Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: A Moment of Peace

The Anti-Matter Legion is like the cockroaches that everyone in the universe hates. When you find a Voidranger at home, it means there are too many Voidrangers in your home hiding. It will soon become a "cockroach nest" and spawn monsters regularly in your home.

Although the fighters of the Defense Department quickly eliminated the main force of the Anti-Matter Legion that invaded the main control compartment giving people temporary peace, the space station is already full of those deformed black and gold substances called "Fragmentum Erosion."

These dangerous scars symbolize that the space station has suffered serious permanent trauma. Ordinary methods cannot eliminate them at all. Once they are accidentally touched, extremely terrible things will happen.

In addition, there are many lurking Voidrangers in the corners of this space station. If a lone staff member accidentally encounters their ambush, their life may be in danger.

"Have you counted the wounded? How many people are there in total? ... Okay, I got it. Let the wounded receive treatment on the spot first to prevent their injuries from getting worse."

"The equipment damage assessment can be postponed. At present, the priority is to defend against the next wave of attacks from the Antimatter Legion."

"Attention! The frequency of the telemetry radar is high and must be maintained at an average level!"

As the acting stationmaster of the "Herta" space station, Asta was so busy that she didn't even have time to stop and drink water.

She had to count the losses suffered by the space station in this round of attacks, calm the nervous emotions of the people present, prevent rumors from spreading, and monitor the tracking of the projection radar to guard against the subsequent attacks that the Antimatter Legion might launch at any time.

No one could predict where these lunatics, who were walking on the path of "Destruction," would appear.

But judging from their past style, such a massive attack could not be just one wave. She must be fully prepared before the second wave of attacks arrives to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

"It seems that everyone is fine, so we can take a break for now..."

Standing in a remote corner at the edge of the main control cabin, Ilu looked at Asta who was coordinating the preparation of the space station in an orderly manner in the distance, and felt relieved.

The attack of the Antimatter Legion caused considerable damage to the Herta Space station, but fortunately, there was Asta, a rich girl with outstanding ability and billions of assets, who quickly restored order to the space station and prevented the spread of chaos.

You should know that the map in the game is reduced to a certain proportion. In fact, this space station is much larger than she imagined, and the interior is more complicated. It is no wonder that Asta can become the acting stationmaster of this space station and manage everything in such a short time.

However, her experience in dealing with crisis events is obviously insufficient, and she is underprepared, especially regarding the serious shortage of combat personnel. If she hadn't taken Kafka and Silver Wolf to clean up back and forth, I'm afraid the loss of the space station would have been much greater.

"According to the time, March 7th and the others should be here soon."

Waving her hand to get rid of the corpse of the Voidranger hanging on the ultra-low-temperature air blade, Ilu took back the mantis blade on her arm and took the initiative to cancel the transformation, changing from the cool and handsome iron cavalry form back to the petite and exquisite silver-haired girl she originally was.

Huh, finally changed back!

After changing back to her original appearance, the burning desire to fight in Ilu's heart also disappeared. It was if a switch of some kind of mood had been turned off.

She killed at least 200 Voidrangers along the way, including several elite monsters, basically clearing all the enemies in this area.

However, as monsters in the tutorial, each of these opponents was pitifully weak. Basically, they all fell down before she put in much effort, and she couldn't enjoy herself in the iron cavalry form at all.

"Hi! Ilu, you are here; look here~"

Just then, Ilu suddenly heard someone seem to greet her. She looked in the direction of the voice in confusion, only to see March 7th standing at a corner not far away and waving to her with a smile.

Behind her stood Himeko and Dan Heng, and a gray-haired girl whom Ilu had never seen before, but could recognize her identity at a glance — the Trailblazer, Stelle.

"This..."

Looking at the large number of broken limbs of the Voidrangers scattered on the ground, Dan Heng was stunned and frowned slightly.

If he had not seen the appearance of the silver mecha beforehand, he would never have associated this extremely horrifying scene with the silver-haired girl who looked so fragile in front of him.

"By the way, is this place unsafe?"

March Seven looked around with a vigilant expression, feeling a little unsure: "I just heard something moving..."

"Don't worry; the Voidrangers around here have been cleared by me, so don't worry that they will suddenly rush out to disturb us..."

The silver-haired girl's eyes, as beautiful as fireflies, swept across everyone's faces, and she spoke softly, "In addition, Ms. Herta has told me what happened. Thank you for saving me. If you need my help, please call me."

"This is all thanks to March. She insisted on bringing you back to the Express."

Himeko smiled and looked at March Seven beside her, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, March 7th scratched her hair a little embarrassedly: "This is all thanks to everyone. If Himeko hadn't found Ilu first, we might not have been able to save her..."

Halfway through, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at the gray-haired girl who was happily eating melons, and pushed out the confused Stelle.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce our new companion to you. This one is called Stelle. She is very good at fighting. Maybe you can chat with her~"

"Huh?!"

The gray-haired girl widened her eyes.

Compared with this one, is she still a good fighter? Is it true?

"It's our first meeting. Just call me Ilu."

Looking at Stelle who was a little embarrassed by March 7th's enthusiasm, Ilu took the initiative to extend her hand to her and said with a smile, "March 7th's friends are my friends. Stelle, I'm glad to meet you, and I believe we can get along very happily in the future."

"Yeah!"

The gray-haired girl nodded heavily.

She thought so too.

Everyone stayed there and exchanged greetings for a while. Himeko looked down at the time and spoke.

"Stationmaster Asta has been waiting for us for a long time. Let's go first."

"Well, it's time to go. We can't let them wait too long."

"Let's go! Stelle and Ilu, let's go together!"

"Okay."

Just as Ilu was about to catch up with March 7th and the others, the black-haired young man walking at the back suddenly called her.

"Miss Ilu, please wait a moment. I have a question I want to confirm. Is that okay?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ilu looked back at Dan Heng and nodded gently: "Of course, please ask."

"These Voidrangers chopped up by low-temperature weapons, plus the dead antimatter mobs we saw on the road, were they all killed by you alone?"

Noticing that the surface of the remains of these Voidrangers was condensed with frost, as if they had died from the cutting of some ultra-low-temperature weapons, the usually taciturn Dan Heng couldn't suppress his doubts at this moment and took the initiative to ask.

The corpses of the Voidrangers he saw on the road were different from those who were cut down by ultra-low-temperature weapons. They seemed to have suffered multiple attacks at the same time before they died.

Part of their bodies had been deconstructed, part had been burned, and part of their trunks had been frozen to death. This was obviously not done by the same person.
