How to Play a Villainous Boss 171

Chapter 171 – This Is Mine Now. I Can Do Whatever I Want.(1)

What greeted me after getting off the airship after a long ten-hour journey was the tall buildings that I could not see even if I raised my head all the way. And…

“Stay still! If you move, I will shoot.”

“Throw away what’s in your hand and get down on the floor!”

Thirty futuristic soldiers pointed their guns menacingly at us.

“This… What’s it all about?”

“Give up obediently! If you follow our instructions, there will be no disadvantage later.”

After a long, long flight, I met twelve muzzles as soon as I barely got out. Even if this was a large-scale welcoming greeting for Metaverse City, it was hard to bear laughing. However, looking at their expressions without a finger on the trigger or a smile as if they were about to open fire at any moment, I don’t think it’s a funny hidden camera. But what did I do, all of a sudden, this shit? I just arrived in this city.

As soon as I first came to this Atipia, I didn’t do anything, but when I remembered the memory of being arrested by the Hounds or something and imprisoned on the lowest floor of Skyron’s cage, I felt dirty in an instant.

In my heart, I want to beat him up, but I just can’t. The restrictions on my actions have yet to be lifted, and if I don’t comply with their request here, I may be criticized for it. I’d rather follow their intentions now and take responsibility later…

“It was you who aimed your weapon first.”

Oh shit That’s right, I should have told that friend beforehand. But before I could stop him, he grabbed a gun from his waist.

“I would have told you to drop your weapon!!”

Cheek-chuck, Cheek-chuck. The triggers of half of the twelve guns moved from me to my companion. But my fearless companion had no intention of yielding to their reasonless oppression. He and his other unconstrained friends really hated anyone trying to entangle them. Even if it’s me

“I refuse.”

Bang!

Before I could stop, my companion pulled the trigger. And without even pulling the gun out of his waistband.

“What the hell is this guy doing…”

Fuck!

The soldier couldn’t spit out what he wanted to say to the end. A blind bullet flew from somewhere and pierced his left shoulder.

“Billion, billionth…?!”

“Hmm, it’s stronger than I thought.”

Injured by their comrades, the soldiers with guns turned their heads in the direction of the bullets. To find out who the thug who attacked the security that maintains the peace of this metaverse city. However, in the direction the bullets flew from, no suspicious person with a gun was to be found. That’s natural. The one who shot the gun was my companion.

Bang! Tattang! Bang! Bang!

My companion pulled the trigger again. Even with the muzzle pointed at the floor.

And four blind bullets that flew from somewhere penetrated the arms and legs of another security soldier.

“Hey, this is…”

“What, where the hell are you flying from!”

“That… That guy! I don’t know what he did, but that suspicious guy did it! Aim at that guy!!”

The captain, who grasped the situation in an instant, gave an order to the panicked security officers. Seven guns were again aimed at my companion, at the ‘blind sniper’.

“Ibosho, security enforcers. I will obey your investigation, so could you please lay down your weapon? Doesn’t that menacing weapon you aim at is getting on the nerves of my violent companion?”

“I should have told you to shut up and raise your hand!!”

Even if you give advice, fools who don’t understand. My companion and escort were not merciful enough to surrender meekly to those who did not even abide by the principle of presumption of innocence.

“Damn it, shoot!”

At the blind sniper who refused to drop his gun despite the threat, the head of the security unit raised his voice and gave the order to fire. The moment the security guards try to pull the trigger all at once.

“One foot, seven.”

Cheeky.

It takes less than a second for a blind sniper to pull out a firearm from his waist, connect the long barrel unique to a sniper rifle to a firearm that is originally short like a pistol, and aim the muzzle at the sky.

“It’s not difficult.”

Taaa—-!

The sniper pulled the trigger.

—–Ah!

And, a single bullet pierced seven people.

“Ouch…?!”

“Oh, crazy…!!”

The seven security guards weren’t lined up for a good shot, nor were they standing in the path of a gun fired by someone with nothing above his neck.

However, a single bullet flew through space and pierced the arms of the seven people almost simultaneously, causing the weapons in their hands to fall to the floor.

Perhaps they now realize by what means they have been defeated. A single gunshot flew around him and was heard from all directions.

Blind sniper’s bullets have the power to hit ‘things that can’t be hit’ instead of missing ‘things that must be hit’.

Except for the trajectory when the bullet was fired normally, everything implies the possibility of being hit by the bullet.

