Chapter 212 Superior's Order Is Absolute
Truthfully, Yuriel and Zick were both very beutiful, they could make many fall for them with no problem. Appearance played a large role in psychology in more than one way, beutiful people are of course looked at with jealousy and admiration.
While the ugly or unattractive make others autonomously label them as suspicious or disdainful.
Leaving a good impression without even moving a finger. That was the first impression Yeolen got too, but it was destroyed as she saw Zick\'s attitude and conduct.
The many people who watched this scene through the online stream website exclaimed at Zick\'s appearance too.
There were many people watching this fight being broadcasted, as it was very rare for Xespic to be used against humans or citizens.
Even now, before the seven Xespic which had different models and weapons, like cannons, swords, guns, or spears — Zick stood with an indifferent look. He signaled them to come at him.
The anger that the pilots of Archenst were stressing flared out this instant, distorting their faces.
However, none of them moved recklessly, they had experienced many battles on the frontline, along with companies at the same level as them.
They learned to never let emotions affect their decision. Even the smallest mistake might cause the death of their comrades.
This was the main reason they could maintain the title of strongest.
Though they might be known as the strongest, it did not mean they did not have competitors.
Creating a competitive environment was a must in society or many cases of retardation might occur everywhere.
Without any form of motivation or more specifically, bait — it was not possible to keep society running.
Yeolen, who had also become serious, did not hesitate and ordered: "Use the electrocuters to paralyze him."
Now that the order was already placed in place, there was no time for hesitation.
...
Celwent sitting on the black cushion chair looked at the fight unfold too.
Looking at Zick\'s attitude, thousands of speculation formed in his head: \'Is this an ambush? No, that is impossible in this situation.\'
\'Are there some helpers hidden nearby to help them? That might be more possible.\' After worrying for a while, Celwent began relaxing.
No matter what kind of Xespic might appear, they will not be a match for the Archenst.
Shortly, the Xespic with a cannon on its shoulder began moving.
This Xespic had a unique shape compared to others, it was slim. Focusing on the movement and dodging more than close-range battles.
With dozens of light waves swirling around the cannon, it shot a spherical-shaped object at Zick with an inaudible noise.
The area got covered in dazzling white lightning at once, but suddenly, the lightning vanished in a flash.
Celwent who was looking on with confidence, inclined forward with his mouth agape.
\'What am I seeing...?\'
What was before Celwent was the sight of Zick holding a blue sphere with oven-like shapes around it. With a black glow, the electrocuter vanished in thin air.
At once, a huge uproar occurred in the media.
Magic existed in this world too, but even then such a thing never happened ever before.
A human was able to stop an attack launched by the best cannon in the republic. The fact that a human eye could follow the projectile of an object moving at such speed, made many think this video was fake.
After all, many were knowledgeable about the cannon Xespic, it was very famous. This cannon was no different than a rail gun, using electromagnets strengthened by mana.
Not only that, he was unharmed, this just went past extraordinary feats and entered the stage of nonsense.
But at the same time, many were confused as there was no movement of the Glazier Rex, there was no way they would have stayed quiet if this broadcasted video was fake.
Celwent, who got a hold of himself, hurriedly connected to Yeolen: "He is most likely a hybrid, there is no need to capture him, just kill him and bring the other two."
He refused to believe that Zick was a dragon!
With a kill order, the Archenst did not waste a second and readied their main weapons.
There was an ironclad rule that had to be followed, in the military or any army organization — the Superior\'s order is absolute!
No objection!
And no hesitation!
Only freshmen would bother thinking over the orders. Not following the given orders would lead to the fall of faith, and in other words, they would lose their usability.
As the proverb goes — a good soldier is a silent and obedient one.
The military does not need a rebellious soldier. If the orders lead to failure, then the superior would be the one to be held into account too.
Yeolen tightened the headset and hand gloves, through which Xespic is controlled.
Controlling the Xespic directly from the brainwaves was possible, but it put a lot of stress on the brain. Hence, controlling it directly like this was the best option.
All the useless thoughts cleared out from Yeolen\'s head, she only had one mission in her head. Kill Zick and capture the other two.
