Eight HORNET jeeps were seen approaching from a distance of 1 kilometer from the Shinobi shop. They were part of the army preparing to attack and seize James' body. This time, the plan was to carry out the attack on a larger scale than before, even bigger than when they hunted the monsters. They were aware that attacking the Shinobi shop and taking James was not an easy task, especially since they had to deal with monsters in Centerfield that had much greater strength compared to those in Landfield.However, what was confusing for the HORNET soldiers was that when they looked through the binoculars, none of the monsters were near or around the Shinobi shop. There were only two people there; a tall man wearing black armor that covered his entire body, gold gauntlets, and a cape, and a formidable woman whom they recognized as Sisca. Sisca stood on top of the Shinobi shop with five firearms in her hands."Hey, there are only two people there! Sisca and there's one more person wearing arm
Sisca fired several of her weapons, dozens of bullets were immediately controlled, deflected to target the legs of the HORNET soldiers, because Sisca did not want to kill them. However, one of them had the ability to create a protective shell on all HORNET soldiers, so that Sisca's bullets could not hit them."Ghost! Break the barrier!" Sisca exclaimed.James responded to the call by lunging forward, he landed a punch on the sheath very hard. It turned out that one of James' punches was able to break the sheath, and caused a huge gust of wind that pushed back several HORNET soldiers. Not stopping there, James jumped forward and grabbed the leg of the person who could remove the sheath. He then threw the body into the wall of the Shinobi shop and was instantly knocked unconscious. Then James also kicked the knee of another person until his leg was broken.The other soldiers did not remain silent, they took turns attacking James using their sharp weapons. That much attack certainly coul
The red-scaled Unchegilas ran for their lives. The terror that James had given for three months proved to have succeeded in making a very frightening specter for the monsters in Centerfield. Even Axel, who planned this, did not expect the effect to be this big. From the reaction given by the Unchegila, it was certain that James' alter ego as Ghost must have traumatized the monsters deeply.The only surviving HORNET soldier, Randall, was also surprised by what happened. He himself was confused why the monsters ran away when they saw a human like James. He was sure that James Winter could only keep up with Zen, the person they killed in the HORNET hall. That level of strength shouldn't scare the monsters.When Randall turned to James, he found a pair of James' eyes piercing him with a very horrible look. his eyes were red. Unlike the radiating red eyes of the monsters, James' red eyes seemed to be focused. Randall finally realized that those eyes were the source of James' other super ab
A metallic blue jeep was traveling at high speed on a winding highway, heading towards the river bank that cut through the suburb of Landfield. Randall, an experienced driver, suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a quick stop. With hasty movements, Randall got out of the car and hunted towards the narrow passage that led to the stream, towards the entrance of NEST.In the distance, two monstrous figures stared attentively. Although they were powerful monsters, Sasha's orders had bound them not to attack humans for the next three months. Their role was limited to watching the movements of the HORNET humans from a distance.A proud man sternly gazed at the scene, while a woman named Emilia, who had a cool ponytail hairstyle, a hat, and sunglasses, responded with caution evident in her voice."Emilia, what do you think? He's only alone. Wouldn't it be so easy to fight an unarmed person like that?" asked the arrogant man with a smile."Don't ignore the rules, Leonardo. You
Henry frowned, surprised by the information he had just heard. He never thought that HORNET would use hostage exchange tactics in this kind of situation. Unable to hide his confusion, he asked, "What are they doing a hostage exchange for? I've never heard of HORNET using that kind of tactic before."Randall, who seemed hesitant to provide more information, was visibly agitated. He licked his lips several times, seemingly wavering between whether to tell or not. Eventually, however, he decided to explain albeit hesitantly, "Some people supported James Winter, and we managed to capture them.""Hmm... how many people were involved in this exchange?" asked Henry, trying to understand the situation better.Randall took a deep breath before answering, "Only two people we captured."Henry was surprised at the small number. He wanted to know more, "Who are the hostages in this case?""Rico and a woman who was with Anne when it happened, Lisa," Randall said in a slightly shaky voice, showing h
"Mom?" Kirei was surprised to hear the nickname. So was everyone else in the room. The name 'Unchegila' refers to a mythical creature known for having scales and fangs, similar to the monsters that had been their opponents. Many speculations arose from various parties that they were the result of experiments, biological weapons made by other countries, or even aliens. However, the naming of 'Unchegila' opens up a new interpretation, that they may actually be mythical creatures that have now become real."Unchegila..." Axel stretched his fingers as he pondered deeply. So far, he had never found concrete evidence of mythical creatures that only existed in stories. Human-bodied wolves, vampires, manticores - they were all just fiction. However, the existence of these Unchegila began to make Axel doubt the truth of this world. Could the creatures really be real and perhaps planning an invasion like the Unchegila had done.Questions about the Unchegila's true identity plagued their minds.
