“Push it!”
Tata tang! Tata tang!
“Ugh!”
Soldiers resisting from within the castle.
This was a passageway, and a large hall was visible in the center.
At the back of the hall, there was a large staircase in the center, with long passageways extending to the left and right.
“Go behind the pillar!”
Tata Tang!
“Cover me!”
I ran towards the pillar in front while using the Halo (lv.3) skill.
Bam! Bam!
Bang! Pfft!
“Ugh!”
My body shook from the powerful explosion.
He hid behind a pillar.
“Are you okay?”
Phelps, who was following behind, asked.
Tata Tang!
“are you okay.”
I was dazed for a moment, but it’s okay.
I knew the resistance would be fierce, but it broke through the Halo (lv. 3) skill and caused a shock!
I thought it would be easy to get in since there were no knights in the air magic.
But there were more troops inside the castle than I thought.
And inside there were also escort magic knights.
“Keep moving forward! If you get stuck, you’ll be surrounded by enemies from the front and back!”
“yes!”
Once we get to the large central hall, it becomes much easier to attack the enemy since we are aerial magic knights.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
A large dragon bone was taken out of the alchemist’s workshop.
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
“Everyone, follow me!”
Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!
Puppupupupup!
Bullets flew from all directions and struck the Dragonborn.
But this can’t be penetrated by bullets.
Tututututu!
Puppupupupup!
“Ugh!”
It was difficult to move forward even one step at a time as even machine guns were firing.
Still, there isn’t much left to the hall.
Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
“Now is the time! Spread out and subdue the enemy!”
Pot! Papa Pot!
As we entered the large hall, the agents flew in all directions.
Bang! Tata tang!
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
The escort magic knights fall.
Because John Cutter and Ensign Franco, who had returned behind the barricade they were guarding, opened fire on them.
This is what makes the Aviation Magic Knights so strong.
So we went in alone.
“Phelps and John, take the right, Herman and Franco, take the left.”
“yes!”
“There must be an entrance leading underground somewhere!”
“yes!”
The troops scattered to both sides.
“Jester comes out and blocks the entrance.”
“yes!”
We took up positions behind the barricade.
“Then me?”
“Iris uses defensive skills when we are in danger.”
“okay.”
Of course, the mission will not be greatly affected even without Iris.
But it’s not a bad idea to instill a sense of belonging.
Enemies began to enter the castle.
“Catch them!”
“Enter!”
He aimed his assault rifle at the door.
Crunch!
Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!
The soldiers came in, shooting their rifles.
Bang! Bang!
“Ugh!”
“Whoa!”
Tatang!
“Ugh!”
One by one, they fell to each bullet.
The entrance is narrow, and only three or four people can enter at a time.
It took a long time for one named-level, two elite-level, and three ace-level units to get through the entrance.
Ordinary soldiers are out of the question.
“Throw!”
Swish swish!
Boom! Tutu tuck!
Three magic grenades roll in.
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pufufufu!
With my defensive skills, the flames directed at us are weakened and the debris is blocked.
But even the hot heat of the magic grenade was blocked.
Iris used the Air Wall (lv.3) skill in front of us.
It’s sturdy.
Please help me sooner.
“Come on in!”
The soldiers came swarming in.
Bang! Ta-ta-tang! Ta-ta-tang!
“Ugh!”
“OMG!”
But it falls again.
Just looking at that, you can tell that King Carmen of the Kingdom of Nubia is definitely here.
So don’t try to get in so desperately.
They already knew that we were bombing the capital, Waples, today.
Because we did it so openly on purpose.
I don’t know the exact destination, but it’s true that the entire capital is in danger.
And we also found out that there is a bunker deep underground in this palace.
A bunker so sturdy and well-built that it will remain safe even under heavy bombardment.
So it was obvious that he would hide in the place he was familiar with and the safest.
Tata! Tata!
A gunshot was heard from the hallway through which Phelps had entered.
This means that they are engaged in combat.
‘Did you find the entrance?’
Chi-chik!
– Phelps here. We’ve found the entrance to the bunker! It’s behind the fireplace in room 5. We’ll go in first.
