Boom!! Despite the intimidating sight before them, the high-grade soldiers would not lose their fighting will so easily. Clark started the battle, as a high-caliber sniper bullet left his sniper rifle.
Clang!! The bullet lodged itself past 2 different mechanical soldiers, as their systems immediately shut down from the impact.
Unlike elite grade mechanical soldiers like the swordsman they faced, this was the conventional cannon fodder or army style method used by most countries. It can be practically interpreted, as staging a horde of mechanical soldiers against a single opponent.
It seemed like Clark’s gun shot acted as the cry to battle, as the ranged soldiers under his lead released their full firepower at their mechanical counterparts.
Captain Oxford was as calm as always. His rich battle experience was a very good boon to him, as it helped him to adapt to basically any situation in battle. He quickly adapted to the situation, as he starte
This terrifying explosion showed the resources and skill required to create a support-type mechanical soldier. The extremely volatile energy batteries in its bloated form did most of the work in spreading the reach of the explosion.When the deadly charged energy beam from Clark impacted its round form, it tried to withstand the impact like always. But this time, it was an energy-powered shot, and the force of impact behind it was too much. It overwhelmed its safety limit, and the rest was history.The impact, its volatile energy batteries, and the tricky angle at which it was shot made its systems react violently in both the chemical and mechanical fields.The result was, its location directly became a desolate ground. The metal floor in that location quickly melted from the extreme direct heat, while all the mechanical soldiers in the area either melted or turned to scrap metal.The peripheral heat wave from the point of the explosion was just like the
The huge square-shaped library covered a significant part of the room, enhancing the scholarly vibe it exuded. Its internals was divided into 2 rows and 4 columns, all filled with books of different sizes.Captain Oxford finally arrived at its front, as he extended his hand outward to caress its smooth surface. After admiring its smooth wooden curves for 2 seconds, his attention was finally drawn to the books stored inside.With one glance, he immediately knew that this library was for research purposes. All the books that his eyes scoured over, their titles were all related to biology and research.In this age of exotics and technology, physical libraries are a rare sight as practically everything can be done online through your implant. Despite this abnormal sight, he was not too surprised as he was able to guess the reasoning of the original owners of this military base.Though working online was more convenient, it was also far more vulnerable to hack
The extremely intimidating and suppressive pressure domain the bloodhound was emanating, indicated its identity as an exobeast dog with the strength of a 4th rank high-grade soldier.Despite already preparing a defensive formation to handle any unexpected situation, panic and fear was the only emotion now on the faces of the soldiers. Fighting a 4th rank exobeast; was something that they could never even dare think of in their dreams.With its long ears already standing like antennas at the sight of the humans, the low rumbling sounds of the bloodhound’s breath was the only thing reverberating around the room.It's now red eyes narrowed as it let out another deep predatory growl. Its fully packed leg muscles contracted like springs, as its enormous chest muscles followed by tightening up rapidly.The soldiers understood what was about to happen from seeing this, but fear did not allow them to react. The dreadful power of fear started rearing its hea
Shockwaves repeatedly blasted out like rolling thunder from the point of contact, as Clark was thrown away from the fierce wind wave’s impact. He was shocked and excited, as he felt the skyrocketing aura of his Captain.All the other soldiers were confused about what to do at the moment, they could only look on in awe at this legendary moment. A soldier breaking through in battle was definitely a legendary moment.WOOF!! The exobeast was startled by the current strength being displayed by the human, it was confused but still barked in rage as it felt that its dignity was being trampled upon.All the soldiers closed their ears, as the deep vocal cords of the bloodhound spread the sound outwards like a sonic disaster. Visible ripples appeared in the air, as the sound spread outwards like something under the influence of a spatial storm.The metal walls of the room made the sound reverberate and echo more loudly, as they creaked weirdly and loudly in p
After settling down, they decided to slow down and rest properly as Captain Oxford would not be available for a while due to him over-exerting himself.They also needed rest, as they were practically sapped of all strength from this battle. This battle was a nightmare to them while also being a wealth of valuable experience, as they definitely gained more battle knowledge from it.No pain, no gain. This quote was true, as without being soaked in battle it was very hard to improve.A perfect example just verified this claim in the person of their leader, Captain Oxford. Perhaps, he would have never advanced to become a 4th rank high-grade soldier in his life if he followed the normal training route.But just one traumatic but desperate battle was able to drain him and draw out his hidden strength. He was able to break and expand his limits when such a fierce battle stimulated his potential.Apart from him, though no other soldier broke th
A pair of eyes blinked open in a completely dark room, as it squinted to adapt to the low light intensity. The owner of this pair of eyes shakingly stood up, as he fumbled around with his hands to get hold of anything nearby to support himself.Everywhere around him was filled with absolute darkness, that he could not even see his palms. After getting more control of his senses, he finally started looking around but he could not see anything due to the extreme darkness.“Why is this room so dark? Where am I?” He soliloquized in a soft low tone, confused, as he tried to think of how he ended up here.As he thought, he suddenly squinted his eyes again as a bright source of light suddenly emerged at a place far from where he stood. He heaved a sigh of relief, as the sudden emergence of light in such darkness calmed his nerves.The light was not bright enough to illuminate where he stood, but at least it served as a beacon of direction to him.
Under the directions of Captain Oxford, the allied group of soldiers moved forward alertly in the corridor as they firmly kept the integrity of the turtle shell formation. Even if he was a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, he was not ready to take unnecessary risks.Being alert and maintaining their battle formation, was something that he was not ready to compromise on. Even if it drained their concentration, its benefits could negate its disadvantages.Just like the other 2 rooms they just passed; no alarm was triggered as they safely arrived at the door leading to the next room.After having so many experiences already, they were no longer novices as a soldier immediately came out to open the door. He worked fluently, as the door was swiftly unlocked in less than 10 seconds.Tightly holding his sword in a defensive pose, Captain Oxford moved in first to scout the environment. As soon as he moved in, the other soldiers neatly swarmed in after h
Due to them being prepared and alert, none of the stray beams and bullets were able to impact them. All the soldiers followed the leadership of their leader, as they all rolled away from the point where the stray fire was more focused.After rolling to a safer corner, under the leadership of Captain Oxford they all activated their remaining shields. Their movements were like that of a well-oiled machine, as their previous preparations started showing their importance.A blue energy glow quickly sprang up, covering their location, as it started flickering from the bullets impacting its surface.After getting a reliable defense, it was at this moment that they finally had time to look more clearly at the battlefield. A large hall appeared in their sight, enlarging on all sides in a roundabout manner.They heaved a sigh of relief as it seems that this was really the main hall of the research base. Though they could see its ends from a glance, it was still ou
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
