RUST [RUST]-1004

Woof-

Woooooooooo-

A tempting sound flowed from the blade.

On that topic, Newclips, who was quietly lying there with the appearance of saying ‘I am just a sword, so please catch me’, was surrounded by headless corpses.

Woooooooooooooo—

Maru knew what had happened just by looking at it. As soon as he pulled out Nuclipse, he chewed off the heads of the nearby guards with his characteristic fluttering and space-eating.

The one who drew his sword stepped back, saying ‘Uh-uh-‘, but that was an even bigger mistake. Those behind him also fell into the range of Newclips.

Seeing the wide hallway devastated, it seemed like the Nuclipse guy was hiding something that could extend the space encroachment even further. Or maybe he was just eating heads to extend the distance.

As if he sensed Maru approaching, New Clips, who had been wielding a thin sword, became quiet. ‘I am nothing more than a sword.’. ‘I am simply a sword that will be swung if you swing it.’ New Clips expressed this with his whole body.

Tsk-

Maru, who had been clicking his tongue, put Nuclipse back into the abandoned scabbard. Nuclipse, who had quietly returned to the scabbard, let out a small whine as if he was still hungry.

“Don’t be a jerk and do your job well.”

······.

Newclips, who had cried once and not been able to recover his principal, became quiet. The android bodyguard who led the way to the white elephant at Maru’s nod.

(Communication with No. 3, which was disconnected, has not been restored.)

The last video I saw, showing an android bodyguard suddenly disconnected from a giant elephant emitting white light.

(No. 4 found the place where the collateral royal family is.)

(No. 5 started engaging the guards.)

(No. 1 succeeded in taking control of the communications network and began to confuse the enemy.)

(The Royal Guard. Successful landing. Beginning engagement with the sinkhole control force.)

(Troop transfer begins in Taiwan. The first rapid strike force is expected to arrive in 6 hours and 23 minutes.)

The rapid strike force arriving by airship was comprised entirely of Awakened troops. The troops arriving by ship were also expected to arrive within 48 hours.

“There might be a hidden sinkhole. Let’s find out information about sinkholes first.”

(Delivered.)

(The collateral royal family attacked using their abilities. How should we respond?)

“Process it according to the response policy.”

Although the Android’s attack power was formidable, the collateral royal family’s abilities were also formidable. In addition, the guards were mobilized to protect the royal family.

“Can the two of you sort it out?”

Or, before going to see the elephants, should they first stop by where the royal family is? The android bodyguard immediately answered Maru’s question.

(It is said that No. 4 and No. 5 can sufficiently respond.)

Maru nodded slightly at the quick answer. Then it would be right to look at the elephant first.

“Don’t hurry.”

(yes.)

As Maru’s footsteps became slightly faster, the android bodyguard in front also walked faster.

(Arrived.)

“It’s big.”

The elephant’s dwelling, which had arrived that way, was surrounded by a huge wall. It was so large that it could be called a castle wall rather than a wall.

(There is a door on this side.)

There was a large door that matched its size. It seemed like a door that elephants could pass through. In the video, the android guard who arrived here was immediately disconnected as soon as he entered the small door.

‘He attacked right away.’

The problem was that it was unknown what the elephant was attacking with or how it was attacking. It was definitely dangerous that the attack and defense power that had annihilated the guards made up of ability users could not block a single attack.

This was especially true when we consider that the elephant-shaped figure and the powerful light that emerged when the Thai king made his final tantrum disintegrated the vines of death.

Android 2 looked around the room from the small door.

Let’s pull out the Nuclipse, the Nuclipse that makes a slurp- whoosh- sound.

Maru nodded, gripping the handle tightly as the vibration made him drool, saying, “I am just a sword.” “You chose me.”

Number 2 pushed the door. The unlocked door slowly opened with a dull sound. Creak- A heavy and stiff door that an ordinary person would not be able to open.