Five days have passed. Today was the day of the promised hostage exchange. Both sides are now on the border between Landfield and Centerfield, in an empty warehouse on the edge of Centerfield. The warehouse was abandoned and located far away from residential areas, abandoned because the factory that managed it went bankrupt three years ago due to the declining quality of the workers. It was obvious that the employees were Unchegila who couldn't operate the machines properly and took a long time to understand. Their instincts override their logic despite having human memories.From the HORNET side, Henry and Michelle descended on the scene with a dozen HORNET soldiers. All of them carried weapons and were also complete with their capes and masks. Lisa was with them, held tightly by one of the soldiers. While on James' side there were only three people who came, namely Gordon, James, and also Sisca. The three of them did not wear cloaks to hide their odor like those worn by the HORNETS
The team hiding on top of the exchange building planned an elaborate strategy. They carried a special weapon that had lethal power with the ability to explode twice like a cluster bomb. However, what made this weapon even more terrifying was its ability to spread poison directly if the direction of fire was deflected.Their plan was very detailed, planned to deal with individuals with extraordinary abilities. Sisca, with her exceptional homing ability, was the prime target. The poison dispersed would inhibit her physically, making it difficult for her to use her powers. Meanwhile, the weapon with adamantium bullets is designed to penetrate James' sturdy armor. Gordon, on the other hand, has a weakness in his armor that will disable him after 10 minutes, providing an opening to injure him.The importance of incapacitating Sisca became a primary focus due to her role as a deterrent to ranged attacks. This plan was carefully designed to deal with each individual and their special abiliti
"Mother Grizzly's telekinesis can only be used on one object. When she is using telekinesis, she will choose to avoid attacks rather than fight with telekinesis. Right now Mother is using telekinesis to make herself levitate. She can't move on her own because she has no legs now, meaning she can only rely on her physical strength to fight you, James," Sasha explained with a grin.Mother pouted in annoyance. "Even knowing the secret of my power won't allow you to defeat me, Sasha! You were wrong to hope for this human!"James himself was not in a good place. He was extremely frustrated that he had failed to help his friend again. He was so stressed out, he was beating his own forehead with his hand and yelling. "Stupid! Stupid! Damn it!" he swore repeatedly."Even humans are crazy, Sasha. Your hopes are dashed!" Mother chuckled.As James could no longer bear the weight on his shoulders, he ran towards Mother Grizzly and unleashed a punch. Mother Grizzly blocked it with her hand, but it
James didn't hesitate to lunge at him. But after just a few steps, his body suddenly became immobilized. Then his body was thrown to the side until it hit the wall. The supernatural impulse was so strong that the wall broke."When I wear this form, my telekinesis ability increases dramatically. Humans like you are just like insects before my power," Mother Grizzly said, belittling James.While they fought, Lisa quietly led the badly injured Anne back outside the room. Feeling far enough away, Lisa took out the only remaining regenerator serum liquid. "Relax, Anne. You'll survive," she said as she fished the serum out of her shirt pocket.Anne's hands held Lisa back from injecting the liquid. "Don't... our fight isn't over yet," Anne gently refused.Lisa frowned instead. "Anne! You're hurt badly!"Instead of ignoring Lisa, Anne forced herself to stand up. "James is a terrible person. He'll be overwhelmed if he's alone!" said Anne as she walked back towards the battleground. "Besides, t
James couldn't help but think that the monster in front of him was out of his mind. He would do anything to fulfill his ambition, even to involve a child like this. James hates them because they kill. James hated Mother Grizzly for using a child, even James hated himself for having the heart of an Unchegila.As Mother laughed in satisfaction, suddenly a sword slid out and stabbed the child, sending him flying into the wall. With Mother Grizzly's eyes turned slowly and trembling, she saw the child hanging from the sword stuck in the wall. The child's heart was stabbed and he seemed to be convulsing in pain. In less than five seconds, the boy stopped moving.James, the only human still conscious felt a rush of emotions. His chest felt tight and his breath came in gasps at the heinous scene. He turned to the one who had thrown the sword. The only person who did not want Mother's ambition to be achieved even if she was a monster: Sasha."Asshole!" James immediately ran and unleashed a str
"Jack, beat them. If you do, then you'll get more power than me," Mother Grizzly said casually."What do you mean, Mother?" Jack began to worry about Mother Grizzly's wishes after she revealed her goal.Mother Grizzly glanced at him sarcastically. "You still don't understand? You have two choices. You will perish at my hands or help me create the perfect creature to replace humans. If you help me, then I will give you more abilities that can make you my right hand. However, if you turn against me, then I will give you a painful death," Mother explained.Jack stepped forward by forming four fireballs above his head. "Isn't the answer obvious, I will defend you. Even if you want to replace the current generation of Unchegila, but I still can't do anything in front of you."Sasha stood up and turned to James. "Ghost, no, James Winter. I know it's a little annoying, but we have to work together for a while. They intend to kill us and take our organs. Help me kill Mother!" she said coldly.
