Lilim Heritage Online 173 Maou and Dove

A day later, after the raid.

A thousand humans ate green gels to get infected with green zombie viruses. Then, everyone got a newly born eggcat from the mutants.

All of them took the egg monster babies into their bodies. Within a few days, all of them would become pre-evolved demi-humans.

Sebastian ran back and forth between Mafdet City and Shelter 88 as he carried esper robots to the base with his mech, one at a time.

Brim, who had become the hero from the last nuclear strike, became the mutant's idol. Many pilots wanted to follow his footsteps, so they worked harder to get enough diamonds to buy the psionic link skill.

Crystal remained as Shelter 88's best operator. She continued monitoring the surrounding areas and trained more trainee operators. While Crystal was working, she kept asking for Mia's whereabouts. She wanted to ask Mia for a favor if he could bring Elvis back from his dimension.

Thorn was shocked when he heard that Mia had killed Prayut yesterday. He went missing along with his demi-hydra gang during the night. No one had seen him ever since.

500 Soldier ants evolved into stinger ants. They became Shelter 88's new air force unit, which controlled and managed by Seth, who was once the base air force captain.

Tiny did not manage her newly evolved children. Instead, she returned to her nest with Mia to reproduce more children. B sisters also returned with them as their collected seed had almost reached 1,000.

They were looking forward to giving birth to their babies.

Hewett, the artillery squad captain, brought his men to the dud missile warhead, which was shot down by Crystal's satellite. He secured it and carried the warhead back to base. With the VIP item, the repair kits, they could restore it and reuse it against Shelter 87 or future enemies.

Also, as the artillery team, they lacked firepower. Even during yesterday's missile attack, they were useless in the battle while Brim and Seth did all the work with their esper mechs.

Also, the new esper robots that Sebastian brought back would be useful to them in the future. Hewett planned to get the psionic link skill, so their team could modify their Prometheus to a long-range artillery mech.

.

Dove and Mana arrived at the ruined Mafdet City. At first, he wanted to find a human to kill, so he could reset the SAN attribute.

Unfortunately, Mia beat him to a punch by taking every survivor with him, leaving Dove with nothing.

Still, Dove could see Sebastian's Prometheus running back and forth as he carried mechs with him. Dove guessed that Mia and his comrades might have destroyed the city when he was away.

The proof was there in the ranking list.

.

Only Dove and Mia were still playing this game. As for the others, they already quit as this world was too dangerous for them.

His gaze also stopped at Misha's name. Her level had not changed for days.

'Obviously, she has quit, too …'

He had a heartache. Dove wanted to see Misha again.

The serial killer scavenged the deserted town for usable items along with Mana. Unbeknownst to him, Mana secretly contacted Crystal.

.

A communication channel that Crystal forgot flashed its red color.

A trainee operator picked up the line, "S88, speaking. Who goes there?"

[Agent Mana reporting. I've returned, and I need a pick-up.]

"Agent Mana?" Crystal heard the voice. She took over the trainee, "Where are you?"

[Mafdet City. I thought you secured this place, yes?]

"We do, but we're abandoning it. Stay where you are. I'll send a pick-up unit."

[I'm under the custody of an overmind psychopath. From what I learned about him, he's also an otherworlder. Please act with caution.]

"You … you're with an otherworlder, but you want us to pick you up!?"

[Igor is dead, so my mission is over. I want a good bath and a good sleep for once. I'm tired.]

Crystal sighed, "Okay. I'll tell Mia to get you."

[Isn't he the otherworlder sissy that Thorn picked up? Won't he betray us?]

"Eh, long story short, he's our castellan, and he's the one behind the destruction of that city. He's also the father of inferno ants. Well, once you returned to base, you'll understand."

[… Roger. I'll wait. Please track me with your satellite. That psycho and I are wandering inside the resident district.]

"Copy."

.

Two minutes later, Mia received a call from Crystal, which interrupted his sexy time with his wives.

"I thought I got a day off, Crystal."

[Something comes up. An overmind shows up at Mafdet City with our intelligence agent as his hostage. Can you help her? The agent is Mana, the girl that you had met before.]

"Eh, another overmind? Well, give me two hours."

[Too long. Can you make it quick?]

"Can't do. My wives are in heat, and they won't let me go without quenching them first."

[… Half an hour. Don't be late. I don't want to lose her.]

.

.

.

Half an hour later, Mia came back to the office. Crystal was waiting for him.

"Who is this overmind?"

Crystal showed Mia satellite footage. A black-and-white picture of Dove and Mana in the middle of Mafdet resident district was on the table before Mia.

"My agent reports that this person is a psychopath serial killer. He had been killing all civilians at Chonburi Base for weeks, and he migrated to Mafdet to find more victims. Well, we had destroyed the city before that psycho arrived, so I figure he might be in a bad mood."

"That's why you want me to hurry."

"Exactly. I don't think that Mana can last for long if he gets pissed off. Since you're experienced with overminds, can you rescue Mana? She's the only family I have left."

