Mystical Journey Chapter 831 - Lurk 3

At the outskirts of Blackboard Region.

In the wilderness, a crippled, half transparent red-white mech materialized and landed gently on the ground as it flew out from a black electric ball that had momentarily appeared in the sky.

“Hahaha!! I managed to escape! That f.u.c.king b.i.t.c.h! Sooner or later I will strip her bare and enjoy myself on a bed!!” the Red-White Mech tumbled a few steps forward before laying on the ground. White smoke was coming out from its body and weird noises were coming out from it as well.

“Where is this?”

The Mech shrunk with the c.o.c.kpit as the epicenter to the point it became a small white ring. A man in a tight white suit, whose body was smoking, appeared underneath as the ring fell onto his palm.

“The Body is ninety percent damaged… sh*t!!… What a terrifying woman. Even the Absolute Light Curtain wasn’t able to completely block her attack,” the man had white hair and looked rather pale as he gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

He raised his head and looked towards the horizon, in the direction of the Blackboard Region.

“I’m close to the target. Unfortunately, my communication device is broken, I wouldn’t be able to know how the others are doing.”

He took out a white small item that resembled a compa.s.s and gently pressed on it. Immediately, red blinking dots started appearing on the screen.

“I’m the first one to get close to the target?” Hehehe… There’s still hope!” the man’s eyes glowed.

Howl…

Suddenly a deep roar could be heard from behind.

Behind him, at least ten grey giant wolves that stood at the height of half a man appeared. These wolves growled at him as their eyes glowed green in color. Each and every one of them looked extremely hungry.

“Evolved Creatures?” the man turned around. “Normal cla.s.s Evolved Creatures dare to approach an elite like me? You’re courting death!”

The Evolved Creatures came about when the humans entered the interplanetary era, and interplanetary interactions caused the virus to spread and mutate from one planet to another. After a long period of time, the powerful Evolved Creatures were born. Most of these creatures maintained their physical features and had their physical attributes boosted tremendously to adapt to the ever harsh environment.

Simply put, they were the latest generation of wild creatures. Although they were stronger than their ancestors, they were still ranked lower on the food chain when faced with humans.

The man gently touched his forehead with his finger and an invisible ripple spread out. As these ripples came in contact with the wolves, tens of these wolves immediately exploded and died.

The impact of a level five Willpower was so powerful that it could easily kill these lower Willpower beasts with a small ripple. This was because their Willpower was much lower, even when compared to a commoner.

“It’s time to infiltrate the region, heh. The Forbidden Core… it’s something that is hindering all the good stuff,” the man stood up and his s.h.i.+rt automatically transformed into an outdoor photographer’s get up. He even had an anesthesia gun on his back for self-defense.

The man adjusted his looks and smiled satisfactorily as he walked directly towards the Blackboard Region. There was a perfect boundary line over there. There were quite wide boundary zones separating the regions. These zones were uninhabitable by humans as most of these places contained high radiation and their environments were very harsh. After all, most of the planets that were populated by humans weren’t a hundred percent livable for humans, and most of these places had their environments altered artificially by atmospheric alteration technology to suit human needs. Even so, there were many places that were dangerous and uninhabitable for humans upon the surface of the planet.

***********

“Life No. 1! Attack!!”

Ugh!!…

Red Moon almost vomited a mouthful of blood as he stared at Clint, who was surrounded by a bunch of stupidly huge Mechs with an awkwardness that couldn’t be described by words. He couldn’t believe that the Mech that he’d a.s.sembled with his blood, sweat, and tears had been called Life No. 1!?

He then s.h.i.+fted his attention to the table beside Baylon. The appearance was according to the regulation as it once again turned into a small red pin.

“Why are you naming them so casually..!!?” Red Moon stared at the Black Mech in the garden helplessly. “My order to you is to a.s.semble these mechs as fast as you can. Why are you not increasing your pace!”

Clint changed into a black attire as he walked around the Mech with a stupid smile on his face. “This is a Mech!! Hahahaha! I too have a Mech now!! Hahaha…”

“This… I’ve finished applying the machine oil for you… Lord Red Moon,” Baylon mustered up her courage to speak up softly as she put away the handkerchief that had been used to apply oil onto the pin.

“Okay. It feels good after taking a bath. Put me back into where I fit, quickly,” Red Moon was rather satisfied with her.

“Alright…” after Baylon knew about her transformation and Red Moon’s ident.i.ty, she was quick to accept reality. Although this person looked weak and fragile, she too had harbored a dream of becoming a pilot for a long time and the people who gave her the opportunity were Red Moon and Clint. She was very grateful to them, so she would do everything to the best of her abilities for them.

“Is there anything else you want me to do, Lord Red Moon?” Baylon asked softly.

“Hmmm, there’s nothing for you to do now. You haven’t slept since you came back yesterday so you should go and have a good rest. Compared to that idiot over there, you sure are quick to accept the truth, and you have a strong mental fort.i.tude as well,” Red Moon admired Baylon.

