Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 203: I Will Take The Boys

While walking with Merlin, Quinn, Helez, and soldiers of the Cross faction, Coin reported to Miles what he discovered from the necklace.

There isn't much information stored in the necklace. But I know the general information about the Apollo Race. Coin started and gave brief information, Newborn babies are as strong as adult humans. When they are in their early teens, their strength is close to the peak of the human limit. Those who train hard and reach their limits are stronger than a human with G-3 Strengthening Serum.

They start to use Strengthening Serums from G-2 after maxing their innate potentials and are able to use energy before they reach F-Tier. Although they still have to wait to enter F-Tier before condensing seed and creating an ultimate, they are stronger than humans overall.

In the mind department on the other hand they are as weak as they can be. They are not bright and thinking isnt their forte. There is a slave race with weak bodies and great thinking prowess under them helping them with their technology. Although at first, they were purely slaves, with the intervention of a third alien race, their terms got a lot better.

Other than these, there is an art that was created for their race. Its name is Seven Finger Death Punch! Energy circulation and postures dont suit humans.

He must have deleted the critical information from the necklace or he never cared about anything else. He was a warrior after all. Miles pondered. The art Seven Finger Death Punch is not bad, but it doesnt fit me. I also have the Exaltedness of the Creator and Moon Essence. Although arts dont conflict with each other, I cannot practice them all.

At the first level, it is still fine, but starting from F-Tier, when I circulate energy, arts are going to be at odds. Still, if I have to go with Body Branch, Exaltedness of the Creator and Moon Essence wouldnt suit it. If I have to name them, Seven Finger Death Punch is more suitable for the Body, while Moon Essence is for the Mind Branch. For Heart, Cross has Royal Blood Art that I refused to practice before because of Grandpa, but my talk with father changed my opinion. Exaltedness of the Creator on the other hand fits the mystic branch perfectly.

I will try to practice Seven Finger Death Punch to see if I can tweak it for five fingers. Miles thought as they reached the closest stronghold. Miles and Merlin were still in the rural area east of Unity, so it wasnt suitable for them to take the body. But, Helez would appear in the headquarters, thus also wouldnt be appropriate for them to take the body there.

Let one of the soldiers return Unity and take the Dimensional Device from our mansion. When he appears here once again, he can take it to our house directly. Miles suggested.

Brilliant idea. In the meantime, we can look after the body. Merlin approved with his eyes shining.

It will not be necessary. No one in this stronghold can take something from me. Helez shook her head and said, You two should return to the capital. I reckon things will go sideways.

Alright, lets do that. Merlin nodded and left the portal world through the dimensional device. Miles trotted behind Merlin and both appeared in the army compound they used to enter the portal world before. But as Miles appeared, he realized there were twice more soldiers around suspiciously eying them.

Words got out pretty quick, eh? Miles looked at Merlin.

Merlin had a frown on his face, but it turned into a smile pretty quick. Interesting.

What is? Miles asked with surprise?

I chose this base when we went to Portal World because the commander of this base is neutral. She never sided with any other generals but was keeping the balance as the highest commander in the East.

But now, soldiers are eying us, probably won't let us leave the stronghold before they make sure we dont have anything dangerous for Earth! Merlin explained with a smile. Not long after, a soldier with stars on his shoulders walked towards them and said, Lieutenant General wants to see you.

The Lieutenant-General was a rank below General of the Army, namely Mercer Cross and the other two. There were five in total positioned on four sides of the unity and one in the center. There were more than twenty army bases at the east border of the Unity where Merlin and Miles were, but Merlin chose this one because Lieutenant General was neutral. But now, she wanted to keep them for searching?

Sure, lead the way. Merlin smiled and followed after the man. Miles also followed them. The aide took them to the top floor of the compound. In front of the giant double-framed door, the aide knocked it and informed inside about their arrival. An authoritative voice ordered them to walk in.

Merlin opened the door and saluted the person inside, Lieutenant general, Merlin Cross, Colonel of the 27th Special Task Squad, in your order, maam!

Miles looked at the person in an army suit. Despite baggy clothes hiding her figure, Miles could see her frame was muscular and her face was beautiful. But the first thing drawing attention to wasn't her figure nor face but her aura demanding respect.

Lieutenant General, Miles Cross in your order, maam! Miles saluted as well. He wasnt in the army nor was he listed. He didnt have to salute in army style, but he did to show his respect.

At ease. She said while walking from the desk. She looked at the duo and asked, What happened to the alien's body?

It is not with us, Lieutenant General. We left the portal world so we can return home. Merlin respectfully answered as he showed the insides of his hands.

Then you wouldnt mind if I take you to medbay, to see if you are carrying any diseases. After all, that alien may have planted a virus on your body. We wouldnt want a tragedy such as the last one to occur again, do we now? She frowned and looked at the duo.

I do mind, to be honest. Merlin smiled and pointed at the sky from the window behind the Lieutenant General. There, a dot could be seen high in the sky. After a few seconds, the dot got bigger and bigger. In less than a minute, it turned into a jet plane. My uncle is here, so if you need anything to be checked, he should be the one. You wouldnt mind now, would you? Merlin fired back her question with a smirk.

Lieutenant General looked at Merlin with a frown but didnt say anything else. The jet plane arrived in no time and Adam lifted off from the plane with soldiers at both sides. They move to the top floor to pick Miles and Merlin. Hannah, I am here to check my nephews. Adam walked in without any reservation. Hannah, the Lieutenant General, snorted lightly and didnt answer at all.

Seems fine. Adam checked them with his powers and concluded them to be okay. We will take our leave now.

Do we have a place for a car, or should I have someone to drive it? Merlin asked. Adam nodded and they took off with the jet plane.
