scheduled sequence
If there’s one thing I haven’t touched, it’s that I haven’t given the order to stop the raid.
[You appear when the flower tree changes, and you bend the branches to collect the scattered petals.]
[Warrior, you are here! Oh come-!]
Scorpio’s song was delivered only to me, so the excited shaking of the claws was felt by others as the final resistance.
So, in a way, it was natural for the distance dealers to pour out their firepower.
Fortunately, the supplementary team 2 was unable to join in time due to the aftermath of the awakening period.
Whiririk!
Team 1’s whirlwind created by Kate Holding and Lara Newberry’s penetrating bullets were never at a level to be overlooked.
As the gusts of wind lifted the monster’s body, bullets flew through the tiny gap and lodged in it.
The bullets may be the same as those of an ordinary soldier, but with the enhancement ability of a 3rd class hero… I could pierce the soft stomach.
What a profit!
The moment the monster screams, to make matters worse, even Lina Taylor’s follow-up hits.
biocombustion.
The American girl, who manipulated the organic body, combined oxygen to the injured area to cause a small explosion, and by that time, Scorpio also tried to reveal the monster’s signature aggression.
Perhaps, if I hadn’t taken on the role of mediator belatedly, the second game would have started.
“Stop fighting. The suppression is complete. Do not attack.”
“… subdued?”
[Lee Yong-soo, please reconfirm. Is suppression complete?]
“yes that’s right.”
Reluctantly, it’s best to use my body to block the attack, so I climb onto Scorpio’s back again.
The tip of the tail had been cut off in the aftermath of the seal explosion earlier, so there was no need to worry about being stung by a poison dart.
“Put the tongs down.”
[…] Humans attacked first. sick. Attacked while dancing. cowardly.]
“… The other side took your dance as a signal to attack. It was just a small misunderstanding.”
[Can’t you tell the difference between dancing and attacking?]
“Because I was scared. Humans don’t have hard skin like you. One hit and you’re on the verge of death.”
[Moribund state?]
“I’m about to die.”
Just in time, the parrot also tries to persuade with a grumbling voice.
＜If we fight anyway, we lose. you bitch, huh? The durability of the carapace is also close, and the tail is half blown away. On the other hand, our Yongsu is fine! Are you lively? Are you going to play one more round? Then let’s see, what day is today?＞
[Is time important?]
＜It’s not important, it’s your memorial day.＞
[…] On the day of the memorial service, I did not understand.]
＜I mean the day I return to the bosom of Xochiquetzal.＞
[Oh, good.]
＜… … .＞
Not particularly effective.
However, there is a part that bothers me to continue the conversation by voice, so I turned off the earphones and action cam and continued the conversation.
“I have no intention of taking too long. I’ll say it again. I heard that we can cooperate.”
[…] That’s right. The enemy of my enemies is like my allies.]
“yes. In fact, I’m already holding hands with the servants of Chalchiutlicue.”
[Is it Tlatoani?]
It took a while to stop at unfamiliar words.
He intuitively knows that Tlatoani means Venetus.
“right. We caught Allamandra together. The Apostle of the Smoking Mirror.”
[Eagle of the North? you?]
＜Why? Do you have any doubts that the level is low for catching an eagle? Poison-spitted dung, parrot warriors know how to use their brains.＞
[It must have been a mean move.]
＜So what? Winning is good. Life is a trophy for the winner. What’s the point if you die while pursuing the right process?＞
[He is too. If you do, warrior. What are you fighting for?]
The answer was fixed.
“The Hummingbird of the West.”
And unexpectedly, Scorpio didn’t accept the offer and just bumped his claws together.
It was easy to see why.
I was scared.
[I am the servant of the goddess of art, beauty and love. I don’t want to be ashamed of the name Sochiquetzal, but the strength of the hummingbird brings fear. Witchilopochtli, he is the god of war. It stole my ego, and it’s a being with a seal on its tail.]
“Are the servants of Witchilopochtli that strong?”
[Indeed, it is. Because it was born for battle, its skin is harder and tougher than mine, and it crushes opponents with indescribable power. Weak sounds should be avoided, but they are not without concerns.]
However, if you look closely, it makes no sense.
＜So are you going to leave me?＞
[…] … .]
＜Just because the smoking mirror paused for a second won’t solve the situation.＞
[…] I understood what you meant. The smoking mirror has lost three, but the three evil gods will not let go of their hands, even though they are fighting for the initiative… If you want to change the fate of the goddess, you will have to choose a side in the end. I have no choice in the first place.]
＜Yes. Now I understand.＞
Literally.
In the end, you have to choose a side to fight.
And as long as Xochiquetzal was entangled in a bad relationship with the smoking mirror, Tezcatlipoca, the conclusion was fixed.
[What do you want from me?]
“A temporary alliance. Defeating the monster… No, I need help getting rid of the Apostle. Joining forces with Venetus would be a good option for me too.”
Although the parrot did not understand human words easily, an additional explanation followed, but Scorpio quickly accepted my suggestion.
[Then I should make a deal. I will give you strength Instead, you must promise me the release of Xochiquetzal. To remove the yoke that oppresses her and to escape from the vicious celestial earth.]
