Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 74: Star Gate Battle (Part 2)
The attacks from the outside world continued, and even intensified. Countless starlights were projected onto the structure, throwing those mass-produced soldiers into the structure.
The people of the Free Alliance seemed to be unable to distinguish between what was from the university and what was from the Holy Light. In their stupid brains, they did not seem to care about these small differences. The three reserve regiments of the Holy Light were stationed in the university's research base. These were the new generation of protozoa that emerged as a reserve force.
As the original bodies of the sequence that the Holy Light has completed, they are now starting their own training again. These new generations who are at most the second stage of magic awakening can be said to be the seeds of the Holy Light. However, the Holy Light itself is too weak to be sorted or operated more precisely. Therefore, these original bodies usually act together with the researchers of the university. Their strength is relatively weak, but their number is large, which seems to have attracted some attention from the Free Alliance that should not be paid.
But you have to know that even if they are Primarchs, these servants of the Holy Light have still accomplished countless great deeds . Now they are on the road to promotion again, and they are even stronger than some demigods, and even some gods. The will shield generated on their armor can even directly withstand the bombardment of those drop pods. Although the overall structure is still falling, some vital nodes are still not lost under the maintenance of these taciturn warriors. The whole structure is like a spring. Although it is easy to press down, every deeper it will pay a greater price.
On the thirteenth floor, in the outer space that had already fallen in the first wave of attacks, no one knew that a group of small teams were moving along the energy pipeline towards a hidden communication structure. If the communication structure in the experiment was opened, it might be possible to reverse the entire battle situation.
However, the road leading to the hidden communication node was not easy to navigate. There were gaps everywhere caused by the login cabin, and some debris stuck in the air or on the floor.
Although the leading swordsman was fearless, the researchers couldn't help but reveal timid looks on their faces.
They had not experienced any wars, nor did they have any particularly firm beliefs. Although the high-end personnel of the university were not much worse than the Holy Light, they were strictly speaking just a group of ordinary smart people who came to participate in the research project and wanted to study the composition and truth of this world. It was a bit too much to expect them to transform into a group of warriors directly. Some people even began to get restless halfway through.
However, when they were halfway along the way, an inexplicable feeling of weightlessness suddenly enveloped everyone's feet. Several researchers with poor balance screamed, and then fell directly into the deep pit through the gap beside them, breaking into pieces. The other researchers were even more shocked.
"The gravity module has begun to fail. Either we are torn apart from the main structure, or this place is almost finished. We have to hurry!"
"There is no need to rush. Only calm thinking can determine your fate."
Compared to the researchers' anxious feelings, the steel giant looked relaxed.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with his reliable appearance exposed. The shield generators around him turned his will into a shield, blocking all harmful things from invading. Although it didn't make sense, his words inexplicably gave people a sense of calmness.
The huge body of the Sword Master looked extremely clumsy, but in fact it was just the opposite. Even if he was walking on a loose steel plate that was about to collapse, the huge steel giant could still pass silently. Facing the scene where people's hearts were floating, he didn't say anything else, but just used his firm actions to stabilize everyone's mentality. The slightly hoarse voice sounded in everyone's heart, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
"I'm the Swordmaster of the Glorious Regiment, Antark Duran. You can call me Champion Duran or Swordmaster, whatever you want. I was fortunate enough to participate in two consecutive Holy Light Crusades, and the scenes at that time were much bigger than they are now. It was a war that we cannot understand, with gods falling one after another, and the number of deaths was even greater than that of mortals. This is just a simple landing battle , so relax. This level of landing battle has happened thousands of times in my experience. Compared to those demonic monsters that make people feel uncomfortable, these monsters deployed by humans are more pleasing to the eye."
"Those battles that rely on luck and the gods to turn the tide are the most unfortunate, because your personal actions don't have any meaning at all. But it's different here. Each of us has our own responsibilities. If everything goes well, we can even save the battle."
