Rust - Chapter 485

RUST -485

Perhaps because he used his acceleration ability, blood spurted out from his severed arm.

Maru slapped away the blood that was spurting out with his sword and stepped back.

Movements that appear like afterimages to onlookers.

Did you just shed a drop of blood?

Right in front of your nose?

Agent Virginia, who saw that scene, unconsciously bit her molars.

Kkadak-

None of the videos of the fight in Japan, the Yellowstone National Park videos, or the China conquest videos had the same movement as now. Even if they were fast, they didn’t move as far out of the cut as now.

‘What is that? Is it really Vladimir Kalin?’

Among the people with abilities I know, the one with the highest acceleration in single-player battles was Erilyn Newman. But her arm was cut off in seconds?

‘oh my god.’

If the target had been the head or torso rather than the right arm, that would have been the end.

Sweat beads pouring out.

What if a monster like that storms into headquarters?

‘Can it be stopped?’

Don’t even bother stopping it.

I thought the Navy that lost the Aegis ship was a retard, but that wasn’t the case. You want me to stop that? Probably the only way would be to blow up the entire ship it’s on.

“Video. Video?”

“It won’t work because of the EMP.”

Didn’t you say an EMP went off a little while ago?

“Yeah. Right.”

He cursed softly and shook his head desperately.

I couldn’t express it in a report. How should I describe it?

‘With a snap! I cut the cross guard with my sword and simultaneously cut off the opponent’s right arm.’

It wasn’t threatening at all. It wasn’t scary.

‘I guess I can just shoot.’ It feels like that level of threat. That’s not it.

This was a threat that had to be seen for itself.

And the officer, who saw the threat just a few yards away, felt his legs give out. For a second? No, not even a second. Something shook, sparks flew twice, and Erilyn’s arm was severed.

The arm was severed before the sparks flying into the air had even disappeared, without anyone knowing when it was cut off. All of my plans were thrown into disarray.

Cell acquisition? The sound of a dog eating grass···.

He’s about to become a one-armed beauty queen, but he’s like a retard.

No way. Would Vladimir Kalin be interested in people with disabilities? That can’t be the case.

‘I have to seize this opportunity no matter what. No matter what.’

The officer desperately squeezed. Then, the sight of Erilyn caught his eye. She stood there dumbfounded, looking at her arm that had been cut off without her knowing, and fainted without even screaming.

“Hygiene- Nurse! Nurse! Where is the doctor!!”

He was an officer who squeezed the image of a kind village chief desperately asking for help to save a village girl whose arm was cut off. A passionate performance.

‘Yes, this is it.’

The fact that Vladimir Kalin and the SS came together meant that the medics also came. The medical facilities here were so poor that they could not perform the joint surgery.

‘What if I take you to Vladislav Tower and have you undergo a grafting operation?’

Looking back, losing my arm was the best opportunity. A chance to infiltrate naturally.

If he underwent surgery to reattach his amputated arm and began rehabilitation, he could expect to live at least 4 to 6 months.

If you don’t see eye to eye for 4 to 6 months, then you’re wrong.

“There is no hospital in this town or in the nearby cities that can perform the joint surgery. There is no hospital or doctor. Please help us not to lose the best doctor in town like this.”

A desperate plea poured out at Maru’s feet.

“Please. Help me.”

The village chief’s sadness somehow feels awkward and rough.

Maru swung the sword in his hand habitually, shaking off the subtlety that he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

Thud-thud-

A severed arm was visible at the tip of a sword that had been dropped diagonally. From a distance, it looked like it had been cut cleanly, but it was actually a torn arm.

‘I don’t think it will be possible to recover to normal with suturing surgery?’

It would be possible to do daily life to some extent, but it seemed difficult to do delicate things like using chopsticks or doing extreme exercise.

‘I wonder if it would be different if I used a rapid cure.’

Tsk-

If you say you want to spar but start messing around from the first round, you’re going to get your hands ripped off. What can you do?

By the way, I came here thinking it would be a chance to recruit capable people, but this is it. Maru, who was annoyed by many things, furrowed his brows.

