Bad Born Blood Chapter 239

239
The headquarters of the Jaffa Company was nothing short of a military facility. This sturdy castle proved its defensive capabilities during the Menoa Guard raid.

It is a building that could withstand air raids and bombings. However, now the rooftop and upper floors have collapsed to a point where it is almost absurd.

An attack that penetrates even Jafar’s office is no ordinary event.

‘What is it?’

How did you attack? What weapon did you use?

‘Who is it?’

Kinuan? Or Jafar’s enemy? Mushir Al-Kashra? President Son Seok-jae? Or the Federation?

‘What is the purpose?’

This one is easily narrowed down. It’s either me or Jafar.

I opened my eyes with all sorts of thoughts running through my head. The pain became clearer.

It hurts, it hurts,

My whole body creaked as I was thrown here and there by the aftershock.

‘There’s nothing that can’t be moved. The condition is better than expected. At best, the ribs are broken and the muscles are torn. The spine is fine.’

I stared at my left hand.

‘Jafar’s arm.’

So… … Really, only Jafar’s arm was holding my left hand. Anything beyond the elbow was torn off.

Swish.

My gaze stopped on Jafar, who was mixed with the debris. The air still rumbled with the afterglow of the explosion.

“Tssuh, tsut… … .”

Jafar was only letting out soft gasps. He was covered in blood. His limbs were broken and torn, and it looked like they would come right off if someone pulled on them.

In fact, the arm of Jafar that I was holding onto was ripped off. However, if I hadn’t grabbed it, it would have been sucked into the explosion and killed instantly.

Jafar was more seriously affected by the explosion than I was. He was not trained to protect himself unconsciously like I was, so he suffered serious injuries.

Swish, swish.

The Equsians who had been blown away by the explosion also stood up one by one and prepared for battle. Some of them were killed instantly or seriously injured.

‘n.’

Endo adjusted his dislocated shoulder with his own force and then grasped the situation. He gestured to the other Equsians and ordered them to transport Jafar.

‘At first, he looked at me with suspicion.’

But En was not stupid. If I had tried to kill or harm Jafar, Jafar would no longer be of this world.

Krrrr!

A loud noise continued to come from the ceiling. At first glance, the ceiling of the office was covered with dozens of layers of reinforcement bars, each a dozen meters long.

‘It is not a structure that can be penetrated by normal bombs or attacks. It is a penetrating bomb developed for military use.’

It is a weapon for special purposes. It is difficult to obtain from civilians or individuals.

My head is spinning fast.

‘The military industry, or the privileged class with the power and wealth to acquire military weapons. If not… … .’

The worst-case scenario occurred to me.

‘The violence of the state. That is, the military.’

Even though it is a border city, this is the Bellato Federation. If another country officially engages in military activities, diplomatic friction will inevitably arise.

‘Then the Federation has an army?’

Does the Federation have any motive for doing so?

Soon I saw… …the reality of desperate violence.

Ku- Woong!

There was a straight path from the roof to the office. A black object fell down it.

Kikrik, kkirik.

There was a mechanical sound. It wasn’t loud or harsh. It was a soft friction sound that spread pleasantly.

Wow!

A large optical lens shone through the hazy dust.

“… …Legion.”

I looked at the iron knight and quietly recited his name.

The Legion’s exterior and paint were an unfamiliar muted color. It seemed to swallow even the light. However, the Legion’s unique skeleton was revealed, so I couldn’t help but notice it.

Kiririririk!

The one-eyed legion unfurled its heavy spear. The folded shaft and blade shot out sharply.

Creak.

And then Legion, holding the spear, stretched out his finger and pointed at me.

… … The purpose was me.

Ivan Kratsya’s actions were quick. He sent his men to get hold of me.

‘It is not a legion belonging to the Royal Guard. Perhaps… … a legion of shadows that have lost their ego.’

I have fought the Shadow Battle Corps before. But this is my first fight with the Shadow Legion…

‘Is it worth a try?’

Bad habits are developing. The competitive spirit is rising. I don’t even have the fireworks right now.

‘Insufficient firepower and attack power.’

A tracking pistol or something like that wouldn’t work against the Legion.

In reality, you have to fight against the armed Legion, relying only on Lapis’ body.

Crackle, crackle.

My fingers twitched as the output of my evil power increased. I wanted to challenge the hardship even though I knew it would be difficult.

Khoo- Whoosh! Thud!

There were two more falls behind the Legion.

… … Let’s be honest, it wasn’t a challenge worth taking on.

There were three Shadow Legions in total. Even the three Shadow Battle Bodies were difficult to handle. The essence of the Empire is not easy to take.

The Equusians transported Japa and watched the situation unfold.

‘There are no orders from Jafar right now. The Equusian mercenaries will make their own decisions and move accordingly.’

The raiders were clearly after me. Equsian and Jafar moved as if they were not interested.

The Equusians hate me, and they quickly realized that the attackers before them were powerful.

‘There is no reason for the Equusians to help me.’

The one-eyed legion looked at me and then glanced to the side. It was in the direction where En was standing.

Too- Woong!

There was a loud noise. A spherical energy blast, characteristic of concussion rounds, erupted from Legion’s head.

I looked at Yen. He pulled the trigger of his stun rifle repeatedly.

Thud! Thud!

The concussion bullet struck Legion’s body and head, but the bluish energy reaction from Legion’s armor neutralized the impact.

Crunch, shoo!

The coolant shell fell at Yen’s feet.

-We, Lin, have no intention of fighting you. Our target is the traitor to the Empire, Lucius Custoria.

The staggering Legion regained their shock and spoke to En. They are not saying this out of gentleness or out of a desire to cause unnecessary casualties.