Many unexpected things happened, and she was even reprimanded. Mostly it was caused by the ruckus that Zick caused, if not for that this matter would have not gotten out of hand.
Nothing in this world could be predicted perfectly, the same applied to the being proclaimed as gods.
Yeolen personally moved Xespic, which held a lance and had the robust build of a close-range fighter.
Zick who was staring blankly did not move an inch seeing the Xespic moving at him. He was like a blind person, who appeared to not even be aware of the danger that was going to befall him.
As Yeolen\'s Xespic moved forward, thrusters materialized behind it, propelling it forward at terrifying speed.
To normal eyes, it was like the Xespic suddenly vanished.
Yeolen aimed at Zick\'s head, resolutely wanting to kill him. She still had that weird fear creeping into her heart, but it did not matter anymore.
Zick, to him, it looked no different than before: \'Destroying all of this robot, Xespic, or whatever might lead to the rise to displeasure, So I will have to show them the difference in strength in this one clash.\' he began lifting his right hand.
Yeolen was able to look at Zick\'s actions, and her eyesight was enhanced, as she was using the special mechanical sensory organ in the Xespic. To have perfect control at such speed, showed her hard work.
Yeolen\'s eyes widened, seeing Zick positioned his palm right at the place where her lance aimed. The fact that he could still react to her speed was already beyond her expectations.
\'Hmph, he is overestimating his endurance as a hybrid.\' Yeolen did not even imagine Zick having a chance of stopping her attack.
Instantly, the lance entered Zick\'s hand, causing a huge shockwave to spread to the surrounding area. The glasses broke and dozens of cracks appeared on the road.
As the dust settled, another otherworldly sight was presented. Yeolen\'s Xespic was trying to pull its lance out but it didn\'t even budge in Zick\'s firm grasp.
"Tch!" Yeolen used her other hand to punch at Zick when suddenly he began putting strength on his grasp.
With a metallic sound, The lance Xespic was slammed onto the ground on the side.
Understanding what happened, Yeolen clenched her teeth: "Are you kidding me...? My Xespic is heavier than the others and he lifted it so easily!"
Fear rose within Yeolen, but this time it made her move in a rushed manner. She wanted to extinguish this fear by killing Zick!
At once, the lance Xespic got up and another pair of thrusters appeared behind it. Its lance extended and shone in a purple hue, using the full power of Xespic might destroy the surrounding, but in her eyes, Zick was more important.
Immediately, The lance Xespic moved towards Zick breaking sound barriers instantly, creating sonic booms.
But Yeolen\'s eyes widened at the next sight, Zick suddenly vanished and the sensory device of the Xespic couldn\'t even keep up with him.
Appearing above Yeolen, Zick delivered a kick directly to its head.
BOOM!
The lance Xespic\'s head was blown away, making it immobile. It was pushed into the ground by the force, destroying many of its parts.
Silence descended on the world, it was like everything was frozen in place.
"Miss Yeolen was....."
"Defeated? And so easily...?"
"That\'s not the point! How can a human be able to do such a feat?!"
"....He is not human...Maybe a hybrid...?"
A commotion spread all over the Republic.
Then, they suddenly saw Zick moving up to the ground slowly, they weren\'t even surprised anymore seeing a human fly with no devices.
Zick\'s voice which was amplified reached everyone: "You dare to hide my daughter, which is already an unforgivable act. And now, you even try to attack me. Unforgivable, unforgivable!"
Zick\'s voice began turning into growling as he continued speaking. The dragon\'s fears once again spread to the surrounding area and this time it covered more than a kilometer of area.
In mid-air, Zick began transforming into a dragon.
At once an apocalypse-like atmosphere covered the area, with hundreds of black spears forming in the sky.
"Damn it!"
Celwent, who was watching till now, could not help but cuss at his past decision.
It was a real dragon! And not only that, it seems extremely angry and ready to destroy the whole republic!
The worst part was that it was not even possible to defeat it. There was no need to say anything, if Zick exhibited strength that was unrivaled in human form, what is there that he can\'t do in his dragon form?
\'War does not matter anymore. If I don\'t do anything now, The whole republic will be wiped out of the world!\' Celwent felt like the world was turning round and round as he thought nonstop in an extremely quick manner.
