Chapter 150: The Sanguine Aegis (1/2)

”The Head and Sir Daisuke are...”

The same phrases escaped the mouths of the five Elite Members.

Well, of course, anyone would have the same reaction when they heard and saw Nysia's reactions to my words. Only I would have the gall to call her by name like that.

Err.. I also kinda blurted it out when I saw her worried face. This girl just worries too much, maybe it will ease up when I finally become a Transcendent like her.

”I told you to hold your position.”

Not minding the five and not closing the communication with them, Nysia grumbled to me.

”Err… Circumstances. We would be surrounded if we didn't move.”

”Haa. You'll go back with me later, alright?”

With a sigh, she accepted my reason before asking another question.

”Sure. I'll hitchhike there, it would be nice to ride an Ultimate Metagen. I'll give you a massage as payment.”

I nodded and smiled at her. And I felt that's not enough, I teased her to release some tension.

Hearing that, Nysia blushed through the screen. Before she could form a smile, she pouted her lips.

”Don't make me smile at this time, idiot. I'm turning this off. And you five. Never speak of this to anyone else, understand?”

This girl, she purposely let them hear our conversation. That just shows how she wanted our relationship to be known by others but due to circumstances, we couldn't yet.

”Y-yes!”

The five Elite Members saluted and stuttered as they acknowledged her order.

”Sir Daisuke… you and the League Head.”

Dali asked while the other four looked so eager to hear my answer, the previous tension they had was already gone from their faces.

”Un. It's like that, so I don't need to repeat what she said, right?”

I nodded and made the tone of my voice turn cold.

”Yes! I see. That's why you believe we'll survive in an hour.”

Well, I let them think like that. For now, with the focus of the enemies turned to her, the Metagens chasing us started to retreat.

Nysia's Metagen was known to everyone, be it those who live under the three factions or even the vagrants who lived outside the civilization. No one will mistake that Sanguine Aegis as any other Metagen.

Compared to a normal Metagen, its height reached 15 meters, a reddish-pink giant metal robot with a womanly figure, it's almost like how Amry's Metagen was built, except the Sanguine Aegis is bigger. Furthermore, it didn't have any other weapon attached to it except a huge Morning Star, the spikes on it are made from Pure Regenium just like my sword. One bash from it when it is coated by her ability can easily break the defenses put up by the enemy and mercilessly bash into it ignoring the hardness of any armor.

Her Defense Manipulation can be applied to almost anything but of course, there are certain limitations to it.

Because of her complete trust in me, she told me the skills she got from her ability starting from Armor Control until it evolved up to Defense Manipulation.

Enhance or Reduce Armor at Silver-rank, Armor Empowerment at Gold-rank, Defense Amplification at Diamond-rank, Shield Mimicry at Legend-rank and when she reached Mythic-rank Defense Penetration or Protection.

She told me that every time it evolved, it would enhance the previous skills to keep up with her strength. Using all that Skills along with the Orb of Reinforcement, she became impenetrable. Well, not really impenetrable but she just completely mastered the use of her abilities to suit her combat style.

She's still at least a kilometer away but the aura she's exuding was enough to make the standard Metagens almost trip on their own feet. When she reached them, every one hit from her weapon, two or three standard Metagens would explode, ignoring the hardness and regeneration property of a regenium.

”Good, good, good. Colluding with and feeding the Darkbugs. Let me sentence you all to death! You even had the gall to…”

When she's done, dealing with those who were late at retreating, Nysia's voice filled the air. She already saw the Darkgens at the distance and that was enough evidence for her.

Her voice was already bone-chilling but when she added that last sentence, even if she didn't complete it, it's like the Horror personified to the enemies.

The two Specialized Metagens who were chasing after me also started to fall back. No matter how strong they are or how many they are, they'll be scrap metals in front of her.

Not even the three Mythic-ranks of the three factions could put a dent on her Metagen, what more a bunch of standard Metagen and few Specialized Metagen.

With the appearance of Nysia, even the slight danger that I was feeling earlier was already gone.

That guy who seemed to be Rank SSS+ also cowered away as he started his own retreat.

Upon seeing that, I started another communication channel to Nysia. This time, just for the two of us.

”Nysia. That one Metagen who seemed to be their leader. Don't let him get away as well as the other Specialized Metagens. Ah. Wait. I'll deal with those two.”

”Don't you need to rest? Leave these small fries to me.”

”I'm your Companion, you know? I won't let you do all the work.”

”Stubborn.”

Err… Am I stubborn? Maybe… I can't find a word to retort on that.

”You became silent, stubborn guy. Take care, alright?”
