Longsword Armorers were rare among armorers because longswords were light weapons, and it would be difficult to use them to launch single fatal blows against the Bugs during battles. As such, no armorer would use a longsword as a weapon, unless they reached the pinnacle of armorers.

However, why would a normal armorer give up the weapon he had been using after reaching the pinnacle and restudy Longsword Mastery again? That would waste plenty of time and energy.

Only the mercenary, Captain Feroman, would resort to all means to accumulate his wealth and increase his strength because he had reached the pinnacle of armorers a long time ago. It was not that he wanted to fight Bugs, but rather, he wanted to fight armorers more conveniently. As a result, he chose to delve into Longsword Mastery.

David, who had received the Longsword Mastery Knowledge Orbs from Captain Feroman, had since obtained all the standards he ought to have in Longsword Mastery.

“A genius indeed!” Daley swallowed some saliva and said wryly.

Maron had been a little dismissive when he said that David was a genius previously. Although he could not become an armorer, he was stronger than the vast majority of ordinary people.

He was just like Jim, who did not have the ability to get into the university’s armorer program but refused to give up and thus, used his family connections to keep sharpening his skills in a bid to become an armorer through constant practice.

Although the journey to becoming an armorer was several times harder than that of becoming a sergeant during college, the military was full of examples that inspired them.

However, for the first time, he felt the massive difference between him and a true genius today. They were worlds apart.

None of the three said that David had achieved an impressive feat only because of the Level 2 Longsword that he had. In the face of a siege of more than 20 Bug larvae, they would have been pierced by the spikes that hindered their vision without a powerful Longsword Mastery.

If any of the three of them had a Level 2 Longsword, they still would not be able to withstand the siege of such a large number of larvae.

The battle turned into a massacre, and David felt the thrill of the battle. Compared to the visions that he saw through a screen, the real battle made his whole body feel soothed, and he exerted his power to the fullest.

In fact, due to the fact that the Bug larvae were too small and weak, he used plenty of cold weapon techniques when using his Longsword during the battle.

However, Jim, Daley, and De Quincy were not real armorers yet. Hence, they could not quite understand David’s movements. Otherwise, they would definitely discover David’s special combat style.

The killing intent that had been pent up within him was also being released, making his twin swords even more murderous.

When the heavy-armored hovercar arrived at their side, the battle had already ended.

Except for the boulder where Jim and the other two were on, everything within 10 meters around them was dyed green by the blood of the Bug larva, and the smell of blood was mixed with the stench of the Bug larvae.

David snapped out of his focused battle state. He couldn’t believe it himself as he looked at the Bug larvae carcasses all over the ground.

Before he arrived in this world, he was still an ordinary person. However, in less than a month, he actually managed to face a large number of Bug larva carcasses without feeling any semblance of discomfort.

That was different from that day when he shot Mr. Strat using a long-range sniper cannon. This was melee combat, and although he wasn’t facing a human, it was actually much bloodier.

Sensing the Shadow Servant in the sky, he knew that it was all because of the transformation the Shadow Servant had brought him.

After snapping out of his emotions, David looked at the twin swords in his hand, which were glowing with luminous blue light. They were not stained with the green blood of larvae, and accordingly, there was no need to wipe them. He gently placed them back into their sheaths on his back.

“Jim, I’m late!” Sergeant Boris apologized while he was jumping out of the heavy-armored hovercar with his first aid kit.

It was supposedly his duty to keep them safe, but the Bug larvae surprisingly attacked from below the ground, making his heavy machine gun inoperative. Even when the twenty or so Bug larvae broke out of the ground, he did not fire the machine gun at will for fear of accidentally injuring others due to the visual hindrance caused by the dust.

“Hurry and treat De Quincy’s wounds!” Jim hurriedly called out without saying anything else.

Sergeant Boris tied a tourniquet over De Quincy’s wound and then injected a syringe of liquid into his body.

