Arena, Alien hunting

“If hazing is smart, we should cease operations and regroup. ”

On the way back to the harbor, Cha Ji-hye said.

I nodded.

“That's how much damage I just took. If you want to avoid more damage, you're right to stop the operation. ”

“But in his character, it's unlikely. ”

Cha Ji-hye explained.

“The original attack was also to defeat Bilmi, who was reprimanded for her failures. Perhaps, the reclaimer put intentional pressure on it. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Funnily enough, Richang is counting on me.

Did he have faith in me the last time he faced me?

It was an anticipated move that would put me in trouble for hazing.

“Nevertheless, I don't have time to give hazing any regard. This way, we need to focus on getting rid of the pirates as thoroughly as possible. We'd better not let the hazing go alive, if possible. ”

“Yes.”

Vincent quietly rows as we speak.

And finally, the harbor dock caught my eye.

“Almost there! ”

Vincent shouts in a cheerful voice.

“Waaaah!”

“Here I am!”

“Mr Vincent! ”

You hear a shout from the lighthouse. The fishermen gather at the lighthouse, waving their hands and cheering.

He seemed happy to see us back in one piece.

Sailboat has arrived at the dock.

Soldiers guarding the wharf were pillaged.

And a middle-aged man walks among soldiers with officers.

He was the commander of the regiment.

Unlike usual, he looked at others because his uniform and head were so clean.

“Welcome.”

“Yes.”

“Glad you didn't hurt yourself. What happened to you? ”

“Nine out of 32 pirate ships have been destroyed. ”

Nine?

Yesterday, the battalion commander's eyes opened wide.

“Is that true? ”

“Would I lie? ”

“Commander! I saw it with my own eyes. You're not going to ignore my eyes because I'm old, are you? ”

Vincent stepped up and said,

The regimental commander nods.

“How can I ignore the eyes of God? Tell me how it was.”

“That was amazing! Every time one of those long, weird weapons of yours bursts into flames, one of their masts snaps, and eventually the boat tilts down and sinks. ”

Vincent gets excited and explains the fight he saw.

“My sailboats have moved on by the power of spirits, and I've never seen anything more amazing in my life! ”

Vincent pointed at me and spoke in an excited tone.

“He fought the hazing, too! ”

“You mean the pirate gun hazing?! ”

“Yes! The hazing man flew overboard, and he flew across the sky to fight hazing. I'm fighting back and forth between heaven and the sea...! ”

As Vincent talks, the face of the regimental commander and the soldiers suddenly glows with wonder.

And the way he looked at me began to show more respect.

Suddenly, the regiment commander grabbed my hand.

“I'm so impressed! I can't believe you did what this country couldn't do! You're a hero!”

“You're welcome.”

“Their strength must have been severely compromised. They know that there are heroes like you in this harbor. ”

“Well, I'm sure there's been a lot of fraud. He was so confused he couldn't clean it up. ”

Rescue the pirates who were on the sunken ship, repair the collapsed formations, and more.

“We can't be too careless. Though devastated, the pirates do not give up their attacks. ”

The regimental commander agreed with me.

“Of course, vigilance is forbidden. We will defeat them today and never let them near this port again. ”

So am I.

Somehow things didn't go the way Richang wanted them to, but it must have been a good opportunity.

A chance to mass-produce Karma by killing a corrupt examiner in the middle of a battle.

I killed five men in that fight, but it's all for the best.

* * *

Under the command of the regiment commander, everyone has entered combat preparations.

I decided to take the shot, perched on a hill overlooking the harbor alone.

Then I guess we'll just have to kill the corrupt examiner and see how much Karma we get.

“Summon Lithograph. ”

Name: Hyunho Kim

Class: 33

Karma: +16,500

Mission: Stop the Pirate Invasion

Time limit: unlimited

"Wow!"

I was eager to cheer. 16,500 Carma!

It was a result of that one battle.

Negative Karma seemed to be a lot of evil-doers who also work as pirates and cooperate with the Black Wizard organization.

So if we kill Hazing, the leader of the pirates, how much more karma can we get?

That made me more motivated than I thought.

"Am I like them in some way? ’

They hurt people, they get what's coming to them, and I kill them, and I get Karma.

Now I feel like I've been hit by a big gun and a part of my body just flew away.

Rather, I just felt the joy of being shot in the same room.

“Armed, AW50F. ”

I summoned the AW50F and put it to the ground to shoot it down.

They're the bad guys anyway.

