Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The commander knew very well that in Mecha World, there was no login point for the Swift Dragon base. In other words, as long as they were still at the Swift Dragon base, there was no way they could leave the virtual world, much less report to military headquarters. It looked like the opponent's true intention was indeed not to stop them from reporting, but to kill them all.
"You all are too ruthless," said the commander through gritted teeth. The commander gritted his teeth as he replied. He knew that this time, the odds were stacked against them. He could only hope that the opponent only had this one spectre...
Reiter was not angered by these words. They had come here with the intention of turning Huaxia upside down anyway. Right now, he was still concerned about the matter at the secret base. After all, it was already time for the T-virus to break out, and yet no abnormalities had been detected. This made him rather anxious, so he did not want to say anything more to this Federation commander. Circulating his spectre power, he poured it out madly towards the other...
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, the commander exchanged a quick glance with an extremely plain-looking warrior, and then jumped up abruptly. With a sideways whirlwind kick, followed by a mid-air chain kick, they actually sent the people surrounding them flying. The next second, they came to the side of a seemingly incompetent clerk who had been taking notes all this while. One on the left and one on the right, they began to protect him.
In a world where normal people could not see, two powerful forces clashed violently. Reiter and that clerk both shuddered violently.
Reiter's expression changed abruptly, and he said, "Spectre." He had not expected that there would actually be a spectre hiding in Huaxia. If he had not arrived in time, these ambushers would probably have been in danger.
The clerk did not say anything, only staring coldly at the other without making a sound. This time's clash had made him understand that the other's spectre power was probably stronger than his own by a hair. A trace of regret flashed through his eyes. If he had known earlier that the opponent had a spectre, he would have wiped these people out long ago when they had been surrounded. In order to find out the other's background, they had chosen to endure for now. Now, it looked like they had really miscalculated.
For this mission, to ensure that nothing went wrong, the military had sent two spectres, one in the open and one in the dark. The one in the open was Hollow Ground, while the one in the dark was him. He had disguised himself as a clerk to join the investigation team. Other than the commander and adjutant who knew about his background, even Hollow Ground did not know.
The reason he was called Dark Spectre was because his spectre power was rather unique. As long as he did not use his spectre power, his entire aura would be like that of a normal person, and no one would notice anything unusual about him. It should be known that spectres more or less always carried a dangerous aura around them. As spectres themselves, they were extremely sensitive to this aura. Thus, the moment a spectres appeared beside them, they would be able to sense it very quickly. Due to his uniqueness, he had taken on the role of Dark Void in many missions, and it was the same this time.
Therefore, when they found out that the opponent had a spectre ability, the commander and his adjutant had rushed over to his side. Indeed, his spectre ability was not bad, but his skills were still the same as other spectre abilities — very weak.
"I just want to know, how are our people at the gate?" The clerk suppressed the surging blood in his chest and asked hoarsely. Seeing the other rushing over from outside, he had a vague feeling that something was not right. It was very likely that something had happened to Hollow Ground, but he still hoped that Hollow Ground was safe and had not died in battle.
Reiter smiled and said, "Since I've come down, what do you think will happen to your comrades?"
The clerk's expression turned serious as he said, "Hollow Ground, he's very strong." Meaning, you want to lie to me? No way.
"Oh? So his name is Hollow Ground? " A trace of mockery appeared on Reiter's lips. "He refused to say his code name even when he died, saying that he could not bring shame to his country..."
"Nonsense, Hollow Ground can't possibly die," the clerk retorted angrily. The clerk retorted agitatedly. Hollow Ground was one of the top ten spectres of the Federation — how could he be so easily defeated here?
Seeing this, Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Little Four, can you imitate the energy aura of other spectres?" Every spectres' spectre power had a unique aura. Those who were familiar with it would be able to recognise it easily, so there would not be any accidental injuries.
"Of course I can." Little Four pursed his lips, thinking that Boss was really underestimating him, Little Four, by asking this question.
"That's good. Wait a moment. After you hear my orders, immediately imitate Hollow Ground's energy aura and take the opportunity to kill Caesar's hacker." Ling Lan's eyes lit up. She had an idea. "Of course, we have to act like we're going to die together."
Hearing this, Little Four's eyes lit up. He had never played this kind of game before. He quickly nodded, indicating that he would listen to Boss.
Meanwhile, Reiter saw that his opponent's emotions were unstable. His eyes flashed and he decided to continue provoking the other, because spectres who had lost their cool were the easiest to reveal weaknesses...
"He is very strong alone, but I'm not the only spectre among us." Reiter smiled calmly. Hearing this, the clerk's expression changed. He was most afraid of this possibility — just the one spectres before him would definitely not be able to defeat Hollow Ground.
