Kanna Transforms on Terra

"You're awake. That's good, I was about to wake you anyway. Based on the intel we gathered from our observations and what we've heard, they'll be leaving in about half an hour. You can start getting ready. After all, you'll be on your own from here on out."

Chapter 84: Pride and Prejudice

Using her height advantage and the dim pre-dawn light, Kanna easily made her way to the cargo truck. She just needed to wait for the guards to finish their inspection, toss in her Lightning Wedge, and then use her teleportation ability to sneak onto the truck unnoticed.

The workers had finished loading the cargo and left, with only the driver remaining to do a final check.

Kanna approached and observed carefully. There were two people in the truck, the driver and a passenger. In the off-road vehicle leading the way, there were four people. It was clear that even though they received goods here daily, the estate director was extremely vigilant.

However, even the director's meticulous planning couldn't stop the Little Dragon Person's stealth.

Kanna seized the moment the driver got out of the truck. With a wave of her hand, an incredibly subtle purple light shot out like a shooting star the instant the door closed, flying into the truck without anyone noticing.

Kanna could now control the power and size of each Lightning Wedge. The sight of something the size of a fly flying out from the grass and into the truck didn't even register with the guards the estate director had stationed at the front.

By the time the truck started moving, Kanna was already inside.

The large truck was sealed on all sides, both to prevent contamination from Originium dust and to stop anyone with ill intentions from climbing aboard and stealing supplies.

Kanna took a sniff. Most of the supplies inside were fresh meat and some seasonal vegetables.

Logically, an estate director should have a population that matches their production capacity. And meat wouldn't typically be prepared for ordinary slaves and servants. So, the large quantity of meat was quite thought-provoking.

Considering that there was an Originium mine within the estate director's territory, Kanna estimated that most of this meat was for the guards and private army protecting the mine.

Without sufficient military force, a small nobleman couldn't possibly hold onto a valuable commodity like Originium.

As she was investigating, intermittent chatter drifted from the front of the vehicle.

"What a shame about that woman yesterday, huh? Tsk! Such a pretty face, and the young master just beat her to death. Should've just given her to the brothers down below to have some fun."

"If you want to die, don't drag me with you. Damn, you know how the young master's temper is, he flips out over anything. From what I know, that woman was one of the villagers they captured earlier. She was just good-looking, so the young master picked her out instead of throwing her into the mine. But she was ungrateful and just cried in her room every day. So, the young master's patience ran out, and he hung her by the door and beat her to death.

Let me tell you a top-secret piece of information. A friend of mine who works in the kitchen said that after she died, her body was made into meat sauce and then into soup for the slaves working there. And they were all so grateful. It almost made me puke."

"Ugh~ Don't say it, it's making me want to puke too. But you have a friend in the kitchen? A lover, perhaps! Heh heh heh!"

"Heh heh heh..."

After listening to their conversation, Kanna's face turned ashen.

She had already anticipated that the villagers might be abused and treated unfairly, but from the conversation between these two, it was clear that everyone in this estate, from top to bottom, was a beast.

She had hesitated before, worried about harming innocents if she made too much of a commotion. Now, she was relieved. Anyone who could live in this estate was probably not a good person, so she didn't need to hold back.

If anyone was accidentally injured, it could only be attributed to their bad luck.

At noon, the convoy arrived at the estate as usual. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was watching, Kanna slipped out of the truck. She dodged a squad of soldiers coming to receive supplies and lightly leaped onto the rooftop.

The reason for choosing such a conspicuous spot as the rooftop was naturally to get a bird's-eye view... No, it was because the signal was better up high, making it easier to receive information from the Outcast.

Furthermore, she could use the time before she was discovered to observe the surroundings, which would help her plan her attack (meaning, where to start freezing things) and map out an escape route.

Upon reaching the roof, she saw the estate's ostentatious main gate. Thanks to her sharp eyesight, Kanna spotted a spreading pool of blood near a crooked tree by the gate. Judging by its color, it likely belonged to the woman the two men had spoken about.

