Chapter 413 – #414 Alice, Awakening (2)
#414 Alice, Awakening (2)
Do-do-do-do-do-doo-!
“If you want to come, come, you bastards!”
Machine guns fired nonstop in the direction of the prisoners. The bullets that he thought he had brought were also starting to show the bottom because he had beaten his gun so much.
In the meantime, the number of prisoners I had killed were the wolf prisoner I killed at the beginning and the cat prisoner who attacked without knowing the fear of the machine gun.
Fortunately, there is no additional support from prisoners. It is because the children scattered in all directions did an excellent job of blocking the beastmen.
“Ugh…”
Sujeong hid behind me and was trembling. The tears welling up were still frightening.
‘Fuck!’
Every time he heard Soo-jung sniffle, he cursed at me inside. I promised you that I would protect you no matter what!
Thinking of Sujeong, who must have felt the fear of death, I felt so angry with myself that I was about to explode.
‘Am I going to use location exchange right now?’
I wanted to summon the main body with a real location exchange skill and wipe them out. But I couldn’t.
The location exchange skill has a cooldown. Once used, it cannot be used for a week. Currently, he was dealing with Zero in his doppelganger’s body, so he had to use his main body if he was to use the position exchange skill.
The problem is that both the main body and the doppelganger are in the land of monsters.
Currently in the Dark City, I only have a few alter egos. What if I use the location exchange skill and something happens in the Dark City? What if those who are hostile to me move? So what if you kidnap precious Rachel and Emily?
There is no way to deal with this at once. Emily was also an ordinary person without superpowers like Sujeong and Alice.
Misfortune always comes at the most unexpected timing. In order to prepare for such misfortune, I always had to have insurance, and that insurance was my position exchange skill.
So I was impatient, but I had no choice but to put up with the use of the skill.
“Master!”
At that time, someone from far away was calling me and running with a long red hair flying.
Among my women, the only psychic that was compatible with Raonjena was the Flame Witch. A dozen or so people were hurriedly following her. Burning the prisoners was not enough, so they rescued the survivors.
“Nice timing!”
The appearance of Flame Witch at the point where there were only a few bullets left was an oasis in the desert and the first rain of drought.
“The chews are hiding behind me!”
Like a child telling a story to his mother, I told Flame Witch the location of the beastmen. Then she ran and used her psychic powers in the direction I pointed.
“Take care of it!”
Fire-!
Flames shot up over her shoulders. The flames had an appearance reminiscent of the genie of the lamp. It was her level 10 skill, Fire Spirit King Ifrit.
Ifrit flew in the direction indicated by the flame position.
“Aaaaagh!”
After a while, a short shriek was heard from behind the wall. Ifrit had burned all the beasts.
“Kyakyakyakyakya!
I burst into laughter as I imagined the prisoners who would have been reduced to ashes. There is no way for young people who are not even executive level to survive the attack of our flame position.
But it wasn’t the time to laugh.
“Oops! Ellis!”
Recalling that Alice and little Henry entered the village hall to stop the intruders belatedly, I hurriedly entered the village hall.
And could see
Little Henry flying to the side with a frown on her face, Alice standing still, and the owl-beast piercing her arm like a sword at her.
“No! Alice!”
The condition of the Sanctuary Armor Elise was wearing did not look good to say the least. Like a broken hologram, the nanoparticles weren’t protecting Alice straight.
That’s how our Alice dies!
Shocked, I hurriedly aimed the machine gun at the owl-keeper.
And at that very moment, a very surprising thing happened.
Elise moved her body slightly to avoid the owl beast’s attack. Although there was a wound on her shoulder, it was embarrassing to even call it her wound.
What surprised me was what happened next.
Kwajik-!
Dozens of tree roots protruded through the floor. The roots of the tree moved swiftly like living creatures and accurately pierced the owl’s body.
“Ah…”
The moment I saw Alice’s back, I felt that she had changed somewhere.
Well, it wasn’t a change like being possessed by a second personality or an ancient soul. It meant something physically changed.
If the Elise of the past was soft, what should I say of the Elise of today… Should I say that she has become solid like a hardened warrior?
Moreover, the change did not end there.
“Roaring.”
Looking at Ellis, her stomach churned. She meant that Alice had acquired her psychic powers.
‘Psychic Analyst.’
I can’t stand this. He immediately used the Psychic Analyst on Ellis.
[This target is not [Human].]
[[Psychic Analyst] The psychic level is level 11.]
[The target that can check the psychic ability is expanded.]
[You can check the superpowers of other races except [Monster].]
“Huh?”
Before Alice’s status window appeared, a system message appeared. Alice is not human?
“No way?”
Something came to mind. Could it be that the species has changed to elves? Her parents were elves, so maybe she became an elf too?
Anyway, the system message disappeared and Alice’s status window appeared.
[Name: Elizabeth Gwen (female/20 years old)]
[Superpower: Guardian of Nature (Lv.5)]
[Psychic Tree]
Lv.1 [Voice of Nature]
Lv.2 [Guardian of the Forest]
Lv.3 [Tree Control (Active)]
Lv.4 [Guardian of the Sea]
Lv.5 [Sea Navigation (Active)]
“… Huh?”
I was taken aback when I checked Elise’s status window.