“Be careful! The king must be captured alive.”
– yes.
“Herman and Franco, get back to the center! I repeat! Get back to the center!”
– yes!
I looked at Iris.
“Leave this to us and Iris, help Phelps. It’ll be tough over there.”
He handed me the dimensional translator.
“Hehe! I’ll be back.”
Iris put the interpreter in her ear and ran to where Major Phelps was.
I guess he feels good about being given a mission.
“There’s not much left! Block it well!”
“yes!”
Tata! Tata!
A while later, Herman and Franco returned.
Even when two people were guarding it, they couldn’t break through, but when there were four, they fell as soon as they entered.
Chaenggang! Chaenggrang!
The upper windows of the inner quarters were broken, and soldiers streamed in.
“Deal with Franco!”
“yes!”
Franco flew into the air and fired his automatic rifle at the incoming soldiers.
Papapapapat!
“Ugh!”
The soldiers who came in through the window were cleared out.
Franco, who uses Mana Field, is better at capturing enemy movements in narrow spaces.
Bang! Ta-tang!
At that moment, soldiers also rushed in from the passage behind the stairs, shooting their rifles.
‘What? There was a back door too!’
“Herman, take care of Jester!”
“yes!”
“Don’t use the explosion skill! It’ll be a problem if there’s smoke.”
Since the walls were all made of stone, there was little concern about fire.
But when the smoke gets thick, breathing becomes difficult.
Just now the window broke and the smoke escaped, which was a good thing for us.
We fought desperately against the enemies rushing from both sides.
It would have been easy to just blow it all away, but that would have caused my tolerance to collapse.
Chi-chik!
“Is Phelps still far away?”
– I entered the bunker, but there are magic knights inside, so it’s difficult to get through.
Although they were not aerial magic knights, there were also awakened magic knights among them.
Because of that, time was being delayed.
Chi-chik!
“I will go down.”
I ran down the hallway and then came back.
Chi-chik!
“Just tell them to take out all the guys shooting at Iris over there!”
– yes!
I could go, but since Iris is there, using her would be a good idea.
Chi-chik!
– We’ve taken control of the bunker.
“What? Already?”
Has it been a minute since we last contacted each other?
But you’ve already subdued him?
Iris is at least a named character. Maybe stronger than Enhardt.
Well, he fought dimensional monsters until he was 110 years old, so how strong would he have become?
After all, she is the ultimate weapon!
Chi-chik!
– But there are too many people here. I don’t know who is king.
“First, bring them all up!”
– yes!
After a while, about 20 people were brought in.
‘There were so many hidden things!’
Tata! Tata!
“Iris! Unfold the shield!”
“yea, I got it!”
Papat!
Iris activated an air wall in front of us.
Only then did I have some free time.
“Phelps, get everyone to the top floor!”
“yes!”
Now it was time to negotiate in a quiet place.
“Everyone, get upstairs!”
The agents started climbing the stairs first.
‘Wait a minute! This is too easy!’
For a moment, a strange thought occurred to me.
There was strong resistance, but it felt like the King was captured too easily?
[Use the Smoke Screen (lv.3) skill.]
Boom! Boom boom boom!
Smoke billowed up all around.
This smoke effect lasts for 30 seconds.
I put on my dimensional gloves and quickly hid myself.
‘I guess I’ll have to check······.’
Dododododo!
I ran to the room Phelps had been looking for, rolling my fingers diligently.
It really felt like I was playing some kind of game.
I am in another dimension, and only one hand remains in this dimension.
The field of vision was like a very thin curtain was drawn in front of the eyes, so there was no problem in seeing or moving.
‘It’s here!’
There were four people lying on the floor.
And there was a big crack in the wall where the fireplace was.
It would have been harder to find if there had been no soldiers guarding it.
Of course, the meticulous Phelps must have caught me off guard, but I went down the stairs that led behind the fireplace.
As expected, there were soldiers collapsed here and there on the stairs.
There was a fierce fight here too.
As we continued down the spiral staircase, we soon came to a wide open space.
‘Huh! Money is rotting!’
It’s not a bunker in a gloomy underground tunnel.