The village chief is seen holding the arm of a fainted woman and stopping her bleeding.

huh?

Now that I think about it, it was definitely strange.

This woman is the most capable person in True and the village?

Didn’t you say that you were able to survive the winter thanks to your abilities?

I turned the town’s most capable person into a cripple, but the townspeople’s reaction was blank?

No one screamed, just a sigh when their arm was cut off?

While the village chief is desperately crying and begging for help, no one is opening the door and coming out?

‘Is this the identity of the uneasiness?’

Whether they lived as a ‘family’ or as a ‘family’ for at least 7 months during the harsh winter, it was common for a beauty like this to have at least one or two men who stole their hearts.

Wouldn’t it be normal for the men who were in love to run out without any regard for the woman’s arm being cut off?

Or let’s say a woman has a personality like that and there are no men like that, but shouldn’t she at least have someone she’s close with?

The village chief howling like a dog and the other people being so blind.

“Drop your weapons and lie down.”

Maru stretched out his sparring sword and aimed it at the people standing on the village fence.

“What? You guys.”

“······?”

“······.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden? What is it?

After waiting for a moment for an answer, Maru swung his sword.

Kwajijijijik!

The village gate, made of thick logs, was split like a corn stalk.

“Subdue the Imperial Guard village. If they resist, dispose of them. Carry out.”

[ancient.]

[An order to subdue the village.]

[Entering Formation Delta.]

Even though it was a sudden order, the guardsmen moved without a moment’s hesitation.

[Alpha, Bravo are in front. Charlie, Delta···.]

[If you do not comply with control or resist, you will be immediately punished.]

The village chief, covered in blood from trying to stop the bleeding of a woman whose arm had been cut off, crawled to Maru’s feet.

“Oh, you misunderstood.”

“I know what I misunderstood.”

The cold gaze of Maru seemed to pierce the lungs of the officer disguised as the village chief.

“Tell me. What did I misunderstand?”

“······.”

You’re saying that it wasn’t a misunderstanding as you pushed heavily armed exosuits into the surrendered village?

No. Fuck.

It’s a village that has already surrendered, so it’s common sense that we shouldn’t do this.

Why are you doing this when you can just go in and make the atmosphere nice?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what Vladimir Kalin was thinking.

‘I was just sitting still, why are you doing this?’

The officer, who had been standing still and could not see that there was a problem, simply lay down.

“All the villagers have said they will surrender. Even if you don’t send in the Royal Guard, they will all disarm. Even if you don’t force them like this…”

“So… is it something I can say in words?”

[Put down your weapons. Place your hands on your head.]

[Lie down there. Hands visible. Head up.]

[You little brat, you’re going to get a haircut!]

[Those who have dropped their weapons go to the open space in the center of the village.]

The sound of the guardsmen putting away their weapons and herding people into the central open space.

“That’s why you’re talking about it now.”

“······.”

When entering a village like this, people tend to express a variety of emotions.

The villagers who were beaten and surrendered felt emotions such as anger, fear, and despair.

The villagers who surrendered before being hit felt emotions such as anxiety, nervousness, and anticipation.

But the people in this town don’t have that.

These are the survivors of this fucking situation.

That’s what I mean.

The more I think about it, the stranger it gets, you guys.

“Let me ask you one last time. What are you guys?”

“······.”

======

======

‘That little kid has good reflexes.’

They said that he was a promising officer in the military, but as soon as the woman’s arm was cut off, they were trying to put him in the Vladislav Tower.

‘I got hurt during the sparring. You want me to treat it? If you just open your mouth, it’ll be possible.’

The acting was pretty good, and maybe losing his arm was a blessing in disguise.

‘uh?’

It was supposed to be like that, but it was strange.

‘I’m begging you right in front of me, and you’re ignoring me?’

Shouldn’t you at least tell the guards to do first aid on the woman with the severed arm? She got hurt while sparring. Even if the woman had been using sparring as an excuse to rush out, it would have been the same.

But if he were a king, if he had cut off his arm in a duel, if there were many eyes watching him.

