Chapter 18: Black Prison, Section 9

“Pfft!” A soft sound.
A sense of alert flashed through Black Hair’s mind. In an instant, his hand moved across the control panel, and the massive mech suddenly became as agile as a monkey, darting away from its original position. Before the pirates around him could understand what was happening, three huge bone spines suddenly appeared where Black Hair had been!
“Who?”
The pirates around him immediately panicked and looked around nervously. The mech’s blood-red vision crystals emitted a red glow akin to that of hungry wolves. Soon, they noticed a mysterious figure on top of the high wall.
In an instant, a rustling sound came as numerous gun muzzles were raised simultaneously, aiming at this strange intruder.
The dark gun muzzles glowed with a cold blue light. With these pirates’ skills, firing at such a distance would likely mean even Black Hair couldn’t guarantee he’d escape unscathed. Yet the shadow on the high wall showed no sign of tension, standing firmly there and looking down at Black Hair’s group. The two blood-red crystals in the mech’s eye sockets resembled eyes from hell—cold and merciless.
After a long while, it slightly tilted its head. With a shake of its right hand, the cloak behind it rolled up, instantly covering it tightly. Then, a dry sound like metal rubbing came from within the cloak.
“Intruders, this is Black Prison. Do you want to experience what lies within?”
The voice wasn’t loud, but it was extremely cold and calm, as if those fierce blood-wolf mechs didn’t even exist. Implicitly, the aura of the shadow far surpassed that of all the pirates, subtly suppressing them. Hearing the shadow speak, Black Hair also felt a chill in his heart.
A master!
This was definitely a master!!
Although he had only seen him once and heard him speak a few words, Black Hair sensed something from his calm aura—a sense of complete control. His indifferent attitude toward the pirates wasn’t feigned; he truly didn’t care.
A single person could remain indifferent in the face of over 200 pirate mechs—what did that say?
Black Hair didn’t know, but he understood clearly: even if he were in that person’s shoes, he would never be able to disregard over 200 pirates.

“Who are you?” he asked coldly. Hei Fa also spoke, and with a wave of the giant mech’s right hand, all the Blood Wolf Pirates immediately lined up in four rows behind him. The movement was swift and precise, as if they had practiced countless times before. More than 200 mechs moved without the slightest noise.

Seeing this, the red light in the eyes of the black figure on the wall intensified.

“Marie, the chief of the Black Prison Bone Guards,” the black figure on the wall coldly declared that title, instantly causing a slight but undetectable stir among the pirates below.

The chief of the Bone Guards? Didn’t that mean he was the highest authority here? On Black Prison Planet, the Bone Guards were like gods, and their leader, even if there were other officials above him, essentially held control over the fate of tens of thousands of people in the entire prison—true masters of life and death.

However, it was said that the Bone Guards despised trickery and schemes, adhering to the principle that the strong ruled. Could this black figure be…

A cold glint flashed in Hei Fa’s eyes as he instinctively gripped the control handle tighter.

As expected. Although his plan had encountered some problems, a chief had appeared right before him. If he could get this man under control, obtaining a few prisoners shouldn’t be difficult. Moreover, from what he knew, though Black Prison Planet was a place where humans imprisoned criminals, its management was lax, and it had long become the home of the Bone Guards themselves.

Thinking this, the corner of Hei Fa’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hidden smile. Without even greeting them, he pushed the control handle hard. A roar erupted from behind the giant mech, and its massive body rose like a small mountain, charging straight at the black figure on the high wall!!

Attacking when the enemy was unprepared—Hei Fa had no such rules. If he wanted to take you down, now, while you were still talking, was the perfect opportunity!!

A purple wake swept up huge clouds of dust. In just an instant, the enormous mech covered nearly a hundred meters, appearing right beside the black figure. Its crimson cape whipped like a tornado, and a steel hand shot out from the middle, appearing right in front of the black figure!!

With Hei Fa’s tactics, once his mech made contact, no matter how strong the enemy’s armor was, it would surely explode and disintegrate. And the black figure’s protection was nothing but some bone armor. The Blood Wolf Pirates below cheered loudly, as if they could already see the chief of the Bone Guards being torn to pieces!!

