070. hunting (4)
bang!
His posture was momentarily shaken in the aftermath of the explosion.
In the place where the concrete fragments were scattered and the dust was cleared, the enemies caught in the shock were lying on the floor with their bodies torn somewhere.
“Huh? stop? This body attack?”
When he raised his head, he saw a giant with one arm full of mechanical devices looking down through a hole in the ceiling.
“I thought it was a gathering place for mercenaries who have no genealogy, but I didn’t know that there were people chatting like this.”
At the end of the arm and the tip of the barrel, mana had already gathered again and was waiting for it to be fired after completing the fusion.
‘Body remodeling. The fusion point is exposed to the outside, so it doesn’t seem like an expensive piece of equipment.’
It was a device that converted the mana in the body into wave energy and fired it, allowing normal mana users to use magic-like skills.
Estelle was fine.
He looked at me and waited for instructions.
I immediately prepared to ‘interfere’ with my mana, and looked at the blue snake tattoo on his forearm.
“If it’s a genealogy, that seems to be more of a problem. To receive such a body modifier fluff, the Blue Serpent is out of date.”
“what?”
“Aren’t you relying on such equipment because you are not confident in your own abilities?”
The boy’s face turned red.
Recruitment of members is at the discretion of the executive.
As Parterre was greedy for business expansion, he received members from all backgrounds and backgrounds.
“I warn you, you better not shoot.”
“die!”
Whoa!
I twisted the elements of mana gathered at the tip of the barrel.
It was similar to blocking the muzzle, and an explosion occurred in his arm with the shot.
“Great!”
Estelle jumped into the hole with my wink and slammed it down with her shield.
I also took a big leap upstairs by strengthening my legs with magic.
widely.
He immediately pulled out his shotgun and aimed the wriggling giant on the floor.
Seeing this, Estelle raised her shield and covered her body.
bang!
Pish!
Blood splashed in all directions, and the giant’s movements stopped.
“Is it okay if I kill you right away? You don’t even have to ask me how many Blue Serpents are in this building.”
“I am going to go up to the roof and take a closer look. All you have to do is kill all the enemies you see.”
I looked around.
Early in the evening, the hall without a window was lit up with colorful lights, and guests who could not get out were crouching under the table.
The place we climbed is a large round stage in the center of the cabaret, with enemies all around us.
Roughly 30 people.
The cabaret was located at the bottom of the high-rise building, and the offices of various organizations were clustered at the top.
It seemed that the fast-acting guys were already coming down past the cabaret.
They had very tense faces when they saw what had just happened.
“The audience was waiting.”
“It’s not a very friendly face. Should I even dance to raise the mood?”
“Ask for defense.”
As she nodded and I started preparing for the magic, the bullets came pouring in.
Her mana-infused bracelets shone, and soon a large, transparent, golden membrane appeared around us.
Doo doo doo doo!
The number of bullets pouring out exceeded 100 rounds per second, but the shield was unaffected.
The strength of the shield and its duration depended on how much mana was expended, and in terms of the amount of mana alone, her mana exceeded several times the mana I had.
The shooting stopped, and some guys clapped their knives with mana and ran towards them.
Estelle ran out.
The guys hit the knife with a mace just before they stuck to the shield, and what they couldn’t do they crumpled up by grabbing them with their bare hands covered in mana.
“Nonsense!”
Without a moment’s panic, Mace stabbed her in the stomach and they grabbed her stomach and fell to the floor.
It was an overwhelming force car.
To deal with her, you need the same ‘skills’ as Zervia.
However, there was no way for the low-level members of the circuit level 1 to have that kind of ability.
“done. Come back.”
She nodded and came back to me and stood there.
I stretched my palms over my head.
The fused element was vibrating with an eerie sound.
As I clenched my palms, the elements that had been trembling escaped between my fingers and shot out in dozens of directions.
Jigsaw-!
Become a bullet of the thin, thin wind.
Depending on the input coordinates, the direction is turned around.
towards the enemy you have set as your target.
