Episode 70

I also raised my shield and jumped down, shouting.

“Bomi! Jinman! Get rid of those guys on the hill.”

“Old story.”

Jinman stepped forward with his shield in hand, answering.

While blocking enemy bullets with a shield, he positioned himself so that Bomi could be in range.

Bomi stood behind Jinman’s shield and fired arrows at rapid speed.

Phishung! Phishung!

The soldiers fell after being hit by arrows.

Since my position was just above, I arrived at the hideout before the defense general.

By the time the defense general reached me, there was no more gunfire coming from the hill on the other side.

“Now we have to fight for real without any protection. Pointy!”

“Huh! It looks like I jumped out of the boat after catching some soldiers who were shooting guns. You can’t compare me to those retard soldiers. I’m a completely different race.”

The general of the defense took off his pointed helmet.

The revealed face of the guy was that of a shrimp.

It literally had a pointy head, red shell, and round, black eyes.

The little thorn-like things in his mouth kept wiggling.

Bomi shouted.

“Shrimp!”

“Shrimp. Crayfish. Lobster.”

“Lobster. Looks delicious.”

“This bitch is crazy.”

‘Pishung!’ With a gust of wind, something was stuck in the front shield.

Jinman flinched and took a step back, perhaps in shock.

This time I saw clearly what happened.

There was a hole in the side of the guy’s armor, and something like an awl shot out of it.

It seemed like the guy wasn’t just transformed into a lobster.

I thought it might be a more evolved form, or perhaps a complete transformation through crossbreeding.

Since Garbage Island is the origin of mermaid eggs, wouldn’t it have been easy to conduct various experiments?

If you persevere, you will win every battle.

First, we need to find out what kind of guy he is.

Well then, shall we start with a quick greeting?

I quickly took out my crossbow and fired an arrow.

Phishing!

With the sound of the wind, the arrow flew towards the pointed lobster.

visor!

Then an arm shot out from the guy’s side and shot an arrow.

“This guy uses his secret weapon so easily?”

“Why is this happening? You used it too. Pointy. But wow! You have so many arms. They look like Swiss Army knives.”

The carapace covering the guy’s sides seemed to open up, and three arms spread out on each side like the legs of a lobster.

The arms were shaped like typical crustacean legs, but unusually, the tips of the toes were each shaped differently.

Arms with sharp claw-like things sticking out, arms with two crossed blades like scissors, arms with saw blades, arms with knives.

An arm was also seen with something like an awl stuck in the hole.

Hmm. They shot something over there, a ‘secret stinger’ or something.

And the main arm, shall we say?

The arms extending from the shoulders had human hands, not lobster claws.

He drew out the swords he had on his waist with both hands.

“Oh, twin swords.”

I was smiling, but my eyes were busy trying to find the guy’s weakness.

With so many arms, it wouldn’t be easy to break through.

But I don’t think it will be easy to confront them head on.

Long-range attacks like arrows or guns would also have difficulty penetrating the armor.

Hmm, how do you cook that?

The eyes of the black glass bead-like guy circled around and looked at me and Jinman.

Soon, the bastard made up his mind and ran towards me.

Did you simply think that my shield would be small and easy?

Then we must show the power of the shield.

He swung his shield to block the two swords that were coming at him.

“Haha! Try blocking the consecutive attacks.”

As if he had known this would happen, the arms at his side continued to thrust in through the empty space left by the swinging twin swords.

“You don’t seem to know that every Swiss Army knife has its own purpose. If you use it wrong, it can be ruined.”

I slashed down with my shield at the thin, sharp blade that was aimed at my chest, like a fencing sword.

Snap! The awl broke right off.

Then, as he pushed the shield forward, it looked like he was holding out his fist at the scissor arm that was coming in to cut him.

The scissors at the end of the arm were stretched beyond their limits and torn apart.

Perhaps because the evolution focused only on the number of arms, the durability of the weapons at the end of the arms seemed weaker than it looked.

The guy also seemed embarrassed and stepped back.

“This guy is doing something.”

“Let me do something.”

I didn’t miss my chance and rushed at the guy.

The guy tried to fight back, but this time he got one of his arms blown off in the side.

The guy started to run away, wondering if it was okay.

And either because he found running cumbersome or because he wanted to shed some weight to increase his speed, he dropped his arms by his sides like a lizard cutting off its tail.

It was strange to see my arm fall off, but I didn’t have time to worry about it.

The guy who was running away suddenly turned around and swung his twin swords.

It felt a little early, but I expected a counterattack, so I leisurely raised my shield and blocked it.

