As a painful scream erupted from his mouth, I quickly pulled out the pistol I had hidden in my arms.
It was my first time using a pistol as the only gun I had ever held in the military was an M16, but at least I remembered that I had to set the sight and scale to shoot.
When the trigger is pulled, a roaring gunshot is heard several more times with recoil.
Lydia, who was sitting next to her, had a startled expression on her face, and the leader of the watering team grabbed her blown wrist and screamed and collapsed as if she had fallen over.
There were a few more bullets left, but after changing the magazine again, he aimed at him and approached.
“Lydia.”
“okay.”
At my words, she nodded and kicked the pistol that the leader of the watering team was holding in the distance.
It was almost smashed, but it was unpredictable.
Then she glanced at me still aiming at him, and then kicked him upside down and overturned him.
“Knock… … .”
Then his right arm flew off, and he was spewing blood foam from his mouth, with several more gunshot wounds to the body.
I felt pure admiration that he was somehow holding onto his mind.
If it were me, I would never have done that.
“Twitch, I shot it like that, but I only got two hits.”
He murmured, pointed them at his intact limbs, and pulled the trigger once each.
He fluttered like a fish on a chopping board and let out an incomprehensible scream.
“Do you have any information that we can save you from or something you want to vomit?”
“Kah, uh… … .”
Then he opened his mouth as if to say something.
I immediately pulled the trigger towards the man’s open mouth.
Along with the popping sound, the guy trembled, and then it was cold and droopy.
“Looks like there wasn’t.”
I thought it would explode if I shot it in the head, but it wasn’t like that.
As I glanced at him as if gazing at him, Lydia muttered as if it were nonsense.
“I hope you can kill this man so easily like this… … .”
“Have you already forgotten that you and I used our abilities and almost became a beehive?”
“… … .”
Lydia shut her mouth as if she had nothing to say.
I looked at her like that, and then pulled the trigger on his lying corpse again one after another.
“Hey! Whoa, what are you doing?!”
“Confirmation kill. The people I’ve met up until this point called the slaughter team must have been like monsters.”
I pulled the trigger against his body until I finally ran out of one magazine.
There was no guilt or respect for the dead.
If I had, Lydia and I would have been worse off than this.
“Okay, let’s call Esmeralda now. You don’t have to go according to the next plan.”
“Oh, wait. I’m still on the phone… … .”
Lydia answered the phone right away.
Then, an urgent voice came from the phone.
– leader! Get out of there right now… !!!
drop.
The phone suddenly went off while an urgent voice was being heard.
Then we could both sense that something was wrong.
Then, a cheerful mechanical sound was heard.
It was a sound coming from the arms of a man who had now become a corpse.
“… … .”
I rummaged through his body and pulled out a cell phone that was beeping.
Caller ID Restrictions.
But it dropped and hung up before I even made the call.
And then a text message arrived with a beeping sound.
When I checked the text, Lydia was right next to me, checked it with me, and covered her mouth.
[nice to see you. Lydia.]
[The person you wanted to kill so much.]
[no.]
[Rather than a person, the term seven evil species would be more appropriate.]
[The Seven Evil Bells you wanted to kill so much.]
[Thank you ^^]
“Uh, someone was watching us! From the beginning, it was in the palm of his hand!”
Lydia looked around in panic and shouted.
Suddenly, she came with a broken pistol that she had kicked and was pointing around.
I didn’t.
It was because he was well aware of the abilities of this man, the boss of the Red Case and the Seven Evils.
And I instinctively felt that this was a good opportunity.
Due to the nature of the ability of the gnome, there is no meaning at all whether there are many or few people.
Now, if he tried to kill us with his own hands, it was like saying that we would not have to care about his SS at all.
And at the time he was directly communicating with us, it was said that his abilities had already been unfolded.
Even in a sudden situation, without panicking, I threw away the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one.
[And you.]
[gentile.]
[I have something to say to you.]
[Previously.]
The text that arrived again had words that couldn’t be skipped over.
gentile.
Maybe that’s what I’m thinking?
I was thinking like that.
[Main quest ‘The Battle of Three Waves’ [2]’ is completed by satisfying certain conditions!]
[The main quest ‘Sampa Battle [3]’ begins!]
[The quest ‘The First Evil’ is forcibly started.]
