Chapter 148: The Purple Haze against Three Specialized Metagens (1/2)

To have three of them at the same time and they're unidentified. Newly produced or hidden from the public? Nysia told me to remember every known Specialized Metagens for me to identify their affiliation instantly but these three were not in any databases.

Their resources are really deep, eh? This much firepower for only one Patrol Team? They're truly dead set on burying us here, with the first-hand information still with us.

They might or might not have already known about the report I sent to Nysia and the cracking up on the Executives connected to them.

And what they're thinking was that if they clear this place before reinforcement arrives, we would surely be treated as MIA with all evidence erased by them.

Maybe it already happened before and the report was sent to their accomplice leading for Nysia not knowing what really happened.

However, this time, they didn't know that the new Core Pilot was someone really close to her and that she would personally be the reinforcement. Let's see their surprised look later.

In any case, these three were serious threats.

”Three Specialized Metagens. We're doomed…”

Seeing those three, the morale that I had just raised up plummeted once again.

”No! I believe in Sir Daisuke! Don't lose hope. He said one hour, so we'll survive this in one hour!”

Nell shouted waking up the four who became downcast. At least someone still believed in me. I still haven't used my newly acquired skills upon stepping here. Energy Drain and Energy Amplification. I guess that will be put to a test now.

”Great job, Nell. If you don't believe me at least you should believe in yourself that you can survive this predicament. And if that's still not enough, you can all surrender to them now. I don't need weak-willed subordinates who will just drag me down. Maybe they'll let you live or torture you for information, anything goes. So choose now whether you'll continue following me or succumb to your weak heart.”

Through the screen, I could see the other four contemplate before steeling themselves and look forward with determination in their eyes.

Seeing that, I just nodded and looked up to the upcoming three Specialized Metagens.

”Continue moving the way we planned it. You all know your abilities. Nell, you lead them. I'll take the three Specialized Metagens with me.”

”Y-yes sir!”

She was surprised but after a while, she saluted and started giving out orders.

I turned off the communication channel with them and focused myself to retaliate against the three attacks coming from those Metagens.

They also ignored the Primeval Knights and chose to deal with me, the only Specialized Metagen among us.

One of them is gold in color with wings on its back, it was flying above me and through the flap of its wings, it sent feather-shaped projectiles to rain down on me.

The second one is a silver Metagen which seemingly has a control on clouds. From above it, a huge patch of dark clouds formed above with occasional thunderbolts. Those thunderbolts then started to hit the said Metagen for a few times, instead of being damaged, the Metagen channeled it through the Metagen and formed a thunderbolt aura around it as it started discharging bolts of lightning towards my position.

The third one is an ice-blue Metagen who only pulled a Gatling gun from its back and rained down bullets to my position. Every bullet it spewed out were all white in color, upon hitting something, it would expand and freeze it.

Three projectile types of attacks in three directions sounded like a death sentence to anyone that would be bombarded by it.

However, before any of it reached me. The Purple Haze spewed out smoke to cover their sights.

Some of those projectiles were unavoidable that's why…

[Energy Amplification has been activated]

[Energy Burn has started.]

[Burn Rate: 27 units of Flux Energy/second]

[Gained 27% increase in all abilities, skills and energy effectiveness]

[Will expire upon Energy Depletion or deactivating Energy Amplification]

I activated Energy Amplification before creating four clones using Phantasmic Doppelganger.

From the purple smoke, four identical Purple Hazes burst out. Three of those went straight towards the three Specialized Metagens enduring whatever they're shooting while the fourth seemingly sprinted away from the place.

The three Specialized Metagens dodged the three clones when they got near them after judging that the clones were rushing in as sacrifices for the fourth one to successfully escape.

Upon successful dodge and maneuver, they immediately chased after the fourth Purple Haze.

The golden winged Metagen stopped the projectiles and flapped its wings again as it glided from the air to follow the fourth Purple Haze.

The silver Metagen also used his thunderbolts to seemingly increase his speed as it chased after the winged Metagen and the fourth Purple Haze.

Not bothering about the three clones they dodged, the three Specialized Metagens all turned their focus on the fourth one which is, of course, another clone.
