Chapter 28 Human Hunting (3)

“Uh, um… … what to do?”

The sniper, who was looking back and forth between the direction he was supposed to go and the direction where the explosion had just occurred, murmured softly, as if embarrassed.

At that time, I was already kicking the roof of the building I was standing on.

Because the target we were supposed to aim for moved.

Judging from the movement of the moving target on the map, it seemed that they were going to the place where the explosion occurred.

As long as the existing plan went wrong, we had to react quickly.

‘Most of the cops involved in the evacuation don’t know about the game.’

In such a situation, what if you put a barrier on the warehouse where the fire broke out?

There is a high possibility that many people will witness the anomaly where the flames suddenly disappear.

‘Give up the barrier.’

If so, it’s best to ambush and finish it quickly without giving the 4 targets time to counterattack.

As soon as I could see the black shadow speeding across the cement road, my figure was completely buried in the darkness.

‘Invisibility.’

In the state where magic was hidden inside the core, it was used even to become invisible.

It was impossible to find me with the naked eye because the symbol doesn’t appear on Earth.

Furthermore, my body belongs to a gold player.

It wasn’t that difficult to kill his presence and move while hiding his mana.

To find me in this state, my senses had to be developed to the level of a gold plate, or my magical power detection level had to be 5 or higher.

And the guy I’m aiming for now wasn’t at that level.

It’s obvious that I barely looked back before Kerax’s spear touched my back.

hook-!

With a monotonous sound, the player whose heart was pierced with a single blow died.

“You have succeeded in eliminating the target.”

“Magic energy is absorbed. Some of the contaminated magic is mixed in.”

Glancing at the map, the remaining two were also gathering toward the explosion site.

They were at 4 o’clock and 7 o’clock, respectively.

“At 4 o’clock, don’t drag, finish in one blow.”

The voice wasn’t very loud, but it was enough for Eunpae to hear.

The two signs that had quickly caught up behind me disappeared in the 4 o’clock direction.

The sniper had taken her to Lily.

I checked the movement of the two and ran to the 7 o’clock direction.

Soon after, a faint earthy smell began to waft.

Another player could be spotted running in the direction of the explosion.

Immediately after, I stepped on the cement road hard enough to crack it.

Kwajijik.

Then, he threw the javelin with all his might, to the point where the muscles in his arms, shoulders, and back were overloaded.

This took into account the fact that the opponent might be able to use a shield.

Sweetheart-!

Thanks to this, a piercing sound that seemed to tear the ears rang out.

The moment it hit the ground following a single spear that was fired at a speed that even a shadow could not follow with the naked eye of an ordinary person.

“What… … !”

A player running from the opposite side used a shield.

It couldn’t have been a really quick response.

However, it was a little lacking in dealing with me.

Kwadeuk-!

With the mana he expended to create the shield, the gold plate couldn’t block the javelin with all its might.

No matter how terrifying the power was, a short spear that penetrated the shield could blow the player’s head off.

‘If I had thrown it like usual, it would have been blocked.’

If so, it would have been a battle rather than a raid.

It was a moment when I felt the reward of throwing it hard even if it was a little overworked.

‘There are two left.’

The sniper and Lily have gone to take care of one of them, so the only one left is the one on the blast site.

Quaang-!

Just then, an additional roar rang out, and the flames shooting skyward intensified.

I turned around before the power absorption was over.

By the time I was almost at the blast site, the approaching target at 4 o’clock had also disappeared.

The sniper and Lily succeeded in raiding.

‘Now one.’

In the interim between raiding other targets, the flames where the explosion had taken place grew stronger.

Not one building, but an entire block was engulfed in flames.

I gasped inwardly and leaped toward the two players who were slamming into each other on the roof of a nearby building.

one male and one female.

The two men were tangled up exchanging swords, so it was impossible to tell who was the target.

So I pushed a window between the two of them.

“what?!”

“who… … !”

Two unknown players reacted simultaneously.

But that didn’t mean they immediately counterattacked.

Because I was still invisible.

Both of them just swung their swords in the direction I was likely to be.

Of course, the accuracy was bound to drop, and thanks to that, I could easily kick the two in different directions.

“What kind of guy… … Kuck!”

“Cuck!”

As a result.

‘It’s the man’s side.’

The target the system pointed out through the map was a man who ricocheted to the left.

‘A little while ago, I was the only one who was on fire.’

It means that both of them are flames.

Scared to finish my judgment, I took out a javelin and threw it.

visor-!

I heard the sound of blades clashing, but before I knew it, the guy stood on the floor and struck a dagger with his sword.

So I didn’t see that there was a dagger that I slipped aside after I threw the javelin.

As a result, he couldn’t avoid the dagger that suddenly jumped out in front of his eyes.

“Whoah!”

No matter how awakened a player is, some vital points, including the eyes, are still weak.

Thanks to that, I was able to pierce his eyes through object shift magic.

I took advantage of that gap and tried the javelin once more.

The javelin, thrown harder than before, pierced the cement floor and was deeply embedded.

A beat later, a popping sound came.

It was the sound of a target collapsing with a hole in the middle of its chest.

That doesn’t mean he died right away.

“Keep, big!”

Up and down.

The target squirmed blood and wriggled for several seconds.

It looked like a struggle to escape death somehow.

It was a pointless rebellion, of course.

“You have succeeded in eliminating the target.”

