Chapter 170: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Anime Style? Chapter 74

Beside him, Mo Di's expression had turned utterly icy after witnessing what had just happened.

He certainly knew that Blanchard was a mechanic from the Mechanical Branch.

If before this, the suspicion that the other had colluded with the insect swarm to embezzle federal assets had been merely speculative, then the anomaly within the dragon's body had irrefutably confirmed his suspicions.

And such traitors must be crushed with overwhelming force!

Of course, all of this must wait until reinforcements arrive.

Seeing the insect swarm surge back like a tidal wave, Mo Di took a deep breath and immediately prepared to continue fighting alongside Li Ang.

At that moment, a figure enveloped in dense blood aura broke through the insect swarm and arrived beside the two.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Ang raised an eyebrow: "Danica?"

Yes, the newcomer was Danica, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Yet in Li Ang's perception, this former member of the Great Thunder Corp had clearly reached the Second Tier.

"You've reached the Second Tier?"

At this, Danica replied with a tone brimming with resentment: "Yeah, I was sound asleep, then those bugs woke me up."

"Luckily, my class transition wasn't disrupted."

Sure enough.

Hearing this, Li Ang knew his earlier guess was correct—Danica's odd behavior had indeed been part of completing her class transition.

But now she looked like this.

Still, this wasn't the time to wonder about such things; the priority was eliminating the insects before them.

Li Ang pushed off the ground and shot forward like a white streak into the insect swarm.

As his golden pupils burned brighter, the surrounding air temperature surged rapidly.

Word-Spell: Sovereign Flame!

With Li Ang's current 57.3 mental strength, this high-risk Word-Spell unleashed far greater power than before.

Boom—!

A terrifying shockwave, mixed with tongues of flame, engulfed the surrounding insect swarm.

In an instant, the countless insects on the street suffered Devastating casualties.

Looking at the suddenly cleared street, Li Ang's expression remained calm.

Though the insect swarm's troop production was astonishing, it wasn't infinite.

Add to that the collateral damage from his earlier battle with the dragon, and the subsequent explosion from the dragon's self-destruction—now the number of insects nearby had dropped drastically, and there weren't enough to replenish the losses.

Besides, Open City had merely been breached, not wiped out.

Li Ang occasionally still heard dense gunfire coming from unknown locations—clearly, people across the city were still resisting.

By now, the battle had reached a point where a brief rest was barely possible.

Li Ang returned to his home, now reduced to ruins, and asked Danica: "How did you get here?"

In response, Danica shrugged: "I remembered this was your direction, and with that huge commotion just now, I came to check what was going on."

As she spoke, she glanced at the mangled corpse of the dragon.

If when she first completed her class transition, Danica had still thought she might catch up to this former teammate, now she had given up.

His rate of progress was simply beyond her comparison.

Upon hearing her words, Li Ang instinctively glanced at her: "You made it all the way here from that distance?"

"Just the specialty of my class."

As Li Ang grew curious, Mo Di beside him seemed to recognize Danica's class and spoke with slight surprise: "Nightwalker?"

"You're a vampire?"

Hearing this, Danica froze—she hadn't expected anyone could identify her class and race.

Upon hearing Mo Di's words, Li Ang looked at his former captain with surprise.

During their previous time together, he had never suspected the man was a vampire.

After all, aside from her tendency to sleep excessively, Danica's other behaviors had nothing to do with vampires.

No blood-drinking, no aversion to sunlight—none of it.

'So vampires in this world are like this? Or is she a special breed?'

Unaware of Li Ang's thoughts, Danica sighed heavily: "How come even in this backwater place someone can recognize me? I thought I'd hidden it well enough."

"He's from the Federal Inspection Bureau."

At her words, Li Ang quietly introduced Mo Di's identity.

Danica's face stiffened, then she nervously asked Mo Di: "Did Kristin get caught?"

Then, seeing the faint confusion on Mo Di's face, she relaxed her posture.

Scared herself~

At this point, Mo Di guessed something and spoke with sarcasm: "You vampires always like to evade taxes."

"Don't generalize—I'm just a poor little worker being exploited," Danica said with a dead-eyed expression. "Do I look like one of those damn rich people?"

Mo Di fell silent.

He stared at Danica, so different from his memory of vampires, and his eyelid twitched.

'What kind of place is this Colony Star 9527? How can there be so many oddballs?'

Even after visiting many planets, this elite of the Federal Inspection Bureau still marveled at the bizarre talent and resources of this place.

Meanwhile, Li Ang, having heard their conversation, suddenly wore a strange expression.

Could vampires in this world actually mean capitalists?

But considering Danica's behavior just now, he knew he'd overthought it.

The ruins fell silent just like that.

At that moment, Li Ang suddenly turned to Mo Di and asked, "When did you say the reinforcements would arrive?"

Hearing this, the elite agent of the Federal Review Bureau's expression gradually grew Solemn.

He hadn't noticed anything amiss while in the middle of the fight, but now he sensed something was off.

By all rights, the Review Bureau's reinforcements should have arrived long ago, but the fact was that up to now all he had gotten was a single little vampire who had escaped from some vampire lord's subordinates.

As for reinforcements, there was still not even a shadow of them.

"Tell me, is there any possibility—" Seeing Mo Di's serious expression, Li Ang considered for a moment before voicing his own guess, "That the communications have been jammed by Brando?"

Hearing this, Mo Di's face instantly turned utterly ugly.

Because he realized this was an extremely likely possibility.
