Chapter 278: Operation Explosion- Failed Successfully!

Coin, how many minutes? Miles asked in a hurry, as he ran towards the baby bear. When he arrived, he grabbed it by its neck and held it in front of him.

Only, ten. Coin reported. As soon as he did, a loud explosion was heard from the entrance of the factory, and an angry mother appeared with green wind covering its body. It looked at Miles murderously, and the baby in his hand, but didnt move.

I dont want to hurt you nor your baby, okay? Miles asked with his arms in the air, but the bear only roared. It didnt seem like it could understand Miles.

I only want those. Miles showed the cores at the corner and pointed at himself. The mother bear looked at the hard earned stash it kept for its baby, and wanted to refuse, but the baby in Miless hand whimpered again. The mother growled calmly this time to assure its baby, then looked at Miles, showing two of the claws in his paw.

You mean, you want to share fifty-fifty? Miles tried to explain, but he couldnt communicate with it. Coin, can you create a scene where I get all the cores and walk away leaving the baby and mother safe.

Sure, give me a minute. Coin reported and started to work on it. AIs could create any scene they could see through placing colors in certain order. But creating a scene that never happened would take some time. For this reason, only the cameras connected to Mother AI would be taken into account.

After Coin finished the video, he projected in the air for the bear to see. The bear looked at the video, and didnt understand, but with Miles gestures, it got the gist of it. After that, it walked to the pile of cores in the video and slashed its paw to tear it into two. Then pointed at a corner where orbs should have been, but saw none.

Bear looked around and saw obs were gathered near the entrance where it was staying. It looked at Miles and sighed. Gesturing orbs, it told Miles that he could also take all the orbs.

I already collected the orb, and will take all of them, but half of the cores are not enough. Miles shook his head, but the bear roared to show its dissatisfaction. Miles was keeping track of the time and realized it was almost time.

Okay, how about this. Miles said and gave commands to Coin. Projection changed and Miles vanished from the screen by walking behind the giant container in the factory. When the mother bear saw this it roared to show its reluctance to let Miles take its baby. But in the next scene, Miles appeared with a cloth bag and baby safe and sound in his arms. He walked to the cores and gathered half of them before leaving the baby with the mother. I will grab a bag. Okay? Miles said slowly as he started to step back slowly. He was doing his best to not make any sudden move, lest he angered the mother bear.

Roar? Mother Bear looked at Miles with its head slanted, but let him disappear behind the container. It waited for Miles to appear patiently. It waited ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute, but Miles never appeared. In projection it only took Miles five seconds to appear. The bear looked at the container absently, but next second, a tick sound was heard from the orbs it was standing closeby.

A sudden alarm was born in its mind, and it wanted to run away, but it was too late. With a giant explosion, the orbs detonated. The bear was too close to the explosion and its guard was lowered because of Miles. It never thought the man wanted to steal the orbs would make them detonate.

The explosion reached the roof of the factory, and actually blew it off. This building was a lot stronger than others, probably because the factory was manufacturing explosive products. That is why the mother bear chose that place as its nest, but its roof still exploded. It showed the potency of the bomb.

As the explosion died, Miles came back from where he was hiding. The baby bear was nowhere to be seen. Miles looked at the mother bear whimpering on the ground, and actually felt sad, but this was the law of this world. And the law had been set by monsters themselves.

Dont worry, I wont kill your baby. Miles walked to the mother bear and plunged the dagger into its brain. It went through its skull and ended its misery. Miles sighed and cut open the bear's right side of chest to remove the core. Not an orb. He sighed helplessly and went to gather other cores.

His plan was to set the trap while Alex was stalling the monster. He used the orb he found on David and set it for one hour before entering the Veil, and sneaked into the factory after Alex lured the beast away. He gathered the orbs quickly to increase the force of the bomb, after all the bomb orb was only low-tier. It was one time use orb so was stronger than low-tier orbs, but still couldnt kill a high-tier monster. Deciding hundreds of cores were more important, Miles chose to detonate all the orbs. If he still had time, he could check them and see if there was any orb useful, but sadly he didnt have time because mother bear returned before he could do so. He shouldnt have gotten caught before the trap was ready, but the whimpering baby monster gave him away and the mother returned quickly. Miles could only stall for time.

After stalling enough, he went behind the container and found the safest, furthest location from the explosion before returning. Luckily the mother bear was too injured to move and Miles was able to finish it.

At this time, Alex walked in with its body shaking madly.

You okay? Miles asked as he prepared the cloth bag.

Yeah, overused the ultimate. It is taxing at this level. Alex panted as he explained. Miles nodded in understanding and supported Alex. Ultimate was something that should have been created at the peak of Form-Rank. It was expected for Alex to feel tired after using almost an hour.

I cant use it again for at least a week. Lets grab the cores and leave. Alex said as they walked to cores. What happened to the little bear?

It is still alive. I guess I will take it as my pet. Miles grinned as Alex looked at him with a question in his eyes. Are you mad?
