Chapter 77: Rina Cortez (7)
The battle was over.
The underground chamber was now filled with a thick haze of dust and acrid smoke.
Debris large and small lay scattered across the floor, bearing silent testament to the ferocity of the clash.
Hector looked down at what remained of his left hand—melted by the gray-white flame.
Sparks flickered weakly from the misshapen hunk of metal, its structure too warped to even resemble a hand.
With a mechanical hiss, he furrowed his brow and detached the ruined arm.
The heavy steel limb hit the ground with a dull, resounding thud.
His crimson mechanical eyes slowly turned toward what was left of Rina Cortez.
Once the head of Special Projects at Hexa Core Armory, she was now just a mangled, barely recognizable husk.
Her upper and lower halves were completely severed, and even the flesh that remained had been eaten away, as if gnawed by worms—corroded beyond recognition.
It was hard to believe that only recently, this woman had been fighting for dominance over Hexa Core Armory, locked in brutal conflict with him—no, with the entire Ludwig faction.
If this changes even a little of the course of Hexa Core Armory’s civil war, then good.