Taking advantage of the fact that his opponent had not calmed down, Reiter slyly once again unleashed his spectre power to ambush the opponent. However, Reiter was disappointed, because although the clerk did not seem to be using his spectre power, he had actually been secretly on guard all this time. When he sensed the opponent's spectre power attack coming his way, he met it without a second thought.
The clerk knew that if they continued to fight head-on like this, the result would be disadvantageous to them. As he withstood the opponent's spectre power, he threw a look at the commander beside him, indicating for the commander to immediately find a chance to escape...
These two attacks allowed Reiter to gain a general understanding of the opponent's strength. The opponent was weaker than him by a hair, but to kill the opponent, he would first have to exhaust the opponent's spectre power. This was a protracted battle. At this thought, Reiter felt some regret. He should not have sent Witt back to the secret base so quickly...
There was still no news from the secret base until now (Reiter did not know that D1 and the others who had been acting as liaison had already been wiped out by Little Four). Reiter began to feel anxious. He knew very well what their purpose in coming here was. If something happened at the secret base, even if he killed everyone here, he would not be able to make up for this loss.
A thought struck Reiter — he would definitely not waste any more time. Mature and experienced spectres all had their own trump cards. For example, his opponent in the last battle, Hollow Ground, had used his final attack as his trump card. Similarly, as the leader of this operation's spectres, Reiter also had one.
Thus, his spectre power, which had already been a hair higher than his opponent's, suddenly grew several times stronger. This caught the clerk off-guard, and with a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as white as a sheet of paper. This caused the commander's expression to change. He threw a look at his adjutant, and then the adjutant grabbed hold of the clerk and flew out of the encirclement, the commander following closely behind.
At the same time, several other team members suddenly broke free of the enemy's restraints and began to attack madly with no regard for their lives. This action caused the encirclement to become flustered, afraid that if they were not careful, they would really kill the other party and cause them to die on the ground of the Swift Dragon base, adding to their troubles.
Seeing this, Reiter shouted, "You're asking for it!" The overwhelming wave of spectre power directly crushed these Federation soldiers who were trying to make a final struggle.
The clerk clenched his teeth and used the last of his spectre power to conjure up a protective shield to protect these comrades who were fighting a bloody battle.
The two sides once again clashed violently, and the clerk once again spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably. He could already feel that his protective shield was about to be crushed by the opponent's energy, and at that time, it would be time for all of them to die in battle. He was still too weak...
A strong sense of unwillingness rose up in the clerk's heart. If only he had been as strong as Hollow Ground, perhaps he would have been able to protect these people and survive. He could almost hear the sound of his protective shield shattering, and just as he was about to give up all hope and wait for death to come...
"Little Four, do it!" Seeing this, Ling Lan ordered decisively.
A powerful wave of spectre power suddenly appeared, intercepting the opponent's powerful spectre power. The clerk's eyes lit up — it was Hollow Ground!
Hollow Ground had successfully intercepted the opponent. Reiter sensed this familiar wave of energy and his expression changed abruptly. He cried out in shock in his heart. This was impossible.
Yes, he had clearly seen the opponent turn into a white dot and disappear into the virtual world. He had confirmed that the opponent's consciousness had been wiped out by him and Witt together. So why had the spectre power belonging to Hollow Ground appeared at this time? He did not understand. He was terrified. But he did not have the chance to ask, because at the same time that wave of energy had intercepted his attack, it had actually counterattacked.
The counterattack did not feel that strong, but Reiter found that his spectre power was rapidly disappearing. He was forced to retreat step by step, and in the end, he was actually suppressed by the counter...
This was illogical! This was Reiter's final thought, because this change had happened in the blink of an eye. Before Reiter could react, he had been wiped out by this seemingly weak spectre power...
Everyone present could only see the initially arrogant Reiter suddenly explode, turning into a white dot and disappearing rapidly. The expressions of the Caesar people changed. Reiter's sudden death made them realize that things were not looking good. Meanwhile, the Huaxia Federation soldiers seemed to have been given a shot of cardiac stimulant at the sight of this, erupting with battle strength several times greater than before...
Only the clerk had a sorrowful expression on his face. He could sense that at the same time that the opponent's spectre power had dissipated, Hollow Ground's spectre power had also begun to dissipate.
The clerk seemed to sense a strong sense of reluctance in the air from Hollow Ground's spectre power, as well as his relief that they were safe and sound. The clerk knew very well that Hollow Ground had sacrificed himself because that attack just now had been Hollow Ground's final trump card. The trump cards of the Huaxia Federation spectres were basically all means of mutual destruction. This had something to do with the Huaxia people's unyielding character... Hollow Ground should have gone through a series of battles and was already at the end of his rope, but he had still rushed over to save them, and in the end, had even sacrificed himself to save them.
Hollow Ground, rest in peace! The clerk closed his eyes with wet eyes, suppressing the sorrow that filled his head.
