Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Green blood
At the second military base inside one of the schools, another meeting was taking place . Once again, the Head General wasn't present, leaving Nathan and Duke to deal with things .
"There has been a report of a Dalki ship crash landing on the planet Caladi," Nathan reported . At that moment, the first-year sergeants had expressions of shock on their faces . "Don't worry . It seems to be a stray ship from somewhere . The tower made communications with the Dalki, and of course, they said it was a member who had gone rogue . "
"Damn those Dalki!" Duke yelled, slamming the table . " Every year, they keep pushing and pushing into our territory . "
"Luckily, it only seems to be a single ship, so at most, there will be two there . Of course, the tower has asked us to send…"
Before Nathan could even finish his sentence, Leo stood up from his seat and bowed down in front of Nathan . "Please allow me to go . Those students are too young to experience something like this, especially on their first outing . They must be protected . "
Nathan was quite shocked to see Leo suddenly volunteering . Usually, when something like this occurred, no one would willingly go and risk their lives against the Dalki . Hearing this made Nathan wonder if the rumors were actually true .
That for some reason, Leo had a stronger grudge against the Dalki than most people . Or perhaps, he just really cared about the students . One thing was for sure though . He was sure that if they were to send Leo out, then there would be no need to send out any of the other teachers or sergeants .
As long as the Dalki had no more than three spikes, then Nathan was confident in him . "Well, I guess the matter is settled . Fay, Hayley, I want to two of you on standby just outside the portal for their return . If any back-up is needed, then you go straight through . Hayley, heal anyone who needs immediate medical attention . "
The meeting had ended like that and everyone did as they were asked . Leo quickly put on his gear while the two girls waited outside the green portal . "It seems like Del's class is having it tough this year," Hayley said .
"I couldn't agree more, its almost as if bad luck has been following them around wherever they go," Fay replied .
Leo was eventually ready, unhesitatingly entering the portal soon after .

The shelter had responded to the emergency response and had closed all shelter gates . No citizens were allowed to leave the shelter at the moment without military clearance . Two mechs had been sent out to look for the Dalki, with both of them arriving at the crash site . Unfortunately for them, there was no sign of the Dalki .
This was the reason why it had taken so long for the Mechs to discover the students and the Dalki . But once the Mechs had discovered their location, they were able to tell Leo exactly where they were .
"Men, fall back!" Leo shouted .
The two guys in the mechs did as ordered . The Dalki was holding onto one of the Mechs' arms and the guy had no choice but to allow it to be ripped off to break free . Afterward, they immediately backed away and went by the students' side .
"Another one," the Dalki said as he saw Leo walking towards him with his hand on his sheath . "You really are germs to this whole universe, look how many of you there are on this planet already . "
The Dalki looked like he was heavily injured, but that didn't fool Leo . Using his ability, he could see the strong aura emanating off of him . The Dalki had not given up just yet .
"Why do you fight us?" Leo asked .
In response to his question, the Dalki ignored him and went in for a strike . Leo responded to his actions by pivoting forward and using a quick draw, pulling out the katana from its sheath and putting it back in an instant .
The Dalki felt nothing as his arm had been cleanly sliced off . There was no resistance like everything else before had, it was as if the sword was able to ignore all attributes .
The arm went flying up into the air and landed a distance behind Leo while green blood spewed out from the open wound .
"You!" The Dalki pointed with his other hand . "I know who you are! The others had warned me about you!" Unfortunately for him, before he could even finish talking, its head had also been cleanly cut off .
"Was this the only one?" Leo asked .
For a moment, the students had forgotten to speak as they were too amazed at what they had just seen . The thing they struggled to defeat with all of them combined was killed just like that .
"Um…yes . That's the only one we saw," Layla replied .
The two mechs soon ran forward and went down on their knees . "Thank you for protecting us, Sergeant Leo . "
"Don't thank me," Leo replied . "Thankfully, the Dalki was already on its last legs . You two must have done a good job in injuring the Dalki before I got here . "
The two soldiers looked at each other in response . They knew that their skills hardly had any effect on the Dalki . In fact, they hadn't even managed to land a hit even once . Nearly all of the wounds that were on the Dalki were on it before they had even gotten there .
'It couldn't have been the students, could it?' they simultaneously thought .
If Leo was able to see the expressions on their face, he too would have realized that they were not the ones who had injured the Dalki .
Leo and the two soldiers were busy inspecting the Dalki, seeing if they could find anything indicating why he was here .
While they were doing that, the others were still tending to Peter, making sure he was okay . In contrast, Quinn's attention was focused on something else .
His eyes were fixated on the Dalki's hand that was not too far away from them . He started walking over and Vorden soon noticed what he was looking at as well .
[Inspect]
[Dalki: A half-human, half-beast race]
"Half-human, half-beast?" Quinn looked at it with a confused expression . Aren't the Dalki aliens? Although he was curious about this, he inspected the arm, only to confirm something else .
[Inspect]
[Dalki blood]
[Consuming the blood will have unknown effects on the host]
"System, do you know what the Dalki blood will do?" Quinn asked .
"No," The system replied rather bluntly . "But I will tell you this . If it did any harm to your body, the system would warn you . "
Quinn then walked over to the arm and dipped his finger in the green blood . He sniffed it a little at first . It had a sweet scent with a hint of mint in it, reminding him of toothpaste .
'Should I?' Quinn thought . 'The system said it wouldn't hurt me, right?'