What's so bad about killing people to make a profit?

…… that idea is getting inside my head.

I suddenly have doubts.

How many people want this world to be completely cleared?

The capitalists and politicians who invested heavily in the Arena-related industry would not want to be able to gain more leverage.

China's trials are the most blatant, and in fact, almost every agency in the country feels the same way.

But is that an investor's idea?

I felt that many of the investigators might not want to be cleared.

Testing has allowed you to gain powerful power and earn high income.

Test subject!

It gives them pride in being special and chosen, unlike others.

What if I had to complete all the tests and not take them anymore?

And what if all the skills from the test are gone?

I go back to the way I was.

I was helpless when I hung on to the civil service exam.

Not as important to everyone as they are now.

You think you can handle that?

Money is not the problem.

That is what fear is in the minds of the investigators.

Maybe the corrupt investigators now chose that path because they were afraid of it.

‘I don't know if I'm capable of such wisdom. ’

I don't know what Cha Ji-hye thought before she was a principal tester.

But I'm afraid of the past. I'm afraid I'll go back to that time.

Nevertheless, I will complete the test.

Lee Hye-soo.

Lee Junho.

Gangcheon Castle.

My colleagues who died in the third round. How long did they want to live?

I've secured their lives.

With that in mind, there can be no objective other than achieving the final goal of the test.

How long has it been?

Ding-Ding-

A rattling bell echoes through the port of Deport.

You can see the pirate fleet emerging from a distance from the shoreline.

The five pirate vessels in the front row were surrounded by defensive magic, followed by the rest of the pirate ships.

It appeared to be a formation that corresponded to my sniper. They wore their own heads.

"You can't. ’

I've decided to give up my pursuit of the pirate ship mast.

Watching more of the fight, he decided to shoot as soon as the strongman showed up. The pirate strongman is most likely a corrupt investigator.

Both sides start a fight.

The pirates jumped out of the boat and tried to land.

Soldiers blocking all entry routes from the sea, including the wharf, begin pouring arrows.

The pirates who were killed by the arrows are drawn out.

The pirates' random attempt to land was somewhat swarming.

I felt a bewilderment among the pirates.

‘I see. I didn't think there would be this resistance in Port Depot. ’

With the help of one group of Admiral Asshel and his regimental commander Decker, you've been almost entirely devoid of bloodshed.

It was a shocking job for the pirates who didn't know their deaths yet.

As the pirates' landing slows down with fierce arrows, the soldiers shout whether the regimental commander gave the order or not.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Whoa!! ”

“Bring it on! ”

It sounds like you've already won. The commander seems to have held a psychological battle against the pirates.

Anyway, it was a good start.

The pirates used their heads to try to land only five of the leading men with defensive spells first.

After landing, other ships appear to be attempting to land by using defensive spells again.

‘Looks like there are about five wizards. ’

It was a measure to prevent my ship from getting damaged by sniper fire, but the operation was largely blind.

With only five troops attempted to land at a time without deploying at once, the Port Guard's concentrated palace collapses without a hitch.

Henceforth, the pirates must have decided to do the same.

All pirate ships behind you begin to approach the shore.

‘That's what I was waiting for. ’

I've pulled the trigger, aiming for a pirate ship that's not surrounded by defensive magic.

Ta-ang ―

The gunfire echoes out loud, as you do not have Silf soundproof.

The forward mast of a pirate ship collapses to the left.

Ta-a-a-ang!

The rear mast was then broken.

A tilted pirate ship that could not reach the hull collided with another pirate ship beside it.

“Waaaah!”

The harbor guard shouts once again.

Ta-ang! Ta-ang!

I continued shooting.

Two more were broken in the same way.

Of course, the pirates did not stand still.

Pirates from the ship pour down on the food and start climbing ashore like ants.

The harbor guards struggled with the arrows, but the pirates eventually landed and clashed with the soldiers.

Soldiers hovering in front of you with shields and spears begin to fight the pirates.

The harbor guards were much more orderly, but the pirates were more vigorous.

The port defenses were qualitatively different from the experienced and rough pirates who had not been functioning properly.

In the meantime, I continued to shoot at the mast of pirate ships to destroy them.

But it was then.

A young man sneezes from the harbor and flies in the air.

I looked closely at the scope and saw his face.

It was hazing.

With a massive leap, Haeshing quickly surpassed the defensive force's head and landed in the harbor.

Then I snuck past the buildings and flew across the sky.

Hashing lunges straight for the hills where I am.
