＜ Episode 81 ＞
What will happen if you encounter a situation you never imagined?
The human brain exerts more power than its ability to remember the situation, and it remains as a strong impression and is never forgotten.
In the illusion that time had slowed down, two bullets penetrated the girl’s body, and everyone present clearly imprinted the results of the bullets.
puck!
A single bullet shattered his thigh and severed his slender leg.
puck!
Another bullet went through the knee and tore the remaining leg away from the body.
thud.
With both legs gone in an instant, the girl could not support herself and fell to the floor.
Ugh.
A small but eerie sound was heard from the face of the girl who had fallen from her face, and strangely, it was clearly in everyone’s ears.
“······ah. ah?!”
The girl’s mouth was covered in blood as she raised her face while trembling, and her nose was slightly twisted and bleeding.
The terrible pain and sense of loss felt throughout her body, and her spirit, which had escaped from the incredible reality, returned to its place and the corner of the girl’s mouth widened.
“aaagh!”
Screams rang out, and everyone affected by the negative emotions inside shuddered.
“it hurts! it hurts! It hurts!”
Writhing in pain and trying to hold on somehow, but three of his limbs are gone.
He tries to support himself with his two severed legs, his left arm that has evaporated below his wrist, and his right arm that is still intact, but the shock-stricken body does not listen.
“Wow!”
Dark red blood pours from the mouth, and the aura manifested in the form of fog recklessly rampages and gnaws at the surroundings.
Kwajijik.
It wouldn’t be strange if he died from excessive blood loss, but his unmanned instincts reached their climax and unconsciously stopped the bleeding.
The aura that had been wildly rampaging subsided a little, perhaps because he was somehow recovering his severed limbs with auras.
“···it hurts! Doyle… lithium. Where are you······.”
No matter how much they say that they are unmanned and players who have reached their climax, the essence is that of a teenage girl.
As he struggled in pain, his face, covered in tears, runny nose and blood, was distorted, and he gave out a hollow voice.
and that moment.
Kwajik!
“Kaak!”
John’s hand, which quickly approached, seemed to be lifted, and the knife dug into the girl’s one remaining elbow.
Kwajik!
“Aagh!”
The handle of the dagger that had been driven into the floor like a skewer was threaded through, and the girl was unable to do anything about it.
Because I only had one hand.
Charleuk.
When John opened his hands wide, several objects appeared in the air, as if watching a magician’s show, but no one admired them.
Oddly enough, John grabbed one of the floating objects and waved his wrist lightly.
Chararak.
A lump of metal the size of an adult’s fist swayed, and soon changed its appearance to a thin one.
A metal rope extending like a snake bound the girl’s entire body.
“eww! town!”
A mask designed for serious criminals was put on the girl’s face like a stigma, and now the girl is in a position where she can’t even bite her tongue on her own.
Kwajik!
A terrifying device was inserted into the cervical vertebrae at the back of the girl’s neck, and the restraints, which were devised with all sorts of malice to subdue the talented, calmed the master’s aura at once.
hooked! hooked!
Two fluorescent-colored syringes that would make you feel dizzy just by looking at them mercilessly penetrated the girl’s body and immediately began their role.
A new product from Organmaker, with whom John has a decent relationship.
The organ maker, who has an awesome test subject named Ivan, is rapidly increasing its technology, and nanomachines for emergency hemostasis and anesthetic that is said to defeat one type of demon run rampant inside the girl’s body.
The girl’s head, which had been shaking and wriggling, fell forward, and I grabbed her hair with a strong hand.
Uh.
Dark red panels floated around John, and when the girl was placed on a panel the size of a human torso, the panels combined to form a cube.
Cheer up.
The liquid metal danced once more, binding the panels tightly together, and then, as if the job was done, John took out a cigarette and asked.
Chick.
“after.”
White smoke rose, and everyone was mesmerized by the instant suppression scene.
The explanation was long, but it took less than two minutes to subdue.
It is the time it took for one of the best masters to overwhelm the battlefield to become disabled, completely subdued and wrapped.
‘I’m glad it ended easily.’
Savoring the taste of the tobacco he inhaled deeply, John thought.
The first shotgun to aim at the suddenly charging enemy is Feint.
The artifacts of the Great War era handed over from Armstrong’s warehouse were certainly great, but they did not exceed the peak master.
But that’s why it’s worth it.
A bullet that exceeded the general power was enough to mislead the opponent as a trump trick, and in fact, didn’t he try to take the subsequent gunfire head-on?
The adamantium-coated bullet did not disappoint John, and it was able to neutralize one peak master all too easily.
She tried to kill her breath at once, but the name Doyle came out of the girl’s mouth.
Now that it’s clear that he’s a player, it’s more important to steal information than to kill him.
That was the request John received, and that’s why John neutralized the girl with various suppression tools he had prepared in advance and even finished packaging.
I had to set aside six of the eight panels, but it’s well worth it.
If you hand over the girl to Zhao like this, the quest is complete, and you can now focus on completing the additional quests.
