Anur stood in front of the thick silver alloy door without saying a word. Behind him was a straight corridor. There was a mini red indicator light every ten meters on both sides of the wall. Other than that, there was no other source of light. This door was the end of the corridor. Looking back from here, one could only see two red lines extending into the darkness. At the end of one's line of sight, the two red lines were infinitely close to each other, almost connecting.
This scene easily made one think of words like 'secret' and 'forbidden'.
He had been standing there for ten minutes.
Chi!
The door slowly opened, breaking the silence.
Light spilled out from within, illuminating Anur's wrinkled but still stern face.
A figure slowly walked out of the room. His back was facing the light, and his face was pitch black. He stopped in front of Anur. One of his faces was in the light, and the other was in the dark. The light behind him elongated this person's shadow, covering Anur's body and turning into a black line that extended along the corridor.
"Only with my permission can you contribute to Dark-star again, and now is the time, Ashes."
Anur's stern face revealed a smile. He stretched out his hand and suspended it in front of him. "Welcome to the domain of the Calamity."
The figure reached out and shook Anur's hand. He lowered his head, and the face became clearer. It was indeed Ashes.
Today was the day that Ashes was released from confinement and regained his freedom.
To him, confinement was equivalent to training in seclusion. He did not need to rush around for missions and missions. He only needed to do one thing every day, and that was to dig out his own potential. Day after day, he finally crossed the threshold that countless Supers could not cross in their lifetime and entered the domain of Grade A. All his senses were refreshed, as if he had been reborn.
The increase in power was not independent. His life level, worldview, and thoughts also changed. The problems that he once found difficult to solve were now very simple. The enemies that he once could not let go of were no longer important.
During his confinement, Ashes had been thinking about Black Star, who could restrain his superpower. The reason he worked so hard to break through to A-class was because he wanted to meet Han Xiao again and wash away the shame of his failure.
However, after truly reaching the Calamity Grade, this deep-rooted thought suddenly faded. Ashes no longer bothered about Han Xiao from the bottom of his heart. He realized that Anur was right. He was already on a different level from Grade B. This feeling was like a person being offended by a mosquito bite. It was laughable and absurd.
Ashes no longer regarded Han Xiao as an equal opponent. Even if this person could restrain his ability to a certain extent, he was still confident that he could turn him into ashes within ten seconds.
The gap between Level A and Level B was an insurmountable gap.
"Teacher, thank you for your guidance."
Ashes's tone was filled with respect. Anur's experience and teachings had helped him overcome many problems. He respected this teacher very much.
Anur nodded and kept his smile.
"The current situation is not optimistic. Although we are hiding in the dark, Godora has never given up on hunting us. With the implementation of the next step, the struggle between the organizations will escalate. Our high-end combatants are the main targets of Godora, and some of them have left us. High-level combatants like you and me are currently the most scarce. You don't have time to rest. There is a mission that requires you."
Ashes was expressionless. "This is my mission. From the moment I open my eyes every day, I am already prepared to contribute my strength to the cause of Dark-star."
"… Okay, follow me." Anur turned around and said in a deep voice, "This is your first mission after reaching Grade A. I will move with you to prevent you from being unable to control your own strength. We are going to Noriose to hunt down a traitor …"
…
In the Garton Star System, a galactic pirate spaceship that was painted with a stealth coating was traveling in the universe. It was currently in stealth mode where it could not be located. At this moment, a chase was happening on the ship.
"Don't run!"
Bang!
A light cannon hit the ground where Sylvia was running, exploding a blazing red trace. A large group of galactic pirates were chasing after her with angry expressions.
Sylvia was running with large strides. She was wearing a simple black battle suit, with only the joints and important parts covered with machinery to provide defense or strength. Her figure was already somewhat curvaceous, and she exuded youthful vitality. Her shoulder-length hair danced in the wind as she ran. There was a mechanical ring fixed to her right ear, and a miniature tactical analysis screen extended in front of her right eye.
She was not alone. She was pulling a young boy by the arm as they ran together. This boy was a pure-blood Godora, and his age was similar to Sylvia. He was wearing a prisoner's uniform, and although he was half a head taller than Sylvia, he was panting heavily. He was an ordinary person.
"You, who are you? Why did you save me? "the boy asked while panting.
Sylvia glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I'm a mercenary. Someone paid me to save you. Stop talking nonsense and save your energy. Run faster."
The boy was dragged along as he ran, and the sound of laser explosions chased after them. In such a dangerous situation, this Godora boy stared blankly at Sylvia's delicate and lively side profile. He was in a daze, and his body followed her mechanically.
He was a hostage of this group of galactic pirates. He came from a wealthy family, and his father was the head of a Godora financial group. He was extremely rich, and thus, he was targeted by the galactic pirates and was kidnapped for ransom. Other than him, this group of galactic pirates also kidnapped other hostages and locked them up together. However, ten minutes ago, this weak girl who was also captured as a hostage suddenly turned into a warrior, opened the cell, and escaped with him.
Thus, the two of them naturally attracted the attention of the galactic pirates.
Ta ta ta …
Three galactic pirates suddenly appeared from the corner in front of them. They circled to the front and were about to shoot at the two of them. At this moment, the captain of the galactic pirates shouted, "They are valuable hostages. Don't kill them!"
The three galactic pirates blocking the way slowed down for a moment. Sylvia swung her hand and pulled out a short alloy stick from her tactical belt. Its exterior cracked open, and more components extended out, turning into a silver mechanical longsword. The two sides of the blade glowed with yellow light. This was an energy weapon. Enchantment runes were carved on the body of the sword, making it even lighter.
