Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 198 Odin

Chapter 198 Odin
That must require a huge amount of wealth.
As mentioned before, he and Adam had once struck the ground with the hammer, but that time it was outside the Arasaka Tower. They smashed through the ground and arrived at the underground plantation.

The plantation was probably completely separated from the shrine's room, which was certainly protected by alchemical tools everywhere.

Bang! Clang!
The soldiers on the upper level of Arasaka began to move down, and Lu Mingfei's enhanced hearing allowed him to clearly hear their footsteps.

This was a battle that was already at a disadvantage for Lu Mingfei.

Arakasa only needs to consider how to protect the sacred vehicle, while Lu Ming has to consider many more things.

(Alchemical weapons aren't entirely impossible to break, but it would require far too much effort, and if all the above were to come down, then—)
"Phase Two of the Plan".

Lu Mingfei sighed, rubbed his temples, and dialed the number.

“V”.

【.】

【receive】

Everyone knows that Arasaka has an overwhelming advantage in this battle.

On one side is a company fully prepared, and on the other side is a lone mercenary; it's a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei also thought a lot about it.

[The first step of the plan is for Lu Mingfei to break into the main gate of the Araban Tower alone.]

This may seem reckless, but Lu Mingfei will use his extraordinary weaponry skills to deplete the enemy's forces as much as possible, while conserving his own strength.

Finding the key directly would be ideal, but if that's not possible, then brute-force attacks should be considered.

Although it wasn't confirmed to be alchemical equipment, Lu Mingfei had considered that Arasaka might have other ways to defend against Lu Mingfei's magnetic field rotation. A violent breakthrough would inevitably consume a lot of Lu Mingfei's stamina and time.

At the same time, it should be noted that Arasaka's military strength is essentially limitless.

[The mass-produced security soldiers are inexhaustible. Lu Mingfei can only create an opening, not kill them all. At the very beginning of the assault, the Arasaka soldiers were unaware of Lu Mingfei's location, and some needed to stay behind to protect Arasaka Hanako and Arasaka Yoriyuki.]

However, once they confirmed that Lu Mingfei was about to break through to the Divine Carriage level, they could only move downwards to the main gate to ambush him.

【So--】

"So this is the key point to cut off the enemy's actions."

After analyzing all of this, the cool and aloof beauty said this.

During the strategic meeting, the woman named V tapped her head.

"Leave it to me, I'll buy you enough time."

"Also, leave the task of destroying any possible protective layers to me."

At this point, all they could see in the Arasaka operations command center was the sudden explosion of the first-floor lobby.

[How is that possible! The protective structure in the lobby is strong enough to withstand continuous point-to-point ballistic attacks!]

At this moment, the simulated holographic image of the Arasaka Tower's architectural structure showed a glaring blood-red color at the bottom, and then the entire hall collapsed into fragments.

It's been breached?

How can it be?

How did you do that?!

Even a direct nuclear explosion on Arasaka Tower back then could not affect the solid structure of the basement.

How could it possibly break!

The plan changed. The part of the troops that were supposed to protect Hanako Arasaka began to move, but just as they moved in large numbers, a huge explosion rang out in the middle of Arasaka Tower!

What is that?!

[Beta Squad! Reporting!]

The dense fog obscured visibility, and even when the heat source detector was activated, it was interfered with by the surrounding high temperature.

Heavy breathing, tense emotions, the gun in his hand creaking.
Even though their composure level was basically at the expert level, they couldn't help but frown at the sudden situation, and cold sweat trickled down their foreheads, briefly hanging down their chins.

Then, it drips.

The heat source recovery analysis revealed a massive black body.

That is
Buzz! !!! ————! ——————

hum! ! !
Like a storm rushing in, the swirling winds converged into a single point, like a spear thrusting forward. The Arasaka soldiers immediately formed ranks, raised their riot shields, and crouched down to absorb the force.

Then—death silently descended upon the Arakawa soldier's head.

pat.

The originally three-dimensional figure suddenly turned into a flat surface, stuck to the wall with a slap, and splashed out!
"!!?"

"That prosthetic body... is a dragoon?!"

"They still keep it?!"

As the smoke cleared, the Arasaka soldiers were able to see the true form of the black reaper.

【Dragon Rider】

That was the name of Adam's prosthetic body.

It is said that she used a fragment of the King of Earth and Mountains. Unlike the massive dragon riders she had previously imagined, the dragon riders used by V were just fragments she picked up during the chaos of the battle between Lu Mingfei and Heavy Hammer. Therefore, they appeared to be very finely crafted and close-fitting.

