Chapter 384
She asked as she prepared yet another attack .
It was really just her way of toying with Karman . She was not actually interested in a reply .
All it did was buy her some time .
However, Karman answered politely .
“Yes, maybe I am an idiot . But it’s possible that someone from my old home exists within that Super Beast . You called them ‘purification devices’? So you know the secret of the Super Beasts?”
Karman asked . ‘Ah, yes,’ Jegyll said knowingly .
“Now that I think of it, the use of Six was top-secret . ”
“Aye, it’s true . I didn’t know about it either . And I was the captain of a Special Task Force team . So, now I am curious as to why someone like Karman would now . ”
“Well, it doesn’t matter . We’re going to kill you right here, so the city residents won’t hear anything of it . ”
There were still questions left unanswered, but it didn’t matter to Jegyll .
And so she moved to attack .
She was ready .
Her body had been remade and now specialized in combat .
Karman also didn’t let his guard down . His eyes were locked onto Jegyll and Reiz .

Reiz’s men were still fighting the Super Beasts, but he also kept his attention on them .
Karman didn’t have much chance of winning, but he intended on buying his men as much time as possible, so they could find the Powered Suits .
Still, there was some hope for him .
Veldora’s own words… ‘Oh, Karman . The Battle Bodies you and Zaza were given were based on our analysis of Michelle . If you can handle it, you will have the strength of a Demon Lord . ’ If he was to believe those words, he should be able to take on the Machinery Four .
He didn’t know what Veldora meant by ‘Demon Lord,’ but Karman didn’t worry about such details .
And so he decided to fight without giving up .
“Reiz . I will handle Karman . You hurry up and get rid of these pesky Super Beasts!”
“Yes, yes . Understood!”
Jegyll ordered him as his superior . And so Reiz obeyed her and moved towards the Super Beasts with his men .
“I won’t let you!”
Karman said as he tried to attack them as a diversion .
However, Jegyll stopped him .
And so he was forced to face her . And the fight began .

As vicious as the fight was, it was mostly Jegyll attacking .
While Karman followed the warning signs that appeared in his brain, it was all rather superficial . He was good at handling heavy weapons, but not at close-quarters combat .
And so he tried to establish the tide of the battle as quickly as possible .
“Hehehe . You’re better than I thought . I was confused as to why you didn’t die from my kick . But now I see it . You’ve undergone some modifications . ”
“Yes . And so I’m starting to get used to your movements . ”
It was a bluff .
Indeed, Karman was able to react to a certain degree .
However, it was very difficult, even as he relied on his body’s features .
It wasn’t real Machinery Arts . He was just using the official military combat skills he had gained previously . And that wasn’t so useful against a cyborg .
Even now .
Karman aimed his high-power blaster at Jegyll and fired . But she dodged it every time .
Karman clicked his tongue . Jegyll laughed .
“It’s no use . You are like a child compared to me . I was humoring you just long enough to take stock of your abilities, but I have sufficient data now . As you were able face me with such weak combat skills, the features of your body must be at least as good as the Machinery Four . But that’s all it is . It’s still surprising, but you yourself are no threat to me . After all…”
And with those words, Jegyll vanished .

Then she seemed to materialize behind Karman . And she kicked him in the back .
“GUHAAA!”
Karman slammed to the ground .
His brain allowed him to trace Jegyll’s movements . And so he understood what had happened .
It was a simple thing . Ultrhigh-speed movement .
Karman was able to see it all displayed in his brain as if he had a bird’s eye view . He saw Jegyll appear behind him .
It was twice the speed of sound .
It was an incredible speed, considering that she still hadn’t gone all out .
That was when Karman fully realized that this battle exceeded anything he had ever experienced before .
The speed of his heavy weapons were the same as the speed of sound .
Karman could fight while flying, and hitting his targets determined on his ability to predict where they would go .
Dodging optical weapons was not possible, so he managed by predicting the trajectory and firing time by reading his opponent’s movements .
But now, with an enemy moving around at a speed that was clearly faster than him, it was clear that such strategies would no longer be effective .
“Bullet-firing weapons are pointless against cyborg soldiers . You do understand what this means, don’t you?”
Karman didn’t need Jegyll to remind him .
It was obvious .
You had to use optical weapons to defeat cyborg soldiers . Because cyborg soldiers could move faster than bullets .
Especially seasoned fighters could even deal with beam weapons if they moved before firing .
This was what Jegyll was talking about .
And blaster weapons were slower than beam weapons . Slow enough for cyborg soldiers to dodge them .
Even an ultrhigh-temperature plasma took time for the energy to be gathered . And as it was a short-range weapon, it was necessary to get close to your target .
The finished plasma sphere had enough power to burn anything it touched . However, it was practically useless in combat when you are moving at a high speed .
And that was why Machinery Arts had been invented . It was the crowning achievement of high-speed combat .
Even if both people otherwise had the same abilities, the difference between knowing and not knowing it was great .
Karman’s team was able to use optical weapons for wide-range annihilation .
However, once they were close enough to cyborg soldiers that they became visible to the eye, then there was nothing they could do but be trampled .