“great. accept it.”
[…] I will not underestimate human strength. Please, I wish I could win. Sochiquetzal will also yearn for a moment of vengeance.]
＜Play tail first and say that.＞
[…] … .]
＜Let’s find a place to hide and move. I’ll take him Yongsu you… Take care of your people.＞
After that, it was the parrot’s role, and the monster in the shape of a scorpion started moving toward the riverside following the bird’s guidance.
At the same time, I also turn on my earphones and action cam and turn my head.
“… … .”
“… … .”
In that moment, the divine magic lost its power, and there was nothing to see except for a few lights in the clearing.
Countless eyes were twinkling.
“… Take care of the wounded first.”
“Is the situation over?”
“yes.”
One more detail is deferred to a later date.
on the other side of the battlefield.
A tanker from Indonesia, belonging to the supplementary team 2, was coughing up blood.
“Are you exposed?”
“Awakening period was well blocked with a shield.”
“But why?”
As soon as I got closer and asked, the man who had been stuffing tranquilizers and neutralizers gave an answer with a gloomy complexion.
“It melted.”
“… … .”
I can’t get in the way any more than this, I examine the shield thrown to the ground.
The surface is bubbling as if it were lava.
As if it were an awakening period, it seemed that it was terrible.
Fortunately, the tanker of the supplementary team 1 (I blocked the main team) threw away his shield in time.
“Lee, can we get the monster’s poison? I think it would be nice to do a serum study.”
“… Aren’t you poisoned?”
“Yes. Even though it’s not directly hit, it’s like that. My skin was hot as if it had been burned, and my body vitals were unstable. I’m not sure if it’s a poison or a curse, but just in case.”
“Okay. I’ll get you.”
Supplemental team 1 engineer, Lara Newberry’s request was accepted.
I couldn’t explain that the hummingbird of the west was something else and not Scorpio.
There must be a fight with a monster in the future, but I hoped that there would be no harm.
* * *
A week later, in northern Pakistan.
The ‘Project L’ team, including myself, started defending the local wave as soon as the suppression of Scorpio was over.
Since most of the low-level monsters were on the low side, the subjugation difficulty was also low, so they succeeded in destroying the core group within three days of being put into the capital defense operation.
On the 5th day, they recaptured the western mountain cities of Mardan and Peshawar, and on the 7th day, they were on the verge of recapturing Fort Randy Kotal near the Afghan border.
[Lee Yong-soo, please push all the way to the central area. The pressure is increasing near the slope.]
“Acknowledgment.”
Fuck!
Had it crossed half of the inside of the fort?
I run down the muddy slope and clean up the monsters that break through the walls.
In the rainy weather, the field of view narrows, and the armor worn on the body feels relatively heavy.
There was no reason to be swung against only 9th graders.
Sharp forepaws resembling a scythe and a snout with fangs are not avoided, but the whole thing is smashed with a gauntlet, and the guys who attack from the left and right using the difference in elevation of the terrain in succession… processing from the left.
The guy who jumped up from the hill on the right uses the new ability, [Transfer of Attribute – Apostle of Flowers] to hold him down.
It was thanks to the ability to control the flora following water.
Keek!
“… Jehe ke daneh!”
“… … ?”
The moment he stuck the gauntlet into his fang-filled snout.
The Pakistani soldiers who followed me muttered something, but there was no way to understand it because it was not English.
“… It meant beware of poisonous teeth.”
According to the officer’s comment, he shouted in Urdu (Pakistan’s official language).
However, there was no time for a leisurely conversation, so I quickly speeded up according to the combat support team’s briefing.
The target is the Michinini Barrier at an altitude of 345 meters.
The Project L team divided into two branches and entered the attack, but the other side said that there was a small problem.
[Currently, a melee is unfolding. About 400 of them flocked at once, and a number of injuries occurred on the Pakistani side. Proximity job support is needed.]
“… 2 minutes to arrive.”
Did I tell you to go back in a hurry?
“You’re leaving in two minutes?”
“You go up like this. We have to push this side this way.”
On the battlefield, there’s no such thing as useless noise, so I hurriedly fly to the roof of a two-story building, leaving Lina Taylor and Ina Miranova behind.
Built on a hill, it was the same height as where I stood.
After that, it’s time for the circus.
Skip the rooftops and railings one after another and head towards the opposite road.
I was worried about the durability of the building floor, but I solved that part with the parrot’s [Three-Dimensional Detection].
＜The top flag. It will last for about 2 seconds. Don’t think about staying for a long time, think of it as a handle that you rely on for a while.＞
And soon, a gently sloping road was revealed, and at the same time, a group of monsters could be seen pouring down from the top of the hill.
If the situation is like that, even if I intervene, a quick solution won’t be possible.
In response, I calculated the distance (it was about 80 meters) and then took out the long-distance strike means.
If [Break (Tear and Burst)] is gathered and tied with [Concentration], and the second new ability [Track Adjustment] is used to create a path… … .
Got the card!
The restrained ferocity of [Patan] creates a new clearing up the hill.
It was [Energia], the highest level of normal ability.
