RUST [RUST]-829

Perfume-

It wasn’t a cutting sound, it was more like something was biting.

Kujik-

The white blade, which was shorter than my forearm, too long to be a dagger, but too oddly shaped to be a machete, was making a strange sound.

Turup-

The sight of a body with its head gone and a strange sound moving about by inertia and then collapsing was an unusual sight.

Despite losing its head, the body struggled without dying right away, perhaps due to the cannibal’s unique vitality. Heuk- Maru approached the one that turned around and ran away, perhaps because there were already three headless corpses.

Unlike the three people a moment ago, the guy who had recently become a cannibal was running away in a panic as if he were a normal person. The moment I stabbed Nuclips at the guy’s back, the blade that flapped like a live fish bit into his head instead of his back.

Kwajik-

“This kid-”

As if asking when he had ever been flapping his wings. As if he had never eaten a cannibal’s head. Maru glared at Newclips, who was standing stiffly with a dignified appearance like a white ornament.

When I tried to stab its neck, it moved slightly and started to erase its head. So this time, even though I was definitely aiming for its back, Newclips moved like a fish and chewed the cannibal’s head.

“Why are you being such a jerk?”

No matter how powerful the weapon was, it couldn’t be used in this situation. A murderous spirit rose from Maru’s body as he held the Nuclips.

Newclips resists the terrible murderous intent that rises up the handle of the sword, saying, “I don’t know anything,” and “I’m just a sword.”

During the Eclipse era, he became stubborn after being hit once, but it seemed to be holding on after being upgraded to the New Eclipse.

‘Are we really going to go all the way?’

The killing intent of Maru, who had fixed the Newclips, grew stronger. The aura of death that had increased significantly after attacking the ant empire began to spread out.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

And the cannibals who were running towards him, desperately leading their men, were defeated.

“I…”

A woman suddenly fell over after having her throat suddenly blocked. At first, she felt a chill as her throat was blocked, but then she was caught up in the sudden surge of death energy.

“What. What. What-”

It was only a step difference, but my body froze. Unable to overcome inertia, my frozen body lurched forward and entered the thick range of murderous intent.

Ugh-

Ugh-

Huh-

The subordinates who followed her were all lying face down, stiff as a fish.

Eeeeek-

I desperately tried to release the unidentified power, but it was no use.

Khuu …

Hoohoohoooooooooooooo

The men were not only unable to move their bodies, but their lungs were so stiff that they could not breathe properly.

Unable to breathe, all that was left was to slowly suffocate. It was an absurd situation for a new human race to exist in the world and then suffocate.

Such an absurd thing was unfolding before her eyes. The weakest subordinate suffocated and lost consciousness, and as one began to faint, all of them began to lose consciousness as if ink was spreading.

“I. I. I.”

She desperately tried to force her subordinates to move, but the murderous intent was so strong that her forced orders did not work.

What if the unidentified entity that caused this phenomenon now approaches?

It was just a dog’s death.

It was truly meaningless to die helplessly, without even knowing why I was dying or why I was doing this.

‘What on earth is this phenomenon?’

‘By any chance. Is it power?’

It was as if… it was a power similar to her master’s.

The power of the Count who killed his servant who was thinking of something else with just one look.

That was also a power that worked on the servants, it was not possible to neutralize an enemy that was not related to her in this way. She could not even see who the enemy was.

The ties connecting them to their subordinates had been severed, and now they were suddenly finished like this. The new species had strong mental resistance. So it was difficult to see the current phenomenon as a simple mental ability.

“What the hell is this?”

She struggled desperately. It seemed to work, as her stiff body began to loosen up, starting with her internal organs. But fate did not wait for her.

[Everyone’s still alive? If you keep causing trouble this time, you’re finished.]

The hidden Maru approached, holding the Newclips.

The woman sensed the approach of the hidden being with her cannibalistic instincts.

‘It’s hiding.’

Worst case scenario.