She never told anyone else because it was unnecessary. Not only was it impossible to restore, but almost no one dared to install such a thing.

Moreover, V is not entirely without the idea of 'being wary of others'.

V was born in Night City. Even though she is relatively loyal and compassionate, she will never lose her sense of self-preservation.

She believed Lu Mingfei would go to great lengths for his partners, but she wasn't sure if she met his definition of a "partner," or if she was worth his utmost effort. However, this doubt gradually diminished as they carried out missions together.

When Lu Mingfei returned to the Arasaka Building for her and Jack's sake, V decided to believe him.

So, for Jack's sake, and for the sake of their team, V went to Victor before the battle to have that part of the prosthetic body installed.

【King of the Earth and Mountains】

Shiva's Dance

Pure violence that destroys everything, if given time to build up, can cause absolute damage to any substance.

Adam's Hammer was initially suppressed by Lu Mingfei, and he could only use the [Dragon Rider] to initiate a self-destruction.

However, V possessed talents far surpassing Adam's.

Although it is impossible to reproduce the complete prosthetic body, and there is no activation procedure for Shiva's Dance of Karma, it is still possible to touch the residual power of the [World-Destroying Word] once by 'using that absolute destructive power' at the cost of 'overloading the prosthetic body and completely destroying it'.

She might truly be a genius; any prosthetic body, in V's hands, can unleash attributes far exceeding those of others.

And now.
The black scales clung to her flesh, highlighting her usually unassuming slender figure.

Her entire body was pitch black, and V's already tall figure appeared even more 'massive' at this moment, yet she still possessed a streamlined beauty.

She reached out, and a long, narrow, black, mantis-shaped knife popped out from the inside of her arm.

V let out a long breath.

【Buzz! ——————】

Vanished from the spot, a black line streaked across the sky, and wherever it passed, the heads of all enemies were sent flying into the air like rockets!
Not only the cybernetic dragoon, but also V was constantly on missions while Lu Mingfei was traveling in cyberspace and Jack was taking Johnny around to complete missions.

Accept the quest, earn money, and then find all the cyborg doctors in Night City, including Old V.

[So what? Every prosthetic doctor has one or two hidden gems. They're not just 'high-end,' some are even legendary. It's just that ordinary people can't install them, so they're simply kept in storage as protective charms.]

She remembered what Old Vi and V had said.

So she went for a walk around the entire Night City.

While Jack and Johnny were having a heart-to-heart talk, and while Lu Mingfei was venturing into the Black Wall, she frantically took on missions and then went to find the prosthetic doctor, pulling out all their most treasured secrets.

V knows she is special, so she dares to pretend to be anything.

The five-dimensional chart continues to rise, and now, in terms of the [data panel] alone, V is almost on par with Lu Mingfei.

Compared to someone like Lu Mingfei, perhaps V is the true, inexplicably born super hybrid on this earth, and her talent is simply beyond reason—

Suppress everyone!

boom! boom! boom!
[Arasaka Basement Level 3]

With V's help, Lu Mingfei and Jack landed and began searching for the path to the Divine Carriage.

"Why don't you just give me your body? Do you even know how to fight?"

Johnny complained to Jack that although Johnny himself was a nobody among legends, at least he was a legend.

Jack was adamant about this.

"That won't do, this is the pinnacle of my life."

Jack muttered to himself, following closely behind Lu Mingfei.

And Lu Mingfei also confirmed it.

Below this is the [Divine Carriage].

The divine palanquin is an incredibly sophisticated instrument; it cannot be breached by force.

Hacking skills are necessary.

Fortunately, with the simulation of those hacker prosthetics using [Magnetic Field Rotation], coupled with Lu Mingfei's experience outside the Black Wall, he was confident that he could penetrate this door.

It just takes time.

He affixed the prepared program decryption components to the gate leading to the shrine on the third basement level and waited for the process to load.

Then, he turned around.

pat.

【Someone】

Johnny gave a hoarse reminder, and Lu Mingfei also sighed, looking at the additional figure in front of him.

He was ready to fight again against the group of Relic-modified soldiers from the Azure Building.

But
The person who appeared surprised him for the first time.

".This is"

What appeared before Lu Mingfei was not the distinctive unloading faces of the Relic soldiers.

It's a mask, not a mask.

A silver, ancient
Lu Mingfei could easily see it now.

That is
Alchemy tools.

One-eyed, silver-white.
"What, cosplaying Odin?"
