Gargoyle Supremacy-Chapter 65: I’m Invading ECD Facility! It Feels Weird When I Breach the Containments From Outside, But I Should Make This a Video Game One Day.

Gawain might not have Carn’s speed, but his new physique was a fortress of endurance. Railgun rounds and corrosive mana-acid bullets ricocheted off his gold armor, which was blessed by the knight’s holy power. With a sweeping horizontal swing of his golden sword, Gawain unleashed a devastating attack like a beat-them-up character in a video game unleashing his ultimate Musou strike.

The air screamed as a blade of wind surged outward, slicing everything in its path. Ten cyborgs were bisected. Their upper torsos were flung backward by the shockwave, and they crashed into the wall with a metallic clang, leaving deep dents where they hit. Behind them, more cyborgs staggered under the force, their formation thrown into disarray.

The shockwave didn’t stop there. It shattered the reinforced glass of the observation deck, cracked security monitors, and shocked operators in their stations. For a brief moment, the CCTV feed blinked out, rendering Carn invisible to their watchful eyes.

Carn didn’t hesitate. Sensing the disruption, he vanished, reappearing inside the observation room. Ten men in military uniforms didn’t even notice his arrival.

CRACK!

CRACK!

In seconds, chaos erupted. Carn moved like a shadow, snapping 10 necks in one second. The lifeless bodies slumped to the floor.

Carn surveyed the fallen officers. Extending his hand, he poured 100 marks of Aether into the corpses. A moment later, the bodies jerked and transformed into imposing gargoyles. Rising like zombies, they looked at Carn, waiting for his commands.

Carn addressed them with a commanding tone. "Search for the command rooms or operator rooms. Kill everyone you find, especially soldiers."

The gargoyles, inheriting fragments of their hosts’ memories, moved in unison. Without hesitation, they marched toward the underground emergency railway, ready to carry out their task.

With his new minions dispatched, Carn turned his focus elsewhere. He concentrated and spent a gold mark to establish a mental link with Rosa.

"Inquisitor, I need help. Come find me."

At first, there was no response, but within moments, a radiant flash filled the room. Rosa, in her priestess statue form, teleported in and stood tall before Carn.

"I’m here, master. But… wow! You reek of blood and sin! I could actually turn you into stone, but it seems you’re already ROCK HARD!"

Carn ignored her puns. "Go find ECD-8888 or the ’geezer’ you mentioned. If ECD-7 or someone useful is nearby, bring them too. We’re leaving this place."

"Ehhh?" Rosa pouted, reluctant to leave her precious Aether farm behind. With a frustrated sigh, she teleported deeper into the facility.

Carn redirected his attention to Gawain, who stood amidst the remnants of the cyborgs he had destroyed. The air was thick with a green mist, which was leaking from a chemical substance. Carn teleported to the room and scanned the scene.

Shattered CCTV cameras littered the floor, and the once-pristine area was now a battlefield. He crouched beside a severed torso, yanking a broken green cylinder from its body. Inside, a viscous liquid glowed like molten mercury. Carn inspected it and called out to Gawain, who had just finished dispatching the last cyborg.

"As a former undead, have you seen this before?"

Gawain approached. His fiery eyes studied the substance, but he shook his head. "No, I’ve never encountered anything like it."

Carn sighed, "Looks like we’ll need that ’geezer’ to tell us more. You’ve met him before, right? What kind of person is he?"

Gawain nodded but suddenly tensed, turning toward the room’s entrance. Carn also felt the approaching of twenty heavily armed cyborgs.

Without hesitation, Carn vanished and reappeared in the middle of the advancing formation. With surgical precision, he ripped the heads off three cyborgs in a blur of motion.

But he miscalculated. The headless cyborgs didn’t collapse. Instead, their bodies moved independently, two of them firing corrosive bullets at his chest. But again, they did nothing to him. The remaining cyborgs leaped back, recalibrating their strategy and locking onto him.

Before Carn could react further, the steel door of the room exploded outward. Gawain emerged from the wreckage like a villain in a horror movie. The electric currents from the shattered door cracked around him.

He stepped into the fray with a menacing step while he dragged his gold sword. Without breaking stride, he swung his golden sword upward, slicing a cyborg cleanly in half from groin to head.

The remaining cyborgs turned their weapons on Gawain. Their gunfire illuminated the narrow hallway with bursts of light.

That was their mistake.

The bullets that struck Gawain bounced off his armor, harmless. He moved with calculated brutality, cleaving through the formation with wide, sweeping strikes. Each swing of his sword sent shockwaves through the corridor, throwing cyborgs against the walls and reducing their frames to twisted scrap metal.

Carn, now freed from their focus, smirked as he joined the battle.

Together, the two carved through the remaining cyborgs, turning the hallway into a graveyard of shattered machines.

Without exchanging a word, Carn and Gawain employed a battle formation. Gawain took the vanguard, embodying the role of a DPS tank, absorbing blows while dishing out devastating attacks. Behind him, Carn adopted the role of an assassin, darting in and out of the shadows to exploit openings.

However, their strategy shifted whenever Carn’s presence was exposed. He immediately took on a tanking role and allowed Gawain to unleash his full offensive might.

After an hour of progression through the maze-like facility, soldiers, and cyborgs, arrived at the imposing gate labeled "Section A." This area was the nerve center, where the facility’s elite personnel operated. It also boasted the tightest security measures with reinforced barriers and layers of automated defenses.

Carn inspected the gate and glanced at Gawain, who nodded and walked toward the console next to the door. He then injected his Aether into the device, frying it.

The massive gate trembled and automatically rose, opening a path for both entities. However, as soon as they walked to the other side, they found a formation of sentry cannons, machine guns, and more cyborgs.

"This gonna take a while," Carn complained.
