Chapter 19: Warrior

Inside the palace of Boleslaw Hive Tower, amidst a blood-colored mist, the ballistic armor that Luoersiliefu had stripped from a corpse shattered, and he instantly grew a size larger.

His originally merely sturdy physique instantly became brawny.

"Now do as I say, control the overflowing power..."

The "Warrior" Potion strengthens the body but does not enhance the "Mental Body"; it took Luoersiliefu three times as long as it took Bukayo to contain the overflowing power, and another ten times as long to barely grasp the method of Meditation.

"My lord, I..."

Luoersiliefu took an excited step forward; his uncontrollable superhuman agility caused him to lose his Balance, and he lunged straight ahead.

To give Luoersiliefu an unforgettable lesson and teach him the importance of controlling power, Ninglu tilted his body slightly, and the new "Warrior" slammed headfirst into the wall.

Boom—a massive force shook the wall, causing it to sway; stars danced before Luoersiliefu's eyes, and it was only a moment later that he regained his senses.

Ninglu's voice sounded in his ears, "Master your power."

Luoersiliefu held his forehead; he felt his injuries were not as severe as he had imagined—if it were before, he feared he would not have recovered for several minutes.

【The Master is a god; only a deity could bestow such power upon me!】

He hurriedly came before Ninglu, knelt on one knee, and fixed his gaze on his Master's steel boots.

"My lord, I will certainly not fail your trust!"

Ninglu helped him up, and a majestic voice sounded.

"I believe in you!"

Tears were about to spill from Luoersiliefu's eyes, but fortunately, the buzzing of the communicator sounded just in time.

Aside from the Master, the only ones who could contact him were Bukayo and his newly appointed Lieutenant; he suppressed his surging emotions.

"My lord... please forgive me!"

Luoersiliefu quickly adjusted himself, his tone returning to normal.

"No matter."

After Luoersiliefu connected, the Lieutenant's anxious voice came through.

"My lord, an aristocratic force has launched an attack on the defensive line; the Finde Family is about to be unable to hold them off."

At this moment, Ninglu looked through the viewing window and saw the charge of several thousand enemy troops below.

He did not turn back, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Go, my 'Warrior'; only in battle can you master the power I have bestowed upon you."

"Remember! Decapitation!"

"By your command, my lord!"

Luoersiliefu felt trusted once more; his hot blood and fighting spirit were instantly ignited.

After turning and walking out of the palace, he sped downward with agility.

【My speed has increased by more than several times; it is not just the difference between going up and charging down—my speed has improved too much.】

His gaze caught sight of a corpse, and at the same time, his intuition confirmed that this set of armor would fit.

Luoersiliefu used his immense strength to tear off the ballistic armor he was wearing and put on the new armor; it fit perfectly.

Immediately, he picked up the Laser Pistol and the Chainsword.

As he gripped the two weapons, he had a strange feeling, as if these two weapons were a part of his own body.

The information that had flooded his mind earlier could not help but surface: 【Proficiency in all kinds of weapons and armor; there is no weapon that cannot be used】.

Then, the Master's words surfaced in his mind again: "Master your power."

As the "Warrior" flew downward, he swung the weapons in his hands.

Rapid forward thrusts, backhand aiming while turning...

When he walked out of the Hive Tower, Luoersiliefu's eyes were full of confidence; he had initially mastered the extraordinary ability—"Physical Enhancement".

His gaze searched through the enemy ranks, and he silently recited "Decapitation" in his heart.

Luoersiliefu instantly found the Commander wearing a red robe in the enemy ranks, a mocking smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

【Yes, you aristocratic Commanders always wear the most conspicuous red robes!】

He knew he could not charge into the enemy ranks alone like his Master, so he called over the hundred-man squad under his direct command.

"Follow me, kill the enemy Commander!"

"Yes!"

The gang elites then watched in shock as Luoersiliefu, who usually charged alongside everyone else, rushed out in the lead; he raised his hand and fired a shot, the Laser beam accurately piercing between the eyes of an enemy soldier thirty meters away.

