Liberators

Chapter 37 - After the Landing

With the Phantom killed and the retreat of all the monsters that invaded this airport, finally the troops from East Asia can land safely.

However, this battle took a considerable amount of casualties.

From the North American side, as many as 18 regular soldiers were killed and dozens more were injured while resisting the monster raid on this place. Including 2 Liberators who were seriously injured.

On the other hand, the East Asian side suffered heavy casualties.

Of the 4 planes that were supposed to land, only 3 survived. Where the other one fell after receiving a mysterious attack from the Phantom that suddenly appeared.

In the crash, about 63 regular soldiers and 3 Liberators were killed. Where the other 2 Liberators who were on the plane survived with severe injuries.

Now, soldiers from North America have begun escorting soldiers from East Asia back to the Liberator fort in Los Angeles.

'Bzzz!'

An automatic iron door opened as Axel walked over to it.

Behind it, was a recovery room with many tubes inside. 4 Liberators are being treated intensively.

"Are they going to be okay?" Axel asked Leona and Frans who were observing the treatment of the four Liberators in the tube.

Slowly, Leona turned her body and fixed her glasses.

"Hmm? Aah, Axel huh? It's the first time I've seen you in this room not as a patient, so I'm a little surprised." Reply Leona briefly.

Next to him, Frans replies to Axel's real questions.

"Just calm. They will recover soon. But.... Why are you worried?" Frans asked confused.

Leona who heard that even slightly hit Frans' body with her elbow while glancing at one of the tubes filled with green liquid.

Seeing what Leona meant, Frans finally understood.

"Well.... Eva huh? I don't mind your personal feelings, but I hope so...."

Before Frans could continue his misunderstanding, Axel immediately cut off his words.

"Please don't misunderstand me. Eva is my senior partner in the field. If he gets hurt, it will also affect my work. When will he recover?" Axel asked as he watched Eva's figure sleeping inside the tube filled with green liquid.

The figure of Eva who was not wearing a single piece of cloth on her body, was currently filled with many scars.

Even Axel was able to see the scar from Flux contamination on the woman's body, which was shown by the change in skin color to a blackish purple on her left shoulder.

In addition, Eva also received many other puncture wounds on her body. Which left him almost out of blood.

"According to my calculations, maybe a week." Frans.

"Thank you." Reply Axel who immediately turned his body to leave this treatment room.

As soon as Axel left, Leona started talking about his presence just now.

"Hmm? So I was wrong?" Leona asked herself.

"You didn't see his face? He's not even interested in anything but the scars on his body." Frans is back to work soon.

"Is that normal for a man? How's yours?" Ask Leona once again, now to Frans.

Hearing the question, Frans' facial expression changed instantly. From a flat face, it was now a face that seemed to be filled with an irritated feeling.

"You think after working to see the bodies of the living and the dead, whole and scattered every day, I'm still interested in something like that? No. gabe. Maybe the same thing happened to him."

Floor B19.

The Main Meeting Room.

Axel is now back on this floor. The goal is only one, which is to ask about the next mission to the Oracle.

Occasionally, Axel saw several officers who appeared to make calls directly to Liberators who were in the field. Guide them in their mission.

At other times, Axel also saw Liberator group discussions in their planning to complete its mission.

Just this time, Axel felt this place was really impressed like a meeting room.

"Axel, you've arrived at the right moment." Said the Oracle greeting Axel in the distance. He waved his hand as if calling Axel to come closer.

"What's wrong?" Axel asked briefly.

The Oracle then stepped to the side slightly, revealing a figure behind him.

That is a woman with a body that is not too high with an ideal body. Her hair was reddish in color tied to a ponytail with beautiful blue-colored pincers.

The uniform of the woman is the same as the uniform of the Liberators in the North American branch. The only difference is that there is an S symbol on his left chest.

"Include, Akane. He was an S rank Liberator with a fire element type. You recall? The woman who spouted fire like from a rocket engine was on a plane." Clearly the Oracle introduced the woman.

The woman bent her body slightly to say hello to Axel.

"Greetings." Said the woman named Akane.

"Aah, yeah. Hello to you." Reply Axel who reflexively subdues his body.

Later, Oracle introduces Axel to Akane.

"Meet me, this guy is Axel. Just like you, an S rank Liberator with lightning element magic type. He was the one who fired that lightning magic just before you burned the Phantom out." Obviously Oracle.

"Well, is that you?" Akane asked with a fairly flat face.

"That's how it is." Reply Axel briefly.

And either out of premonition or something else, the two people knew. That this meeting and introduction won't end so well.

Justjust right....

"Because I've known each other, I'll ask you both to work."

Axel quickly responded to the commands from the Oracle itself.

"Wait a minute, Eva's still being treated. Besides, isn't this not the scope of my mission?"

"Axel's right. My partner just died too. Although he is only B rank, but in his absence I am unable to control my fire magic well. I could've burned this poor guy out." Reply Akane.

"burned out? What the fuck? Aren't we partners?" Reply Axel who was offended by it.

"Representative? Don't you have a partner yourself? Besides, you just turned down this mission, didn't you?" Akane's reply is now starting to heat up.

"Not at my will. But on orders from...."

The Oracle who was not so fond of wasting a lot of time immediately stopped the nonsense of the two of them.

He simply raised his right hand and confirmed it towards the two of them.

Instantly, a blade of wind suddenly appeared and split whatever was in its path. Including the iron road and also the automatic door in the distance.

Leaving Axel and Akane who had almost been split over the attack speechless.

"This is a special mission. Hackers who had not been caught before, but the analysis of the machine that was destroyed by him before revealed one thing.

That is, monsters can be controlled with a tool that is still known how it works. And thanks to help from East Asia, we found a similar phenomenon occurring in the Flux Energy Power Plant area in sector D.

I want you two to investigate whether the collection of thousands of monsters there is caused by the same device, or by some other phenomenon. If we can master this technology, maybe humans have a slightly brighter future. Understood?"

Without being able to speak, the two of them could only nod their heads.

By force, accept this slightly complicated mission.