Lisa fell to her knees while covering her mouth. Her trembling eyes could not hold back the tears that spilled out. Anne couldn't believe what she was seeing either. She took two steps back. And the most surprised was James.James' heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. He couldn't bear to see so many corpses in that big room, and all of them were human. The bodies of their friends were no longer intact and were lying there. There were even a lot of pieces of human bodies from HORNET that were already very difficult to recognize.Unconsciously, James' laser eyes became active. His eyes glowed red and focused. He wanted to immediately finish off the mastermind who had killed his friends. "ARE YOU THE ONE KILLED THEM, HUH?!" said James angrily.All the Unchegila in the room were surprised by James' presence. Sasha, Jack, and even Mother were stunned to see the figure in black armor and flaming eyes."Apparently that's the reason why you're so strong..." Sas
"Sasha, you are an Unchegila with human logic. You are almost perfect. All your actions, the way you obtain information, the way you learn, all indicate that you are a person capable of replacing humans. Unfortunately, you cannot learn human emotions well. You cannot know many human emotions including happiness. Intelligent people who lack kindness will only create a generation that kills and destroys each other. Then, what's the point of that? But Martin, he has a lower learning ability than you. But he can feel various human emotions, so he can influence other people's feelings. Unchegila wants to make everyone around her happy," Mother Grizzly explained as she approached Sasha.When she was in front of Sasha, she brought her mouth to the beautiful red-haired woman's ear. "So, do you know what I need to do to create the perfect generation?"Sasha glanced sharply at the old woman. Mother Grizzly grimaced and chuckled as she returned to her seat. "Of course I have to do experiments, r
Sasha threw a smoke bomb into the center of the room, then quickly put on her goggles. The explosion of the smoke grenade spread throughout the room, even to the children and Unchegila."Everyone, close your eyes!" Lois exclaimed as she covered her eyes."Asshole! He's after us too!" cursed Jack as he closed his eyes tightly.Moloch wailed as he felt the pain in his eyes. He covered his eyes with the palms of his hands, but the smoke was already making his eyes hurt. The monster struggled to open his eyes again as water kept coming out of his eyes.Moloch slammed his fist on the floor to the point that the floor cracked. "You bitch! Use all your strength! Why are you using the techniques of the humans instead?!" he exclaimed in annoyance.From a distance, Sasha aimed a gun at Moloch's head. "Sorry Moloch, you're still too stupid to fight me," Sasha said with a smirk.Two shots were fired by Sasha. The bullets traveled at a very high speed, then hit the side of Moloch's head. The monst
"Hey! Stop you guys!" James exclaimed while carrying Michael Hubble's corpse. The red-scaled Unchegila all turned to him and were wide-eyed. They shook in disbelief at what they saw."Mr. Michael... how could...," whimpered a thin Unchegila. He fell to his knees in disbelief, even shedding tears.James lit up his eyes, he wanted to intimidate these monsters. "You will leave or I will annihilate you!" James shouted an order.The Unchegila simultaneously changed into their human form. They looked at each other. "Those eyes..."It's my laser eyes all over again. What exactly do they mean? James' mind was troubled."Alright, we'll leave and not bother you anymore. We have your smell in mind, Ghost," one of them said firmly.Without caring about Michael Hubble's corpse, they walked away from the place towards the city. They walked with their heads down as if they had lost hope. Resigned to the future. There was only one Unchegila still standing there. Wordlessly, he sprinted toward the Ti
"Kuh!" Anne fell to her knees in exhaustion. This sexy woman pulled out her sharp iron hand from the head of an Unchegila she had just killed. Out of the 10 Unchegila that attacked them, Anne and Lisa were able to keep up and kill three of them. Anne's martial arts skills gave her an edge over the Unchegila who had only learned martial arts in a short time. However, the power and physical strength of these two women were no match for the Unchegila. If any of these red-scaled Unchegila attacked them at close range again, they could be injured."Damn it! I'm exhausted just from facing three of them!" complained Anne while trying to stand up. "What about James?""I don't know, I'm busy here!" replied Lisa while busy throwing beads at the Unchegila. The explosions from the beads caused the surroundings of the monsters to be filled with smoke.James himself was still fighting with Michael and the two skinny Unchegila. James was overwhelmed by the two skinny Unchegila because of their fast
