707. Nature's Gift

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The Screaming Clock announced the hour right on time. Today, too, was a peaceful and tranquil day in the Fungal Fortress.

"Mom, look! A black meteor!" a little Half-Demon girl said, tugging at her mother's clothes.

Her mother looked up, but saw nothing at all.

Yet in the next moment, a muffled boom came from far away, as if something had smashed down even farther north of the Fungal Fortress.

An abnormal incident had occurred, and the Fungal Fortress's City Guard immediately moved according to protocol.

Every key defensive Node was guarded, while a response team ran toward the outside of the city.

But before they could even leave the city, their own superior called them back through the Mycelium Network.

On the way back, one soldier panted as he complained, "Who was that? Holding a drill without reporting it to the Fungal Fortress Defense Department first—are they messing with me?"

North of the Fungal Fortress, at the "meteor" impact site.

The Ox-Horse Puji worked hard to dig Little Black out after she had been knocked unconscious by the crash.

Looking at the huge pit in the ice, it was only because Little Black's physical constitution was so tough, and because Linden had installed all sorts of passive enhancement skills on her, that she had merely fainted.

If Norris had taken that hit instead, he probably would already have turned into Norris jam.

[Meteor Impact]

A super-acceleration Charge skill far beyond ordinary combat techniques, unreasonable in every way.

It could not turn or be controlled. All one could do was ram straight ahead, the sort that would not stop unless it hit something.

The skill was already hard to operate to begin with, and giving it to a dumb Dragon like Little Black made it even harder to control.
