Reincarnator

< 84. Refining (3) >

Kuaang!

An endless pillar of fire descends from the sky, striking Nelkifa across the land.

Kuaang!

Krrrrrrrrr!

Every time the pillar was plunged down, the remaining structures and debris turned into a handful of metal vapors to melt at once, like a molten sugar.

Not liquids, vapors.

"Oh, my..."

Jack watches the stiff structures vanish without a trace, and his tears of tears spill over the hot energy that he feels on the ground, far away.

I wasn't shot at yet.

Boom, boom!

Boom!

Thousands and tens of thousands of rounds of artillery were pouring down, but the cannon was being dropped onto the ground of a massive creature, Nelkifa.

But the problem is something else.

"If we do this, we'll all die!"

Guoooooooo!

Jack shouts as he hears Nelkifa's roar.

Even if they don't get beaten up by that crazy attack, what does that mean?

If this giant creature that they are stepping on melts, their lives are over.

I'll be Mia in space at once.

And the tens of thousands of rounds of artillery now appear to have the power to do so.

Such power that, even if it were almost a satellite, would disintegrate into the dust of the universe.

Hansoo shakes his head and points to the floor.

"Look down."

"...?"

As soon as Jack looked down at the words, he doubted his eyes.

"What the..."

Kuoooooo.

Beneath the melted and evaporated cities of artificial origin.

The lush earth is revealed.

No, the skin of a giant creature, Nelkifa, to be precise.

Kuku Kung!

Kuku Kung!

The fire that had been plunged down from the sky was stuck to Nelkifa's skin without a single scratch, but surprisingly.

Kuwoo!

Thick skin was not even thinking of melting into that fiery flame.

'That's absurd.'

Jack made a look that he couldn't understand.

Nelkifa's skin shouldn't be able to withstand that kind of shock.

because what the mining center used to do was to exhume the skin of the Nelkipedia.

I didn't know it was skin because it was made of metal and minerals, but it was clear that the strength could be melted to some degree by stairmen.

The stronger it gets, the deeper it gets, but even so, the layers corresponding to the skin should be completely melted away.

Jack's eyes were opened to the incomprehensible reality, and he was able to examine the blue skin in more detail, and he could only guess why for some reason.

'That...'

The layers that looked blue, which until now had only been thought to be minerals, were fiercely changing their shape.

like a crystal, or in a diamond-like shape.

Kuaaaaang!

The moment a cannon hits Nelkifa's bright surface.

Far, far!

Hundreds of meters of skin vibrated and turned into a jeweled glow in an instant.

At the same time, all the heat applied from the sky dissipated, absorbed, and sometimes bounced off, absorbing the damage almost perfectly.

Thanks to this, like a stream of water that bounces off an umbrella, a great pillar of flame scattered from the sky was scattered all over the place without invading Nelkifa's skin.

"Huh..."

"That's what Melchizedek's after."

Kugu!

Kung fu!

Hansoo looks at the shooting that falls from the sky and says gravely next to him.

Melkizedek wasn't stupid in the first place.

How can we start a fight that doesn't have a chance?

This bizarre mutant completely adapts to attacks that threaten him in an instant and eliminates all damage.

With the amount of artillery fired on Ankara, you can never stop the rush of this giant monster, Nelkifa.

Kyrial asked with a curious expression.

"Who made this?"

At first I wondered if it was a naturally occurring creature, but now I've changed my mind.

From giant turrets, like thorns, all the way up there, to a few traces that appear to be made by someone's intent, visible to the skin.

This must have been made by someone.

Artificially.

Hansoo shrugged.

"I don't know."

Cough!

Knng!

If it had been made in Ankara in the first place, we wouldn't have set up a mining center here.

You can't dig up the ground because you're curious about what they've created.

And it doesn't really matter right now.

Cough!

Hansoo opened his mouth, looking down at the shooting that was pouring from the sky.

"Let's move."

"... Where are we going?"

Jack asks in a heavy voice, as the earth trembles.

How simple it is in this situation.

Hansoo muttered briefly.

"Research center. Existing objectives."

Now this massive creature, Nelkifa, is headed for nature, Ankara.

In accordance with Melchizedek's intent to take control.

And at this rate, this giant will surely reach the planet Ankara and succeed in its resting place.

Then there's a real war going on.

With this satellite, Melchizedek was able to strengthen and gather troops.

A war against the Ankara tribes that was hardened and strengthened by the war.

'I can't do that.'

Hansoo mutters.

Literally.

I can't do that.

Then the five boroughs turn into a sea of fire.

It's nothing compared to now.

This is just the beginning.

This artillery is not the most powerful attack that Ankara can carry out right now.

It's the easiest and fastest way to do it, so it's just an attack that starts flying as soon as it starts.

Before the war intensifies and more powerful weapons clash, Nelkifa must turn the tide before it reaches Ankara.

By taking control of this giant monster.

And the simplest way to do that is to come up with one.

'Grab Melchizedek.'

The fight is not with Melchizedek, but with Melchizedek's men.

Therefore, the possibility that Melchizedek is at the bottom, rather than at the top, is sufficient.

'Hostages have always been a traditionally valid method.'

The best option you can make right now is if you don't have the strength to go to the Department of Control.

However, few seemed to agree with such a small number of ideas.

"What? Are you crazy? There can't be anything left."

"Damn it! Shouldn't we get to the elevator?"

Jack and a few others who followed Hansoo shouted harshly.

Literally.

In a situation like this, there is no way that a research center can remain.

Everything would have turned into steam.

Hansoo smiled.

"I didn't ask you to follow me. And the research center will be fine."

