“Even private armies have limited funding.”
With [Sphere Boundary], Aleph effectively hid his traces from any kind of deteethod. He could even briefly turn transparent with it.
“The humvees could be dealt with. The jeeps… they're bomb proof.”
Just like his vehicle, the jeeps are all bomb proof.
Despite throwing two grenades underh, it only mao flip the jeep over.
“Hm.”
A seven to three ratio line appeared on the flipped jeep. The [Knight Killer] in his hands gleamed a terrifying blood light before it easily tore through the Jeep's reinforced metal.
Through the crack, Aleph saw several unsen. There are some that mao stay awake.
A total of eleven men were found ihe jeep.
“Hello and… goodnight.”
The fifth grenade was thrown ihe crack.
Aleph ran without looking back. The moment, a huge explosion occurred not far away from him.
“I have six more…”
Along the way, Aleph picked up mrenades from the dead military persohat served as his voy. They were stored on a belt which he took from their corpse.
He looked at the approag vehicles as well as the nearby sound of rotors from above.
“They reacted quickly. How should I do this..?”
Sou-!
Much to his surprise, the Hind Chopper started l its altitude. It stopped desding when it was less than twelve meters above the surface.
“Two… no, three people.”
Aleph narrowed his eyes. A total of three people in full bck outfit came out. The results from his [Danger Sense] were lower pared to Mobius’.
“Are they pnning to capture me? But the rocket from earlier…”
He didn’t know that it urely an act. If the rocket struck them, Aleph doesn’t know whether his body could withstand it or not.
After all, the tests he did were mostly practical. He couldn’t go as far as try to tank an RPG head-on. It was also the reason why he opted for a bat suit—to plement his body with an unknown upper limit.
Soon, the three suspien nded on the ground. The remaining enemy voys took the initiative to e to their positions.
As they did so, Aleph operated his [Sphere Boundary] in its maximum capacity. There was still a bit of dust clouds and smoke from the battlefield. It made it so that he didn’t eve in the eyes of others.
[Cursed Energy (verted): 510/930]
Looking at his remaining cursed energy, he decided to settle everything in one go.
His body, which was enhanced by it, traversed more than three hundred meters in uwelve seds.
Using the momentum from the ruhen leaped forward, reag the height of the Hind Chopper in one go.
Aleph removed the pin from one of the grenades before throwing the entire belt with it.
“Four seds..!”
With the previous acceleration during his dest, Aleph ran more than a hundred or so meters before a huge explosion occurred once again.
BOOM-!
The Hind Chopper turned into a wrees and bural. It made its dest into the ground. Its close proximity with the other vehicles, especially the humvee, triggered another set of explosions.
Instantly, the three suspien turned into charcoal. The same went for the remaining humvee that followed.
One of the two jeeps were directly smashed by the Hind Chopper that fell from the sky. In the end, only one jeep was left barely intact.
“Huff… Huff…”
Aleph could feel his pulse strongly beating under his ears. He broke the world record from his “past life” and shorte to less than half. Traversing four hundred meters ihan fifteen seds is a terrifyi beyond the capabilities of humans.
His eyes stared at the mess not far away from him.
Without a word, he grasped the handle of [Knight Killer] and sloroached the remaining jeep.
When he came close, he saw the burnt marks all over the jeep. Its engine was pletely scrapped with all the white smoke ing from its hood.
Aleph shattered the tempered and bulletproof gss with the red dagger.
Shatter-!
He pulled out the car door and threw it not far away. Inside, he saw more than ten armed men in various ditions.
“So many people died. If this is your determination…”
“Hey, look! Who’s this—?”
The final grenade on Aleph’s pocket was taken out and thrown ihe jeep.
Some of the sen took the rifles in their hands and poi him. However, he was long gone by the time they did so.
One of the men saw the dark round object that hit his foot.
“Gre—”
BOOM-!
[Achievement Unlocked: One…]
With that, the sudden ambush ended.
*****
Like a stohrown into a pond, the sudden ambush caused huge impacts.
“...I see...”
Beep-!
Aleph did not have the time to ask when Mei ehe call. Judging from her cold tone, someone will be held atable to the attack.
It was not just her. In a short hour, a dozen calls reached out to him.
After the ambush, the surviving bodyguards regained sciousness and called for backup. The euation was settled ihan twelve hours.
“More than half died. Whoever chose tet me like this…”
Nearly seventy pert of his voy died. It was the first time Aleph felt this kind of aowards someone else.
“The learning process of artificial intelligence should be sped up. If only I had the one in Nagazora…”
From his dreams, Aleph knew about the existence of his helper in his time at Nagazora City. The artificial intelligehere had already fis early-phase learning. It was advanced enough to be used as his virtual assistant ihe nuclear-powered suit.
Unfortunately, its bck box was in Nagazora. Its state was unknown, but it was most likely destroyed.
Aleph could only write a new artificial intelligence from scratow, it has been in a learning state for more than three weeks.
“I o crack down on those damned bastards.”
Speaking of it, Aleph recalled someone whom he had tacted before. Due to her uability—akin to Mobius—he chose to stay out of her radar.
Now, it was different. His prior impression on Mobius was far from what he saw during their month or so of cooperation. She was still human in the most literal sense.
It dawned on him that he tends to overplicate things sometimes.
“I have their addresses and identities. If I have a helper…”
Nobody knew what kind of mohey awakened.
