Chapter 265
Rentaro nodded.
Upon hearing Rentaro's words, Luo Mio gave him a sharp tap on the head without any hesitation.
"Ouch... it hurts so much." Rentaro covered his head and looked at Luo Mio.
"What are you doing, Brother Miohua?"
"Idiot!" Luo Mio shouted at Rentaro. "I'm asking you, were you constantly focusing on observing your surroundings with your Type 21 Varanium Ocular Prosthetic?"
"... Hmm." Rentaro looked at Luo Mio with confusion.
Luo Mio reached out and tapped Rentaro's forehead with her fingers, slightly heavier than usual.
"Don't rely too much on technology; use your hearing, smell, and intuition more!"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Rentaro said in a somewhat somber tone, "Why do I feel like you're treating me like a child, even though you're my master?"
"In my eyes, you really are a child, just like Enju."
Watching the conversation, the girl gently covered her mouth and chuckled.
"However, I never expected that the person His Your Highness Holy Child was meeting with this time would be that old codger Qi Wu."
"Eh? Mr. Satomi, you've met President Saikō?"
The girl looked at Rentaro with some surprise.
"Well, I've met him a few times."
"Don't forget, Rentaro is the adopted son of the Tendo family." Luo Mio yawned and said to the girl, "That old man Tendo wants to train Rentaro to be a politician."
"Oh, I see..."
"Your Highness Holy Child, please don't fall in love with Rentaro in the end."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because Rentaro is Big Breasted Alien." x2
Luo Mio and Enju said in unison.
"Hello!"
And so, in the luxurious limousine, everyone chatted in a relaxed tone.
As the group approached the edge of the city...
The sunset had painted the entire sky with its afterglow, a beautiful sight that was impossible not to be captivated by.
"Um?"
"This is..."
At that moment, Rentaro looked out the window, as if he had discovered something.
"Is it raining?"
Raindrops were pattering against the car window.
And then night fell, covering the entire sky.
"Rentaro..."
Enju gently tugged at Rentaro's sleeve, her gaze fixed intently on the window.
"I have a bad feeling..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the car froze.
Rentaro quickly looked out the car window, observing intently.
Luo Mio's azure eyes flickered, and she looked towards another direction through the car window.
The vehicle gradually approached the intersection and slowed down slowly at the red light.
And at that very moment—
"——"
Disaster struck.
A white, net-like substance enveloped the luxury limousine.
Rentaro tried to open the car door, but it seemed to be wrapped in something like a white net, and he couldn't open it at all.
"Whoosh—!"
In the darkness, a streak of white light flashed by.
"Danger!"
Rentaro instantly grabbed Enju's hand and pulled her away from the middle of the car.
In the next instant, the car in front of them was split in two.
Rentaro's eyes flickered when he saw the car roof split in two.
"Get out of here!"
After saying that, he grabbed Enju and the Holy Child's hands and ran out.
"Enju! Take His Your Highness Holy Child to a safe place!"
Rentaro spoke to Enju, then turned around and rescued the driver, who was unconscious in the driver's seat, while his gaze fell on the white object.
"Net?"
"——"
A crisp sound of something hitting the ground rang in Rentaro's ears, followed by several more sounds.
Looking around, he saw several huge figures appear before Rentaro, the most striking of which were their blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.
"!"
Rentaro opened his eyes wide.
Because those figures were all spider-like Gastrea!
"So that's it, what covered the car was their spider web..."
"And it's a mutant..."
In front of the group of Spider-type Gastrea were extremely sharp, sickle-like weapons.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Rentaro gripped the black pistol and fired several shots at the Gastrea.
But in the next second, something shocking happened that stunned everyone present.
The Gastrea, struck by the holmium bullet, became even more enraged by Rentaro's attack.
"How is that possible!"
This was the first time Rentaro had ever seen anything like it.
It showed absolutely no reaction to the bullets made of holmium!
"Rentaro, danger!"
Enju shouted loudly at Rentaro.
Then his eyes turned blood red and he kicked at the unknown Gastrea that seemed to be resistant to holmium.
"Boom--!"
Faced with Enju's powerful attack, the Gastrea retreated several meters.
"What?!"
Enju and Rentaro stared in astonishment at the scene before them.
Despite being only a Stage II Gastrea, it was able to withstand Enju's terrifying kicking force.
You should know that Enju's kick can easily turn Stage III Gastrea into a chunk of flesh with a single blow.
"They even have resistance to attacks from the 'Cursed Children'?"
Kiyomi, standing to the side, also looked on in shock.
"No!"
Rentaro stared at the Gastrea in front of him with a grim expression.
"Enju is a rabbit-type Initiator, so Enju's attacks are all leg attacks, and Enju wears boots specially made of holmium."
"So these Gastrea... are all resistant to holmium?!"
Holmium is a mysterious metal discovered by humans around volcanic areas. Because it can emit a very special weak magnetic field, it can weaken the activity of Gastrea virus and cause Gastrea to lose their ability to regenerate. Therefore, most weapons against Gastrea now contain holmium.
For example, a series of weapons made from holmium, such as bullets, knives, swords, and gauntlets.
But now they have encountered Gastrea that are resistant to holmium.
"Black Swan..."
Surrounded by the crowd at the back, the girl looked at the Gastrea and murmured softly.
Seeing the Gastrea attacking before her, the girl finally understood what Luo Mio Ling meant by the Black Swan during the meeting earlier that day.
The girl's silver-gray eyes lit up.
In other words, this Gastrea attack...
While the girl was thinking, Rentaro, along with Enju, launched an attack on the group of Spider-type Gastrea.
In front of the girl, the Guard Officer dressed in white raised their pistols and attacked them.
"Um?"
The girl quickly looked around, and Rentaro did the same.
"Where's Brother Miohua?"
Upon hearing Rentaro's voice, Kiyomi realized what was happening.
They haven't seen Luo Mio since they were attacked by Gastrea.
But just as everyone was wondering, the next second...
"Boom--!"
A loud bang was heard.
A massive figure was thrown backwards from a building on the side of the street.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!"
Immediately, the group of Spider-type Gastrea emitted what sounded like a roar.
The figure that flew out of the building was even larger than the group of Spider-type Gastrea.
"The Spider Queen..."
"Leave this to me."
From the building that had been smashed open, Luo Mio slowly emerged.
"Brother Miohua."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, Rentaro and Enju also consciously stepped back and stood beside the Holy Child, keeping watch for other directions.
The Guard Officer looked at the Holy Child with great hesitation.
"Smack!"
But before the girl could respond, a crisp snap of fingers rang in their ears.
The next instant, they collapsed softly to the ground.
Rentaro, Enju, and the girl stared blankly at the scene.
"Don't worry, I only made them temporarily lose consciousness."
Luo Mio's voice reached their ears.
After speaking, Luo Mio turned her gaze to the Gastrea.
