Poop!
Surrounded by brilliance, a large hole was punched in the armor that seemed to block any attack.
“···uh?”
Everyone was dazed by the sudden situation, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
“… Huh?”
At that time, Croc moved his gaze to his open chest with a blank expression.
puck! puck!
The left knee and right shoulder were smashed, and the body was disfigured.
“···ah?”
Uh!
The halo burned like the sun, and the alien god breathed in immense power to save his paladin.
Kwajik!
Another blow landed between Croc’s forehead, and at that moment, Croc’s face flew away leaving only the mandible.
Only then, no matter how great the god who lends his strength is, there is no way to use his hands.
Because the heart and brain were blown away at the same time.
thud!
The weight of the armor and equipment was so heavy that Croc’s corpse fell to the ground with a loud sound, and the weight became heavier than anything else in the world and burrowed into everyone’s hearts.
A sudden murder.
Paladin’s sudden death, which was not a common person and seemed to overwhelm the battlefield, was enough to freeze everyone in the hall.
“Heeheee!”
At that moment, an indescribable scream erupted from the soldier’s mouth.
The warrior right behind Croc, covered in blood and brains, screamed in complete panic.
It was an ugly look to be called a peak master, but no one in the hall could reprimand him.
Even if he was there right now, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to maintain a resolute appearance.
The soldier who fell into complete panic rolled his body like crazy, and that action saved him.
puck!
“Haaagh!”
With a loud sound, the ground where the unmanned man was was dug, and if it was slightly displaced, it meant that he would end up like Croc.
“Hiagh!”
supportive position.
With a terrified scream, the man crashed into the ground and disappeared beyond the forest, followed by the sound of breaking trees.
It was dismissed as half-baked, but it is a sticking point.
There was no way such a master would not be able to avoid the trees when crossing the forest, but he, terrified, went through the forest in a straight line.
A master who ran away in terror of the sudden murder.
It was clear that the enemy was aiming for the unknown attack, so it must have been an allied attack, but none of those present moved recklessly.
Everyone’s heart was filled with fear that if they moved even slightly, a bullet would come flying and take their lives.
At the level of the talented people gathered here, they could somehow cope with sniping, and even in the rain of barrage, they could counterattack the enemy, but even so, they couldn’t move.
A first-class sniper with no sense of murderous intent.

My heart, which had lightly looked at the gun, disappeared into the distance.
That time when everyone was hardened with pale, tired faces.
“Tsk.”
John walked out from beyond the mansion with a light clicking sound.
Chick.
He slung a large anti-material sniper rifle over his shoulder, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and it ignited itself.
“Whoa.”
Everyone’s heads moved slowly like a doll and turned to John, and John muttered while blowing long smoke with a calm expression.
“You’re a lucky guy.”
“That’s right. I never thought the timing would be right like that.”
Fioren, who followed, responded with a dejected expression, and it was only then that it seemed that people’s time had returned.
John’s appearance was pitiful.
Even in the fierce battle, the well-groomed trench coat had turned into a rag, and the neatly fitting suit was also nowhere to be found.
The faint smell of iron wafting from his clothes, which had turned red beyond recognition, indicated that he had suffered a serious level of bleeding.
The body visible through the clothes seemed to have healed as if it had been treated with first aid, but it was so bright that it looked as if the skin would crack and bleed at any moment.
Her face was white and pale, and her neat hair was messed up here and there, so it never looked normal.
If you look closely, your body and limbs are trembling slightly, so it doesn’t seem difficult to defeat John in his current state even if you’re not a skilled person.
but nonetheless.
No one here could make direct eye contact with John.
All of them were full of fear for John, who had so easily dealt with the enemy they had to deal with.
“Now you are dead.”
“Paladins have a deep connection with the gods. It seems like he wanted to save his life somehow.”
Following John’s and Fioren’s gaze, they all turned their heads and saw Croc’s corpse disappearing into light.
The time when some faces were questioned by an unusual form of death and some faces were about to harden.
“Is the death of a paladin like that?”
“Well. There are so many variables with a shaman.”
It was only then that people made faces of understanding at John and Fioren’s question and answer.
It was a blindfolded expression, but in any case, the player’s existence was Luna’s secret.
In any case, minimal action is required.
“…it was hard. zone.”
In a moment of silence, Tyrone approached John.
He looked very nervous to say that he was a comrade who shared the same battlefield, but no one could understand Tyrone’s attitude, and John didn’t care either.
Because it was John himself who led all this atmosphere.
Imprint yourself at the best timing to seize the initiative and instill fear and awe.
All those gathered in this place are solvers and mercenaries who are evaluated as having good skills in Luna.
Rumors about John, who made a strong impression on them, will spread, and the flesh attached to them every time they pass through their mouth will become a snowball at some point, and will strongly imprint John’s existence.
‘Then it will be easy.’
As for John on Earth, his existence itself was a top secret, but in Luna, fame is power.
