Liberators

Chapter 21 - Additional Help

Floor B19

Main Meeting Room

"Axel, Eva. I've decided to give you guys a hand to handle the Lizardmen's lair." Said the Oracle while sitting behind her desk.

Hearing the Oracle's words, Axel and Eva seemed quite happy. After all it was almost impossible to fight against thousands of Lizardmen in such a vast room just the two of them.

"Thank God. So, who's gonna help?" Axel asked with a pretty happy feeling.

"A-level Liberators are just like Eva, James. He's a magic-type Liberator like you." Obviously Oracle.

Axel was silent. Waiting for the next word from the Oracle.

But Oracle has returned to work and is no longer speaking. On the other hand, Eva started to pull Axel's right arm to leave this meeting room immediately.

"Tu-wait first! Just one guy?" Axel asked while pulling his arm.

The Oracle raised her head, staring intently at Axel's eyes directly without blinking.

"You think how many Liberators are in this fort? Of the 15, only 10 could leave the fort.3 out of the 15 Liberators were not combat types.

Then 2 more duty to guard the fort if there is a surprise attack aimed at this fort. If you understand, leave immediately. James has been waiting for you on the 1st floor of headquarters." Reply Oracle at length.

Axel did not think that the so-called aid was only 1 person.

He then remembered the many other soldiers in black uniforms in this military headquarters.

But before Axel could ask, the Oracle seemed to be able to read his mind. Or rather can guess what the next Axel will ask based on the look of his face.

"And also the black uniform army will not be able to participate in this extermination operation. Their machine gun weapons were not powerful enough to kill D-level monsters like the Lizardmen and Orcs.

In short, carrying them will only be a burden to you. So rejected." Oracle is now refocusing on its work on the computer.

'Then what's the point of them?'

Axel was about to ask that question. But he immediately held her down.

Now he really understands the importance of the resources of the Liberator special division. And the reason why they all tricked him into joining.

Yes, Axel had figured out the answer to the question himself.

That is, the armies of black uniforms are not lucky enough to be blessed with the powerful evolution of the Flux.

"Sorry." Axel said briefly as he immediately turned his body. Intend to leave this meeting room without waiting for Eva.

Eva appears to bow her head slightly to the Oracle before going after Axel's footsteps.

......***......

"5 People who should always be in the fort.... You know who they are?" Axel asked Eva in the elevator.

"Leona and Frans are medical Liberators. As long as it's in both of them, you won't lose your life even if your heart stops." Eva clearly looked at the various floor buttons in the elevator.

Regarding those two people, Axel had indeed expected it.

Leona and Frans. They were both the ones responsible for performing that insane operation and strengthening their patients with additional Flux energy.

So naturally they were unable to fight. No, it would rather be much worse to lose them both compared to losing a fighter-type Liberator.

"The one who can't fight is Anna. He was the first man without talent to present himself as a test subject for Frans and Leona. The result is certainly in accordance with the prediction." Eva Clear.

"As predicted?" Axel asked curiously.

Eva seemed a little hesitant to say it clearly. But after being silent for a few seconds, Eva finally said it.

"Fixed. The rating is F for now. It's still much weaker than you were before you received the surgery.

Aah, but just calm down. Anna had no problem with it at all and now she was on patrol inside the city. Despite being F rank, he was still much stronger than the other black uniformed soldiers." Eva Clear.

Axel didn't know what to say.

But he also lost much of his life as a result of the operation.

"Then two more?" Axel asked trying to shift the topic of conversation that was quite grim.

"You've met him. He's named Trevos, the communications floor keeper at B7." Eva said with a big smile.

"Huh? That sleepy guy?" Axel asked in surprise.

"That's how. But he's strong enough, you know? B rating with physical type!" Reply Eva remained with a wide smile on her face.

If thought back, humans who evolved in the physical type had much greater power than the magic type.

That's what Axel had in mind.

After all, Eva who was ranked A according to Axel was much stronger than herself. Which is labeled S.

'Maybe this is the main differentiator between magic and physical types?' Axel asked in his heart.

'Ding!'

The door of the elevator opened.

The two of them walked out on the first floor, looking for the man named James who was supposed to be cooperating with the two of them specifically for today.

Surely, they were simply looking for the man in the gray uniform.

After observing around for a while, Axel saw the figure of a man in a gray uniform who was leaning against a wall near the exit of this military headquarters.

The man placed his left hand inside his pants pocket. His right hand was holding a cigarette in front of his lips.

Axel and Eva immediately walked towards the man.

"James?" Axel asked briefly.

The man had quite long black hair with slightly dark skin. The weapon on his back....

'There's no weapons?' Axel thought in his heart.

"So you're the new S-rank kid? Introduce, I'm James." Said the man while exhaling white cigarette smoke.

"Aah, yeah. Nice to meet you." Reply Axel while extending his right hand.

James bit his cigarette before shaking Axel's hand.

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to the figure of Eva who had been standing next to Axel.

"Yoo, Eva. Long time no see you. I thought you were dead." James said as he patted the silver-haired woman's shoulder.

"You yourself, sure you haven't burned anyone else?" Reply to Eva as well while hitting James slowly.

'Bruck!'

"Kugh! Damn woman, you know it hurt, right?" James replied with a light laugh.

Axel who saw the familiarity of the two gave a little space for them.

'Burn people? Does he have a fire-type element or something?' Axel thought in his heart as he listened to the conversation of the two of them.

But, Axel just remembered one more thing.

He forgot to ask who was the one who was in charge of guarding this fortress. Although, Axel already had a shadow over who that person was.

'Is it an Oracle? Well, considering he never got out of this castle maybe it was him.'

After answering his own question, Axel started walking on the back.

Preparing himself to return to the underground sewer, precisely in the garbage shelter.

A very large area underground, which is now a nest of the monster itself.
