RUST -785

The two-headed crow king realized why his men were falling so helplessly.

‘That’s him.’

‘It came.’

The right and left heads communicated telepathically.

‘Can you see it?’

‘I can’t see it.’

‘There is a certain area.’

‘I saw it.’

A zone of death measuring 20 to 25 meters in diameter was flying towards them.

The subordinates would die without warning if they got within that distance. Even the escort crows, of which there were only 11 out of 300,000, could not endure it and retreated.

The two escort crows, who had entered a little deeper into the strange space, seemed to hold out for a moment, but eventually fell.

‘Is this really death?’

‘That can’t be true.’

I remembered the crazy pigeon that escaped from Dongtan, cursing with its heart torn out, “Death is coming,” and “You will all die, too.”

He was no longer the leader of the crows.

The king who founded the Crow Kingdom, not the leader of the Crow Village.

As the king of crows, he could not be swayed by a single human who was rumored to be the god of death or the grim reaper.

KAAAH! (Cover!)

The right head displayed its ability. It seemed like a mixture of the psychic ability of the ability user and the dominance of a cannibal, and the crows around it began to think about where and how to go.

At the same time as the two-headed crow’s cry, a flock of crows swarmed into a circular area. In an instant, thousands of crows in the surrounding area rushed toward the falling floor.

It only took a few seconds for me to be pushed into the radius of life and die, but those few seconds of death began to pile up in an instant.

Feathers that fell from the helplessly falling crow fluttered across the floor area and stuck to the stealth robe.

‘Over there!’

The image that came to my right mind was a scene of crows passing by, after injuring each other, and then brushing past the falling area.

At the same time as he imagined it, the crows nearby swung their talons at each other. The wounds were chapped, and drops of blood spurted out every time they spread their wings.

The flock of crows, transformed into something like a mixture of black clouds and red fog, rushed in the direction where the floor was sinking.

Maru frowned when he saw those crows.

‘Feathers and drops of blood.’

I tried to penetrate the Raven King in one go with a combination of a stealth robe and a flying core body, but their resistance was fierce.

A flock of crows flew in spraying blood and fell down frozen in place after being hit by the killing blow. The weak ones died instantly, while the stronger ones fell down paralyzed from the waist down.

It would be natural to feel fear at the prospect of an imminent death, but the flock of crows rushed at us as if the emotion of fear had been ripped away.

It’s like this···.

‘Dominance? No. Psychic ability?’

It was similar to when he tried to kill a high-ranking cannibal in New York, with lower-ranking entities blocking his path as if they were giving up their lives.

‘The crow has gained dominance?’

The crow’s movements were too tactical to be seen as mere dominance. Thinking about it, a telepath came to mind.

Maru’s eyes, looking at the two-headed crow, became cold. Maru, who had completely abandoned the idea of ​​controlling the flock of crows by catching the leader of the crows, increased the output of the rocket engine.

The core gas, which had already begun to accelerate, quickly surpassed the speed of sound. A thunderous roar shook the atmosphere, and a dark red shadow shot out toward the two-headed crow.

Kaaaah! (Stop it!)

Crows began to swarm like angry bees, scattering in groups of thousands and tens of thousands to reduce the damage from the airship’s bombardment.

[Information from the stratospheric airship. They’re all converging here.]

[You’re gathering? Turn on the video.]

When seen from above, the flock of crows flying desperately looked like black snakes. Like a swarm of snakes swarming from all directions.

‘Are you asking me to kill you?’

Ms. Kim wasn’t the kind of woman who would just pass by a table full of food.

[Target front. Fire main gun!]

A railgun shell, white-hot by air friction, pierced the head of the snake made of crows.

thud-

Clouds of dust and debris soared several kilometers into the sky. The crows did not back down even under the terrible firepower of the railgun.

[Optical sight not available.]

[Laser sights cannot be used due to thick dust.]

[Tsk- Main gun stopped. Switch to secondary gun. Suppressive fire implemented.]

[Suppressing fire with a submachine gun.]

[firing!!!]

A shower of steel poured down from the sky.

‧

The Crow King’s judgment was correct.

The simplest way to attack a high-speed flying object, a man-made aircraft, is to ram it.

A bird strike (bird aircraft strike hazard) or bird strike was a method of clipping a human’s wings.

‘I see him.’

‘Death, what kind of death?’

The cover was broken by the drops of blood spilled by the dying subordinates.

From invisible death to visible enemy.

Kaaaah! (I see him!)

Caw! (Kill him!)

Two heads howled at the same time.

Once a clear target was visible, it became easier to control the subordinates and attack it. Even if the subordinates died before reaching the target, the momentum of the flight remained.

Kaaaak! (Charge!)

The Crow King was using his men like bullets.

Puck- puff puff puck-

A normal exosuit wouldn’t have been able to withstand the impact, but the core did.

‘You call yourself a king, but are you doing this by subjugating your subordinates?’

[Shield deployed.]

[Shield activated.]

yes-

A round, transparent film like a convex lens was created along with a strong sound wave.

While the normal core armor covered only the frontal upper body, the core body of the Maru was in the shape of a perfect sphere, like a round bubble.

The Raven King, who had been confident that he could block it with Bird Strike, was taken aback. If he had used a shield from the beginning, he would have been able to dodge it in advance.

‘Blood. Damage.’

‘Stop it. Stop it now.’

The left head moved the body and the right head harassed the subordinates.

Caw!

Caaaak!