It was clear that the notoriety and bubble that accumulated like that would exert its power at the decisive moment.
“You guys did a good job too. It wouldn’t have been easy, but I worked hard.”
“It’s nothing compared to you guys.”
John was satisfied with Tyrone’s unknowingly aware of the hierarchy and the attitude of the people who did not dispute it.
“Did I miss it anyway? That’s a bit unfortunate.”
John laughed at Fioren’s words.
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
“Well?”
At that time when the question came to everyone’s eyes.
Quadruped!
“Quaaagh!”
With a scream full of pain, something flew quickly from the other side of the forest, and landed exactly where the paladin’s corpse had disappeared.
bang!
Dust rose with the explosion, but none of those present felt uncomfortable with it, and the faces of everyone who checked the dropped object hardened terribly.
“…turn it off.”
A soldier who panicked and fled into the forest.
The soldier was convulsing on the floor with his eyes closed and frothy, and his limbs were horribly contorted to the point where it seemed impossible to revive.
And.
People rose from all over the forest.
All of them were heavily armed soldiers wearing camouflage clothes, but Tyrone could bet that the energy felt from them was absolutely not that of ordinary soldiers.
“You said you were in a hurry, but it seems a little late.”
A large body appeared through the forest with a voice that was not too heavy.
“Suck!”
“Big!”
Overwhelming force and indescribable huge presence.
Despair, which seemed impossible to overcome no matter what they did, filled everyone’s hearts, and their bodies atrophied on their own.
In that space, where even Fioren, who is finding most of his strength, is nervous.
“It is not so. You have come at the right time.”
Only John stepped forward with a calm expression.
“Colonel Straydom.”
“… it seems like you got the job done right.”
The Choin of the Defense Force met his gaze and smiled.
***
It was built as a mansion for the highest-ranking class, and was strong enough to serve as a bunker in case of emergency, drawing admiration from everyone who visited it.
Since such a mansion had become close to ruin in just one day, perhaps this appearance represents the rise and fall of humankind?
That’s what Armstrong thought, crouching in a corner of the ruined site.
The pitch-black skin was gradually sinking and returning to its original form, and the hugely swollen body shrank.
The firm and elastic muscles lost their luster, and the bright face was so dry that the cheekbones stood out, making it impossible to think of them as the same person.
Only his two eyes were shining brightly, proving that he was alive, and Strydom couldn’t help but sigh at that sight.
“Like a foolish friend.”
“Are you here?”
Two eyes full of venom glanced at the men in front of them.
Straydom, who has a magnificent build, but has a sad expression on his face, and Zao, who stands behind him in an immobilized posture, and.
“It doesn’t disappoint either.”
Armstrong smiled softly as he looked at the fixer, who had a messy appearance but the same expression as when he first saw him.
“You saved me.”
“Because there is something I need to hear.”
At John’s words, Zhao’s eyes turned to Robin, who was lying in a corner.
The talented people who had been with Robin were all crushed to death as if they had been hit by a shell, but only Robin was breathing thinly, which meant that Armstrong had a special hand.
“Tsk. Sleep.”
“write!”
At Straydom’s words, Zhao approached Robin and inserted the syringe.
“Kreuk!”
Every bone in his body looked like it was shattered, but Zhao, seeing Robin’s excitement as if the ampoule had awakened him, put him on his shoulder and quickly left.
He tried to live, but Robin was on the verge of dying, and in this case, time could tell the difference between life and death.
“Who is the player?”
“Killed. It turned into light.”
“···Right.”
The nanomachines blended exclusively for Armstrong demonstrated incomprehensible power.
Although it is not perfect, it was impossible to block Armstrong’s front because he received the attack of Kang Ki with his bare body, and the power he instantly raised was comparable to that of a superman.
but.
“The aura has gone quite a bit. My physical condition is also messed up.”
“Keukkeuk. I can’t help it. Isn’t it natural that a half-punisher who has not even reached a superman has to pay the price to imitate a superman?”
During its duration, the nanomachines burned Armstrong’s aura non-stop, inflicting serious strain on his entire body.
Currently, Armstrong is weakened enough to defeat even an ordinary person who is not a skilled person.
If given time, you can find the original shape, but that time and effort will be quite long and not easy.
At least it was Armstrong, who had learned Iron Heart deeply, so it was over at this level.
“…the project will have to be scrapped. The cost is too great and too personal.”
“That’s it.”
Armstrong’s nanomachines have been paying attention to high-ranking members of the National Guard, but it is impossible to spread them at this rate.
Each one is an elite manpower, but just using it will almost certainly lead to death, and it’s worse than not using it.
Chick.
“Whoa.”
With trembling hands, he pulled out a cigar from his bosom, and Armstrong met Strydham’s eyes.
There was power in the eyes of the person who had possessed the power of a superhuman, even for a moment, and Strydom did not avoid his gaze.
“therefore.”
Armstrong’s eyes filled with poison.
“What are the National Guard going to do with me?”
