Chapter 75 – Weapons (3)
“Sister Seira. Go get some sleep.”
Starchis tells Seira, who is dying.
It was evening.
As she went on, she grew emaciated, and the dark circles under her eyes her grew thicker.
Unlike before, Seira had no time to reassure Starchis.
“…It’s never taken this long…”
She murmured.
The ade party still hasn’t returned.
Unlike the ‘Barefoot’ party, which usually takes two days to complete the request, the ‘Ade’ party is also gathering, but as the name suggests, it is specialized in structure.
If speed is the key to a rescue that takes two days, something has gone wrong.
“… Nuna, drink some water and come, then. Your lips are about to dry out.”
“…Why doesn’t he come like this… Ha… Stion… Where are you..”
“Sister!”
Starchis wakes Seira.
At first, she was the one who pretended to be strong, but she differed in important parts of her life.
Anyway, with her sitting and sorting out her papers
Starchis, the leader of the party, had a difference in courage that could not be overcome.
“..Uh? What did you say?”
She looks at Stachis with wide eyes.
“Go get some water. You have to be alert at times like this.”
Seira blinked her wet eyes.
I nodded her head slightly and headed for her kitchen.
As Seira left, Starchis also washed her face dry.
Wash away the ominous thoughts that keep floating around.
If it were her own brother, she would not die like his brother.
The term “King of survival” Is not for nothing.
So Russ will be fine too.
My brother is by my side
“…I’ll believe you, brother.”
Stachis murmurs.
****
“Back off!!”
When Stion shouted, the party moved back in perfect order.
At that moment, an inexpressible monster’s cry rang out.
A huge snake falls from the sky and shatters the space they were in.
The Aid Party had been fighting since last night without sleep.
The physical burden was enormous as the battle was filled with a full day.
The party “Hackseed” Who came to the rescue had been saved.
A few were seriously injured, but luckily no one died.
So now all we have to do is run away
Sky Imoogi, an A-class monster, did not allow that.
Right before the sky becomes a dragon,
It is a snake eager to fly.
Incredible destructive power using a huge body,
And in that it soars into the sky or burrows into the ground
It was a monster that was difficult to subdue.
From a monster that is hard to escape even with a bare body
It was close to impossible to escape with the hackseed party members.
That’s why Stion decided to subdue the monster.
…But things went wrong.
In the middle of the battle, another sky monster appeared.
Two guns.
They were facing an unprecedented danger.
One was subjugated somehow,
Perhaps it was a pair, but the remaining sky serpent started to run amok and the situation became difficult.
Fortunately, none of the Aid party members were injured.
The bandages and other medical tools brought by the party healer hadn’t been used yet.
The problem was stamina.
They were pushed to their limits because they couldn’t even get a good night’s sleep, eat, or drink water.
A huge wind of dust rises from the sky where the weapon fell.
In a situation where nothing could be seen, the leader of the party, Boyle, shouted and stood in front of the party members.
“Yayaaaaa!!”
Then, he slammed his huge shield into the ground and took a stand.
In an instant, a serpent appears from the dust and crashes into his shield.
The size difference between Boyle and the Imoogi was enormous.
“Keugh!!”
In shock, Boyle flew away rolling on the floor.
“Boyle!!”
Ade’s healer, Demir, ran towards him.
“Don’t leave the rest!”
When Stion shouts, everyone focuses again.
Being physically weak, it was so easy to lose focus in such a sudden situation.
“…This is not okay. Stion.”
Payne, the scout, approaches Stion and tells him.
“I know.”
Stion nodded his head.
He knew how absurd the situation was, but
I was just doing this because there was no other way.
For a while, the sky monster wriggled while being blocked by a huge shield, and turned its head towards the Aid party.
It was preparing to rush again.
“…This…”
Payne murmurs.
Now that Boyle was gone, it was a situation that could be called a crisis.
If the ade party was normal
Everyone knew how to avoid the oncoming monster, but
It wasn’t normal now.
At that moment, the heavenly weapon once again let out a grotesque scream.
It coiled up and rushed forward, dodging itself in an instant.
-Tatak!
At the same time, Russ appears and stands in front of the Ade party.
“Ha ha.. Ha.. Russ!!”
Fioren shouts.
It is the avant-garde’s job to protect the party.
I couldn’t say Russ’ choice was wrong, but
Stion bit his teeth hard.
He is a Starchis party member.
He made a promise to her brother that he would take her of her.
He is a person who should not be sacrificed recklessly.
In the past, I had taken the lead to nurture her experience her,
I had no intention of taking such a direct risk.
She was only trying to intimidate and intimidate.
‘Fuck.’
Before he can speak, Stion’s body moves first.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, and Stion’s tonfa and Russ’ shield joined forces to deflect the sky serpent’s charge.
-Bang!!
With a great roar, Russ lost her balance and fell.
Fortunately this time, everyone was unharmed.
Stion exclaims.
“Who said that!!”
“…Th, but if I don’t move…”
As Russ collapses, she looks back.
Farther back, Boyle and Demir, the healer, were now staggering out of their seats.
