V.56 Forgotten
BOOM!!... despite the unwillingness of Arc and his party to fight this disgusting faithless in the end because of their number the droids wasn't able to stop all of them, at first only one or two was able to slip by, and they were quickly killed even before they come close to them, but soon because of the increasing strength more and more was able to slip the droids, but Arc still didn't summon the rest of the droids because one reason is that the remaining droids are not like the rest the last 30,000 droids are specially made droids and even though they are still considered 1-star they very close to being 2-star in power and rightly so because this last 30,000 is far more expensive than all 70,000 1-star droids, in fact, the resources and energy units he spends making them is enough to make another 100k droid, without any problem.
And yet despite that, these 30k droids were necessary for their survival on this planet. At least that's what he felt. And even now that thinking didn't change in other words these last 30k droids can be considered the best a 1-star Cybernetic Armed Factory can make.
And so he wasn't willing to reveal it unless he was forced to. But looking at his party despite their unwillingness none of them shows it when they started fighting. Especially the smallest one of them the cutest grim reaper in the universe Lilly, who using her broad sword several times bigger than her, wiping several faithless in a single swing that not even Arc manages to do.
In other words, Arc was mistaken when he thought he was the strongest one in his party. In fact, Arc saw Lilly fight several times and knows that she was strong, but he thinks he was still stronger, but what Arc didn't factor was Lilly was unable to fight stronger opponents, and she only uses strength enough to destroy her opponents, and so, in fact, Lilly strength is far more than Arc and anyone of his party. In fact even if and his whole party joins together they will never defeat Lilly the same as they can never put a dent in the Mansion type sovereign tools that was Lilly's true body.
After all, Lilly was created by Adam and Eve combined power. When they are still together back when Eve wasn't under God's controls.
Back when the forgotten was first imprisoned and found the old house of Adam and Eve. They use everything of their power to destroy it only to leave disappointed as they are unable to put a scratch to it. This was one of their greatest failures besides being imprisoned. Of course, the fact that Eden was modified to imprison them also played a big part in it, after all, Eden was modified to continuously absorb energy from the forgotten to keep them from breaking out weakening them continuously. And when they are imprisoned they are already weakened but despite that to be able to survive without a single scratch from the attacks of the forgotten speaks of Lilly's strength and durability. And unlike the forgotten Lilly was continuously getting stronger as time goes by. It is also fortunate to the forgotten that Lilly being ownerless at that time was unable to go out of the mansion to fight them otherwise it will an interesting fight.
Arc found out that despite the rotten look of the faithless their durability was actually very strong it took him several swings to completely cut the faithless. Which surprise him a lot. Of course, if he used his energy power it will be a different story.
And as they continue to fight, their battle also reveals their existence to the HOC. After all, their warbots are very different from the droids, and despite looking mechanical like the droids, the warbots are bigger and stronger than the droids despite being at the same level of 1-star.
The truth is the warbots are closed to being 2-star, and the power of the person controlling it is adding to their strength making the warbots very strong.
And soon as they appear the cardinals immediately see them. Making them focus on their party, or specifically on the strongest member of their party Lilly. She was simply eye-catching a foot-long fairy caring a sword as big as a human and with a single swing can kill several faithless in one go.
Anyone seeing her would be surprised. In fact, the appearance of Lilly started a debate among the cardinals watching who are debating what kind of creatures Lilly is, after all, she was the only one looking made of flesh and blood and alive among the sea of machines and faithless.
"Eve, how far are we to the vault?" asked Arc.
"Not far Boss just a few hundred meters away from my calculated location of the vault."
"Just beyond those buildings" Eve pointed to some buildings ahead of them.
Arc nodded, "How's the evacuation progress of the slaves?"
All done boss they are all now inside the storage facility inside Specter, the Celeste is now taking care of them and removing all the restrictions placed on them.
Arc nodded. That's another weight off his shoulder the other thing is that the number of faithless are starting to slow down, but in turns, their strength is getting stronger. But as he can see it's still within the capability of the droids despite losing close to one thousand. The 60k+ droids are doing very well despite him not summoning his secret weapon. Making him sigh in relief.
And as soon as he thinks of it he felt another rambling and this one is stronger than the first when the faithless was first released. Followed by a loud roar and a burst of energy. He immediately stops running and looks back to where the massive energy is coming from.
He can feel it like a wind brushing his whole body. And knew that was bad news. In fact the cardinals and the pope especially the pope who is looking at where the massive energy is coming from and his face is pale. "It was too soon," the pope mumbles. He didn't expect that one of the forgotten to be waking up already. In other words, the droids are so good at killing the faithless that all the reserve of faithless was already out and that leads to the first of the forgotten faithless to wake up.
The pope looks at the time, and it wasn't even an hour yet a forgotten is already waking up, and what's next? Those things would be waking up soon too and that means only one thing for all of them. Death!!