[One of the Seven Evil species has recognized your existence, ‘alien’, ‘existence that changes the flow of the world’]
[I wish you survival.]
“… … .”
Now that I’m here, it didn’t matter what the three-part battle was.
I checked the quest that appeared at the end.
The content of the quest was not so simple.
― Survive the Seven Evils ‘Margo’.
It was really, really simple and so simple.
There was no reward or penalty for failure, only the contents were written.
“okay.”
Now the time had come
As he murmured and looked ahead, the world was distorted.
Instead of feeling scared, he felt a sense of excitement at the sight.
seven kinds of evil.
It was a coincidence and it was sudden, but in the end, we have finally arrived at one.
Now I had to repeat this six times.
“Oh My God… … .”
Lydia looked around blankly as if she had almost given up.
It was a surprising sight even for me who knew the circumstances, but I wondered how surprising it would be if she didn’t know anything.
Turning the building you were in into a dungeon was something that the average person would never experience.
And I was well aware that this was one of Margot’s unique abilities.
He was a seven-evil kind with an unusual concept with almost no direct combat ability.
So, in this way, he made the battlefield itself to his advantage and induced the enemies to collapse on their own.
I said as I touched Lydia’s shoulder, who was still unconscious.
“Soon, you and I will be separated from each other. I’m getting my mind right.”
“What? what is that… … .”
“and.”
I put the safety device on the loaded gun and put it in my arms.
Fortunately, he had all his equipment with him, just in case.
“Don’t be surprised by what you see inside, and especially if you hear something, don’t fall for it.”
No matter what happens with them, we will never be able to cooperate.
She shook her head as if she did not understand my assertion.
“What the hell are you talking about… … .”
“look.”
At my words, she also looked around and took a step closer to me in horror.
Suddenly, the distortion came right next to us.
“Never forget what I said. You won’t understand it if you listen to it anyway.”
“So what does that mean… !”
For a moment, instead of her words, a loud tinnitus was heard.
When I woke up, I was standing alone in a wide open space.
No, I wasn’t alone.
The one facing me in front of me is… … .
* * *
“Can’t you go a little faster?! Step on it a little harder!”
“If you see me being blocked, what should I do? Who knows who doesn’t want to go fast!”
There were four people in the car driving down the road.
The person holding the steering wheel was none other than Esmeralda Listenerger, and Han Soo-young, who was sitting right behind her, was brushing her off.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul, who sat in the passenger seat, was silently staring at her cell phone, and Choi Hyeon-woo, who sat behind her, looked as if she had fallen into meditation with her eyes closed.
Breaking news was playing on the radio inside the car.
― This is breaking news. It’s hard to believe that ACGO’s headquarters building in Yeouido has suddenly turned into a dungeon. Currently, no survivors have been identified, and nearby guilds and associations are urgently dispatching personnel to determine the cause and rescue the survivors… … .
There were quite a few complexities involved in how they moved together.
Her identity is revealed by Han Soo-young, who immediately notices that Esmeralda, who has turned into Yoo Ji-hyeok, is strange. it had been hit
Han Su-young and Jin Ye-seul, who heard about the situation, agreed on the spot that they should extract the information even by stalking Esmeralda, but they were stopped by Choi Hyun-woo, who was still rational.
And by some chance, they formed a temporary partnership to rescue Yoo Ji-hyeok and Lydia.
“Hey, sir… !”
Esmeralda took turns swearing in Korean, English, and her mother tongue before pulling out of the car.
In front, the road was controlled by soldiers and police, hunters and heroes.
“I can’t go by car from here.”
“Step on it. just.”
Han Soo-young muttered like that and held out her hand out the window.
“Isn’t it okay to blow away all the things that block the way?”
Esmeralda puts back gear instead of answering.
Immediately, she drove towards the barricade, and at the same time, a large flame appeared from Han Soo-young’s hand, and then the obstacle blocking their path was blown away.
“What, that!”
“Stop it!”
With those words, something started flying.
Then, Hyeon-woo Choi, who had his face covered, climbed up the car through the window as if he was shooting a movie, and then raised his sword one by one, such as flying magic and projectiles, and smashed them away.
“The following cars will come after a while.”
Jin Ye-seul, who was constantly checking her cell phone and checking something, said as if tossing it.
“I was trying to save as little as possible… … .”
Esmeralda muttered that word, then closed her eyes slightly and then opened it.
