NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: 9
Facing the slowly approaching Adam Smasher, Alex Carter couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, despite his extensive combat experience in his previous life.
Though he now had the black light virus to enhance his physical body, the terrifying power of Smasher—a monster whose body was 98% composed of military-grade prosthetics—was unpredictable.
The only reason he had the courage to stand here now was the inspiration he took from Rogue's approach to dealing with Smasher in the final level.
"What's wrong, little ant? Too scared to move?"
"Heh... just a piece of rotten meat ready for the pot."
"Screw you!" With an angry shout, Alex suddenly launched an attack without warning.
Three dark red grenades were thrown straight at Adam Smasher.
Simultaneously, Alex flipped another grenade toward the building defense force that had just been swept away by Delamain.
"Pathetic!"
Smasher cursed, and his prosthetic body erupted with tremendous power, instantly moving out of the original grenade's blast range.
However, seeing this, a smile appeared on Alex's face instead.
If Smasher had detonated the grenades mid-air, Alex would have had to turn around and run.
But trying to evade...
The legendary Orzobu's Nose grenades weren't so easily avoided.
The feature of these grenades was their ability to track the target!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The three grenades arced through the air and, to Adam Smasher's horror, stuck to him.
At that moment, Alex covered his head with one hand and charged at Smasher with the blade!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A series of explosions roared like thunder!
The building's defense force, unable to react, was blown apart instantly.
As for Adam Smasher, who had three grenades attached to him, he was engulfed in a fiery explosion.
"Puff puff..."
Shrapnel flew in all directions, and a series of blood flowers bloomed on Alex.
Yet, even so, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the flames.
"Clang clang clang... thud!"
A series of metallic clashes and the sound of something hitting the ground followed one after another.
When the fire and smoke finally cleared, a tragic scene was revealed.
Adam Smasher was reduced to an iron stick.
His limbs had been severed.
His chest was scorched and tattered, and he vomited green electrolytes continuously.
The once-infamous Adam Smasher was now reduced to junk.
However, Alex wasn't much better off.
His body was riddled with wounds from the grenade fragments.
Even the legendary "Kue" had small cracks from Smasher's titanium alloy bones.
The most critical injury was Smasher's severed arm lodged in Alex's abdomen, gripping his spine tightly!
"Damn..."
Alex fell to his knees, pale-faced.
His body from the waist down was sore and numb, unable to support himself.
"Haha...cough...Little bastard, let's see how you die now!" Smasher taunted Alex fiercely.
Though he was reduced to a stick, his prosthetic body could be repaired back to its original state.
And now, Alex, who couldn't walk at all, was doomed to be caught by the Arasaka family!
Seeing Smasher's smug smile, Alex cracked a smile of his own: "Don't count on anything... just yet!"
"Crack... squelch!"
"Ah, damn!"
With blood spurting, Alex forcibly pulled the severed arm from his lower abdomen.
Including the vertebra held by the broken arm!
With a "thud," Alex collapsed to the ground.
Completely paralyzed, he had lost the ability to move.
Witnessing such a terrifying scene, even Adam Smasher was shocked.
"You...lunatic!"
How extreme was the person before him to snap his own spine abruptly?
"Hahaha...hahahaha!" Though Alex lay on the ground, his laughter grew louder.
He could feel the black light virus in his body reorganizing and healing his injuries at a terrifying speed.
Suddenly!
Alex's legs twitched!
Then, he slowly propped himself up and stood shakily!
The once-mangled lower abdomen was now brimming with black and red tendrils of flesh.
In just a moment, the tendrils vanished.
All injuries were completely healed!
"No...impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"
Adam Smasher looked at Alex, who bore no injuries, in horror.
The scene before him defied his understanding.
Even after being with Arasaka for so long, he had never seen anything that allowed a body to heal so swiftly.
And from such severe injuries!
At this moment, Alex's eyes were filled with exhilaration.
He had done it!
He had truly defeated Adam Smasher!
"You like pinching other people's vertebrae, right?" Alex clenched his fists and walked toward the now helpless Smasher.
Thinking of how Smasher had killed Rogue and nearly killed him, Alex's fury was palpable.
"Today, I'll let you taste it too!"
As Alex's words fell, he stabbed "Kue" twice, prying open the armor on Smasher's back.
Then he grabbed Smasher's titanium alloy vertebra and lifted his entire body.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Little bastard, I'll kill you!"
The pain from the neural coordinator nearly drove Smasher mad.
But as a stick, all he could do was shout.
"Alright, you're all talk now. Let's go for a little stroll."
Seeing the building's defense force approaching again, Alex hoisted the human stick that was Smasher and quickly escaped the building's vicinity.
