Rebuild World

95 Tankrantula

Akira had discovered Tankrantula earlier than the Sikarabes. It's the work of Alpha's enemies.

Alpha points to the end of the wilderness.

"Akira, I discovered the prize neck."

Look where Akira points Alpha's fingers with her binoculars. There was a giant monster figure there.

"Is that the 800 million orum prize neck... That's big. '

The exterior of the tank rantula resembles a giant metal spider (crust) about the size of a three-story house. The legs are also grown from the abdomen with sixteen, and the entire body is covered with an exoskeleton like an armored plate. On the upper surface of the abdomen there is a turret-like metal part of the tank, with two artillery guns. There were multiple giant tires and infinite orbits at the bottom of the body.

Tankrantula had stabbed the burnt, half-baked car with her feet, carried it to her mouth and chewed (shudder). The wreckage of the car is chopped and crushed into the giant by a strong tooth-like pulverizer.

'I'm eating a car... Are you eating?

'Maybe it's the Hunter's car I bought back. If you get close enough, Akira's car is going to see the same thing. Let's be careful.'

"If the staple food is metal, did the owner escape? Or was it eaten first?

'Oh, that's mostly omnivorous. I don't think we're going to eat the heavy firearms or the reinforced clothes with a lot of metal. "

'Is that true, too? Even if it wasn't an omnivore, I wouldn't let you eat my car.'

It's a car that Akira bought because she offered a lot of money. You can't make it food for Tankrantula.

"Monsters like that grow according to the amount of food they eat. Leaving it alone will make it even bigger and increase your diet even more. Most of the time, other monsters knock me out before I get that big. If that's a monster from behind the ruins of Yonozka Station, there might have been plenty of food by accident."

Akira remembered the passage of the site of Yonozka station, where there were traces of the battle but no bodies were found, etc. It may have grown to the size that Tankrantula, who was still a toddler, could pass through the aisle while eating, eating the surrounding wreckage after leaving the ruins for further growth.

Confirm Tankrantula's giant as you drive closer. The steel exoskeleton looks very sturdy and the thick feet that are piercing the car look very tough and powerful. It seems powerful because it also sees the artillery of the two gates of the turret. Akira speaks with surprise when she sees a monster that seems powerful to see.

"Nevertheless, if we defeat him, is it 800 million aurum? How strong is it on earth that the 800 million aurum prize money hangs?

"It's not like the amount of the prize money determines the strength of the prize neck, but pay at least 800 million aurums. But I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who wants you dead as soon as possible. There are many reasons to hang prizes for wandering around just blocking a transportation route, or for worsening the distribution of monsters around you when you live in a powerful monster in that location. It's a prize neck because it's strong on top of it and it's not easy to defeat. Think of it as something different than the monster you've been defeating. '

'If you look at it, you'll see. I don't know if that's what happens in the wilderness. "

"If you're in a more eastern region, you've got about that much of a monster."

"Oh, yeah."

"And there are hunters out there who can easily defeat that many monsters. So even with monsters of the same strength, they won't be the prize neck in the area, I guess. '

"The world is wide......"

Akira muttered emotionally.

Communicators will receive instructions to initiate Sikarabe's battle. Alpha smiles invincibly at Akira, who listens to her instructions and tightens her mind.

"The battle against the prize neck has begun. Are you ready for this?

"Of course."

"Good. Shall we begin?"

"Oh, wait a minute."

'What's wrong with you?

Alpha gives me a strange look.

"I need to make sure."

Akira declares toward Togami.

"I fight my way. That's what Shikarabe and I are talking about. I don't give a shit about you. If you want to go down, go down now."

Togami, who had originally raised his chi, heard Akira's words and shouted.

"Huh!? Don't be silly!"

"You're not going down, are you? I got confirmation."

That's all Akira says and turns to Alpha.

Let's Get Started

'Got it. Even if he gets thrown out of the car, it means it's his own fault, so let's get him to do something on his own'

Alpha laughed and said so, taking the car driving from Akira and rapidly accelerating the car.

