96 – Chapter 32. Born to be Airborne – 3
– 97 –
The beginning was a troop carrying an adult male.
He managed to descend from the shaking altar, put his hostage down on the floor, and fell forward as if it were collapsing.
A colleague, who was trying to support a colleague from his side, saw blood dripping under his helmet.
“Hey, hey. What-“
Soak
Blood was seeping from the crevices of the unit’s power armor, lying on the floor, soaking the ground.
In contrast, the male hostage, which was almost corpse, began to rise slowly.
The blood of demons and humans soaking the altar was gradually gathering at his feet.
Recognizing the abnormality, the other unit members aimed their guns at him at once.
The troops glanced back at the women and children who were the same hostages, but they were still stunned.
[[Not enough]]
The man mumbled in an ancient language that was difficult to understand.
As he raised his hand, one of the paratroopers reflexively pulled the trigger.
There is no live ammunition because it is for training, but a powerful enough magic bullet was fired.
If an ordinary person is hit with the naked body, it is dangerous.
Even the demons were hit and killed several times, so the man wearing only one cloth had to be knocked down by a few magic bullets.
Tooong
However, the man did not avoid the magic bullet and received it as it was.
A colorless and transparent shield wrapped around the man.
As he raised his hand and muttered something, a magic circle appeared on his wrist.
“Damage!”
At the squad leader’s shout, the men in the direction of the man raised their arms or tried to cover up.
However, the opponent should not be thought of as a normal human being.
Quietly, a white flash of light ran through the air.
The beam of light from the man’s hand erased rocks and trees in the path of several hundred meters ahead, blowing away one arm of the soldier who was in cover behind him.
The paratrooper, whose arm was blown off, felt faint from the strong painkiller injected by itself from the power armor.
In the midst of this, he showed superhuman endurance, opened a grenade with one hand, threw it, and passed out.

Purong
The man who had blocked the magic grenade exploding in front of him with a shield wrinkled his eyes and stretched out his hand again.
A horde of white lights rushed behind the rock, and red blood poured from the paratrooper’s severed arm and soaked into the light.
The red spheres of light flew back to the man.
“Damn it, shoot it!”
Other troops saw the scene and started shooting at the man and the light.
However, the magic bullet was blocked by the man’s shield or only penetrated the bloody mass of light.
At that moment, a cry was heard from the squad leader’s communicator.
“Danger close! Everyone back away!”
When the squad leader gestured, the troops began to retreat with their wounded comrades and hostages.
The man began absorbing the sphere of his blood, as if he didn’t care.
“What the hell is that monster?”
It’s enough to deflect magic bullets like that.
It wasn’t power armor, but it was at the level of wearing protective magic applied to a weapon.
“There are allies nearby, so take care of the Hellfire.”
“I know.”
I held the lever of the chain gun in my left hand.
As the paratroopers began to disperse, they had to either buy time or eliminate them until they escaped safely.
When the button on the lever was pressed, the chain gun attached to the front of the helicopter started firing powerfully.
Drink-
It had the power to crush any mount as it was, but it could not break through the man’s shield.
We need a slightly stronger and better penetrating weapon.
“Brimstone.”
[[It takes a little time to reload.]]
Intermediate Fire Spirit spoke as if he was a little confused, and Armion raised his sniper rifle.
“I will buy you time.”
“Okay.”
I adjusted the pedals to turn the aircraft so that the man was sideways.
The moment Armion finished aiming, Brimstone’s armament was ready.
Taang-
The live bullets split the air.
Compared to the magic bullets contained in the chain gun, well.
Isn’t the power itself higher than the chain gun?
I guess I can take some time though.
I turned the aircraft back to fire the prepared Brimstone, and an unexpected scene caught my eye.
A riotous man was pierced by a bullet fired by Armion and stared at him as if to kill him.
Ah, our eyes met.
Looking into his eyes, he’s definitely not human, but that one.
“The defense against magic is great, but he’s the type that is weak against real attacks.”
“Have you hit the anti-margin?”
“I will. Most of the strong demons were like that.”
I heard that demons sometimes appeared on the battlefield during the 10 Years’ War.
Armion, the war hero, seems to have had direct experience with demons.
From nob le mt l dot com
Perhaps they were controlling the enemy country from behind, but in Kanbal, of course, they were sticking out their flippers.
Then I don’t think it would be of much use to shoot a brimstone.
I’d rather leave Armion to attack.
Armion began to load bullets as if he knew my intentions.
I gave up the direct attack and started turning the helicopter sideways, but the man raised his arm.
“This ㅆ-“
Unknowingly, I pulled the lever as far as I could while putting the curse in my mouth.
The aircraft soared, and a dazzling beam of light flashed downwards.
“Turn back to power defense.”
[[Aye, sir!]]
When all the intermediate wind spirits were turned to defense, the sound of the rotor grew louder and the wind blew harder through the open window.
Armion wrestled with the shaking gun for a long time before finally pulling the trigger.
But his bullet missed.
On the contrary, at the same time, the white light beam that crossed at the same time hit his body directly.
The aircraft shook violently, but it wasn’t enough to break through the shield.
“Are you okay?”
“There is no direct damage.”
[[We don’t think we’re going to die.]]
Looking at her stingy, she seems to be able to survive.
“Is the attack delay about 30 seconds?”
“It’s better than the tank I’ve faced before. There is no proper way to attack, though.”
