Poverty makes me capable of anything.

That was clearly a giant arm.

"What the hell?"

A surge of psionic energy danced around his arm like a raging thunderbolt. Even before the arm reached him, the man felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Danger.

A voice inside him told him that the gap between them was too great, and he had to get away immediately!

As a person who follows their heart.

Sensing something was wrong, he immediately darted to the right.

Swift as lightning.

But what he never expected was that the Dragon Knight Guardian's palm strike was just an appetizer; a huge mechanical dragon tail was waiting for him ahead.

The cold blue "lightning" flickered incessantly, and even the void trembled under the sweep of the dragon's tail.

That was an even more powerful dragon tail sweep.

With a flick of the wrist, a barrier of death is erected.

"How come there are still some here!"

The man slammed on the brakes, and hurriedly tried to turn around and run away.

"It's too late!"

The Dragon Knight Guardian unleashed a palm strike that formed over a dozen mad wolves, which howled as they charged toward the man.

Amidst the constant swaying, the Dragon Knight Guardian flashed forward and clenched his right hand tightly.

After the commotion subsided, the man was already in the grasp of the Dragon Knight Guardian.

"burst!"

The man struggled violently, his head tilted back, his mouth open, screaming silently in the vacuum.

"I'll blow your head off."

An Ran slid happily off the Dragon Knight Guardian's shoulder, pulled out a large hammer, and delivered a merciless blow to the man's head.

Although An Ran's strength attribute is only 1682 points, and even with the combat suit's bonus, it's only 1782 points. However, it's important to remember that she recently used Void Descent to pull the panda back to her side. With the panda's 30% attribute boost, An Ran's strength is approaching 2400. It's also worth considering that due to the 10-level difference, An Ran suppressed her target's attributes by 30%.

Therefore, even if no skill was used, An Ran's hammer strike dealt a basic attack damage of -47800, leaving the man bleeding from the head and dizzy.

In the blink of an eye, negative buffs such as "Bleeding," "Confusion," "Concussion," and "Moderate Hallucination" appeared after the name.

An Ran put the hammer away, carefully wiping away the blood that was stuck to it. Then, she reached out with her right hand and grabbed the man's collar.

"Now that I've caught you, are you still so arrogant?"

All Anran could hear was heavy breathing.

She didn't seem to care and continued, "What exactly is the purpose of that Primal Extractor? Who gave it to you? What do you intend to do with the Primal Liquid?"

After waiting a few seconds and seeing that her prisoner still didn't speak, An Ran directly poured some boiling water on him.

Normal temperature water is not enough to deal with this level 180 Star Slayer.

If it weren't for Tsukiya watching from nearby, Anran would have already summoned the Crimson King to give this prisoner a lava feast.

"what--"

The prisoner screamed and finally came to his senses.

The [Confusion] status has been temporarily lifted, but other buffs remain stubbornly in place.

He looked closely and found himself standing in front of a flat, thick wall (an illusion).

The key point is that the wall also has a hand, firmly gripping his collar.

It turns out it was the Mechanical Spirits who did it!

No wonder he can so skillfully control two terrifying-looking mechanical monsters!

"Oh shit!"

He cursed under his breath.

Logically speaking, the powerful Mechanical Spirit Clan and the Giant Spirit Clan have no connection whatsoever, so why did they get involved in this matter?

If he's lucky enough to escape, he'll definitely take his revenge on those monsters one day.

"I'm asking you a question."

An Ran repeated her question again.

The prisoner shouted, "Do you think I'm someone who gives in so easily?"

"Since you won't talk, I'll kill you now. Anyway, the others probably already know the situation, I'll just ask them."

An Ran once again held the same hammer.

She calculated that one hammer blow could deal more than 4 damage, and she could kill him after about 80 blows.

However, considering that bosses generally have a low-health burst damage template.

"I'm afraid it would take 160 blows to kill you," An Ran said, eager to try.

"Wait!" The prisoner immediately shook his head. "This is probably not a good idea. After my brother died, I'm the only one who knows the most details about these things. If you ask them, you'll probably miss a lot of details. So, for the sake of the future, you should just ask me directly. It will not only save you time and effort, but you'll also get more detailed information."

"..."

An Ran's hand holding the hammer trembled slightly.

Of all the people arrested, he's the only one who begged for mercy in such a refreshingly unconventional way!

"Boom!"

The hammer struck the dragon knight guardian's body.

The shock made the prisoners' bodies tremble.

This hammer is quite heavy.

Do you have any left on you?

An Ran's voice came through the communication channel.

The prisoner quickly shook his head: "Brother Wall, I don't smoke."

smokes?

No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is the title An Ran heard.

Brother Wall?

What the heck?

墙？

Are you insulting me?

An Ran raised the hammer.

The man's expression changed drastically: "No, no, no, how could I dare to curse you? No, I mean I'm a civilized person. I've never cursed anyone since I can remember. How could I possibly curse someone?"

"Heh..." An Ran sneered, but she didn't put the hammer down again. "I'm asking if you still have the Primal Extractor on you."

"There are some."

"where?"

"On the subspace storage device I wear on my waist."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small button slowly rose up in front of An Ran, as the dragon knight's protective fist twitched.

Inside were four primordial extractors and six light yellow glass tubes containing the primordial liquid.

【tool】

[Primal Extractor]

[Note: The Primal Extractor is a product of fusion technology incorporating Forerunner civilization technology. Due to its unstable internal structure, it can be used as a pinpoint weapon.]

[Function: Capable of extracting the vital factors of carbon-based life]

After reading the item panel of the Primal Extractor, An Ran remained silent for a moment.

The term "targeted lethal weapon" is indeed full of flaws, but upon further reflection, for pioneers who can swing star trails and smash into galaxies, calling a Primal Extractor with a strike radius of thousands of kilometers a targeted lethal weapon doesn't seem wrong.

Most notably, this thing incorporates technology from the Forerunner civilization!

To the best of Enron's knowledge, no force has ever claimed to have mastered the technology of the Forerunners.

Even the mighty Eternal Star Path.

Of course, it's possible that Eternal Star Road deliberately didn't reveal this to the outside world; perhaps this is their trump card.

"This thing..."

An Ran shook the silver spike in her hand.

"Who did you get it from?"

The prisoner explained, "It's the conglomerate that hired us."

"Ok?"

An Ran frowned.

"Weren't you hired by a branch of the Giant Spirit Clan that was in disarray?"

"These two tasks have been combined into one. We were hired by the Li Luan branch, but that conglomerate is offering more."

An Ran continued, "What kind of conglomerate is it?"

The prisoner shook his head slightly: "I don't know. That conglomerate has never shown its face. They just issued the missions behind the scenes. The people we contacted were also hired by that conglomerate. We know nothing about that conglomerate."

"Really not even a single word?"

"No, really."

"Did they tell you why they were collecting this primordial fluid?"

"Well……"