Then, to their surprise, the car they were riding in multiplied as if they were splitting up.
Without stopping, Esmeralda drove her car and headed off the road abruptly.
Then he changed his car into a police car and started following the cloned cars as if chasing them.
After a while, a huge number of cars appeared and started chasing the cloned vehicles just like them.
Esmeralda said without embarrassment.
“I’ll go back a little bit, but I’ll follow you like this.”
Esmeralda skillfully drove the car in that way to the place they had been aiming for.
I couldn’t get into the car on the way, so I had to get off.
“Wait a moment. Everyone come here.”
Esmeralda said so and lightly touched the bodies of the other three.
And suddenly, he himself changed into a soldier and said as if to be careful.
“It’s just the outer skin, so if you make a mistake, you’ll be exposed immediately, so don’t move too violently.”
With those words, Esmeralda skillfully led the party.
In front of them was a huge tower and something that had turned into a dungeon.
“… Jihyuk is trapped there?”
Han Soo-young muttered in a low voice at Choi Hyun-woo’s words, which seemed to be ridiculous.
“Goodbye, it’s confirmed. This.”
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul didn’t say anything, but seemed to agree with Han Soo-young’s words in a cold atmosphere.
It was because Jin Ye-seul, as a woman, never expected that it would be such a big deal.
Even more so, Jin Ye-seul hardened her expression at the fact that she didn’t say a word to her despite such a huge incident.
“Here it is.”
“Well.”
Esmeralda was saluted with skill at the person who saluted as if she had been waiting.
And they naturally turned more inward.
“What is the situation?”
“Give me your hand, I’ll sync.”
Esmeralda, who had been waiting first, reached out and they soon became one.
After a while, Esmeralda, who had come with Yoo Ji-hyeok and Lydia, stood in front of the huge building and looked at them and said:
“I’m sorry to come all the way here and say this, but I can’t find a way in.”
“What?”
“It sounds like you are completely cut off from the outside world.”
Esmeralda murmured as if she was also frustrated.
“I think we need a special method… … No matter how close I get, I can feel it’s just a wall, and no matter how much I search, I can’t find a single passageway to enter.”
“What if I break the wall?”
“That doesn’t work, so all the heroes and hunters around here are just sucking their fingers.”
Meanwhile, Jin Ye-seul pulled something out of her arms.
It was a part of a pendant that failed to be duplicated at the request of Yoo Ji-hyuk.
It was shining now.
“What is that?”
“I don’t even know what it is.”
Jin Ye-seul muttered blankly.
“But, maybe this… … .”
Jin Ye-seul, who muttered like that, reached out and touched the wall.
Then, to his surprise, part of the wall opened by itself and opened the passage as if to enter.
“This… !”
While Esmeralda was surprised, Jin Ye-seul went inside without hesitation.
And Han Soo-young and Choi Hyeon-woo followed her immediately, almost flying.
“Oh, wait!”
Esmeralda said so and tried to get in too, but the hole in the wall quickly filled up and she couldn’t do as she wanted.
But in that brief moment, Esmeralda, who could see through the wall, stood blankly as if she had received a huge shock and muttered.
“What was… ? Just, it was… … .”
certainly… … .
* * *
At some point, Han Soo-young could realize that she had been separated from the party and was left alone.
I’ve heard that there are dungeons or towers equipped with this kind of magical device, but this was the first time I actually experienced it.
And in front of Han Soo-young, who had become alone, he stood there as if someone was waiting.
Instead of looking around and looking for the party, she stretched out her hand as if threatening to the person who was draped in front and staring at him.
“Who are you?”
“… … .”
“Take it off. And show me your face.”
At those words, the opponent gently took off the bulkhead that was covering his body.
Then, the image of the opponent gradually began to appear, and Han Soo-young’s eyes, seeing it, began to widen as if they could not believe it.
Slightly reddish hair.
In contrast, dark black pupils.
However, the suffocating level of living that has fallen so much that it cannot be hidden.
I always looked through the mirror, but I felt a sense of incongruity.
“… me?”
She was none other than Han Soo-young, who was herself.
As if time had passed and he had grown up as an adult, he was staring at me with a gaze full of vigilance and anger.
“… what are you Can I be a doppelganger?”
Upset.
With those words, flames immediately exploded from the other Han Soo-young’s hands.