Stion felt sorry for himself when he should have been grateful.
I met two classes A monsters, but
He was powerless and had to enlist the help of his brother’s party members.
Words roll, in reality I was just trying to give Russ some experience,
Everything was going wrong.
“..Don’t sacrifice yourself. Because you have to come back alive.”
Stion says.
If I said thank you here, it was obvious that she would make the same choice again in this situation.
“Hiyap!!”
Fioren throws a spear at the distorted body of the Imoogi.
The spear tore through the Imoogi’s flesh, and was pulled back into Fioren’s hand by the string tied to the spear.
A wound that has already been inflicted dozens of times.
However, the Imoogi did not intend to stop.
The Imoogi twisted its coil again, and this time rose toward the sky.
Looking up at the sky, the monsters were already so high that they looked like dots.
“Stion, I really can’t anymore.”
“Don’t just say no, tell me your plan.”
Stion speaks to Payne.
“…There is an abandoned building nearby. There will be more chances to fight there than in an open place like this.”
“Harm!!”
A huge snake falls to the ground.
-Thud!
The blow was aimed at Stion, but he and Payne roll to her side to avoid it.
Another dusty wind blew up and obscured my vision.
“It’s in!”
This time the floor grows loudly.
He chose to hide on the ground rather than rush.
Let the dust blow away by the wind
A huge hole appeared in the ground.
Payne approaches Stion once more and explains her plan her.
“What are you going to do, Stion? Shall I guide you?”
“A nuclear seed. You can’t leave everything here. Then what if they don’t follow us?”
“I think the Sky Dimoogi I killed earlier was his partner his. They are angry with us, so they will come after us.”
“…Then what if you don’t follow me?”
“..Hackseed dies, we live.”
Payne says.
The decision was reserved solely for Stion.
Steon looked around.
It was devastated by a fierce battle.
There was nowhere to hide now.
If the Imoogi rushes in, it won’t be able to withstand it a few times now.
Party members pushed to their limits,
And her brother’s party member Russ stepped in her eyes.
“…Lead the way.”
Steon made a decision.
****
Like Pain’s suggestion, the Imoogi followed Aid.
Running was also hard work.
The moment the shadow was cast in the sky, you had to dodge to the side to prevent being crushed by the Imoogi.
And if the Imoogi ever penetrated the ground, he had to be careful with every step he took.
Instead of running in a straight line, I also ran sideways and changed directions, so it consumed much more stamina than normal running.
Fortunately, the abandoned building that arrived was subtly sturdy.
It was an antique stone building.
I wondered why such a building exists in a place like this,
It was not the time for them to cover hot and cold rice.
The party members went into the wide abandoned building and hid themselves.
As he hid himself, the heavenly weapon reacted more violently.
It was as if he was crying out for him to come out and fight.
Several times, the weapon of the sky hit the body and hit the building,
The building did not collapse, only the outer walls were gradually torn down.
This gave me a little time to reorganize.
Fioren and Boyle spread out and took a few minutes of sound sleep.
Russ and Payne, Demir and Stion drank water,
Aid’s last party member, Archer Xialien, made arrows by grinding branches he had brought while running.
.
.
.
-Thud!!
The building shakes and dust falls from the ceiling.
After a brief rearrangement, Ade started talking.
“Listen to me.”
Stion begins to devise a plan.
“That sky is the limit. I’ve been losing since yesterday and I can’t stand it any longer.”
-Thud!!
As if Stion’s words were a lie, he shook the building again.
“…Really. Trust me.”
“Trust me, Stion.”
Fioren says.
“Now I’m just surrendering to anger. There are only a few rooms left. If there is a clear opportunity, I might be able to finish it with one shot.”
“Oriental medicine?”
“I’m just going to slap my head with this.”
Stion holds up the tonfa and speaks.
“Just make a gap. I’ll do something.”
Russ wondered if this was a poor plan.
It is unsystematic and clunky.
But as if she did n’t know her concern her, everyone in the party nodded her head.
It seemed like this wasn’t the first time this had happened.
In the end, Russ had no choice but to comply.
.
.
.
.
.
The party members ran out to the opposite side of the outer wall of the building where the Imoogi was colliding.
Except for Stion and the archer Sialien.
Stion said she had something to do and asked her not to mind herself and just make a gap for her.
Sia Lien followed Stion, saying she would find a good spot for her to shoot her arrow her.
“Concentrate now!”
Payne, the scout, says.
As soon as I came out of the building, a shadow appeared on the floor.
She thought it was the shadow of a building at first, but Payne grabbed Russ by the arm of her and dragged her of her.
“Everyone avoid!!”
-Thud!!
All party members barely dodge the sky monster’s attack.
Russ said that if it hadn’t been for Payne, she might have been crushed.
The rest of the party members reacted quickly to the word to avoid because they were all A-rank, but
It was Russ’ first time working with her aid party her, and her experience her was inexperienced, so she was a bit slow to respond.
“Wake up!”
Payne shouted at the party members rolling on the floor.
He was already confronting the Imoogi in front of his eyes.
Her formation her was ruined.