“Calm down, sniper. You may not like their attitude, but for the sake of me, will you withdraw your weapon now?”

“Hmm… If you say so, I can’t help it. Instead, I’ll get this light separately later.”

“Yes, of course.”

In their eyes, the sniper who pulled the trigger a few times and subdued them all unscathed would probably look like a monster. Then, what would I look like to calm that monster with just a few words? Monster trainer? Leading figure? Or the devil? Anything is good. In any case, since they know that my companion’s powers are not as unusual as his appearance, and that I am a fearsome being who can control him, they will try to talk to me first instead of aiming weapons first.

If they don’t have that much learning ability, the next sniper’s blinding bullet will really turn their heads like bursting watermelons.

I leisurely passed the magistrates moaning and bleeding from their pierced shoulders. Neatly ignoring the gaze they are looking at me like a madman.

‘This, this crazy monster…’

Akawiki couldn’t help but be astonished.

Having successfully reached Metaverse City through persuasion that repairs are needed, Akawiki, concluding that all they need to do is separate from the two, is to send a message to the security officers before the airship lands and return to their location. Brought Landfill’s teacher had not yet been freed from various restrictions, so he judged that he would obey the demands of the security right now, even if it was unfair treatment.

However, the sudden acceleration of that headless monster and the bloody collapse of a group of 15 security guards in the middle of the city were not in Akawiki’s calculations. The means he used to get out of this man’s side as quickly as possible had in fact stimulated the nature of the monster next to him.

I knew that it was one of the seven monsters that drove Eldland to near destruction, but I thought it was nothing special than I thought since it was the size of an average human male and only had one weapon. But not at all. The bullets shot by the headless monster flew from place to place as if warped here and there, incapacitating the security guards. Without taking too much force.

Just by pulling the trigger, a magic bullet that can incapacitate or kill at least one person unconditionally… Even if a monster like that ducks somewhere safe and keeps pulling the trigger with his finger, I don’t know where many people are flying from. You will be hit by blind bullets and take fatal damage.

Aka Wiki reworked the strategy in his head. If I tried to escape a little earlier by bringing in troops for no reason, that crazy monster would give me a reason to fire the magic gun again, so I decided to quickly guide it to a nearby android repair shop and change into a suitable body there. To avoid being seen by the monster and the teacher, the android sent another message, instructing the security to retreat.

After a while, the hard-faced security guards hurriedly left the place, apologizing that there was a misunderstanding due to someone’s misrepresentation and that they were sorry for the rudeness. They will grumble that they have been through a headache for no reason, but if you see the prescription for the rapid regeneration serum that will arrive by personal courier this afternoon as compensation for the work and the cost of your labor, you will be loyal to Akawiki again, so don’t worry.

“An Android repair shop… Oh, come to think of it, I couldn’t even eat properly because I was on an airship for 10 hours. Can you guide me to a nearby restaurant first?”

“…OK. Searching for restaurants nearby, exploring… Search complete. There is a decent sandwich shop nearby. Rated 4.8 out of 5. Welcome to the guide.”

“…You guys, did you just see that for sure?”

Adventurer Edric, who had been watching all the brief commotion at the airship dock in Metaverse City, asked his party members to gain his confidence.

“Yes, I saw it clearly.”

“Is that the monster that destroyed Eldland…”

The adventurers looked with fear at the being who had instantly subdued 15 security guards with just a few pulls of the trigger.

Each and every one of the security guards in charge of maintaining public order in Metaverse City received at least a B grade in the combat power test. And the security guards in Metaverse City could tell their power based on the color of the suits they were wearing, but the suits of the fallen security guards there were blue. A color that is in the middle of the three colors, higher than red but lower than purple. By the standards of Desperado’s adventurers, it’s safe to say that each and every one of them was a gold-level adventurer.

Furthermore, the function of the blue power suit is ‘linkage’. It was a powerful piece of equipment that additionally brought out up to 80% of the wearer’s body functions the more the same blue suit was around. But who would have imagined that all of them, so strong, would all fall down in just a few shots from a single monster?

Edric looked back at the monster that had neutralized the security guards.

A body so skinny that bones could be seen and a height of about 2m. That alone is enough to stand out, but the monster’s biggest feature was something else.

The monster had no head. To be precise, from the face to the mouth, the part above it had all disappeared. Like a broken egg.

Let alone eyes, I can’t find a single body organ similar to it, but there is not the slightest hesitation in the steps I take, and the bullets fired in the wrong place hit the enemy from an unexpected path.

