Curse The Mainframe - Chapter 401

Sure enough, within five minutes, there were already people pouring into the entrances from aboveground as well as those that were connected to the bases.

They didn’t stop them from entering, and it was only when the number of people flooding into the place stagnated that they blocked off the entrances, not allowing them to exit or enter.

The Spectres were all having the time of their lives, both indulging in their bloodl.u.s.t and sating it at the same time. It scratched an itch that had been bubbling in them the entire time. The itch that had started from the time that Boss said they were going to take down the company.

Illyuken raised a brow when he saw how happily these humans were battling.

As far as he knew, humans usually detested bloodshed and were rather squeamish about it. However, these bunch of humans were…

Bluntly put, more like beasts than they were humans. In that they were the minority of the humans that he’d seen in his long life.

Had the humans already progressed to such a stage while he was sealed away? Were these sorts of humans no longer oppressed and feared? How curious.

Illyuken continued to observe while Harou threw himself into battle against the humans with glee and savage happiness.

Now that he’d seen blood, his fur looked a lot shinier, and he actually had muscles now. He was a far cry from what Hayden and the rest had seen down underground.

Blood and gore splattered everywhere, but it only served to make both sides exude more bloodl.u.s.t and battle cries. By now, it was obvious that there was something wrong, but the people from the company didn’t even bother to try and flee. Instead, they threw their everything into the battle with the Spectres, which wasn’t logical.

The Spectres were laughing gleefully as they battled against the people from the company.

Even though they were sustaining injuries, they were mostly minor injuries, and the adrenaline that pumped through their blood caused them to be more energetic than ever.

The only person who wasn’t in the battle was Illyuken, who was waiting for stronger prey to come over.

As soon as one of those Meisters came over, he decimated them casually before they even had a chance to make much of a move.

He was waiting for the appearance of a Grand Meister that would tip the scales of the battle.

Suddenly, Illyuken c.o.c.ked his head, as if he was thinking about something.

Then, he was immediately out of the headquarters, heading aboveground.

There was a Grand Meister coming!

Illyuken’s blood was boiling, and his eyes became red. Finally.

Finally, he was able to vent his frustration.

He didn’t know if the people that had sealed him down there for so long were still alive, but it didn’t matter.

These people were the ones who would carry on the ‘flame’ so to speak.

He would show them no mercy.

Alec left the Spectres to deal with the small fry.

This was a rare chance for him to see a Grand Meister fight.

Eyes gleaming, he headed upwards, and he was met with Illyuken’s giant form soaring upwards.

Illyuken was a beautiful onyx dragon. His scales shone in the sky, reflecting the light. In his true form, he was even more beautiful than he was in his human form. His form could cause one to feel a sense of reverence once they glanced at it.

From its powerful figure to the beauty of his onyx scales, he could not be disregarded.

The giant form of a dragon clashed against the Grand Meister that had come at last.

The two of them were evenly matched in terms of power, but Illyuken won in terms of experience.

Just the shockwaves around caused buildings to collapse, and the two were obviously holding back since they didn’t want to demolish the city.

They were moving so fast that it was hard to catch their movements in its entirety.

Most times, a move was blocked before it could be fully formed.

Illyuken’s wings snapped open to their full wingspan, covering the city with his shadow. He was much larger than the Grand Meister that had come, but he was not losing out in terms of agility or speed.

With a howl, most of the buildings that didn’t have firm foundations directly collapsed, but with a flap of his wings, most of the people were safe from harm.

The other Grand Meister had no such compunctions.

Alec narrowed his eyes. When the Grand Meister swooped down, avoiding Illyuken’s attack, he suddenly realized that that person was ‘Inspector Fade’ that had escaped from him before. He placed a finger on the array, narrowing his eyes.

He was shocked in his heart. The person that he’d been planning on kidnapping in order to extract information from was actually a Grand Meister. After she controlled the body of that woman, none of her power had shown.

As the two Grand Meisters had a battle in the sky, Alec had a sudden thought. Could it be that ‘Inspector Fade’ was actually the strongest person in the company?

It would explain why their security had become so much tighter, as well as why they had pushed forward several of their projects at once.

Alec frowned. Right now, he was able to face off against a Meister, but not a Grand Meister.

As much as he wanted to take her out himself, he knew that he couldn’t do it at this moment.

He never expected that they would really have a Grand Meister in the company. After all, what kind of insanity was it for someone to be able to successfully breakthrough into that rank in their lifetime?

Compared to magical beasts, a human’s lifespan was comparatively short. In general, humans were considered weak. They needed to team up if they wanted to win in a fight against a magical beast or creature of the same rank.

At this moment, Illyuken breathed out dragon fire, which Fade hastily dodged. Illyuken then swooped through his own fire, taking no damage as his jaws snapped at the woman’s small figure.

Fade kicked back, but she couldn’t completely dodge it. She was mostly clear, but her hand had been caught in Illyuken’s mouth.

Exerting more strength, the dragon cleanly bit through the woman’s arm, and half of her forearm disappeared immediately. He even swallowed it down together with one of the blades that she’d been using.

Fade didn’t let out a sound of pain, but her teeth were grit tightly, and her eyes were red. She snarled as Illyuken devoured her arm with a grin on his face. The dragon’s eyes exuded viciousness and disdain.

Next to Alec, who felt like he had comprehended something, Rosabel made a sound of awe.

Alec was lost in his comprehension as he pushed his eyes to the limit as he stared at the two of them fighting viciously. No blood was spared, and both magical beast and human suffered from moderate injuries.

Yet, the most severe injury belonged to Fade as her right arm was gone. She was only left with her arm from the elbow upwards.

It caused a sharp decrease in her offensive abilities as she lost one arm. As a dual wielder, her combat ability decreased more than half.

Alec quickly sat down and stared at them for a while longer before he closed his eyes. There was a sudden surge in comprehension when he saw the two fighting. Fighting a Meister properly earlier had given him some ideas, but he still didn’t know how to breakthrough.

On the other hand, when he saw the two up there fighting, he felt like he’d been hit upside the head.

He wasn’t the only one who had some gains.

Rosabel and the other Spectres who had come up to watch the show after dealing with the additional people who came to the headquarter’s ‘defence’ were also gaining a lot from watching Illyuken and Fade fight.

Alec closed his eyes, breathing heavily. The bonds linked to his body shook, and he fell into a vulnerable state.

Someone suddenly landed next to Alec quietly.

It was Blanche. She stared quietly at the two in the air fighting.

Compared to her fight with the Rothschild branch family member, the fight between the two were on a whole different scale.

She’d suddenly felt the array that Alec passed to her activate. It had alarmed her when she realized that it was in the same place that Alec had told her to come to.

Who knew that she would find her little brother here on the ground instead of fighting against that person?

More importantly, she had been ready for a bloody battle, but someone had already beat her to it.

She couldn’t even intrude in the battle with her skills. It frustrated her immensely, and her eyes were burning.

She wanted to become a Grand Meister.

There were a bunch of people who were quietly comprehending as blood and flesh rained down from the skies above.