A red light flashed through the half-open door. Jeojeojeong- The red light pierced through No. 2’s shield and torso, and headed towards Maru, who was standing behind him.

Pukagagagak-

The cutting beam refracted through the space torn by Nucleus and was drawn horizontally. The red beam shot out again at the same time that Android 2’s torso was separated into upper and lower parts.

▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭—————–

It was a rampage that continuously used red rays that required cooling time, but the rays failed to penetrate the refraction of the nucleus and slid to the side, tearing apart a small door.

Android 3, who had fired a cutting beam at Maru who had jumped into the open gap, ran towards him. 3, with one eye and face melted from the recoil of firing continuously without cooling down, brandished his whip.

A forked whip shot through the air.

Whirilirik-

At the same time, the vines that rose from under Maru’s feet collided with the whip and became entangled.

▮▯▮▯▮▯▮▯—–

And then the whip and vines burst apart, unable to overcome the force. The dull shock wave spreads out in a circle, and Maru passes by No. 3 in the split second.

Kkwaddeuk—-

Number 3, who had lost his head, took a step forward, then instantly spun his waist 360 degrees and swung his broken whip.

The vines responded to the surprise whip and defended, but Maru was the first to attack.

Newclips swung to avoid the short whip that drew a circle.

The sword strike drawn left, right, up, and down split the headless No. 3 into a cross (╋).

Thud- thud-

Beyond the pieces of Android 3 that fell to the ground with a dull thud, a thick elephant’s leg was visible. The thick white leg, like a Greek temple pillar, was the only thing that came into Maru’s sight.

‘What size.’

And then the flash.

Flash-

The vines that protected the front of the floor turned into black particles and disappeared into the air.

Kim Yang and his bodyguards were engaged in a melee with the ambushed tanks.

[Turn up the power! Go to maximum power!]

The core armor shield could withstand several 120mm armor-piercing shells from main battle tanks. It was supposed to be able to withstand at least three and up to five shots. However, it was being destroyed by just one shot.

[Is this a shell that uses our technology?]

[Enemy tank. Looks similar to the tanks used by the South Korean military.]

Kim Yang cursed softly. You said you were trading with Southeast Asia, but you were actually selling weapons? Then, are all the other Southeast Asian countries armed with Korean military weapons?

[Drone deployment. Make the sensor a dead end!]

[Drone deployment.]

Micro-drone swarms rose like bees. Concealed in the jungle and tank trenches, the drones flew towards the tanks that were hiding, but lost their balance in the strong wind and scattered.

[Ability Reaction!]

[I am a wind user.]

A figure with his arms outstretched between tanks appeared on Kim Yang’s HUD (Head-Up Display). And then – bang – the 20mm sniper round was loaded into the chamber and fired.

bang-

The bullet shot straight through the air and broke apart upon impact with something unseen. The fragments scattered like buckshot, grazing past the wind user before a second bullet was fired.

Eek-

“Lie down···.”

The torso of the soldier who had blocked the surprised wind user with his body and held him down was shattered by the impact of the 20mm bullet.

The wind that enveloped the body of the ability user blew away the blood and flesh, but it also made the target more clearly visible.

‘It’s the wind.’

Wouldn’t it be okay if we just break through that?

Two bullets fired almost in rapid succession, one of which blew a hole through the wind and burrowed into almost the same spot, blowing off the wind user’s left shoulder.

The power of a 20mm bullet was more than a human could withstand. It hit the shoulder, but his left arm was torn off, and his ribs and lungs were exposed.

As the gusting winds died down, drones latched onto the tanks. Micro-drones that self-destructed toward the sensors. The guards were not the ones to just watch the tanks retreat, blinded in an instant.

[Now is the time. Charge!]

[Shoot the caterpillar!]

One by one, the tanks retreating from the persistent attacks were destroyed. Unable to bear it any longer, the tank crew opened the hatch and stuck their heads out, but they were shot before they could even find their bearings.