“If this is the case, it must be difficult to carry out the instructions given by the guild master, right?”

Edric and his party members were in Metaverse City because of the guild master’s order. He watched Landfill’s teacher, Rag, and Armageddon’s group, and instructed Landfill’s teacher to buy favor for the adventurers of Desperado by showing up and helping him if he was in trouble… One of those monsters in the room put an end to the situation at once.

Against the security that even they dare to fight head-on, they can never win, with just a few shots.

“So… Kurin, what do you think?”

Edric, the leader of the party, asked the party members who had a connection with the landfill teacher or the monster among the party members in order to establish a policy of what to do next. And Kurin Tsunase, the ‘Spear of the God of the Sea’, expressed his will with utmost composure and firmness.

“If you fight, you will never win.”

“Is that enough? Of course, it’s surprising that he overpowered the security guards at once, but wouldn’t that be the biggest reason that they didn’t know about that monster’s abilities? Also, from what I’ve heard, Landfill’s teacher himself isn’t very strong. The android over there. Seems to be for home use with no combat function at all. Then, in fact, if we were to face each other, the number of people would be 3 to 5, but the actual strength would be 1 to 5…”

“Edric. To be clear, that’s… A level that we can’t do anything about.”

“Even if you use that power?”

Tsunase Kurin has a special power. A separate ability that is neither magic nor divine power. A power that people call ‘deliberate’. Kurin’s powers are to turn the surrounding landscape into the sea and temporarily increase all stats while at sea. Everyone in the party here didn’t know that even a moderate platinum adventurer couldn’t use their hands properly against Kurin fighting at sea. Seriously, the average combat power of the party leader, Edric, is higher, but while using that ability, Kurin Tsunase alone can lightly cook the other four.

However, that Kurin was already certain of defeat against an enemy he hadn’t even fought yet. It is also a person with the ability to create an environment that is very advantageous to himself.

“If I use Incarnation, my combat power will definitely increase significantly. However, I still can’t win. Because the person next to you… Has a higher rank than me.”

“A higher rank?”

“To give an easy example… It’s like I’ve been using the same power that turns the surroundings into an ocean for 24 hours without showing signs of exhaustion.”

“Crazy.”

The adventurers here couldn’t deny that Kurin’s [Nostalgic Sea] Was a very strong force. The reason why she accepted her as a member of her party was because she experienced her power firsthand. With the sea around her, if she stands in her vanguard and the rest of her party pours her support into her, she’s almost guaranteed victory unless her opponents are outnumbered. Because you could.

“Isn’t it one of the monsters that destroyed Eldland for nothing?”

Of course, it wasn’t just her gunslinger’s powerlessness that made her sure of her defeat.

Most of the owners of ‘Sympathy’ get it through Landfill’s teacher rather than awakening it on their own. Because it takes an incredibly strong will for the power of the mind to exert physical force in reality, but a person who has that level of will will already have enough force even if it is not ‘deliberation’, and to such people ‘deliberation’ is developed for the purpose of supplementing existing military power rather than pure power.

It is faster and more certain to awaken through the power of the teacher than to awaken Simui with such difficulty. However, this method has one fatal weakness that no one can avoid.

Landfill’s teacher helps to draw out the power of incarnation, but at the same time it can also reap that power. Most of the Sim’s powers come through the ‘passage’ created by Landfill’s teacher. Even if the teacher just blocks the passage, the sim’s ability goes back to the incompetent. Therefore, to those who deal with incarceration, Landfill’s teacher was a benefactor who gave them new strength and opportunities, and at the same time, he was a ruler who could never go against them.

And the teacher forbade mention of the fact to those who possessed Simui.

So that there is no one who refuses the deliberation for fear of being caught by the teacher.

Let most people want irresistible power, quicker and easier to obtain, and not requiring exorbitant costs. So that you don’t know that it’s about putting a leash around your neck.

Still, for Kurin, Landfill’s teacher was a benefactor who gave her the strength to survive on the verge of death, but at the same time she shared unwanted relationships and was a thorough-going person who could not disobey orders.

No matter what the teacher orders, she can never refuse. Because she doesn’t want to lose the power to bring her longed-for hometown back to her, she doesn’t want to end up as a petty gold-rated adventurer. So… No matter what orders he gives, I have no choice but to follow them. Even if he wants his body again.

Ignoring the memory of that day and the strangely burning sensation in his body, Kurin took a deep breath. This feeling of her own, recalled, was her evident fear.