Why level 5? As far as I know, when you awaken your superpower, you start at level 1 unconditionally. But why is Elise’s psychic level 5? Besides, that psychic power called [Guardian of Nature], If I remember correctly, is definitely a special psychic power, not a normal psychic power.
It was a series of incomprehensible things.
“Brother.”
“Uh huh?”
I removed her status window at the voice calling me. Perhaps because she has superpowers as a healer, she didn’t notice her approach until Elise called me.
‘… No, that’s not all.’
No matter how much I possessed the psychic powers of a healer and was in a situation where I was looking at the status window, it didn’t make sense that I wouldn’t notice it until it was right in front of me.
If so, there is only one reason, it means that Alice’s movements were so stealthy that I did not notice her approach.
Our Alice… Suddenly became too unfamiliar…!
“I… Something’s strange.”
“What?”
“How to say… Someone keeps whispering that they will help me… I feel like my blood is boiling.”
“…”
I looked at Alice with surprised eyes. I could never have thought that words like blood boiling would come out of Alice’s mouth!
Elise’s pupils shook greatly, as if he was embarrassed by her sudden change.
“Somehow…Somehow I feel I can protect people.”
“Then would you like to try it?”
“Yes?”
Alice was greatly surprised by my suggestion.
Whatever the reason, Alice has awakened her psychic powers. She also awakened the elven blood within her.
The way she was able to quickly adapt to her own powers was, after all, a hands-on experience.
“You’re protecting the people here from the beasts. You said you thought you could do it? Then follow your heart. I’ll help you, so why don’t you try it? No, let’s do it.”
“…”
Alice blankly looked up at me. And she slowly nodded her head.
“Yes, I will. No, I will. I will watch over the villagers.”
“Yes. Nice my girl.”
As he stroked her hair, Ellis smiled at her happily.
*****
She came out with Alice.
When I arrived, I saw the Dark Lady, the succubus, and Gina. I (Mark Sam) had also rescued people and returned to the town hall.
“Kuuu! Kill them all!”
“We are hunters! Hunters cannot be hunted by prey!”
More than 10 prisoners were also seen. It seemed that all the beastmen who had attacked the village had gathered. They desperately rushed at us, risking wounds on their bodies, as if they were prepared for death.
Swoop-
“…”
Alice stepped in front of the beastmen.
“Ellis! What are you doing!”
“Come back soon!”
Gina and her flame position panicked and shouted at Elise’s sudden action. But Alice didn’t stop.
“Die!!!”
“…”
The wolf-man swung her arm at Ellis. She was in a desperate moment, but Ellis was calm. Alice opened her mouth.
“Did you say you would help me?”
“Huh? That’s right…”
At first, I thought she was talking to me. But no.
“Then help me.”
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
The moment Elise finished her words, the ground started shaking.
“Wow?!”
“Muh, what!”
At that, we, the villagers, and the beastmen were all taken aback. Ellis was the only one who wasn’t taken aback.
Aaaaang-!
Huge tree roots protruded through the ground, as in the town hall. Thick, long tree roots flew through the air like tentacles and pierced the bodies of the beastmen.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Quaaaaah!”
The beastmen could not avoid the tree roots attacking from all sides. Tree roots were deeply embedded in their bodies.
“Sa, save me!”
The beasts impaled by the roots of the trees were sucked into the ground. The fear of death hung over them, and they wept and stretched out their hands for help.
But no one held her hand.
Eventually, the beastmen disappeared into the ground along with the roots of the trees.
“Thank you.”
“…”
“…”
We stared blankly at Alice’s back as she thanked someone. The battle was easily ended in vain.
*****
“Quaaaaagh!”
Zero screamed. It wasn’t screaming in pain, it was screaming in anger.
“Fight against me! Fight against me, you monster!”
“Kkkkekkkek!”
He laughed at the angry Zero as much as he could. I wish he was more pissed off.
I continued to attack Zero using the memory hunter’s fighting style. It didn’t do much damage, but it didn’t matter. Because the joke was subtly, no, it was very fun.
In particular, every time Zero got angry like that, it felt like something clogged inside of him was going down. Damn good!
But what is clear is that Zero cannot be killed in the way of a memory hunter.
“Tsk. Anyway, I’m weak.”
The memory hunter’s combat style, which applied fabricated memory skills, unfortunately lacked firepower. Due to the emphasis on evasion, the power of one shot was reduced.
The memory hunter solved his lack of firepower with a weapon made by Sanctuary. But now I don’t have that kind of weapon. At best, it was all guns or grenades.
In the end, the finish had to be built in my own style.
“Kreureung-!”
Zero cried out loud. He used to stand on two legs, but he bent down and stood on all fours. Then his waist grew longer and his limbs grew shorter. Instead, he grew in size. It was a tiger as big as a tank.
“Black tiger… You’re so fucking unique. If we had met in a different situation, in a different relationship, I’d have accepted you as a subordinate. Black tigers are so fucking unique.”
Looking at such a zero, he said. It was sincere. The black tiger was overflowing with seasoning.
“But you cannot be my subordinate. You have caused terrible pain and memories to my friends and women.”
He threw away the gun he was holding.
‘Giant.’
I used the [Giantization] Skill, a skill I had only used once so far. My body swelled greatly.
“…!”
Seeing me double in size, the black tiger widened its eyes.
Let’s finish it now.
