While Lund chased the second tribe, I headed to the lab.

Clap! Clap!

There was more water coming out of the laboratory through the entrance that General and the other water generals broke than expected.

“Ray, it would be faster to just fly.”

“Yes.”

“Sila, hold on tight.”

“Yes!”

Ray and I pulled out both wings from our backs at the same time.

The two wings were similar, but had a slightly different appearance.

As soon as it started flying like that, Janggun and the other water generals followed suit.

‘I don’t know about the general, but I don’t think the others will be able to do it.’

When I checked the crack in the bulkhead that Ray and Scylla had come through… no matter how I looked at it, it was too small for another giant water general to pass through.

-Hwiik!

I passed through the gap in an instant and turned my head to see the group of generals and generals following me.

Sure enough, the general, who was smaller than the other water generals, passed easily, but the other water generals did not.

“We go first!”

I shouted to them to open the gap in the bulkhead and chase after them.

Meanwhile, the sight of the general following closely behind me and Ray was very scary.

The humming sound of wings flapping at extremely high speeds added to the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the general was shaking the front part of his body.

‘No, you can flinch while flying?!’

“Oh!”

In the short period of time that the general had stolen my attention, I almost hit the wall.

Then Silas, who was in my arms, became frightened and instinctively twisted her body around.

“Sila, it’s okay, just stay still.”

“It was dangerous just now!”

I wanted to somehow make it go away, but Silas had no choice.

“Chris, this way!”

Fortunately, Ray widened the gap in the bulkhead where he had arrived earlier, so instead of getting into a fight with Scylla, he completely escaped the laboratory hallway.

“Hey, what is this?”

“…A lot happened.”

According to what Ray and Sila said, it seemed like this was the place where General Lee and the group of giant water generals swept in first.

Perhaps that’s why it was difficult to find anything intact inside the biological sciences department’s lab.

“Chris!”

As I was looking around, I heard a voice calling me.

“Silvia!”

Looking at the Blue Heart Office group and Dr. Octopus next to us, it appears that the researchers collaborating with us are safe.

The place where they were located was a place where various manipulations could be performed, such as making announcements inside the laboratory or introducing test subjects from other compartments into the laboratory.

I wondered if it was safe because it was located at a higher altitude than the rest of the lab.

“Wow, there is no place that is not flooded.”

It’s a shame I’m wearing lab boots.

Ray and I didn’t waste any energy and flew comfortably to reach them.

“Silvia, how is the situation?”

Sylvia answered me even though she was relieved that I was safe.

“First of all, the lab’s power has been neutralized. And the handsome head of the research institute seems to have locked himself in his office.”

Dr. August, the octopus beast, explained the situation in departments other than the Department of Biological Sciences.

“It looks like there was some damage in each department.”

While the general and the group of giant water generals were active, it seemed like there was some problem in each section.

Meanwhile, looking around, the bodies of the lab security guards who had been cut by something sharp and the remains of the security androids were strewn everywhere.

“Key profit!”

As soon as I saw him, the general on my back made a strange sound.

‘Are you bragging because you did something good?’

“Is this all about lab security?”

“The protective facilities deployed externally will still remain in place.”

“It must be said that we did well to shake things up from the inside.”

As soon as Dr. August finished speaking, Sylvia joined the conversation.

“So what are you going to do next?”

“How to do it. I have to finish dealing with that warden.”

Johnny, who was behind Sylvia, answered my question instead.

“We will first take control of the laboratory again.”

At the same time, Dr. August mentioned that this laboratory is a dedicated management site for the Iscariot security system.

“Ah, I think I saw it when I was taking the elevator.”

“We will turn off the protective facilities.”

The doctor and I only said what we had to say to each other.

Of course, the doctor’s words were more important than my words about the elevator.

“So that means we can just deal with the lab director with peace of mind?”

When David asked, the doctor nodded yes.

“Silvia, I’m going to go outside for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Sylvia reacted to my words as if asking if that was necessary.

“I did go to Lund… but it was too much of a waste to miss the second tribe leader. I’ll try to be sure if possible.”

“I’ll go too.”

“No, Ray, you stay with Sylvia.”

It wasn’t just Ray. The second subordinate, the general, was also ordered to act together with the Blue Heart Office group.

It would be enough power to deal with Research Institute Director Ahant who had hidden in his office.

“Chris, you shouldn’t overdo it, right?”

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind!”

My colleagues didn’t stop me anymore.

In an urgent situation like now, there was no time to waste.

***

While I went straight outside the lab.

War clouds were hanging everywhere outside the laboratory.

As expected, members of the second tribe were besieging the Ahant Aquatic Biology Laboratory.

Once again, the troops dispatched by the anti-Lidocaine forces were besieging the second tribe that had surrounded the laboratory.

The second tribe was literally surrounded from front and back.

I don’t know what the warden was thinking, but he let the second branch leader and his officers in, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of letting the other members in.

‘Is there any meaning to such an ambiguous situation?’

Did the tribe leaders and officials think they could control the situation?

Ha, that’s stupid!

Anyway, the second tribe was reminiscent of Caesar in the Battle of Alesia, who was surrounded on both sides by Gallic tribes during the Gallic expedition.

A situation where you can’t do this or that because the lab’s protective equipment isn’t turned off.

On the other hand, the forces of the anti-Lidocaine forces surrounding them were gradually applying pressure as they approached them.

‘Where is Lund?’

