Chapter 177: Finding the others
Damon immediately put away all thoughts of the crazy woman as he knew that he was dealing with an enemy way beyond his caliber. This metallic fortress was not simple at all, and the person controlling it was even more so.
But he had to go back. He couldn’t let Mark and Kate be trapped in the damn thing for weeks and months until he was strong enough to take them out. A prison like that would break minds. He did not want them to suffer through a horror like that.
Besides, he had a plan now. The damn thing’s weakness was now very clear.
Damon quickly dashed through the chewed-up ends of the long corridor and found the intact part that led to the rest of the metallic fortress. Behind him, the hole was getting rapidly patched back up. He could sense the intense amount of mana that was being consumed in the process.
Damon doubled his speed. While the thing was occupied with repairing itself, he needed to focus on getting to his friends. Coincidentally, there were no more exits along the way. No more doors that led to laboratories.
Damon frowned but continued going. Soon, he noticed something strange. There were signs of disturbances all along the corridor as if someone had recently fought here. The metallic fortress hadn’t gotten around to repairing the small dents here and there.
This told him something important. Whoever was doing this had only a limited amount of energy at their disposal. Otherwise, they would have simply fixed everything in a single go. This was another weakness he could exploit.
Behind him, Aurora’s voice loudly rang. "Blood God, they are coming!"
Damon turned around to see something completely ridiculous and insane. Behind him, hordes and hordes of purple self-detonating mechs were silently marching forward. It looked like the metallic fortress was focusing on not one thing but two things after all. Him and the giant gaping hole!
