As commander of the legion, Lin Chen...
Naturally recognized the man as Tychus, captain of the Beta Assault Squad.
According to the system's description...
Both Reynolds and Tychus were individuals with the potential to become heroes.
Even though they were currently only Space Marines...
They were still stronger and fiercer than the other soldiers.
"You bastard, give me back my brothers' lives!"
"If I don't blow your brains out today, my name isn't Tychus!"
With a furious roar, the Fusion Thrusters on his back lit up.
Tychus leaped straight onto the Uncanny Behemoth's tumorous body.
He jammed both Gauss Electromagnetic Rifles against its flesh.
The weapons in his hands roared wildly.
Spraying filth and shredded flesh stained his blue power armor black.
Tychus paid it no mind.
He even raised his foot and viciously stomped on the Uncanny Behemoth's body.
Before long, however, the battle-crazed Tychus was flung away.
He slammed into the alloy corridor wall, leaving a dent.
Lin Chen finally understood what a true warrior looked like.
These were the soldiers of the Conqueror Legion under his command.
Even so, two Space Marines...
Still died beneath the Uncanny Behemoth's claws.
Watching the increasingly tense battle...
Lin Chen activated the Rapid-Fire Autocannons mounted on the Hellfire Battlewagon.
Dense streams of armor-piercing rounds became twin storms of metal.
They tore more gaping holes through the Uncanny Behemoth's body.
March 7th drew her bow and kept firing arrows of Six-Phased Ice.
Asta also began using her Staff to summon a continuous rain of Stardust.
The onslaught of ice and fire combined with high-tech military weaponry.
The speeding Hellfire Battlewagon had become a mobile fortress of firepower.
Although this sort of hit-and-run tactic seemed rather unconventional...
It produced immediate results.
The Uncanny Behemoth, which had been gradually overpowering the Conqueror Legion's soldiers...
Seemed to sense a greater threat.
It propelled its massive body straight toward the battlewagon in pursuit.
"You think you can catch me at that speed?"
Looking at the still comfortably safe distance displayed on the battlewagon's screen...
Lin Chen remained perfectly relaxed.
Although the Uncanny Behemoth moved extremely fast...
It was nowhere near fast enough compared with the Hellfire Battlewagon.
As an all-terrain battlewagon built to race across interstellar battlefields...
The Hellfire Battlewagon's armor might have been a little thin.
But it moved much faster than a sports car.
Soon, in the Central Plaza of the B4 Load Zone...
A chase with a foregone conclusion began.
As the battlewagon carrying the Pathstriders continued its hit-and-run assault...
Fragments and severed limbs from the Uncanny Behemoth littered the ground.
Suddenly struck by a bold idea, Lin Chen...
Issued orders to the Space Marines.
He dispatched some of the legion's soldiers...
To collect the fragments and severed limbs that had not yet returned to the main body.
They moved as fast as they could and dumped them straight into the Space Station's Waste Disposal Chute.
Soon, beyond the Space Station's windows...
The monster's severed limbs floated everywhere like black snowflakes.
This time, the uncanny flesh that seemed to possess a life of its own...
Appeared unable to return to the main body.
After some time, the once-enormous uncanny monster...
Had become a black, tumorous mass riddled with holes.
Even its huge claws, tangled like the roots of an ancient tree...
Had been reduced to just three.
"Mr. Lin Chen... you truly live up to your title as a Demon Hunter Master."
"You even found a way to deal with a monster that was practically immortal."
In the Hellfire Battlewagon's passenger seat...
Watching the distant Uncanny Behemoth, which had less than half its body remaining...
Arlan could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Asta, March 7th, keep increasing your firepower."
"Once we smash it to pieces, we can call it a day..."
Finally seeing hope of victory...
Lin Chen reminded them as he raced along.
"Hmph... I've figured you out."
"You had Asta and me get in earlier..."
"Just so we'd work for you for free, didn't you?"
Still drawing her bow and firing arrows, March 7th...
Puffed out her cheeks and complained with a touch of displeasure.
"Ahem... this is what you call joining forces."
"An invincible turret that moves at high speed. Isn't that pretty fun?"
Before Lin Chen could finish...
A black halo spread outward once again.
With it came that somewhat familiar, eerie singing.
Swirling sea mist once again filled the black tide.
"Trying the same trick again?"
"I won't let you get away with it this time!"
"You love hide-and-seek, don't you? Then let's have some fun!"
A rather unrestrained smile curled his lips.
This time, Lin Chen did not panic.
The eerie singing had already grown much weaker.
It was probably because the Uncanny Behemoth's main body had been severely injured.
"Lock onto the target's position. Activate the Infernal Fire Weapon Module."
He issued the order directly.
The speeding Hellfire Battlewagon raced through the dark tide.
The Plasma Flame Projector atop the battlewagon deployed.
Flames of extreme heat pierced straight through the spreading sea mist.
They struck the uncanny monster's main body with pinpoint accuracy.
Great swaths of flesh melted away in temperatures approaching ten thousand degrees.
Before long, the Uncanny Behemoth had become a lump of black coal.
The strange singing stopped abruptly.
The endless sea mist vanished completely.
Even the black tide began to recede slowly.
"So you can't take the heat..."
"In that case... don't mind if I do."
Seeing the Uncanny Behemoth roasting beneath the plasma flames...
It seemed to have temporarily lost its vitality and ability to move.
Lin Chen drove the Hellfire Battlewagon straight up to the black ball of flesh.
He activated maximum output and roasted it at point-blank range.
At last, the black tide disappeared completely.
Beneath the clear water, only a mountain of thoroughly carbonized debris remained.
"Looks like... you won't be causing any more trouble now."
"Burning you this badly shouldn't affect the containment reward, right?"
Stepping out of the Hellfire Battlewagon...
Lin Chen fetched the [Portable Containment Device].
He began containing the ashes of the uncanny creation before him.
Dazzling green light flared.
Countless intricate runes surged through the vast compartment.
A moment later, the ashes in the water vanished completely.
The twisted monster, now in its true form...
Appeared inside the containment device's chamber as a miniature specimen.
[Anomaly: No. 1376. Containment complete.] [Current containment device's remaining capacity: 0...]
After dealing with the Uncanny Behemoth, in Lin Chen's mind...
The system's cold, mechanical voice sounded once again.
Beside Lin Chen, looking at the lifeless uncanny creation inside the transparent chamber...
March 7th, Asta, and Arlan all let out long sighs of relief.
The terrifying monster that could regenerate endlessly and enthrall the entire Space Station...
Had finally been dealt with for good.
Thinking it over, if Lin Chen had not appeared unexpectedly...
Herta Space Station would probably have become a true land of the dead by now.