“I’ve injected De Quincy with a disinfectant agent. The poison from the Bug larva spikes won’t affect him for a short time, but I can only stop the pain and bleeding of his wounds. We must send him back for treatment!” Sergeant Boris said after completing the first aid treatment within just a minute.

“I’m fine. We gained a lot this time, so hurry up and pack your loot. I can still hang in there!” De Quincy said as he forced out a smile.

At this moment, the heavy-armored hovercar was right next to them, ready to replenish their ammunition at any time. Besides, they had the menacing firepower of the two heavy machine guns, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Of course, the most reassuring thing for all of them was David’s presence since he could easily kill all twenty or so bug larvae in a situation that cropped up all of a sudden.

“Sergeant Boris, help De Quincy into the car first. David, please be on guard while I clean up the place with Daley!” said Jim who was not excusing himself, but rather, they had to follow the rules since they were outside. Hence, he had to recover the spoils.

De Quincy was wounded, and the credit points needed for his treatment should be paid for with the battle spoils gained from this operation. They also had to cover the expenses of the damaged guns and so on.

Safety was the most important, and now that their safety was guaranteed, of course, the costs had to be recovered.

Jim and Daley cut the Bug larva corpses quickly with their daggers to sever them, after which they stowed the strengthened meat away in their pockets.

It seemed that there were no larvae in that area at all because David had killed all the larvae within or because his menacing butchering had spooked them.

Just as the few of them were about to get into the car, they saw Maron striding over with the Eye of Death replica in their hands.

“Maron, why didn’t you wait where you were? Why did you just come over? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” Jim barked as he glared at Maron.

“Jim, I haven’t seen a single larva in the entire two-kilometer radius around me today, except on your side!” Maron argued without taking his words to heart.

“Get in the car first!” Jim commanded with a wave of his hand as soon as he heard that.

Actually, they had not been out for long this time. They were only there for about tens of minutes. When they returned to the Southern Gate, a group of crows was driving vehicles out.

Upon entering the city wall, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief after breaking the silence.

“Something is very amiss today!” Without waiting for everyone to get out of the car, Jim stopped them from alighting and spoke in a low voice.

“Sergeant Boris, have you ever seen Bug larvae behaving like this?” Daley asked as he turned to Sergeant Boris who was in the driver’s seat.

“No!” Sergeant Boris answered affirmatively.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but after we separated from David, the larvae stopped attacking us. Instead, all of them went for David!” De Quincy said as he began to think and analyze since his wound had been medicated and did not hurt much anymore.

“Yes, I was worried that the larvae would rush up to the rocks at that time, but they ignored the three of us!” Daley said as he nodded in agreement.

Everyone turned to look at David and his jacket. They then thought about the things that happened before they left the city.

“It has something to do with the water!” Jim said in a sullen voice.

“Find him. How dare he get up to these tricks in front of us!” Daley said in a harsh and stern voice as his eyes glinted coldly.

“Sergeant Boris, let De Quincy stay with the military medics while I go check the surveillance cameras. Find the guy who harmed us!” Jim instructed Sergeant Boris.

Jim, Maron, David, and Daley jumped out of the car while Sergeant Boris drove off with De Quincy first.

Jim summoned a soldier and handed two pouches to him. He did not have to worry about the processing of the strengthened meat. There was a collection point in the military, and after the deduction of the rental fees, the credit point balance would be transferred to Jim’s account.

“David, almost all of the spoils belong to you this time, but the expenses of the tour and De Quincy’s treatment have to be deducted first before the rest can be handed over to me!” Jim was afraid that David might get the wrong idea. Hence, he explained it to him after the soldier left.

David nodded. Although he preferred fresh strengthened meat, he also knew that everything had to be done according to the rules.

Fresh strengthened meat worked better than processed strengthened meat. However, he could not finish the fresh strengthened meat all at once. It would still lose its effectiveness in the end, so David didn’t really care about that.

Jim was glad to see that David had agreed. He was also pleased with David’s attitude. Despite being powerful, David was not arrogant. Thus, he was a good choice for a friend.
