Chapter 187: 15-year-old Inglis and the Two Leading Actresses (40)
「Wh-, what the hell is that?! His body is like the insides of a Flygear!」
That explained why he didn’t feel pain. He had no flesh nor blood. Inglis also detected them because she said something about their odd flow of mana. That was obviously no longer the natural human body.
Was that also a product of the Highland’s technology? It was the first time Rafinha saw something like it. It was also apparent that the man had enough physical prowess to strike her down with his blade even without an Artifact. His very body itself had been replaced by a machine, so his physical prowess was beyond that of a normal human.
That said, whilst she believed that having the power of Artifacts was appreciative, Rafinha found herself hard to favor the thought of having to twist herself into a cold machine just to gain strength.
Did he perhaps have something that obliged him to gain power, even if that meant he had to become what he was now? Special Envoy Theodore would never use this kind of technology and would never let anyone do it either. Just who did something so cruel!
「Indeed. This is the power that Archlord Abel had bestowed to us!」
It was Diego who spoke up, he was looking over the battle from a little distance away. His tone was calm, cold, and matter-of-factly.
「ABEL?! That trash-natured brat!」
Of all Highlanders that Rafinha had met, this boy had the worst personality, if not the second-worst. It was all too possible for this one Highlander to do something like that. He couldn’t care less about what happened to the people of Midland.
