Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 129: Cinthya’s Town

They walked along a small path towards the depths of the abandoned town, occasionally turning back to look at the path into the town. The closer they got to the center of the abandoned town, the more lights there were. The houses on both sides were also scattered messily, and most of them were very simple and crude. However, more and more houses had lights hanging in front of their doors. Some even had simple signs erected. Then, sounds of laughter or shouting could be heard from the taverns. There were also various horses tied to the alleys between the houses. Among these houses was even a mutated gray wolf that had been forcibly “tamed”. Its back was also loaded with the remains of modified mecha.

Barker casually walked into a tavern. As soon as the door was pushed open, an unpleasant smell of alcohol hit him. Most of the people in the tavern were already drunk. They danced and drank like basilisk lizards who had stepped onto water.

He carefully avoided these people and walked towards the wine table at the end of the bar. When he passed by these people, he realized that although these people were disguised, it was not difficult to identify the Genetic Warriors, Mecha Warriors, and even Mecha Masters among them.

Just as he was secretly observing and walking towards the wine table, a charming voice sounded.

“You’re not from around here.”

Barker looked in the direction of the voice. A charming woman was standing on a stool behind the wine counter, standing on her tiptoes to retrieve a small wooden barrel from the highest point of the wine rack. She was wearing a long black and white dress that was not ordinary. Instead, it was made of the densely-packed scales of a mutated beast. Furthermore, it was decorated with thin and resilient golden membrane wings, making it light and firm. The moment she turned around, the lower hem of the dress was like a black jimson weed flower petal that had bloomed in the morning light.

Furthermore, the moment she jumped down from the stool, a pair of boots covered with a large amount of beast skin under her open skirt was revealed. It was the colour of congealed blood. Meanwhile, her legs were even whiter.

She held the small wine barrel and placed it on the wine table. Then, she pried open the lid and poured out two glasses of wine. After that, she leaned her face against the wine table with one hand and slowly pushed one of the glasses to the edge of the wine table with the fingertips of her other hand.

Barker walked forward and looked at the glass of wine in front of him. “I might not be able to pay for the wine.”

“You can pay with supercore chips, points from the Federation, or gold coins from the Mechanical Holy City. Anything is fine as long as you have it.”

The woman studied Barker. The moment he leaned against the wine table, she reached out and touched his chin with a finger. Then, she smiled faintly, her snow-white skin becoming even more charming with the help of the mole at the corner of her eye.

“Even if you don’t have anything, you can pay for it with your body.”

“I’m not valuable.” Barker smiled.

“That’s fine too. Take this glass of wine as my treat.”

As the woman spoke, she had already picked up her wine glass and downed it.

Barker looked at the glass of wine, then at the woman in front of him.

“I was just passing by here. I wanted to find a place in this town for the night and change into something to eat. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

“After this drink, I’ll get someone to take you to a hotel in this town.”

As the woman spoke, she tapped the side of the wine glass again.

Barker frowned and leaned in to whisper in the woman’s ear. “Why do you insist that I drink this wine?”

The woman smiled seductively.

“Don’t tell me you don’t even dare to drink a glass of wine?”

“You guessed correctly.”

Barker let his body move back and kept a certain distance from the woman in front of him.

“I think I can find a hotel in this town myself. You don’t have to worry about me.”

He turned around and was about to walk out of the tavern.

At this moment, the woman behind him slammed the table. Then, she stood up and said loudly, “Whether you drink this glass of wine tonight or not, don’t even think about leaving.” As she spoke, the people who seemed to have been drunk just now immediately surrounded her.

Barker looked around. These people were just pretending to be drunk. Thus, he was even more convinced that this was a trap. However, he couldn’t help but feel that this was strange. After all, their whereabouts had always been hidden. Furthermore, even if the Mecha Masters wanted to set up an ambush here, there was no reason for them to be part of a mob like this.

Thus, he tested the waters and said, “So you’re the hired thugs of the Mechanical Holy City.”

The woman behind the wine table spat and placed one palm on the wine table. Then, she jumped sideways to the wine table and stared at Barker. “Stop pretending. We let a spy go a few days ago. You won’t be so lucky tonight.”

“I’m Cinthya, and this is my, territory. Even if the Leader of the Holy City comes, he can forget about leaving this place. ”

Upon hearing what she said, Barker not only extended his palm, but also said, “Wait, you aren’t from the Mechanical Holy City?”

“You still want to pretend? Do I look like a fool?”

At this moment, Cinthya was already impatient. She roared an incantation and drew a pair of crescent blades from behind her back, forming two silver rays of light in the process. Then, she pressed her arms close to her body and rushed towards Elise. As she approached Barker, her body quickly spun as she waved the two crescent blades in her hands, forming a ray of light that resembled a full moon.

Barker didn’t have time to explain further. He immediately activated the genetic power in his body, and a powerful force began to spread through his limbs.

In an instant, Barker, whose speed had increased, dodged multiple attacks from his opponent.

Barker pushed forward forcefully and took a few steps back. “Wait, there’s a misunderstanding…”

However, before he could finish speaking, a rune formation appeared under Cinthya’s feet as she chanted. Then, a cold ghost-like mist appeared from the rune formation and surrounded Barker. In the blink of an eye, layers of frost condensed on his arm, which grew thicker and thicker.

“That’s enough.”

Barker roared.

“I’m not a spy from the Holy City!”

“You’re a spy!”

Without further ado, Cinthya attacked Barker again. As she approached him, Barker thought that she was going to repeat her attack. Thus, he instinctively crossed his arms in front of him.

However, Cinthya suddenly jumped up and turned in the air. Then, she kicked the overhead beam with both feet and turned around before stabbing Barker with the pair of crescent blades in her hands.

At this moment, Barker’s powerful strength as a Genetic General began to surge.

When Cinthya saw this, she immediately crossed her hands that were holding the crescent blades and shouted, “Bloodblade Shield!” Then, the runes engraved on the crescent blades instantly flashed with a blood-moon-like shadow. This light transformed into a round, red shield.

At this moment, the surrounding people saw this and swarmed out of the tavern. They practically pushed the entire door frame onto the streets. In the blink of an eye, the entire tavern had collapsed, and there was almost no building left behind.

“Do you still want to fight!”

Barker looked at Cinthya, who was standing a short distance away on the wall of a half collapsed house. He said, “Have you seen a scout like me?”

Cinthya said hatefully, “Even if you’re not a spy, you can forget about walking out of this abandoned town now.”

“I just want to stay here overnight and change into something to eat. I’ll leave at dawn.”

“You can’t leave.” As Cinthya spoke, she jumped up. As she flew in the air, the blood-colored runes engraved on the crescent blades in her arms drew silver shadows in the night sky.

“She’s simply crazy.”

Barker jumped back and used his body to accumulate power. If he unleashed this attack, even the Genetic God of War wouldn’t dare to receive it.
