestimate you. ”

He lifted the fused hand, which quickly deformed from the broken arm, and stretched out a delicate metal pistol with a faint green glow from the transparent chamber.

"As a token of appreciation," the metal man grinned weirdly, "let me leave you a special gift." ”

The trigger pulled, and the green stone tore through the air and whistled out.

Kara gritted her teeth and tried to hide, but her legs were like lead, and she didn't listen, let alone fly.

"Faster than a bullet", this sentence pales so palely in front of a small kryptonite.

"Poof".

Fragments of kryptonite easily pierced through her otherwise steel-solid skin and into her chest.

Kara staggered two steps, tilted her head, and planted herself in the grave that had been dug up behind her.

Is this her grave?

Maybe she would die here, and at this moment she was almost sure of the thought. Little by little, the world in front of me became dark, and the life force flew through the fingertips. Even the cold rain that hit his face seemed to become numb little by little.

You're really going to die, right?

It was as if I saw a burst of flames from an explosion flash from above.

It's incredible, he has super hearing, but the explosion that was so close at hand was as far away as if it came from the sky.

The dark figure pierced through the flames and jumped down to her side.

His code name, she recalls, was Winged Knight.

"Take a deep breath and relax." Roy said in a slow, rapid voice. (To be continued.) )
