Chapter 192

It was a cauldron of chaos on the bridge.
“Poisonous gas, don’t breathe it!”
“Where is the enemy, brief me as soon as you find it!”
“Steel is falling, stand down!”
Sudden terror. The aftermath of the ensuing explosion and the spreading, unidentifiable chemical gas. To add to the chaos, the chain of command is completely paralyzed with limited visibility.
“Samano, Ballive, get to the prisoner!”
The bailiffs were to escort the prisoner. They were organized in a single vehicle, meaning that Kushan’s location could be guessed by observing their movements.
“I guess the convoy wasn’t a dummy.
They didn’t seem to be hiding the prisoner in a police car with a bodyguard.
The check was done. Kim jumped straight into the smoke.
“Kolok, kolok, kolok, oh no, here…!”
Thump!
I rammed my shield lightly into the staggering cop. Most of them had already been neutralized without much effort. I picked off the ones I encountered, knocking them out one by one.
“-We’ve got one, please apply!”
Nearby, shouting continued. The gunfire was deafening. The sound of multiple people firing at the same time was deafening, but not enough to slow me down.
“Edwin must be doing a good job.
Once again, Edwin is playing a big role. The objective of this mission was to rescue. It was more important to have a solid aggro role than to have a huge Chapter to wipe out the enemy.
This made it easy to close the distance.
“This way!”
As soon as they left the gas zone, the police recognized the terrorist. The pistol, held with both hands, was aimed at Kim. A skillful grip and a quickly stabilizing aim. But there was a huge gap between them.
Differences in experience.
Then there’s the equipment sucker.
Bang, bang!
“Eek!”
A bullet fired while running hits the officer squarely in the hand. The back of his hand is pierced and he drops the gun. The same thing happened over and over again in less than three seconds.
I could have shot him, but I focused on neutralizing him. I told them to take them out if necessary, but I’m not willing to slaughter them indiscriminately. They were different in many ways from our previous enemies.
He’s not a criminal, he’s not a bum, he’s a good public servant. On the contrary, he is a threat to the security of the country. If you kill for nothing, your dreams will be fierce, and you’ll have a hard time cleaning up the mess.
‘I’m not going to get along with Shiran any time soon.’
You’ll have to make excuses to the other factions.
Toodoo-doo!
His grip remained steady even as the gunfire pounded against his shield. Using the stopped cars for cover, I erased as many exposed angles as possible.
The convoy was nearing its destination.
Boom!
– String, you’re about to turn the car.
“I’m watching. I’ll stop.”
– Okay. Once confirmed, we’ll move.
Kim removed his pistol and placed his shield in front of him. An assault rifle [Browning] was drawn in his empty hand, and he quickly assumed a firing stance and unloaded a generous amount of ammunition.
You’re making a U-turn when your tire blows out. I was too scared to stop, and a ghost jumped out from behind a nearby police car. I couldn’t believe how I had gotten this far.
As soon as he was in position, Kim formed a [Crocus] and threw it. The axe struck the side of the convoy. The axe was immediately picked up by Ghost and smashed through the tightly closed door.
With a bang, the door slides open. The vehicle containing Kushan and the enforcers was sprayed with sleeping gas. Meanwhile, Kim keeps the approaching enemies at bay with threatening fire.
“Kollok, you crazy bastards…!”
The bailiffs hurried out of the car. They had barely inhaled the gas. The escapees had given up, and each grabbed a weapon. They were no match for the police officers.
This is exactly what I wanted.
“Ghost, cover your ears.”
5-Star Secondary [Tuning Shock].
He threw the club into the convoy.
Woooooowwww-!
Sound waves echoed in all directions.
The duration of system chaos is 7 seconds. However, in real life, it doesn’t work like in the game. The effect is stronger if you’re right in front of it, and weaker if you’re far away.
The bailiffs, fresh out of their vehicles, have taken the brunt of the damage. His legs give out and he falls to the ground. Ghost was close by, but he recovered quickly, thanks to his deaf ears.
4 seconds.
Out of the confusion, Kim threw a smoke bomb.
6 seconds.
The Ghost recovered its stance and entered the convoy.
9 seconds.
A flashbang landed in the middle of the rising enforcers.
Boom!
Another binge. The combination of sleeping gas from the car and the fumes from the smoke makes visibility extremely limited. Kim shoots at [Ivory] without any particular aim.
Poof, boom!
A blind bullet strikes the steel plate of a car. The attacker can do nothing but cower. This confrontation won’t last long, but it’s enough to buy a few seconds of time.
“Damn, what’s going on…!”
“The enemy will not fall!”
“Leave that freak alone, we need to get the prisoner to…….”
It was a no-brainer.
Edwin withstood the barrage with his bare body.
Kim has almost single-handedly disrupted dozens of enemies,
– Hyun, we have found Kushan.
Ghost succeeds in rescuing Kushan.
“Okay, let’s get out of here.”
If the Enforcers rush in at the risk of taking damage, it’s a mess. At the very least, Kushan is likely to be injured or killed. He may have a body of fire, but he is not immortal, nor is he iron.
“I’m at my limit.
His head throbbed from the recoil of his many spells. It had been a matter of minutes, not hours, and he’d spent a lot of time crafting his special armor, something he’d never been able to do before.