The crows threw their whole bodies to block the way. However, when Maru turned Eclipse like a blender, they were instantly reduced to porridge.

The Crow King took advantage of that brief moment to escape. The core armor, which had been falling vertically, moved almost at a right angle and followed the Crow King.

The right head desperately gathered his subordinates, while the left head turned its head and opened its beak toward the floor.

Thump-

Maru twisted the body as if he was momentarily being tightened.

■■■■■■■■■■—-aaaaaaaa—

A powerful sound wave stabbed like an ice pick and then disappeared.

‘Sonic attack?’

As if he didn’t know that his left head would hit the floor, he opened his beak again.

▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮—

A circular sound wave spread out like a quilt and covered the floor.

Huh-

Unlike the sharp and pointed initial sound waves, the wide-spread sound waves shook Maru’s charge. The core armor’s defenses canceled out the sound waves, but the pursuit speed could not be helped but slowed down.

[chijijik- *fire gun**-chiik]

As the crows that had scattered in all directions began to gather, a biological EMP (electromagnetic pulse) effect was created.

Initially, the plan was to secure the Ulsan Crow, but Maru neatly gave up on it.

[Shoot.]

[Beep-**um. Beep]

My heart raced as Kim Yang answered.

Maru turned around just like that.

Heart pounding

Two-root-

Two—root—

A sight seen as time slows down.

A pillar of white light fell towards the two-headed crow that was running away in a panic.

One. Two. Three···.

More than ten pillars of light fell towards the two-headed crow.

In that fleeting moment, Maru could see.

At the same time that the left head opened its beak toward the pillar of light, the energy flowing out from the black piece the crow was holding mixed together.

Wooooow-

The sound waves emitted from the left head mixed with the energy flowing from the black debris, slightly deflecting the white-hot railgun bullets.

Kuuuuung—

The deflected railgun rounds blew up the ground. Railgun rounds continued to pour down, piercing through mushroom clouds that rose like small tactical nukes. The dust clouds that rose from the successive mass attacks overlapped and overlapped.

Maru quickly distanced himself and shouted.

[Cease fire! Cease fire!]

[Cheeeeeek— Beepeeeeeek-]

The assistant AI reported.

[Disconnected due to biological EMP effect.]

[Where is he?]

[Dense dust cloud renders motion detectors, biometric detectors, and infrared sensors inoperable.]

[······.]

Was he dead? With more than 10 railgun shots, it was impossible to even guarantee a spot on the ground. If it was one or two shots, it would be possible to dodge them somehow and deflect them with Eclipse, but 10 or so railgun shots coming at the same time…

‘···He must be dead.’

Because it wasn’t one or two, but more than ten railgun shots.

‘Could he be dead?’

The moment when ‘He died’ changed to ‘He must have died’, and ‘He must have died’ changed to ‘Did he die?’ Maru jumped into the dust pit.

The field of vision was not even 30cm ahead. All sensors were dead. There was no hope for support fire, but Maru’s intuition was screaming.

The guy is alive.

And somehow the Eclipse was vibrating, even though it wasn’t stopping bullets or absorbing shock.

Woohoo-

The vibrations of the Eclipse seemed to indicate direction. It was a strange sensation. It felt as if I could see my surroundings through the vibrations.

Maru felt a sense of discomfort at the unfamiliar sensation, but he focused on a greater ominous feeling. The instinct that he must not let go of the two-headed crow king grew stronger.

Huh- Huh-

The sharp sense of sharpness combined with the vibration of the eclipse, and a thick dusty area appeared in my head as if a radar was attached. A radius of about 15 to 20 meters was recognized at the same time.

And Maru started running following the guidance of Eclipse, which was pulling her in a certain direction as if she was being drawn by a magnet.

I ended up jumping over a large crater created by a railgun bombardment.

A semicircular space appeared.

—

A two-headed crow lay face down inside a circular space created by the vibrations of the Eclipse and the shielding of the core armor.

It looked haggard, with its wings broken, one leg broken, and feathers falling out here and there. But Maru wasn’t fooled by its appearance.

If you were truly exhausted, you wouldn’t have been able to deploy such a strange defense barrier.

Kkarddddddddddd-

As Maru placed Eclipse into the transparent semicircle, a circular space burst open with the sound of glass breaking. As the semicircle shattered, thick dust surged in.

The moment the left head of the two-headed crow, which had collapsed as if exhausted, opened its beak toward the floor as if nothing had happened, the stiletto was fired.

The Eclipse on the floor fell vertically towards the left head, which had canceled the sonic attack and bitten the stiletto.

Caw! (Stop!)

The crow’s thoughts echoed in Maru’s mind. The right head of the two-headed crow glared at Maru and shot out a powerful mental wave and dominance, but Eclipse, which was falling vertically, did not stop.

‘Uh. How?’

‘surrender!’

‘Save me!’

‘Please stop!’

A fleeting moment.

The thoughts of the two-headed crow pouring down began to lengthen.

‘This monster–‘

‘Lord. Die–‘

The left side of his head split vertically as he spat out the stiletto he had been biting with his beak and tried to shoot a sound wave.

The eclipse cut down from the left side of the head to the left wing and then broke vertically and hit the neck of the right side of the head.

Woooooooooooooo——

The two-headed crow’s legs, clutching the black fragments, flailed as if trying to do something, then slowly stopped.

And the deep greed that is conveyed in the eclipse.

Wooooow—

Woof woof woof woof—-

Maru put that Eclipse back into its scabbard.

?????????

Where the hell is this coming from?
