Immediately after being blown away by the sudden appearance of the tentacles, Leonard Churchill already estimated the monster’s attack speed.
It wasn’t too exaggerated, at least it was much slower than the Mechanical Ape.
His current werewolf form should be able to handle it.
But movement in an armor suit is inconvenient, he would undoubtedly be an easy target.
So he decided to remove his Frost Knight Armor without hesitation, the
moment the assault began.
With more and more tentacles protruding from the broken wall, there was no time for hesitation.
Leonard made a decision.
In mid-air, he pushed against the air with his foot to skillfully dodge several
black tentacles that whipped towards him.
Then, he dove headfirst into the large hole in the wall.
If he wanted a breakthrough, he had to confirm the actual situation of this
final boss.
The space behind the Safe House was like a well.
After plunging into it, Leonard fell for a dozen meters along the tentacles before realizing that this was also a lab.
In the middle, supported by a myriad of sophisticated instruments, there was a gigantic mechanical heart, several meters in diameter, connected by various tubes.
At this moment, the mechanical heart was like a jellyfish, with tentacles of varying lengths growing all over it.
As soon as Leonard arrived, the tentacles acted like leeches smelling blood and immediately reached out for him.
The cluster of tentacles was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Wearing a clown mask, with his heightened senses, Leonard found the details
of this final boss.
Titan Mechanical Worm (Out of Control)
Description: Second Tier A-rank Catastrophe; its main body is the heart of the ancient deity ‘Titan’ that has been mechanically transformed, and it has developed unknown mutations due to the transformation of dark energy; its energy is endless, its tentacles have almost infinite regenerative ability; the target is in an uncontrolled state, corrosion, entanglement, and dark pollution attacks will be launched indiscriminately on targets within range…
upon reading this, Leonard suddenly realized: “So the Undying Feature of the monsters in the entire lab was coming from here…
Seeing this mechanical heart, he also understood the lab’s ultimate research project, the Titan Mechanical Heart.
Using the heart of an Extraordinary Being to create an energy core – what an inventive idea.
This is completely in a different dimension on both the technology level and Extraordinary traits level, compared to the Federation’s current steam boilers which are only used for boiling water.
If this technology could be reproduced, it would have a milestone significance for the current field of machinery.
However, now is not the time to think about anything else.
Seeing the thick layer of Alloy Armor on the surface of the heart, Leonard knew this thing was not easy to break.
However, the correct strategy to kill the monster reflexively came to his mind.
It was the Magic Energy Mechanical Thermal Melting Knife!
Leonard previously forbade Seven Brown from using the Hot Melt Knife based on a guess.
If he encountered a Mechanical Gorilla that was invincible against a A-rank Plot Item in the scenario, would there be a more troublesome mechanically transformed monster triggered by a hidden storyline later?
just like when faced with monsters that were far beyond the limits of the current Space in the Alternate Dimension 407, they had to be killed through the plot.
That’s to kill monsters by using discovered Plot Items.
Not by Strong Kill.
Such Spaces put more of a test on the adventurer’s wisdom, experience and decision-making ability.
That Hot Melt Knife is a Plot Item and its charge could only last about ten minutes.
Leonard then felt that this time limit was very subtle.
That is to say, if the knife is used to kill the Mechanical Gorilla, it won’t be usable later.
This tests the adventurer’s ability to make decisions and judgment.
Intuition told Leonard to keep it for a larger purpose.
So he used his life to hold back the Mechanical Gorilla before.
Now, it seems like he made the right bet.
Of course, without the strength to hold back the Gorilla, he would not have been able to trigger such hidden storyline.
At the moment when an idea flashed in Leonard’s mind, the nearest tentacles had already attacked him like a snake chasing its prey.
Leonard’s eyes flashed with alertness. While retreating swiftly, he made a swipe with his werewolf claw in one hand and a surgical knife in the other.
The werewolf claw tore five wounds on the tentacle as thick as an elephant’s leg, while the surgical knife easily severed another tentacle.
“The tentacles, condensed with energy, the defense is not too outrageous…” Leonard, catching sight of the two wounds on the tentacle, immediately smiled with a sense of vindication at the corner of his mouth.
Although the wound was healed as soon as it was torn open, Leonard saw the Extraordinary Traits leaking out from the wound in that instant and laughed.
This was the same as the previous monsters, these Extraordinary Traits could also be swallowed!
This means, Leonard’s Feast can still prevent the tentacles from healing. Just from the few moments that Leonard had observed after descending, countless tentacles, thousands, tens of thousands, were sprouting from the Mechanical Heart.
The entire space was filled with disorderly spread bulging tentacles in just a blink of an eye.
Since the goal was achieved, there was no need to stay any longer.
Seeing the situation, Leonard pushed off the ground with his legs, and leaped upwards.
He skillfully maneuvered through the gaps of the tentacles, and returned to the Safe House.
At this moment, in the Safe House, Seven Brown has also gained his bearings after the shockwaves, and was slashing at the tentacles with the sharp cutter on his mech suit.
Of the other six people in the house, four had woken up.
The other two were still lying on the ground after being knocked out by the explosion.
The remaining four were desperately slashing at the tentacles.
But the more they sliced, the more desperate they became.
No matter whether the tentacles were cut off or broken open, they were able to recover to their original state in almost an instant..