Mia sighed and nodded, "Fine. Where is Thorn, by the way? I haven't seen him around."

"I haven't seen him, too. Maybe he went off to smoke with his gang?"

"Never mind, then. I'll be going."

"Take Prometheus with you. Don't get overconfident with your monster body. It was too risky yesterday."

.

Mia got on his Prometheus and went to Mafdet City. Along the way, he ran into Sebastian with his robot.

Sebastian used his psionic link as a communication device, "What are you doing here? I thought you wanted to rest today."

"Crystal gave me a job. Her intel agent came to the city with an otherworlder overmind."

"What!?"

"That guy is my acquaintance, so I planned to deal with him alone. You should continue with your work."

"No. Let me go with you."

"You don't have the Psionic Possession skill. You're too vulnerable to an overmind's soul attack, and you will drag me down. Stay out of it."

Sebastian frowned in frustration. The butler wanted to fight together with Mia, but it seemed that he was too weak. Also, being told that he was vulnerable to an overmind's attack was a wakeup call to Sebastian. He had suffered from a soul attack from Mia once, which made him realize how weak he was against the Psionic Possession skill.

"I'll stay here and be your back up."

"… Suit yourself."

Mia parted with Sebastian and got to the city.

The ruin was still warm as white smoke covered the sky.

He expanded his 3D sense around the town and found two life signatures without much trouble.

After Mia had located Dove and Mana, he used his telekinesis to separate the two and held them in his robot's hands.

Dove was shocked that he lost control of his body as it flew by itself. The robot's right hand imprisoned him into its palm. Had Prometheus exerted more strength, he would have died.

'This is cheating! Using an esper robot against an unarmed people. Totally BS!'

Dove thought that this ambush was not fair, so he pressed the logout button to escape.

As usual, the 30 seconds timer appeared.

Dove clicked his tongue as he activated his escape skill, [Planned Escape]. The map of the surrounding terrain appeared on his game interface.

When Dove noticed that he could teleport to a certain location, he grinned.

.

Meanwhile, Mia used his psionic link on Mana, sending his telepathy.

"Crystal told me to pick you up."

Mana nodded, "Okay. Thanks for your hard work. By the way, are you Mia?"

"Yeah, I'm the guy that fed you and Manee with Tuna."

"Okay? So, you and Misha are the same person, I assume."

"Let's talk about that later. What about this guy? Did he harm you?"

"Not quite. He's a good lad, but he's a bit crazy. Since he's an overmind otherworlder, kill him, please."

"Actually, I wanted to talk to him first. Well, since he's a threat, I'll just kill him now."

Mia controlled the robot, so it could squeeze Dove and crush him in his palm.

.

Dove could also sense the pressure force.

Dove smirked, mocking the pilot that he was too late.

Planned Escape activated.

- Active skill.

- Once month cooldown.

- Teleport you to a safe location of your choice in the range of 100 meters.

- Enter the state of invisibility for five seconds after the teleportation.

****************************

.

This was Dove's life-saving skill, which could be used to teleport to a safe location that Dove had chosen.

However, Dove did not choose a safe location. He picked a place inside the robot's cockpit.

Dove appeared before Mia inside the robot!

"Surprise, motherfucker!"

A knife appeared in Dove's hand as he stabbed Mia, who failed to react in time.

*CLANK*

The knife could not penetrate Mia's scales. As ordinary bullets could not penetrate his skin, a combat knife was not even a threat to Maou.

Mia smirked, "Jokes on you, motherfucker."

Mia's left hand grabbed Dove's collar while his right arm threw a hook punch onto Dove's face.

*POEK*

Dove's vision shook as his ear rang. His body lost its balance.

Dove did not know why the game did not cancel his logout sequence, but he was thankful for this bug.

Unbeknownst to Dove's plan and his bug exploitation, the Mia activated his force field, planning to cook Dove alive while he held onto the overmind.

Dove also activated his skill, Cryokinesis: Ice Coffin! The same ability that Krastel had once used to freeze the entire warehouse.

>

Both bodies were sealed within an ice cube, but the electricity shocked them at the same time.

Since Dove's character was AGI and DEX built, his reflex was faster than Mia.

The overmind altered his skill, trying to freeze all liquid in Mia's body.

The ice power froze Mia's blood within his left arm that held Dove's neck.

Though Mia's reaction was a split second slower, he activated skill to counter the ice.

Flame Field!

The minus one hundred degrees Celsius changed into 500 degrees, which melted the ice in an instant. The flame also burnt Dove's neck.

Dove's character's system had finished the 30 seconds cooldown. He logged out of the game before the fire could kill him.

As Dove's conscience was fading from the game, he could see Mia's in-game name above his head.

"Oh, it's you. Hi, Mia."

Mia watched Dove's character faded before him with widened eyes.

After Dove had disappeared, Mia grumbled, "Yeah, it's me. You bastard."
