Kill the Sun
chapter-486

BOOOM!

A halberd cut a bloated body into two pieces inside an open Containment Unit.

A tall man with black hair gritted his teeth as he held the halberd.

'What the fuck is going on?! Why are all the Specters breaking out?!' he thought as he looked at the two halves of the Bloated Corpse.

'What am I supposed to do?! Am I supposed to kill it? Suppress it?!' he thought in panic.

Creak!

The man turned around when he heard the subtle sound of a creaking hinge.

When the man saw what made the noise, his heart almost stopped.

In front of him stood a small puppet with three lines cut into its face.

These three lines were its eyes and mouth.

The next moment, the puppet started to dance.

The man's body shook.

All his muscles tensed, and he used a lot of his Zephyx to resist.

"Hihihi!"

Ghostly laughter echoed in the Containment Unit.

"RAAAH!"

The man screamed and slashed at the puppet.

Yet, the puppet only jumped to the side and continued dancing.

The man's muscles bloated more and more, his veins appearing all over his body.

'Fuck!' he thought.

He wanted to strike again, but his arm stopped before it could finish the strike.

The next moment, his shaky hands dropped his halberd.

Then, the man started to copy the puppet's dance.

"Hihihi!"

The puppet stopped dancing.

Then, it slowly moved its right hand and grabbed its left hand.

Plonk!

It easily pulled its left hand off its arm.

"AAAHHH!"

CRKSH!

The man's hand flew off his arm, a shower of blood coming out of the stump.

"Hihihi!"

The puppet put its hand back, but the man's hand wasn't put back.

Then, the puppet pulled out the same arm at the elbow.

CRKSH!

The man's elbow was torn off his body.

"P-please," the man whimpered in pain.

"Hihihi!"

The next moment, the puppet touched its crotch.

The man's terror intensified.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

…

BOOOOM!

Another sniper rifle was fired, but this time, it was Ariel who had fired hers.

BANG!

A white Barrier started to flicker inside the Sea King's Containment Unit.

A huge man with black hair shot out of the Containment Unit.

He was Jornis Zealow, one of Kugelblitz's Heroes, and he had just been hit by Ariel's sniper.

He had lost 80% of his Zephyx in that single attack.

Instead of following after Jornis, Ariel looked into the distance and readied her sniper again.

Kugelblitz's most powerful sniper, Vanessa Korint, was still out there, and she had to take her out!

"Protect me!" the coral person in the back of the Containment Unit shouted.

Ariel didn't answer.

Vanessa was currently hidden.

A sniper duel was decided in a single instant, and as soon as one party showed, the other one would fire.

Ariel was looking out, waiting for Vanessa to poke her head or gun out from wherever she was hiding.

At that moment, several people came down from the floor above Anatomy's.

Ariel saw them and gritted her teeth.

Kugelblitz's Specialists had arrived!

20 of them at once!

However, Ariel couldn't deal with them.

Her puppet still needed a bit to recover, and if she shot her sniper to kill one of them, Vanessa would kill her an instant later.

WHOOOM!

At that moment, a red streak of fire shot through the ground and stopped in the middle of the air.

It was the governor!

The Specialists stopped for a moment.

"Continue," the calm voice of a woman echoed throughout the surroundings.

The Specialists looked with apprehension at the governor.

But then, they followed Vanessa's order and continued descending.

The governor looked at the Specialists.

He had to decide now on which side he was!

He looked at Anatomy's crumbling building.

He looked at what was happening to Anatomy's last Specialist.

Then, the governor noticed that Kugelblitz's Specialists started to fight a white snake.

When he saw the sickly appearance of the snake, he knew what this was.

But then, the governor noticed that there was a foreign Containment Unit that was still unopened.

What was in there?

At that moment, the governor remembered his talk with Simon Francium.

There had to be one of Envy's servants in the city.

When he saw the foreign Containment Unit, he made his decision.

"Kill the snake! It's too dangerous!" the governor shouted to the Specialists.

The attacks of the Specialists became more intense.

"You deal with things on this end. I will help Aria," the governor spoke before shooting out of the megastructure.

In her hiding place, Vanessa smirked victoriously.

Ariel's mind was going wild.

Things were going out of control!

