There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Ifrit, listen to me later. If I say charge, you take Hemer with you. Got it?"

"I will protect you from behind. You are not allowed to stop until I tell you to..."

Feeling the protective wall about to break, Saria warned Ifrit.

It's true that enamel is very hard, but the people outside are not just there to do nothing. It's very good that they can hold on until now under the constant bombardment.

The tunnel provided by Yara was obviously a one-way street. If they went back now, they might run into another encirclement. Their only way out was to break out from here.

This important task always fell on her in the past, but now, it can only be entrusted to Ifrit.

Her body no longer supported her to stand up again, and just waking up was a burden for her.

"Okay! I promise not to stop!"

He nodded vigorously, and Ivan squatted on the ground, making movements to accumulate strength.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips to relieve her tension and excitement.

With Saria behind her, she didn't need to worry about anything else. She just needed to focus on making her own breakthrough.

Saria would protect her, always.

"Well, the job of finding the way is left to you."

Patting Hemer's head, Saria recalled, "Outside the door...it should be the factory's experimental area. You've been here before, so you should remember the way. The tunnel was dug from the bottom up. After we get out, we should be on the first floor."

"They definitely have more than one layer of defense. Take Ifrit upstairs. There's a huge room there with an exit on the top that leads to the top floor."

"Wherever I go, I'll find a way to get out."

"Don't... keep slapping your head, Ifrit is still here..."

Turning his head to open Saria's hand, Hemer said a little embarrassedly.

Saria touched her feathers several times, which gave her a strange feeling.

Just like before, but...it seems a little different?

She doesn't know either.

"Okay, I promise this is the last time."

After chuckling twice, Saria withdrew her hand.

She felt the attack from outside and waited patiently.

Soon, her wait paid off.

The sound of bullets became much quieter, and the soldiers' magazines were almost empty after completing a round of volleys. Although there were guns providing alternating cover, the firepower would definitely be much weaker.

This is the moment she has been waiting for!

"Go! Quick!"

Punching her own protective wall, Saria urged Ifrit and Hummer.

The broken enamel was manipulated by Saria to turn into powder, like a smoke bomb, temporarily concealing their figures.

But the well-trained soldiers still discovered their presence and turned their guns around.

They were locked up again.

But, it's too late.

Ifrit, who was well prepared, pulled the trigger of the flamethrower. The flamethrower, which was fueled by high-concentration Originium liquid, exerted unparalleled power at this moment.

Flames poured out from the sky, and the fire demon's shrill laughter echoed throughout the hall.

The scene was like hell!

Volume 9: Chapter 78: Learning

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Pull the wounded away!"

"They're heading for the second floor! Block all the stairs!"

"Fire! The fire is on my back!!!"

Screams, wails, and forced calmness echoed in the hall, interweaving to form a human tragedy.

Looking at the people around him wrapped in flames, Hemer frowned slightly.

The current scene is so similar to the time when Ifrit lost control of his life in Rhine. The only difference is that Ifrit can control himself now.

After just one glance, Hemer looked away.

She is not the kind of person who spreads kindness regardless of the occasion. These people now are their enemies.

She heard clearly the words "kill without mercy" just now!

"Ifrit! Left! Quick!"

The controller in her hand transmitted back the images captured by the drone sent by Hemer. At the corner in front of them, there was a combat team consisting of five soldiers hiding.

They were waiting fully armed.

Waiting for them to fall into the trap.

"Got it! Let me clear all obstacles!"

Laughing wildly, Ifrit aimed the flamethrower at the corner.

A raging flame erupted, and the soldiers hiding there immediately fell downstairs wailing.

Ifrit's flamethrower is extremely special. It was made by Rhine Life and modified by Rhodes Island. The infectiousness of the concentrated Originium fluid inside was removed and replaced with a substance with even less side effects.

By removing the infectivity and enhancing the adhesion, Ifrit is now a humanoid siege weapon. In this narrow terrain, she is invincible.

"Hey hey! Solved!"

Turning around and smiling at Saria and Hemer, Ifrit now had none of the madness he had just had, and looked rather silly.

"What are you laughing at... Be alert, they won't let us go easily."