The Sword Master advanced easily through the messy pipe, but the road ahead was soon blocked.
The collapse of the upper floor broke the energy pipeline on the thirteenth floor, and what lay before them was a huge ruin made of countless steel and gravel. However, before the researchers could suggest changing the route, the giant had already drawn out his electric sword, and cut through the exposed steel bars and some blocked structures easily, just like chopping firewood in the forest, and then he slowly stepped into the pipeline and continued to move forward.
Everyone was puzzled as to how this person could do this without any calculations, relying purely on his intuition. However, it was obvious that the Sword Master was a particular person, and he would never reveal a word of what he did not want to say. After confirming that the last researcher had come out, he nodded.
Then he continued to walk in the front, like a tour guide leading a tour group, strolling leisurely in the pipe.
"The emergency rescue device we are looking for is a sealed artifact."
He strode forward, pulled out a deformed monster from the shadows, and cut it into a ball of black carbon powder. After identifying the direction, the giant said as he walked:
"It is the same as the main research space facility, and is also a collection of an ancient god. But the ancient god did not understand the power of what he said he had, so he casually exchanged it with the Holy Light Sect. The crystal can spread his thoughts to anyone in any star region. Although it is limited to one person, it still has considerable strategic significance because it does not restrict the population that can access it."
"There is such a thing? How come I don't know about it?"
"You don't know everything, because we asked you to integrate and examine these things." After taking a deep look at the young researcher, the Sword Master turned around and chopped at those "So the relevant persons in charge must be screened. And his site selection and the surrounding protective materials must definitely be able to withstand such inferior attacks..."
After crossing the mountain of garbage piled up in the pipeline, the emergency communication facility in the Sword Master's memory was getting closer and closer. But what made everyone feel heavy in their hearts was that they saw many corpses and traces of monsters on the way.
There were even guard-like beings waiting behind the pipeline, who were then picked out and killed one by one.
Although they were all insignificant things, the signal contained in them was not very good. However, the crowd still did not give up. With the last glimmer of hope, they climbed over some mountains made of garbage, killed some guards silently, and looked at the countless monsters patrolling back and forth on the last pipeline branch line. Everyone fell into silence.
"It seems that the level of the people who betrayed the Free Alliance is not too low. It was indeed a mistake to let them have access to such a level of secrets."
Even the things we entrusted him with were known...
Looking at the monsters wandering at the end of the passage, the Sword Master frowned and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
If he simply killed these monsters, the Sword Master would not have any hesitation or mercy. But the problem was how much they knew about this treasure house. If he acted rashly, it would be no different from suicide. The Sword Master would not gamble his fate on any possibility.
But if we don't act, and let evil run rampant before our eyes, that's even more impossible. Who knows what kind of blasphemous rituals these monsters are using the information to perform? The betrayed Free Alliance is even more evil than the devil. At least the devil doesn't like evil things, but it's hard to say what those twisted people in the Free Alliance will do.
So after thinking for about a second, the Sword Master silently opened his rocket backpack and jumped directly into the enemy camp, causing a bloody storm.
Skilled swordsmanship, flexible body, and unparalleled strength, combined together, made him invincible. The Sword Saint rushed into the crowd and started a silent killing. Those so-called bloody butchers who were controlled by viruses and drugs didn't even have a chance to fight back. He seemed to have all-round vision, and he chopped off the heads of all the monsters one by one with solid skills, and cut their bodies into a bunch of wriggling fragments.
When everyone was killed and only broken limbs were left on the ground, the ground began to shake violently again. A huge head squeezed through the left side of the passage, and the huge head, which was dozens of times the size of an ordinary person, let out a sharp and piercing laugh like a baby.
"Hahaha! I said if there are two there must be a group. These ants are still thinking about something unrealistic... Wait, brother? Is that you?"
"……younger brother?"
Looking at the huge composite monster, Sword Saint Duran showed a shocked expression for the first time.
