Ch 436: True Danger Lies Not Without, But Within

Mr. Nirvana heard the sound and turned around. Behind him stood a man in a lab coat who looked like a researcher. Beside the man stood a strong man about as strong as Wu Xian. The only difference between the strong man and Wu Xian was that the strong man had a restrainer on his face, while Wu Xian did not.

Mr. Nirvana forcefully gripped his cane. If it were him in his prime, even if he couldn’t gain the upper hand, he could quickly escape. But now, although his skills were still skillful, his strength and agility were far inferior.

“Who are you?”

Mr. Nirvana stared at the other party with his one eye, only to see the other party perform a noble’s etiquette.

“Almost forgot, Mr. Nirvana hasn’t met me yet. Let me introduce myself formally. I am Anyamams, a Baron. The subject behind me is my masterpiece.”

“So, what does Baron Anyamams want from me?”

“Nothing major, just wanted to ask what Mr. Nirvana is doing here, especially standing in front of my experimental records.”

Anyamams’ face did not show reverence; he was more showcasing disdain and taunting.

“You mean you’re the person in charge of this experiment?”

Mr. Nirvana picked up a file. The subject on it was his current subordinate, Wu Xian.

“Exactly. I’m not only the person in charge of this experiment, but I’m also the initiator. It’s a pity that the Old Emperor died early; otherwise, those rebels wouldn’t be so arrogant.”

“Don’t you already have a successful subject?”

“You mean this?”

Anyamams patted the strong man beside him. The strong man remained motionless, but the crimson in his eyes emanated a terrifying fear.

“He’s indeed good, but the Rage Factor I injected into him still needs further suppression, so I put a restrainer on him. I have a question, Mr. Nirvana, why are you so concerned about this subject and this experiment?”

“Nothing, just saw it, a little interested.”

“Oh? So Mr. Nirvana is also interested in my experiment? What excellent eyesight.”

“Yeah, I’m wondering if this experiment is successful, if this kind of warrior can be mass-produced, the Empire might not be in this predicament.”

“Then I’ll give you some good news. The experiment has been successful. I’ve already created fifty such warriors. Although the combat power of those mass-produced warriors is not as good as this prototype warrior, it’s more than enough to repel those rebels.”

“Then why are you still chatting with me leisurely? The rebels should have started attacking the city by now.”

“Humph, that’s because…”

Anyamams turned around with his back to Mr. Nirvana. The evil smile on his face before he turned made Mr. Nirvana feel uneasy.

“I will replace Kosidomus and become the new Emperor of this country. When the rebels attack the Imperial Capital, Kosidomus will attract all the rebels’ attention. At that time, I will lead these excellent subjects to counterattack and sweep away the rebels. I will rebuild the Empire.”

“I hope you succeed. I’ll leave now.”

Mr. Nirvana turned to leave, but the strong man beside Anyamams had already appeared at the Main Gate without knowing when.

“Mr. Nirvana, you can’t leave yet. I can’t be sure you can keep this secret, so before I successfully acquire this country, please wait here for a while.”

Mr. Nirvana tightened his grip on his cane. His other hand, which had been in his pocket, was holding some object.

“I promise I won’t leak it.”

“No, Mr. Nirvana, this is my principle.”

Anyamams and Mr. Nirvana stood back-to-back. Both of them had already decided on one thing: absolutely not letting the other survive.

“A secret is a secret because the fewer people who know it, the better. So, Mr. Nirvana, for my ideal, please die.”

Anyamams waved his hand. He was giving an order.

“E-01, do it.”

A few minutes later, Mr. Nirvana fell from the sky like a kite that had lost its lift. The blood seeping from the corner of his mouth indicated that his condition was already very dangerous. The strong man known as E-01 leaped into the air, clenching his fist ready to strike Mr. Nirvana.

————

“Report! Several incredibly large and strong men have appeared in the city, and they are destroying buildings everywhere!”

A guard rushed into Kosidomus’ room, his body covered in bloodstains. Upon hearing the chaos in the city, Kosidomus’ already sparse hair stood on end.

“Send the Royal Palace Guards to suppress those men!”

“Yes!”

The second the guard went out, he crashed back into Kosidomus’ room in a way that was impossible for a human. Anyamams and a strong man entered with him.

“Regent Kosidomus, good evening.”

“Anyamams!”

At nightfall, the siege battle continued. Phia used magic to create a super-large light source hanging in the air, allowing the rebel army to have sufficient vision to distinguish between friend and foe.

“Report! A group of strong men have appeared on the city wall, killing our soldiers and the Empire’s city guards indiscriminately!”

A messenger rushed into Ems’ tent. This news was unexpected by everyone.

“What are the characteristics of those strong men?”

Bal approached the messenger and asked anxiously.

“Tall, muscular, taller than normal people, surprisingly strong, and neither magic nor physical attacks can harm them in the slightest.”

Hearing this description, Bal knew they were of the same origin as Wu Xian. He drew his long sword and turned to Ems.

“Nia and Yselle, unable to use their full strength, can’t kill those people. I’ll go help.”

“That’s the only way. Please be careful, Mr. Bal.”

Ems gave Bal a military salute. Bal, holding his long sword, left the tent, along with Phia. Grey looked at the sand table in front of him, his heart filled with tension.

“Aren’t you going? Grey.”

Ems asked Grey beside him. Grey’s wife, Nia, was fighting on the city wall.

“Nia will have her own way. If she really can’t win, she will use her full strength. It’s better for me to stay here than to be a hindrance, so I’d rather stay here.”

“I’ll stay with you.”

“Thank you.”

————

Phia teleported Bal to the city wall. At this time, those muscular monsters were indiscriminately slaughtering every soldier they saw. Bal tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword; his anger had already surpassed the heavens. He leaped high, raised his long sword, and shouted.

“Ultimate Technique・Weapon River Galaxy!”

Countless projection armaments appeared beside Bal. At this moment, Bal was like a god of war with wings made of armaments. He swooped down from the sky, and the armaments around him had already flown towards those muscular monsters.

“They’re almost there, they’re almost there, you monsters can’t just crush them like this. If this is the result of people’s years of effort and expectation, it’s too miserable, so I won’t let you run rampant, monsters!”

The falling projection armaments slammed into the muscular monsters’ bodies like siege weapons. Some armaments even pierced the muscular monsters’ limbs, but the muscular monsters seemed to have no pain. They ignored Bal’s armaments and continued to sweep away everything alive in front of them.

“Swift Lightning・Scatter!”

Phia, holding a spear, floated in the air. Above her head was a magic formation that could cover the entire Imperial Capital. The magic formation continuously shot out lightning, precisely striking those muscular monsters. Phia knew that lightning alone could not kill those muscular monsters, so she built several more magic formations with different effects on the original magic formation. Several magics working together finally killed the muscular monsters on the city wall.

At that moment, Phia saw Mr. Nirvana, who had been knocked into the sky by E-01. She saw E-01 preparing to pursue, but she couldn’t make it in time.

“I won’t let you succeed!”

Yselle spread her wings and flew to Mr. Nirvana’s side. She repelled the pursuing E-01 with the sword in her hand, then turned to Phia and shouted.

“Quickly save Mr. Nirvana!”

“Understood!”

Phia quickly flew towards Mr. Nirvana and used magic to float him in the air. Then she teleported Mr. Nirvana back to Ems’ tent to heal him.