Kim immediately began to retreat. The smoke was still thick. If it’s Kushan, Ghost will bring him back. Edwin doesn’t need to worry about him, he just needs to take care of himself.
It was the moment we stopped shooting.
One of the enforcers boldly broke through the smoke. A curved longsword, and a distinctive sharp look. Hong’an’s eyes were locked on Kim Yi Hyun.
“Laurentis.
It was a familiar face to Kim, too. A five-star agent from the Shiran Empire who joins the lab later in the game. As set up, he’s still disillusioned with his country at this point. He’s seen a glimpse of the dark side of Xuran. Experienced enforcers generally fall into two camps.
Disillusionment or fanaticism.
Laurentis was the former.
The bottom line is, it’s not even close.
“Are you happy with your life as an enforcer?”
Of course, the answer was not positive.
Pavabak!
Thorns fell from a sword wielded in the distance. Metal imbued with a powerful toxicity. He blocked it with his shield, and a recoil heavier than a baptism of bullets sent it into his hand.
It’s fast and heavy, but that’s about it.
Bang, bang, bang!
I unleashed my last [Ivory] round. Three shots in total. I thought I was out of ammunition, but I didn’t react quickly enough. Two of the shots were dodged, but the last one pierced Laurentis’s thigh.
“Bam, what the hell are you doing, go after them!”
Even as he berated his colleagues, his eyes remained fixed on Kim. He must have been perceived as a heinous terrorist, unrelated to the darkness of Shiran. It wasn’t a misunderstanding.
“We’re not going to get him.
We’ve decided to pretend we never had any agents from Shiran. It’s a shame, but it’s a small price to pay. The gains from skipping the Kushan rescue episode are far greater.
“There it is, stick close, don’t lose it!”
The bailiffs were in hot pursuit.
The momentum was strong, but the decision was a little late.
Kim Yi-hyun jumps off the railing of a bridge. The water beneath the bridge is nearing the depths. The wire of the [tactical hook] stretched out along his falling body.
Boom!
The river caught his fall. A hail of bullets followed, but it was a waste of ammunition and time. Kim remained underwater and began to make his way toward the rendezvous point.
“I’m tired.
Why I’m doing such a bad job.
I don’t understand the whole selling people thing.
* * *
The subsequent escape was cumbersome, but not fierce.
The Legion may have been robbed, but that’s only because of the variables at play. Previously, they were portrayed as vicious, bold, and manipulative.
The Legion’s grand plan included the overthrow of Shiran. An event that failed in the game, but also caused a lot of damage to the Xuran side. It was an episode that had a huge impact on the entire continent.
In other words, you don’t just dig a trench and call it a day.
The Legion had spent a lot of time on Shiran, and they’d built hideouts all over the place. The invasion of Shiran had been described in great detail, and Kim knew some of the locations.
Oh, and I had a lot of help from my collaborators.
“How did we get the head of the Celbrosix Labs!”
Konrad seemed to notice something was amiss, but it was too late.
“Then do you want to report it?”
“Pah, Pablo?”
“Are you going to report that a terrorist is here?”
Kim unmasked himself.
“Go ahead, but you won’t get away with it.”
Conrad Reimer, a hardware store owner, is also a fake. Even though he was deceived, he was a willing participant in terrorism. There are no extenuating circumstances.
Conrad’s complexion went white as he quickly understood.
“Let’s make nice and move on. With the Legion smashed, there’s nowhere else to go, so we’ll just go back to living the same old life in the middle of nowhere.”
“……What? Les, Legion?”
“You had to have guessed, didn’t you?”
The Legion was like a raging fire. Smoke billowed from their every move. If the organization was intact, news of them could be heard in the villages.
But I heard nothing. Contact had long since been lost. Conrad’s uneasiness was the reason he had welcomed Edwin so warmly.
Conrad swallowed the red pill and dropped his head heavily.
“That, that….”
“Just think of it as a hand wash.”
Kim patted Konrad on the shoulder. Of course, the naive spy’s future doesn’t look promising. The investigation will continue even after the team escapes.
But it’s none of your business.
“You’re so consistent.”
Kushan smirked. He’d returned to his lair looking more like a human, thanks to the repairs he’d made. The loss of health and deep fatigue would have to be dealt with later.
“Is that so? I think it’s changed a lot.”
“No, I had a similar impression when we first met. It’s just that the scale of what he’s naturally capable of has changed, but he’s still the same person.”
He continued.
“Like a knife to tie and untie, decisive, reluctant to lose, yet caring for those around him.”
It was a nice thing to hear in person.
He didn’t deny it, though, because he didn’t seem to be wrong.
Instead, it asked what I meant.
“I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying.”
“That’s something we’d better talk about when we have more time.”
“You need to work on that. That’s a shitty chapter.”
“I’m getting too old to change.”
Apart from that, there was an error this time. Contrary to the statement that it’s hard to change, I ended up bringing up the personal topic of age.
He wouldn’t talk about himself if he were dead.
A character whose nonchalant demeanor defaults, both in game and in real life.
“And, oh, I haven’t said this yet.”
Kushan smiled a wan smile for some reason.
“Thank you so much…….”
“Don’t do it, asshole.”
Kim Yi Hyun searched by spinal cord reflex.
There is no demand for a heartfelt thank you from Nam Jung Ne.
