As the jubilant cheers echoed in the previous scene, our focus now shifts to a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of an alleyway. This enigmatic individual, shirtless and sporting a tattered towel as an improvised cape, gradually approaches a group of individuals who bear a striking resemblance to the adversaries encountered in the initial chapter. As he drew nearer, their collective gaze fixated upon him.

Guy 1 (Confused): "What's that guy doing here?"

Guy 2 (Irritated): "John, you act as if we know the reason."

Guy 1 (Apologetic): "My apologies."

Guy 3: "Gentlemen, let's cease this bickering. We cannot permit this presence in our vicinity."

Both Guy 1 and Guy 2 concur with determined nods, raising their laser guns and training their sights on the approaching figure. However, the enigmatic individual shows no signs of halting his advance; instead, he breaks into a sprint towards them. A cacophony of gunfire ensues as the group opens fire.

Yet, our mysterious figure wields an astonishingly advanced cybernetic katana, conjured seemingly from thin air, with which he adeptly deflects their energy blasts. Undeterred, one of the group members hurls an electrified grenade in his direction, causing a burst of electrical energy. Astonishingly, this attack appears to have no effect on our enigmatic protagonist.

Displaying superhuman agility, the figure ascends a nearby wall and vaults over his assailants, his katana effortlessly cleaving through one of them, terminating his existence. Subsequently, he engages in a fierce blade duel with another member of the group, their clashing swords resounding through the alley.

Our enigmatic figure, however, manifests a second blade in his free hand, wielding both in an X-shaped formation, with the blades ominously glowing in crimson. This sudden and deadly move results in the adversary being severed in an X-shaped pattern, his life extinguished instantly.

Swiftly discarding the surplus blade, our mysterious figure confronts the third member of the group. With a vice-like grip, he seizes the individual by the neck, hoisting him off the ground.

Guy 3 (Terrified): "W-who are you?!"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJM0RayHvZ
Drearygeist: "Don't concern yourself with such matters, at least for the moment. Embrace your existence in the tangible realm."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcLuBeFWZ
Guy 3 (Terrified): "No! Wait! Please!"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLaoZNclx8
With a swift and ruthless motion, Drearygeist snaps the unfortunate individual's neck and releases his lifeless form to the unforgiving ground.

Subsequently, he discarded his blade, allowing it to clatter to the ground, and from his eyes, he unleashed lethal laser beams upon a nearby wall, meticulously shaping a square configuration. With a single, almost casual, finger movement, he exerted pressure upon the wall, causing it to crumble and disintegrate into myriad fragments.

Drearygeist confidently strode into the building, where he was met with a formidable contingent of armed men, their laser rifles trained menacingly upon him. Fearless and unwavering, he calmly snapped his fingers, instantly deactivating all of their weapons. In a chilling display of power, he clenched his fist, causing their rifles to crumble and collapse in their grasp, leaving the majority of the armed men stunned and bewildered.

Some among the group, displaying an undaunted resolve, attempted to rush and confront him head-on. Yet, Drearygeist dispatched them with an almost effortless proficiency, rendering their efforts futile. With swift and precise movements, he systematically eliminated every remaining individual in the room, quashing any semblance of resistance with ruthless efficiency.

Drearygeist ascended the stairs of the building with an air of indifference, seemingly impervious to every futile attempt to obstruct his progress. He arrived at the armory, where two vigilant guards raised their rifles and unleashed a barrage of fire. Drearygeist, however, exhibited an almost casual agility, effortlessly evading every projectile as though they were mere trifles. With a nonchalant gesture, he extended a finger to the side, sending the guards hurtling in that direction, their weapons falling from their grasp.

Entering the armory, Drearygeist acted swiftly, extracting a compact laser pistol with remarkable dexterity. In a seamless motion, he discharged a pulse of energy, incapacitating a guard who had sought to ambush him. With disregard, he cast the weapon aside, having dispatched his assailant with ease.

Drearygeist swiftly seized a laser rifle from its resting place on the armory wall, and his gaze fell upon a cybernetic face mask that piqued his interest which he placed upon his face. With a powerful punch, he shattered one of the walls, unveiling a colossal vault beyond. Setting several C4 explosives around the vault's entrance, he displayed a complete absence of hesitation as he triggered the explosives.

The detonation reverberated through the air, yet Drearygeist remained untouched by the fiery blast. Undeterred, he entered the vault, where he encountered an array of security measures meant to deter intruders. However, he navigated these defenses with a calm and composed demeanor, seemingly unfazed by the imminent arrival of reinforcements.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGMMFO9biT
Drearygeist (Muttering to Himself): "I didn't have to resort to explosives... I simply chose to."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86fqKPj21
His words lingered in the air as he continued his unimpeded progress within the heavily secured vault, a figure of unwavering determination in the face of mounting opposition.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8jdKD0To9
With a swift, commanding glance behind him, the rubble amassed into a formidable barrier, sealing off the pursuing horde of attackers, rendering them powerless to obstruct his path. Drearygeist pressed on, reaching the end of the vault where another imposing vault door stood, its access code locking it securely. Unperturbed, he effortlessly phased through the door, his gaze falling upon a container that held the very object he had infiltrated the facility to obtain.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8o7WObGCB
Removing the case with calculated ease, Drearygeist lifted the object within, revealing it to be the linchpin of his scheme to restore the metaverse to its former state of tranquility and order. A triumphant smirk played across his lips as he secured the invaluable item within a bag. Levitating into the air, he directed his laser eyes toward the ceiling, carving a hole through it with precision. With newfound escape, he soared through the opening, leaving behind a trail of chaos in his wake as he made his getaway.

In the midst of Drearygeist's airborne escape, our attention shifts back to the main team entrenched in a territorial conflict below. A barrage of laser beams criss crossed through the chaotic battleground as every member exerted their utmost effort to repel the encroaching attackers. Amidst the frenzy, Ava took decisive action, activating the aimbot feature on her rifle. With precision and seeming effortlessness, she began to systematically eliminate the assailants, her shots finding their marks with unerring accuracy.

Meanwhile, Erik diligently captured the area code, adding it to their land file as part of their claim. After an intense struggle, victory was ultimately secured, prompting cheers of triumph from the team. Amidst the jubilation, Ava cast her gaze skyward and spotted Drearygeist soaring towards his destination.
