Chapter 1393 Another Suicidal Bomber Attack
"Meera? What the..."
Kev"s voice trailed off, astonishment evident in his expression.
Meera"s appearance in this situation was an unimaginable event for him. And yet, hope flickered in his heart, believing for a moment that fate had brought her back to him in his hour of need.
Meera"s disappearance had been a perplexing enigma, leaving behind a veil of controversy and speculation. Her formidable skills and mysterious absence fueled rumors that swirled throughout the ranks. However, unbeknownst to everyone, the truth behind her vanis.h.i.+ng act was far more complex.
In reality, Eren had converted Meera Medinah into the Living Undead after defeating her. He cleverly made use of her to cover his tracks at the time– orchestrating the deaths of the Blood Punisher Force members and other enemies who posed a threat to him. Cunningly, he had s.h.i.+fted the blame onto Meera, making her appear responsible for his kills. As a result, Edinburgh had placed a bounty on her head, which was active even at this point.
However, Kev didn"t believe anything that Meera was accused of. He always believed that she had been set up by someone, possibly Layos" forces to cover their tracks. After all, it had been made apparent 9 years ago that Layos had managed to infiltrate on a deeper level within Edinburgh to shake its foundation.
Amidst the chaos of the looming monster siege, Kev found himself reunited with the woman whose fate had been altered by Eren"s machinations. Despite the mult.i.tude of questions swirling in his mind, Kev knew that now was not the time for answers. Survival took precedence over curiosity.
Kev indeed found Meera"s unhindered access to them to be a bit suspicious. However, he quickly got rid of that suspicion after thinking that the monsters had planned to get rid of all of the humans in one go by allowing them to regroup at a particular place. At least that"s what Kev would have done if he was in Kaal"s shoes.
Desperation gnawed at Kev"s judgment, compelling him to devise a plan to escape the dire situation with Meera by his side. The battlefield was a cauldron of danger, and Kev understood that every moment mattered. There was no room for hesitation or distraction. He had to focus on the immediate task at hand – surviving the monster siege and finding a way to outmaneuver both the pursuing enemy and the malevolent forces that would soon be here.
Sacrificing a few of his subordinates seemed a small price to pay for securing a powerful ally in the form of Meera. However, little did he know that the woman approaching him wasn"t the same Meera he once knew. She had been transformed into a Living Undead.
Captain Kev"s team members were hesitant and apprehensive as an unknown figure approached them. The atmosphere crackled with tension, and their guard was up. Sensing their unease, Kev rea.s.sured them, declaring the newcomer as an ally – a former member of the Blood Punisher Force named Meera.
In a flash, Meera swiftly closed the distance and hugged Kev, surprising him with her sudden appearance. However, before he could inquire further, an ominous aura emanated from Meera, setting off warning signals in Kev"s mind. Something was amiss.
Realization dawned on Kev as he noticed the absence of a heartbeat in Meera. His fears were confirmed – she was no longer among the living. The truth was unveiled too late, for Meera was no ordinary ent.i.ty. She had been turned into a vessel of destruction, her body filled with RDX – a deadly explosive concoction.
Swoosh. Zoom. Boom.
A split second later, the RDX inside Meera detonated, unleas.h.i.+ng a crimson torrent of flames and potent fire mana. Kev and his team members were caught in the blast, unable to react in time. However, the explosion seemed contained within a mysterious, ethereal barrier that had materialized just before the detonation.
This was no ordinary RDX potion bomb. It was the culmination of Eren"s relentless experiments over the past decade. Eren had mastered its creation, optimizing it for maximum efficiency. This potent potion bomb allowed him to control the blast radius, ensuring his own safety and that of his allies.I think you should take a look at
As the dust settled, Eren revealed himself, appearing alongside Kaal, the monster leader. He stood in his adventure gear. The true lord of monsters had gathered his subjects here, commanding their loyalty without the need for the Echidna"s Authority artifact.
"My liege!"
Kaal respectfully bowed before Eren, acknowledging his presence and his approval of the successful detonation. Eren exuded an air of command, effortlessly bending the monsters to his will. Their devotion to him knew no bounds, willing to lay down their lives for their liege.
????????.???
"You did good, Kaal."
With the blast subsiding, Eren addressed Kaal with nonchalance, praising his accomplishments in the orchestrated attack. The stage was set, and the balance of power tilted in Eren"s favor. As he surveyed the aftermath of the explosion, he knew that his schemes were falling perfectly into place.
Kaal couldn"t contain his delight upon receiving praise from Eren. As he prepared to move closer to the blast site to confirm Kev"s demise, Eren"s stern gaze stopped him in his tracks. "Don"t approach recklessly. You might get your hands burnt," Eren warned, his eyes fixed on the swirling smoke and dust at the site of the explosion.
"Aaaaargh!"
Suddenly, a cry of pain and agony rang out from the aftermath of the blast. It seemed that Kev"s survival had surprised Kaal, who had underestimated the Armored Knight"s abilities as well as the spiritual artifact he had worn as armor.
"Why did you think I chose to use Meera as a suicide bomber against Kev?" Eren asked nonchalantly. "There"s a reason he"s known as the Armored Knight, you know."
Taking out his Sativa Stick, Eren lit it up with a flying ember and took a leisurely drag. As the dust began to settle, he seemed to have predicted Kev"s resilience all along.
With a calm but calculating demeanor, Eren looked toward the 9 o"clock direction and addressed a certain someone.
"This is your chance to get rid of the Armored Knight with your own hands, Fiona. Seize it before I ask someone else," he suggested with a smile.
Meanwhile, Kev"s fears materialized as the enemy reinforcements he dreaded arrived – half-bloods from House Fenris, led by Fiona Fenris. Their appearance marked Fiona"s thirst for vengeance, fueling the tension on the battlefield.
