~14 min read 2,796 words

291 Senior, yours... is really easy to use!

【Name: Maybis Cursed Silver (Curse, Flesh, Metal)】

【Appearance: Bright silver special metal...】

【Ability: Curse Amplification, Flesh Assimilation, Metal Body】

【Cost: The user's five senses will be permanently halved, and the soul will also suffer irreversible defects (obtained the holder's permission, no need to pay the cost)】

【File: The City of Cursed Silver, Maybis, had huge reserves of silver mines and was once one of the most important mining cities in the Kingdom. From its initial construction over three hundred years ago, it paid a very generous tax and mineral output to the Kingdom every year.

Until eleven years ago, the secret society "Earth Essence" attacked Maybis City, causing 3,615 residents in the central area of May City to have their flesh and blood eroded by the silver rain falling from the sky, all turning into metal statues that could not move. Only one young man named Peony Alphahe escaped and joined the Virgin Branch of the Bureau of Cleaning the following year...

Since then, during a raid mission on the airship tower, learning that Leon Laien, a level 3 accident handler of the Virgin Branch, was in a life-and-death crisis and he himself could not take action, Peony Alphahe took the initiative to give up the ownership of a portion of the Cursed Silver and temporarily transferred it to Leon Laien, hoping to help him retreat safely...】

【Evaluation: A very powerful anomaly, but this mass of Cursed Silver does not completely belong to you. The most critical part of it still belongs to its previous holder. Please don't forget to help him bring this part back】

【Corruption Value: 19.9 (5.4)】

【Your corruption value has increased】

……

"Whoosh!"

Seeming to feel Leon's aura, the shiny silver buttocks swayed slightly, then converted from a solid state to a liquid state, and with a whoosh, instantly dissipated, leaving only... on the spot.

╰v╯

Understood. Thank you for your help, Senior. I will bring this most critical part back to you.

Seeing this scene, Leon's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, then he first directed the young Ha to put away Senior Peony's "only," and then tentatively probed his will toward this pool of mercury-like liquid metal on the ground.

"Hum!"

Accompanied by a light sound like a blade trembling, under the drive of Leon's will, the mercury-like liquid metal on the ground twisted and deformed, instantly turning into a thin and slender silver sword, and slashed fiercely toward the cracked thermos beside it.

"Clang!"

A sharp and crisp metallic clashing sound rang out. The iron-cast thermos borrowed by the red-haired Director was instantly sliced open like tender tofu, cracking into two halves with a snap.

And it wasn't just the thermos; even the ground under the thermos couldn't withstand this slash, directly being cut out a thin and long gully half a meter deep.

It's actually this sharp?!

Looking at the destruction caused by the Cursed Silver long sword, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly.

It is worthy of being an anomaly with a corruption value close to 20 points. Just a casual strike can cause such great destruction. If he spent a little more "effort," he could probably even cut through a pneumatic shield nearly twenty centimeters thick.

And Senior Peony's buttocks, although not as omnipotent as his Holy Spirit pendant, their speed and concealment were not very good, and the "range" was only two or three meters. Any further, and they would lose control.

But if it was just about destructive power, compared to the Holy Spirit pendant that could only pierce through a few centimeters of steel plate, the slash issued by the weapon formed by Cursed Silver was a grade higher and more.

As for the defensive capability...

After trying to divide the Cursed Silver mass into two and having a "self-contradictory" attempt, looking at the Cursed Silver shield that easily blocked the stab after hardening, Leon, who had a count of the defensive capability of Cursed Silver, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

It's also very strong!

It seems that Senior Peony probably bet that he would come to find his buttocks, so he specially transferred the control of this part of the Cursed Silver to him temporarily, hoping to be able to help him.

And his own anomalies were sealed one after another. Although 【War Diagonal】 had not completely failed and could solve enemies relying on the young Ha's electrotherapy, his means of protection and attack were exactly lacking. This help came at just the right time!

After thanking Senior Peony for his help from the bottom of his heart, Leon, overjoyed, hurriedly controlled the Cursed Silver long sword to float up, wanting to try if he could "fly with a sword" and leave in time before other guards arrived.

But unfortunately, Senior Peony's buttocks didn't seem to support such an operation.

The moment Leon's feet left the earth, the Cursed Silver mass, which could originally move freely in the air and even turn into a giant hand to grab objects, seemed to have lost all vitality, turning into a liquid state and falling down again.

