Chapter 322
Max’s boots struck the ground as he caught Tianna and steadied her. His full black gear was still equipped, its surface already taking on a reddish hue from the crimson sky above. After making sure Tianna was unharmed, he did not charge into the battlefield without thinking. His eyes moved across the area, taking in the situation as quickly as possible.He counted the surviving defenders, checked their injuries, and assessed the damage to the shelter. Ammunition was running low. Several barricades had been destroyed, and the remaining artillery pieces were damaged badly enough that smoke poured from their broken frames. The casualties were even worse. Too many guards had fallen, their blood staining the dirt around the shattered defenses. Then Max assessed the enemy.Five B-Rank Reapers were still active.He frowned.They’re strong… but not invincible.Spirit Dominion surged through his body.The skill was a fusion of Spirit Pulse, Piercing Roar, and the final chains, combining their

Heavy blades tore through steel while mounted cannons blasted holes through nearby structures. The impacts, shook walls and sent pieces of scrap metal flying through the air.Then people began dying.Guards screamed as the Reapers cut through their positions, blood spreading across the ground as bodies fell.Tianna gritted her teeth.“Keep fighting! They’re slow! We can overwhelm them!”More grenades flew across the battlefield. Smoke covered the ground while fire and explosions erupted from every direction. The defenders fought desperately to prevent the machines from reaching the inner areas of the shelter.One Reaper reached the mess hall, only for its foot to become trapped in a weighted net.Zayne immediately took advantage of this. He fired a grenade launcher directly into its chest.Boom!The explosion tore through its armor and sent the Reaper crashing into the pit. Yet even after taking the blast, the machine remained active. Its optics still glowed while its arms clawed agai
Chapter 320
Crash!A massive explosion shook the ground as the serpent-like vessel slammed into the Advanced Barrier System. The protective dome flashed violently under the impact before cracking apart and collapsing into nothing.“No way…”“It’s destroyed!”“Careful! Look above!”The serpent itself could not survive the collision either. Its segmented body broke apart in the blast, sending pieces of metal across the battlefield. The damage, however, had already been done. New Ark-45 had lost its barrier, leaving the shelter exposed to anything that could reach it from the air.Tianna’s expression turned grim. Without the barrier, there was nothing stopping flying vessels from entering the shelter directly. Their available weapons were limited to rifles, pistols, grenade launchers, portable disruptor units, and the traps scattered around the perimeter. None of those were designed for proper anti-aircraft combat. Their only real advantage came from the plasma rifles carried by the modified Reapers
Chapter 319
As it drew closer, Tianna realized it was unlike anything they had encountered before.This was something entirely new.The vessel moved through the sky like a giant mechanical serpent. Its body was long and segmented, each section connected by flexible joints and covered in overlapping metal scales. Even more disturbing were the five humanoid figures clinging to its back.They looked like armored Reapers riding the enormous flying serpent.Tianna’s expression changed. “What in the world…”Zayne frowned as he studied the strange vessel. He could not tell whether it was simply a transportation device or another mechanical creature capable of attacking them.“Doesn’t matter what it’s called. It’s coming for us!”The serpent suddenly dipped lower and accelerated toward the shelter.As soon as it crossed into range, the Advanced Barrier System activated.Bam!A shimmering dome of energy erupted around New Ark-45. The serpent slammed into the barrier with tremendous force, its body bucklin
Chapter 318
Meanwhile, over the continent of Versailles, the crimson sky remained stretched across the heavens like an open wound that refused to heal. The people of New Ark-45 had spent an entire day beneath it, yet they still could not become accustomed to the sight. A day had passed since the colossal mechanical structures appeared in the distance, and although they had not moved, their presence kept the defenders on edge. Nobody knew what they were capable of. Would they release enormous humanoid machines from the sky? Could they deploy dozens of Dragoons at once? The defenders had no answers, and that uncertainty was almost as frightening as the machines themselves.Tianna stood atop one of the watchtowers, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. New Ark-45 had brought out every telescope and pair of binoculars available from Max’s Caches. Some of the telescopes were old relics recovered from abandoned observatories, while others had been salvaged during scavenger missions. Scouts took turns
Chapter 317
Max did not leave immediately after completing his final purchase. Instead, he turned his attention toward the four super soldiers and the child. He had bought them, but that did not mean he knew anything about the people who would now be living in his shelter.He introduced himself first.“I’m Max. You’re mine now, but not as slaves. You’ll fight with me, and I’ll make sure you live.”The four soldiers did not immediately trust him. Their expressions remained cautious, but after a moment, they began introducing themselves.The broadest of the four spoke first. “I am Draxen.”The man with long gray hair followed. “Call me Castor.”The third had a scar running across his jaw. “Korval.”The last man gave only his name. “Serric.”Max nodded as he memorized each one. They were no longer nameless soldiers he had purchased from an auction. They were Draxen, Castor, Korval, and Serric, four men who had survived long enough to become super soldiers and whom Max now intended to keep alive.He