[Catch the kid with his head sticking out!]

[2 o’clock ability response!]

[Detonate the bomb!]

A 120mm mortar modified specifically for the core armor fired its weapons.

[2 o’clock silence.]

[Ability response at 3 o’clock. Confirmed by ground manipulation.]

[Request mortar fire support.]

The enemy’s ability users fought desperately to help the retreating tanks, but that was all. They could not stop Kim Yang and his guards.

[Tell them to surrender.]

[Refused to surrender.]

[They head towards the sinkhole.]

[Stop it. Shoot the guys heading towards the sinkhole!]

Kim Yang ordered a concentrated fire. The enemies, who had set up their tanks as a barricade, rushed toward the sinkhole. Cluster bombs and thermobaric bombs rained down on their heads.

It should have been wiped out with a few shots, but various ability users blocked the explosion, aftershock, and debris. Enemies who managed to get inside the control line through the gap.

And they opened things that shouldn’t have been opened.

[The control line···.]

The towering wall, like a castle wall, began to crack here and there. The control line began to split apart, like a dam before it collapsed.

Miss Kim, her eyes narrowing, pushed back the guards.

[Retreat to the trenches.]

[Prepare tactical nukes. Also prepare salt and seawater.]

[Deploy bunkers. Set up barricades to blockade.]

The cracks in the control line were growing wider. A dull, fog-like air began to seep out through the gaps in the wall that had collapsed like a collapsed bridge.

[Sprinkle sea water and salt!]

Salt was sprinkled like white snow, and sea water poured down like a waterfall.

Choaaaak-

Cheeeeeeek-

A cloud of mist rose up, as if water had been sprinkled on lava. Shadows were visible through the thick fog-like mist.

Woooooooooooo–

They were dead.

Kreeeeeeek-

Slowly moving, they began to emerge from the broken control line.

[Keep spraying!]

[Salt too! Quickly!]

They should have been rushing at great speed, but perhaps because they were hit by seawater and salt, they were moving slowly.

[firing!]

The flare’s beam of light was aimed at them like a laser.

[The sinkhole has already been dug. Bomb it! Now!]

A carpet bombing was thrown over the dead.

Maru covered his face with his left palm in the strong light that was far beyond the flash grenade. The strong light illuminated his palm bones as if it was an X-ray. The black vines and vine leaves that had risen as if to resist the violence of the light that followed melted away.

‘Fuck.’

Maru wiped his tears from his eyes as the light was so strong that his vision was momentarily paralyzed.

‘I can’t see ahead. Damn it…’

The vines and leaves that kept sprouting up from beneath my feet kept me from being blinded, but the flash was so threatening that it could blind me.

And then it continued.

thud-

Not sound, but vibration.

Thud- thud-

(You didn’t die or get sick?)

The doctor’s thoughts, not in words but as if they were engraved in my head, were felt as they were raw. And I felt the senses that had been quiet for a while.

Tingle-

Thump-thump—thump–

As I threw myself sideways, feeling a sense of urgency, a giant pillar-like leg trampled the spot where Maru had been standing.

Kwaaaaang—-

A shockwave and shaking as if a bomb had exploded. The small, spread-out garden of death was instantly crushed and erased.

(How can you avoid it when your body won’t move and you won’t be able to see?)

A feeling of urgency spread as if to try again.

“Shit.”

Maru, who had rolled to the side to avoid harm, jumped up and ran towards the small, split door. Maru grabbed Android 2’s arm, which was separated into upper and lower parts, and ran outside.

(What the heck?)

The back of Maru running away without looking back.

The shining elephant, who had been watching blankly, not knowing that he would run away like that, belatedly became angry.

Phewwwwwwwww!!!

You can’t escape! I won’t let you go!

Crunch-

The huge door was ripped open like a piece of paper, and a huge, glowing white entity strode forward at a brisk pace.