They could not help but wonder, 【When did the Boss become so fierce? Even with a change to an aristocratic Laser Pistol, it is impossible to accurately shoot and kill an enemy's vital point while running.】

They fired one after another using the weapons they had replaced, and soon discovered that their accuracy had indeed improved, but nowhere near as exaggeratedly as the Boss's.

Every time Luoersiliefu pulled the trigger, an enemy fell, and he instantly killed his way into the enemy ranks.

The valiant "Warrior" instantly attracted the enemy's fire, and dozens of enemy weapons were aimed at him to launch an attack.

Luoersiliefu rolled on the ground and hid behind abandoned fortifications.

"Idiots! Attack!"

His subordinates hurriedly raised their weapons to attack.

Luoersiliefu quickly changed the Energy Cell, and while his subordinates attracted the fire, he ran at full speed.

The wind whistled in his ears; he raised his left arm and pulled the trigger.

Rat-tat-tat...

A series of rapid shots, all hitting the enemies.

The red-robed Commander discovered that his personal guards had been killed in the blink of an eye.

【Where did this fierce man come from? Could it be the recently rising bounty Hunter Thierry Vieira? But isn't he active in Ailuobo Hive City?】

The roar of a Chainsword sounded in his ears; he had no time to think, so he raised his hand and fired a shot.

Luoersiliefu kept his eyes locked on him, immediately ducking to dodge, then flew into a kick, striking the red-robed Commander's arm.

With a crisp snap, the noble Commander's arm was kicked broken.

【Such immense brute force.】

He staggered backward, drew his ornate Power Sword, and executed a sword stance according to the 23rd article of the "Osberh-Vaya" Dao.

Since his strength and agility were both inferior to his opponent, he naturally had to use technique; the essence of this Vostonia combat art was to pinpoint the enemy's vulnerabilities and seize the moment to neutralize the enemy's offensive power.

Atop the Hive Tower, Ninglu, who was watching the battle, his eyes brightened, and he whispered.

"A bit interesting."

The Power Sword struck exactly on Luoersiliefu's sword-wielding right arm, but fortunately, at the critical moment, the "Warrior"'s right arm moved.

The Power Sword missed, only slicing off the armor on the outer side of his arm, failing to cleave his wrist.

The red-robed Commander was startled; he retracted his sword to prepare a parry, but Luoersiliefu was faster than him.

The noble Commander felt the attack trajectory of the Chainsword was somewhat familiar; before he could identify the opponent's attack, his limb had already been shredded.

The red-robed Commander was shocked; he had already recognized that the plebeian before him was using the very "Osberh-Vaya" that he had only mastered after years of bitter practice in swordsmanship, and his eyes widened.

"How is this possible? Ah!"

Luoersiliefu did not answer his question, ending the noble Commander's life with a single slash.

Pushing open the blast door, Howard, who had just stepped out of the assault boat, happened to witness this scene.

【Marchuk is a master of swordsmanship; he has rendered great service during Shimanski's nearly thirty years of expansion, slaying countless powerful enemies, yet he was actually...】

He frowned and pondered for a moment before recalling the middle-aged gang member's name.

【Luoersiliefu actually slew Marchuk; he was previously just a nameless Lower Hive gang member, yet he is actually this strong.

No, impossible; if he had this capability, he would have long since ascended to the Upper Hive.】

Just as he was pondering, Luoersiliefu walked up to him.

"You have returned; how is the situation?"

Having become a "Warrior," Luoersiliefu's temperament had quietly changed; in his heart, only Ninglu was supreme, and neither Tech-Priests nor nobles would make him look at them differently.

"Hmm..." Howard was stunned for a moment, feeling slightly uncomfortable, but he did not pursue it; he wore a smile, "Mission accomplished."

"You have changed; you are stronger than when you climbed the tower before."

"This is the power bestowed by the Lord; perhaps one day you will also receive the bestowal."
