Modern World Warlock-Chapter 231: Alice and Megan Vs. Androids
When nighttime fell upon the Omega Team overlooking the ghouls' nest, they were fully prepared to engage with them along with Laurent and Claudia.
Dante considered using a "Destro" spell to destroy the ghouls' spawner by surprise. However, he also wanted Zac and the others to gather more battle experience, so he decided against it.
The moment that the group started to advance and descend from their vantage point, the androids' scanners detected their body heat, prompting them to turn their heads towards the sneaking group.
One of the androids looked like a black-haired woman with blue eyes in her mid-20s. The second resembled an ordinary man with dark blond hair—also in his mid-20s.
The third and last one who appeared was twice the size of the other two, and Dante compared him to the bodybuilders he met at the gym.
"Intruders detected—Initializing extermination," said the large android.
"Our cover is blown. Spread out!" Alice shouted.
Right as the ex-detective yelled her command, the entire group scattered from their positions, hastily advancing toward their targets.
Still, their rush was slightly halted when the burly android pointed his palm at them, as a gun barrel appeared on each of his fingers and released a barrage of bullets toward the group.
Zac and the vampires ran to the opposite side of Dante, targeting the ghouls below them, who were starting to get rowdy from the noise the androids were making.
On the other hand, Alice and Megan managed to go around a large rock to cover themselves, allowing Dante to advance and catch the burly android's full attention.
As the warlock was about to land on the ground, he noticed the android halted his bullet barrage for a moment, prompting him to take out his wings and glide forward without touching the ground.
When he got closer, the android's palm seemed to open a compartment from the center, where a small rocket-like projectile shot out straight toward the warlock.
It was a brief one-second window, but as Dante sharpened his gaze, he was able to see the smoke trail behind the rocket, making him move slightly to the side as the projectile grazed his clothing before blowing up against the mountain rocks in the back.
'Phew…' Dante thought in relief right as he caught up with the android, who towered over him by a full head.
The warlock noticed a tattoo on the android's arm that said "1.1," but he was unaware of what it meant, so he decided to ignore it.
Thanks to his advances, Megan and Alice were able to approach their targets, and they didn't fall behind in their bullet barrage against them.
"Megan, I got eyes on the male!" Alice shouted, her voice subdued by the sound of the shots.
The brunette nodded in acknowledgment, and as the ex-detective pulled out her pistol and shot at the male android's head, the bullet ricocheted from his forehead. Still, it was good enough to halt his barrage and allow Megan to advance.
As she got closer to her target, Megan pulled out her heirloom pistol and shot at the male android, prompting him to raise his forearm and release a metallic riot shield from his skin to protect himself.
Megan's pistol was loaded with bullets of a slightly higher calibre than what Alice was using, and the android was able to figure it out in seconds and defend himself, knowing that the brunette's pistol could damage him severely.
Nevertheless, Megan kept shooting while running forward until she was mere centimeters away from her opponent, who still had his shield raised.
With a quick motion, she grabbed her dagger and swiped the android's legs, seeing that her weapon managed to cut through his metallic skin, but no significant damage was done.
Suddenly, the female android pointed her palm at Megan from the other side, but her actions were instantly canceled by Alice, who managed to land a bullet in one of her eyes.
*Bzzz* The short circuits in the female android's head could be heard by the ex-detective, who relished the opportunity to get closer.
Placing one hand on the handle of her black blade, Alice's body rushed at superhuman speeds until she was less than two feet away from her target.
The female android's forearm opened three compartments, and as she waved her arm to the side, three explosives came out of her arm, landing right between her and Alice.
During that brief second that felt like a whole minute to the ex-detective, her eyes widened right as the explosives bounced on the ground. Still, her focus was solely on her opponent.
Before the bombs could detonate, Alice thrust her sword forward and released a massive blast of umbra that blew away the android along with her explosives, stamping her into the rocky wall of the mountains.
*BOOM!* The bombs went off right as the android crashed.
Alice turned back to check on her teammates and saw Megan fighting in close combat with the android.
While Megan's moves were calculated and embodied the true essence of martial arts, the android had a somewhat chaotic method of fighting, punching the air and shooting from his palm every few strikes.
'I can deal with his attacks… But his defense is pretty tough,' Megan thought.
Her bullets only did enough damage to halt the android's movement for a brief second, and her dagger wasn't sharp enough to cut through their steel bodies with ease.
Nevertheless, she had one skill that she thought would definitely sever the android, and as her umbra violently increased, her opponent seemed to have picked up on it, prompting him to take a few steps back.

Putting her pistol back in her holster, Megan grabbed her dagger with one hand and raised it in front of her face, sharpening her eyes and focusing on her target.
'Vorpal blade.' Megan thought.
In the blink of an eye, Megan appeared behind her opponent as several slashes appeared in the air, resembling luminous streaks that sliced the android's arms and head.
"We are done with that…" The brunette muttered.
