Chapter Index

    Danube border area.

    It is the outermost region of the Achanta Kingdom, adjacent to the border with the Kingdom of Halem.

    And at the same time, like the refugee camp in the Kingdom of Hadar where Zenii was located, it was a place with facilities to accommodate refugees from the Kingdom of Halem.

    The Achanta Kingdom had a particularly strong military power compared to the other two kingdoms. Should I say that’s why? The treatment refugees received was also more strict and cold, but their safety was clearly guaranteed.

    Considering that the fundamental cause of the refugees was the threat to life caused by mutants, the somewhat oppressive attitude of the Achanta Kingdom was not a consideration for the refugees.

    That was the case until just recently. That story is now a thing of the past.

    The problem is that, just when the mutant raids seemed to have stabilized to some extent recently and military discipline was about to be relaxed, the frequency of mutant raids toward the Danube border area suddenly increased sharply.

    In fact, that was the influence of Minho wandering around the Kingdom of Halem in search of Janey, but they did not know that fact.

    Just holding on right now was difficult.

    The facility’s capacity had already reached its limit, but new refugees suddenly appeared in large numbers. There was no need to mention the rapid increase in mutant attacks that followed. Thanks to this, the people who were in trouble were not only the refugees and the soldiers of the Achanta Kingdom who had to protect their own territory.

    Dean Albert Graham, who decided to naturalize to the Achanta Kingdom in return for helping them with their work, and several agents who followed him, also had to take the lead in fighting mutants.

    “Hurry! A unique object has appeared at Gate 2! shit! Where did it come from suddenly?”

    “The news is that the eastern checkpoint is likely to be breached! Spread the news to other checkpoints! We have to come inside and defend ourselves!”

    “Damn it! Now they’re even breaking through the checkpoint?”

    Except for most of the refugees who were packed into shelters provided within the facility, groups of soldiers and agents ran in all directions without a break.

    “Damn it, I can’t believe I came this far and still had to fight mutants… ”

    “I’m so tired… Mutant babies don’t sleep? How is it that it pops up all day and night and is so damn… ?”

    “Still, you can get proper military assistance here, right? At least the facilities are sturdy. If the situation is like this, it’s a blessing.”

    Some agents were complaining and some agents were trying to stop Dean Graham in a euphemistic way while watching him.

    “… … .”

    Dean Graham watched this and quietly smoked a cigarette.

    He is currently the representative of the refugees, and at the same time, he is in a position to lead a group of agents brought from the Kingdom of Halem.

    However, there were a few problems.

    Dean Graham was the head of an agency that oppressed the people for the vested interests of the Kingdom of Haylem.

    However, in the Kingdom of Achanta, Dean Graham was simply in a high position in the Kingdom of Haylem, so they assumed that the refugees would follow him and placed him in the position of representative of the refugees.

    Thanks to this, Dean Graham had to listen to the refugees’ complaints as well as look at the group of agents who followed him.

    This fact presented a very difficult problem to him, who had only tried a convenient way of leading through EDP-427.

    At best, refugees can be oppressed with their power and status, but they were not the agents who stopped taking EDP-427.

    There are no longer subordinates who obediently followed any orders given by their superiors, and it was clearly visible that they frowned and swallowed their dissatisfaction when they were not convinced.

    He still follows Dean Graham as his leader, but if this situation continues, he doesn’t know when he will show his teeth at him.

    Dean Graham pondered whether he should hand over Telos, which he was keeping in his possession, to the Kingdom of Achanta.

    I didn’t like the idea of ​​already using the best bargaining chip he had, but I didn’t want to wait for the right time and get stabbed in the back.

    At that time, an agent with an urgent look came running towards Dean Graham. They were personnel who had gone out to provide support at the eastern checkpoint.

    “Gasp… Captain! It’s a big deal!”

    As Haylem Academy disappeared, the agents who followed him began calling Dean Graham “Captain.”

    “What’s going on?”

    “The checkpoint… Penetrated by a unique entity! Mutants will come here soon!”

    Dean Graham is located on the outskirts of the facility. If the checkpoint was breached, it was only a matter of time before the mutants came running here.

    However, it was strange for the agent to make a fuss, saying it was a big deal.

