Arena, Alien hunting

He was a vigilante.

I led my team as fast as I could.

‘We don't have time. ’

If I am the leader of Lycans Rope, I will put an end to the rebellion in the village as soon as possible. It doesn't give the villagers time to prepare for a proper fight.

Fortunately, they won't attack the town anytime soon.

They'll think we're with the villagers.

He would act cautiously without being afraid of the power of our rifles.

The longer the fight, the better.

The more time we have to run.

‘Did the villagers notice we were running away? ’

If the bald chief was working well, he would have noticed.

But it's useless.

The dice have already been thrown, and they have no choice but to fight without us. Now, surrender does not guarantee the Lycans' forgiveness.

You get eaten when you get older.

Can we live with that fate? I am not confident in living such a miserable life without such a future.

That's how the villagers will feel.

All they needed was a fire to blow up the powder closet of his wool. Now it's exploded, and they're fighting terror.

It weighs heavily on my mind that hundreds of lives were lost because of me.

‘My eyes weren't wrong, either. Kim Hyun-ho, the examiner, is capable of that. ’

The word of a baby angel who suddenly touches the brain.

‘Every moment of judgment and execution was very bold and cold. What kind of an ordinary person can do like the investigator Kim Hyun-ho? Did you realize now that you're not just a person, that you're a very special person? ’

“Damn……. ”

I accidentally spit out the insult.

“What's going on? ”

Junho was surprised and asked. Hyesoo and Gangcheon were also looking at me.

“Everyone thinks I did something wrong? ”

I asked so.

“Is there any other way besides sacrificing the villagers? ”

“ ……. ”

I got used to the atmosphere.

“You were right. ”

It was natural to say that.

“The villagers may be weak, but they're not good. If you hadn't noticed the chief's conspiracy, it would have been obvious what happened to us. ”

“ ……. ”

“They tried to kill us in order to live. Since they prioritized survival over minimum pathways as human beings, we made the same judgment. If they had come to us as a favor, we wouldn't have made this choice. ”

“… would that be so? ”

“Yes, so don't bother anymore. ”

Joon-ho and Hye-soo said one thing.

“I think you were right, too. ”

“I didn't think you were wrong either. It's just..., this situation has been too harsh for me to make these decisions. ”

“I understand. I didn't make that decision because I like it. Come on, let's go. ”

I kept on moving. The team also followed.

He said that if they came to us as a favor, we wouldn't have made this choice either.

… really couldn't?

Even if they were good people, wouldn't I think about using them?

I can't be sure anymore.

I didn't know what I was, how testing was changing my mind.

The more time passes, the more tests you take, then you won't even have this kind of agony. You might get thirsty because your feelings are getting worn out.

Will I still be able to smile and see my family after I've become that human?

"I don't know."

Let's not think about this.

We have to live for now.

We walked without fail. We just walked without saying anything to each other.

Then, finally, tired comer said first.

“Take a break. ”

“Oh, sorry. Turns out he never rested. Are your feet okay?”

“There's no big problem, but the blistering is a little uncomfortable. Let me treat you for a moment. ”

“Yes."

We took a break.

Hye-soo took off her shoes and socks. Her tiny little paw was a mess because of the blistering.

Luckily, we had a very good cure. It was a healing potion given to us by the 19th Maintenance Team.

He opened the veil of the healing potion, poured it on his feet a little and applied it evenly like ointment. Surprisingly, the blister wound healed at a rapid rate.

I also looked at Junho with my eyes wide open.

“Wow, that really works. ”

“I see.”

I thought I could fix a big wound like that right away.

After healing all the wounds, Hye Soo put her socks and shoes back on.

I summoned Sylph.

“Sylph, I need recon. ”

Meow.

Silf flew away straight away.

However, Sylph came back earlier than usual, shouting sharply.

Meow!

We stood up in shock.

“Enemies?”

The silk nods quickly and draws a number with its whole body.

The number was' 1 ’.

“One? ”

Mmmm.

A silk that nods.

“Lycanelope?”

I was wondering if you might ask, but Sylph nodded again this time.

I can't believe there's only one chasing us. What the hell was he thinking? Are you forgetting that there are 13 Lycans dead to us?

“The distance?”

Sylph drew the number 272.

‘Good. One shot. ’

“Armed.”

The River Moshina appeared in my right hand. You unload the bullet you left in your pocket and give it to Sylph.

“Let's make it right. ”

Mmmm.

The shield nods straight into firing position and pulls the trigger.

Taang ―

Long-running gunfire.

“You got it?”

Silf shakes his head.

I was wondering.

Sylph shoots, and you can't catch him in one shot? Sylph wouldn't make a mistake.

“Keep shooting until you get him. ”

Mmmm.

Since then, Sylph has fired four rounds in a row.

Silf glances at me with an embarrassing face after shooting all five rounds of ammunition.

