#265
265. Like killing bugs (5)
An assassin girl who used a sickle proficiently.
It was a last that did not match his skills and was pointless.
If I had been able to write an engraving, the aspect would have been different. I brushed off the blood on the blade. Pale-looking Jenna let out a cough.
“Are you okay?”
“Somehow… I don’t seem to be dead… I guess. Cough!”
“That’s it.”
I supported Jenna.
“Whoa… I’m fine now. I thought I was going to the goal.”
Jenna staggered to her feet.
In the front compartment of the train, there was a violent sound of metal.
Infrequently, two shadows collided, sparking blue sparks. Cagan! The two, who had a big fight once, widened their distance from each other.
“You suddenly became quiet. Anything else to say?”
Belquist wiped the cut on his cheek with his arm.
minor wounds. His sleeves were stained red. On the other hand, Spira was in a state where there was no significant damage.
She twirled the ink kukri and looked at us.
“Hu, that’s how I taught you not to be vigilant. I guess the 2nd Army couldn’t help it.”
Even when his comrade died, there was no agitation.
On the contrary, the smile on his lips deepened. I left Jenna alone and joined Belquist.
The situation is 2 to 1.
“Well, I can cook for you guys here, but…”
Spira looked away.
A couple of armed helicopters were approaching alongside the moving train.
“I can’t even use assassination here, and I don’t think I can afford it.”
<Inform the scoundrels currently occupying the train! Disarm immediately and stop the train. If you don’t comply, I’ll shoot you!>
“It’s like a mutt dog.”
The Vulcan cannon installed at the bottom of the helicopter was pointed in this direction.
Spira licked her lips with her tongue.
“Stay here for as long as possible. If you come out… you’ll die right away. The eldest sister will soon come out too, so enjoy your life as it is limited.”
Spira tucked the kukri into her sleeve with a smile on her face.
“Esten, let’s go.”
<… … boom.>
“See you soon.”
Spira winked at me.
Puffup!
A light explosion occurred at the front of the train.
I hurriedly threw myself back.
What a profit!
The impact of the explosion threw the train half way off the track.
The train continued its run even with sparks flying from its wheels.
‘also… … There were more colleagues.’
it will start now
Judging by the fact that she did not lose her composure, it seemed that she had prepared a backup plan in case the raid failed.
‘It’s annoying.’
Annoying things intervened at the right time to accelerate the mission.
I put the sword in the scabbard. Simply winning once or twice did not seem to end the fight.
“You’re stronger than you look.”
Belquist spat bloody spit.
Belquist, who had been trained through actual battles and practice, seemed to have struggled quite a bit.
“I never thought I would be pushed this far by someone other than my seniors.”
“Because it’s a ranker.”
It’s a shame because there was no imprint, and the situation would have been even worse if they had fought outside.
Due to the situation, it was fortunate that I was able to engage in close combat.
“Rather than that, can we stay like this?”
Jenna scratched her cheek.
“The train seems to be falling.”
Belquist and I looked forward at the same time.
The train, which had deviated halfway from the track, was crashing into a shopping mall.
“…”
After escaping from the train, there was a long hearing from the company.
Jenna let out a voluptuous speech, with a blood clot in her throat. He was the one who started the fight first, and we said we didn’t do anything wrong.
Besides, the other addicts other than Xena were not given an antidote.
True to the description of the special poison, it is said that general antidotes do not work. Most of them are in a life-threatening situation. A man called the head of security came and left a bluff that the ringleader of this terror would pay a reasonable price.
“What are you going to do next?”
“well.”
The deck of the Lucette.
I was lying on the railing with my feet up.
“What do you think we should do?”
“Of course we have to chase it, right? There’s no benefit to staying here. It’s better than standing still.”
“Sometimes it’s best to keep still.”
The 6-star promotion test has been canceled.
A large number of applicants were eliminated in advance, but there was no way to start as it was.
We were in the middle of discussing future plans after returning to the Lucette on the airfield.
“I think Belle is right. We have to do something! We have to pay back the humiliation I received.”
Jenna rolled up her sleeves.
“…”
I saw the sky
I could have gone straight out of here.
But if they’re out in ambush.
‘Would it really be advantageous if I procrastinated?’
They noticed that Niflheim was connected to me.
I don’t think that the assassins would attack me blindly without any countermeasures. No matter how overconfident in one’s own strength, as before, the Assassin’s innate job flaws existed. It is weak in frontal warfare. If the assassin named Spiegel had a different job, the course of the battle would have been different.
‘Hmm.’
I turned my gaze to the ring finger of my left hand.
Originally, there was a ring that Yurnet gave me as a gift.
The item name is Proof of Fallen Heaven. The mark of being the owner of Niflheim or something. Without that thing, it’s hard for me to keep in touch with Yurnet. If she had been able to communicate with her back and forth, things would have been much… … .
<Master, are you there?>
I swallowed in vain.
A familiar voice was ringing in my head.
<If you hear it, please reply. This is Yunet.>
“I’ll be away for a bit. Ten minutes is all it takes.”
I immediately got up and went inside the ship.
I went into the warehouse and locked the door.
<Sorry. It seems you were in danger while I was away.>
“How did you contact me? I don’t even have a ring.”
<That ring is just a tool to facilitate communication with the Master. I can communicate whenever I want.>
“Then why did you not contact me after a week…”
<Investigation… … was doing.>
inspection.
I narrowed my eyes.
There is no need to ask what the research is for. After the failure report, Yurnet was looking for the El Cid Gun separately. But the matter has already been settled within me.
Does this guy even know that I contacted a high-ranking Mobius executive?
The fact that I contacted you earlier… … .
