“A man should keep his word. You brought nothing from the academy? Then, take off all your underwear and get out of here. Then I won’t kill you.”
It’s okay if you hand over the Telos-related items contained in your clothes, or you can’t.
It’s more convenient for both parties if it’s just a verbal offer, so it’s a formality before being overpowered by force.
“… Minho Moralis.”
Dean Graham’s face turned red after being humiliated, which would not have been surprising if the faucet turned. When has a person of that level ever heard something like this? I’m probably the first.
But Dean Graham showed patience one last time. He said, suppressing his anger that threatened to explode like a volcano.
“You are definitely strong. However, as a subject who underwent biological experiments at the Moralis Laboratory, it is also an undeniable fact that his lifespan is not long.”
“Keep talking.”
“… The Kingdom of Achanta is a nation that reveres strong military power. With the strength you showed, they will somehow find a way. Don’t you want to live as long as other humans?”
Dean Graham spoke as if spitting out each word, glaring at me with glazed eyes.
“Yes. It would be possible to start a family. You’ll meet an obedient wife who doesn’t know your past and start a normal family. Maybe we can have children.”
If it’s marriage, it’s already been done in the Tuseonhyeophaengnok world. The opponent was the daughter of the head of the Namgung family, one of the most prestigious families in the world of martial arts.
‘Although the child has no thoughts for the time being.’
“But obtaining Telos does not solve the problem. Even if you are injected with Telos once again, your lifespan will not change.”
Eat.
“?”
As I quietly listened to what he said, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Because it was fun to see him trying desperately to appease me with his eyes rolling.
“Do you think I’m doing this because I don’t want to die?”
“… Then why are you doing this?”
“Because you have what I want. And above all… It’s fun.”
“Fun… ? You think this situation is fun?”
Dean Graham looked at me as if I was crazy. I gave him an ultimatum.
“Do you still see me as that shit test subject? The test subject, the lifespan… My tongue keeps getting longer, so I think I can jump rope. Answer within 5 seconds. Do you want to pass it on? Or do you want to die?”
“… … .”
Dean Graham closed his mouth and said nothing.
“5… ”
Finally, the moment I started counting, Dean Graham suddenly jumped back and shouted.
“It’s a unique entity, a mutant! Since it is mimicking the appearance of a human being, it must be killed immediately here! Never miss it!”
“… You’re quick to judge.”
Watch as they change their attitude as soon as they determine that negotiations have broken down. It looks like he didn’t survive until now due to luck.
Of course, that literally ends there.
Crash.
As time slowed down, the facility’s troops were seen raising their firearms.
I don’t know what we talked about, but they could have known that something unusual was happening.
It wasn’t a good death to die for choosing the wrong person to follow, but I didn’t feel sorry for them. Anyway, it was a decision they made of their own volition.
I have cleaned out the nearby mutants, so the refugees can move to another place.
‘I don’t know if it will be any consolation, but I’ll send Dean Graham with me, so you can keep company.’
As I thought this was the last time, the memories I made while traveling came to mind.
On my first day at Ruined Aka, I killed my roommate, who was a supporting character, and was taken to the dean. And as a kind of loyalty test, they gave me a pistol and told me to shoot the rebels. At that time, I thought I would kill the dean one day because I was so fed up with his attitude of telling me to do this and that. I never thought I would achieve it in the end.
“The judgment was quick, but… Was that really the right decision?”
“Shoot!!!”
Ride, ride, ride!!!
At Dean Graham’s signal, the shooting began. Some agents seemed to have gathered all their stamina and even used their supernatural abilities, with attacks flying like magic.
Kwaaaang!!!
The dust that had settled due to the explosive power rose again.
“… … .”
I could feel the presence of an agent out of breath due to the excessive use of his supernatural abilities. You can also hear the sounds of soldiers roughly grinding magazines and loading guns.
I threw my arms forward and started a fever. Although he could not directly manipulate the wind like Janey, it was possible to exert indirect influence in this way. These were all ways to utilize this ability.
“How… !”
The dust was blown away by the hot wind, and Dean Graham was astonished when he saw that I was fine.
I grinned and tapped the shield next to me.
