BVAHEDLA[W Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Zerg 24 “I… am leaving.”…

“I… am leaving.”…

“Can we even deal with this kind of alien beast?” Custer couldn’t help but ask. He had never seen such a huge alien beast before, not even in the simulated combat courses at school. This made him wonder if something unexpected had happened.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, this kind of alien beast was not something that first-year students like them could handle.

Although Custer was a bit arrogant and presumptuous in his daily life, part of the reason was due to his transmigrator identity. Did this self-proclaimed high-dimensional being, who considered himself the “protagonist,” really care about the feelings of “NPCs”?

However, Custer’s judgment in battle was extremely reliable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to kill several powerful alien beasts in the late stages of the original story and ultimately save the entire Zerg empire.

“Are you kidding me? What is the academy doing? This is a damn ghost.” This was Payne’s voice. He spoke very quickly, like a precursor to anger, but if you listened carefully, you could still feel the fear hidden beneath the anger.

Amoris undoubtedly believed that if any oblivious person went up to him now, Payne would definitely kick them.

“Tsk…” Even Carlos, who was usually seen as calm and steady, couldn’t hide the heaviness in his tone after seeing such a monster. His voice was transmitted to Amoris through the team channel.

It seemed like he was waiting solemnly, or perhaps… disgusted.

There was no fear.

This was quite out of place compared to the figures fleeing in all directions.

Amoris naturally wouldn’t miss this point. He narrowed his eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing in his blue eyes.

Logically speaking, even in the military, it was extremely rare to see alien beasts of this level. As a prince, Carlos had been protected by the royal guards since he was a child. Even if he was calm, collected, and capable, could he really not have a trace of fear when facing this kind of alien beast?

Amoris also thought about how Carlos was positioned as a villain in the original story, but his final plan was not successfully implemented. Therefore, there was not much description of the villainous organization he established in the original story, not even a name was revealed.

What exactly was Carlos’s hidden identity?

Amoris calmed down, but now was obviously not a suitable time to think. He barely dodged a tentacle that the alien beast swung over.

The alien beast’s scarlet and soft body tissues were constantly secreting mucus, leaving trails during its movements. The ground, rocks, and mecha that it touched were left with sticky water marks, which reflected light at first under the sunlight and gradually solidified, emitting a fishy smell.

Amoris’s hands moved non-stop, and the hands operating the mecha were almost a blur.

He could think about Carlos’s matter later. The most important thing now was to deal with the alien beast in front of him.

Only in this way could there be a glimmer of hope.

The academy must have discovered such a large alien beast. They haven’t been able to come to the rescue for so long, so something must have happened outside the exercise area, making them unable to help.

As for running away? It wasn’t that Amoris hadn’t considered this possibility. He didn’t have any heroic complex, nor was he the kind of person who would sacrifice himself to protect others.

He didn’t run because the benefits of running away might not be as good as fighting head-on.

Through his observation just now, Amoris had discovered that although this alien beast was large, it didn’t affect its agility. Its snake-like body meant that it was not slow. In addition, it had two pairs of tentacles, which were very flexible and attacked extremely quickly.

More importantly, if this alien beast was the work of the people from the Noah Arena, their target was him, so they must have a way to lock onto the target. In Amoris’s view, this probability was at least 90%.

If he only ran away, the end result would be that the mecha’s energy would be exhausted. If he couldn’t wait for the academy’s rescue, he would only be able to stay here.

It was not Amoris’s style to place his hope of survival on others.

Running away would only lead to death. Only by fighting could he seek the possibility of survival.

In just a few minutes, the entire exercise area had become a mess. After all, it was difficult not to see such a large alien beast.

Among them, there were also some smart students who quickly calmed down after being frightened and figured out the key to the problem like Amoris. They didn’t know that the alien beast’s target was Amoris; they only thought it was an accident.

Of course, there were indeed a few fools who thought this was the final boss arranged by the academy. Holding the idea that “decisiveness equals giving away for free, hesitation equals defeat,” they charged and then ran.

For a time, in addition to the figures fleeing in panic, there were also a few figures who stayed firmly. They mustered their courage, and the silver-white mecha drew streams of light in the air. The most ordinary standard mecha was driven by them with an invincible momentum. For a moment, one would have thought they were from the military.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, the attacks of the immature students could not harm the alien beast at all.

