Today was the 3rd day since the allied fleet embarked on their journey, to the general direction of the vault. They continued their preparations for this extremely important mission.After training every day for the past few years with only cold weapons as a gladiator, Clark was finally going to brush up again on his skills with the gun.Back in his days as a gladiator, he didn’t completely abandon his gun training. He still used his old implant to simulate training arenas, where he trained his mastery of the gun. Though he seldom did it, he was still able to retain his shooting skills.Emily and Scott accompanied him to the ranged training arena, as he got ready to take his aptitude test again.After staying together for more than a week, Sergeant Scott already kind of became his assistant. Despite being soldiers of the same rank, the Sergeant respected him so much, that he listened to his orders on everything.He also liked his company. Des

The Mediterranean Sea, being one of the largest and deepest seas in the world has several sources where it gets its large supply of water. Its most important channels and primary inflows are the Atlantic Ocean, the Sea of Marmara, the Nile, Ebro, Rhone, Chelif, and Po.With a surface area of 2,500,000km2, its area is also outrageously wide and boundless. With an average depth of 1,500m, it is also one of the deepest water bodies in the world.It has a large water volume of 3,750,000km3 and being a sea that has been in existence for over 200 years ago, it housed some of the oldest and most dangerous predators of the sea.Though the advancing groups of soldiers were not afraid to have an encounter with a sea predator, an exobeast sea predator was a different matter entirely. They preferred it more if their exploration was without any other complications.Clark kept silent, as the darkness of the sea started hindering their vision a bit. Blue glows started a

Captain Oxford’s armor held despite the force and momentum behind the strike, but his face twisted in agony as pain erupted all over his body. The sword on his hands became heavy for him to hold, as his hands became numb from the impact.His figure flew backward like a speeding ship without a sailor, as his bulky form finally hit the iron walls with a loud boom sound. His figure created a dent in the reinforced iron walls, remaining stuck in it like a traitor on a stake, about to be sentenced to death.His brain grew muddled and blurry, as he fought hard to keep his consciousness. He felt terrible, like all the bones in his body were displaced and bent out of shape. The pain was excruciating.The other soldier’s eyes widened in horror, as they finally came to a realization. The mechanical soldier they were fighting against previously was just the secondary form of this bringer of terror.This streamlined, sword-wielding form was the original a

After the experience of the previous room, the advancing group of soldiers was now extra cautious. Only the soft thudding sounds of their boots echoed in the corridor, as they moved forward while remaining alert.They were ready to nullify any sudden ambush like the one of last time if it came. Even an animal hardly falls for the same trick twice, if the hunter refuses to employ new measures against it. They were not foolish enough to fall for the same trick twice.Captain Oxford already prepared a lot of plans, strategies, and counter-measures to go through any unfavorable situation they find themselves in.After knowing the preparations of their leader, the advancing group of soldiers were now more confident in surviving. Fighting a prepared battle, was completely different from fighting an abrupt, completely unprepared one.Their confidence showed, as despite them passing through the same eerie-looking corridor, their expressions were not as tense. And

This terrifying explosion showed the resources and skill required to create a support-type mechanical soldier. The extremely volatile energy batteries in its bloated form did most of the work in spreading the reach of the explosion.When the deadly charged energy beam from Clark impacted its round form, it tried to withstand the impact like always. But this time, it was an energy-powered shot, and the force of impact behind it was too much. It overwhelmed its safety limit, and the rest was history.The impact, its volatile energy batteries, and the tricky angle at which it was shot made its systems react violently in both the chemical and mechanical fields.The result was, its location directly became a desolate ground. The metal floor in that location quickly melted from the extreme direct heat, while all the mechanical soldiers in the area either melted or turned to scrap metal.The peripheral heat wave from the point of the explosion was just like the
