One of Fenrir's eyes stared eerily at the trajectory of the falling serum, while the other was fixed on Mercer's direction.
"Whoosh!"
Just before the serum hit the ground, a bizarre sound of something cutting through the air was heard, followed by a barely audible click.
The comrade whose wrist was crushed by Fenrir couldn't even finish his sentence; his eyes widened slightly, losing the ability to speak.
Blood lines appeared on his neck and waist, and the next moment, his entire body was divided into three parts.
Fenrir spread his arms wide, and two menacing Mantis Blades sprung out from his arms, still stained with blood.
"No! No, no, no!!"
Another mercenary holding a rifle cried out in despair, raising the rifle to aim at Fenrir, but Fenrir had already vanished.
Along with him, the two arms of the burly mercenary also disappeared.
Those two robust cybernetic arms were severed by Fenrir, who had activated Sianwistan, first slicing off the wrists to prevent him from grabbing him, before dismantling his entire arms with a swift turn.
"Fenrir!!!" The burly mercenary let out a final roar, trying to wake his comrades.
But Fenrir burst into maniacal laughter, seemingly saying something, but in his accelerated state, it was just an unintelligible noise.
The terrifying thing about a cyberpsycho is that once they're insane, they often become even stronger!
All safety protocols of Fenrir's cybernetics failed, with his body in a state of frenzy, every cybernetic part operating at overload, while the body's automatic defense mechanisms nearly failed.
Pan'an noticed Mercer's footsteps suddenly slowed, his eyes flickering, realizing he might be hacking, and immediately shouted, "V!"
Without hesitation, V drew a pistol and aimed it at the distant Fenrir.
Meanwhile, Fenrir had already begun stepping towards Mercer.
Maybe in 0.5 seconds—his form was a blurred shadow in the air, rushing quickly towards Mercer, while Mercer simply stared at his incoming figure with an expressionless face.
Pan'an fearlessly stood in front of Mercer, but Mercer suddenly pulled and pushed her toward the bar.
She was brave, but at her level, facing an enemy equipped with Sianwistan wasn't enough!
Caught off guard, she was directly pushed over the bar counter by Mercer, almost tumbling over, but quick-thinking Claire pulled her behind the bar.
Bar security began shooting, but their bullets were nothing for the swiftly moving Fenrir with his erratic trajectory.
As it turned out, Mercer's action towards Pan'an was extremely correct; with one hand grasping Kenshin to engage the trigger, with the other, he quickly deployed the Single Molecule Line to sweep outwards.
A shadow fleetingly flew past him—Fenrir was forced back by the sharp Single Molecule Line, his beast-like instinct retaining a certain degree of combat awareness.
But just as he charged towards Mercer again, a roar erupted from his side.
"Die!"
Despite lacking in cybernetics and mercenary experience, V's extraordinary physical talent and street-fighting muscle memory made her react even faster than Mercer at this moment.
Her firearm, unlike Mercer's Kenshin, did not need to charge to unleash true power.
V pulled the trigger, and the slightly worn kinetic energy pistol, codenamed "Liberty," by Constitutional Military Industry, launched a large-caliber bullet sharply.
Mercer had to admit, he underestimated this seemingly ordinary gun.
At least at this moment, Fenrir, aiming to leap closer to finish off Mercer after bypassing the Single Molecule Line, was directly knocked off balance by V's shot.
An unusually large-caliber special bullet was lodged firmly in Fenrir's temple.
Though it merely penetrated his subdermal armor, unable to crack the metal skull that produced a ringing sound when struck, the tremendous impact still threw Fenrir off balance.
Yet Fenrir struggled, merely shaking his head and staggering, continuing to charge towards Mercer's previous position.
V swiftly reached out, pulling Mercer, who, focused on hacking, had sluggish movements, into her embrace.
At that moment, Mercer's program finally broke through his ICE program, locking down Fenrir's cybernetics.
Fenrir's speed dramatically slowed, his arms still stretching forward, Mantis Blades poised to impale Mercer and V together, but his modified legs suddenly tangled.
His whole body, due to the sudden failure of his cybernetics, rolled and skidded out across the floor.
"Zzzz!"
The electromagnetic propulsion sound rang out at that moment, Mercer's pistol aimed at Fenrir's head, the tungsten-tipped round propelled by electromagnetism precisely hitting Fenrir's temple as he slid across the floor.
Unlike V's bullet, the charged tungsten-tipped bullet's superior penetration not only pierced through his skull but also triggered a small-scale EMP detonation within Fenrir's head.
Fenrir spasmed and froze, his body trembling before collapsing limply, unable to move again.
