章 25: Chapter 25

"This! this metal, impossible, we destroyed the Master Mold, so how could this one exist?" Magneto said, with anger and a bit of worry in his face.

I became really nervous when I heard him say that, the only thing that came to mind when Master Mold is mentioned are the Sentinels.

'Damnit, I thought they destroyed them all?'

"What do you mean? what is that thing? what is coming?" My dad said, becoming aggressive, which is understandable because something dangerous is coming with a high chance of hurting our family.

"A sentinel, but this one is different, I can feel its metal body, but it is not the same like last time, where the metal it is made of just gives off a single consistent feedback, but this one is ever changing, like its body is changing in response to something, like.." Magneto stopped talking then looked at Mytique, and Charles, with all of his moral ambiguity, is still a genius that can guess what Magneto is insinuating, and even grandma, who is apparently an acquaintance of them knows what Magneto is talking about.

"What? why are you looking at me?, what is this got to do with me?" Mystique said, agitated by the looks that they are giving.

"Trask" Baldy said, "Remember what Trask planned all those years ago? getting a bit of your dna to use it on his creations, the sentinel project, in order for them to adapt any and all x-gene mutations they face."

I remember that plot, but this one is a different design altogether, more streamlined, compact and I must say, it looks like an adaptoid.

"Talking is useless now, if this thing is really a murderbot specifically made to combat post-humans, then we should be ready." I said, while snapping my finger and summoning Garen.

"Summoner." the summoned warrior said.

"Garen, I want you to protect my mom, sister and grandma." I ordered him, he just nodded and walked in front of them in a defensive stance.

"What do you mean protect us? we can also help fight" Mom said.

I looked at her with a serious face and said "I know you can, but telepathy is not useful enough to fight a murder robot. please be safe mom, I don't think this is a fight that we can afford to be worried about something else"

after telling her that, I turned around and readied myself to fight.

'This is going to be my first actual fight in this life, a fight where something is on the line' I thought to myself as I think of any plans that may help us win this battle.

I took out the frost-fire gauntlet and equiped it. It is really bulky, a little smaller than a boxing gloves. I wonder if I can shift its shape and size...

'system, can I change the shape of the gauntlet? I want to ise other weapon with it, but it is too bulky.'

[Yes, summoner. You can reshape it anyway you like, just imagine the size and shape that you want and it will morph jnto that.]

doing as the system instructed, I imagined fingerless gloves with pointed studs at the knuckles, changed the color to dark blue with red streaks, and voila, cooler frostfire gloves.

Now, I pick a short sword made of petricite, hoping it works on dimensional powers. Well, it gave Mom a headache when I first summoned Garen, so that's a possibility.

As I'm thinking of other preparations to be made, I heard a whooshing sound and looked up.

I saw a humanoid figure with shifting scales and I knew our enemy's here.

Without waiting for it to be so close, I dashed forward while muttering "Evelynn, lock in"

I can feel my body shifting into some shadowy and viscous substance, my surroundings turning a bit dark, shadows having violet hue.

As I looked at the sentinel, I saw its eyes flickering and turning its head left and right before stopping and focusing on Magneto who was trying to control its metal parts, while failing miserably.

'Seems like it's looking for me. Did I turn Invisible?'

I cast Evelynn's charm skill(Allure) on it, hoping it would work. Fortunately, it did. I saw a violet hue covered the sentinel amd it turned on me, sensing me for a brief moment before focusing back on the magnet man with its eyes turning reddish orange, not unlike that Summers have.

I followed up with a hate spike, throwing a knife-like shadow on its chest, activating the allure. And it seems like the 'additional damage' in-game was turned into something more like armor piercing as I watched as the hate spike projectile pierced the middle of its chest.

Activating the allure also was a good call, as it stops its charge and focuses on me as I exit the Night Shade state.

Slowed by the effect of the Allure, I continuously throw hate spikes at the sentinel. Causing a meter and a half purplish pink shadow spike erupting for the ground and piercing the sentinel.

But before I could celebrate the damage that I've done, its skin suddenly rippled and the damage that has been dealt to it was healed before a metal claw formed at the back of its arm.

'Damn, it can imitate Wolfy's regenarative powers'

Retreating back, I heard the magnet man talk.

"Boy, can you damage it again? I can feel the metal inside it after the damage you've done, but the connection was cut off when it regenerated" He said

I looked at him and nodded saying "I think I can, but we need someone to hold the damaged exterior in place before he regenerates again, so that your power can work."

"I don't think we have someone who can do that, Miss Grey's telekinesis is not strong enough to hold it back"

he said while shaking his head.

"Neither can my mom, but I know who can." I said, retreating far back.

the Xmen looked at me, confused as to who I was talking about.

I ignored them, then started to summon my third summon.

'If telekinesis is what we need, then no one can top this one.' I think to myself

Raising my hand while saying

"Summon, Syndra"