“It’s a shield that blocks guns in the SF world, but it’s light enough.”
This is a combat android bulletproof shield taken from the New Kind world. Although there are some scratches, there are no functional problems. You have to use it sparingly until it becomes tattered.
“Shall we guess the number first?”
I muttered as I saw the soldiers and agents pointing their guns again. And at the same time, the Awaken members stored in the inventory were poured out.
“Awaken… Assemble!”
-Ugh… really.
Maria sighed, but couldn’t help it. It’s a line I’ve always wanted to say.
The androids that came rushing out received orders from Maria and rushed to the barrier.
I was thinking of leaving the guys shooting on the wall to Awaken. Everyone is wearing a battle suit, so it’s unlikely that anyone will break down in a fight like this. Even if it breaks, Maria can fix it as long as the electronic brain is not damaged.
“What is this again!!!”
“Mu, is it a mutant?! Damn it, guns don’t work!!!”
“I have to get out of here!”
The facility’s defenses are seen collapsing in real time. This is a scene where you can really feel the enormous difference in technology. I caught a glimpse of it and spoke to Dean Graham.
“Let the subordinates fight amongst themselves, and let us mind our own business.”
“… It’s full of things I don’t understand. It’s like I’ve become a different person. Have you really become a mutant?”
Dean Graham, who was mumbling like that, shook his head.
“I guess it’s not important right now. Now that things have come to this, I will kill you and leave this place.”
“What about your subordinates?”
“They are the ones who followed me anyway out of inertia. Even if I take you there, there is no place to use it.”
“Kuh… Is this it? Is there such a thing as a floor at the bottom?”
While I was admiring Dean Graham’s personality, he threw the gun aside and took a stance. I guess I threw it away because it didn’t work anyway and was only a nuisance.
‘I’ll have to pick it up when I clean up.’
Seeing me already concentrating on the loot, Dean Graham said with a solemn look on his face.
“People only know that the strongest agent is Layton Cord. But to be precise, he was the strongest among the second generation agents. During the mission, he fell into a rebel trap and was killed in the line of duty… ”
“Ah, that… Actually, I submitted a false report at that time. Layton Cord wasn’t killed by the rebels. You’re dead to me. Honestly, I thought I would have figured it out by now, but I guess I didn’t know because the kingdom fell without time to do further research.”
“… … .”
Dean Graham seemed slightly shocked by the unexpected news, and his solemn face cracked.
‘It looks like you don’t know that I killed the king. How would you react if I told you that?’
-Are you a devil?
“It wasn’t that he changed, but he revealed his true colors.”
“Wrong?”
“… I’ll crush that arrogant face!”
Crackle!!!
An unusual sound was heard from Dean Graham’s clenched fist.
“Migration of Layton Code… The strongest man among the first generation agents, ‘Iron Man’ Albert Graham! That’s the nickname others used to call me!”
With those words, Dean Graham’s body began to turn black starting from his fists. I wondered if he had the ability to turn black, but his completely black skin had a metallic sheen, as if he had applied metal paint.
“This is [Telos – Metalicum]. It is an ability that strengthens my body to have the same properties as metal!”
“Oh… !”
“It is not simply about durability. Physical ability also increases several times. I admit that your fire is hot, but before it can even melt my skin, you will be caught in my hands and your neck will be broken and you will die!”
“Oh… !!”
It was definitely an ability that put a lot of visual pressure on me.
‘The ability to change your body into metal… ‘
I thought it was a pretty cool ability.
Even though it gained the hardness of metal, the flexibility of the body seemed to remain the same. His entire body, including his face, had clearly turned black, but his mouth moved naturally when he spoke. It meant that he knew how to completely control his supernatural abilities.
It seems that the words he said himself as the strongest of the first generation were not empty words.
“But… ”
I said that and kicked the floor hard.
Dean Graham’s image instantly filled my field of vision, as if I had been teleported.
Phew!
“!”
“Did you think that if you spoke so harshly, I would get nervous and make a mistake? Are you going to show me any loopholes?”
Ugh!!!
“Keheuk… !”
The sound of a bell was heard from Dean Graham’s abdomen as he met my fist without even being able to react properly.