The Imoogi looked at the scattered party members with its back to the building.
“Let’s keep it like this…!”
“What?”
Healer Demir is suspicious of Payne’s plans for her.
“Let’s keep it like this.”
Russ looked around her.
The original formation was destroyed, but it looked like the Imoogi was wrapped around and locked in a building.
It was a dangerous situation, but when I thought about it differently, an opportunity was an opportunity.
It’s an opportunity that came earlier than expected.
The thoughts and thoughts were brief.
The Imoogi didn’t give much time.
Before everyone could agree, Boyle reappeared and raised his shield.
“Aaaaa!!”
The Imoogi opened its mouth and attacked.
His shield His gets stuck in the Imoogi’s mouth.
Long canine teeth almost touch Boyle’s shoulder.
A power struggle between Boyle and the Imoogi breaks out.
While Boyle holds out, Fioren drives a spear into the sky monster’s jaw muscles.
“…Why is this not getting better!!”
Nonetheless, Boyle slowly began to be pushed back.
His massive shield made a strange noise and was about to bend.
“Chit!”
Fioren pulled her strings and pulled out the spear that had been driven into her chin.
She prepares to throw again.
At that time, the Imoogi’s red eyes turned and looked at Fioren.
The tail of the sky monster flew at Fioren, who was holding a posture.
“Uh..?”
-Bang!!
Russ appeared again.
Instead of Fioren, who can’t avoid his tail his because he’s holding his posture his, he blocks the impact of his tail.
Russ, who had to deal with her alone in shock, ended up flying into the wall instead of Fioren.
The wall Russ bumped into crumbled, and her figure disappeared into it.
.
“Russ!!!”
The sky did not stop.
She snorted excitedly and exhaled.
A scorching heat enveloped Boyle.
…Unusual heat.
“What?!”
Boyle is perplexed.
Red reflections began to flash in Boyle’s eyes.
Something red started to burn in the throat of the Sky Imoogi they were confronting.
“…Breath? It looks like it’s trying to become a dragon..?”
The moment Boyle was about to be pushed away, Stion’s voice came from above the Imoogi’s head.
“Catch it and see it!!”
Boyle, who had come back to his senses his, energized his body.
The Imoogi hesitated.
And at that moment, Stion jumped from the top of the building and rode on top of the sky god weapon while swinging his weapon.
-Pop!
The dull sound of something exploding echoes.
The Imoogi’s eyes turned upside down.
Red blood gushed out of his head.
The monster lost its strength and collapsed due to the attack that gave Stion’s weight and the speed of falling from the building.
Stion did not stop.
The fallen sky kicked the weapon’s head off again and again, turning it into porridge.
The fight ended through Stion.
.
.
.
-‘Russ!!’
Russ wakes up to the sound of her name her being called.
She had lost her mind for a moment.
‘The sky serpent?’
Russ tried to straighten her up, but a dull pain pressed through her body.
“Ugh..”
Russ lifted her head to check her body and surroundings her.
There appeared to be no major injuries to her body.
There were no broken or torn places.
A closer examination will take off her armor, but
At first it seemed fine.
I also saw her outer wall, through which she had penetrated.
Fortunately, she seemed to absorb her shock as she broke through the wall.
It was fortunate that it was a weak wall.
If the Imoogi was the robber of the outer wall that was not easily broken by bumping into it,
Russ said she crashed into a wall and that may have cost her life her.
“Here I am!!”
Russ shouts to reassure the Ade party members.
Judging by the sound, the fight seemed over.
No more thumping and earth-shaking sounds,
I couldn’t even hear the screams of the strange Sky Imoogi.
“…After…”
Fatigue came.
When she knew it was all over, her tension melted away and her head she became dizzy.
-‘Russ, are you okay?’
Fioren’s voice was heard from afar.
She was getting closer.
Russ eventually had to get her body her up.
Even if she rested, she thought about taking a break in front of the Aid party members.
She couldn’t have caused more concern.
Russ raises her upper body with difficulty.
After she lay down for a while, her pain seemed to subside.
Russ took another look at her room her.
A little dark room.
It was a beautiful room with many decorations.
It was the prettiest room she had ever seen in this building.
I wondered why the hell this building was here.
She looks back
“…Uh?”
A strange box was placed in the center of the room.
A faint light was leaking from inside the box.
“…What is this..?”
Russ led her heavy body toward Ham.
She began to wonder if she could touch her or whether she should call the aid party first.
Then, eventually, she was caught by Ham’s pull her and slowly took her hand her.
The box was cold.
As much as the room, no, there was more detailed processing than the room’s decorations.
With a little force, Ham opened her mouth on his own.
Russ took a step back, startedled.
The angle was off and I couldn’t see what was inside.
Instead, I saw soft cushions wrapped around the inside walls of the box.
It seemed to be trying to keep something safe inside.
“…”
Russ mustered up his courage and approached Ham again.
She slowly discovers a bottle of pink liquid.
Even the bottle itself was intricately crafted.
It smelled like something nice.
Russ sat down, her heart pounding.
“Uh?”
For some reason, I seemed to know what that solution was.