Togami was pushed into his seat by a sudden acceleration momentum, and he made an unexpected and panicked voice.

Alpha driving is very rough (for) driving considering the battle against the prize neck. Akira can move fine because Alpha hangs motion corrections on the reinforced clothes she wears, but Togami will have a hard time.

Akira moves to the back seat to remove the CWH objective assault gun from the car. Hold the CWH objective assault gun firmly with both hands and aim for the tank cruncher, which is still quite a distance away.

Even Tankrantula giants look smaller than bean grains in the naked eye. The body is shaking heavily for acceleration. Akira captures Tankrantula's appearance over the aimer. Akira's vision shows a variety of information thanks to Alpha's support.

Akira aligns the lines of ballistic prediction calculated by Alpha with Tankrantula. Then he concentrated his consciousness, compressing as much density as possible for a moment, aiming and pulling the trigger the moment he remembered the feeling that the body wobble had subsided.

The bullet pierces the atmosphere and flies towards the target. The bullet forcefully penetrated a layer of relatively compressed air due to the speed of the bullet, attenuating the power but hitting the target.

The bullet that hit Tankrantula was lightly returned to a strong metal exoskeleton.

Tankrantula had already noticed Akira and the others. I was just prioritizing my meal because I was eating and because of the distance from Akira and the others. But with the attack reaching himself, he raised the priority of dealing with Akira, whether he was attacked or intact.

Tankrantula's turret begins to move. I'm trying to aim the cannon at a piece of metal that I like.

Akira is checking on Tankrantula over the aimer.

"Did you hit it?

"I got hit, but I got a bullet back. If we don't get closer, it won't hurt how many shots we shoot."

'Right. Then we need to get a little closer. The decoy and traction are the roles. Let's do a reward job.'

"I succeeded in becoming a decoy." They're already after me. To avoid their cannons, be careful, 'cause driving will be rougher from now on.'

Copy that.

Akira grabbed the body of the car with her left hand away from the gun.

Tankrantula points the cannon at Akira's car. The shell was fired along with the roar. The recoil of the shelling was rocking its giant. But he hasn't broken down at all. They are killing the recoil of the shelling with numerous legs. The shelling continues intermittently. Multiple shells draw a parabola and fly towards Akira.

The shells unleashed by Tankrantula are about to blow Akira off every perimeter. When Alpha quickly completed his ballistic predictions, he ignored the car's occupants and tried to change the direction of his progress in a positive way to get away from the landing point.

Inertia according to the speed of the car strikes the occupants Akira and Togami. Akira grabbed (one) the body with the grip of her fortified clothes as she stood and prevented it from swinging down from the body. Togami, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was violently pushed against the door, but he didn't have to be thrown out of the vehicle's body.

A shell loaded to penetrate the ground explodes and winds up smoke, dust and debris. Vibrations and blasts further shake Akira's body. The body is thrown out into the air just a little bit and lands intact. Alpha's driving skills have left the car intact. The loaded baggage is safe.

Alpha speaks with a spare smile.

"Looks like the target's aiming accuracy is pretty bad. I can get closer without a problem."

'That's good! Hopefully, you can stay a little further away from the landing point!

Akira remembered the feeling of both legs floating from the body of the vehicle. If I hadn't grabbed (one) the body firmly with my left hand, I might have been in danger.

'It's okay. With that kind of power, you can take a direct hit and take about one shot. "

'That's about the car, isn't it?!?

"It's impossible to prevent Akira from wearing boulders. I need to buy a better one. '

"Don't be lame. What the hell are you doing?"

"If Akira defeats Tankrantula by herself, she'll probably be able to buy it for that prize."

'I don't have that money!

'Then we'll have to make more money. Let's make some money.'

'Oh yeah!

I saw the smiling (cheeky) alpha as a matter of course, and Akira answered with a little self-abandonment.

Shikarabe and the others are confirming Akira's battle with on-board camera footage. Shikarabe and the others laughed with pleasure at the sight of the battle, which also seemed to be Akira's recklessness in a large display device.

Yamanobe laughs and talks invincibly.

"Don't do it. More than 100 million boulders. Good courage."

