Chapter 1332
The Augment’s face remained completely expressionless.
No pain. No hesitation.
Like a monster that simply didn’t understand the concept of physical suffering.
It spun around and launched an even more ferocious, frenzied assault on Serena. Serena executed a series of rapid backflips, putting distance between them.
As she landed, her gaze turned somber.
It didn’t work. The fatal strike to the back of the neck was completely ineffective.
It seemed the Obsidian Dark Web had rapidly perfected the Augments’ genetic sequence. They had repaired and reinforced all the fatal flaws that were previously exposed.
Judging from the creature’s attack speed, rapid bone regeneration, and terrifying neurological responses, this was no longer the standard incomplete prototype she had faced before.
This was infinitely close to the final, perfected product.
To be able to patch up those weaknesses to this extent in such a short amount of time… Serena could only imagine how many horrific experiments the Obsidian Dark Web had conducted in secret. How many innocent lives had they sacrificed to pave this bloody road?
Inside the VIP suite.
Mordecai watched the monitor as Serena’s strike to the neck completely failed, forcing her to retreat.
He could no longer contain his joy. The dark cloud over his face instantly vanished as he erupted into manic laughter. “Heh, heh, heh p>
His shoulders shook as he laughed, his eyes overflowing with malicious triumph. “Serena, Serena… you’re still far too naive p>
Mordecai stared intently at the screen, his tone dripping with smug mockery. “Since we already knew the weaknesses of the incomplete Undead Legion, why wouldn’t we fix them p>
“The Augments you face now aren’t the same trash you dealt with before p>
“These are the Apex Augments p>
“No weaknesses. No fatigue. Bodies of steel p>
“No matter how good of a fighter you are, Serena, you’re still just a human made of flesh and blood p>
“You can dodge once, ten times, a hundred times, but as time drags on, your stamina will eventually run out p>
“And when that happens,” he
pressed his tongue against his teeth, his smile turning brutally cruel, it’ll be nothing but a one-sided Slaughter
Mordecai grew more exhilarated with every word. Watching Serena’s cold, beautiful face on the screen, his gaze twisted into something. deeply unhinged.
“Oh, right. Since you want to play games p>
“I’ll be merciful and make this game a little more interesting p>
With that, he lazily reached out and pressed a concealed red button near his hand.
Inside Apex Simulation Pod 10.
Serena was currently evading the Augment’s strikes.
Suddenly, a low hum echoed from the base of the metal wall. A hidden door slid open silently.
Four more massive, grotesquely muscled High-Tier Variants crawled out of the dark passage.
Their frames were even more
imposing than the first one. Their
muscles bulged like tightly packed
slabs of concrete, with thick, dark veins Crisscrossing under their skin. They looked like terrifying abominations stitched together from nightmares.
Four of them.
Along with the first one, that made a total of five Apex Augments.
Standing before the monitor, Mordecai let out a low, sinister sneer. “All five of them are Apex Augments p>
“Their speed and strength are ten times greater than the incomplete versions p>
“They have absolutely zero weaknesses p>
“Let’s see how you play this game now, Serena p>
Pure malice practically spilled from his eyes.
Meanwhile, inside Pod 10.
The five Apex Augments simultaneously locked their sights onto Serena. Slowly,
they fanned out, completely encircling her.
