Chapter 33: Five-Star Character "Dan Heng · Sensitive"

Smoke obscured the view.

Some of the Silvermane Guards fell unconscious.

But more of them felt invigorated, eager to fight.

Gu Tang dashed forward decisively, moving at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

He dashed into the crowd, striking down every guard still standing with lightning-fast blows.

"Ow!" "Ah!" "Ouch!" "It hurts!"

And then he returned to his original position.

When the smoke cleared, March 7th and the others saw a large number of Silvermane Guards sprawled on the ground.

"Awesome! Your invention really worked, Gu Tang!" March 7th raised her fist in excitement.

"My inventions never fail..." Gu Tang said calmly.

Dan Heng raised his spear: "There are only a few left... we can force our way through."

"Smash them all!" Stelle charged forward, swinging her bat.

"Stelle, we're supposed to be escaping, not fighting!" March 7th quickly reminded her.

The group ran towards a nearby alley.

The Fragmentum—

A strange phenomenon caused by the Stellarons, constantly eroding life, creating monsters, and bringing endless disaster.

Like a tear in space, the Fragmentum exuded an eerie aura at the deepest part of the alley.

"Let's jump in first, everyone!" March 7th fearlessly leaped in.

The others followed, disappearing from the view of the Silvermane Guards.

"Did they really just run into the Fragmentum? Are they crazy?" A guard exclaimed in disbelief.

"No, we can't underestimate these people." Bronya walked over from behind, "The Supreme Guardian's order is to capture the culprits. We cannot refuse to pursue them just because they escaped into the sealed area. Whether dead or alive, I must see it with my own eyes."

"Yes, I'll prepare the map of the sealed area right away." The guard responded resolutely.

"No need, I've fought here many times. I can roughly guess where they will be transported." Bronya waved her hand dismissively.

She turned around and led the guards away, her expression shrouded in gloom: "All I can do now... is eliminate the threats to Belobog."

Her tone was firm, as if convincing herself.

---------------------------------

Gu Tang and his companions were transported to an alley.

The alley was dilapidated, surrounded by the remnants of buildings, clearly abandoned for a long time.

"Ha! See, they didn't follow us in! We're free!" March 7th raised her fist in excitement, "Serves them right! Haha, trying to catch us? Not in a hundred years!"

Stelle rested her bat on her shoulder: "Though it feels like they won't give up so easily."

Dan Heng nodded: "Stelle is right, the Silvermane Guards were caught off guard this time. It won't be long before they follow us in."

Gu Tang surveyed the surroundings: "There are quite a few Fragmentum creatures around here. Let's move out of this area first."

The group moved along the road.

They encountered several Fragmentum creatures, but after Stelle gave them a good thrashing with her bat, they became docile again.

"So what happened exactly? Why did the Supreme Guardian suddenly send people to capture us?" March 7th asked as she walked.

She was still indignant, having not fully enjoyed the comfort of the hotel room.

Stelle remembered the dream...

Could it be related?

"Look, there's a barrier ahead." Dan Heng alerted them.

The road ahead was blocked by a sturdy iron gate.

"This gate looks like it can't be opened directly..." March 7th frowned as she observed it, then noticed a polygonal mechanism beside the gate.

She quickly waved her hand to get the others to come and look: "Hey, doesn't this mechanism look familiar?"

But Stelle had already swung her bat at it.

"Ora!"

Bang——!

A loud noise.

The entire gate twisted and flew off, clattering to the ground.

"We're not playing some RPG game here, no need for puzzles." Stelle gave March 7th a thumbs up.

"We're being chased right now, saving time is crucial." Gu Tang approved.

March 7th looked at the mechanism, then at the twisted gate: "Alright... I guess."

The group continued forward.

As expected of a place eroded by the Fragmentum, various obstacles blocked their path.

March 7th: "Ah! Another locked iron gate."

Stelle: "Ora!"

The iron gate was breached.

A bat can also be a key.

March 7th: "Watch out! Fragmentum creatures!"

Stelle: "Ora!"

The creatures turned into debris at their feet.

March 7th: "There's a huge pile of debris blocking the way."

Stelle: "Ora!"

One swipe to clear it.

A bat can also be a cleaning tool.

March 7th: "There are so many trash cans blocking the way!"

Stelle: "..."

She reached out and moved the trash cans to a safe place.

March 7th: "... Where's your invincible bat?"

Stelle patted the bat, as if caressing a well-behaved baby: "It's tired, needs a rest."

--------------------------------------

The group pressed forward without stopping.

"Look, it's just ahead!" Dan Heng shouted as he saw the exit of the Fragmentum.

But dozens of bullets rained down, halting their steps.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bullets hit the ground in front of them, sparking flashes.

March 7th looked around and found the guards had surrounded them, clearly having set up an ambush.

"Even though this place has been eroded by the Fragmentum, it's still part of Belobog. The guards know this place well." Bronya walked towards them slowly, the sound of her boots on the ground crisp and clear, "The escape game is over. Lay down your weapons and come back with me."

March 7th said angrily: "Persistent! I don't understand what crime we committed to make you chase us this far!"

"The orders I received were to capture you. As for the detailed charges and punishment, the tribunal will explain." Bronya looked at Gu Tang, "I guarantee, except for this man, the rest will receive a fair trial."

Gu Tang blinked: "Hey, why do I lose out on fairness?"

"I think the reason is obvious..." Stelle said, looking at Gu Tang.

"No choice, I didn't want to use this item." Gu Tang slowly took out a small gun.

The gun didn't shoot bullets, but syringes filled with pink liquid.

"This is a terrifying device I invented. Once injected with this liquid, sensitivity increases by 3000 times." Gu Tang said solemnly.

"Sensitivity 3000 times... what kind of perverted thing did you invent?!" March 7th shouted, blushing.

Even Stelle stepped back a couple of steps.

She considered herself fearless, but this kind of thing was still too much.

Gu Tang raised the gun, aiming at Bronya.

March 7th reached out to stop him: "Wait, Gu Tang, that's the Supreme Guardian's daughter. If she ends up like that in front of everyone, her career as the next leader is over!"

"This is a necessary sacrifice, March 7th... Take this! Bron-whatever!"

Gu Tang pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The syringe shot towards Bronya.

Bronya raised her long gun.

Clang!

The syringe hit the barrel of the gun, making a crisp sound.

Then it bounced back, spinning in the air, and stabbed into Dan Heng.

Gu Tang: "..."

March 7th: "..."

Stelle: "...…"
