Seeing that only one opponent remained, the cyborg leader, Nouel immediately glared at the man.“Come on, I’m tired of small talk with you,” Nouel challenged the top leader.“Don’t be arrogant just because you’ve managed to bring down my people,” said the man, still confident in his ability to win despite witnessing his opponent’s skills. He pulled out a machine gun capable of firing many bullets at once. Nouel smirked mockingly.“Feel free to smile, this is your last day in this world.” Proudly, the man activated the machine gun, firing large bullets rapidly. Nouel, activating his shield, walked calmly despite many bullets hitting the shield.The machine gun could shoot fast and powerful bullets, capable of penetrating concrete or metal walls with a certain thickness. However, it turned out the weapon wasn’t strong enough to penetrate Nouel’s created shield.“Damn, how does he have such a strong shield?”Simultaneously, the cyborgs Nouel had previously knocked down began to rise one
Nouel swiftly navigated through the slum area, intrigued by the sudden information. He ran, avoiding every human and robot that was active at that moment.Nouel came to a halt and stared at the holographic screen that appeared before him. “Can you explain more about what you’ve found?”“This is a power surge from the main energy source that was once used by humans as the primary reactor to activate war robots,” the AI assistant continued to provide information about the detected anomaly.“War robots, in other words, this involves radiation and significant explosive power?” Nouel asked, expressing concern.“Exactly.”“What happened?” Nouel inquired again.The AI Assistant then reported, “Something accidentally triggered this energy source. Possibly a slight vibration, air temperature, or a mouse passing by unintentionally. In essence, there’s a high probability that this energy source will explode.”“So, this energy source needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. Whether I like i
Just emerging from the underground area where he exited the abandoned house, Nouel was greeted by several cyborg thugs he had defeated earlier. They were accompanied by two well-dressed men—obviously, these were city officials—and armed bodyguards, along with robots units.It was unclear how they managed to locate Nouel. Whether there were traces he left behind, information from the residents, CCTV monitoring, or some tracking method capable of finding Nouel.Nouel deactivated his helmet and the oxygen mask he wore. He whistled upon witnessing the arrival of these people, the number this time was not as large as before, but these individuals held positions of authority.“You came much faster than I expected, two minutes earlier to be precise,” Nouel murmured softly when he noticed the many people surrounding him, denying him access to escape.“Is he the one?” One of the men in formal attire, resembling a city official, pointed towards Nouel.“Yes, he’s the one, the troublemaker,” said
Nouel holstered his weapon in back, then lazily scratched his head. Nevertheless, he still introduced himself.“My name is Nouelvaegnr Brysthiersk, Captain of the Wolf team, a special anti-terrorist and national security force. Lycaelus City Division.” Nouel introduced himself while shouldering his large weapon. Hearing this, the two men suddenly became frightened, they had dealt with the wrong person.“What?” both men asked simultaneously.“Sir, we made a mistake, forgive me for not recognizing you.” Peter immediately crawled and prostrated himself in front of Nouel. Bernard did the same. The cyborg thugs who were still conscious after the previous attack looked shocked to see their revered leaders behaving like this.“Sir, this is just a small misunderstanding, please don’t be offended,” Bernard muttered softly, immediately adopting a sycophantic attitude.“Indeed, it was just a misunderstanding, we didn’t know whom we were dealing with. Please forgive our ignorance.”Hearing those
Since there were no emerging threats in the city, Nouel allowed the Lycaelus city ambassadors to be guarded and protected by the prepared security and their personal security details. At that moment, Nouel was inside his apartment, taking a rest after all the incidents. Nouel had also removed all his armor. Actually, the armor he wore couldn’t be taken off easily, it had specific mechanisms and special tools that needed to be used.Nouel, while observing the buildings outside the window, found the lights in the city beautiful, casting a captivating glow. He contacted Vera and Drax.“Captain,” Drax greeted first.“How’s your day? Are you enjoying the tour in Deliphora City?” Vera inquired.“Not entirely disappointing, I’ve had some fun.” Nouel answered the question. Then, before anyone else could speak, Nouel continued, “It seems everything is going well. I haven’t received any calls.”Earlier, Nouel had instructed Vera that if anything happened, he should be contacted. It turned out t
Unbeknownst to them, a few days passed by smoothly during the mission, with no obstacles encountered. However, Nouel couldn’t identify the drone attackers, and there were no updates on the rebel activities since the last battle.Nouel even received information that there had been no related rebel activities for the past few days.Their activities in Deliphora City had concluded, and now Nouel was preparing for departure, getting ready to return to Lycaelus City. At that moment, they were on their way to the airport. Nouel, along with other team members, was on a vehicle with an open cargo bed—a four-wheeled vehicle with large-sized wheels, slightly resembling a bullet.“Huh, finally, this mission will be over soon!” Nouel exclaimed loudly, sitting on the front roof of the vehicle with his legs intentionally hanging over the front windshield. Behind him, Vera stood, monitoring the surroundings, then crossed her arms over the open cargo bed’s boundary and the vehicle’s roof.Nouel then
Lucrezia shook her head very slowly upon hearing that information. She wouldn’t just accept this information. More precisely, she outright denied the information that Nouel and his team were already dead. As far as she knew, Nouel was a great man and always managed to survive in any situation. He was a responsive thinker, capable of anticipating many things. Nouel was someone who could read others’ minds and always considered various possibilities. Dying in a plane explosion seemed impossible for someone like him. At least, that’s what Lucrezia believed.“No way, this can’t happen. You must be wrong, tell me you misidentified it.” Lucrezia murmured softly.“Captain, this is the only plane en route to Lycaelus, calculated from the call duration and departure time. The plane exploded from within after two minutes in the air. My conclusion is that there was a bomb inside the plane, automatically triggered when the plane reached a certain altitude.” The young man reported again, trying to
A few hours earlier.When all Wolf team members were at the airport, Nouel ordered energy shields to envelop the plane. Being cyborgs, they worked so swiftly that it took no more than five minutes, all devices were perfectly installed and ready for activation.As the ambassadors had not arrived yet, Nouel and his team, who had arrived earlier, inspected the plane to ensure everything was secure.“Captain, we’ve installed all the shields.” Vera reported, saluting with a smile.“Alright, everyone. A2, A3, I want you to install these inside the plane, adjusting to the seats and our locations.” Nouel pulled out flat discs, quite small in size, more than twenty of them all fitting in the palm of Nouel’s right hand.“What’s this?” Blaicer asked, curious, grabbing a few.Drax took one of the items Nouel showed. After observing for a few seconds, he immediately recognized what Nouel was showing them and murmured softly. “Um, from its shape, this looks like a hologram transmitter.”“Hologram t
