Chapter 280
The gunfire was continuous. As soon as I heard the sound, a hole opened in the wall to my upper left. It’s clearly a bullet mark. It was Historia’s Qigong bullet, so it tore through even steel, but anyway, that was common sense.
And the odds continued.
The bullet mark, which should have existed as a dot, wriggled while dreaming of a good line. The concrete was crushed and the steel was crushed, leaving a hideous hole that stretched all the way to the floor, as if drawn with a single stroke.
For a moment, I saw a vision of a knife that could be several tens of meters long passing by me.
The gunfire is over.
Right after that, the three right wings of the angel exploded all at once.
feathers fluttered The holy light filled his vision. The feathers that lost their wings were scattered like rags, and the angel that lost its right acceleration sprang to my right.
but.
『Did you touch the mystery…! After all, right after abandoning the military…!]
The angel was still alive. Historia grabbed her throbbing wrist.
The world listened to her insistence, but it took Historia’s power to use it. Historia controlled her trembling wrist.
‘It was a great opportunity…! There was no guarantee that I could do the same thing twice!’
Rapid growth during combat. When the opponent unexpectedly turned his back, he struck a blow with a powerful technique. It’s a perfect surprise.
‘But I couldn’t finish it! If I put the angel in the line of fire, Huey and the signalman would have died…!’
It’s just that I couldn’t attack the main body because Captain Aby and I were there. Historia was very sorry.
Chet. After awakening during the battle! If this were your hidden power, I would have read your thoughts ahead of time and kept pace!
The world is truly unfair. I’m the one who needs that kind of awakening, so why is Historia awakening? Why is it that the rich and the poor are used even in armed forces?
That was when I lamented.
『Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhen
to the pain, crying in pain. Even angels feel pain when their wings are ripped off. I’m
sorry.
‘It hurts!’
A mental scream is heard from inside the angel. It is not Aimeder’s scream. It was the scream of IA who became an angel’s sacrifice. The woman who should have been unconscious was crying out in pain.
It’s not just her.
“Ah ah…!”
Even Captain Abbey, who was sympathizing with me. The signalmen who hid in their respective rooms let out mental screams all at once. Twenty-six screaming at the same time made my head throb.
“what? Isn’t it over yet?”
The more the signal soldiers’ screams overlapped, the more the angel’s light increased. It was like a plant that grew with screams as nourishment.
By the time the painful chorus reached its finale, holy light erupted from the angel’s shoulder blades.
Historia exclaimed.
“Dangerous! Huey run away!”
I know without saying That’s dangerous!
I hugged Captain Abbey and threw myself on the Queen of Heaven. Somehow, after wrapping up Captain Abbey so that he would not fall, he shouted as he held out the hem of the cloth all the way to Aji.
“Oh! Aji sledding!”
“Woof woof! Only this time!”
Aji grabbed the end of the queen of cloth and ran away. The body jerks backwards at sudden acceleration. The sled led by the dog king could be described as the king of dog sleds.
A light exploded behind us.
In place of the severed wings, tentacles of light sprouted. Each column of light hit the walls and floor at random. The steel dented and the concrete that filled it turned to dust and flew away. Historia tried to cut off her tentacles, but the tentacles of light were much harder and stronger than her wings. Even Historia fell back helplessly in the successive attacks.
In a hurry, Aji put the cloth in her mouth and spurred on.
“Mungmung! Mung-mung-mung!”
Aji shook his head and ran away. The head swings left and right. If I let go of my hand, I feel like my body will jump out.
However, we cannot blame Aji for reckless driving. Every time my body leaned to one side, a pillar of light slammed down next to me.
“Mung! Ugh!”
It’s amazing driving skills. enough to drive for me.
Ahji, who was so nimble in avoiding the tentacles of light, at some point bit his teeth.
“bruise!”
“Ugh?”
Aji planted his forelegs into the ground and spun around. A sudden change of direction that only quadrupeds can do. Aji sent us flying at the peak of the spin.
I had to give my full strength not to miss Captain Abbey.
Aji, who seemed to have fallen into the light beyond us, lifted his front paws.
“Wooong…”
“Oh!”
Sacrificing yourself for us…! No matter how much you are against that angel!