A thick tentacle swung over, and several mecha fell straight down and could no longer move. Fortunately, the protection program installed by the academy earlier meant that the students were probably only unconscious and not in life-threatening danger.

The few people closest to the crashed mecha were stunned by this scene. Even the courage they had managed to muster earlier vanished in an instant.

They realized that they were terribly wrong. They had no correct understanding of the alien beast in front of them.

Before the battle, they still held the hope of jointly annihilating the alien beast. If the ones they had encountered before were just small fries, then the alien beast in front of them was the elite among alien beasts. At worst, the fight would be longer. Even if they were just scratching, they could scratch the alien beast to death.

There was still hope.

But after seeing the horror of the alien beast in front of them at close range, the last glimmer of hope they had originally held also dissipated.

If hope had not risen in the first place, there would be no disappointment.

Witnessing the disappearance of hope with one’s own eyes—

This was true despair.

Impossible…

How could such a monster be defeated…

Louis was one of the people closest to the “sacrificed” students. In fact, one mecha almost crashed into his mecha.

He trembled as he put his hand on the mecha’s thruster, wanting to escape.

But the mecha remained motionless, still standing in place.

What’s going on? Has the mecha’s energy run out?

Louis’s face turned pale as he thought of this possibility. He turned his gaze to the mecha’s display screen, only to see that there was still more than half of the energy left.

Then why wasn’t the mecha moving? He had clearly tried his best.

Could it be that the thruster was broken?

Puzzled, Louis had no choice but to turn his gaze to the other side.

He saw that his right hand was shaking like a sieve, gripping the thruster lever.

But the thruster still remained in place, not moving at all.

Louis then realized that he was surrounded by fear and couldn’t muster any strength. His legs were soft. If it weren’t for the straps on the chair, he might have already slipped down.

…

In an instant, Louis felt as if the blood in his whole body had congealed, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

“Be careful on the left.”

At this moment, a cold voice came from the channel, like a clear spring in the mountains, cold and clear.

Louis’s body almost subconsciously reacted to the voice, dodging an attack from the alien beast.

Immediately afterward, a particle cannon followed closely, successfully hitting the alien beast’s tentacle.

At the moment of impact, a burst of white smoke rose from the area where the alien beast was hit. Louis saw the alien beast’s tentacle writhing in pain and then locked its target onto the person who fired the particle cannon.

Louis followed and looked over. The other person’s body was hidden in a standard mecha like theirs, and he couldn’t see his face clearly. He had never heard that voice before.

It seemed that he didn’t know him.

He calmed himself down. The fear from before was weakened a bit because the alien beast was injured, and his hands were no longer limp and weak.

If he could survive, he would get to know him later.

Thinking this, Louis felt as if something in his heart had become firmer. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reached out to the mecha’s console again.

At the same time, a hand was operating on the mecha’s control panel at an almost inhuman speed. Amoris carefully dodged several attacks from the alien beast. Before he could even catch his breath, the alien beast’s next attack came.

He was the one who fired the particle cannon that hit the alien beast just now, so now he was attracting a lot of hatred.

But Amoris felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

At least the attack could produce an effect. Next, as long as he could restrict the alien beast’s movements, he would be mostly successful.

Even if he couldn’t kill it, at least he wouldn’t face the worst outcome.

Amoris fired another particle cannon in the blink of an eye.

This time it hit the alien beast’s head.

Unfortunately, the alien beast’s head was covered with a thick layer of shell, and it looked like this attack would not have any effect on it.

Seeing that Amoris’s attack was effective, Carlos and Custer followed closely. One fired particle cannons, and the other tried to cut off the alien beast’s tentacles with a light sword.

Other students followed suit.

However, this greatly angered the alien beast.

Its huge tentacles heavily slammed the ground, and the rocks disintegrated in an instant, turning into small stones that rolled down, causing bursts of thick smoke.

Some people couldn’t dodge in time and were thrown dozens of meters away.

Amoris’s expression became more and more solemn, and a gloomy look rarely appeared on his usually gentle face.

This was troublesome.

Amoris looked at the mecha’s energy. There was only 13% left, and the mecha had already started to warn that there was insufficient energy.

If…

His hand touched his ear, where there was a simple black ear clip.

Thanks to Irwin, he still had another mecha.

But once it was exposed—

Amoris frowned.

