Chapter 16: Strike of Flames

  "Hehehe, bet you didn't expect that, did I? I still had another trick up my sleeve. You wanted to kill me? You're still too green," the Governor laughed triumphantly. He stepped heavily on Kallen's right arm, grabbed the five-fingered steel claw on her hand, forcibly removed it, and threw it to the ground. Then he used the laser cannon on his right shoulder to fire laser beams at the steel claw on the ground.

  The needle-thin blue-white lasers hit the steel claw, leaving numerous holes in it. With a "boom," the five-fingered steel claw exploded under the attack of the laser beams, turning into metal fragments.

  "This way, even if she can stand up again, I won't have to fear her," the Governor thought. "Rat-tat-tat" gunfire came from a distance, and several bullets hit the Governor, making "clinking" sounds. The Governor turned to look and saw an intact armored vehicle driving toward him, with a machine gunner on the vehicle firing at him.

  "So those rebel scum have come? Fine, since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll send you on your way," the Governor thought, not taking the armored vehicle seriously at all. He directly endured the machine gun's attack and moved quickly toward the armored vehicle.

  "That black guy is coming over! What do we do now?" people on the armored vehicle shouted.

  "Don't panic. Let me handle him," Rulu said. He extended his body through the roof hatch and waved his hand. The ground in front of the Governor rapidly froze into ice. When the Governor stepped onto the ice, he immediately lost balance, fell backward, and crashed heavily to the ground, taking a big tumble.

  "Good, ram him now," Captain Guan ordered. The armored vehicle crashed into the fallen Governor with a "bang," pushing him aside, then stopped beside the fallen Kallen.

  "Kallen, how are you? Can you stand up?!" Captain Guan quickly got off the vehicle to check Kallen's condition.

  Kallen, supporting herself on the ground, tremblingly stood up. In a weak voice, she said: "It's... it's alright. I can still hold on. It's just that my weapon has been destroyed."

  Captain Guan's face changed: "This is bad. Without a weapon, how will you fight that black armored trooper?"

  Kallen sighed, saying somewhat dejectedly: "Although I don't want to say it, now we can only flee."

  "What did you say?!" At this moment, Rulu had come down from the vehicle. He shouted at Kallen and Captain Guan, "This is the best opportunity to kill this Governor, and you want to run away?!"

  Kallen retorted: "I don't want to run either, but without a weapon, I have no way to break through his armor. There's no chance of winning no matter how I fight."

  "You don't, but I do. Have you forgotten I'm a magic Ultra-capable?" Rulu said with full confidence.

  "Don't brag," Kallen said skeptically. "Even if you're a level-four magic Ultra-capable, you can't beat that guy."

  Rulu said: "I can't do it alone, but we have a chance if everyone cooperates. Besides, at this point, do you think you can still escape?"

  "Rulu is right," Captain Guan agreed with Rulu's words. "Our escape route has been blocked by Sanctuary. Now, apart from defeating Sanctuary's troops, we have no other way out. We can only trust Rulu."

  Hearing Captain Guan say this, Kallen had to compromise: "Alright then, I'll trust you this once. Rulu, what do you want to do?"

  Rulu said: "Bring out all those things we prepared earlier."

  Captain Guan called to those inside the vehicle: "Bring out everything."

  Several people came down from the vehicle, carrying two cylindrical large oil drums and opening their lids.

  Rulu waved his hand. The gasoline in the oil drums transformed into a water column, automatically flying out and hovering in mid-air, turning into a yellowish mist-like substance.

  Rulu said: "The bodies of us magic Ultra-capable individuals are far less robust than Refining body Ultra-capable individuals. While I'm casting spells, you must protect me."

  Captain Guan nodded and had the driver position the armored vehicle between Rulu and Sanctuary's troops, using the vehicle's body to shield Rulu.

  The Governor, seeing the rebels stopped in place, neither fleeing nor attacking, was quite puzzled. Although he was somewhat wary of the red armored trooper, he thought that since he had destroyed her weapon, he had nothing to fear. So he cautiously approached the rebels.

  "Is he coming?" Rulu noticed the black armored trooper approaching and waved his hand. The mist-like gasoline hovering in the air automatically flew up, transforming into a pale yellow snake that flew toward the Governor.

  With a "bang," the snake burst into flames during its flight, becoming a huge yellow-red tongue of fire. The fire tongue went straight for the Governor, wrapping around his body. Instantly, the entire body of the black armored trooper was engulfed in flames.

  "Playing with fire? Do you think this kind of trick works on me?" The Governor's relaxed, comfortable voice came from within the fierce flames. The black armored trooper neither dodged nor avoided, directly enduring the fire tongue's attack with his body. Pushing through the flames, he continued to approach the rebels, seemingly unharmed by the fire tongue.

  Rulu said: "Kallen, go block him. Don't let him get close to me, but don't let him get too far away either. Can you do that?"

  "If it's just keeping him occupied, I should be able to manage," Kallen said, charging directly toward the Governor.

  "You've come? Then I'll finish you first!" The cannon on the Governor's right shoulder aimed at Kallen, firing numerous laser beams.

  "My armor is already mostly damaged. I can't be hit directly by those lasers," Kallen thought, quickly changing her direction of advance. She moved rapidly along an arc, maintaining a certain distance from the Governor to prevent him from getting close.

  Most of the lasers fired by the Governor were dodged by Kallen. These lasers didn't have much power at long range. The few that hit Kallen were mostly blocked by her armor and didn't cause her much harm.
