Steel Body

Breaking in through the front gate?

Hearing his words, Clarice and Sabretooth were both stunned for a moment.

They knew Richard was very strong, capable of taking out more than ten Mutant Agents by himself.

But they had never known Richard had such a crazy side to him.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Sabretooth asked with a frown.

"What's there to be unsure about? We're going to offend the Department of Mutant Affairs anyway, so we might as well do it properly."

"Sneaking in would be a lot more convenient, but it would lack a bit of presence."

"Charging in through the front gate is what makes it domineering!"

Richard said with a serious expression.

Neither Sabretooth nor Clarice knew about the system, much less that he had to kill twelve Mutant Agents to complete the mission and receive the system reward, Summoned Swords.

"Going in through the front gate is indeed domineering, but you should also know that it'll make tonight's operation much more difficult."

"I don't think the two of us alone can handle everyone at the Los Angeles Branch."

Sabretooth continued.

Although he had Bone Claws and Super Self-Healing far beyond that of ordinary people, he also knew exactly what his weaknesses were.

Ordinary firearms might not be able to kill him, but his healing still required time.

If his head or heart was hit by a bullet, the time needed to heal would increase drastically.

"How about this? I'll go in through the front gate, while you use the Spatial Gate Clarice creates to head straight to the Second Underground Floor. We'll split up."

Seeing that Sabretooth did not particularly approve of his plan, Richard proposed a new one.

Although splitting up was not a particularly good idea, Sabretooth still agreed to Richard's new plan.

No matter how he looked at it, splitting up was still better than having the two of them charge in through the front gate.

Sabretooth said nothing more and had Clarice create a Spatial Gate to the Second Underground Floor.

Very quickly, Clarice finished creating the Spatial Gate.

The moment it formed, Sabretooth stepped through it.

At the same time, Richard used Flash and went directly from the building rooftop to the front entrance of the Los Angeles Branch office building.

Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and aimed his palm at the metal door before him.

Repulsion!

The air in front of him rapidly compressed under the effects of his Repulsion Ability, then shot toward the metal door like an Air Cannon.

Boom! The compressed air slammed heavily into the metal door.

The tremendous impact sent the metal door flying several meters away before it crashed onto the ground with a clang.

After blasting open the metal door with the Repulsion Ability that had once belonged to Inessa, Richard walked inside with Masamune in hand, his expression calm.

Zanshin!

When he saw the guards in the entrance security hall raise their pistols and aim at him, he casually swung Masamune.

As Masamune descended, six or seven Crescent Moon Sword Qi, purple on the outside and white within, shot toward the guards like lightning. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Before the guards could even fire, the Crescent Moon Sword Qi passed through their bodies and sliced them in two.

As the proficiency notifications continued, Richard's control over Zanshin became increasingly effortless.

He could now control the trajectory of the Crescent Moon Sword Qi created by Zanshin to a certain extent, rather than being unable to alter their path after firing them as before.

After killing those guards, Richard did not immediately enter the Los Angeles Branch office building. Instead, he stopped in the plaza before it.

Although Masamune, enhanced by magic power, could cut through Reinforced Concrete buildings as though they were watermelons,

using Masamune indoors was still not as effective as using it in an open area.

There was another reason he did not intend to enter the office building right away.

He wanted to ease some of Sabretooth's pressure.

With him drawing attention in the plaza before the building, Sabretooth, who had already infiltrated the Second Underground Floor, would have a much easier time.

In terms of combat experience, he was nowhere near Sabretooth's equal.

But in terms of strength, even ten Sabretooths would not be his match.

Just as he had guessed, a large group of fully armed guards soon rushed out of the office building.

Although he had yet to see any Special Forces Members or Mutant Agents, he had no intention of sparing these guards.

As long as they were enemies, kill them!

The moment the guards rushed out of the office building, he immediately began using Flash, commencing a one-sided slaughter with unequal numbers and unequal strength.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

After recovering for an entire afternoon, his magic power had fully replenished.

However, he did not use skills such as Octaslash or Earth Shake. Instead, he swung Masamune and attacked the guards with ordinary slashes.

Though they were ordinary slashes that consumed no magic power, they were more than enough to kill these guards.

As Masamune continued to swing, he reaped the guards' lives like the grim reaper of hell.

In less than ten seconds, the first wave of guards to rush out of the office building had been slaughtered to the last man.

Severed limbs and torsos littered the ground, while the heavy stench of blood spread in every direction on the night wind.

Urgent alarms rang throughout the entire building, turning the formerly quiet structure incomparably lively.

At the same time, the surveillance cameras captured Richard's frenzied slaughter of the guards before the front entrance, displaying it clearly before Benjamin, Jack, and the others.

Richard Wesley? The moment Benjamin saw that the person slaughtering the guards was Richard, an intense killing intent he could not suppress immediately surged within him.

He then decisively picked up the phone and dialed an internal number.

"This is Benjamin Kaim. Activate the Sentinel Robots immediately!"

After saying that, he hung up before the person on the other end could speak and left the office without looking back.

He had assumed that some reckless Unregistered Mutant had come to show off at the branch headquarters.

He had not expected the intruder to be Richard, the man who had killed fifteen of his subordinates.

Although he had not personally witnessed Aiden and the others being killed, he knew it had all been Richard's "masterpiece."

Aiden and Bert had already reported that Sabretooth and Clarice had been captured.

Not only that, they had also reported their plan to use Sabretooth and Clarice to force Richard's hand.

After leaving his office, Benjamin did not return to the Action Department. Instead, he headed straight for the end of the hallway outside his office.

Bang! He raised his right fist and shattered the window at the end of the corridor with one punch, then jumped directly out of it.

His office was on the fourth floor of the office building.

For an ordinary person, jumping directly from the fourth floor was not a good idea.

But for Benjamin, a Level Four, or Alpha-level, mutant, it was no problem at all.

After landing on the grass outside the window, he immediately activated his superpower without any hesitation.

Steel Body!

As he activated his superpower, Benjamin's black skin immediately took on the metallic sheen of steel.

At the same time, his strength, endurance, physique, and other attributes underwent a qualitative transformation.

Steel Body was his only superpower.

Yet it was still enough for him to firmly hold the position of Action Department Director at the Los Angeles Branch.

After activating Steel Body, he immediately sprinted toward the building's front entrance.