The bloodstain, spanning nearly five meters, indicated the horrific suffering that woman endured while alive.

As Kanna stood on the roof, contemplating how to deal with this family, the main gate was opened. A ragged, emaciated boy ran out, shivering. The metallic glint flashing beneath his tattered clothes revealed that he was undoubtedly an Infected.

Before he could get more than a few steps, a whip covered in barbs shot out from inside the house with a piercing whistling sound. The tip of the whip accurately struck the boy, who couldn't dodge in time, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.

Accompanied by a scream, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He rolled on the ground a few times before stubbornly getting back up and stumbling towards the gate.

Kanna recognized the boy. He had been following the new leader chosen by the villagers, and they seemed to have a close relationship. While most children chose to go to Rhodes Island, he had chosen the other path.

At the time, he probably thought the man beside him would be a powerful protector. He never imagined that in just a few months, the protector he admired would be brutally torn apart by villains, and he himself would become a "toy" for the estate director's children to play with.

"Run faster! You're too slow, it's boring!" a sunny-sounding boy's voice echoed from inside the house.

Then, a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, emerged from the house, holding a whip.

Behind him followed several fully armed warriors carrying weapons.

"George, slow down. Don't twist your ankle over this piece of trash," a sharp, sarcastic voice came from a round, fleshy figure about one and a half meters tall and equally wide.

"Alright, Mom! This trash? Does he even deserve to make me get injured? Speaking of which, this toy is almost dead. Can you ask Dad to send me two more?"

While impatiently replying to the fleshy figure, the young man mercilessly swung the whip in his hand, lashing out at the boy.

Kanna sighed, her eyes turning ice-cold.

Just as the whip was about to strike the boy again, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. With a deafening roar, the whip exploded in the middle.

The running boy stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

Chapter 85: Taste This Big Boy!

"Don't move! Let me see!" As the boy prepared to get up, a childish voice sounded in his ear.

Kanna, with a look of pity, examined him. The boy's body was covered in wounds, and there wasn't a single part of him that looked unharmed.

Perhaps the desperate desire to survive and his unyielding will were the driving forces that kept him going.

"Who dares to cause trouble on Baron Colin's territory!"

Just as Kanna jumped down to check on the boy, the guards had already drawn their weapons, their eyes warily fixed on Kanna's position.

A man who looked like a captain immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!" and countless footsteps could be heard from all around the estate, converging towards the gate.

The young man looked up, his vision blurry, and saw a familiar figure.

"You're heavily injured, and I don't have any medicine. Lie still and don't move. I'll get you some medicine. Otherwise, you won't make it through today looking like this." Although Kanna hadn't studied medicine, she had been at Rhodes Island for so long that she had seen all kinds of patients. It wasn't quite becoming a doctor through prolonged illness, but she could certainly be a barefoot doctor selling some questionable remedies.

After a quick check, she gently patted the person's head, signaling them to stop moving.

Then she stood up and, with a nonchalant expression, looked at the group of tense soldiers at the doorway, weapons pointed at her.

"Um... do you guys have any medicine for external wounds? Can I have a few bottles?"

The scene fell silent. The only response was the approaching soldiers and the chilling glint of their weapons.

"So, no talking?" Kanna spread her hands, her eyes growing increasingly menacing.

She didn't notice that her eyes had once again turned the same blue as during the previous Catastrophe, with a silver-white vertical pupil, making her look dangerous and mysterious.

"Slurp, slurp!" Accompanied by disgusting gulping sounds, the man surrounded behind the soldiers looked at Kanna with a lecherous expression.

"Ohohoho! Her, Mother, I must have her today! All of you, attack! You must capture her and bring her to my bed!" The man's once handsome face contorted into an incredibly twisted and ugly visage as he pointed at Kanna, shouting excitedly, spittle flying everywhere with his exaggerated facial expressions.

"Tch! Another pervert! That makes you even less tolerable." As more and more enemies surrounded her, Kanna looked disgusted. It was a disgust born from not wanting to touch these people at all, as they made her feel sick.