“A tank? You mean when you killed Arachne in the past?”
“No. When are we talking?”
When I gave him a pint glass, Armion scratched the back of his head.
Actually, I don’t know because he didn’t say anything after going to the Spirit Realm.
For safety, I increased the distance from him.
“This is Seraph 1. Request assistance from nearby defense forces. The enemy is strong against magic attacks, so you need a weapon that shoots live bullets. Do not approach the target until assistance arrives.”
“This is Hunter 1. I get it, Over.”
“This is Opa-sama 4. You have already completed your support request. I will also request the airlift for additional armed forces.”
I heard responses from the paratroopers who said their feet were tied behind the altar and from a transport helicopter unit floating in the distance.
Now, I’ll hold onto that guy and catch him when the support comes.
In the meantime, he aimed at me and shot another beam.
The white beam was threatening, but it didn’t do any significant damage to my body, which turned all the spirits into defense.
My magic doesn’t work on him either, so I had to stagnate until the support came as planned.
But the situation was not so easy.
The demons dressed in human skins began to move towards the paratroopers scattered into the forest.
Armion fired a few more rounds, but it wasn’t easy for him to hit the guy who started moving through the woods.
“Hunter 2. The guy is chasing you. Can you hear me?”
There was no response from the paratroopers because they were busy running away.
As seen infrequently, the troops have not yet escaped far.
It seems that the speed of carrying the wounded and the hostages is not fast enough to cover them up.
“I ran out of ammunition. There is no way to stop him now.”
Armion gritted his teeth as if angry.
I searched the warehouse further by mobilizing the spirits in the drone, but there is only a little pistol ammunition that cannot be fired here.
In the meantime, the demons fired a beam towards the paratroopers.
The unit, who barely escaped the attack by almost falling to the floor, rolled over and hid behind a tree.
But you can’t block its attacks with wood or rocks.
That paratrooper almost certainly dies after 30 seconds.
“For now, prepare all the weapons you can shoot.”
[[It won’t work?]]
“You have to attract attention.”
The Brimstone prepared earlier was loaded right away.
It was fired by aiming a little backward to avoid getting caught up in the explosion.
Kooung
There was a much more localized explosion than Hellfire.
Even though the explosion was blocked by the shield, the demons momentarily staggered, perhaps because of the vibration caused by directly attacking the ground.
He looked around here.
“Yes, shoot. Hurry.”
If demons attacked me, he could earn at least 30 seconds more.
In the meantime, I can only hope for a miracle to happen.
I thought so.
The moment I saw the demon’s next move, I needed a miracle right now.
The demon with raised arms aimed at the tree where the troopers were hiding and this side at the same time.
From nob le mt l dot com
Powerful white spheres gathered in his right and left hands, respectively.
Is there no way?
It was a time when he was even preparing to launch a six-shot assault.
Shun-
A rocket from somewhere.
The rocket flew from a high altitude from the rear and hit the wide-open body with both arms raised.
Kwaang
While the demons were caught in the explosion, the paratroopers hiding behind a tree threw a grenade nearby and quickly fled into the forest.
“This is Seraph 2. Erif, can you hear me?”
“Chermia!”
I felt like I was going to cry at the beautiful voice I had been waiting for.
“I heard the communication and brought a helicopter from school and met in the middle. I got one, and Shane is doing the disarmament here. – Erif, I thought I was being attacked, so I shot it first. Is that guy a human?”
“A demon pretending to be human. They attacked well.”
When the dust that rose from the rocket subsided, there was a demon crouching there.
Looking at the long dents around it, it looks like he shot the attack he was preparing for on the floor.
It must have been dangerous.
Thanks to the two of them who joined much faster than expected, the crew was saved, but even after being hit directly by a rocket, I couldn’t help but be amazed at the durability of the living creature.
It looks as strong as any other tank.
“Seraph 2. Stuck behind me If he attacks, you can’t stop it with your defenses.”
「Larger.」
After that, the workshop was miserable but boring.
He shoots, we dodge or I block it. Repeatedly until all the rockets run out, so it felt like an exchange rather than a battle.
I remembered some rockets attached to drones and mini-helicopters, and when I fired them all, the demon’s body was turned into rags.
After properly destroying the surrounding trees with Hellfire, they could not hide from the rockets that were flying at a speed that was difficult to avoid and were constantly being hit head-on.
But it persisted with its phenomenal regenerative power.
“Now, I think I’ll take it down with just a few more shots.”
“Now there is nothing to attack.”
Slowly, the time has come for the reinforcements to come.
Even if he noticed it, he started going back to the altar.
「Run away.」
“I don’t know what will happen if I leave it there. I don’t think this will be the end.”
Like Armion’s foreboding, it felt somehow ominous.
As if not only us but also him were waiting for something, dark clouds were gathering over the altar.
And below it.
At the altar where the corpses of demons and paratroopers were gathered, something short wearing a gray robe was holding a large staff.
“Is that guy just trying to pass the time?”
“I don’t think it is.”
The altar made of stone and iron was moving.
The altar, which ate the corpse through a deep and dark crevice, began to take shape.
When the demon who ran away from us climbed on top of it, an object that was an altar swallowed him up as if he had been waiting.
“Probably a pilot. Like me.”
The object that finally took shape was a single gigantic doll made of stone, iron, and a corpse.
The [Ruind golem], An ugly demon weapon, appeared on the ground after hundreds of years.