As she lay there, unable to do anything, and on the verge of death, the woman who was desperately struggling felt something breaking in her mind. And then suddenly, her body moved.

She suddenly got up and started running without looking back. She abandoned her subordinate who had lost consciousness and ran without fail.

Her senses, heightened as if something had broken through the limit, sensed death lurking behind her. Bababak- She jumped with all her might, and the sight of a white blade chewing through space passed by.

BINGLE- She twisted her body in the air and landed, drawing her knife and pistol and aiming. BANG-TA-BANG- Three shots. Chest. Head. Head.- Three more shots- Chest. Head. Chest. And two shots to the chest. Center-

The Desert Eagle .50 AE 7+1 magazine was instantly zeroed out. If it had hit, it would have broken the stealth, but there was nothing.

‘It wasn’t right?’

Not even one step?

The woman held the empty gun out in front of her and used it as a shield, taking a stabbing stance with the knife in her right hand ready to thrust at her at any moment.

And then her left hand disappeared.

?

Kkeuk-

The left arm was suddenly torn off, as if it had been eaten by some huge beast.

!

The upper part of her arm disappeared as if the jaws of an invisible beast had swallowed it, but she thrust the knife in her right hand into the space where her left arm had been swallowed.

Sparks flew as the ominous black knife stabbed at nothing. As if space had been distorted, a white blade suddenly shot out and swept away her black knife.

Kagagagagagak!

Sparks flying as she was pushed to the side. She swung her severed left hand towards the head of an unseen enemy. As the blood spurted from her severed arm into the air, a red-tinted human figure appeared.

The moment she twisted her knife towards the red marked target, the white blade blocking her knife moved like a living creature.

Flutter-

A raw movement, like a fish jumping. A white blade that leaped up like a carp jumping aimed for her head. She felt death at that unconventional movement.

“This kid is real!”

Maru was furious at Newclips’ antics.

The white blade that had been pointed at the woman’s head was pulled back as if its tail had been caught, and the space in front of her nose was swallowed up.

Thump- thump- thump- The blade that had bitten her three times in front of her eyes was cruelly dragged backwards. She did not miss that moment and put strength into her severed left hand, spraying blood.

Blood droplets spread out in fine droplets as if sprayed with a sprayer, causing the blocked blood vessels to burst due to the cannibal’s unique regenerative power.

She fled during the gap, spraying blood drops like fog. For some reason, the white blade seemed like a living creature.

Did you only walk three steps?

!!!

A hot pain shot through her knee joints. A long, stabbing blade thrust forward from behind.

It was a stiletto.

To pull out the stiletto, I had to put down the knife in my right hand. The fact that there was still no movement meant that there was time to pull it out.

She quickly put the knife in her mouth and tried to pull out the stiletto that had pierced her knee joint with her right hand, but the stiletto flew at her again and pierced her right hand as well.

Phew-

Phew- puck-

As the three stilettos flew in an instant and pierced her right arm, leg, and left ankle, she realized.

‘There is no escape.’

She accepted death. Deep resignation and death ran through the strings toward her master. After a while, the woman’s master gave the order.

[Leave no trace.]

The woman’s eyes become blurry as if she has lost her senses at the command directly transmitted to her mind, and the moment she tries to activate the device hidden in her molars.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A red line was drawn on the lower part of the nose, roughly in the middle of the philtrum. Crack- The woman’s head split into upper and lower parts as if another mouth was opening.

‧

Refugees who had been gathering weapons and food inside the camp where the Imperial Rangers had been annihilated swarmed like bees as the airship descended from the sky.

“It’s an airship.”

“It’s an airship!”

“Please burn it!”

“I have a child!”

In an instant, the refugees surrounding the Maru airship began to scream.

“FUCK! Get out of the way!”

“Over there- get out of the way!”

bang!

Tada dadadang!

Refugees screamed and fell to the ground as gunshots rang out one after another. Among them, people raised their guns to the sky in triumph and shouted.

“Everyone, get out of the way!”

“Get back!”

