RUST [RUST]-681

Maru had fought high-level cannibals and vampires.

Their senses were as precise and sensitive as advanced sensors. They reacted even when we surprised them while they were hiding in their ripper suits.

‘This kid has good instincts.’

The guy targeting you right now is probably someone who can sense the Ripper suit’s hiding power.

Cock!

Maru deflected the stiletto that was jabbing at the back of his head and entered the smokescreen set off by Joseph Meyer.

There was an empty chair inside the special bulletproof glass cut diagonally. Joseph Meyer had disappeared through the gap without even bumping into the stiletto guy a few times.

‘Where did you go?’

Maru’s eyes, shining brightly with the determination to live like a lion that has missed its prey, wavered for a moment.

Let’s cut straight towards the feeling of approaching while circling around the edge of a thick smoke screen like peeling an apple. Bam- Eclipse got entangled in the guard part of Stiletto.

A guard that is not a cross-shaped guard, but rather a fork-shaped guard. A thick guard reminiscent of a sword breaker greeted Eclipse.

Hehehe.

As if waiting to get entangled, the bastard began to tighten his wrists.

Kigigigigigi-

The sensitive sensation of the floor along the blade predicted the bastard’s physical information.

A very thin and slender body type.

In contrast, it has incredibly strong strength and flexibility.

‘A cannibal? No… This guy. He’s a vampire.’

The sound of her giggling and snickering about something good grated on Maru’s nerves. No matter how hard she tried to turn around and escape, that little brat would sense it like a ghost and prevent her from getting entangled in Eclipse.

I tried to throw a low kick after breaking his center, but that wasn’t easy either. That’s because he was thinking the same thing.

The guy who seemed to have noticed Maru’s aggressive tendencies slightly relaxed his strength and exposed his side. He couldn’t see it because he was also wearing a ripper suit, but it felt like his side was wide open.

Even in that short moment, Maru’s intuition was fully demonstrated.

The open space now is the bait, if you get caught there, the other hand that was tightly hidden will come out to greet you.

Maru took a step forward as if he had taken the bait. The laughter he let out rose a semitone as if to say, ‘I got caught.’

Maru advanced, pretending to aim for the side as if he had been lured by bait. As he spun around the foot he had stepped forward, the Eclipse he had been holding onto couldn’t overcome the rotational force and burst out.

‘Damn it!’

Eclipse, having found freedom, shot out like an arrow, using rotational force as propulsion.

Hehehe.

A small, frivolous laugh escaped him, as if he were glad that he hadn’t fallen for the bait. At the same time, his left arm flapped like a live fish.

Kirik – A stiletto identical to the one he was holding in his right hand began to entangle with Eclipse, just as they had when they first confronted each other.

He started to fight with only his left hand, leaving his right hand empty. As if he didn’t need to use his right hand.

Maru’s eyebrows twitched. Provocation? But Maru didn’t fall for cheap provocation. If he was a kid who hung out with Joseph Meyer, it wouldn’t be a simple provocation.

After a brief standoff, Maru figured out the bastard’s behavior pattern. This bastard’s job was to tie Maru up here. Not just tie him up.

‘Are you wasting time?’

Two people who move as if they can see through each other, even though they cannot see each other due to the stealth function of the Ripper suit.

The movement of the floor became faster. The thing reacted despite that speed. The two swaying masses with the blade between them began to clash fiercely.

Boom! He was a guy who didn’t back down even when the sword was struck as recklessly as a hammer. He was even able to block the sword strike on the floor with one hand. I didn’t know something like this would suddenly pop up.

Moreover, whenever he feels like he has a chance, he has a dirty style of pressing down and twisting with a guard that looks like a sword breaker.

Maru’s sensual swordsmanship was blocked at the source, and the sticky close combat was forced into an endless battle of stamina.

Creak creak.

As if they were only waiting for the moment when the balance is disturbed.

Hehe.

The guy who had been openly revealing that he was eating away at Maru’s stamina began to laugh slowly. After only a few minutes, the Ripper suit was soaking wet with sweat.

The praise came out of Maru’s mouth naturally.

[They fight so dirty and annoyingly.]

Hehehe.

The guy must have realized that it was high praise because he chuckled at a high pitch.

Why would you want to waste time playing it safe and exhaust your stamina like this?

‘Joseph Meyer finds time to do dog shit?’

What does Joseph Meyer spend his time doing?

‘Fuck, that’s obvious.’

