The mechanical figure streaked across the pitch-black sky and crashed heavily to the ground.
Her neat Federal Bureau of Investigation uniform had been torn to shreds, exposing the moving mechanical components beneath a massive wound.
The blonde woman's left arm had vanished completely, leaving only a smooth left shoulder and the severed mechanical interface exposed there.
Sparking electricity crawled along the damaged wires connected to the mechanical interfaces.
Slender white fingers brushed through the black mud. The woman's curled right hand slowly exerted force, supporting her mangled body as she rose.
The unrelenting downpour had covered the ground in pools of water reflecting faint light.
And in the reflections of those pools, a giant turtle was slowly crawling toward the woman.
Rows of upright metal blades grew from its back, making it look like a hedgehog covered in Sharp Knives.
But the Sharp Knives on its back were unevenly distributed. Some areas were densely packed with blades, while others were left with grooves where blades appeared to have once been embedded.
Between those grooves was a massive, charred hole with a hideous shape. It had pierced the giant turtle's shell, exposing the writhing flesh beneath.
But that was all.
The giant turtle crawled bit by bit toward the woman sitting on the ground. The Sharp Knives on its back twitched, as if they were about to shoot out at any moment.
The woman struggled to sit upright. After that limit-breaking strike just now, her body had severely overloaded, and she no longer had the strength to fight for the time being.

Those blades were incomparably sharp