The men who had taken up arms pushed the refugees back and approached the airship.

“Hey. Open the door.”

“If you don’t open it, I’ll shoot you!”

[Warning: Put down your firearm and step back.]

[I warn you again. This ship is the personal airship of His Majesty the King of the Holy Kingdom. Put down your weapons and stand back.]

“What is this?”

“Was this the Holy Kingdom King’s Airship?”

“Why did it land here?”

“Hey. Let’s get out.”

“Why? If that’s really the King’s personal plane, then that human is nearby.”

“So let’s get out of here. Haven’t you seen the video? The strongest king in the Holy Kingdom.”

“You idiot, do you believe that?”

“Do you believe that the King himself goes out and kills mutant monsters and cannibals?”

“It’s propaganda. And even if it’s true, how many armed people are there?”

“What about the dead cannibals in the tent? What about the corpses of the Imperial Rangers?”

“They must have planned a double-cross among themselves.”

“Yes. There’s no reason for the King of the Holy Kingdom to come here and swing his sword.”

“What caused us to faint?”

“what?”

“How do you explain everyone passing out?”

It wasn’t just a simple fainting. I couldn’t stand the fear of dying. I still felt the terrible fear of having peed myself halfway through.

When you see people convulsing around the airship, it looks like their brains are in shock and they can’t make proper judgments.

“What if this is the real Holy Kingdom King’s Airship?”

“You are trying to hijack the Holy Kingdom airship by pointing your guns at it.”

“Do you want to die that much? If you want to die, then die among yourselves. We’re going.”

So a group of people broke away.

“Don’t run away without turning your tail.”

“But are you really going to shoot?”

“Are you crazy? What are you going to do by putting a bullet hole in an airship?”

“Then what should I do?”

“You have to wait.”

“Wait?”

“The King of the Holy Kingdom will come, and if it’s not the King, the guards or whatever, the people of the Holy Kingdom will come.”

“so?”

“So what? You should ask those people to go with you.”

“Will it work?”

“Then think about it the other way around. What does the Holy Kingdom gain by fighting refugees who are begging for their life?”

“Ah. I don’t know.”

If I had known this would happen, I would have supported the Holy Kingdom from the beginning. Seeing how the Imperial Rangers managed the refugees, it was obvious that I would be treated coldly even if I entered the Empire.

“Let’s make people step back and say we’ve protected them from themselves.”

“good.”

The assistant AI reported to Maru in no uncertain terms what the humans were doing surrounding the airship.

(Looking at what the Rangers are doing, it doesn’t look like there’s anything good to come from going to the Empire, so let’s just wait here.)

(Yeah. I’d rather have the Holy Kingdom.)

(What if the Holy Kingdom doesn’t accept it?)

(Why won’t you accept it?)

(They could use us to spread propaganda that the Free Canadian League is rotten.)

(There’s no reason not to take it)

Maru clicked his tongue slightly as he saw the image appearing on the HUD (head-up display).

It was just that the airship’s AI assistant landed with the stealth function activated.

‘Even if refugees are not threatened···.’

Maru placed the woman’s head, with the upper part of her nose cut off, into a container and finished off the stiff cannibals.

Tsk-

Maru, clicking his tongue slightly, headed towards where the airship had landed.

Thud thud-

As Maru approached, revealing his Ripper suit, his blood from the cannibal spurting out and his stealth function turned on, all the refugees’ eyes turned to Maru.

A crowd of people, probably numbering at least a thousand, surrounded the airship.

“Excuse me. Are you the Holy Kingdom Army?”

“Please, my wife hurt her leg.”

“Please burn it!”

“I want to go to the Holy Kingdom.”

As soon as one person shouted, the refugees started screaming. Instead of answering, Maru let out a faint murderous aura.

!!!

The life energy spread out in concentric circles around the floor, like a drop of water falling on a calm lake.

Choices come with responsibilities.

A sleek airship made of white marble flew silently across the sky, leaving the unconscious refugees behind.
