Carter squatted down and placed his bony hand on a corpse. A progress bar appeared upon the corpse.
With all these bodies, he didn’t need to dig them up no more. But he was still required to wait for the Skin System to turn them into shards.
’This is going to take awhile...’
He spent the entire night turning the corpses into Human shards. The only thing held him back was the conversion speed of the System.
[ 968 Minor Human Shards (Mortal)]
[ 412 dium Human Shards (Mortal)]
**`[ 378 Major Human Shards (Mortal)]
’Well, sheesh. This should be enough for to make an Elite Human Skin.’
Carter got out of there as soon as the sun was beginning to rise. He carefully walked through the burning facility. The workers within the factory were deep in their sleepiness at this mont so it was much easier for him.
His feet froze as he saw a particular hallway leading deeper into the ground. The hallway was too technological advanced compared to the state of this world. The walls and ceiling were made of so cyan tal with bright white lines running on it.
Carter recognized it. It was technology coming from Cyber Runner.
"How is it here?" Carter approached the hallway.
[SYSTEM GHOST EQUIPPED]
The faceless man returned. Carter placed his hand on the hallway and tried to hack it.
’It does belong to Cyber Runner...’
The firewall of this system was stronger than this world. It was on par with an Awaken System and was even more powerful than the Cyber Core.
Carter spent quite a few tis to find his way into the core of this system. He saw a large red crystal in his vision.
The crystal booted him out of the system. For the first ti ever, his hacking was blocked.
’This thing is powerful. It is guarding sothing. I am confident that System Ghost can hack it given enough ti. But I don’t need to do that.’
Hacking was the easiest when the hacker could access the hardware. Carter intended to go straight to that red crystal and plucked it out.
[ELDRITCH SKELETON KNIGHT EQUIPPED]
The skeleton and his purple cloak returned once more.
Carter stepped onto the tal hallway. Imdiately, gatling guns dropped down from the ceiling and aid toward him.
At the sa ti, Atsuo was alard. The President sat up on his bed and grabbed his phone.
The live feed of the Skeleton Knight showed up in his phone.
"What is this thing?" Atsuo frowned.
The gatlings started to spin. Bullets scread toward the skeleton like lightning bolt.
Carter raised up his arm. A shield appeared in front of him and blocked all the bullets.
His power reinforced the shield and allowed it to block the devastating bullets. If it was an ordinary shield, it would have beco a sponge full of holes.
The gatlings ran out of bullets eventually. A whip materialized in Carter’s other hand.
He snapped it toward the gatling guns and destroyed them. Each swing would turn a heavy gun into scrap tals.
"Huh... Puny weapons."
Carter’s mind had already inserted into the role of the Skeleton Knight. He marched forward.
The hallway was too long. The pulse of the white lights could cause anyone to have a headache.
The walls opened up. chanical humanoid creatures walked out.
’No... These aren’t robots. They’re cyborgs.’
The green flas within the skeleton’s eye sockets flickered gently.
The creatures in front of him had their flesh mixed with tal and machine. But they weren’t alive. Their heads were replaced by a chanical processing head.
’The corpses... I didn’t see any actual burning the entire night. They aren’t burning the corpses. They are turning them into cyborgs. Undead Cyborgs.’
The Cyborgs rushed at Carter. The whip and shield disappeared. The black scythe replaced their place.
Carter swiped over the cyborg, decapitating it with the scythe.
It was already dead so Carter didn’t gain any Necron Force from it.
Another cyborg activated its special attack. Its tal head split open and a cannon aid directly at Carter.
A thick red laser beam shot out and hit the purple cloak. It didn’t penetrate the cloak. Smoke lingered gently from the point of contact.
The skeleton turned over. It was smiling.
The scythe turned into a whip and snapped toward that cyborg. Carter pulled it closer to him.
The whip transford into a large butcher knife as Carter slamd it downward, splitting the Undead Cyborg in half.
’These aren’t living beings. So I can’t gain Necron Force by giving out death. But I wonder if they already have Necron Force within them.’
Carter reached his skeletal finger toward the split Cyborg. He felt it. The energy of the Undead was there. The power of the Necron Force.
Green energy leaked out from the body and into the skeleton.
’Yes... More Necron Force. More power.’
The skeleton smiled deviously.
Atsuo summoned the military, what rest of it, and directed them over to the burning facility.
Armored convoys and bullet-proof trucks surrounded the burning facility.
"Plant these bombs in these positions." Atsuo ordered an Explosive Specialist.
"Why are we doing this, Mr. President?" The Specialist asked.
"The thing that attacking the facility might be a Terror. The sun is coming up. Blow the entire place away so it has nowhere to hide."
"Oh?"
The Specialist admired the intelligence and ruthlessness of Atsuo.
Inside, Carter had slaughtered his way through countless of Undead Cyborgs. They were very weak, none reached dium Awaken.
And he entered the mainfra of this entire facility.
There was one final thing that waited for him there.
The red crystal pulsed ominously. A robot stood between Carter and the red core. Its entire tal body had a sleek black color with a humanoid head.
It lifted his head up and saw the skeleton.
"Total Bastion?" The robot said sothing that Carter didn’t understand. Its joints let out sharp tal noise and it moved. "Didn’t expect to see one of you out here. Why are you attacking our territory?"
’Hmm. I just learned a lot from that.’
The Skeleton did not answer the question. It did, however, spoke.
"Wanderer... Unbound."