"Lightning, in mythology, represents the judgment and decree of the gods! Today, I will act as the gods' executioner. I sentence all of you to death, effective immediately, with no chance of reincarnation."

As Kanna spoke, a circle of electricity appeared around her and instantly spread outwards.

"Ding ding ding..." Just as Kanna was about to make her move, her communicator rang.

"Kanna, we're ready on our end. You can start now," Outcast's voice sounded like heavenly music to Kanna.

"You should be grateful for your good luck. My luck is good too!

So, everyone, Die!"

The next second, a purple light spot appeared next to each of the surrounding soldiers. Before they could react, the spots exploded, spreading high temperatures and lightning in all directions. Upon contact with other lightning strikes, these lightning bolts merged, reformed, and became even more powerful.

Ironically, to display their deterrence, the soldiers had formed a circle with very close spacing between them, providing the perfect opportunity for a chain reaction of lightning strikes.

This was Kanna's first time using the Myriad Thunder Prison, and she never expected the quantitative change to result in such a dramatic qualitative shift.

Sensing something was wrong, she snatched the boy at her feet with lightning speed and instantly teleported to the upper floor outside the garage where she had previously placed a marker.

Meanwhile, the chain reaction continued, turning the entrance of the entire manor into a lightning pillar nearly a hundred meters thick, radiating light and electricity.

The towering lightning pillar was clearly visible for dozens of miles around.

Following the lightning pillar came rolling thunderclaps and powerful shockwaves.

Kanna had already dispelled her skill, but the terrifying power of this attack exceeded her expectations.

Initially, she thought these heavily armed enemies would all be electrocuted by the chain lightning. But in reality, it had evolved from lightning into a laser beam. Everything within the light beam was instantly vaporized, leaving only bare earth. To be precise, the ground itself had been scorched by the intense heat into cracked earth, with the top layer glistening white.

Kanna couldn't help but swallow. "Good heavens, if it were any stronger, it would be like the main cannon in Star Wars burning glass."

The power of this lightning pillar was not limited to what Kanna saw. After the chain reaction transformed into this pillar, the outward-spreading pulse wave destroyed all electronic devices within a five-kilometer radius centered on the manor, effectively deploying an electromagnetic pulse bomb here.

What happened here naturally alerted those several kilometers away. Baron Colin, the former village chief who had fled the village back then, was currently inspecting the mine. The blinding white light rising into the sky naturally caught his attention.

Upon realizing the light was coming from the direction of his manor, he urgently contacted his home via communicator, but only received busy signals and static.

He then guessed that something had happened at the manor and immediately gathered two-thirds of the soldiers from the mine, taking their weapons, and headed towards the manor.

His mind was in chaos. He wondered which unlucky, ill-fated soul dared to cause trouble on his territory. Didn't they know he had the protection of a great noble?

The Rhodes Island members lurking near the mine looked towards the manor with expressions of awe. Only Outcast slapped his forehead with a wry smile, pondering how to write the combat report later.

"Report, Captain. Two-thirds of the mine's guards have been taken out. The remaining forces can barely maintain control of the mine. Now is our chance to attack!" The observation team reported the news to Outcast after confirming Baron Colin had left with his subordinates.

"Good. Notify teams one and two to prepare for a frontal assault to draw enemy fire. Team three will be responsible for sniping, taking out any attacking points that dare to show themselves. Team four will infiltrate the rear and eliminate the guards, releasing the workers. The reconnaissance team will remain in position and continue observing the surroundings. If any enemy presence is detected, report it immediately. To prevent the enemy from returning and catching us off guard, we must act swiftly and finish this within ten minutes. Any questions?" Outcast arranged the mission for the action team leaders, holding the mine's structural map.

"No!" The Operators' voices were calm and decisive.

Section 86 Chapter Eighty: When it Rains, it Pours

Following Outcast's orders, the team charged out along the road, as if they had rehearsed a thousand times.

