Nikke, something’s seriously wrong with this evacuation point! Chapter 76 76: How is he there?!

"…That's roughly how it is. But I should say this first: Raptures evolve. What I know may already be outdated," Charon said with a smile.

"I understand. Nothing in this world is eternal. Everything that exists will inevitably change. Still, thank you, Lieutenant. Your information is a great help to us," Rose said, bowing respectfully.

"Thank you very much." Scarlet also gave a slight bow, still expressionless.

At that mont, the military transport suddenly jolted and ca to a stop.

In an instant, Scarlet's gaze sharpened. Even Rose, who had been calm until now, beca serious.

"Looks like we've arrived," Rose said softly.

The other Nikkes' breathing grew heavier.

During the ride, they could still distract themselves. But now–this was the battlefield.

One mistake here ant death.

Charon, on the other hand, was sitting calmly, yawning.

He had seen too much of this already. Raptures? No problem. He could kill as many as ca.

THUD! THUD!

A knocking sound ca from the rear door of the carriage: "Alright, we've arrived at the mission area! All Nikkes, move to your positions!" Barnes' voice ca through.

The Nikkes quickly disembarked.

"Oh right, I forgot about you." Barnes smiled more amiably after looking at Charon, who was the last to co out. "I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste… Even if you really like it, you can go find one of those mass-produced logistics Nikkes. They're harder, not so easy to do that. By the way, I personally only like real humans, at least they're soft."

"Lieutenant, don't forget my role," Charon replied calmly. "I need to observe the Nikkes' physical condition."

"Alright, alright," Barnes patted Charon on the shoulder. "Co with . We can rest for a while before they finish their mission. I brought so drinks with this ti."

Even during an active mission, he still acted like this?!

"You can keep it for yourself, Lieutenant. I need to observe their battle up close; I can't wait for news from the back."

Charon refused to stay in the rear.

Barnes was speechless. He knew what the observers might be doing, but he hadn't expected them to be doing things during combat. That was far too dangerous!

"Don't worry, people in my line of work have special self-protection skills, and even if I really die, it won't implicate you." Charon chuckled, turned and left, following the path Nikke and the others had taken.

"Really? Is this line of work that hard?" Barnes's lips twitched. "Never mind, it's none of my business. It's just a pity for such a good kid who got the hang of it."

After muttering a few words, he staggered back to a safe place.

It was quite obvious that Charon didn't actually have the job of close observation as he claid; that was just sothing Abe made up to fool people. In reality, if he wanted to, he would have just stayed in a safe place like Barnes.

The reason he was going was because he wanted to observe how these lee Nikke fought. He had already seen the footage taken by the cara he had set up himself, and Liliweiss's performance was incredibly dazzling. He wondered what level these new generation of lee Nikke would be at.

Moreover, with him around, he can at least offer so protection to this group of new Nikkes.

Back then, he guarded the rail elevator all by himself, a true hero who could hold off ten thousand.

He intended to observe the battle directly.

He still has a bunch of weapons in his backpack, just in case.

...

On the battlefield

Rose took position on top of a building.

"Successfully infiltrated the building near the mission area and located the target.Visual contact confird: 20 ground-type Raptures. If we drop from here, we can land directly in the center of the group," she reported softly.

"Is that so? Then let's go and wipe them all out!" Barnes' voice crackled over the radio.

This lack of confidence made Rose subconsciously frown, but she was Nikke, and Nikke only needed to follow orders. As for what kind of person the commander was, she couldn't interfere.

Rose frowned slightly, but an order was an order.

"Received." After replying, Rose closed the communication, then took a deep breath and stared at the Raptures, but couldn't move for a long ti.

So did the others.

Before real Raptures–not simulations–their instincts hesitated.

"We're supposed to… jump in there and cut them down with swords…?" A teammate's slightly trembling voice ca through the comms. "Not with guns... but with swords..."

These words acted like a fuse, igniting the fear and unease in everyone's hearts. Even Scarlet felt a trace of hesitation.

Rose instantly understood that now was the ti for her to take action. As the captain, even if she was afraid, she had to set an example to encourage the others. Otherwise, if they failed in their first battle, they would definitely be taken away and disposed of.

But at that exact mont, the Raptures suddenly changed behavior.

They all turned in the sa direction at once.

–!!

Rose looked.

And saw him.

Charon.

He was standing behind a half-collapsed wall, holding an iron sword, peeking out.

To the Raptures, he was the most obvious target.

"Lieutenant!!" one Nikke shouted sharply.

"How is he there?!" Rose imdiately moved.

If their montary cowardice led to the death of a human officer, they would truly have no choice but to atone with their own lives.

All the Nikkis realized the serious consequences, completely forgetting their fear, and imdiately jumped off the building's roof, rushing towards Charon with all their might.

"It should take about 10 seconds, no, that's too late!" Rose didn't have ti to worry about anything else. She had pushed her speed to the limit, but no matter how she calculated it, although she was sure she could kill all the Raptures in front of her, the Raptures had a 1-second window to attack her.

But the calculation was clear:

One second–and his head would be torn apart.

At this crucial mont, Charon raised his iron sword, assud the stance he had practiced all afternoon the day before, and then brought it down.

One simple, clean slash.

The first Rapture collapsed instantly, its core destroyed.

An ordinary swing of the sword, yet that one strike, earlier and more accurately and powerfully than Rapture's, cleaved through the core of the fastest Rapture.

As expected, this level of selflessness, Rapture, could empty a health bar with a single sword strike.

Just as he was about to continue, sword light flashed around him, and three or four Raptures who had surrounded him were instantly cleared away. Rose's tall figure also appeared next to him in an instant.

Scarlet too.

Within a minute, the entire group of Raptures was wiped out by the bloodthirsty lee, Nikkes.
