Ark Chess Player.

It's still really unpleasant to be looked down upon! What's worse, it's even more unpleasant when the one looking down on him is an artificially disabled person.

There was no other way but to kill monsters and prove his path, to demonstrate Lin's steadfastness.

Hesitantly.

The slime monster had no eyes, yet it seemed as if its entire body was covered in them. It turned to look in the direction Noah's heavy motorcycle had left, but Lin Lu still felt as if he were being targeted, as if an invisible eye was watching him. Was this retribution? Lin Lu had always been the one using his spiritual domain to lock onto enemies, but now it was his turn to be targeted.

This feeling was not pleasant; an invisible mental pressure was weighing on him, but this was also precisely the breakthrough point.

Without the aid of his spiritual domain, Lin Lu could only rely on his physical instincts and his combat experience. He tried to counteract his opponent's weaknesses, like dismantling a nested doll, peeling back the layers of fog to find the answer.

Ultimately, Lin Lu discovered a key point.

The pressure he felt mainly came from the ground.

While Lin Lu was deep in thought, the area around the food processing plant had turned into a muddy mess.

What makes this monster stand out from the others is that it also possesses field magic, making it practically the king of Terra card games.

However, just as magic must be used to defeat magic, Lin Lu can also use card games to defeat card games.

"If I'm going to deal with you, I'll use this card."

Lin Lu raised his hand, took out a card, and gently tapped the card surface twice with his fingers, producing an incredibly pleasant sound.

"Arknights!"

Lin Lu inserted the class card into the already open card slot, pushed it horizontally with one hand, and stopped his arm in mid-air, pointing to the sky as if asking for punishment.

The slime monster seemed to sense the danger, its arms, formed from countless clumps of mud, spewing out slime that splattered everywhere. The heavy slime clung to the factory walls, the street surface, and the curved, dim streetlights. In an instant, it turned from dark green to orange-red, constantly emitting large amounts of heat, seemingly undergoing a chemical reaction.

"Supporter"

The central core of the Ark Driver displays the runes of the Support class, and cobalt blue light patterns seep out of the driver, revealing the true form of the jet-black engraved runes.

A dazzling light shone, and countless streams of light, like dragons, swirled among the clouds, encircling Lin Lu's body like illusory ribbons.

A gentle and refined aura permeated the air as the Ark Driver virtualized the data information mirror and projected it into reality.

"Aurhorize (Authorization Successful)"

Within seconds, the orange-red slime mold turned deep red, and as if reaching a critical point, it erupted with a violent roar that shattered the clouds and split rocks! The factory walls covered with slime mold were blown to pieces, the road surface was filled with huge craters emitting thick smoke and a burnt smell, and even the streetlights were melted into pools of molten iron.

Amid the series of explosions, a pale red flame rose slowly from the black smoke, appearing out of place.

When the black smoke dissipated, Lin Lu's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The slime, unable to sense the tremors of the ground, turned its body somewhat helplessly, like a person who had suddenly lost their sight and was gripped by panic.

"...light and airy."

In mid-air directly opposite the slime monster, a graceful girl with brown twin ponytails floated, holding a two-meter-long staff, her body radiating a pale red glow. Her gentle red eyes gazed at the monster that had grown to six meters tall, yet she showed no fear whatsoever.

“Ark Ride Angelina”

Information about Anxinyuan Angelina instantly flooded Lin Lu's mind.

In Rhodes Island's office, when Amiya asked Lin Lu to memorize the operators' names and information, there were a few people Lin Lu paid special attention to. Angelina was one of them; Lin Lu always had an inexplicable feeling about her Originium Arts.

Real matter, antigravity, and the ability to manipulate space.

When Lin Lu saw the anti-gravity spell on the data, he was in a daze until Amiya reminded him.

Now that he possesses this power, this longing, buried deep in his memory, rises once more.

"Juco?"

Lin Lu muttered to himself.

Chapter 106 The One-Horned Sarkaz

"Juco?"

Lin Lu muttered to himself, but he couldn't recall whose name it was.

With his memory, he could recall the data and attributes of each operator even without the help of the Anemone.

It's obvious that this person isn't on Rhodes Island, or at least not on Rhodes Island's frontline operator roster, otherwise Lin Lu wouldn't be unaware of him.

