Chapter 1116 – 1116. The Dark Moon
‘The first thing that comes to mind is… It’s a trap.’
I remember the first day I entered Rumel Forest.
At that time, the attached pursuers were dealt with using air traps.
‘…… Give up the trap. The traps I can set are limited.’
I know how to make booby traps, but I don’t even have a bomb to use right now.
Air Trap, a magic spell, consumes a lot of mana.
‘Above all, it’s highly likely that they know about air traps.’
Given that this amount of people are tracking us, it is certain that Major Bagh of Unit 105 and the Resistance have joined hands. Then, of course, I also shared information about air traps.
There are 15 pursuers chasing me. Two of them are first-class Mana Awakeners.
And I’m a 3rd class battle mage.
Calculation is over.
‘Fight. Kill the enemies and rise to the position of a hunter from prey.’
I quietly checked my equipment.
After about 5 minutes, I felt their presence vividly. They emerged through the trees. He points his rifle at me and quickly disperses. It advances towards me using trees as cover.
Unlike the 105th unit, which was wiped out by air traps on the first day, it was cautious.
“I didn’t know you’d stay here. Are your legs so tired from running around all day?”
“I’m sure you’re tired too?”
“We tracked in shifts. And unlike you, we adapted to Rumel Forest early on. Stop meaningless resistance and surrender.”
“Surrender? You said what I wanted to say first.”
“You say you’re a battle mage, but you’re quite cheeky. Do you believe in that paper-like barrier? What are you doing, shoot! Let’s teach the cheeky bastard that it’s a wizard and a nabal and numbers don’t mean anything!”
They pulled the trigger from all sides at once.
Sensing a small explosion of mana, I immediately used the moment. The world slows down You can see the bullet fired from the gun barrel.
‘It’s Matan. There are many. At this rate, even a level 3 barrier will be easily destroyed. It’s good that I used the moment as soon as I felt the mana.’
They made a mistake
They approached me at a distance of 10m to make sure they killed me.
‘The range of my psychokinesis is 15m. It’s on my street.’
It’s hard to twist their necks like this with telekinesis.
Creatures, including humans, naturally have a small amount of magic resistance. Telekinesis is a magic that is greatly affected by the target’s mental strength and magic resistance. Grabbing an object is more efficient than grabbing the target’s body with telekinesis.
‘Matan is a bit tough too… It’s better than grabbing a person’s body.’
I made up my mind to catch all the magic bullets flying by using telekinesis. 72 rounds in total. It was a lot for 15 people to shoot.
‘I thought he would definitely kill me with the barrier in mind.’
The number of magic bullets is too many. It takes my ability to control everything.
‘I give up complete control and only change the direction of the magic bullet. Just don’t come to me.’
When the mana rod was activated, the moment was canceled. This meaning is one. The movement of mana is also affected by the moment. In other words, the mana load is also accelerated. The formula had already been calculated, and there was nothing rough about it.
The activation of telekinesis was faster than the speed of magic bullets.
The flying magic bullet changed its direction and began to rampage randomly. Dozens of trajectories of various colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and purple are drawn in the air. It was like looking at some kind of art. However, the result was too cruel to be called art.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“My arms!!!”
“Help me too. My legs are frozen!”
“Aaaaagh!”
A red magic bullet passed by me. It hits a tree and causes a small explosion. It’s an explosive bullet.
‘The tree caught fire. Another pursuer will come right away.’
Only 6 people survived in the wild magic bullets. Of course, just because he survived didn’t mean he was fine.
I approached them with a rifle to finish them off. You have to save mana. There is no need to use magic to kill those who have lost their combat power.
Six gunshots rang out, almost dry.
I evaded the spot before another pursuer attached.
‘I was nervous because the Mana Awakener was included… Not much different from normal people. Is it because it’s first class?’
•••
6 am.
As the sun began to rise, I found their makeshift camp and killed the eight who remained there. Unit 105 was hit. The tent that made up the garrison belonged to the Kingdom of Freecell.
I took supplies while burning the tent. First priority is food, then bullets. Unfortunately, there weren’t many magic bullets.
“That’s ridiculous.”
A heavy, dignified voice came from behind.
I was startled. No matter how tired I was, I didn’t know that he would break through my senses and approach me. A cold sweat runs down the nape of your neck. I prepared a barrier, but it was not good to be preemptively attacked.
I shook off the emergency rations in my hand and turned my body back.
There was a tall middle-aged man. He was a man in a black military coat. The right arm of his machine smelled of oil.
“I thought that while I was away for a while, I would be killed by a youngster who wasn’t even a female leopard from the Ross unit…. Greenhorn. How am I supposed to accept this fact?”
“It’s not that simple. Think of a will to leave”
He pointed his rifle at Major Bagh.
“Of course, I have no intention of listening to your will.”
I pulled the trigger tight.
The muzzle shoots fire. The cartridge case fell lightly down. 12 Explosive Rounds, 4 Shock Rounds, 5 Shock Rounds. The magic bullets poured out without sparing.
It was enough firepower to tatter Major Bagh’s coat.
