Chapter 1559: 1557: Solo Kill

Chapter 1559: Chapter 1557: Solo Kill

On the balcony eighteen floors up, Han Dong silently assessed the battle scene happening below.

“Listening to their conversation, the ‘heart’ should be the key to killing the Giant.

Unexpected… this creature is quite smart.

Initially pretending to be dumb, it deliberately endured the attacks from this squad while secretly doing two things.

Gradually adapting to their attack traits and patterns, and focusing on changing the heart’s position to avoid exposing it through wounds.

By the time the squad’s first wave of attacks was completely over, its adaptation was also nearly complete… it erupted suddenly, killing the hidden sniper and breaking the situation instantly.

The trait of ‘Split’ is also quite special.

It can somehow dominate the consciousness of live bodies swallowed into its system and then split them out to form independent combat units.

However, there should be a limitation on this kind of splitting; later on, when swallowing other squad members, it performed similar splitting behavior.

It’s about time, we’re up.”

“The heart, huh… I’ll dig it out!”

Green, who could barely restrain himself, pressed his legs against the edge of the balcony, using the impact paired with gravity acceleration, swooping straight down towards the combat area below.

At this moment.

The Giant was about to consume the last Modified Human’s head, approaching the balcony area.

“It’s a perfect angle~ Don’t die too quickly!”

Falling Green lightly touched the “Box of Grudge” on his chest.

Accompanied by the sound of precise components grinding,

The box disintegrated,

adhering to Green’s body, transforming into Hand and Foot Artifacts perfectly merging with his limbs.

He hooked a drying pole on the upper floor with one hand! Using it as a pivot, changing his downward plunge into horizontal movement.

A perfect airborne whip kick!

Wham!

At the moment of impact, a wave of air even spread through the air!

At the same time, there was a clear sound of the skull fracturing, the immense impact shattering all the flesh inside the skull.

The four-meter-tall Giant’s body was kicked away by this foot, crashing into the wall heavily, causing the entire building to tremble faintly.

However, as Green landed in the room, the scope had already locked onto him.

Bang!

The Giant manipulated the sniper… pulling the trigger.

A red Armor-piercing Bullet with explosive effect targeted Green’s body.

“What a hassle~ My current physical state makes it hard to withstand such attacks… However, this feeling is quite exciting~ Field Expansion.”

Buzz!

An invisible field instantly spread out.

The moment the bullet fired.

Green seemed to catch the bullet’s trajectory, instantly performing an extremely difficult backward bend of 90 degrees… the bullet skimmed his clothes and shot into the opposite building.

Boom!

As the sound of the explosion rang out.

Green had already thoroughly torn apart the controlled sniper, the torn flesh chunks being scattered and obliterated.

Immediately following, Han Dong and Sally also landed onto the balcony area.

“Green, need help?”

“No need… We’ve clearly seen this creature’s traits from above~ I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

Han Dong made an OK gesture, leaning against the balcony with Sally, quietly watching.

(Scene switches to Alpha Squad – Captain Veitch)

He was pretending to be dead, secretly observing the suddenly appearing unfamiliar squad, baffled by the situation before him.

‘I’ve never seen this team in Kalmus… Just what are they doing? Letting their teammate solo the Giant while the other two watch from here?’

Veitch couldn’t comprehend the situation at hand.

Whether it’s him or other squads within the City Within the Wall, dealing with the Infinite City’s Giant requires teamwork.

Essentially needing an [Eye] to observe the heart’s position,

A melee member to attract attention,

And a versatile member to regulate the situation,

He couldn’t imagine how one person could kill a Giant.

The disparity in physique and strength, the advantage of super fast regeneration, and the trait of only dying when the heart is killed – one person couldn’t handle it.

‘These guys surely won’t last long, but they just might give me a chance to survive.

Dammit! My body’s been destroyed too… With only my head left, although I can escape, all the materials I’ve accumulated will be lost.

Forget it, given this opportunity, securing my life comes first.’

The ‘Bloodline – Alpha Model’ demonstrates its unique effects.

Even with only a mechanical skull remaining, as long as the brain inside remains undamaged, relevant functionality can normally operate.

Several metallic spidery limbs sprouted from the neck area, just as he planned to sneak away.

Slam!

A blood-stained hand grasped his head.

“There are many things to ask later, don’t be so quick to leave.

If you cooperate nicely, I might consider letting you leave alive.

Of course, if there’s any little tricks, I’ll extract your brain information using various special means.”

“Got it…”

The unexplainable pressure made Veitch not dare to resist, but he still asked about his puzzlement.

“Why aren’t you teaming up to fight… This is a mutated ‘Subhuman Species’, virtually impossible to kill solo.”

“Just watch.”

The following scene directly surpassed Veitch’s realm of understanding.

In his view, the youth whose body appeared covered in small holes from some disease, without wearing any armor and even shirtless, gradually suppressed the four-meter Giant.

The youth’s nimble body and indescribable nervous reflex allowed him to dodge every attack… and judging from his expression, he seemed quite relaxed.

Moreover, the seemingly frail youth’s physique was capable of delivering effective and deadly strikes.

Whether it’s a straight punch, claw strike, or kick,

All could effectively damage the Giant’s flesh, partly due to equipment, partly from the youth’s own traits, a faintly floating Tentacle.

“So strong! Who exactly are you… Could it be you’re ‘Hikers’ who frequently wander the Infinite City, rarely returning to Kalmus?”

Hmm! What is he doing!?”

Again, the scene left Veitch unable to comprehend.

The youth, previously holding the advantage, suddenly stopped moving as if short-circuited… standing straight before the Giant.

“Is his body overloaded? Go save him quickly! Once devoured he’ll be dominated, splitting into an equally powerful independent unit.”

However, no matter how much Veitch emphasized the gravity of the situation, Han Dong and Sally remained unmoved.

Han Dong placed his index finger on his lips, “Shh! Quiet… Just watch, Green has found a better solution.”

“You all…”

The youth covered in holes didn’t short-circuit, he even stretched lazily on the spot.

Next, the expected scene indeed unfolded.

The Giant opened its massive mouth and swallowed the youth whole… but upon closer inspection, it seemed more like the youth voluntarily drilled into the Giant.

A second passed.

Slam! The lower abdomen of the Giant burst open.

The youth climbed out looking relaxed, covered in blood vessels and fragments of organs.

He held a pulsating heart in his hands.

“What a hassle~ This guy actually hid the heart at the tip.

It’s indeed better to handle it from inside… You two come here! According to the staff, it seems we need to drip the heart’s blood on our insignias.”

With the heart extracted, the Giant’s regenerative ability was completely erased, dying at a visibly rapid pace.
