344 Please take a look
A line is drawn across the world.
Kookwaang!
The moment the only remaining left leg and the X-shaped crossed white night collide, a wave of energy explodes around the point of impact, causing the ground to flip upside down.
The confrontation continues across the horizon that ripples like a tidal wave.
“That’s it!”
That’s when Thor fired his jetpack in reverse to gain the upper hand.
It presses forward with the momentum to break the midnight sun, while igniting not only the afterburner but also the boosters built into its entire body in reverse.
A body that is not easily damaged even though it contains single molecular elements.
It goes without saying that hexagon dice were partially used.
This is the driving force that makes the power struggle between the two possible. However, on the other hand, it also becomes the point that determines the direction of victory or defeat.
It was a close fight without any preparation for an archery range.
If you just destroy it, you can cut it in two at once.
The method is simple.
Frontal assault!
Chiiik―
As the steam flowing out between Gaon’s teeth thickens, the blade of Baekya glows red. Soon, the spirals that wrap around his entire body gather together and shine brighter once more.
In an instant, a crack appeared at the tip of Thor’s foot.
Gaon, who was trying to force a punch in the middle of it, sensed the change and lifted Ya upside down, holding it against his waist.
Kookwaang!
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous shock strikes. The result of Shirley, who had been observing the situation, not missing the opportunity for a surprise attack.
Moreover, the bullets she prepared were different from those used before.
15mm depleted uranium shell.
Depleted uranium is self-sharpening, which means that unlike lead and copper, the core is not warped, but rather cut away, maintaining its sharpness.
This soon leads to an increase in penetration power, and it becomes a medium that fully delivers the increased firepower due to Dextronium.
It was a force that far surpassed the concept of an individual, but Gaon didn’t even look and continued to cut down the flying bullets.
In white, Thor, in white, Shirley—
There was not a single flaw in Gaon’s operation, which took full advantage of the twin swords.
But, there weren’t two of them.
No matter how elaborately they coordinate, they are ultimately strangers. Understanding each other is a distant thing.
Gaon, who sensed that Matan had been fired again from afar, abandoned Baekya.
After a sharp clash, Thor smiled in satisfaction as his foot dug into Gaon’s abdomen. But it was a momentary joy.
Gaon grabbed Thor’s legs with his freed arms and turned them around.
To the point where the sniper is aiming.
bang!
In that moment, a magic bullet burns Aegis’s neck. Although he avoided instant death thanks to the reinforcement with the hexagon dice, it was inevitable that he would incur a wound.
Gaon didn’t ask for much either.
All it took was a gap for a finger to dig into, because the grip was comparable to that of a tool.
Damn.
Gaon, who forcibly separated Thor’s head from his body with incredible strength, began to run while carrying the ownerless body.
Thor wasn’t even on his mind to begin with.
The essence of proxy warfare is to take down the fighter.
In that respect, Thor was like a third party.
[Cheonrijongju Secret Book of Good Luck Flowing Water]
Gaon left the industrial complex and jumped into the forest of buildings, stepping on the outer wall of the building and jumping.
Whether surprised by the unexpected action or confused by the narrowing distance, Shirley’s resistance gradually increases.
Gaon frowned as he used Thor’s demigod as a shield to ward off the sniper’s attack. He had intended to take out Shirley in one fell swoop, but it seemed like things would go differently than originally planned.
The bullet that had clearly come from the front came in from the right this time.
Evidence that the sniping point is changing in real time.
There must have been some means of transportation.
That’s pretty fast too.
However, it was extremely difficult to secure this level of mobility in a bustling city with a large floating population, except for a few exceptions.
“!”
My head naturally rises to the sky.
Soon, Gaon could spot a whitish haze in the sky several kilometers away, a subtle outline that he would not have recognized if it weren’t for his superhuman eyesight.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve found the right one because of the sophisticated optical camouflage, but Shirley proved it herself.
By speaking without any hesitation.
In this case, there was no choice but to improve Shirley’s skills.
Flat ground and a rocking body.
It was a question of which side was easier to snipe from.
The difficulty levels themselves were completely different.
“I was wondering how you could handle the power of the electrochemical gun, but it turns out you have to carry it around.”
With the anti-material sniper rifle attached to the transport, it should be able to fire Dextronium without limit.
Shelly’s strength as a sniper wasn’t her 100% accuracy.
A mobile fortress that turns even the city into an open space.
It was only with that transport plane that the ghost of Matan was completed.
Besides, she could have held out if she wanted to.
Interception would require artillery fire, missiles, or equivalent measures.
As it happened, Gaon had a suitable ‘object’ in his hand.
Pushik―
Calls upon the power of development to generate bioelectricity, and flows it into Thor’s body, temporarily sending out a fake signal that makes it seem as if he has come back to life.