Just then, something popped up from the floor.

I dodged it quickly, but because it was such a sudden attack, I ended up getting hit in the elbow.

Fortunately, he avoided the vital spot, but the impact caused him to lose his shield.

“You’ve fallen into my trap. This is the decision to give flesh in exchange for bones, no, give an arm in exchange for a shield. Haha! Now you’re finished.”

What hit my elbow was the guy’s arm that he dropped as he ran away.

His arm shot up like a rocket punch.

Pointy lobster guy! You’ve got a lot of tricks.

The rocket punch was disposable, and no longer moved.

The pointed lobster swung its twin swords.

I raised my three-pronged spear and aimed for the guy’s right arm.

Since the spear was a bit longer, the guy had no choice but to retrieve his sword.

Otherwise, your own arm will be stabbed before you can stab me.

But this time the guy showed off his tricks again.

He swung his sword at me without avoiding it.

This kid loves giving flesh and receiving bones too much.

Like a real rocket punch, can you retrieve the arm and recycle it?

I slightly changed the direction of the spear and aimed for the wrist instead of the arm.

It was slightly slowed down by the orbital correction, but it hit the guy’s wrist accurately.

The man’s hand snapped back, and the knife fell to the floor.

If I had been just a little bit late, the knife would have pierced my heart.

“iced coffee!”

The guy screamed in pain from his main arm, but he didn’t slow down his attack.

He swung the sword in his other hand and cut the spear.

Although he seemed a bit sloppy because he used a lot of useless tricks, he was quite strong and agile.

“It’s really over now.”

As the guy said, all I had in my hand was a broken spear.

This spear won’t even be able to pierce his armor, much less deal with a sword.

Phishing!

At that moment, something passed by my ears so quickly that it made my ears ring.

The pointed lobster hurriedly raised its empty hands.

An arrow was stuck in his arm, which already had a punctured wrist.

“Ahh! F*ck! Let’s have a real showdown without the protection squad!”

The guy screamed and threw a tantrum.

Since it was an arm that couldn’t be used anyway, it was a pretty wise choice to block it with a discard pile.

But unlike the arms on my side, it hurt quite a bit because the nerves were connected.

As I did that, I suddenly had an opening in my mind.

I feel like I could just stab an empty chest and end it.

But since it’s armor, a crossbow won’t work.

Is there anything that can pierce the upper shell?

I searched through the pockets of my tool belt.

I caught something in my hand.

I could feel the sharpness of the blade along with a cool feeling at my fingertips.

Without even having time to think about what I was holding in my hand, I instinctively pulled it out.

He then stabbed it into the guy’s chest.

The moment it touched my chest, I felt a strong resistance, as if I was stabbing chopsticks into an iron plate.

A thought crossed my mind that something was wrong.

Then the object in his hand appeared.

What the heck! It’s a fork trident.

Were you really planning on eating lobster?

The pointed lobster rolled its eyes and looked down, as if it felt something strange in its chest area.

“You! What are you doing with a fork?”

I don’t know anything about lobster facial expressions, but it definitely had a look of bewilderment.

The guy raised his sword.

I tried to pull my hand away to avoid it.

Oh! But why is it like this!

It was stuck in the upper shell like a trident fork.

I tried to force it, but it wouldn’t come out, as if something was caught inside.

“iced coffee!”

As I twisted the trident fork, the guy screamed as if he felt pain.

“No, how.”

This time I couldn’t read the lobster’s expression, but I could tell that the look on its face was one of surprise.

The guy must have felt a sense of urgency because he quickly tried to bring down his sword.

At that moment, Bomi noticed my danger and fired an arrow.

Phishing!

This time, the guy blocked the arrow with the hand that wasn’t holding his sword.

It must have hurt quite a bit, but this time I tried to strike the sword all the way down without even groaning.

That’s how desperate the guy was.

I, too, was anxious.

Should I put down the trident fork and back away, or should I try to do something with the trident fork?

But there was too little time to do anything.

Reason told me to avoid it immediately, but somehow my intuition told me that it was possible.

In particular, I felt a hot energy from the ring on the hand holding the trident fork.

The heat of the ring gripped the trident fork tightly, regardless of my will.

There was no way now.

Following the heat, I pushed the fork with all my might.

I felt something snap in my hand, and the fork was pushed in.

The wind I felt in my head disappeared.

I couldn’t even raise my head, so I just rolled my eyes and looked up.

I saw a sword stopped just above my head.

I let out a sigh, “Whew~” without realizing it.

Then, the pointed lobster, which had been frozen as if it were ice, fell backwards with a thud.