Parga speaks with an extra grin.

"Enough as a decoy. It's a little early, but are we leaving too? Shikarabe, open it."

When Sicarabe operates the terminal of the car, the door at the rear of the vehicle slowly opens. Shikarabe pushes for once.

"Don't push it. Come back as soon as you get the job done."

Yamanobe laughs and answers.

"I know. I did see that, and I got a little burned up, too. So I'm not going to show you the good part either."

Parga answers with a little mockery.

"I'm not willing to die in applause. That's another job."

I broke my expression slightly as I was relieved to see how Sikarabe was doing with the two of them.

"Number two. Operation's on."

"Number three. Operation's on."

Yamanobe and Parga hop out of a driving car on a motorcycle. Accelerate tire rotation in the air and land straight on the ground. The two overtook the car with Sicarabe on it as it was, splitting it between their hands and continuing to run towards Tankrantula.

Akira shrinks her distance from the enemy as she scratches (or squeezes) Tankrantula shelling. Stitch between enemy shells to continue shooting with a CWH Object Assault Gun special bullet. Thanks to Alpha's driving skills and ballistic predictions, the car is intact so far too.

A special bullet from a CWH objective assault gun lands on Tankrantula's armor. The bullet reduces to armor, and the armor and bullet deform greatly. The armor at the landing point peels off the tank rantula and falls off. There is another intact armor underneath the peeled armor, and new armor comes up from the inside and quickly returns to normal. So far, no damaging damage has been inflicted on Tankrantula.

Akira looks at Tankrantula with a strange look on her face.

'You're hitting it, aren't you?

'He's got a good shot. Damage inflicted upon landing is also on the rise. At least a little bit of armor peels off where the bullet landed. "

Akira roars a little. Until now, enemies loaded with special ammunition for CWH objective assault guns had mostly been defeated with one blow. The exception is about the heavy-duty fortified clothing encountered in the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. For that exception, it would have worked a little if only the bullet had landed. However, it has little (if any) effect on Tankrantula. Akira remembered the strength of the 800 million orum prize neck.

I said, can we get closer?

'It's dangerous to get any closer. I've played my part as a fool. There seems to be some kind of maneuver on Sikarabe and we should keep this distance and continue the attack.'

'Right. Copy that. Keep driving safe. "

Copy that.

'Say it yourself, but don't be questioned what safe driving means'

Alpha laughs and answers like a prank.

'Oh, I'm driving properly and safely. Did you get hurt before I knew it?

"No."

Alpha didn't lie. I also know that Akira. There's just a difference in consideration for the human being on board. And Akira is full of herself. We can't afford to care for others.

Togami was desperate to cling to the car. He held his body to his body with both hands and legs and was desperate to prevent bullets (inclusions) from coming out of the vehicle. I've been eating up my teeth because I think I'm going to bite my tongue if I talk about anything.

Alpha continued to drive very rough to avoid tank rantula shells. Sudden stops, rapid accelerations and rapid swirls were repeated in order not to narrow the target to the enemy.

Akira's operation of Alpha's fortified clothing had caused her to change her posture in advance as the car moved, so she was able to continue to stand without any problems even on her violently rocking body.

But Togami doesn't. In addition to driving the Alpha, shell blasts and shocks shake Togami's body violently. He was bitterly resisting the shock of being thrown out of the car if he even lost his mind for a moment. I can't afford to attack the enemy. That's not the point.

Togami gradually understood why Akira had taken various (deliberate) confirmations. Akira, as proclaimed, does not take into account anything at all about Togami. Even if Togami is really thrown out of the car, Akira won't even care about shards. Togami drenched herself in the matter.

If you open your mouth to complain, you're going to bite your tongue. If you move poorly, they're going to throw you out as you go. Maintaining the status quo was the limit for Togami.

Togami barely moves his neck and looks at Akira in the back seat. Akira continues to attack Tankrantula with a slightly harsh look on her face.

(... hey what the fuck is this guy!? This is Hunter Rank 21 Hunter!? Don't be ridiculous! There's a Rank 21 like this! Don't be ridiculous! What the fuck is this!? How the hell are we in this situation!?

