Chapter 23 The Hunting Spider (6)
The Hunting Spider (6)
Success rate: 4.7%.
That was the probability that the Jagd Spinne could defeat the special entity known as Leon.
With its primary mobility system—its legs—and its wire cutters lost, the combat machine's odds of victory were meager at best. In fact, even that percentage included the scenario where it self-destructed due to a battery overload.
However, there was one last trump card that could raise its success rate to 93%.
In its final, most desperate moment—when ammunition production and maintenance were no longer possible—the Jagd Spinne had buried approximately two tons of explosives for one purpose:
To lure in as many hostile entities as possible and detonate them all at once, burying itself along with them.
Although the final target of its self-destruction turned out to be a single threat entity rather than multiple, the Jagd Spinne did not hesitate to stake everything to carry out its last order.
—KWA-KWA-KWA-KWA-BOOM!!
A deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire city. The simultaneous detonation of nearly two tons of explosives instantly consumed all oxygen within the buildings.
Reinforced structures shattered, the blast pressure violently displaced the air, and a massive shockwave erupted outward.