That’s when Aegis’s generator started operating.
Hold the ever-increasing Thor and step on the True Awakening.
[Arahan’s Third Awareness, Six Paths and Heaven]
Instead of a sword, he throws Thor with all his might. In an instant, he is caught in a hexagonal vortex and is shot down, stuck in the transport plane.
Boom!
Only then does the transport plane, which had been rocking back and forth, reveal its shape.
Sleek curves that emphasize maneuverability, and forward-swept wings that taper towards the end.
It was a flying machine that shared a similar style to Typhon, Alice’s favorite plane that I had seen some time ago.
I wish you would fall, but what you’ll fall with is only one wing.
The transport plane, which had been circling and maneuvering to evade, quickly regained its balance and disappeared from sight. It was regrettable, but we had to be satisfied with the fact that the twin-wing aircraft had been transformed into a wing-type aircraft.
Gaon left the scene, leaving the police running towards him behind.
* * *
Gaon, who had retrieved the White Night, set out to find the loot. There is no such thing as equipment produced without a source. It was obvious that if he followed the clues, he would encounter Shirley.
And so we arrived at a corner of District 27.
“Are you late?”
Perhaps because it was an area under the jurisdiction of the Miyauchi-gumi, the yakuza had already gathered and were making a fuss. I was wondering what to do, but it was funny to see a familiar face.
Aris, who met Gaon’s gaze, immediately grasped the situation, snickered, and shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him.
She bit the assistants and opened her mouth when she saw Gaon approaching.
“I didn’t know we’d meet again like this. Is this a gift for me, who likes surprise events? But it’s so big that I can’t bring it home.”
Gaon had no choice but to raise both hands and feet at Aris’s playful attitude of accepting it as if she knew nothing.
“Please take a look.”
“Haha, did I go a bit too far?”
Alice, covering her mouth with her delicate hand, changes the subject.
“So what’s going on this time? It looks like they’re trying to bring down a transport plane or something.”
Externally, the proxy war was a secret. But I felt like I could open up to Alice a little bit. It wasn’t because we had formed a close relationship.
‘Shirley Taylor, former Lieutenant Colonel, Martian Defense Forces.’
He was a capable soldier who was on the list of those to be drafted into the punitive force. Because of his special nature, it was difficult to obtain detailed information, but what about Aris?
“… …Shirley? How does Mr. Gaon know her name?”
“You seem to know something.”
“How could I not know? I was the one who recommended you to the disciplinary unit.”
Should I say that the world is really small? That was another unexpected fact.
“Then you must know why she was dishonorably discharged.”
“Roughly.”
The 105th Special Forces Brigade under the Space Operations Command, which specializes in dealing with alien species.
They were nicknamed the Incinerator Team because they were said to clean up the site of a disaster completely, leaving not a single speck of dust behind.
Shirley was the star shooter there.
She displayed exceptional skills to the point of being nicknamed ‘The Ghost of the Demon’, and it was not long before she became an object of awe.
Some even said that he was a future general.
But she could not fly high and fell miserably.
“… … It was a charge of civilian massacre.”
“It’s a crime that often occurs on the battlefield. Are you trying to catch a monster and end up becoming a monster yourself?”
“It might have been a happier ending.”
The incineration team was an elite force that was only deployed to colonies where the worst had occurred.
Of course, when a disaster of that scale occurs, it is difficult to distinguish between ordinary citizens and those involved.
Because of this, drastic means and methods were mobilized.
In a broad sense, they all committed massacres of civilians.
Yet the fact that only Shirley was blamed meant that someone within the unit had reported her.
The identity was revealed shortly thereafter.
“… …Because I killed my superior.”
It was all a check by her superior who was jealous of Shirley.
Aris, who realized the circumstances belatedly, tried to help, but it was meaningless. Regardless of the cause, there were actual deaths.
And that too in the form that the Martian Defense Forces most dislike.
It was only natural that Shirley would be dishonorably discharged with a large amount of debt.
“It’s a wonder he wasn’t tried by a military court.”
The Mars Defense Forces are not a group that can be considered normal.
“Because she has so many medals. I guess it’s recognition of her achievements.”
“That’s right.”
I think I know why Shirley went to the proxy war. It’s obvious what a disgraced soldier wants.
Truth finding and reinstatement.
But even if she were strong, there was no way she could win the fight that took place in the political and practical realms.
What is needed is power, not force.
In that respect, Mastop, who is good at manipulating public opinion, would have been the best partner.
“Poor kid.”
“Maybe so.”
But when you consider each and every situation, you can’t cut what you need to cut.
It is questionable whether the Shirley that Alice knows and the Shirley of today are the same person. However, Gaon did not say anything out loud about that idea.
“Thank you, it was helpful.”