"What?"

Before it's over.

"I'll go first. Kiriel, let's go."

"Yes."

Hansoo let go of the hand he was holding and began to quickly fall down a few kilometers.

Paoaoaoaoang!

"Crazy..."

As Jack wept, watching Hansoo fall rapidly and Kiriel fall behind him.

A traveler who was standing behind him asked, looking at him.

"What do you want me to do?"

Jack nods as he gnashes his teeth.

"First things first."

We need to get to the elevator, follow them, and we need to get down there first.

There was, of course, a question.

'The lab should be fine... whatever.'

But as Jack clears his mind, he begins to focus on going down.

.....................................

Kuaaaaang!

Kuaang!

"Ugh... Everyone focus on your skills and your cooling skills!" "

Jack shouts out to the surroundings.

As I came down, another dimension of heat struck me from all over.

The steam from the molten metal threatens to boil your lungs quickly, and the heat reflected off the skin of the Nelquipa glowing like a blue crystal is hot as if it were about to roast the soles of your feet.

They didn't even stop firing.

Cough!

At a distance, Jack calculates the position of the cannon as he looks at the bright beam of light, shouting loudly towards the surroundings.

"Evade!"

As soon as the words dropped, the stairmen who were focusing on their mobility skills started to leave with all their might.

As soon as they get out of here at an incredible rate,

Kuaaaaang!

At the center of where they stood, a radius of hundreds of meters turned into a sea of fire at once.

By a giant flaming pillar plunged from the sky.

Chi Chi Yin.

Despite his evasion, Jack narrows his eyes to the heat that seems to melt down his shielding skills.

'Damn. Good thing it's a straight shot.'

It's a massively fast attack, but since it can be seen from a distance, it's possible to predict where it will fall.

Otherwise, the attack on your head would have literally become a firecracker all at once.

'At this rate... the robots will be ruined too. Should we run for the elevator like this?'

Jack, who was measuring the heat on the floor, mutters.

It won't melt to this level of heat, but the previous artillery cannons aren't enough to withstand a robotic weapon.

At this rate, it is possible to penetrate their siege and reach the elevator with their own strength.

But... what are you doing up there? '

Jack looks devastated.

This whole gigantic Nelkifa is District 5.

And if you go up to the top floor, it's also up in District 5, Nelkifa.

Can't get out of range of fire.

And most of all,

Kiriel was too sad to give up here.

By the way... where did he go? '

When Kiriel has a crazy idea about Jack looking around.

Kuaang!

Kuang!

In the distance, there is a noise between the metallic vapors.

Clearly the noise of battle.

'There.'

When Jack is unconsciously going through the metal vapor.

"Huh? You followed me?"

You hear a gentle voice from the metal vapor.

'Ugh.'

Jack looks a little surprised to see Cyril, who had not anticipated that Cyril would be here because there was still some distance to the source of the storm.

I thought we were fighting together.

Whether or not, Kiriel looks at something far, far away.

'What are you looking at?'

Jack's gaze naturally flowed along Kiriel as well.

Kuaang!

Kuang!

Something was going on, fighting and spreading the rumble everywhere.

Who the hell are you fighting? '

Blurring in all directions due to metal vapors and the aftermath of intense energy.

Something hitting something with a giant hammer seemed obvious, but I couldn't easily identify what it was attacking around it.

Then.

Kuaaaaang!

'This madness...!'

Jack panics as he looks at the cannon that has begun to fall from the distant sky, as if he were aiming for it.

Like a coincidence, three barrels of artillery are mixed up and stacked up, putting the whole area within range.

At this rate, Kiriel and himself are swept away, as well as a long way away.

'Dammit, we have to evade.'

"Hey! There! Han Soo Kang! Move!"

Kuaang!

Kuang!

Far away, he shouted aloud at Hansoo, who was fighting indefinitely between the metal vapors.

Hansoo was focused on either not hearing Jack's voice or not being able to avoid fighting and hitting something that was running relentlessly.

"Oh, my..."

I had to shout it morally, but there's no way I can bring someone who ignores me.

I don't intend to.

As soon as I got there, Jack grabs Cyril by the wrist and pulls her back, shouting loudly.

"Damn it! We have to get out of here! Follow me!"

He seemed to understand Jack's heart.

Kiriel leans back as Jack leads him.

To get out of range.

His expression lit up in Kiriel's reaction.

It looked like he was giving up.

'Good.'

At the same time, Jack followed Cyril out of the line of fire.

Kuaaaaaaang!

A huge cannonball descends from the sky and all of Nelkifa's surface begins to burn.

Cough!

Heat surges in from all sides.

Clearly Hansoo was swept away, looking at the scene, Jack breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

'Good. If this happens... It was better.'

I'm sorry that I got caught in the crossfire like that, but somehow it worked.

Following an ignorant man who insists on going to a research center in this mess is risky at least ten lives.

If he freezes over there, there will be no place for her to look, and if you take her up there, that's it.

Tadadadak.

At that moment, he muttered to himself, looking at the burning pillar.

"Oh really..."

"...?"

With a small murmur of Kiriel staring inside the flaming pillar as if bewitched, Jack's gaze returned to him naturally.

Soon.

Jack's face looks unbelievable from looking inside.

"Crazy..."

In a great fire struck by the catastrophe of fire.

Something is constantly burning and regenerating.

It was happening.

Stronger and more dense than ever before.

Like a beaten, refined, more powerful blade.

The moment I saw the slight but obvious change.

Jack's whole body gives me goosebumps.

'On purpose... You're not avoiding me, are you?

Is that what a sane human would do?

Jack mutters in boredom.