A floor that focuses on Eclipse. There were rapid healing agents and neutralizers. I tried not to use them here because I thought the Imperial kids would go crazy if they saw them, but they were too dirty.

Maru took the gamble, ignoring the possibility of being stabbed with a stiletto.

‘Cry.’

Eclipse, who was able to draw out the vibration blade without having to feed it bullets, began to tremble in response to Maru’s mental power.

Woooooooooo-

Where Eclipse and Stiletto met, there was a squeaking sound of chainsaws and sparks flying. The thing seemed surprised by the movement that ignored defense and extended the stiletto in its right hand.

‘I’ve been waiting for you, kid. Get out!’

The murderous intent that had been tightly hidden from Maru was released with a deep sense of fear. The entire surrounding area froze in fear of death.

Gagagagagak-

The moment the guy who was cleverly blocking Maru’s sword stopped, Eclipse smoothly climbed over Stiletto’s guard. It was like a whip-like movement.

Kujijijijik-

The cloaking module of the Ripper suit he was wearing was shattered, and the helmet of the Ripper suit was split in half. In the moment of a comma second. A desperate will to live moved his body that had been hardened to live.

[Fuc···.]

The guy didn’t miss that moment and tried to fall back by sacrificing his left arm, but Maru’s blow was faster than him.

Eclipse’s helmet was shattered and he fell down, and he was split open as if he was trying to retreat with one leg pulled back.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A black solid line drawn vertically.

The bastard’s left arm waved in the air as if trying to block Maru’s blow. The corpse spread apart to the left and right as the arm waved.

Maru looked around for Joseph Meyer, not even glancing at the split corpse.

[Where is the King?]

[It looks like they’re fighting 1:1 over there.]

[still?]

[Not just one stroke?]

Naruz’s whispers filled the dedicated channel.

[But which side is the King on?]

[The skinny and small one over there is the enemy.]

[Oh. Is that holding up well?]

A few Naruze who had been blocking the entrance approached slowly under the pretense of reinforcing the floor. At that moment, a dizzying sensation enveloped Naruze.

Oh, so creepy.

So it was the fear of death.

Heeeeeeek-

Hueeeeeeet-

The match was decided in a chilling moment. The enemy’s stealth was broken and he was torn apart left and right.

[ah-]

[Awesome-]

Look at that beautiful swordsmanship. It’s so breathtaking.

[Why is my brother called my brother?]

[I know.]

[You fucking retard.]

Just as the dedicated channel for bokjak bokjak was about to get noisy, Maru’s voice was heard.

[Find Joseph Meyer. I don’t care if he’s dead, but I want his head intact.]

[yes-]

[four-]

[There are guys wearing ripper suits. Use the motion detection sensors well, and never fight them 1:1.]

[Okay-]

[Oraburning was worried about us.]

[Your Majesty.]

[If you cut off the seed, he will look at it.]

[Head. Head. Head.]

[Entering the reserve force.]

[OK. If you catch it quickly, there’s a reward.]

[It’s a vacation.]

The reserve forces waiting on the rooftop of the building began to storm in, shouting for a reward(?). The reserve forces were met with clone troopers pointing their guns at them.

[What the heck are you guys?]

[We are the Holy Kingdom Special Forces Naruz. Get out of the way.]

The Imperial clone trooper said to Naruzu, “Vicky.”

[Disarm and follow the controls.]

[what?]

What are these fucking idiots?

The Naruz Reserve Forces engage in a standoff with the Empire’s new clones.

Because they had built individual spaces using special bulletproof materials, the Imperial Council members and government officials were safe even when gunfire poured in from all directions.

Dan Brown saw lawmakers and officials struggling to get out, even though it was safe. Those who pounded the bulletproof wall with their bare fists when Joseph Meyer was in danger.

Boom! Boom! Kwaang!

Dan Brown felt a sense of misery as he struggled to get out, his fists torn and burst, bleeding profusely.

This was because most of those who called for liberal democracy and dictatorship were low-level cannibals. If they had been people who truly resisted dictatorship, it wouldn’t have been this miserable.

‘under—–.’

If he had really intended to be a dictator, he would not have felt this much of a difference. And more than anything, Dan Brown’s blood pressure was skyrocketing at the sight unfolding before his eyes.

The center of the empire. Those fighting in the Imperial Council Chamber were not from the empire. They were a mix of Confederate Virginia Langley staff and Holy Kingdom clones.

