The mechanisms inside the Ejection Fang fully activated. Under the astonished gaze of the soldier, the Ejection Fang exploded with a roar.
Bang!
The concrete stairs were pierced, and all 31 metal fangs shot upward. The metal fangs slowly rotated in midair. After striking the ceiling, they accelerated a second time, scattering as they shot downward.
Squelch, squelch...
The soldier who had discovered Apollo was turned into a sieve. He toppled to the ground without even letting out a grunt.
Spattered with blood, the Ejection Fang continued bouncing like a rubber ball. Unlike rubber balls, however, all three of its corners were razor-sharp.
After five bounces, the surrounding walls were riddled with holes. The Ejection Fang pierced through the walls and bounced into the surrounding rooms.
Screams and angry roars rang out without pause. In an instant, the five communal dormitories near the stairs looked as if they had been swept by a typhoon. Large numbers of soldiers lay on the ground, wailing, with one or more bloody holes in their bodies.
Apollo's extreme heat covered the stairs above with cracks. Soon, it fully activated, and a fireball silently expanded.
Boom!
The shock wave from the explosion spread outward. At that moment, everyone inside the Saint Limen Fortress heard a buzzing sound in their ears.
Soldiers, walls, bunk beds, bread—everything Apollo touched was instantly vaporized by the intense heat.
Because of the Saint Limen Fortress's complex structure, once Apollo expanded to a certain extent, it was no longer spherical. Instead, it transformed into a massive surge of flames that poured into the surrounding rooms.
A few seconds later, the Saint Limen Fortress's underground first floor through the third floor aboveground had vanished, forming a massive open space. The entire space glowed fiery red, with magma flowing down the rebar framework.