“Ooooooooooo!”
Aji barked loudly, revealing this. I took a big bite at the pillar-sized pillar of light. Then the tentacles were severed.
The tentacles were not human, so Aji continued to attack fiercely. It pressed down with its forepaws and blocked the tentacles by biting down with its teeth.
what. It wasn’t too dangerous. Aji, full of composure, spoke while jumping wildly.
“Baggage! doesn’t exist! comfortable!”
“Baggage? that one.”
I feel bad for the burden of hearing Siri. If you hadn’t saved my life, you would have tasted human malice.
『Aaaaaagh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
the angel seems to have lost reason. It could have been done by ignoring it and stepping in, but it still continues to attack Aji in vain. For a moment, Aji wanted to be on the defensive, but then another shadow jumped in.
“Nyan-nya-nyang!”
In the meantime, even the butterfly, whose hunting instinct was activated, participated in the war. The two beasts played between the pillars of light as if they had discovered an interesting game.
Now you see the virtue. Lived thanks to the beasts. In this gap…
“…you.”
Captain Abbey called me in a weak voice.
“Captain Abbey? are you okay? Once…”
“I found it.”
Captain Abbey reported in a voice gasping with pain. The moment her clear eyes met mine, I read her in full.
Captain Abbey coordinated with all of Module Eye’s signalmen to trace the IA back. It was a time when we were persuading each other despite the strong opposition of other signal soldiers.
In the meantime, Historia made sense and tore the world apart.
Aimeder’s wings were ripped off. The irrational attack reached not only IA’s unique magic, but also the mystery of the angel somehow.
The moment the angel was hit, all the signalmen felt a strange sense of exhilaration.
There Captain Abbey found her.
A cold, dark room. A narrow place made of stone with no decorations. A confession that was not monotonous to the point of reverence.
Among them, there is one person who is kneeling and praying…
“Here you are. A communications center has been erected above her… This is a monument in her honor…”
Captain Abbey pointed to the floor. This floor is covered in slick concrete with crevices full of scattered papers and broken golems.
If you don’t know, you can never find out. How do you know there is something down here? In the first place, even this module is a secret space without a single window, so there is no chance for anyone to discover it. Even if the regressor comes, he will not find it.
But if you know there’s something there, you see it.
cold and dark bottom. The look of someone kneeling down and praying in a lower place than anyone else.
“Nice job Captain Abbey.”
found. A mean smile formed on my lips.
“I can come to an end now.”
You might be anxious or doubtful, but Captain Abbey asked me in a broken voice.
“…was the main building helpful to you?”
“Of course. I’m a no-brainer and I’ve been helpful to everyone here. Even Captain Abbey himself.”
Captain Abbey smiled happily. I’d like to praise you more, but in the current situation, even that is an extravagance.
I called Historia, who was in a state of disrepair.
“Leah. I found it.”
“What?”
“The existence that summoned the angels. If we deal with that, we can get rid of that angel.”
Unlike me, who was engulfed in ecstasy, Historia didn’t seem too reluctant. Historia asked hesitantly.
“…Can’t we just run away?”
The place Historia pointed to was outside. It is a building without windows, but the walls and floor are badly damaged by the continuous battle. The angel is also fighting the king of beasts, so now he can escape if he wants to.
“This is headquarters. Even if we can defeat the angel, if all forces are mobilized and an all-out war unfolds… we will be pursued to the end. It’s not good to fight a country. Huey run away like this.”
“To prevent that, we have to move forward. Angels and signal soldiers are the backbone of the military, and if handled properly, the military will have no time to give orders.”
“Do you know what lies ahead? You had better run away. If you go and join the progenitor or cutie, you can save your life…”
“We are always running away. Right now, that direction is just ahead.”
Confirming my will, Historia shut her mouth. In the silence, Historia’s wide eyes scolded me.
‘okay. you have always been Even if you make a place to leave and come back, you don’t look back. I can’t stop you even for a moment…’
Unlike me, Historia has no desire to meet an angel. I don’t even want to lose the military and chuck.
Historia was just following me to protect Shiati and was depressed by that fact.
‘If I had hated the military, I would have been with you wholeheartedly. Why can’t I?’
