Chapter 364
The heavy steel gates of the arena were locked shut. The automated plasma-cannons had not yet risen from the floor. The moment was suspended in a heavy, terrified silence. Before the purge protocol truly began, the reality of the Vanguard's victory had to sink in. Down on the ruined concrete floor of the Sector-4 Arena, the air was thick with dust and the smell of burnt ozone. Four elite Enforcers lay unconscious. Xerxes was trapped in his frozen titanium tomb. But one Enforcer was still awake. Thad, the lead enforcer whose deadly vibro-sword Marcus had caught and snapped with his bare hands, was terrified. He stumbled blindly backward. His heavy magnetic boots dragged across the cracked floor. He hit the reinforced arena wall hard, sliding down until he was practically sitting in the dirt. His black combat armor sparked with failing blue electricity. Thad’s breathing was fast and panicked. He reached up with trembling hands and fumbled with the clasps of his damaged tactical hel
Chapter 363
The massive steel gates on all four sides of the arena slammed shut instantly, sealing the Vanguard inside with a loud, terrifying clang.But before the panic could truly set in, before the red lights of the purge could fully ignite, a profound, heavy realization washed over the stadium. The massive Sector-4 Arena was gripped by a profound, suffocating silence. The roaring cheers that had shaken the glass VIP boxes only minutes ago had entirely stopped. There were no insults being hurled at the "naked beggars." There were no chants for Xerxes. The noise was completely replaced by the heavy, collective breathing of tens of thousands of shell-shocked high-borns. They sat frozen in their expensive floating chairs. They clutched their glasses of pink synthetic wine, too terrified to take a sip. They stared down through the clear safety glass, their eyes wide with absolute disbelief. Below them, on the fractured concrete floor, lay the broken, sparking bodies of the Academy’s greatest
Chapter 362
The seven mutated Elite Enforcers roared like wild beasts. The forbidden green drug had transformed them into massive, bulging monsters. Their black armor was cracked and peeling, showing thick, sick purple muscles underneath. They gripped their heavy, sparking kinetic hammers, ready to smash the barefoot Vanguard into the dirt. But Marcus, Sera, Kael, and Lyra did not step back. Emboldened by Marcus snapping the vibro-sword and Sera ripping the leg off the robotic hound, Kael and Lyra stepped forward to join the fray. They did not look at the roaring monsters with fear. They looked at them with cold, calculating precision. They remembered Silas’s lessons in the dark Dead Zone. They treated the remaining Enforcers not as terrifying combatants, but simply as broken assembly-line machinery needing immediate disassembly. Kael, the massive former Dreg Hauler, cracked his thick, slate-grey knuckles. His amber eyes burned with raw power. "I will take the big ones," Kael grunted. Kael
Chapter 361
Sera’s bare, iron-grey fingers were locked deep inside the tiny mechanical tolerance gap of the Hydraulic Hound’s hip joint. The 400-pound mechanical beast hovered over her in mid-air, its red targeting lasers flashing wildly as it tried to compute the sudden intrusion into its armor. The machine’s heavy tungsten jaws snapped uselessly in the air, missing Sera’s neck by a fraction of an inch. Sera did not hesitate. The air around her smelled of hot oil and ozone. She grounded her bare feet harder into the ruined micro-glass tiling of the arena floor. She locked her right arm, bending her elbow to create a perfect, natural fulcrum. Her body was a living lever. She engaged the full, terrifying power of her newly awakened Kapito-Gene muscle density. The dark metal lattice beneath her slate-grey skin hummed with intense, focused kinetic energy. With a sudden, explosive rotation of her entire torso, Sera pulled. She did not just yank the metal; she applied a massive, twisting torque d
Chapter 360
The seven Elite Enforcers screamed as the forbidden green drug flooded their veins. Their black armor cracked and groaned. Their muscles swelled with sick, jagged purple energy. But before they could even take a step toward Marcus, a loud, grinding mechanical noise echoed from the heavy steel gates on the east side of the arena. The retreating, broken Enforcers had called for backup. They wanted to suppress the advancing Vanguard before the drugs fully took hold. Bounding into the ruined arena was a heavy, four-legged tactical combat drone. It was a "Hydraulic Hound." The machine was terrifying to look at. It had no face, only a smooth, sloping metal head equipped with bright red targeting lasers. It moved exactly like a wild, angry wolf, but it was an 400-pound beast made entirely of thick, reinforced steel and loud pneumatic pistons. The Hound was designed to hunt down escaped prisoners in the Sump and tear them to pieces. Now, it was hunting the Vanguard. The heavy metal paws
Chapter 359
The deadly vibro-sword hummed with a sick, high-pitched scream. It was moving at incredible speed, aiming right for Marcus’s neck. The blade vibrated at exactly 50,000 hertz. It was a terrifying weapon, designed to slice through thick titanium armor like it was wet paper. Up in the VIP boxes, the wealthy crowd gasped. They leaned forward in their floating chairs, waiting to see the poor boy’s head fall to the dirt. But the blood never came. Instead, a sharp, metallic ringing sound echoed across the massive Sector-4 Arena. Marcus did not dodge. He did not duck. He brought his bare, slate-grey hands up in a sudden blur of motion. He caught the razor-sharp vibro-sword directly between his calloused palms. The blade screamed as it tried to chew through his flesh. Bright orange sparks sprayed out wildly from his hands, lighting up his calm face. The heat was incredibly intense, but Marcus did not even blink. His newly formed, Tungsten-dense bones absorbed the terrible high-frequency
