Do-do-do-do-doo!
50 BMG bullets containing more than 15,000 joules of kinetic energy poured out at a rate of 600 rounds per minute with a harsh sound that seemed to tear the eardrum.
Quagga Gagagak!
It was an attack that flew with a force that seemed to shatter everything in the world, and the inside of the arsenal was full of horribly broken golems, but this time the same result did not come out.
“Damn it!”
bang!
Zhao hurriedly rolled his body at the attack that flew through the dust and deflagration, and the huge bullet that pierced the place where he was standing was coated with adamantium and dug into the very sturdy wall of the armory.
Kwajik!
A giant blade wrapped in a blue-glowing aura split the floor, and Zhao had no choice but to keep rolling and dodging.
“You bastard!”
Do-do-do-do-doo!
Zao stepped back as if he had moved in space and opened up a distance, and fired his heavy machine gun again, but the three-meter-long humanoid golem surged towards Zao, enduring the attack with the Mana Barrier.
Teddying.
Something fell from Zhao’s hand as he hurriedly fled, and landed on the golem’s feet.
Kwareung!
Perhaps because it was an enclosed space, blue flames rose with an even louder roar, and white phosphorus-mixed flames rose to 3,000 degrees and covered the surface of the golem.
charrr!
Taking a deep breath, Zhao took out a magazine from her subspace bag and connected it, then took out a syringe and inserted it into her thigh to replenish the consumed aura and stamina.
No matter how much the golem of the Great War era, it seemed that it had no choice but to stop at the incendiary grenade mixed with white phosphorus.
“Huh!”
As Zhao tried to stimulate his aura with a deep breath to absorb the medicinal effect of the supplement as much as possible, he heard a mechanical sound in his ears.
“It holds up pretty well.”
“… you damn bastard.”
Zao gnashed his teeth at the sound of machinery coming from deep inside the armory.
“The guys I met before were relatively easy.”
“Don’t insult my comrades!”
His cold eyes were full of anger, and he looked like he would charge at the enemy at any moment, but Zhao’s body did not move.
Aside from his burning rage, Zhao was a seasoned soldier, and he knew that if he acted on his emotions, the end would not be good.

Moonpa Bayonet.
Also called bayonet gate, this gate was created for the purpose of utilizing the combat capability of unmanned soldiers in the military.
Although the secular faction actively uses non-martial items, the bayonet went further and had an extreme idea of seeing martial arts as an auxiliary means of weapons, and completed its identity as a literary faction through numerous battlefields.
Of course, due to the characteristics of the Munpa, it had a close relationship with the military, and the tradition has come down to the present, so most of the literary men were soldiers or engaged in military-related work.
The same goes for Zhao.
Zhao’s exact identity is the Special Mobile Infantry Battalion under the Luna Defense Force.
This unit, which is made entirely of talented people, had the mission of charging into the heart of the enemy in case of emergency, and during normal times, it was in charge of military-related intelligence work or surveillance work.

Minor conflicts continued outside the city, but the defense force’s position in Luna, where there is no clear main enemy, has greatly diminished.
Either way, an army is an army.
Luna’s administration, which couldn’t forget the great war, did not exert more than necessary influence on the military, and the archipelago administration, which knew the atmosphere well, did not confront and cooperate with each other and got along well.
It was natural for such an army to be told about the player, and it was the same for both the Luna’s administration and the military that judged the player as a potential threat.
The problem is that if the player doesn’t confess, you can’t tell if that person is a player or not.
Some players who first appeared in Luna ran amok without knowing the fear of the world and were killed. Since then, the players have been hiding in the darkness of Luna, and Luna’s administration has been working hard to find out the player’s existence.
What the administration paid the most attention to was the player’s progress speed.
It’s surprising that all of them are capable, but the speed of their development far exceeds that of ordinary talented people.
Given enough time and resources, it was predicted that it would not be impossible for all players to become superhumans, which meant that the city of Luna itself could fall into the player’s hands.
Such a prediction was a great threat to the legislators who wanted to keep the city of Luna in their hands forever, but to openly hunt down the players, there was a risk of provoking the superhumans who were relatively quiet due to the enforcement officer’s check, as well as the chaos that would come to Luna.
So Luna’s administration moved the inspection team, and requested cooperation from the military, so Zhao and a few others started their activities.
After that time passed and we got the result of finding some players, but the mission was not over.
In the meantime, news of colleagues who were committed to the mission like Zhao was cut off.
After confirming that all of them had been brutally murdered, Zhao suppressed his boiling anger and pursued them with all his might.
Zhao, who gradually penetrated deeper into Luna’s darkness and did not stop pursuing, was finally able to catch a clue, and that’s how he was able to come this far.
“yes. Pretty tenacious. Well, the National Guard intelligence unit was persistent in the original game. Anyway, bugs are annoying.”
There was something hard to believe was Doyle’s emotion contained in the sound of the machine that resounded beyond the fiercely burning golem.
Something completely different from Doyle, who was close to an obedient soldier, who had been recruited into the team and entered the dungeon.
There were moments when doubts about his attitude, which was considered to be a model soldier, faded, but he did not lose his doubt until the end and was able to catch up after all.
Zhao was convinced that what he was seeing was the true face of the player who murdered Zhao’s comrades and took cover in Luna’s darkness.
A sense of choice that regards the citizens of Luna as infinitely low and does not treat them as human beings.
If such people gain power, it is impossible to predict what kind of hell will unfold in Luna.
This is the biggest reason why we decided to exclude players who can develop infinitely.
Zhao, with a hard face, took a combat stance with a heavy machine gun in both hands.
‘Exclude from here!’
Not to avenge my comrades, not to let such a dangerous bastard into the city.
He made up his mind to eliminate Doil by mobilizing everything he had.
