BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269: Heroine Chapter: Insolent bastards [2/2]
Unfortunately for them, Liv was there, and as long as she was, they would not be able to get through. Bella and Henry also covered her, while Alfonso and Josephine exterminated those around them.
From time to time I heard loud bangs coming from behind me. Their targets? Any Reapers foolish enough to attempt to command the battlefield. With {Limitless}, my enhanced vision allowed me to see the carnage Jasmine Denel was unleashing.
Even from this distance, panic and fear spread like wildfire.
"ARGGHH! HE\'S DEAD! Something shattered his forehead!"
"At this distance? How? What kind of bow are they using?! Is it a long-range {Fate}?"
"Shut up! Shielders! Get in front..."
"NO!!!! LEADER! FUCK...! The leader is dead!"
As expected from her immense intellect, Jasmine systematically assassinated the enemy commanders. Accustomed to fighting in large-scale wars, she alone had the greatest effect in this battle.
[Ishtar: Satis, why don\'t you assist your sister? Stop being rude and disrupting the front! You are deliberately sabotaging my chances for the date!]
[Satis: I have no idea what you are talking about.]
[Rhiannon: You slaggers run too fucking slow! I\'m charging!]
"[BATTERING RAM]!"
Robyn stepped out of our arrow formation and accelerated, a blue cone of energy manifesting in front of her as she moved like a speeding bullet.
[Ishtar: Inari! We are also charging!]
[Inari: Yes Ishtar-sama!]
"[BATTERING RAM]!" x2
When the hundreds of people in front of us saw the approach, they were still waiting for their leaders to give them instructions. Fear could be seen on their faces as everyone who tried to command the battle suddenly lost his head.
Suddenly, a line of shielders marched slowly forward. They were slow, but their tactics were similar to the Spartan phalanx.
[Minerva: This is the Priority 4 mercenary army, Sons of Mars. Be careful not to engage them in a melee. Sabel, take them out.]
[Rhiannon: Get stuffed Bella and do the Harry! They are mine!]
Robyn then took out four M26 grenades and coiled her arm.
"{HIKE}! {ASCEND}! FIRE IN YOUR HOLE!"
Like a cannon, Robyn\'s arm threw the grenades at breakneck speed. Less than a second later, the phalanx not only broke, but was completely obliterated. Lilly-sama also pulled out her M60 and began to gun down the survivors without mercy.
Needless to say, the bullets pierced the Wraiths as effectively as zombies.
"FUCK! GET DOWN!"
"WHAT DO WE DO?! WHAT CAN WE DO?!"
"EASY MARK MY ASS! THESE BITCHES ARE CRAZY!"
"AH FUCK IT! UNTAMED! I CHALLENGE YOU TO AN HONORABLE DU..."
"TOBY!!! FUUUUUUCCKKKK!! THIS IS HOPELESS! I am getting out of here!
"Game over, man! Run!"
Without the coordination of a leader, this group was nothing more than a disorganized mob. Their lines began to break as they split between those who wanted to stay and those who wanted to fight.
Robyn, who finally collided with the enemy, was like a bull in a china shop, there was no stopping her.
"CHANT COMPLETE! ARCANE PARTY! SPELLS OUT!"
"OH NO YOU DON\'T! {PORTAL}!"
Over twenty mages raised their staffs as they shot spells from their {Fates} at Robyn! But before the magical projectiles could hit her, orange portals positioned themselves between the combat joey and the magical projectiles.
Helplessly, the deadly spells entered the subspace and vanished into thin air. Lilly-sama and I were each aimed for the enemy formation\'s flanks.
"You can have this back! {Withdraw}! Like a comet, the Untamed collided with the right flank. The impact and force instantly pulverized those in the immediate vicinity. The kinetic energy slammed into anyone still standing like a thunderous sonic boom.
As if that were not enough, the dozens of spells that Lilly-sama had absorbed were thrown back and fell like rain! The ferocity of the spells decimated the rogue Wraiths. Lilly-sama\'s brutality was matched only by her efficiency.
Surrounded by enemies, Lilly-sama and Robyn made full use of their new weapons. Unlike when they only had swords, they no longer had to fight at close quarters. Now, they simply danced in a hailstorm of gunfire.
"I guess I can\'t fall behind. {Umbra}"
The impact area where I arrived also created shockwaves, but in contrast to the others. My side was afraid for a different reason.
"Dude! What the hell just happened?"
"Oy! Are you still alive, get up!"
Wordlessly, I pulled out the Ruger MK II and the MP5SD. I dashed to the back of their group and began to execute them with bullets to the head. With everyone\'s focus on the front, it took a while before anyone even noticed what I was doing.
"Fuck, what should we do, homes? Should we just run away?"
"..."
"Oy! Why are you ignori...Hiiii!"
Amidst the muffled gunfire, most of the people I killed were still standing. The eeriness of them falling dead at the slightest touch served my purpose.
"FUCK!! HE\'S DEAD! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
"Calm down you Idiot! Its an invisible enemy!"
"What?!"
"This guy\'s got a bullet hole in his ear! The sniper didn\'t do that!"
One by one, I shot the people and then ran away, due to the seemingly random places I attacked, I was able to execute nearly 40 people before they learned of my presence.
{Umbra} was a soulgear that granted invisibility. As long as no one recognized my existence, its power would not be revealed. Although my weapons were rather weak in terms of calibers, [Weak Point Targeting] made me extremely efficient.
Unfortunately, as more and more people died, my cover began to fade.
"Ah! There! A woman!" "Kill her!" "She\'s one of them!"
"Good evening everyone, I am Aki Miroku, you insolent bastards tried to hurt my master. Prepare to die!" I declared.
I holstered the Mk II and charged the Wraiths. Using the MP5SD in single fire made me inconspicuous. Even if they knew I was here, in such a large group, it would take time to find me.
I shot a person in the temple and then used his body as a shield and a weapon. The sleight of hand made them focus more on the bodies than myself. And for the Phantoms? With [Weakness Targeting], I just shot their Soulgems without a second thought.
9mm rounds made short work of the Wraiths. Using Judo and Aikido, I hid and fought in close quarters among the enemy. Fighting like that was too easy. Every time I squeezed the trigger I made a new corpse..
Manifested Phantoms usually treated their {Fates} like golden fingers. Even though they were not. As a result, everyone was too focused on using their powers to counter me.
Like a machine, I just repeated my actions. Kill-Vanish-Kill-Reload. Regardless of their screams, their pleas, or their curses, each kill made the battlefield quieter. Until less than ten minutes later, absolute silence dominated the receiving area.