‘Because I know that if Equusian mercenaries join the fight here, things will be difficult to handle.’

En signaled a tactical command to the Equsians with a hand gesture.

-You have invaded Japa’s headquarters without permission and have injured our employer. You are defeating our mission. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you belong, you piece of shit.

This was also my mistake. There was no reason for the Equusian mercenaries not to fight.

Even if they don’t feel like it emotionally, Equusian mercenaries fight according to principles even if the odds of victory are low. If Jaffa hires them long term, they must be among the most honest of Equusian mercenaries.

I guess I’ve become stupid. I’ve been expecting everything to go against me, so I’ve been missing out on the basics.

… … Let’s just think that the world could be a little kinder to me.

There are currently 18 Equusian mercenaries staying on this floor, including Yen. If we buy some time, additional mercenary forces will join.

Boom!

I went to the dead Equusian and stamped my feet.

The sword that was crushed under my foot bounced back with the force of recoil. The blade that rose up soared right before my eyes.

Whoosh

I grabbed the Equusian’s sword as if I was snatching it. To them it was the size of a self-defense knife, but to me it was a decent heavy sword.

Boohoo!

It felt like swinging a jungle sword. The blade shone with a blue light that seemed to disperse.

‘Single molecule coated blade.’

It might work against the Legion a few times.

The fight between the Shadow Legion Set and ‘us’ has begun.

Boom! Bang!

Explosions erupted all around. The noise was deafening. The Equsian mercenaries scattered efficiently and took cover.

The Equsians held out bravely even as the Legion unleashed high-powered projectiles that blew away their cover.

The Equusian mercenaries are tenacious. They are not shaken even when their comrades die right next to them. It is not because they do not know emotions and sorrow.

‘The emotional aftermath can be settled after the battle is over. For now, I just have to suppress it even as the interest piles up.’

It was the kind of emotional control and combat performance you would only see in elite units.

The two legions were tied down by the Equusians. However, the one-eyed legion flew towards me with its red eyes glowing ominously.

Despite the narrow space, Legion landed in front of me, leading his large body. The floor cracked open and debris flew out.

I looked at the bastard without moving.

“Ivan Krachia ordered you to bring him in alive? That’s a tricky order.”

His target is my arms and legs.

The one-eyed legion did not answer. It simply swung its spear and aimed for my two legs.

It was an absurdly cramped space for Legion. However, Legion, with its ‘battle-specific brain’, drew out the optimal movement with calculations beyond imagination.

WHISTLE! WHISTLE!

The one-eyed legion moved freely as if in a vast space, swinging its spear stylishly. Then, from time to time, it stretched out its arm and tried to grab my leg.

Fight!

I jumped up, my hand on the spear of the Legion, and aimed my sword at its head.

Swish!

Legion gently bowed his head and avoided my blade.

‘That’s amazing.’

What was surprising was not the legion’s power.

‘Even if he can’t take my life, I can follow his movements.’

I responded to the Legion much better than I expected… Even without the battle hormones, I thought it was worth a try.

‘Mushir al-Kashra was a much more difficult opponent.’

My defeat of Mushir Al-Kashra was due to a series of lucky events.

‘Kashura had no intention of killing me, and instead engaged me in an unfavorable close combat to test me.’

I was moving behind Legion, my lips quivering. No matter how powerful Legion is, its turning radius is so large that it can’t be faster than me.

‘Kashura, you too are the same. You are so arrogant.’

I’m not an easy opponent to ‘capture’.

‘If you keep trying to capture me like this, your head will be blown off.’

I grabbed the bastard’s back armor and pulled it before the Legion could turn around.

Bam!

As I was flying, I grabbed Legion’s back and clung to him tightly. I had to aim for the vital point when the cutting power of the single molecule coating was at its best. If I cut off the limbs and the cutting power of the coating weakened, there would be no way to cut off the bastard’s windpipe.

‘Get out.’

I tried to stab Legion in the back of the head.

Too- Woong!

But the Legion’s back armor exploded and burst. I was pushed back by the blasted armor as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer and was blown far away.

‘Damn, there are so many different devices.’

Well, if you think about it, it’s an obvious device. The bigger the size and the bigger the movements, the more likely it is that you’ll get caught.

I held onto my senses. Normally, I would have died in the situation I was in just now.

With the tracking performance, power, and responsiveness of the Legion, it could easily cut me down with a spear while I was flying.

‘You can’t kill me after all.’

No matter how fancy the armor he puts on… … he is nothing more than a slave.

A machine soldier without free will, a slave to Ivan Kratsya.

But even if they were slaves, the violence was real. Unlike me, the Equsians were being killed mercilessly. In an instant, there were less than ten left.

Kwajik!

But there was a result. The blade of En pierced Legion from the chin to the crown of his head. Legion’s head cracked and then collapsed from the legs down.

‘I guess being strong wasn’t just an empty boast.’

Okay, if I survive here, I’ll have to become friends with Yen.

puck!

However, En was hit by the ‘Dead Legion’s’ fist and was thrown into the wall. I saw his stomach cave in. All the internal organs inside his stomach must have burst out.

Cybernetic bodies often have residual signals that allow them to move for a while without a brain. We call this the phantom phenomenon. I am familiar with this phenomenon, but… … it seems to have been unfamiliar to En.

“Ha, shit,”

A curse came out of my mouth. The one-eyed legion was coming towards me, caressing the back of its neck where its armor plate had disappeared.

‘I wish Yen hadn’t been hit just now. The odds were actually better this way.’

However, as Yen was defeated, the odds of winning dropped to rock bottom.

‘Damn, you damn Equusian-!!’

If you survive here, I’ll laugh at you. You idiot, you idiot, you talkative alien bastard.