Even your own life if need be!
Zhao’s body blew a bleak bloody breath, and perhaps feeling that atmosphere, a small driving sound resonated from the deepest part of the warehouse where Doyle’s voice could be heard.
Gee ying!
A red light flashed in the golem’s eyes, which blew away the flames that covered its entire body with an increasingly loud drive sound.
I don’t know what Doyle is doing, but it’s never going to be good for Zhao.
The time when the aura shimmered in Zao’s hardened body and the heavy machine gun was about to fire at any moment.
“This is why I can’t like the players.”
“I understand.”
With a voice full of annoyance, Lucas and the others entered the armory.
***
Lucas’ eyes overflowing with madness, as well as Fioren and Peirung’s momentum, which have clearly changed, brought a color to Zhao’s face.
“receive.”
Lucas threw something at Zhao, and Zhao’s eyes flashed as he checked the shimmering ampoule.
“It is the elixir of the Great War era. Use it when you need a break.”
“Thank you.”
The place where the most records of the Great War remain is the Luna Defense Forces.
Zhao also had relevant knowledge, and was well aware of how to use this elixir.
“I can’t run away. player.”
Lucas, looking at everyone in the group, smiled coldly and shouted at the darkness beyond the golem.
It was clear that the player aiming for this dungeon was doing something in the depths, but he thought that with this much power gathered, he would be able to subdue it.
Confidence flashed on everyone’s faces, and Pei-Lung stepped forward, brandishing a strangely polished spear.
“Finish it quickly.”
That moment when he seemed to be ready to destroy the humanoid golem and run into the arsenal.
“…Did you use the item?”
Everyone in the party put on a bewildered expression at the anger contained in the machine sound.
“What about that?”
Lucas’s bewildered words expressed everyone’s feelings, but Doyle didn’t think so.
“…I was holding my breath waiting for this dungeon to open, did you use the item?”
Deed deed!
Everyone’s faces froze at the vibrations and momentum from inside the armory.
“…that’s all mine! These worms! Everything here!”
At Doil’s cry, full of emotion that the outcome was fixed and that they had to follow it unconditionally, a dark murderous spirit gushed out of the party’s eyes.
If you are a citizen of Luna, you have greed by default, and you will not choose any means or methods to get what you want, but I thought that this is not the case.
No matter how much luna is like the last, there is a law and order of its own.
It is not strange that Doyle’s words, which directly contradict such an order, had a strong repulsion.
“I must kill you.”
Peirong’s momentum grew heavy.
“I agree. I can’t work with a guy like that.”
Fioren’s face contorted and a ferocious expression came to mind.
The letters of light appeared and Fioren, who was wrapped in a barrier, beckoned, and magic light descended on Zhao and Feilong’s bodies.
Fioren’s ability to grant a barrier that provides strong defense as well as augmentation magic that enhances physical abilities at once was admirable, but no one reacted to it.
A haze shimmered through Lucas’ body, and the temperature around him began to rise.
Everyone in the party rushed into battle posture, exuding serious momentum, and at that moment, a mechanical sound filled with irritation and anger rang out.
“die!”
Koo Goo Goo.
In the darkness inside the armory, something started to move with a big vibration, and the golem that shook off the flames raised its blade and stepped forward.
“You are the one who loses!”
Fuhahahahak!
The battle began with a loud cry and a pillar of fire erupting from Lucas’ hand.
***
‘Hmm.’
John, who hid himself in an optical aesthetic body, quietly permeated the armory that had turned into a battlefield.
“die! die! die!”
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The arsenal, filled with emotion and Doyle’s machine sounds and explosions, was reminiscent of a battlefield.
I don’t know how he did it, but Doyle was manipulating the golems in the armory and pushing the party against them, and the party was doing quite well against those golems.
Originally, each person was a person who could deal with a golem, but now that they have strengthened their power for one reason or another, it was close to impossible to stop the party with halfway golems.
Kwajijik!
As if to prove it, Peirung’s spear pierced the golem’s chest so easily, Fioren protected the body with a barrier and poured out all kinds of auxiliary magic, Lucas melted the golem by creating flames like the sun, and large-caliber heavy machine guns in both hands. Zhao’s ability to lift and literally crush enemies was formidable.
“These worms!”
An angry Doyle poured golems from inside the arsenal, but the party pulverized the enemies without difficulty, and the final moment came.
thud!
“Is this the end?”
Pei-Lung, who pulled out the spear from the chest of the fallen golem, sneered at the other side of the darkness, and the rest of the party had a fishy smile on their faces.
“If this is the end, isn’t it boring?”
It was then that Doyle’s voice, which had filled the armory, was cut off by Lucas’ words overflowing with madness, and silence continued for a moment.
“···yes. You can’t do that with automatic hunting, right?”
Pushy!
Something moved beyond the darkness with the sound of steam, and slowly its shape began to emerge.
thud!
Something of a thin humanoid slowly walked out, and in an instant, the group’s faces hardened severely with the momentum that took over the inside of the armory.
“You can be happy. You guys are the first to fall victim to berserk warriors… ghah!”
Kwak!
The warhead flew from an unexpected direction and hit Doyle’s body, sending him flying into the wall with a huge explosion.
“uh?”
That moment when everyone’s expressions became bewildered by the sudden situation.
blank.
After firing the warhead and throwing the projectile to the floor, John appeared.
Chick.
“Whoa.”
John lit a cigarette, inhaled deeply, and then spat out.
“I lived only with my mouth. You kid.”
Clap!
John took out the magic wand from his bosom along with the horse and pulled the trigger casually.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The warhead was stuck in the direction Doyle had flown, and the sight of John with a calm face facing the explosion and flames that occurred again caught the eyes of the party.