“Magic energy is absorbed. Some of the contaminated magic is mixed in.”

After the message popped up, the target no longer moved and limp.

It took only 5 minutes to eliminate all 4 targets in San Diego.

It is also thanks to the gathering of scattered guys in one place.

It was also easy to attack because I was distracted by other places.

Thanks to the empty streets, there was nothing else to worry about.

Thanks to that, the situation ended quickly.

Standing alone on the roof of a building, I looked around.

Red flames and black smoke, as well as shattered glass and shattered building exteriors, filled my vision.

The sound of distant sirens seemed to add to the drama of the horrors.

‘There is no sea of fire.’

I wonder if it would be like this if I reduced the abigyuhwan that I will see in the future.

I stared at the burning street with a complicated feeling.

‘About 9 months after the game started… … ‘

It was the time when the number of players who became silver players and posted reviews of the second awakening began to increase.

‘Honestly, the silver shield isn’t that high level in this game.’

However, even that silver shield, which was not very high, was enough to reduce a block in the city center to ashes.

‘It’s just the two of us.’

Realizing that fact makes me think what if.

I wondered if the place I was standing now would have been different if it had been a facility that maintained a bloody level of security.

‘No way.’

The answer came so easily that a wrinkle formed between his brows.

‘I know that players are needed to prepare for an unexpected war.’

Humanity’s firearms are too powerless in front of higher evolutionary species.

Right now, even firearms can be covered to some extent with a level 2 magic shield.

On the other hand, I have a body strong enough to break through that barrier.

The difference alone proved the player’s need.

However, it was bittersweet when I was able to draw more clearly the worst horrors that could happen by nurturing players like that.

Maybe humanity will perish because of the players who have been trained for war.

‘Then it’s really the worst tragedy.’

I laughed bitterly and let go of my complex emotions in a sigh.

Because I couldn’t hold on to this feeling forever.

Just like in the arena, I put down something that was piled up inside me here.

Then he turned around to leave the place.

Oddly enough, it wasn’t too heavy to walk forward with what was left behind.

Maybe that’s why I was able to afford it, and I even thought that I could take advantage of this situation.

‘If this is the case, I’ll decorate it a little more fancy and solve it quickly.’

Unlike South Korea, the United States is more exposed to the risk of armed terrorism.

As long as the government knows about the player, it won’t be difficult to fake the incident.

Just as I was making my plans for the future, I felt two signs approaching quickly.

Judging from the direction the two were coming, it must be the sniper and Lily.

Despite noticing that fact, I headed in the opposite direction from them.

Where the woman who was kicked a moment ago is.

Instead of taking any further action, the unknown woman stood guard in all directions with her sword raised.

I think he’s nervous because he can’t pinpoint where I am.

I cross-checked the map with an unknown woman once.

‘It’s not a target.’

You don’t have to kill them right away, but that doesn’t mean you have to let them live unconditionally.

‘It’s not too late to decide why I was here and what kind of relationship I have with them.’

After making my judgment, I released the invisibility and said.

“What is that?”

When the woman found me, she startled and shuddered.

The sniper and Lily returned at just the right time.

“Do you know each other?”

“no way.”

Scared to lightly deny the sniper’s question, the woman opened her eyes wide and pointed at me.

“Oh, Lee, Lily Evans!”

No, I will correct it.

It wasn’t me she was pointing at, it was Lily who had come next to me.

“Do you know me?”

“Uh, that, I saw it at the association’s inaugural ceremony… … ah!”

I wanted to answer more obediently than I thought, but suddenly I was surprised by myself.

On top of that, he even rolled his eyes like someone who had been stabbed.

‘He’s a bustling person.’

My first impression was not that calm.

While I was observing the woman, Lily asked in a strange tone.

“Are you a playup living in San Diego?”

Before the question was finished, the woman’s shoulders shook.

It was a very blatant reaction. It’s annoying to talk, so I want to answer with facial expressions and actions.

‘I don’t live here, but I’m Latina who was in conflict with drug traffickers…’ … .’

Given a few keywords and Lily’s attitude, the answer came easily.

‘Illegal entry.’

It seems that they crossed the border without permission.

So, in front of Lily, who is well known to be a member of the CIA, he notices it severely.

‘According to the principle, he should be arrested right away.’

I have no choice but to step out before Lily puts forward laws and principles.

“I think my question came first… … .”

After all, Lily came out first and intervened in her conversation.

Even if I have to ignore Lily, I will have to listen to the answer I want first.

Why was she hitting the target?

A strangely bitter feeling warned me to listen to it.

“I asked what you are. What’s your relationship with that dead guy over there?”

As I hung the spear on my chin and Hani’s shoulder and asked again and again, the woman came out and looked at Lily in turns.

“Should I ask again?”

Did Lily step down despite my intervention, confirming the ranks in this position?

“I’m here to kill that drug lord… … While doing it, burn some medicine… … .”

The woman’s mouth, which had been closed, began to open.

“Uh, um… … First of all, to stop the supply, I mean, those bastards made a new drug out of the blood of monsters? Why, you know, black blood. Everyone knows, right? But really, the effect is so dangerous, the blood vessels are just blackened and swollen, and the muscles are so tight that you can see it, it’s almost at the level of not being human. So, I wanted to stop what was smuggled before it was distributed… … .”

As a result, we could see why the system put a bounty on so many players.
