Chapter 219 Plan (2/2), Rudra vs Lerke
Chapter 219 Plan (2/2), Rudra vs Lerke
Admiral Rudra, disguised as Almond, saw a rather familiar figure arrive at the city's entrance gate, and his eyes gleamed coldly deep within.
'Libero of Blood Claw...Alright, I'm taking you with me, alive or dead.'
The plan also included the capture of at least one rat so they could check their cloak and get into one's mind for more information about the so-called "Hollowstar", the new alien that invaded their planet and other things.
As a small gap opened in the barrier, Libero shouted, "Hey, bastard! Come inside, quick!"
The moment that gap opened, Admiral Rudra first used the second and third stages of his Focus Field as a straight line of invisible thread went inside, directly toward the plaza.
The second stage could let one sense everything in a narrower linear range—known as a Focus Line, with the advantage being that one could extend it far away instead of in the dome-like shape sensing range when using the Focus Field.
Adding the third stage's specialty in that the Focus Line could allow one to branch out, making the threads multiple and giving different vision sections, as well as camouflaging Focus Lines to prevent anyone from detecting it.
However, only Admiral Rudra could camouflage his Focus Lines. The others could branch out their Focus Lines but couldn't camouflage it, not even other old monsters.
Moreover, Lerke's Focus Field was closed as he was instead using a Focus Line to observe the city's gate since his Focus Field wasn't enough to cover the entire city.
As such, Admiral Rudra had already made his move, and the plan started.
'Setup done. Get in, Ken.'
Admiral Rudra walked through the barrier, and when he passed by Libero, he suddenly grabbed Libero's neck and clenched his fist as a blue aura burst out before yanking his hand up.
*Shratch!*
Libero's head separated from the shoulder, and both parts vanished as Admiral Rudra sent them inside his storage ring. He also threw the storage pouch hanging at his waist after doing something inside at the formation crystal near him.
At the same time as Admiral Rudra made his move, which obviously caused Lerke's pupils to shrink with surprise, another thing happened.
Executive Ken teleported inside with his skill right beside a Focus Line near the Hollowstar Bomb as set up by Admiral Rudra.
Teleporting inside while the barrier covered the city wasn't possible, but once Admiral Rudra entered inside and activated Executive Ken's Space Mark, he could teleport.
Lerke's reaction was fast as he saw Ken covered in silvery membrane energy touching the Bomb.
*Zaap!*
His curved horns moved as if alive, their points bending as they turned to face forward from downward.
"Let's have some fun."
His wide grin revealed bronze teeth as he removed his broken gold metallic armor and threw it to the side. At the same time, his two-meter alligator-like tail swayed menacingly in a fiery blur, shattering his armor with such impact and instantaneous heat burst that it melted entirely in a strike.
The hot liquid form of his shattered armor suddenly turned devastating bullets as they shot at Admiral Rudra.
He timely flashed his palms forward as they formed a circular barrier in front of him.
His feet dug into the ground at the impact of those ten bullets before they suddenly exploded, breaking the shield and blasting Admiral Rudra away.
"You can break down things pretty well, and that too with minimum energy. You have my praise," Lerke licked his lips as sparks flew again, and his tail slammed into the ground. "But I guess it doesn't work on instantaneous explosive bursts."
Admiral Rudra emerged from rubbles, and seeing him caused Lerke's eyes to flicker with surprise.
Admiral Rudra dusted off as the dust subsided with a slight movement from his hand.
"Yeah, it doesn't work on those," he said as his eyes bore onto Lerke's, "So what?"
In the next moment, Admiral Rudra vanished, and the entire city trembled as if a powerful wave shook everything just from the movement that affected the ground under his feet.
Lerke's pupils shrank to the size of a needle, and his muscles twitched.
*Chriiii...*
And his muscles stiffed. Looking below, he saw a fist that seemed to emerge at the center of his chest from his back, pulsing with crackling glassy blue energy that made it difficult to look past despite it looking translucent.
In that one moment that he looked at the fist that pierced him, Lerke knew he would be in trouble, so he made his move as his body glowed and cracks formed all over his body.
Admiral Rudra felt intense danger and didn't stop his next move, but at the same time, as his fist pulsed out his Molecule Breaker Pulse, Lerke's body exploded as violent air pressure formed within the barrier, destroying the surroundings into powder.
A powerful and intensely burning shockwave bore through Rudra's entire body, burning every part of his body as he crashed into the barrier that was damaged by the same shockwave, shattering it instantly as only the circular barrier remained.
Admiral Rudra sputtered blood from all pores of his body, but his Mana applications and passive skills set into motion as his injuries swiftly healed.
"This bastard..." Admiral Rudra's expression turned somber as he wiped the blood off his mouth because, looking at the phenomenon in front of him, the alien bastard definitely did not kill himself with that self-destructive move!