Bullets made of wind pierced the foreheads of the enemies with such a speed that they could not even react.
In an instant, only the sound of his body falling to the floor resounded.
The only people left in the hall were us and the guests.
You could hear the footsteps of the enemies from upstairs, but it seemed that there would be some time left before they arrived.
“Hey! Sah, save me!”
As I approached, a customer lying under the table called out in a terrified voice.
“… … .”
If you were going to kill it, you wouldn’t have to work hard to set the coordinates by choosing a magic that can limit the range.
“Stand back.”
I looked around, determined the direction, and stood in front of one wall.
shudder.
When the shotgun’s loading handle was turned back, two shells popped up and fell to the floor with a strong gunpowder smell.
A new bullet was pulled out of his pocket and inserted into the loading hole.
It was a 12 gauge bullet I made myself.
Each of the 12 iron beads inside the shell was engraved with “Fire Explosion”.
It cannot be said that the output is high, but since there are a lot of them, there must be no difficulty in penetrating this level of wall.
shudder.
After reloading, he aimed at the wall.
bang!
The concrete wall collapsed with one roar.
It was three stories high.
In the opposite direction to the entrance where the street fighting was taking place, the street seen below was quiet.
I turned back and shouted.
“If you don’t want to get involved in a fight, go.”
At the same time, he fired his rifle towards the stairs and slowly moved backwards towards the stairs upstairs.
“Hey, don’t push! Do not push!”
An enemy coming up from downstairs was hit by a bullet and collapsed, and the guys that followed were struggling not to be pushed.
In the meantime, I looked at the guests.
Estelle was receiving guests one by one, who suddenly descended to the ground through the hole and jumped.
─If you don’t want to die, jump down! hurry!
The guests, who were hesitant at first, jumped out at the sound of gunfire behind their backs.
‘I’ll need more time.’
shudder. tick.
The used magazines rolled down.
Immediately after inserting the next magazine and firing, the enemies who came up in a short time fell down in the same posture they were trying to attack.
Estelle, who finished the rescue, jumped up through the hole and stuck next to me.
“Sorry. Moving without permission.”
“no. Good job.”
The chin of the stairs touched the heel.
After stretching out his arms to absorb mana from the corpses, he pulled out several small explosives from his arms and swung his arms as hard as he could to spread them in the hall.
Then he turned around and climbed the stairs upstairs.
“What if I live as much as you kill and my karma is offset? Of course, all the people you kill are criminals who deserve to be killed.”
“… Seeing you talking nonsense, I guess you can afford it.”
“Chi, I just did it.”
Come to think of it, she never took the enemy’s breath directly.
Even if he breaks his limbs and makes him unable to fight.
It was because the doctrine of the Church to respect all life on earth was deeply ingrained in her unconscious.
The footsteps of the enemy upstairs were far away.
I pulled out the shotgun again and reloaded it with ammunition.
It was a different type of bullet from the previous one, which simply increased the penetration power of the iron ball.
“The enemy… !”
bang!
As soon as they reached the upper floor, the enemy appeared and collapsed with an iron ball piercing their body.
At the same time, a vibration echoed from downstairs, and dull screams and explosions were heard.
I knocked down the hallway wall, blocking the stairs going down.
From this moment on, I could not get out of the building unless I jumped out of a window or made a hole in the floor.
Either way, it was impossible with an average skill.
bang!
“Uh-huh!”
It was a series of reloading and firing.
The sound of shells falling to the floor.
The sound of footsteps moving incessantly.
The enemy’s flurry that rings every time you go around the hallway.
There was Estelle on the back, so there was no need to worry about being attacked.
Go around the entire floor and eradicate the enemy.
Not missing a single one of those who hide or run away.
The horse was an office floor, but in reality it was nothing more than a dormitory for the members of the organization.
As it is a large-scale entertainment facility, armed situations can happen at any time, and it is better to have a nearby force to respond to.
Ting!
The lock hanging on the safe in the innermost room at the end of the hallway fell off with one shot.
