Quaaa-!!!!!
“Ugh!!! It exploded!!! Ahhh… uh… ?”
“Did you buy it? ? Am I alive and not dead yet?”
“Ears, I can’t hear… !”
People who crouched in preparation for the explosion showed various reactions. Some people were lying on the floor trembling after hearing a loud roar, probably thinking they were dead, while others quickly assessed the situation and confirmed that there were no life-threatening injuries.
I don’t know what happened, but one thing is certain: my life was saved. Soon, one by one, people got up from their seats with puzzled expressions on their faces.
“What is it? There was definitely an explosion sound as if something exploded… ”
“But other than that, the wall is fine. Honestly, I thought this place would turn into ashes like the checkpoint.”
“I also saw Zuma Deung.”
After roughly gathering themselves, they stuck their heads out over the wall and tried to look at the place where the unusual entity had tried to cause the explosion. However, I could not see properly because of the heat that threatened to cook my face.
Cheeek…
“It’s hot… !”
“Ugh… ”
“Damn, I can’t see anything.”
A sound like something burning was heard outside the wall. Perhaps it was caused by the remains of ordinary mutants, excluding special ones, catching fire.
If things continued like this, it was clear that a lot more time would be needed to check the situation outside.
In the end, Dean Graham decided to take action himself.
Although the heat he felt was unusual, he was confident that he could survive to some extent with his abilities as long as it was not the moment the flame exploded.
And most of all, we had to find out the identity of the comet-like object with blue flames that appeared the moment the mutant mutant was about to explode.
It appears that the facility’s walls were protected thanks to the object, but if it were another unique mutant, the facility could have been abandoned.
The speed of the blue flame that broke out in an instant was such that Dean Graham could barely follow it with his eyes.
I briefly checked the equipment and stood up.
“Wait here. I will check and come back.”
“Captain… ! It’s dangerous!”
He jumped from the barrier, leaving behind the agent who was trying to catch him.
Boom!
It wasn’t a place that could be said to be extremely high, but the wall was well over a person’s height. This meant that the height was not high enough for a strong, muscular adult male to jump with various types of weapons.
However, even though there was a heavy landing sound and the surrounding dust was pushed into a circle around the landing point, Dean Graham looked around without blinking an eye.
And he was able to see the shadow of a person beyond the blazing haze.
Due to the boiling temperature of the air, it was not possible to clearly identify the person, but it was clear that it was not a mutant who was trying to cause a fiery explosion just by looking at the silhouette at a glance.
Crash.
“… stop. Identify yourself.”
Dean Graham cautiously approached behind him and aimed his rifle.
Hwiiingㅡ
As the wind blowing from a distance blew away some of the heat, I was able to observe the target in more detail.
The unidentified person appeared to be a man. The upper body, studded with sculptural muscles, was heated by heat, creating a blazing haze.
‘Wait, you’re naked?’
A question arose in Dean Graham’s head.
Standing in this scorching heat without any clothes to protect you?
Dean Graham, who was shocked for a moment, soon figured out the answer himself.
‘… no. It’s not that there is no equipment to protect you. ‘He is the one who created this heat that I feel now.’
As expected, the blue flame that was immediately destroyed by the mutant was this man’s work.
A person with such powerful abilities. Even when Dean Graham was active as an agent, there was no one with this level of skill.
Layton Cord, who was evaluated as the strongest among the agents, was also a story seen from the human category.
‘The output of fire power is different… ‘Are we the same human being?’
This ability is never a power without a price. It is an ability that erodes stamina the longer and more powerfully it is used.
Excluding mutants with unknown mutations, there was a reason why the output of the abilities used by people with supernatural abilities, including agents, were all at a similar level.
At that time, the man who heard Dean Graham’s voice turned his head towards him.
Sigh…
“Put your hands above your head.”
‘what… ? It’s a face I feel like I’ve seen before… ‘
Dean Graham thought without relaxing. As he ran the academy in the Kingdom of Halem, he was confident in remembering people.
