Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 21 Ability Upgrade
"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding..."

Frege looked at the burly man more than four meters tall in front of him, and quickly said with a smile.

His current height is almost the same as that of the opposite person, but the big man in front of him can still be called "burly".

After all, he is currently not equipped with a mechanical exoskeleton at all, just standing there in a simple combat suit, his oppressive force is already evident.

Of course, the main reason why Frege is afraid of him is the panel given in the explorer's notes:
【Name: Robert Engel】

[Race: Human (improved species)]

【Age: 43】

【Gender: Male】

【Strength Rank: B】

[Reaction grade: C]

【Speed ​​grade: C】

【Physical rank: B】

[Brain development degree: 19%]

[Ability level: 2]

[Ability: Muscle Activation]

[Muscle activation: Your body can be better combined with ether, and you can easily achieve the ultimate in strength]

[Character evaluation: The suggestion is to run away quickly]

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

The strong man grinned, and the muscles on Frege's face couldn't help twitching.

He didn't know what effect this muscle activation had, but the 2nd-level power level made him have to use the highest level of vigilance to face the enemy in front of him.

He wasn't going to run, or he didn't think he could run at all.

Can only fight.

The other party seemed honest and honest, and even had a friendly exchange with him at this moment, but Frege knew that if these appearances were taken seriously, it would be completely ruined.

Under his observation, the exaggerated muscles on the opponent's body are gradually expanding at a speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

It seems to be a special ability that needs to be charged...

Frege thought about it, and adjusted his posture silently.

"I'm not actually afraid of you, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his sword on his wrist and reappeared in front of him. His half-kneeling posture made him charge forward faster than before.

"Cunning boy..."

The strong man still maintained a smile, as if Frege's actions were not threatening in his eyes.

[Detection of power reactions such as A, please pay attention]

A reminder suddenly sounded in the mechanical exoskeleton, Frege was shocked but the movement of his hands did not stop because of it, a horizontal chop went straight towards the strong man's neck.

"It's useless."

The opponent didn't hide, Frege hit the ground with a blow, but before he could get excited, several veins popped out of the strong man's neck, and the exaggerated lines twisted under the skin like a python.

"Drink!"

He let out a roar, and Frege's eyes went dark, and he immediately felt as if his wrist was dislocated.

He took a closer look and found that the strong man had firmly grasped his wrist, followed by a sneer and a slight break——

"Click-"

Frege clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and he looked at his powerless right hand in astonishment, and he didn't feel any pain for a moment.

"Uhhh-"

Of course, all of this was only temporary. When the electric arc appeared on the mechanical exoskeleton, he finally felt the heart-piercing feeling.

That's right, the power of A and others is enough to directly destroy the armor of the mechanical exoskeleton, so the previous broadcast inside will give him a reminder.

If the opponent's abilities were to be categorized, they should belong to the "strength category" of Sequence 4. The strengthened Robert directly broke through the original upper limit of strength and reached A-level.

This is still the situation where Frege acted as soon as he discovered that he had activated the ability. The opponent's ability really needs a certain amount of time to prepare.

But maybe this person's original strength was abnormal enough, and he broke through the A rank not long after he climbed up.

Right now, Frege clearly felt that the opponent's aura was still rising, and the effect of the ability was far from reaching its limit.

It's too abnormal... This is still a level 2 ability...

"This kind of supernatural ability just looks powerful. It forcibly stimulates a power that is completely not its own. The price to pay must be at least vitality."

Noah's soft voice rang in his ears, and Frege immediately pressed the communicator by his ear with his intact left hand, "Mr. Nuoya?!"

"I'm behind you."

Frege turned around immediately and looked at Noah who was wearing a pure white battle armor with a surprised expression.

"Teacher Nuoya? Why are you here?"

"Leave it to me," Nuoya shook her head and did not continue to explain, "Guard No. [-] has unlocked the warehouse, go in and find the potion."

"Pharmaceutical?" Their voices were not deliberately lowered, and Robert in front of him could hear their conversation clearly, "Are you talking about the Gene Awakening Potion?"

"Have you not……"

Frege felt bad when he heard the words.

"That's right," Robert burst out laughing, "The potion is in my stomach now, and it's thanks to this potion that my powers have improved to a higher level. Thanks to the love of the boss, I must take it today." You little thief is pressed to death here!"

Both of them were not interested in continuing to listen to what he said later, and they failed to figure out that this potion was actually used by someone.

Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

"Let's rush out together."

Frege said with a heavy face, looking at the star thieves who kept coming up around him, he turned his head and waited for Noah's answer.

"If you lag behind, you will be punished twice when you go back."

Nuoya suddenly smiled, seeing her smile, the gloom in Frege's heart was instantly cleared away a lot.

"Okay, then you can punish as you like!"

Frege picked up the lightsaber that the previous star thief had left behind. The Krento sword was at Robert's feet, and he couldn't reach that distance.

Noah also took out a lightsaber from the armor, and the two of them pressed together back to back, Noah faced Robert, and Frege faced the constant army of star thieves.

"By the way...why are there so many star thieves in this base!"

"After all, this is their base camp. Is it strange that there are more guards?" Nuoya replied angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. If you can't resist later, push it aside and ensure your own safety. important."

"Up!"

The two rushed towards their goal at the same time. Although Frege only had one hand left, he had Nuoya behind him to back him up. That momentum made a group of star thieves afraid to fight head-on.

Most of them are here to make up the number, and there are many people who have not reached the C level in mechanical exoskeletons.

Moreover, the supply of exoskeleton armor is not unlimited. What Frege needs to deal with is actually only five or six bosses above C level.

At present, the most important battlefield is Nuoya's side, but he is very confident in his "teacher".

When Nuoya was in the fighting arena before, she would watch from the side whenever she was free. In addition to helping him count down, she would point out mistakes and room for optimization in the most appropriate way.

Compared with the explorer's notes in his mind, Noah is his indispensable helper. "Bah—"

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Noah's lightsaber was slashing directly on Robert's arm. Compared with the blow he had just now, Noah's attack was obviously more threatening.

Robert didn't hold back, this time he stretched out his hands to resist the power of the sword, and the place where the red light touched the flesh emitted bursts of white smoke from time to time.

"You're much stronger than that boy," said Robert, with a smirk on his face. "But it's naive of you to try to crush me, woman!"

"Ugh!"

He tore off the combat uniform on his body in an instant, his exaggerated chest and abdomen muscles throbbing with the frequency of his heartbeat.

"Let you see the true power of Class A power!"

His fists turned into two palms, and he patted Noah's shoulder. The latter moved lightly, and retreated a few steps to easily avoid his attack.

Robert took advantage of the trend and continued to launch a series of rapid attacks, which came with the siege of seven people in front of Frege.

"Om-"

Frege swung the lightsaber in his hand, blocked the slashing in three directions, and then dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of the other two in succession.

His single-handed strength is not as strong as before, and it is difficult for one person to resist the joint attack of three C-level mech fighters. However, at this moment, he has fully utilized the skills he learned when he first fought with the fighting doll——

He pretended to hold on and refused to back down, and when the opponent's strength reached its apex, he suddenly withdrew his hand. The three of them were caught off guard and collided with each other out of balance. mouth.

"You are still short of 199 practice sessions."

Frege didn't waste too much time with them. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the people in front of him, but just as he raised the light blade, a current flashed in his mind——

[Ability experience: 600/600, meet the upgrade conditions]

[Current ability level: 2]