The words of criticism came to her lips, but Saria suddenly swallowed them and replaced them with "praise".

Although it is subtle, it is indeed a compliment.

Ifrit, who was a bit thick-skinned, didn't hear it. She suppressed her smile and started running upstairs.

This experimental building was the one where they met Holhaiya when they first came to investigate the situation.

After the martial law in District 13, this place was taken away and temporarily put on hold.

Therefore, the police force deployed here is not large.

But...it's enough to surround and attack the three of them.

"Blocked...?"

Seeing the screen on her phone showing that the call could not be connected, Saria put the phone back in her pocket.

Now that they are surrounded, Talina will definitely not be having an easy time either. I just don't know what will happen...

There was a high possibility that something might happen to the Tin Man, which made Saria worried.

She...felt a little regretful for rashly dragging others into this matter.

Even if the other party has the amulets of two cities, but...what if?

What if someone blindly opens fire?

"what happened?"

Hemer, who was standing by, noticed that Saria was absent-minded, so he deliberately slowed down and came to her side.

They have now reached the third floor, which is temporarily safe and there is still time to talk.

"I'm worried...something might go wrong with them..."

Pursing her lips, Saria expressed her concerns.

She took out two round stones from her arms and looked at them carefully.

If I had known earlier, I would have prepared in advance...

She and Talina separated so quickly that neither of them could have imagined that the situation would deteriorate so quickly, so they did not make any preparations in advance.

But it's different now.

"Give me your hand..."

Reaching out to Hemer, Saria closed the door behind her, and pale enamel rose from the ground, covering the entire door.

"What...?"

He asked doubtfully, but Hemer still stretched out his hand.

Saria held Hummer's hand, and then...

"It hurts~ What are you doing?"

A sharp pain came from his fingertips, causing Hemer to pull his hand back involuntarily.

Looking at the bright red color on his fingertips, Hemer looked at Saria in confusion.

I saw the other person's fingers stained with his own blood, and then smeared it on a strange stone.

Just as Hemer was puzzled, the transparent stone suddenly changed color from colorless to brown.

"What's this?"

Looking at this strange scene, Hemer couldn't help but ask.

"A short-distance teleportation device. Talina gave it to me. Ifrit also has it. If you are in danger, I can come to you immediately."

Saria smiled and put the beads back into her pocket.

Originally, Talina had given her extra of this thing, but they were all taken out by Hemer during the operation, and now only one is left.

She kept this one close to her body.

"It's something...novel."

Resisting the urge to ask for something from Saria, Hummer began to observe the situation around him to divert his attention.

In her opinion, this kind of technology involving space must be precious. It is already good enough that someone can give her a few for emergency use. If she continues to ask for more, it would be a bit too much.

Same thing happened to Saria.

Of course, if they knew that this thing was made purely from a construction waste truck, they would probably be surprised...right?

"Sareya! The roof is blocked! We can't get up!"

On the other side, Ifrit, who had maximum mobility, had quickly explored the surrounding situation and naturally found the skylight that Saria mentioned.

But the place has been blocked, and getting out is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Ifrit, break the glass on your left!"

As she strengthened her Originium skills, beads of sweat flowed down Saria's forehead.

"it is good!"

Ifrit nodded vigorously, and then opened fire at full force.

"Wait...this place...has been transformed?"

Looking around carefully, Sariah realized that the situation here was completely different from when they left long ago.

The surrounding walls and windows have been blocked with a thick layer of glass, the same glass that Rhine Life used to isolate dangerous patients like Ifrit. It is difficult to open it by brute force.

Not to mention that she simply doesn't have enough strength now.

"Sareya, I...I can't open it!"

The flames burned on the glass, but the flames that were always going out were blocked at this moment.

Ifrit looked at Saria anxiously.

"The glass in the experimental area is reinforced. Ordinary external force cannot open it. Moreover, if the glass shatters on a large scale, it will definitely attract the attention of the people below, and we will not be able to escape..."

Coming to the window, Hemer reached out and touched it, then looked down.

All the main exits on the ground had been sealed. In other words, their plan to escape from the ground had failed.

"Don't worry..."