Wouldn’t it be normal to take emergency measures, at least for the sake of saving face? But you just ignore it?

‘What the fuck.’

When the EMP exploded, he said “three-three”, and from the beginning, he started cutting off my wrist.

This wasn’t good.

To survive in this industry and rise to the position of team leader, you had to have a good intuition.

But then the tip started to sound an alarm.

‘Vladimir Kalin’s mood has changed?’

The Virginia Company agents could feel it.

At the same time, the main gate made of thick logs was cut down with one slash of the sword.

‘Did you get caught?’

I thought about running away, but I heard the sound of crows in the sky.

Caaaak!

Ugh? Ugh?

When I raised my head, crows were circling the sky.

This means that the all-out surveillance and siege of the village is over.

“FUCK!”

As soon as he uttered a curse, a guard armed with an exosuit burst in.

[There on the fence.]

[Put down all your weapons and come down.]

[Arms above head.]

[Interlock fingers.]

The heavily armed bodyguards in exosuits spoke with their guns pointed at them.

‘What should I do?’

‘The stairs are blocked.’

Subordinates sending out signals. Enemy SS approaching.

[Finally, I warn you. Arms above your head!]

What the fuck-

I was glad that I had installed both an electronic detonator and a mechanical detonator to avoid a misfire. Then the signal was dropped.

‘Gather at Point C. Press!’

‘Emergency escape. To C point. Blast!’

‘Gather at Point C. Blast!’

As I stepped on the crude detonator with my foot, the bombs placed here and there exploded.

bang!

That small explosion caused an explosion.

Kwaaaaang!

Kururururung—-

A huge shockwave accompanied by a huge blast of flames blew half the village away.

Those who tried to escape during the explosion were all caught by the crows and wolves. They made the choice that field agents always make: they committed suicide by taking poison.

======

======

The thick wooden fence that had blocked the debris and sparks of the explosion was burning.

“What about the villagers?”

[Difficult to confirm due to secondary explosion.]

“Take care of our children first. The rest will come later.”

[ancient.]

Whether there were survivors or wounded among the townspeople would be a concern later. Maru ordered the guards to be taken care of first.

‘I thought they were recruiting capable people.’

Things are going to suck.

Maru pushed the village chief who was lying on the floor with the tip of his foot. Although he appeared to have no injuries on the outside, the village chief who had already cooled down fell over helplessly.

“no way-

He committed suicide while his attention was briefly distracted by the loud noise and fireworks.

It’s probably poison.

[We caught the fleeing enemies, but they all committed suicide.]

“Preserve all the bodies. Take them with you when you return.”

Maru turned his head and looked at the airship.

Although it’s said to have improved a lot, it wasn’t good to use psychometry on a corpse. I’ve been overworking it recently.

Tsk-

As Maru’s gaze turned downward, he saw her chest rising and falling slightly.

The woman whose arm had been cut off was still alive.

Swish-

Maru opened the unconscious woman’s mouth.

======

======

Irene was half-asleep and dizzy.

‘······.’

For some reason, my right arm hurt so much.

Was it a dream?

If it was a dream, it was a very vivid dream.

Dream about my arm being cut off by Vladimir Kalin’s sword.

‘Is this a nightmare?’

It was definitely a dream come true to cut off a person’s arm with a practice knife.

The pain felt as the hazy consciousness gradually becomes clearer.

It was a pain that felt like my right arm was being squeezed tightly.

My sense of touch came back first, followed by my sense of smell and hearing.

The sound of something burning, a pungent smell.

When she forced her eyelids open, what she saw reflected in her eyes was Vladimir Kalin.

The face of Vladimir Kalin, right in front of our noses.

‘uh?’

What is this?

Why so close?

‘Is this a dream too?’

So is it like a dream within a dream?

While Ariel was dazed for a moment, he opened his mouth.

Vladimir Kalin’s fingers gently teasing his tongue.

‘Ah- this too is a dream.’

Maru’s fingers were trampling all over my mouth like that.

Kwajik!

She had her wisdom tooth pulled.