‘It worked out better than I thought. Securing information was a little vague.’
I took a deep breath and exhaled, thinking that the taste of the tobacco I burned after finishing work was amazing.
“Well?”
John, who had turned the filter to ash by rubbing it with his finger, tilted his head.
On one side of the mansion, the forest was burning, and everyone who was confronted with the scarred forest and the wall between them looked at John with dazed expressions, possibly due to the effects of the fierce battle.
Sensing the expression and gaze mixed with surprise, confusion, and wonder, John smiled.
Luna, who has abilities and is full of people who are beyond human common sense, but that’s why she can’t easily adapt to things that go beyond their common sense.
It was only after the five first-class masters made a pass that they overpowered the peak master who had barely been stopped.
It wasn’t that he didn’t suffer any damage or that he had to fight fiercely, literally in an instant.
It was a look that far deviated from the common sense of the existing Luna, and that is why everyone is in shock.
And these psychological gaps are John’s specialty.
bang!
“Keep!”
The revolver fired so naturally, it blew a hole through the chest of one of the wizards.
A wound that cannot be regenerated even by pouring nanomachines or potions from the Great War era.
bang!
“Huup!”
Perhaps the first gunshot alerted him, but the second bullet missed its target, but John wasn’t too disappointed.
T-D-DD-DDING.
The cartridge case fell to the floor and I finished reloading it casually with skillful hand movements.
clap.
The mouth of the fixer holding the revolver with the ball thrown back opened.
“Kill.”
It was a small, low voice, but there were no people who didn’t hear it, and the cyborg and servants reacted first.
“write!”
Heavy weapons fire with a loud cry.
Do-do-doo-doo-doo!
“I’m sorry about this. It must be difficult to complete the quest.”
Tyrone’s sword overflowed with aura and life welled up.
I changed my eyes and aimed my weapon as if I had finished calculating the three uninhabited islands.
Betrayal is not uncommon on this floor anyway.
In that case, sticking to the side with a higher odds is the shortcut to longevity.
“Khehehehe.”
A strange laugh flows from the wizard’s mouth and mana fluctuates.
Until just now, the focus was on crushing the enemy’s magic, but this time, a dangerous light flashed in the wizard’s eyes as he created the most destructive magic he could.
shoot it
The shaman opened her eyes wide, with only the whites of her eyes wide open, and stretched out her chest. At that moment, the forest began to shake dangerously.
“Repulse.”
“write!”
With Robin’s words, the powerful people stepped forward, solidifying their formation, and the faces of the enemies who went to the battlefield to invade the mansion were distorted.
Koo Goo Goo!
John watched with calm eyes as the electronic noise reverberated again and the shockwaves and flames roared.
***
“Good job!”
Armstrong, his face flushed with excitement, opened his large body wide and congratulated everyone.
Until the battle started, there was a shade on his face, but now there was no doubt, and his expression was shining.
And everyone understood what Armstrong looked like.
Incredible battles and overwhelming victories.
Of those who attacked the mansion, only three survived.
Even that was not a normal body, and if it had not been for John’s stop, he might have advanced to the Pavel family’s villa.
The situation was not over, but it was clear that the ridge had been crossed, and Armstrong’s gamble was on the verge of success, so no one could understand his feelings.
If nothing else, Armstrong would be able to step into the city council, which meant the birth of a new power in Luna.
A powerful man who is supported by the historic family of Armstrong, and the National Guard will fully cooperate.
At least no one knew what it meant.
Armstrong’s eyes fell as he looked at John, who was as if he had been promoted from the heir of an ambiguous family to the best card at once, and who had accomplished all of this.
“Good job everyone! Expect a bonus!”
Armstrong’s brazen rants brought smiles to most faces, but a few wore awkward faces.
But shamelessness is also a virtue of people living in Luna.
John glanced at Tyrone, who was struggling to control his expression, and opened his mouth.
“It’s not quite over yet. We will remain vigilant until there is an exact contact.”
“Let it be!”
In a way, it was a word that broke the colic, but no one, let alone Armstrong, stopped John.
At least inside the mansion, John’s authority had surpassed Armstrong’s, and even Armstrong himself did not think much of it.
“First, take a rest and maintenance. Do not neglect your vigilance.”
“write!”
The servants who had taken a bow in an immobile posture dispersed to their respective seats, and the talented took a comfortable seat and took a break.
Armstrong, who was in a good mood, offered a drink, but John shook his head and declined, leaning against a corner of the mansion.
“Is that it?”
“yes. I thought it was a pretty tough request, but I got lucky.”
Fioren, who sneaked up on him, made an admiring expression as he looked at the box floating behind John.
“Something interesting will happen.”
“It will be fun for the National Guard. Unfortunate for that kid.”
Answering Fioren’s words with an insidious smile, John looked at the forest where the sun began to set.
“Is this work over?”
Seeing Fioren stretching out his arms lightly to warm himself up, John smiled.
“Well?”
“······Well?”
John’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at the mansion stained by the aftermath of the battle, leaving Fioren’s questioning gaze behind.