The heart cannot be fooled. If you don’t hate me, how can you hate me?
Historia made her decision. As before, follow my will.
“where are you?”
“Do you see the document with the map of the world over there? down there.”
The place I pointed to was the floor where piles of paper were piled up. Historia nodded.
“I’m falling behind.”
Historia took two steps to the side, estimating the direction. I put the angel and the floor in the line of fire at the same time and put a bullet into the gun after reaching a position where others would not be hurt.
“Can you use that one more time? Never mind the beast. They’ll figure it out.”
“know.”
After answering briefly, Historia gripped the pistol like a sword again. Raise it slightly above your head with two hands instead of one.
It can’t be seen as a posture to shoot a gun, but that’s why it’s more threatening than anything else in the world.
“Woof woof!”
“Nyahak!”
The beast’s senses are sharp. Feeling threatened, the two bristled their fur and split to the side. Now there is nothing between Historia and the angel, or beyond the angel.
Putting the turbulent pillar of light into the trajectory, Historia expressed her bayonet rifle again.
From Historia’s point of view, it looked like she was wielding a blade made of darkness.
It is a line shot. space is divided From the ceiling to the floor, it was not cut cleanly, but the traces of destruction torn with ruthless force were engraved.
A roar resounded like thunder. The entire space is immersed in gunfire. The shockwave alone made the walls and ceiling tremble.
by the time the sound subsides.
『Musketeer!! I won’t forgive you!!]
This time, the angel managed to withstand the gunfire. Dozens of eccentrically grown tentacles overlapped over and over again to obtain reason.
Even if it is a bayonet gun, in the end it is a line shooting. It means that if you have the durability to withstand Historia’s gunfire, you can block it. It’s almost impossible, but whatever.
Nonetheless, the strategic goal was achieved.
cracked concrete floor. over there… There is a passage going down.
“Go Huey.”
Historia strode forward.
“I will be in charge of the back. There is no one to stop me but me.”
“You are the only ‘person’ who can definitely stop it. Can I leave it to you?”
“Just come up safely.”
“haha. That’s always my goal.”
I shrugged my shoulders and prepared to go down. Even though the preparations were only to pack a few tools and remove the stone fragments blocking the aisle.
It was a passage with a structure closer to a ladder than a staircase. Sometimes, you may be disappointed.
Diamond 8 Anything that is long and thin. Convert it into alchemy to make a long rope. He tied a rope to the top of the ladder and threw the end of the rope down. It’s pretty deep, so I don’t hear a crash.
hmm. It’s scary. don’t know what’s down there
“Captain Abbey, go down first. Something might fall from above, so I’ll follow you down.”
“All right.”
Captain Abbey readily accepted the suggestion to take the lead. Thanks, but would you like some help? I asked just in case.
“Do you know how to ride a rope?”
“I tried it with a golem.”
“Neither success nor attempt? Pause. Come down with me.”
In the end, I’m the only one who believes in it. Wrap a cloth queen around your body and wind a rope around it. If you put on this and slide down, you can quickly reach the bottom.
After getting ready, I spoke to Historia.
“When the time comes, let Princess Siatina go too. It would be safer there.”
“okay.”
Historia answered dryly. He looks at his back as if telling him to go quickly.
Being left alone seemed lonely, so I added a word for her.
“Thank you Leah. For helping me every time.”
“lie.”
“Really? I’ll prove it when I come up safely.”
“how?”
“I’ll leave that as a pleasure for the time.”
He smiled at Historia, who was moving away, and took the next step. To the bottom where the secrets of a distant and dark military await.
“Captain Abbey. going! Hold on tight!”
“Ready. It’s okay to leave… Kyaaat!”
As soon as I ran into the aisle, Captain Abbey let out a shrill scream and hugged me.
As for the golem, how could the experience of falling with my own body be the same as doing it with the golem? It would have been dangerous if I had sent it down alone.
The speed is gradually picking up. The ladder hit my back and it hurts. I should have put Captain Abbey this way, but I don’t know how to ride a rope, so there’s no way.
It was quite an uncomfortable and difficult position, but anyway, Captain Abbey and I made our way through the darkness to the heart of the military without incident.
good.
Show me your army.
tell me the secret you’ve hidden