Just mere moments ago, they had been superior to Kugelblitz in every way!

They had won!

But then, everything blew apart, and all the Fanatics broke out!

What the fuck had happened?!

BANG!

Ariel's Barrier activated as it blocked an attack.

"Hey, bitch! Miss me?!" a red-haired woman wearing Kugelblitz's uniform shouted in aggression as she pointed her guns at Ariel.

Ariel recognized her.

This was one of her people!

But now, she was wearing a uniform from Kugelblitz!

Ariel narrowed her eyes in hatred.

She hated traitors more than anything!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The woman fired several more shots, but Ariel's Barrier blocked them.

Ariel pointed her sniper at the woman.

"Go on. Waste your shot on me," the woman spoke with a vicious smile before she continued shooting.

Ariel's hatred reached new heights.

Suddenly, Ariel vanished.

BANG!

The back of the Containment Unit exploded, and Ariel shot out of it.

She was fleeing!

"No! Traitor!" the coral person shouted.

While flying towards the wall of the megastructure, Ariel turned around to look for Vanessa.

As long as she could stop Vanessa from shooting, she would be able to run away.

"That hurt."

Ariel's eyes widened as she looked up.

A huge man with black hair, carrying a gigantic club, was right above her.

Jornis!

Jornis had already lifted his club.

In an instant, the club enlarged even more.

In a mere moment, it was suddenly over 100 meters long and over 20 meters wide!

"RAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Jornis shouted with absolute rage and slammed his club down.

Ariel didn't have a chance to react.

BANG!

Ariel's Barrier shattered into pieces.

She had already shot once, which had used up 40% of her Zephyx.

The attack from the Specialist had also cost her 20%.

The brutal attack of Jornis emptied her Zephyx reserves.

However, her Barrier managed to significantly slow down the attack.

Nevertheless, it still hit her, and she shot down.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

She broke through three floors before hitting the ground floor of the Inner City.

A gigantic crater appeared in the center of the Inner City.

Compared to the Outer City, the base of the Inner City was massive, and the Crimson Sea couldn't reach there.

Several of Ariel's bones broke.

However, she was still alive.

Yet, she had no more Zephyx, which meant her Zephosis was interrupted.

She was dying if she didn't get any help.

Ariel could no longer fight.

"I can help! I can produce a lot of Zephyx!" the coral person behind the Sea King shouted.

The next moment, a beautiful woman with silver hair appeared inside the Containment Unit and pointed her sniper rifle at it.

"Call your people back," she ordered.

Right now, all the coral people were in conflict with the Specialists, and they were being absolutely slaughtered.

50 Veterans and Experts couldn't fight 20 Specialists.

In an instant, all the coral people fell to their knees, their hands lifted in surrender.

The Specialists stopped attacking and released sighs of relief.

Vanessa just smirked.

They had won.

Kugelblitz had won!

…

Meanwhile, a floor below, a person was running out of Ghosty's Lab with impressive speed.

'I need to get to safety!' Vernon thought.

Vernon had no idea if Kugelblitz was winning or losing since he was a floor below the actual battle.

As far as he knew, Aria was fighting Mundus and Zarren on his own, and that was not a good sign.

Additionally, the governor had charged towards Anatomy.

If he decided to help Anatomy, Kugelblitz's Specialists would be killed!

With the governor, Aria, and the Sea King working together, Vanessa and Jornis wouldn't have any shot at victory!

Because of that, Vernon had to run to safety.

If it became clear that Anatomy won, he would run out of the city.

Vernon jumped down from Anatomy's floor and started to fall towards the lower layer.

'Can't gravity be stronger just this once?!' he thought in panic.

BANG!

Vernon's eyes widened in shock as his Barrier exploded.

He looked down and saw a blade coming out of his chest.

"Wha-"

Then, another blade cut his head off, revealing a black silhouette behind him.

'I can't allow anyone that knows about my ability to survive,' Nick thought before he turned into mist.

When Nick had finished his job, his part of the Death Pact had been dealt with, which meant that his life was no longer connected to Vernon's.

Vernon's life was connected to his, but his life wasn't connected to Vernon's.

Vernon's head and his body continued falling towards the lower layer of the Inner City.