“Understood. Thank you for your praise, Lord Red Moon…” Baylon felt shy as she lowered her head. “Although I’m useless… I can still do some simple house ch.o.r.es.”

“Alright. Go get some rest and leave the rest to me!” Red Moon urged.

“Okay.”

Baylon stood up with her face red and walked into the house.

The incidents were still replaying endlessly in her mind.

With all of these sudden changes, her tone had started to turn neutral. She had always thought that she wasn’t manly enough and this transformation seemed to have ripened this temperament. Her chest started bulging and underneath her…

Although her brain was filled with a lot of explanations, the training method consisted of its relevant explanation, which was obviously added in by Lord Red Moon. However, Baylon still felt like hiding her figure from the public. After cleaning herself up yesterday, she’d immediately covered herself up from the top down to her leg with a black attire, which was made out of a combination of two black s.h.i.+rts. In addition to that, she’d even used a mask to cover half of her face, revealing only her eyes. To make herself even more hidden, Baylon even wore a pair of huge spectacles to hide her face.

“Pilot…” she sat at the edge of her bed as she clenched her fist silently. “It feels just like a dream… Do I really have the potential to become a pilot?”

She still couldn’t believe it herself.

“Don’t worry. Soon the opportunity will present itself,” Red Moon’s voice had directly pierced through her soul.

“Lord Red Moon…”

Ahhh…!!

Outside, Clint started shouting loudly as if something bad had happened to him.

After the explosion incident, they had crafted a lie that they were caught in the battle between Mechs and fed it to his sister. They had then temporarily settled down in this secluded garden.

The bakery shop owner whom Clint’s sister worked for soon returned back into the city to handle the inquiries, and this morning Red Moon had just realized that the secluded areas were now locked down and no one could go in and out freely. The strange behavior was obvious and it might be because Blackboard Region may have discovered the importance of the ripples that he had spread out. In order to protect himself, Red Moon was on the move once more…

“Quickly set up my Mech! Stop slacking!” Red Moon shouted loudly.

“I understand!!! Ah!” Clint, who was a very careless person, needed to be scolded and supervised daily by Red Moon. If not, he wouldn’t be able to finish his tasks in a.s.sembling the Mech in time.

“I’ve exhausted what little amount of energy I have left to disguise the environment for a maximum of twelve hours. If you’re not done within twelve hours, we’re all going to die!” Red Moon scolded angrily.

Inside the house, Baylon lay down and looked at her broken Watch Terminal.

“I wonder if mum and dad are worried… There’s even brother and sister… Perhaps as someone who isn’t that significant, no one would be sad over my disappearance…”

Her family had sacrificed her sister and her future to place all their hopes on her brother Nonosiva as he was admitted into the Blackboard Academy. Everyone hoped that he could turn the family’s condition around for the better. No matter if it was her parents or grandparents, they didn’t really care for her and her sister at all; all they cared about was her elder brother Nono for he had been the favorite son since young.

Baylon was still fine as many of her friends were friendly and comforted her. However, it was a different story for her sister as she had been mixing with others on the streets since young. She had given up on herself and decided to not care for anything as she didn’t have the money to attend school. Technically speaking, she and her sister were on totally different paths.

Inside the garden.

Clint exhaled as he placed the big mechanical piece in his hand into a sunken part.

Suddenly a red line appeared in between them and two parts were immediately pulled together and fit in.

With a mechanical noise, the final part of the Mech had been successfully a.s.sembled.

“I’ve already set up the connection installation procedure beforehand so that the a.s.sembly wouldn’t be too difficult. The only problem with this is that it would require a considerable amount of strength. You don’t lack the strength but if you were smarter, the a.s.sembly would’ve finished a long time ago.”

Red Moon started to complain about him with an unhappy tone.

“Isn’t this finished…” Clint felt helpless.

“Finished my *ss! If it was another person, he would’ve finished two Mechs with the time you’ve taken! You piece of s.h.i.+t. How dare you talk back with such low efficiency!”

“Yes yes, I am a piece of s.h.i.+t…” Clint was already immune to his insults as he talked back while he climbed up the Mech through its knee with some difficulty. With Red Moon’s instructions, he soon finished a.s.sembling the c.o.c.kpit’s entry as well.

Sizzle…

White gas started to spew out slowly from the c.o.c.kpit as it opened up slowly. Inside, it was completely filled with the smell of chemical and mechanical oil.

“Well, hurry up! Go in there and try it out!”

“Okay…”

As Clint sat inside the c.o.c.kpit, he felt that he had sat on something sticky and wet. After all, the environment inside was still rather humid.

“Currently, the habitation system isn’t installed in the c.o.c.kpit. There is no hydraulic suspension, radiation reduction, nothing. This is because I made this Mech from scratch, so other than the control system, every other system is currently down. Those that can still be used have already been taken off since most of their parts were abandoned due to the high repair fee. They’re not functional even though I’ve fixed them.” Red Moon’s voice could be heard from the outside. “Next, you need to try and pour in your Willpower and learn to walk.”