It seemed like the members of the second tribe would somehow end up in a showdown without me having to step forward.

I’m sure the troops sent by Lund’s friends will take care of it.

With that in mind, I flew at a higher altitude.

‘It’s a good thing there are no gargoyles around here.’

Even if there were gargoyles, they wouldn’t have been able to do anything to me, but it was clear that finding Lund while dealing with gargoyles would be difficult for me as well.

“Um….”

As I narrowed my eyes and looked here and there, I was able to identify the second tribe leader.

Strangely, Lund, who had been chasing him and other executives, was nowhere to be seen.

I don’t think Lund would have been harmed by them.

Of course, I decided to keep in mind the possibility that something like that could have happened just because I was catching someone.

Meanwhile, the closer I got to them, the more I was able to understand their situation.

Apart from the members of the second tribe besieging the laboratory, there were anti-Lidocaine forces pursuing them.

Seeing that Lund was missing… I thought he was probably leading them from the rear.

In any case, it was not an easy sight to see a vampire as high as the president of an association fighting while leading by example on the front line.

I said I dealt with the guy who used hallucinations…

The executives who move through the shadows, the muscular twin executives, and even the deputy leader who led the second tribe just a moment ago.

The tribe’s executives seemed to still be alive and well.

No matter how much they were being chased… then it was understandable that Lund was not chasing them directly.

‘Is there no room to use more T-belts?”

Since he and the executives around him had been moved outside of the laboratory, he thought it would take more time to teleport using the T-belt.

I quickly transformed into the form of a baby bat.

At the same time, he hovered near the troops of the anti-Lidocaine force pursuing the tribe leader and officers.

Indeed… I was able to see Lund’s appearance nearby.

“Lund!”

“What happened to the lab, and how did you come all the way here?”

Lund asked as soon as I, in my baby bat form, landed on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry about the lab. Sylvia and Ray will take care of it.”

Oh, I forgot about the general. Well, that wasn’t important right now, so I decided to just move on.

“I’ll join in too.”

“Okay, then we can push them back faster than planned.”

“Ugh!”

Lund’s shoulder, where I had been a moment ago, disappeared.

This was because she transformed into the form of a white dire wolf.

“Wait a minute!”

I said while urgently holding on to her abundant fur.

“Hold on tight.”

What I had said to Silas, Lund was now saying to me. Judging from the fact that his reaction toward me was not indifferent, it was clear that Lund judged my cooperation to be essential, at least in this situation.

“Lund, are you trying to deal with the second tribe leader?!”

“Of course.”

“I have a good idea. Would you like to hear it?”

“….”

“Want to listen?!”

Lund was moving around with me on his back, and when I kept shouting, he said he would listen.

***

After a while.

The forces of Lund and the anti-Lidocan forces drove the second tribe leader and officers to a critical point.

Lund, in the form of a giant wolf, appeared, and from the second tribe, the deputy leader appeared alone.

“What, are you trying to be bait?”

“What we are aiming for is not the destruction of the site.”

Lund’s words are obvious.

Soon, the forces of the anti-Lidocaine forces began a wave of attacks against the branch leader, and Lund and I took advantage of the opportunity to approach the branch leader and executives.

“Scatter away!”

The second branch leader shouted to the officers who were maintaining a relatively close distance.

It seemed like they thought we would sweep out all the executives at once.

“I’m sorry about this, what should I do?!”

What Lund and I are after is one person: you, the second tribe leader!

With all eyes focused on Lund, I suddenly appeared behind the tribe leader.

Although it was only a return from the appearance of a baby bat to its true form, it was enough to confuse the enemies and catch the leader of the tribe.

-Kwasik!

I immediately bit the back of the second tribe leader’s neck.

Although my body is not lacking in blood, I started to suck in as much blood as possible.

“…!”

Despite my actions, the tribe leader did not scream in pain.

He tried to get me off somehow using the dragon’s limbs and dragon’s blood-stained tail.

‘Yes, that tail!’

What I was aiming for was that dragon’s tail.

Rather than having both arms become ferocious due to the influence of dragon blood, having a dragon’s tail could be said to be the second tribe leader’s strength.

So, if I suck the blood of the tribe leader, wouldn’t I be able to steal the dragon’s blood deep inside the body?!

While thinking that, I didn’t stop sucking blood.

“Chief leader!

The executives of the second tribe tried to protect their tribe leader even in an unexpected situation, but there was no way Lund would let that happen.

The sight of a huge white dire wolf rampaging came into view.

‘Okay, if it stays like this!’

I felt like my body was gradually receiving signals.

The amount of blood needed for a vampire’s activities has already been consumed.

Just a little more! Just a little more!

Maybe it’s just my mood, but I feel something coming from the tailbone of my butt…

I thought it was the same!

“Kaaak!”

The second tribe leader seemed to have caught on in that brief moment. I was caught by the dragon’s thick tail and thrown around.

Fortunately, I didn’t lose consciousness or anything.

I quickly shook the dust off my clothes and headed towards Lund again.

The executives were fighting desperately to stop her, risking their lives at all costs.

“….”

It seems that it had an effect.

Even while his men were fighting like that, the second tribe leader showed no clear action.

“Huuuuk… Huuuuk….”

He was just breathing hard to regain his physical condition.

On the other hand, there were noticeable changes in my body.

-Pop!

With a strange sound, I noticed something sharp that could be felt through my clothes.

Finally, I too have a tail!

Even though it is as insignificant as a bamboo shoot!