The people left guarding the mine were extremely vigilant. After so many were taken away, fewer than a hundred remained. This mine was a large one, housing nearly a thousand Infected. A force of a hundred was already stretched thin trying to maintain internal stability. After all, the miners here lived worse than pigs and dogs, so they would naturally rebel at the slightest opportunity.

Previously, a large group had arrived, creating a loophole in the guards' defenses, allowing over a dozen to escape. Baron Colin had even beaten several of the ringleaders who were caught.

Therefore, after the main force left, most of the remaining personnel were focused on internal security, fearing that the reduced defenses would give these unruly people another chance to escape.

But they never expected that before any internal trouble could arise, a group of burly men suddenly emerged from outside the mine. Their refined armor proved they were well-prepared.

Recalling the situation at Baron Colin's manor, they knew they had fallen for a diversionary tactic.

To prevent anyone in the mine from contacting the outside world, the mine's only communicator was personally controlled by Baron Colin. After he left with the communicator, the mine lost all electronic means of external communication.

Someone attempted to climb onto the roof to launch a signal flare, but he only took a few steps before a bullet accurately blew his head off.

"Sniper, be careful!" Seeing the person fall to the ground, his legs still twitching pathetically, the mine's guards immediately retreated, not daring to show themselves.

"Damn it! What's going on? Can you tell which noble's forces these are?" The person in charge of the mine was a trusted officer of Baron Colin. He still assumed the attackers were the private army of another noble.

After all, no one could imagine that their opponents were staff from a mobile medical station in a town over ten kilometers away. Such a fully armed and well-equipped force, in Victoria, besides official forces, would only be the elite private armies of major nobles who could afford such luxury.

"I can't tell. The weapons these people are using are almost all the latest equipment developed by Blacksteel International, and there are no extra markings... Damn it, there's a Sarkaz Caster among them, be careful..."

As the people inside watched through the gaps at the Rhodes Island Operators steadily advancing on the road, several members with horns on their heads and blazing flames in their hands stepped out from behind the Operators.

Upon seeing them appear, the observer's pupils contracted violently, followed by a piercing scream.

Before he could finish speaking, several fireballs whistled and smashed into several locations within the mining area that had been previously scouted as easy places for the enemy to hide.

Then, several fiery figures ran out from those hiding spots with shrill screams. Unfortunately, before they could take a few steps, the crisp sound of gunshots once again reached the defenders' ears, and the fiery figures fell to the ground one after another.

"Damn it, Sarkaz sorcerers and top snipers from Sarkaz. Don't these two groups hate each other?" Before the people inside could even understand the current situation, several more large fireballs found their hiding places like a precise roll call.

"We can't hold on anymore, boss. They must have figured out our defenses outside. Those guys are targeting people, and my brothers can't take it anymore."

As the advance continued, the defenders previously stationed on the outskirts of the mine were completely cleared out by the Outcasts.

"Damn it! These guys don't plan on letting us leave alive! Go inside, drive out all those slaves, and push them all out. We'll hide in the middle and look for a chance to break out."

At this moment, the officer also sensed that things were not going well. However, the Outcasts said nothing except for their actions, making him believe they intended to slaughter everyone in the mine. Therefore, he planned to use the miners as shields and then blend in with them to escape the mining area.

As a result, the people he sent in didn't return for a long time, and the enemy outside was getting closer and closer, making the officer's face grow paler.

Damn it, what's going on inside?

At this moment, he desperately wanted to know what had happened inside the mine, but he didn't dare to leave.

Because he knew that as long as he was still there, his subordinates could hold on a little longer. But if he hid, these guys would definitely mutiny or flee.

However, just as the string in his heart was about to snap, footsteps began to echo from inside the mine.

His complexion involuntarily turned from pale to red. As long as he could break through the encirclement, he would have opportunities to fight back later. Although he failed to hold the mining area this time, given the enemy's combat power, his superiors probably wouldn't blame him. He could redeem himself and perhaps get promoted, become rich, and marry a beautiful woman.

However, those footsteps abruptly stopped at the last corner.

He kept looking back, wanting to know what exactly had happened inside.
