Chapter 76: Above All Others (Rewritten)
"This is Svarog’s lair? I thought it’d be cold and lifeless, turns out it’s pretty busy!"
March’s words were heard as they stood in the middle of the Robot Settlement — a place in which vagrants can seek refuge. The people who lived here are those who have lost their homes to the Fragmentum or other reasons.
They trudged through the snow, moving with less difficulty than the vagrants. As they had superhuman physical capabilities, they were only slightly bothered by the restriction to their footing. The six of them moved at an adequate speed, directing themselves to the mansion that stood in the midst of the Robot Settlement.
Once they stood before the massive gate, they simply waited there for a few minutes...
...It never opened.
Sunny blinked before realizing something. He stepped forward, knocked on the gate, then stepped back. They waited a few more minutes...
Tilting his head at a lack of response, he wondered if nobody was home. He turned to the others, with Dan Heng in particular sending all of them a strange look.
"Any ideas?"
Immediately, March stepped forward with an air of confidence. She rolled up her sleeves, rubbing her hands to warm them up. She placed them on the gate, grunting as she attempted to open it up.
...It didn’t budge. However, March didn’t seem to be discouraged.
"Heh, I still have one more trick up my sleeve! Watch this!"