Sylvia's movements were extremely fast. She lowered her shoulder and rammed into the stomach of the galactic pirate in front of her. The combat uniform on her provided her strength, and the burly galactic pirate staggered from the collision. Before he could react, Sylvia pressed down on his gun and pointed it at his partner beside him, helping him to pull the trigger.
Boom!
The laser beam penetrated the head of the person beside him.
This galactic pirate was furious. Just as he was about to kick Sylvia away, he felt a sharp pain in his knees. His legs lost all strength, and he knelt on the ground. Looking down, he realized that his knee had been cut open by the sword, and blood was everywhere. Before he could scream, Sylvia held the sword with both hands and stabbed it into his eye socket. The blade of the sword came out from the back of his head.
Two months had passed. Under the guidance of Han Technician, Sylvia had gradually developed her own Super potential. Now, she was already at Grade D. Wearing the mechanical weapon that Han Xiao had made for her, she could already deal with a galactic pirate gang where most of the members were ordinary people.
Seeing this, the third galactic pirate did not care about the captain's order and immediately fired. Sylvia quickly tilted her head before he fired, and her head avoided the laser beam. She was almost hit. She immediately pulled the alloy sword out of the dead galactic pirate's head, turned around, and cut off the barrel of the gun. Then, she remembered the lesson that Han Xiao had taught her on how to quickly destroy the enemy's combat ability. She immediately raised her leg and kicked the third galactic pirate between his legs!
Bang!
This galactic pirate's face instantly turned purple. His knees bent inward, and he knelt down with his hands covering his crotch. His forehead hit the ground, and he curled up like a shrimp, twitching.
The Godora boy's body trembled, and he felt pain in his lower body.
This series of battles ended in an instant, but the pursuers had also closed the distance between them. Sylvia did not have the time to finish the job, so she grabbed the boy's arm again and pulled him to escape.
"Let's go!"
The galactic pirate gang had many people, and under the pursuit, Sylvia's range of movement became smaller and smaller. Finally, they were blocked in a corner. Hundreds of galactic pirates surrounded the two of them and looked at Sylvia with evil intentions.
The boy's face was filled with fear, and he grabbed Sylvia's shoulder tightly. Sylvia's face was solemn, and she protected him behind her. She held her sword in front of her and constantly adjusted the direction she was facing.
"You have nowhere to run, little girl." The galactic pirate leader walked out from the crowd with a cold smile on his face. "I didn't expect that there would be a Super among the hostages we kidnapped, and you even caused a commotion on my ship. Do you think you can save this boy so easily? Where do you think you can run to when you're on my ship? "
Sylvia's temples were sweating, and she held the alloy sword even tighter. This galactic pirate gang was mostly made up of ordinary people, but there were quite a few Supers. The galactic pirate leader in front of her was a Grade C Super, an existence that she could not match up to.
"Tell me, who are you?"
"… Mercenary," Sylvia said with a deep voice, but her voice still sounded very young and crisp.
As soon as she said that, the galactic pirates looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha … this kid is a mercenary?"
Sylvia's face was filled with anger. "I just killed three of your members."
Everyone laughed even louder.
The galactic pirate leader laughed wantonly, and his face was ferocious. "Little girl, you think you can become a mercenary just because you killed three ordinary people? You overestimate yourself. You know nothing about strength. "
Sylvia bit her lips and said fiercely, "I still have companions. They won't let you go."
"What kind of mercenary group would want a kid like you? A boy scout? Ha, I'll kill as many of your companions as they come. "
The galactic pirate leader sneered. "As for you … hehe, although you're a little young, you're quite pretty. I don't think a mercenary group can pay much ransom, so I'll use your body to pay for it …"
The eyes of all the galactic pirates lit up, and they laughed in tacit understanding. They sized up Sylvia's face and body without any restraint.
"Don't mess around …"
Sylvia instantly became nervous.
The boy's expression changed drastically, and he somehow mustered up the courage to stand in front of Sylvia. Just as he was about to speak, the galactic pirates suddenly started arguing.
"I want her legs. The meat is the best!"
"Then I want her butt. I like fat!"
"Her ears are crispy. It's best to cut them off and eat them raw."
Sylvia's expression froze, and she couldn't help but feel confused. She shouted, "Hey, is this what you mean by using my body to pay for it?!"
The galactic pirate leader was confused when he heard this.
"Of course it's to eat you. Is there any other meaning?"
Sylvia had a sour expression on her face. She narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Why do I suddenly feel like killing them …"
Beep beep beep …
At this moment, Sylvia's wrist suddenly made a noise, and everyone looked over. Sylvia revealed a smug smile, and the panic from before was nowhere to be seen. It was all an act to stall for time.
She shook her wrist and said in a playful tone.
"This is a tracker ~"
Just as she finished speaking.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded beside them, and the ship shook violently. Everyone cried out in surprise and almost fell down. They hurriedly looked in the direction of the explosion.
They saw a large hole in the tunnel dozens of meters away. Dust and smoke filled the air.
A few figures appeared in the smoke and stepped onto the spaceship.
The leader was the first to walk out of the smoke. He was wearing a black trench coat, and his hands were behind his back. Radiance like the starry sky flashed in his eyes, and his body naturally emitted a suppressive aura that made the galactic pirates feel a chill down their spines.
This feeling became more and more obvious as the black-clothed man approached. He stared at the galactic pirate leader, and the galactic pirate leader's legs went soft, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
In fact, Han Xiao was just looking at him casually. This suppressive aura came from the suppression of life.