Suddenly, his terminal rang.

Amoris quickly glanced at it. It was an unsigned email.

There were only a few words on it:

Ten minutes later, north.

But Amoris still recognized the owner of this email. It was Phil.

Just like he said a month ago, the other party had arranged a way for him to leave, although he didn’t know how he did it.

However, ten minutes—

The alien beast’s huge body occupied all of Amoris’s vision.

Could he really leave?

Phil was a member of the Noah Arena’s operation. He must know the plan. How could he be sure that he could leave?

And did he really want to leave?

For some reason, even though the situation was so dangerous, Amoris still saw a silver-white figure in his heart.

However, before he could think about it, the alien beast’s attack had already arrived.

Amoris maneuvered the mecha to dodge left and right.

However, soon, just as Amoris was still thinking about how to dodge the next attack with the little energy he had left, he knew where Phil’s confidence came from.

A stream of red and white light streaked across the distant sky, approaching at an extremely fast speed, like a silver spear. Amoris recognized it almost at a glance. This was Arnold’s exclusive mecha.

No wonder Phil sent him a message at this time.

Arnold was here, so victory was a sure thing.

So far, every battle that Arnold had participated in had been a victory. He had never been defeated.

The name Arnold represented victory.

As long as they saw Arnold, it meant that victory was already in their grasp.

With Arnold’s addition, the battle became much simpler.

Arnold’s mecha was not comparable to their standard mecha. Like cutting melons and vegetables, the originally arrogant alien beast soon turned into several pieces.

Although this alien beast was a considerable threat on its own, there was only one of it. In the battles that Arnold had faced in the past, the most threatening thing was not one or two powerful alien beasts, but a tide of alien beasts.

Seeing that the threat was resolved, everyone deactivated their mecha one after another. The academy’s medical staff entered the arena one after another at this time and took the injured students back for treatment.

Soon, there were only a few people left.

Seeing that Arnold was still observing the alien beast, Amoris told the medical staff that he was not injured and asked them to treat the other students first. Then, he came to Arnold’s side in three steps and two steps.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this alien beast?”

Hearing Amoris’s voice, Arnold shook his head.

Then, he turned his head, and there was obvious worry in his red eyes: “Are you not injured?”

After Amoris repeatedly said that he was fine and Arnold carefully scanned him, the worry in his eyes disappeared a bit.

“Let’s go, someone will come to deal with this later.”

Arnold said. As for this exercise, with such a big thing happening, the academy would be busy apologizing and compensating for a while, so they wouldn’t be able to take care of this.

He immediately wanted to take Amoris away.

Suddenly, he saw something, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

“Be careful!”

But it was too late.

The body of the alien beast, which had been cut into several pieces, had not completely died, and its tail, which was covered with sharp bone spurs, swung fiercely in Amoris’s direction.

In an instant, Arnold felt his heart jump to his throat, and all the images slowed down in his eyes. His body reacted faster than his brain—

Amoris had already felt it when the alien beast moved, but the alien beast’s movements were too fast. It was impossible for him to avoid it with his body alone.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, but surprisingly, he suddenly felt his body fall into a warm embrace.

His body fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came from his back.

Amoris opened his eyes. A shadow covered most of the sunlight, and the other party’s silver-white hair fell naturally, surrounding him tightly, leaving only the two of them breathing.

Amoris’s eyes widened.

For a moment, he could only hear the intertwined breathing of the two people.

“Hiss—”

Arnold groaned softly.

Suddenly, a bloody smell came.

Amoris saw a bright red color falling down Arnold’s silver-white hair and dripping on the ground.

The originally pure white color was stained with a bright red color, like red plums blooming quietly in the snow.

It was beautiful.

But it was also excessively cold.

“Arnold!”

Amoris felt like his body was not his own, and he didn’t know what to do next.

He tried to control his hands so that they wouldn’t tremble, and carefully pushed Arnold away. Without looking, he could tell how badly the other party was injured just from the bloody smell he smelled.

It was only at this time that he seemed to understand something.

As long as the Noah Arena didn’t give up on him, as long as the Noah Arena was still alive for one day—

Then he wouldn’t have peace, and the people around him would eventually be injured because of him.

So—

It was time to make a decision.

He gently hugged Arnold, as if he was holding something fragile:

“Sorry…”

“I… am leaving.”