With no other option, Lin Lu had to put this matter aside for the time being. His priority now was to defeat the two-story-tall monster and find out what had happened to the survivors. When he awoke, he hadn't realized that Chernobog had such a twisted monster; otherwise, given his condition at the time, leading the rescue team to a safe evacuation from the city would have been virtually impossible.

If the Reunion Movement was responsible for these monsters, then the danger level he perceived the Reunion Movement to be so high that it had to be destroyed.

They must not be allowed to stay.

But... we'll talk about those things later.

"He has little experience, but unlimited potential."

Lin Lu narrowed his eyes slightly; this was his most objective assessment of the operator Angelina.

Gentle, yet powerful.

"Angelina, lend me a hand."

Lin Lu held the secret staff, and light red flames, like fire spirits, swirled around his body, their radiance flickering.

To prevent the slime monster from giving up and scattering explosive slime everywhere when it can't find any enemies, he must take the initiative and nip the dangerous flame in the bud.

As the real matter rose steadily, Lin Lu raised his left arm, and his left hand, wrapped in a black glove, reflected a different kind of light, with the mark on the back of his hand heating up.

"Annihilate our enemy."

-

"Don't sleep, if you fall asleep here you won't wake up."

Sonia held Rada, who was covered in blood, and tried to imitate her by tearing her own clothes into strips to stop the girl's bleeding, but her clothes were stained with the monster's blood and were unusable. Even if her clothes were clean, Rada's body was covered in wounds, leaving Sonia helpless.

"It's alright... Sister Sonia."

The blonde girl wore a smile, even though her whole body ached and not a single part was intact; she still grinned foolishly.

"I'll just sleep for a bit... just for a bit... phew..."

"Don't sleep, don't sleep! Wake up! Anna, Anna, what should we do?"

Sonia turned to look at the other girl; it was the first time she had ever felt so helpless and powerless.

Even when trapped in an enemy ambush, Sonia could unleash a fearless roar, mercilessly cutting down those who sought her life. But now, even if her hands could slay more enemies, they couldn't save the life of the girl in her arms.

"Sonia."

Anna's gaze swept past Sonia and landed behind her, her right hand pressed tightly on the red cover of the book, her face full of vigilance.

Sonia then noticed the sound of an engine starting in the distance. Turning her head, she saw a uniquely designed heavy motorcycle slowly approaching.

What's frightening is that there was no one in the car; it was like a ghost car.

On this night filled with bloodshed and slaughter, in this city teeming with death, it was as if messengers from hell were extending an invitation to them.

The group of village girls hadn't yet grasped how times had changed, and they all stared warily at the black and gold heavy motorcycle.

Suddenly, the heavy motorcycle stopped halfway.

The two people and the car stared at each other, as if time had stood still.

"Ah la ah la..."

Anemone, sitting on Noah's motorcycle, fell into deep thought. She scratched her head, somewhat troubled, unsure of what to do.

After all, she's just an artificial intelligence; she has no physical body and it's impossible for her to throw the first aid spray over.

The reason I put my hand on the throttle earlier was purely for the feeling. It was for a sense of ritual, to give this spontaneous rescue operation a soul. In reality, she directly controls the Noah motorcycle through data; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control it so freely, achieving perfect harmony between rider and machine. The doctor's riding experience is essentially riding her level of mastery.

Noah's Heavy Machinery wasn't equipped with an intelligent voice system either, otherwise she could have used her silly antics to make these kids mentally challenged... no, she could have used the superb rhetoric she learned from the doctor to persuade them with reason, making these little brats submit to her maid's skirt.

After pondering for a full thirty seconds, Anemone suddenly realized that although she didn't have hands... oops, although she couldn't touch physical matter, she had the authority of Noah's Heavy Machinery!

Five sets of Originium incendiary bombs can slaughter a squad of monsters, four built-in core engines can climb to the top of the city wall, three acceleration chips can overcome spatial obstacles, two wheels can crush enemies into blood and gore, and one doctor can suppress a natural disaster. Noah Heavy Machinery is an extension of her hands!

You could tell he was Old Ursus the moment he opened his mouth.