“Your son is bold.”
The problem is that only the coat is in tatters. Matan barely ripped off Major Bagh’s artificial skin. Gray steel peeked through the torn artificial skin.
“… Wasn’t the machine only for the right arm?”
“As I get older, my body isn’t the same as it used to be. I remodeled it with the money I earned. I just needed a performance test…. If it’s a monster secretly raised by the superiors, it won’t be bad against you.”
I took out the magazine loaded with magic bullets from my chest. Major Vag is pretending to be calm, but that doesn’t mean that the magic bullets aren’t effective at all. He should do a little more damage.
Major Bagh stretched out his right arm toward me. Part of his right arm glows blue.
Weiying.
“Son, it’s a dangerous thing for you to play with, so confiscate it.”
“…… !!”
The rifle in his hand flies into Major Bagh’s grasp. Not just guns. The pistol and attribute sword prepared as secondary weapons fly away. Magazines and knives were no exception. The worst thing is that even the artifact bracelet she received from Lexi was taken away. In his grip, metal items, including mine, are clinging to each other.
Fortunately, Major Vag did not recognize that the attribute sword and bracelet were artifacts.
“I commend you for not obsessing over weapons. They usually come with weapons to keep them from being taken away. But how are you going to fight without weapons? With those weak fists?”
Linked mana to the attribute sword. Major Bagh, who was not a mana awakener, did not notice even if he openly moved mana.
“You are mistaken. My weapon is mana It’s a substance you don’t even recognize.”
Those who have not awakened mana have an inferiority complex towards mana awakeners.
This is because life becomes easier in many ways if you know how to handle mana, the mysterious energy of this world. In particular, special workplaces such as the military are treated only for the reason that they are mana awakeners, and they are promoted faster than non-awakeners.
“Did she learn how to provoke from her too?”
Major Bagh’s face contorted. The expression on the theme of the machine is vivid.
Clap.
His left arm wrist was snapped and his muzzle popped out. White light gathered at the tip of his gun and he fired at me. It’s a laser He ran right sideways and narrowly avoided the attack.
“Show me how far you can go with that great mana!”
The laser fires again. I couldn’t avoid it this time. Although it was offset by hitting a level 3 barrier, the barrier had a hole in it.
‘… One more hit and the barrier itself will disappear. If you activate the barrier again… The mana to use for the counterattack is on the verge.’
I used a lot of mana to come this far.
‘I can’t survive if I focus on defense.’
Laser is fired I couldn’t avoid it. Barrier disappears.
Haha! The skin is finally peeled off!”
He smiled brightly and pointed his gun at me. Particles of light gather in front of the muzzle. It takes 3 seconds for the laser to fire.
‘I finally caught my guard.’
Confident of his own victory, the gnome’s mind went straight to the laser. He must be thinking of hitting me right and ending it.
‘Water.’
Water flowed from the attribute sword attached to his right hand.
“?!”
Major Vag reacted a beat late. Because it is a machine, the reaction is delayed.
‘Spark.’
Attribute changes to lightning. Even if waterproofing is basic, lightning will be different.
“Big uh… ! The kiddo does some tricks!”
His right arm stretched and cracked, and a small explosion sound was heard, and black smoke rose into the sky. The weapons that were caught in the magnetic force fall in abundance. It is certain that he lost the use of his right arm.
“Damn it. The thought of fixing his arm makes him go crazy. Die!”
‘In an instant.’
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 1]
I saw the laser and dodged it. He had no knack for moving his body and fell to the floor. I glanced over and saw that Major Vag was preparing the laser again.
The number of uses of the remaining moment is only once.
‘Once is enough.’
Feeling the sweat trickling down his chin, he stretched out his hand toward Major Bagh and activated his telekinesis. An artifact bracelet flew from within the dropped weapon. Immediately activates a level 4 barrier. The laser aimed at my head was blocked by the barrier.
“Tsk. Was that bracelet a barrier artifact?”
“It’s a 4th level barrier. Even if you can’t, you’ll have to hit 3 more lasers. Well, it’s a story when you have the power to do that.”
I regained my composure and rose from my seat.
The laser didn’t fly.
Even though there is an excellent optical weapon called laser in this world, the reason why bullets are mainly used is because the cost-effectiveness of laser is the worst. In the case of Major Bagh, he can’t shoot the laser because it looks like he has no batteries.
Clap.
His left arm changes. His muzzle widened andheheard the cartridges loading. Immediately after, his muzzle burst into flames. Magic bullets are flying I ran behind a tree. I couldn’t completely avoid it, but some were blocked by the 4th level barrier.
‘The magic bullet is of good quality. Even level 4 barriers don’t last long. We have to make a decision before the barrier disappears.’
The attribute sword that had fallen to the ground was moved with telekinesis. The attribute sword silently aimed at the nape of Major Bagh’s neck.
“Do you think you will get beaten twice?”
He kicked back The attribute sword flew far away and crashed into a tree. It is not an ordinary human leg strength.