There weren’t that many people with the ability to control fire. Basically, elemental abilities were rarer than abilities related to physical abilities, but fire had a particularly strong tendency to do so.
‘okay. The test subject from Moralis Lab also had the ability to control fire.’
In Dean Graham’s memory, the experiment used a unique fighting method of accelerating its body and striking the enemy by exploding fire.
‘for a moment… Now that I think about it, what the test subject looked like… ?’
Dean Graham muttered a name he thought he had forgotten.
“Minho Moralis… ?”
Minho, the man who was observing Dean Graham while tilting his head, had a bright smile on his face when he heard that.
“Dean Graham? Is it the dean…? ? It was a little difficult to recognize because the atmosphere had changed.”
“Really, really? But how… !”
Minho’s tone was so informal that it was unimaginable in the past.
But it was not such trivial facts that Dean Graham was focusing on now. It was that Minho had reappeared alive and using his incredibly strong abilities.
The Minho that Dean Graham remembers was an agent who went missing after being tasked with guarding the palace with Janey.
When the king was assassinated and parliament collapsed due to terrorism, it was naturally assumed that they too were dead.
In fact, those incidents were all Minho’s actions, and it was a misunderstanding that occurred because he disappeared without leaving any witnesses. When the bomb exploded at the Capitol, there were not many intact bodies left, making identification difficult, which was one of the reasons why Dean Graham had the same illusion as he did now.
“You… ”
Dean Graham felt joy boiling deep in his heart.
If this amount of power were added to the group of agents, they could gain a position that was completely unrivaled even against the Achanta Kingdom.
The Achanta Kingdom is basically a country that reveres military force. Even with the recent mutant incident, having the strength to protect oneself has become more important than ever.
The plan to use Telos as bait to negotiate with the Kingdom of Achanta from a disadvantageous position ended up with a card that should have been put in the trash can.
Dean Graham first hid his joy. Then, I calmly held my weight and spoke to Minho.
“I will turn a blind eye to the fact that there has been no news for the past few months. Originally, this should have been considered desertion, but under the circumstances, there was nothing we could do. Instead, you should make up for your mistakes by making the same amount of merit.”
It was a natural statement from the perspective of Dean Graham, who did not know that Minho and Janey had betrayed the agent and killed the king.
Now that the Kingdom of Halem was ruined, everyone thought they were dead. This means that it was possible to start a new life in another country if you wanted to.
It wasn’t that he lacked ability. Although he had to be careful of what people thought, he had a higher chance of leading a more prosperous life than others because he had special abilities.
Nevertheless, it was clear that the reason why he had come to Dean Graham in the Kingdom of Achanta so precisely was to join him. Dean Graham couldn’t think of any other reason.
‘No, Minho Moralis is the laboratory’s experiment subject. The remaining life will not be long enough to live a normal, quiet life. If so, that explains why he came to see me. Probably to solve the lifespan problem.’
The Minho he knew was a test subject who underwent body enhancement experiments that drastically shortened his lifespan. I don’t know how he was able to display this powerful ability, but Dean Graham was convinced by his guess.
It was an idea that Minho could do because he didn’t know that the test subject was a fake identity created using a placebo ID card.
‘What is this bastard saying now?’
Of course, Dean Graham’s words didn’t make any sense to Minho.
If Dean Graham had not been here, Minho would have had to return to reality empty-handed. This is because there was neither the time nor the motivation to search other areas. Fortunately, I was lucky and found my target as soon as I arrived at the Danube border area.
So I smiled with joy…
As soon as we met each other in the face, what he said was no different from telling me to re-enlist. The good feeling of winning a prize all at once cooled off.
Still, since he had something to aim for, Minho planned to say hello first.
‘Long time no see. Dean Graham.’
“Is this crazy? Does he still think he’s my boss?”
“What… ?”
“Oh, just thinking about it… ”
