Chapter 572
The concrete building was quiet. Outside, the whiteout blizzard continued to scream against the thick, gray walls.The wind was a wild, angry beast. But inside the building, the air was heavy with a different kind of tension.Jonah walked down the dark hallway. His heavy, steel-toed boots hit the concrete floor. He stopped in front of the heavy wooden door of the ruined armory.Kevin stood next to him. The young giant held his custom-made iron mace in his good left hand. His right arm rested in a white sling. Kevin looked up at his father. His one good eye was full of deep worry."Dad," Kevin whispered. "What are you going to do in there?"Jonah looked down at his son. He saw the fear in Kevin’s face. He knew his son hated the magical System just as much as he did. But they both knew the terrible truth.The invisible assassins of the Vanguard Command were waiting outside on the high mountain ridges.

"If I absorb this," Jonah murmured, his deep voice filled with a mixture of hope and terror. "If I take their magic inside my own body...""You might get a ranged attack," Kevin finished the thought. The young Scout smiled a fierce, dangerous smile. "You might evolve from a shield into a cannon. You could shoot your own kinetic energy back at them."Jonah looked at his massive, dark iron-scarred hands.If he did this, he would be letting the corrupted magic of Silas’s army directly into his blood. It was incredibly dangerous.The magic might poison him. It might change his mind. It might turn him into one of the empty, unfeeling ghosts.But Jonah thought about Lisa lying in a coma in the next room. He thought about the red laser dots dancing on Kevin’s chest in the snow.He remembered the feeling of absolute helplessness as he stood in the crossfire, unable to fight back.He could

They looked through magical scopes. They shot glowing purple bullets that ignored the wind and tracked body heat. They were cowards. They were cold, calculating machines. Jonah slowly lowered his hands from his face. He looked at his massive, thick arms. He looked at the heavy, dark iron scars covering his skin. He was a Tank. The System had built him to be a shield. His Undying Will skill was a miracle of survival. It allowed him to absorb bullets. It allowed him to turn terrible pain into kinetic power. If a monster stood in front of him, Jonah could shatter it into dust. But what good was a shield if the enemy refused to get close? What good was a massive, forty-pound iron sledgehammer if the assassin was two miles away, hiding on a cliff? "I am just a target," Jonah whispered into the dark, empty room. His deep voice was full of bitter, painful realization. If he walked out the front door right now, the invisible snipers would shoot him again. They would shoot him ten times.

The silver light grew so bright it was hard to look at. The room vibrated. Small rocks danced on the concrete floor. "You will not take her!" Jonah roared. With one final, massive push, Jonah blasted a wave of pure silver energy deep into her chest. A thick cloud of black, foul-smelling smoke exploded out of Lisa’s wound. The dark purple light shattered into a million tiny sparks and completely vanished. The Anti-Regeneration magic was dead. Jonah had burned it away with his own soul. Jonah pulled his hand back. He stumbled backward, completely exhausted. The silver light in his eyes faded. The iron scars on his chest turned dark and cold again. He fell heavily against the concrete wall, panting for air. Martha did not wait. The doctor rushed forward to the metal table. She looked at the wound. The purple glow was completely gone. "Kevin, give me the other potion!" Martha yelled. "The small blue bottle in my bag!" Kevin grabbed the bag. He dug his good hand inside and pulled

Jonah stared at the black ash on Lisa’s chest. His heart dropped into a cold, bottomless pit. "The bullet," Jonah whispered. His deep voice sounded like a dying engine. "The bullet is cursed." "It has an Anti-Regeneration property," Martha explained. The doctor’s hands were shaking now. "The purple Mana inside the wound is eating the healing magic. The enemy designed this bullet to stop the System from fixing the damage. It destroys medicine. Normal healing potions and skills will fail." Lisa let out a terrible, rattling sigh. Suddenly, her body went completely limp on the metal table. Her back arched slightly, and then she fell flat. Her dark eyes rolled back into her head. "She stopped breathing!" Elena screamed. Martha pressed two fingers hard against Lisa’s pale neck. She felt for the pulse. The room was totally, perfectly silent. Martha looked up at Jonah. Tears filled the doctor’s tired eyes. "She is flatlining, Jonah," Martha whispered. "Her heart has stopped. The purpl
Chapter 567
The heavy metal doors of the Sanctuary broke open with a loud, violent crash. Jonah ran into the concrete building. He did not care about the cold. He did not care about his own bleeding wounds. His massive chest was covered in dark red blood and freezing gray ash. In his giant, scarred arms, he carried Lisa. She was incredibly light, but the weight of her dying body felt like a falling mountain. Her green mechanic’s suit was completely soaked in black and red blood. Her head hung back loosely over Jonah’s thick arm. Her dark eyes were closed. "Medic!" Jonah roared. His deep voice shook the dust from the concrete ceiling. "I need a medic right now!" The escape from General Silas had been a desperate, bloody blur. Just as Jonah had put the dark handcuffs on his wrists, Elena had driven the massive, heavy logging truck directly off the cliff. The truck had crashed onto the ruined highway, crushing three invisible assassins under its massive rubber tires. The explosion of snow and