    “Calm down. The defenses here are sufficient. The level of armament is different from the checkpoints temporarily installed to filter out refugees.”

    “That’s not it! That mutant… Like a devil from hell… !”

    Kwagwagwagwang-!

    “!”

    Behind the gibbering agent’s back, a violent explosion erupted, and flames that chased away the darkness rose up.

    Indeed, as he explained, it was a scene that looked like a pillar of fire from hell was spewing out from the ground. It was a fire that clearly appeared to have originated at a checkpoint.

    Dean Graham couldn’t take his eyes off the scene and opened his mouth blankly.

    “Alternative… ?”

    “Ugh… !”

    The agent, who had clearly escaped from the checkpoint, ran inside the facility after delivering the news to Dean Graham.

    At first glance, the behavior appears to be panicked and looking for a place to hide. Whenever Dean Graham sees such pitiful sight of humans, he thinks, ‘If EDP-427 was still there…’ ‘I couldn’t hide my regret.

    If such panicked personnel attacked their allies during battle, a catastrophe would occur. He did not bother to catch the fleeing agent.

    Dean Graham was momentarily taken aback by the pillar of fire that suddenly lit up the dark sky, but soon calmed down and gave instructions.

    “If a fire like that broke out, the checkpoint is already wrong! From now on, any living organism that approaches the facility will be killed! No need to report!”

    gulp…

    The eyes of the nervous agents and soldiers turned to the flames raging in the distance. How long did I wait like that? Against the background of the blazing flames, an approaching object began to come into view.

    It was a group of mutants running through the fire.

    “Aaaah!!!”

    “Look back!!”

    “Fuck!! What is that!”

    Too-doo-doo-doo-doo——!

    It was the humans who stopped the attack first. They were completely fed up with the sight of a swarm of mutants running towards them, not even caring that their bodies were on fire.

    There was no distinction between agents and soldiers as they fired bullets while screaming loudly. Although the agent could use supernatural abilities, it was not efficient enough to deal with such a large number of enemies. This is because the consumption of physical strength is so great.

    Alvaroi’s fighting skills, extraordinary ability. Agents who knew how to use both could be said to be experts in dealing with humans, but these were ambiguous skills to be effective against mutants.

    The mutant’s fighting style was so bizarre and varied greatly from individual to individual that the advantage of Alvaroi’s fighting skills was greatly reduced, and due to physical strength issues, the mutant’s ability was difficult to use for anything other than short-term decisive battles unless it was used for auxiliary purposes in combat.

    Still, some agents who could control the air or the ground set up traps at a distance that could destroy the mutants’ lead.

    Kaaagh——!

    Some of the mutants who were running at the front fell under the hail of bullets and traps. However, the number of mutants that were clearly greater than the number that fell came running, crushing the corpses of their compatriots.

    Those who survived and reached the facility soon clung to the wall and hit their bodies until their fists and heads were broken.

    It wasn’t enough to be called a fortress, but it was a strong enough wall. A situation where all you have to do is kill the mutant before he can somehow climb up the wall.

    But Dean Graham did not relax.

    “… It’s coming.”

    This was because the unique mutant that caused this mess was approaching right now.

    Cheeek——!

    Wow!

    The unusual entity that burned the checkpoint approached the facility while spewing out flames intermittently. In the process, there was a sound of the flesh of the mutants passing by being cooked and burning, but they were not people who had any sense of camaraderie in the first place.

    There were also troops who turned their guns to target unusual objects.

    However, he cleverly hid behind the other mutants, who were burning like firewood, and behind the raging fire.

    It would have been nice to have been lucky enough to have a bullet hit the head, but that didn’t happen.

    As he approached the thick walls of the facility, the flames surrounding him inflated in an instant. From anyone’s perspective, it looked like they were preparing an unusual technique.

    Whoosh——

    “What, what?!”

    “It explodes!!!”

    “Stop it!!”

    “It’s late! Damage!”

    People’s reactions as if they had seen a time bomb with one second left until it exploded.

    However, Dean Graham, who was confident that he would not die, was able to see it because he did not avoid his gaze until the end.

    A blue flame that crosses the field of vision and instantly reaches a unique object.

    “Blue… Flame?”
