Chapter 651 The "Farm" Underground
Countless golems appeared in our view as we engage in battle. Compared to the angels present, there are not so many of them which allowed the angels present to easily escape from the chaos made by the golems.
"Gamma! Obliterate anyone that comes our way! We will push through!"
Gamma spins as it moves toward the direction of a straight line, destroying every single golem on the way. Still. The number of golems attacking easily replaced the destroyed golems.
Not surprising but the golems are protecting the little "farm" they made from us. It seems they are intent on keeping it intact and eliminating all of us.
"Bladeheart! We need to confront the one controlling this area. Since it was functioning despite the destruction above ground allowed me to presume that this underground "farm" is a different functioning area with a different person managing the place," Alain bashes one of the golems with his shield as he looked around to see where we will go.
"We will have to worry about that later. We have to destroy all of the golems here and the machines as well. If these bastards are mass-produced enemies, destroying the source of their birth is the best option we have to easily confront the one handling this place. For now, let\'s focus on reducing every single golem down."
We nodded in response and started to plow the enemies one by one or by the group. I only used my Versatile Weapon\'s normal attacks as I have to keep my mana resource pretty high so that Gamma can continue moving. Gamma will stop moving once I ran out of mana so instead of using skills, just using the normal attacks to kill the golems that are easy to kill is the only thing I can do at the moment. The effects of [Blood Weapon] already ended up since it only has a duration of 5 minutes while the [Devouring Hunger] already stopped after I finished the battle against the MK-CS19.
I have only 4 uses left this month to use [Devouring Hunger] and I want to save it up for future confrontation so I cannot abuse it to my liking. Thankfully, Harmless Sparrow and Sigma are doing the job of doing AOE attacks and destroying every single enemy that appears before us. However, the number of the golems started to increase with no signs of decreasing despite our efforts in thinning them down. We are already halfway to the the area where the men went into hiding and I am now getting impatient on how slow we are progressing so I decided that its time to unleash the second form of Gamma in which I added during my modifications of its body to specialize in cleaning up mess and monsters in quick succession.
"Gamma! Activate Annihilation Mode!"
Hearing my command, Gamma floats in the air, retracts all of its swords back to its body and changed it to a more destructive means. Multiple guns. These guns are not ordinary guns but mana guns. Guns that fires rays of mana that can burn and melt its target. I didn\'t want to use it due to how mana thirsty it was everytime the mana guns are fired and since Gamma has six guns on its body, everytime all 6 guns fires, half bar of my mana are gun and that is already considering the passives I have that lessens the mana consumption in attacks and skills. Without it, I immediately get drained.
But despite being such a mana sucker, its pretty much a destructive tool which I just wanted to hold off until it is necessary and I think now that we are getting overwhelmed by numbers of golems invading, it is the perfect time to unleash it.
"UNLEASH HELL, GAMMA!"
Without restraint, Gamma unleashed a full barrage of bullets to the golems in quick succession, melting all the golems in our way.
"Let\'s go!" As I immediately drank Mana Potions to restore my mana as fast as I can.
Everyone immediately took advantage of it and started to rush on to the big underground facility. With the help of myself, drinking nonstop of mana potions while Gamma continues to fire multiple mana bullets again and again, we soon managed to catch up to the angels who are escaping deeper into the facility. Not only that, we also arrived in a big machine that constantly creates new golems and pops them up, creating another instance of the golem we need to defeat.
"Bastards run as faster than scurrying rats," Alain is pissed as we continue the chase.
Soon enough, we reached the main machine that pops the golems without stopping. When Alain arrived with us, he was shocked. His eyes clearly indicates he didn\'t expect to see what he was seeing right now before us. As for us, I am already quite in awe seeing the big machine before us. It\'s big enough to say that it has the same size as the Tetrahedral Golem. To think something this big is creating those mass produced golems, I can easily see them flooding the whole continent with these golems.
I also presume that the fuel they use are the Life essences. Although Life essence takes a long time before it gets exhausted, if it was used like this, I can see them immediately running out of it.
Soon, there was nowhere for the remaining angels to run. Around us are multiple golems surrounding us while we have our weapons drawn and Gamma aiming the big guns to the machine.
"It\'s been a while Robert..." Alain move forward all of a sudden and the one who made a command earlier to stall us with mass produced golems had his face twitch and frown after hearing his name uttered by one of the pursuers.
"Bastards! You rebels will soon die off. Once the siblings arrive here, everyone of you will die soon enough..." the guy named Robert seems to not remember Alain as he didn\'t care about him at all and decided to threaten us with empty threats.
"That threat won\'t work for us, Robert. Those siblings are all just talk but they are fine turning into dust, so perhaps you all will be better not run so that we can send you all with them."
"Wait what?" Robert seems to not believe what Alain is talking about.
"We already met with them earlier before coming here. Although they made our work harder, they didn\'t last long enough anyways so even if you try to wait, there is no way they will come here to rescue your sorry *ss."
Robert is now angry. "Just who the f*ck are you to casually utter my name like nothing?! I don\'t think I even mentioned my name to anyone who is below me."
Alain started chuckling to the point he is almost ready to laugh in a manic manner but he held it in and removed the mask he wearing and the helmet covering his head, revealing his face.
"Surprise, Motherf*cker. I didn\'t expect you to forget about me so soon."
This time, Robert is no longer calm. Seeing Alain\'s face, he started shaking and he fell to the ground.
"YOU! Alain... I thought you committed suicide a few years ago!"
Alain grinned and pulls out his sword.
"That was part of my tricks so that I can successfully avoid the eyes of my enemies. Never expected your former best friend and colleague would be the same f*cker who would change and f*ck up my whole life. I even thought you were a true friend and a great man but I can tell you are no longer the kind person I knew in the past. Creating a farm composed of the people of the land, that is just some kind of sick work you are doing there."
Even though Alain is already taunting the Robert guy, the latter started laughing.
"Hahahaha! Compared to you, I have dreams. Dreams to become the best and to live as a rich person. I am not some cheap guy like you who would not dream big. I am someone who would take all the opportunity to win and have my life become the best. For trashes like you who decided to run away, you are below me!"
Alain started laughing, a kind of laugh that felt evil yet kind of a sarcastic laugh.
"I see. So this was the kind of trash I treated as my best friend and talk all my sentiments in the past huh? This is kind of ironic seeing you are now a head of a facility despite having no talents in creating golems. I doubt you even have any kind of breakthrough from it seeing most of these golems are all substandard."
"Ha, Alain. Times have changed already. If you think you are just someone who will change this world by rebelling against the tactician, then you are wrong. You need to wake up from the society and accept that this will not bring a happy end for you."
Alain stopped smiling and grip his sword tightly. He pointed it to Robert, in a stance that is ready to attack anytime.
"My life has never been happy since my daughter died because of your doing, after you tipped the motherf*cking tactician of our work. Because you are partially the cause of my daughter\'s death, perhaps it is time for me to crumble the life that you know."
"Die."
And an echo of the clack of the sword reverberates the quiet surroundings, followed by a burst of red liquid that immediately made a puddle.