The landlord is cowering in the corner, and the guys from outside are ignoring him and turning the house upside down.

The sorrow turned into a hollow laughter.

The Great Hall This was the center of the empire. It was the center of politics, and a sacred space where the empire’s policies were decided. Even though this place was trampled, the empire was powerless.

You fought the Confederacy on equal footing in Seattle? The only forces you have to worry about in the Holy Kingdom are Vladimir Kalin and Yania Kim?

Pushshishishishishi-

The smoke screen obscured the grim reality.

Yeah, it turned out well.

Exhausted physically and mentally, Den Brown closed his eyes.

Then, to Den Brown, he heard the voice of Joseph Meyer.

“Humans are weak. People like you may keep your wits, but others do not.”

Joseph Meyer’s voice was as plain as day, without any strange aura or headache, but Dan Brown did not open his closed eyes.

It was just a disgrace. What was the reason for subduing the cannibals twice? It was because the very existence of the cannibals destroyed the social order that had been built up until then.

If the cannibals’ dominance were to influence humans, would voting be proper? If the cannibals’ followers increased and became a political force, would democracy still work?

Even cannibals were one thing, but vampires, with their psychic powers that were several times stronger, were a disaster in themselves. Democracy, cannibals, and vampires were incompatible.

So the Empire and the Confederacy were parallel.

“What is more important now? The survival of humanity? Or a sham democracy?”

“······.”

“As you saw earlier, the existing human race is very vulnerable to the dominance of the new human race. But if we wipe out all the new human races, do you think we can protect humanity? Do you think we can protect humanity with the one in a thousand awakened powers? Unless someone with the ability to control animals like the Holy Kingdom emerges, we can’t protect the citizens with technology alone.”

Look at the outer stronghold fortifications protecting the Newport News Shipyard, which have been neutralized. Even with just electrical and electronic capabilities or EMP, the machines are disabled.

“If you truly intend to protect humanity, excluding the new humans would be the same as committing suicide. Don’t you understand that?”

“······.”

Joseph Meyer continued talking to Den Brown, who did not respond.

“Now that the vertical structure of power has been broken, and the six states other than Texas are fighting over who will sit on top, the Confederacy is all but finished.”

“······.”

“If we try to reclaim the Confederate territory, we will see enormous sacrifices. The Confederacy is already a feudal state. There is no need to touch it, it cannot leave its territory, and it will not try to leave. But what about the Holy Kingdom?”

“Stop whining.”

“You and I both know that this is not bullshit. The Holy Kingdom holds the key to humanity’s survival. Not only because of the singularity, but also because of Vladimir Kalin.”

“······.”

Vladimir Kalin was the ideal new human being, neither greedy for blood nor influenced by psychic powers or dominance.

What this meant was that if we knew the secret of Vladimir Kalin’s mental barrier, we would have a foundation for true democracy.

Vladimir Kalin was the one who possessed the ability to deal with the psychic waves of the new humans and the aristocracy, and the method to deal with the psychic contamination.

“You know me, and I know you. Honestly, if the Empire continues like this, it will collapse. The idea of ​​the United States of America that you so desperately want to restore will also end.”

Wouldn’t this kind of internal strife repeat itself every time a noble or high-ranking newcomer who was pushed out of the Southern Alliance’s power struggle came to the Empire?

Does that mean we will be absorbed into the Holy Kingdom? That would erase the values ​​of the United States of America.

“so?”

“Be honest. Help me. No, save me. I will follow your orders.”

The Imperial Parliament building is already completely under Naruj’s control. It is even surrounded by thousands of drones.

Just in case, they secured an escape route, but even that escape route was completely discovered by drones, crows, and field mice.

So, there was a murderous intent to see it end here. It was clear that the ties to Joseph Meyer’s subordinates were being cut off one by one.

The connection kept disconnecting even though I told them to surrender if it was dangerous. That meant I wouldn’t accept their surrender.

“Huh- Will that Vladimir Kalin listen to me and spare Janelle?”

Joseph Meyer took out two small ampoules of injection, one red and one clear.

“One is an ampoule that can pass on my memories, and the other is an ampoule that can make you a member of the highest noble class.”

Joseph Meyer’s hand placed the ampoule in a small drawer.

“When you become the highest···.”

Crunch!

A bloodshot blade protruded from Joseph Meyer’s chest. Kushik- The blade, twisted at a 90-degree angle, pierced a hole in his heart and exited, drawing a long, solid line.

Crunch-
