Chapter 1712 Who Will Know? -Part 34

The Fira Dragon howled in pain even though it was relieved from the strangling of the Quacken. The massive battery gun barrage had been putting holes in the Mecha Fira Dragon that it would render it incapable of flight soon enough.

Thus, it had decided to activate its hidden trump card that it did not wish to use against such foes. The Fira Dragon's AI logic wished to keep it hidden from a more difficult foe but the quantity of attacks it had suffered made it feel that it should use it as soon as possible.

Its eyes shone purple lights the moment the AI within it decided to trigger the hidden trump card, allowing the massive regeneration of its body. At that instance, the admiral of the Battle Airships had determined that the use of laser cannons was needed to burn the Fira Dragon down from the sky as the main battery guns were not doing sufficient damage to it.

The Mechanical monster needed to be attacked consistently for the regeneration to stop. So, just as the laser cannons were aimed and shot at the Fira Dragon, they found their simultaneous shots of lasers from each and different Battle Airship had been deflected.

One of the lasers because of its strength emitted from the bigger ships happened to deflect at an angle and skewered a Battle Airship at the outermost corner of their formation. It was then they realised that the Fira Dragon had been protected by a huge barrier made out seemingly from crystals.

"Holy sheet. Is that?!" Click could not believe her eyes and stood up out of surprise.

"This is not a good sign," Tellie exclaimed as all of them never expected the Fira Dragon to be able to show such adaptation upon consuming the former Crystal Dragon.

"How much time we are left with?" Diaz shouted out loud and later unconsciously checked the timing on the holographic console.

"Not enough to deal with a new threat. Switch to explosive rounds and penetrative rounds for an anti crystal element fight. If Jin cannot bring it down fast enough, we have to fight it alone." Yinn said and the rest quickly changed their weapon load. As they were initially brought in into Parry City with the expectation to counter the Crystal Dragon, they had originally brought quite a few penetrative rounds of ammunition.

It was definitely not sufficient against such a monster as they were expecting backup after the investigation but right now, it was better than nothing and they knew that they had to do something or at least slow it down so that they could also inform the Daimon military. Hopefully, the Grey Bears were able to discover its weakness and later convey it to the rest so that Daimon had the knowledge to bring it down quickly with little casualties.

Everyone in the Grey Bear Squad was switching their weapon load except for Page who was still watching the scene unfold as if she was expecting something. "Come on… Come on…" She whispered to herself and Diaz tapped her head with a touch as if hoping for her to snap out of it.

"What are you doing? There's no time to stare at that. We need to prepare for-" Diaz pulled Page up from her sitting position but she shook Diaz's hand away abruptly and shouted.

"COME ON! DO YOUR JOB" She screamed at the top of her lungs, an act that was unusual even for her behaviour and everyone around her had no idea why she did that and was worried for her, thinking that something within her logic circuits had broken down.

"Is she becoming rogue?" Click questioned as she quickly picked up a connection wire and attempted to insert it at the back of Page's nape to perform a diagnostic. The rest also aided in restraining her in case she decided to reject the diagnostic scan but she did not resist at all.

"No… She is not." Click answered her question and saw the processes that had been running when they were resting. "Her virus programme got through but it was not deep enough and had been detected. She is manually guiding it while avoiding the quarantine as much as possible."

"Why can't this stubborn girl say anything?! We can aid her!" Diaz exclaimed.

"Her processes were all running simultaneously and had already shut down most of the rest non essential programmes so that she could focus on it. I suspect any disturbance in her process will most likely be-"

"Then shut up and help her now," Yinn said as she picked her connection wire up as well and inserted it into Click's side ports. Tellie and Diaz also took their connection wires and plugged them into Click too and Click did the necessary configuration so that they were all able to share the processing load that Page was handling.

This time it was a race against time as the virus programme switched through multiple folders and files as if to prevent detection and at the same time attempt to burrow itself deeper to get to what Page wanted the most. The access to the Fira Dragon's system.

With the help of her teammates, the virus had been copied and duplicated into several dummies so that the Fira Dragon's AI logic had to deal with multiple copies. This was in lieu of the fact that the Fira Dragon was still fighting against a barrage of explosives.

"User, the System has detected that the Fira Dragon is changing its element and adapting it to be the Crystal Dragon."

"Tell me something I do not already know," Jin said as he could feel that his Maqi was nearly at capacity and the heavy bombardment from the battle airships was already at its limit. Even the Naval Monster Ships were also supporting with long range attacks even though it was not their forte to shoot high up.

"The Grey Bear Squad seemed to have success for the Virus programme within the dragon to work. But it requires some time for it to work."

"The problem is we do not have time."
