SKREEE— Charles's Black Blade scraped forcefully across the wall. To his surprise, its sharp edge only left a thin fissure. The defenses here were even more robust than he had imagined.
He had used explosives to breach the Third Laboratory, but he suspected they would be ineffective against this room.
Charles could feel his oxygen depleting. He had to find a way in before it ran out, or the mission would be a complete failure.
BANG! Since the knife was ineffective, Charles pressed the muzzle of his gun against the door's lock and fired.
He felt a surge of elation as the white Bone Bullet sank into the metal. He began pulling the trigger relentlessly at that spot on the door.
Just as Charles was about to break through, a burst of red blood shot past his face from behind, quickly dyeing the surrounding seawater black.