The floor and walls were made of marble, and the ceiling was brightly lit with magic lights.
There was also a wine cellar full of bottles of wine, and tables for drinking.
And even a ventilation duct.
Chairs and tables were piled up on one side, showing signs of resistance until the end.
I looked around every corner, but I didn’t see anything suspicious.
‘Did I get it wrong?’
No! He’s the guy who prepared a luxurious bunker deep underground because he values his own life.
There may be a passage leading somewhere else here.
I guess I’ll have to look into it a little more.
I revealed myself and turned on the dimensional radio.
Chi-chik!
“Phelps, how’s it going over there?”
– We’re at the top floor now. John and Franco are blocking the stairs. When will you be back?
“Just hold on a little longer. If it gets hard, ask Iris for help.”
– yes!
After finishing the radio call, it was time to look around again.
Quack! Creepy!
Suddenly, the entire wall of the wine cellar opened up······.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his early fifties emerged from inside.
“Whew! How on earth did those Atlan guys get in here?”
“I don’t know either.”
At that moment, I smiled without realizing it.
‘found!’
I almost got kicked in the nuts.
Aimed the gun.
Taang!
“Ugh!”
Kuung!
First, we dealt with the armed escort knights.
“omg!”
I locked eyes with King Carmen.
He turned and went back into the wall.
And then the walls started closing in.
But it was already too late.
Because I followed you in too!
Crunch!
“Shoo, don’t shoot! I am Carmen! I am the king of this country!”
The bastard was frightened and threw up both his hands.
“her!”
A sudden cough escaped.
The secret warehouse was filled with chests of gold coins and rare items.
Carmen let out a bitter laugh as she noticed me looking at the gold coins.
“You can take all the gold. Can’t you just let me go?”
“what?”
“No, I can give you as much as you want in gold.”
“How much more can you give?”
“If I put my mind to it, I could save this much gold in a year.”
“How? By raising taxes?”
“Of course. Or maybe give me a title of nobility? A baron? A count? Or maybe even a general. So if you just close your eyes just this once······.”
puck!
My fist came out without me knowing.
Outside, the knights and soldiers are risking their lives fighting to save this king, but this bastard really only cares about himself.
He placed the unconscious King Carmen on one side.
I opened the secret storage door and went outside.
Chi-chik!
“Phelps, how’s it going over there?”
– When I showed them the prisoners here, they stopped shooting.
Perhaps the soldiers guarding the palace also thought that we had captured Queen Carmen.
Carmen is here······.
‘Wait! You stopped shooting? Then we bought some time······.’
I turned my head towards the secret storage room.
Farming is unbearable.
***
10 minutes later.
The secret storehouse was completely empty.
I tried turning on the dimensional detector just in case, but there was no dimensional core.
Still, I found one really good one.
[Dimensional Breathing Mask – Brings in oxygen-rich dimensional air, allowing you to breathe at high altitudes.
[You must charge dimensional energy to use it.]
It was a shame that there was only one, but it was 100 times better than having none.
As you climb to your limit altitude, you may experience headaches and decreased attention and concentration.
In severe cases, your body may become stiff. This will help then.
Of course, this alone won’t allow you to fly very high, but just being able to fly a little higher than other aerial magic knights was a huge advantage.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
I went up the stairs with King Carmen at my side.
As we went out of the room, there were hundreds of soldiers waiting in the hall on the first floor alone.
[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]
Shhh!
As I slowly flew closer, the soldiers looked at me.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Don’t move! Your king is in my hands!”
I lifted the unconscious king up by grabbing his neck with one hand.
And with his other hand he held a pistol and aimed it at the king’s head.
“Huh! Your Majesty the King! Don’t shoot!”
“Cease fire!”
I leisurely flew up the stairs.
“Be careful! If you make a mistake, the king’s head will fly off!”
And I came up to the top floor.
I spoke to the officers and soldiers who were standing in opposition.
“We have the King and his ministers as prisoners. Bring us someone we can negotiate with!”
The knights and soldiers looked indignant, but did not move.
I leisurely joined the group.
Now I have the initiative.