‘As expected, the lower body was also a machine. The attribute sword flew out of the telekinesis range.’
It was to be expected. The attribute sword did its job by drawing his attention.
‘Shock wave.’
Uses level 3 magic shock wave. The shock wave fired from his fingertips flew towards Major Bagh. Entangled trees break, piles of dirt rise upwards.
Kwaaang!
Major Bagh, who was hit head-on by the shock wave, was pushed backwards. His machine body endured the shock wave, but it couldn’t stop it from cracking the surface.
‘Should I give one more shock wave? Mana is breathtaking. Can I make a gap?’
Shockwave has only a handful of pure physical destructive power among 3rd-class magic, but it consumes a lot of mana.
Enraged Major Bagh shoots magic bullets. The thick tree that protected me burns, freezes, and collapses into fragments. Magic bullet reached my barrier in gear. The barrier oscillates. It was when I was startled and tried to run sideways. The magic bullet did not fly.
Clap cluck clap clap.
A hollow sound echoed from Major Bagh’s left arm.
“Shit. Did everything fall…. Well, that’s it Seeing that you can’t fire magic either, it seems that you don’t have enough mana. I will cut and kill you myself.”
A knife protruded from his left arm.
“Are you going to engage me in melee? Do you have confidence in tagging?”
Mocked him If I’m crazy, I’ll engage a cyborg in melee. He had no intention of giving up the distance advantage.
“My favorite game is tag and chase. I liked the tagger. I had fun catching the guy running away.”
Major Bagh’s back opens and a thruster appears. I distorted my face. Major Bagh laughed loudly. The thrusters shoot fire, randomly crashing into blocking trees and vines as they fly.
‘It is impossible to escape. I have to fight.’
High-speed combat using thrusters. It was not a very good opponent for me, who was weak in melee. But it wasn’t that there was no way.
‘Telekinesis.’
I control my body with telekinesis. Magic is 100 times more reliable than desperate motor nerves. Avoid the flying Bhag warden to the side. Surprisingly easy to avoid.
‘It’s the first time he’s ever fought using a thruster.’
Major Vag rushes in from the front. His speed slowed down a bit. He noticed that the thrusters were rapidly running out of fuel.
‘If you hold on like this a few times, you’ll have a chance to escape. However… I don’t have the confidence to fight a physical battle against a cyborg. I see the match here.’
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 0]
Calculating the formula, I glared at Major Vag, who was flying by using the thruster.
His knife aimed at my shoulder. You can feel his intention to lead the battle more reliably by not aiming for vital points right away. He knew that it wouldn’t be strange even if I stretched out now.
Instead of dodging, I burrowed forward. The blade grazed my shoulder. It’s not dangerous.
‘Recoil endures with telekinesis… !’
I stretched out my palm to Major Bagh’s stomach. Reached At the same time, my body was pushed back. I hit my back against a tree.
“Lightning Grab!!”
Using the intense pain in his back as a driving force, he shouted a chant as if chewing and spitting it out.
The mana that sprang from the astral raced through the mana road and turned into a spell prepared by her, which became her magic.
Pajijijijijijik!
Hundreds of thunderbolts exploded through the palms and ran through Major Bagh’s mechanical body. The light from the thunderbolt made the surroundings as bright as daytime.
“You bastard!!”
Major Bagh raised his left arm. But the blade never came down on me. A thunderbolt destroyed his mechanical body. His expression also hardened. The only thing moving is his left eyeball.
“Major Bagh. I won.”
Mana is already low, but she doesn’t need mana to finish the can.
She snapped a suitable twig beside her. She poked a tree branch deep into his left eye, where he couldn’t even open his mouth.
Her terrifying sensations felt through her hands.
‘Cyborg’s limit is that he can’t turn his brain into a machine.’
If you turn your brain into a machine, it’s not a human, it’s a robot.
Having won, I let out a deep sigh and left Major Bagh behind. I glanced back. Major Vag’s mechanical body did not collapse even in death. It’s a body so great that you can admire it.
‘I don’t think I’m envious.’
I sat down on the floor. As soon as mana is restored, he intends to crush that amazing body into small pieces. There’s a camera or something on that body, and if that data is fine, things won’t end up being a nuisance.
•••
At noon.
I dragged my tired body and arrived at the meeting place.
Lexi was there first. Her appearance was also not normal. Her right arm is broken, and her pink bobbed hair is slightly tanned.
“I found the stronghold of the Resistance and robbed it. The target, Lieutenant Ol Kor, was alive with his limbs cut off.”
“Did you kill him?”
“I had time, but it was annoying.”
She shrugged her shoulders. I nodded calmly. If it were me, I would have made the same choice. I had no intention of taking such a cumbersome lump of luggage with me.
Lexie came to the side. Her head rested on my shoulder.
“Ah. I want to have sex.”
“… Is that what you are going to say now?”
“I just said my true feelings. Let’s go to the stream, wash, and sleep. And when you wake up… Know?”
I didn’t tell you that I killed Major Vag.
It will take a long time to return to the unit, but Tarzan’s life with Lexi will not be bad.