This... is Cursed Silver as a mineral, its power coming from the earth? Or is it because Senior Peony himself is afraid of heights?

After trying twice and failing, Leon had to give up the plan to fly away directly, and instead controlled the Cursed Silver to expand like he usually operated the Holy Spirit pendant, laying a layer of barrier around his body, and then began to run wildly in the direction away from the airship tower.

Must accelerate.

After rushing out of the encirclement under the tower, he was first plotted against by the Snake Spirit of the Scale-Weighing Sect, and later testing the effect of Senior Peony's buttocks also took some time. If he didn't retreat quickly, it would be troublesome if he was blocked by the guard team that arrived later!

……

"Suspicious target found! Quick! Blow the whistle!"

After vaguely seeing a group of silver light speeding on the plain, the soldier on the watchtower couldn't help but tighten his expression, first blew the warning whistle, and then immediately waved the flag toward the distance.

Seven o'clock direction, one target, suspected of having special weapons?

Squinting his eyes to look at the watchtower and interpreting the content of the flag language, the commander of a squad composed of more than twenty power armors who was rushing to the airship tower at full speed first controlled the arm of his power armor to point to the power armor of a team member behind him, then pointed to the nine o'clock direction and made a grabbing gesture, signaling him to go and confirm the target.

Amidst the dull warning whistle, the power armor of that team member made an understanding gesture, then immediately took the initiative to slow down and leave the team, then changed direction and chased toward the target direction.

Hope everything goes well this time...

Not paying too much attention to this episode, looking at the airship gasbag wrapped around the top of the airship tower that had not been completely burned out, the commander of the power armor squad sighed, then adjusted the pressure gauge of the power armor and increased the already fast speed by a small margin.

Although he was not the guard team directly guarding the airship tower, but just a rotating emergency squad sent by the military department, his duty was only to threaten and assist in guarding the airship tower when a large number of hostile targets appeared.

But this time such a big commotion was made, and even the airship of the Kingdom of Kroke was burned. Even if he only had the responsibility of coordinated defense, he would probably have to eat the blame together.

Those damned attackers were really... not coming early or late, but choosing to make trouble when he was transferred to coordinate the defense!

At the moment, he only hoped that he could arrive in time, intercept the criminals who attacked the airship tower, or even shoot them directly, so as to reduce some of the guilt on his body.

Otherwise, even if he was not the main person in charge and only needed to bear some joint responsibility, he was probably not going to be promoted in a short time, and would have to squat in his current position for another three, five, or seven years...

"Toot... toot toot!"

And just when the commander of the power armor squad was rushing on the road and letting his imagination run wild in his mind, the dull warning whistle sounded again, and it was much more urgent than before.

Hearing the whistle, he opened the telescope in surprise and looked at the direction of the watchtower. The flag on the watchtower changed color, from beige to deep orange with a higher warning level.

Nine o'clock direction, still the previous target, the person I sent was defeated?

After estimating the time the team member left, the commander of the power armor squad suddenly became solemn.

According to the flag language given by the watchtower, that suspicious target was not power armor, but just a person carrying unknown weapons and running on foot.

And the team member he sent, driving a power armor more than four meters high, was actually defeated in not much time? What on earth did that person bring?

"You go!"

Slightly lowering his speed, after making a gesture to open the window to the back, the commander of the power armor squad also opened the air window of the outer armor and shouted directly to the power armor of the adjutant behind him:

"There is a dangerous target in the nine o'clock direction. You take two people and go over to see what's going on!"

"Got it."

The adjutant nodded upon hearing this, then picked two people from the power armor squad. Three tall power armors slowed down one after another and left the team, rushing toward the nine o'clock direction.

Theoretically, a squad composed of three power armors was enough to easily take down a firepower point guarded by hundreds of soldiers. Going to catch a walking target carrying unknown weapons was really making a mountain out of a molehill.

But the team member sent last time lay down too quickly, and the commander of the power armor squad was not sure about the situation, so he chose to be steady, not only splitting out an excessive amount of manpower to find the target, but also ordering the entire squad to slow down, ready to turn back to support at any time.

The time waiting for feedback this time, although it was much longer than the last time, likewise didn't take long before a more urgent warning whistle sounded suddenly, and the flag on the watchtower changed color again.

A red flag representing the second highest warning, second only to the black flag?

Seeing the color of the flag, the commander couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and then put his eyes to the telescope, trying hard to identify the flag language issued on the watchtower.

