Book 16 Chapter 44

The dust explosion was powerful enough to create a vast hole in the facility floor.

Woooooooosh…….

Even the tremor of the swirling explosive smoke in the area, which had almost turned into an empty lot, seemed to echo.

………Oooooooooooh.

Only after Lin converted the magic she had originally prepared for offense into a defensive barrier was she able to protect herself, Sval, and Pipi from this explosion.

"We won, we won, we won, EASY."

Pipi bobbed her head back and forth.

As if they could never lose, Sval frantically danced, shaking his fists around. It was not enthusiasm, but madness!

"Gyung gyung gyung gyung gyung!"

Lin merely found the two of them pathetic.

"What did you guys do? You just put a spoon on the table I set completely."

"Crazy, crazy, crazy, lunatic. A lowlife who repays kindness with enmity. A swindler, a swindler clan."

"Gyu gyu gyu gyu gyu gyu gyut!"

Ignoring the meaningless struggles of the rabble, she thought.

But something is strange.

This is clearly a facility of the <Ones Who Came>. And strictly speaking, the power of Pipi's flame wings is not that high.

'In other words, the initial power, which effectively determined the overall force of the chain explosion, was much lower than expected, yet it acted powerfully enough to collapse the entire floor?'

If the power was that immense, no matter how much of a barrier she had deployed or if she had been protected by Baekchang Palace's cage, she should have died as well.

'Wait.'

Amidst the explosive smoke, as Lin carefully surveyed the dim surroundings, her pupils instantly trembled.

The cross-section of the explosion is too clean.

This didn't disappear due to an explosion. The floor itself opened.

"Kies, don't come here, watch the situation from there! Something's peculiar!"

The moment she shouted that, something coiled around Lin's entire lower body.

The hand of Paveltykan, the equipable giant.

It was extended to its limit via a steel wire.

'Damn, opening the floor was for visual obstruction…!'

The direction that hand flew from was towards the front, that is, the direction Greta Visor had chased Lista, Nils, and Lin from.

A couple of bulkheads had been severely damaged by the aftermath of the dust explosion, and the arm flew in through that gap.

It was impossible to deflect or shake off this momentary surprise attack with a barrier; all she could do was protect her leg bones from being crushed.

"Lin, Lin, Lin, Lin, Lin!"

"Gyuuuuuuuuuung!"

Amidst Pipi and Sval's frantic barks, Lin was dragged into the depths of the facility, where not a single ray of light shone.