I gave you a clip of the five-shot gun.

The swiftly reloaded silk starts firing again.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.

Silf that keeps shooting.

You shot me like this, and you couldn't catch a single one?

I asked just in case.

“Does he have a shield or something? ”

Silf nods.

‘I knew it. ’

One of them escaped before as a shield to his comrade's corpse. It seemed to me that I chose a similar method after listening to the experience.

“Everyone get ready. Something's not right. ”

“Yes, brother. ”

“Got it.”

Junho Hyeo pulled out his weapon.

But it was then.

Mwah!

Silf screams furiously. It seems to warn you of something. When I was surprised by the sound, something flew quickly as a flash.

Shh-shh-shh-shh!

“Huff!”

A terrifying sound echoes through the terminal's groaning.

It was Junho's voice.

“Aaaaah! Junho! ”

The comet screams.

What the hell is going on? I looked back.

‘ ……?! ’

I was so surprised that I couldn't say anything.

An arrow was inserted into Junho's chest. Deep in the heart.

Junho was just dead without a pulse, his eyes wide open.

He was just dead.

Joon-ho was alive until just now.

“Silf! Block all incoming arrows! ”

Mwah!

Sylph answered.

But it was too late. Junho is already dead.

‘I wish I had known earlier! ’

I was angry with myself.

He uses a shield and has the intelligence equivalent of a human. If so, he should have thought that he might have used weapons.

Sylph grumbled too.

Why didn't you teach me that? Why didn't you just warn him and stop the arrow from flying at Junho?

It was the limit of spirits who were unable to speak and not actively do anything without orders.

Soon Junho's shield and javelin disappeared. Items were also destroyed when the owner died.

Meow.

Sylph warned me by Nazik.

Shhh...

The arrow that flies again.

This time, Silf fires a blade of wind and breaks the arrow.

Parker!

The arrow splits into pieces and splits into the ground. It was an arrow aiming at me.

“You must be the spirit master. ”

A heavy man's voice echoes from somewhere in the front.

Lycans Rope.

He kept telling me.

“Hoho, that's the weapon the spirit is holding. ”

“ ……. ”

“A long shape with a hole in it.... Maybe some kind of metal coming out of that hole? All we have to do is avoid the direction it's headed. ”

It was remarkable observation and judgment.

“Looks like there's only one weapon left. Then it's too easy. ”

“ ……. ”

“So do my Silver Clan, and the Lycans ignore humans too much. That's why we don't use man-made stuff very well. But if you use it well, it works very well. Like now.”

He was an unusual one.

I asked just in case.

“Are you the leader of Lycans Rope? ”

He answered.

“Yes.”

I knew it!

That discretion....

Flexible thinking that can utilize human goods.

He introduced 'livestock’ and increased the size of the Silver Clan by five times.

The conversation stopped there.

The target is hiding somewhere with no words, and we are just preparing for the next attack as well.

Shhh...

Flying arrows again. Each time, the silk proceeds to clear the arrow with a blade of wind.

There was something wrong with the Silver chieftain's non-aggressive attitude. It's like time is on your side, so there's no rush...

"Wait, time? ’

Time!

Then I realized the intention of the Silver chieftain.

He knew about the animosity. I knew very well that there was a time limit for summoning spirits.

Waiting for the Silf Summon Time to end!

“Sylph, where is he? ”

Silf points the front foot at one o'clock.

“The distance?”

This time I wrote the number 16 on the ground with my tail.

16 meters.

It's close.

Then it was best to attack him and watch the battle now. If we stalled, we would be disadvantaged with limited summoning time.

However, Sylph wrote the numbers back on the ground.

32.

Then erase the number and rewrite it.

59.

I asked surprised.

“Did he back off? ”

Mwah!

Silf nods.

I felt a chill.

The opposing Pokémon retreat far away from being attacked by a spirit.

The opponent clearly knows that the farther away the spirit is from the Summoner, the weaker its power becomes.

It was very clear that the intention was to wage a long war while maintaining a moderate distance.

If I send the Sylph back to save time, he'll come back and shoot the arrow.

I must summon Silf from time to time and spend the summon time.

‘The opponent is too smart. ’

My heart is pounding.

I was filled with fear.

How do we defeat a monster that's strong and smart?

I don't know how to beat this situation.

But first, we had to move.

“Let's go. We have to run. ”

“What about him?”

Kangcheongsung asked.

“You'll want to take your time in the long run. The more time passes, the more disadvantaged we become. We have to get out of the woods. ”

“I see.”

“Brother……. What about Junho... ”

Hye-soo asked, weeping.

Seeing Joonjo's dead body with an arrow in his chest, it breaks my heart. I think he's gonna wake up soon and call me "big brother."

“… let's go. I have to go.”

I walked ahead, and Hye-su cried and followed.

Kangcheon Castle walked backwards and watched backwards.