Eleven o'clock direction, same target, all defeated?!

"Turn back!"

The commander who noticed something was wrong directly opened the air window and shouted to the power armor squad behind him:

"The ten power armors in the rear continue to move forward, everyone else pull the pressure gauge to the yellow zone! Eleven o'clock direction, return to support at full speed!"

……

Sure enough, running with two legs is still too slow.

In the soul vision, seeing several souls rushing toward him at a speed of sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, Leon couldn't help but frown, then controlled the Cursed Silver to form a crowbar, stuck it on the dark door behind the power armor, and pried it hard.

"Creak!"

Relying on the huge strength brought by the 5-point corruption value and the power blessing of the Cursed Silver crowbar, the solid dark door with a thickness comparable to a pneumatic shield made a metallic deformation groan, and then popped open with a bang, revealing the complex gear set inside, and the huge energy storage block wrapped in a purple-red copper shell stuck in the center of the gear set.

Not bad, this one has quite a bit left.

Through the translucent resin scale, looking at the storage of the dark purple liquid in the energy storage block, Leon nodded with satisfaction, then used the Cursed Silver crowbar to pry open the copper wires and deformed gears, and pried the tail of the energy storage block, which was held by a thick card spring, with a creaking sound.

"You're dead!"

After spitting out the gray soil he had gnawed into his mouth, looking at the madman who was prying the power armor's energy storage block, the adjutant who was pulled out of the cockpit and thrown to the ground gritted his teeth, his golden hair shaking, and scolded:

"If you are not the mastermind, attacking the airship tower might not necessarily be a capital crime, but destroying the military department's power armor and stealing the power armor's energy storage block... these two are both capital crimes!"

"Creak"

"Stop, you bastard! Do you know what you are doing? This batch of power armor is the private property of our Laien family!"

"Creak creak"

"Don't pry anymore! Our Laien family's new Duke is about to marry the Royal Family and regain control of the Upper Academy! Even if you can run away today, you will be wanted by the entire Kingdom!"

"Creak creak creak"

"Are you listening to me at all?"

Listening, of course listening.

After turning his head to glance at this little golden hair, Leon, who had pried around the card spring, gave him an ambiguous smile, then stepped on the Cursed Silver crowbar and pried the power armor's energy storage block off with a snap.

Remembered that the intelligent machine "Arthefi 128" in the airship said that as long as the power armor's energy storage block was connected to her, she could be reactivated, and this thing was not easy to get. If there was a chance to get it, he had to prepare a few more.

"That is the property of our Laien family! Damn it! Put it down!"

Looking at Leon picking up the energy storage block worth more than 10,000 gold wheels and throwing it to the ground very roughly with a clatter, piling it up with the other three energy storage blocks, the adjutant, whose intestines were knotting with heartache, couldn't help but curse angrily:

"You're finished! Our Laien family will definitely not let you go. From now on, the wanted order about you will be hung on every bulletin board in the Kingdom!"

Ah yes yes yes!

After greeting the young Ha to collect the piled-up energy storage blocks, Leon jumped down from the fallen power armor amidst the angry glares of several little golden hairs. Just as he was about to set off to retreat, a rhythmic roar sounded from afar.

Leon squinted and looked, finding that a full twelve power armors more than four meters high had already revealed their figures from afar, rushing toward this side in the rolling dust, and the target was undoubtedly himself.

They arrived really fast...

Looking at the mechanical giants rushing toward him, listening to the roar of the steam furnace getting closer and closer, Leon couldn't help but click his tongue. Just as he turned around and prepared to continue running, the little golden hair's clamor came from behind him.

"I said, you're dead!"

Staring fiercely at Leon in front of him, the adjutant from the Laien family shook his golden hair, looking happy:

"You would have been finished if you had knocked down three of us, this time so many came at once, you are definitely finished! And the captain is different from us, his power armor was bought from the Kingdom of Kroke at a high price... what are you doing?!"

"You're right, I really can't hold on against so many power armors, just those thermal weapons are enough for me to drink a pot."

After answering a question that was not asked, Leon took out a rope, tied the panicked golden-haired adjutant back-to-back with himself, then carried him on his back and ran wildly, while calmly answering:

"In order to avoid being directly killed by so many artillery pieces, I have to trouble you to block for me... Oh right, I can guarantee you that the new Duke of your Laien family will definitely thank you from the bottom of his heart for your contribution!" ===== CHAPTER 293 =====