Anemone lifted the Noah motorcycle and skillfully spun it on the spot, causing the emergency spray hanging on the front of the vehicle to loosen.

As soon as Sonia and Anna saw the drone vehicle start spinning, a warning signal like a VAC alert immediately sounded, and they both became alert. Sonia put her left arm around Rada's shoulder and gripped her short axe in her right hand. If the vehicle dared to charge straight at her, she would definitely charge straight at it and smash that eyesore to pieces.

But the motorcycle just kept spinning in place, without making any aggressive moves. The sound of its wheels rubbing against the ground was extremely grating, making it unclear what its intentions were.

Until an object was flung out by a heavy motorcycle, the only light source in the dimly lit factory was the burning flames from the hole in the side of the wall, making it impossible to tell what it was for a moment.

With nothing but recklessness on her mind, Sonia immediately stood up, twisted her wrist, and shattered whatever was coming at her!

She will never allow anyone to hurt her partner again!

Anna squinted, and upon seeing the markings on the projectile, she quickly shouted, "Sonia, stop! Those are medical supplies!"

Unfortunately, it was too late when Anna realized what was happening.

The straightforward Sonia had already raised her short axe, anticipating the trajectory of the thrown object as she attacked.

"Qiang——!!"

Sonia's short axe made an incredibly heavy, dull sound, as if it had struck a piece of iron.

"Tsk!"

The girl fell backward due to the reaction force, feeling a sharp pain in her hand and a tingling numbness in her arm, almost causing her to lose her grip on the weapon.

What the hell is this? !

Clearly, even the field first-aid spray produced by Rhine Labs couldn't possibly possess such robust defensive capabilities. Otherwise, Rhine Labs might as well transform its business; perhaps it could even compete with Raytheon Industries for market share and carve out a niche in the massive industrial manufacturing sector.

What strikes iron is naturally iron.

The black katana blocked Sonia's slash, and the wielder didn't even flinch. The first-aid spray, thrown by Anemone piloting Noah's motorcycle, survived, escaping being cut in half, and ended up in the hands of a man who was 1.9 meters tall.

"You are... an infected person!?"

Sonia looked up at the man who had appeared out of nowhere, and immediately revealed her hostility.

The Sarkaz man with the unicorn horn had quite obvious traces of Originium erosion on his arms, face, and neck.

Chapter 107 Yan Ke

Yan Ke curiously examined the three bear cubs in front of him, as well as the heavy motorcycle that looked extremely panicked and started spinning in place.

He slayed mutated monsters along the way, using them as whetstones to hone his swordsmanship. He also managed to evade pursuit from his former comrades... or rather, his fellow travelers.

After feeling a long-lost sense of oppression, Yan Ke decisively came to the vicinity to search for a higher-quality whetstone, as ordinary monsters could no longer satisfy him.

When Yan Ke heard the familiar sound of a grenade exploding, he quickened his pace and caught up quickly.

"I thought it was that woman... but it seems it wasn't."

Yan Ke tossed the first aid spray in his hand, not expecting that he was still a step too late and had missed the best opportunity.

"Little girl."

Yan Ke's gaze first fell on the battered blonde girl, then on the girl with frizzy brown highlighted hair, and he waved the first aid spray in his hand.

"Do you know you almost killed your friend just now?"

"……What did you say!?"

Sonia's temper flared up, but Anna held her arm, preventing her from rushing forward.

"Don't stop me!"

"Calm down, Sonia."

Anna shook her head. As the calmest person in the team, she knew the current situation.

Perhaps even if they were all combined, they couldn't defeat this battle-hardened Sarkaz before them.

The Sarkaz are so feared because of their innate physical strength and high adaptability to Originium, making almost every Sarkaz adept at Originium Arts. Furthermore, their physical strength far surpasses that of other races; even the valiant Ursus cannot match them.

In a head-on confrontation, one Sarkaz warrior could easily crush three Ursus soldiers.

Anna tried to negotiate, saying, "Sir, could you please give us the medical supplies?"

“Anna! There’s no need to be subservient to them! It’s because of them that we—”

“Sonia, don’t let anger cloud your vision. Look closely, not every Oripathy patient is part of Reunion,” Anna sighed.