“Are the results out?”
<… … yes.>
After a moment of silence, Yurnet answered.
“You said hacking was difficult. What about authority? What method did you use?”
<Soon… … You will find out.>
I frowned.
Between words, he is strangely resting.
‘You’ll find out soon?’
I shook my head.
Rather, there are issues that need to be dealt with first.
<You don’t have to worry about this. We will resolve this as soon as possible.>
“They’ll be a nuisance to you too. There’s no need to rush. I’ll try to finish this side if possible.”
<No. Please, Master, focus on your mission.>
I leaned my back against the wall.
Totally different from the usual atmosphere.
“Yurnet, what’s going on?”
He slept for nearly ten days and never contacted me.
It would never have happened to her in the past.
Even though he was busy as an acting master, he often contacted me.
<Master, I don’t know if you remember.>
Yurnet continued in a flat tone.
<When we first met, I asked. Please stay with us.>
It was still vivid in my memory.
I earnestly asked for it while showing the jet-black castle on the top floor of Niflheim.
please stay here Well, it was burdensome, and at that time I had no other choice but to return to Earth, so I declined.
‘Why are you saying that here?’
<I apologize. I think my thoughts were short..>
“…”
<Master and we are different from the origins. I was blinded by greed and put forward clumsy demands. Again, I apologize.>
The voice was deeply locked.
“What is it, Yurnet? Be honest! Why is it all of a sudden…”
<Master, I… … with you… … .>
pop.
Communication was lost.
I stood there blankly for a while.
“…”
He said that the investigation into the El Cid case was over.
Then, after continuing to say something unknown to himself, he unilaterally cut off the conversation.
It was meaningless.
The Yunet Sid I know would never engage in such irrational behavior.
I ran out of the ship. The eyes of Jenna and Belquist, who were chatting, turned this way.
“Prepare to depart.”
Apparently reading my expression, Jenna quickly entered the cockpit.
Belquist hardened his face.
“What’s going on?”
“I need to check something urgently.”
Whoops.
The Lucette rose into the air.
Right next to it, countless airships passed through the dimensional vortex.
The Moebius company’s pattern is stamped on the side of the airship. Member of the internal suppression team. It is to go out to punish the master who committed unauthorized terrorism.
“Where can I set the coordinates! This is an automatic pilot…”
“In Taoni.”
First, you need to check the situation in the waiting room.
‘The investigation into El Cid is over?’
I’m sorry, but the investigation was done on my side first.
The stage of Pick Me Up was unfinished, and the core of the game, the ‘chapter to restore the world’, was lost.
And Alpha Zero gave me a choice. After completing the mission, leave for Earth, or stay here and fix the error.
“What else is there?”
If not clear, the exact cause and solution to this problem.
The error is linked to the source of Mobius, so you said you couldn’t tell until it came to Server 1. I returned to the waiting room with no judgment. If so, it should have ended there.
“I’ll put it back on autopilot anyway!”
Jenna rushed out onto the deck.
The Lucette turned sideways and began to exit the dimensional vortex.
The light wrapped around his body with a familiar feeling of floating. When you leave this place, you are immediately connected to the field outside the dimensional city.
Then, when I open my eyes again,
An endless flame hell spread out.
Roaring!
The flames tried to devour the deck.
If the Lucette hadn’t made an evasive maneuver, it would have been directly hit by the super-high heat flames.
“…”
The whole sky is red.
I even had the illusion that the sun was rising in front of my eyes.
“Eh, what is this…!”
“Jenna, get inside!”
Jenna hurriedly went inside the ship.
Then the metal poles on the deck glowed red.
If it wasn’t for the constitution of a dragon, it would have been cooked to a golden brown like smoked meat.
“Belquist, are you okay?”
“……Somehow.”
White smoke rose from the arm that covered Belquist’s mouth.
Whoops! Belatedly, Lucette’s magic barrier was activated. The momentum of the overflowing heat subsided further. Only then could I look around.
“…”
The first thing that caught my eye was the remnants of airships that filled the field.
The hull, made of special metal, has been shattered and heated red. The metal parts that once made up the airship were bending like candy due to the extremely high temperature. There, I was able to confirm the pattern of Mark Lambda, the account name of Ttukbaegi Oriental Medicine.
‘It was an ambush after all.’
The moment we came out, it seemed like they were trying to surprise us.
Looking at the wreckage, it’s not just one or two. It must have been at least ten fleets.
But now only traces remain.
I looked to the side.
Moebius’ suppression fleet, which was leaving the dimension city just before, was in the same situation.
Numerous airships burned fiercely and scattered smoke.
‘I can’t even resist.’
Any defense was futile in the face of this infernal heat.
If he wishes, we’ll be allied to a nearby airship.
It’s because I made it that way.
‘Investigation method of Yurnet.’
Hacking, the traditional method, does not work.
So, there was only one predictable way.
It is to ask the person who has the information.
A person who is close to Yurnet but seems to know the secret behind Pick Me Up.
Lydigion? no. Because he is working hard on training all day long. Muden is also impossible for the same reason. Nihaku is not good at information warfare. Then there was only one remaining candidate. Even before I came to Niflheim, someone who had been looking for ‘something’.
I looked away.
In the extremely high-temperature flame reminiscent of the sun, a black shadow shimmered.
<You have contacted Alpha Zero.>
A burning gaze was directed at me.
<What did the baby to eat?>
“…”
<If you want to save Mobius, please come over to Server 1?>
It was an infinitely cold voice that did not match the flames that surrounded his body.
I swallowed quietly.
<Master, return to Earth.>
she continued.
<This place doesn’t suit you.>