But in an instant, their cheers ceased abruptly, as all the pirates widened their eyes in disbelief. For they witnessed the most bizarre scene imaginable. The black figure was about to be captured by the black-haired man, yet somehow, through some unknown method, its massive body simply flickered and suddenly turned into a burst of black mist, vanishing instantly before the black-haired man. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind arose; the black mist dispersed and reformed, condensing once again behind the black-haired man into that terrifying figure. Oh, God! Were we watching a fantasy novel? All the pirates rubbed their eyes fiercely, unable to believe what they had seen. Such a large armored figure instantly turning into formless black mist, evading attacks before reforming—this technique clearly surpassed even the capabilities of the magic civilization. Even the most experienced pirates had never seen such a bizarre method. If even mechs could turn into formless black mist, what attack could possibly harm them? Could it be that the Bone Guards were truly invincible? Unlike the pirates below, the black-haired man had no such concerns. As the main attacker, he knew better than the onlookers just how terrifying his opponent was. Without a moment’s hesitation, his fingers flew across the control panel. The cloak behind the mech suddenly burst open with a loud noise, and as crimson fragments flew everywhere, countless missiles shot out from within!! Normaclan missiles!! Those tiny warheads were like a swarm of angry wasps, covering an area of hundreds of meters the moment they appeared. These tiny devices, embodying the pinnacle of Normaclan technology, were so deadly that there was no chance to dodge them. In an instant, all the pirates saw nothing but swirling shadows and heart-shattering screams. “Boom, boom, boom…” Explosions rang out one after another. Under everyone’s eyes, continuous explosions erupted on the high walls. Puffs of smoke rose like flowers, spreading along the walls. Wherever the explosions occurred, pieces of the hard aluminum walls flew everywhere, falling like rain. Seeing such power, the pirates’ cheers resounded once more, but the black-haired man’s frown deepened. The reason was simple—the explosions of those missiles defied all logic.

If they had hit their target, these missiles should have exploded concentrated at one point. But instead, the explosions kept occurring in succession along the walls—what does this indicate? It means someone is evading the missiles, and those successive explosions are caused by the missiles that missed their targets! “No good!!” The black-haired man’s pupils contracted sharply as he suddenly thought of a highly bizarre idea. Without hesitation, he began typing rapidly on the keyboard. The giant mech rushed forward without looking back, spinning in mid-air as it moved at high speed. With a loud noise, countless eggs-sized pellets instantly filled every inch of space behind it! The power of those pellets was terrifying; in an instant, a layer of the wall seemed to be torn away by an invisible force, with debris flying everywhere. Amid the smoke, a pitch-black cloak, riddled with holes, suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes. It was the cloak of Manager Mari!? That thought flashed through the pirates’ minds, but before they could react, a mass of black mist appeared in the direction the black-haired mech was moving, swallowing it up! In the blink of an eye, the high wall was empty—no trace of the fierce battle remained. The mysterious Bone Guard Manager and the giant black-haired mech had vanished without a trace. If it weren’t for the debris still falling like rain, the pirates might have thought the battle was just an illusion!! Impossible!!! The pirates cried out in shock and immediately panicked. They couldn’t believe that the situation had changed so drastically in such a short time. Their proud leader, the invincible black-haired man, had simply disappeared? Panic quickly turned into anger. Without the black-haired man’s restraint, the pirates’ hidden ferocity erupted. With a rustling sound, all the Blood Wolf Mechs opened their backpacks, took out shiny crystals, and installed them on the flight devices above their shoulders. Soon, with a loud roar, hundreds of mechs took off and rushed toward the high wall!! If you dare to kidnap our leader, then let you see just how terrifying pirates can be when they lose their minds!! Let these Bone Guards know what kind of terrifying weapon mechs powered by Cemex ore can be!! Amid the roar, the high wall rushed past beneath their feet, and the pirates finally saw the true face of Black Prison…

“What’s that!?”