What was inside were documents related to the business of the cabaret operated in the building, some cash, and precious metals.
Hwareuk!
The contents of the documents were scanned once, memorized and burned.
Things like access lists of major accounts or factors.
It was the most important property to run the store.
“It will take some time to restore the store.”
The recovery time is delayed.
It’s like saying your income is going down right now.
That wasn’t the only purpose, but I had in mind that I would raise Parter’s anger as much as possible and cloud his judgment.
“There are a lot of things like rings and necklaces.”
“This is connected to a nearby casino. If I can’t pay off the debt, I’ll have to brush off the things I’m wearing.”
I took the precious metal.
The amount of cash was not significant.
It was used as firewood to spread the fire in the office and spread it out.
“One more person here.”
Estelle said, lifting up a corpse. A blue snake tattoo was engraved on the nape of his neck.
“Is this the fifth?”
I nodded.
About 50 to 60 members are resident in each large-scale entertainment building.
Among them, the percentage of Blue Serpents who act as managers is about 10%.
It was somewhat of an expected ratio.
I left the fire behind and went up the stairs.
Enemies still appeared, but their numbers gradually decreased.
“Now here… !”
bang!
I went around the hallway, eradicated the enemy, and continued to climb the floor.
After about 10 minutes, I was able to reach the roof.
“… … .”
A warm breeze swept through my body once.
He created water by magic to wash away the blood on his clothes and body, and created a wind to dry it.
Estelle said, wiping away the moisture from her hair as if she had just finished taking a shower.
“I see the police over there.”
She pointed to a square with a street from the cabaret building, where several police cars were standing.
“It’s not moving. It looks like someone is in the driver’s seat.”
“It must be waiting for the fight to end completely.”
I looked down the roof.
The number of both sides decreased and the street battle was coming to an end, but several sedans were seen lining up in the distance.
“The wait will probably be longer, though.”
“Aren’t you still going to have to pretend to suppress it? Police are also mana users.”
“It seems that the chief of police in charge of this area cares deeply about his subordinates. Branch.”
I looked down at the scenery under the roof and smirked once, then turned around.
Then he jumped to the roof of another building.
Estelle followed me with a face left with a little bit of embarrassment and confusion.
* * *
The same routine was repeated for several days after that.
Fighting also took place in Areas 44 and 46, centered on Area 45.
When a battle broke out while observing the city from the rooftop, he drove his newly equipped armored vehicle and participated in the city battle.
Only Blue Serpent members were removed as the top priority, and if there were facilities operated by Blue Serpents around, they went inside and created a mess.
“Lack of public power. Is it a lack of ability or a bystander?”
An article criticizing the police was published in the district newspaper, but within that evening, all newspapers were recalled and the newspaper company was closed under the pretext of ‘creating anxiety’.
Rumors circulated that he saw the reporter who wrote the article being caught by the police and put into a car.
People were not as anxious as I thought.
On the contrary, it seemed like he was used to this kind of thing.
He avoided the entertainment district as much as possible, leading his daily life on the streets and elsewhere.
Rather, it was the nightlife who were visiting from the area below the 30th division, and their footsteps were cut off.
It was the floor that accounted for the largest portion of sales.
In the grocery store near the mansion, Estelle whispered as she picked up fruits and put them in the shopping cart.
“Slightly, Blue Serpent is also feeling impatient. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard.”
It was purely because of us.
Although neither side could be 100% certain of victory, it was clear that the battle would not have been this long without our intervention.
“A lot of people wonder who we are.”
As much as we wore masks, our image was clearly imprinted on the enemy.
As we passed by the nightlife, we could hear the members of the gang who mentioned us.
Fear of overwhelming power.
Or doubts about whether the opponent really belongs to Fertilland.
“If it were me, I would have freed people. I’m trying to find someone and reveal their identity.”
“Like the guy sitting on the back shelf watching us right now. Did you notice?”
She nodded.
“It’s early. From the time I passed the street.”