On a violently rocking body, left confused without following the situation, Togami repeatedly cursed at something he didn't even know very well. That was the best of Togami.

Tankrantula continued to shell a blind opponent who interrupted his meal. Obscure opponents are those who persist in depressing attacks that do not even work against them.

Akira first. Next up is Shikarabe. Sikarabe is shooting Tankrantula with a machine gun mounted on an armoured personnel transport vehicle. If each shot is a lined monster, it is powerful to become a fine piece of wood dust, but towing (speckling) is excellent against tank crunchulas. Still, we can limit the enemy's movements. If I kept shooting bullets, I would have been able to drive Tankrantula's aim somewhat crazy.

And the other is hunter number four. He is a combat cyborg hunter named Nergo. He had a distinct and mechanical body, unlike a prosthetic body, and was shooting tank crunchula with a powerful firearm with four arms.

Nergo was in this bounty neck crusade for connections to Drancam, not gold. He had been asked by Sikarabe to contribute in this operation as a condition for his accession to Drancam. Therefore, unlike other hunters who are participating in (for) debt repayment, an easy to understand activity was required.

Nergo, like Akira, is pretty close to Tankrantula in his own car and continues to attack giants with huge guns. With high driving skill, he scratched his enemies' artillery fire, planted guns that seemed very reactionary, and unleashed large bullets on them.

Others were attacking Tankrantula further afield. It is as active as Shikarabe expects. In other words, it is of little use.

Sometimes a flying shell lands nearby and then rushes to reposition, continuing an attack that means nothing more than letting us know where we are. With shells flying near them, I'm guessing they recognize us as enemies for once. Or (yes) may be an act of trying to eat their vehicle later.

Yamanobe and Parga had packed the distance without attacking Tankrantula in any way. They were both prepared to scratch (or sneak) inside the shell, but thanks to the more useful (decoy) than expected, they could easily pack the distance.

Yamanobe, close enough to Tankrantula, stops the bike and watches Nergo struggle.

"Was there any other hard-working shop in Akira? With all those arms, the executives would convince him to join. The circumstances I heard yesterday were no big deal.... If that arm didn't have the merit of a bounty neck crusade, wouldn't it have been better to pile up a little money? You didn't have that money?

Yamanobe wondered a little, but decided not to care.

"Okay. It's work now. The decoy makes it easier. Can we get this over with?"

Yamanobe puts an objective sniper gun across (also) the motorcycle and points it at the tank crunchula. And pull the trigger. Momentum popped up. An object similar in shape to a bullet hit Tankrantula and sticked with it. It was a small machine wrapped in an object with strong adhesion.

Yamanobe continues shooting further. The launching object has no attack power at all, so Tankrantula's caution never turns to Yamanobe. Multiple small machines stick around the giant.

"This is number two. The marking is done."

Parga's voice comes from the comms.

"This is number three. Copy that. Get back in there."

"If you take it off, it's tough, so I'll stay."

"Say it."

Parga replied with a laugh at Yamanobe's light mouth.

Parga was packing a distance from Tankrantula elsewhere. He was in a rough position at the border where he wouldn't be targeted by an attack from his opponent if he didn't even attack from himself thanks to his. And when I was contacted by Yamanobe, I laughed invincibly and stepped over that boundary.

Quicker than the tank crunchura turret is directed at itself, Parga pulls the trigger with a recoilless cannon while quickly filling the distance with a motorcycle. The shells fired exploded just before they hit the enemy giant and scattered smoke around them.

Fire one shell after another, which is automatically loaded from the ammunition depot of the motorcycle as Parga moves. Some shells exploded in the same way to thicken the surrounding smoke, and the rest of the shells remained stuck to the tank crunchula.

Parga quickly disengages from the scene as dark smoke can stand in. Tankrantula tries to attack Parga with cannons. However, due to the large amount of smoke, we were unable to target it precisely. A shell fired from a giant turret flies into a place of misunderstanding.

A simple smokescreen would have allowed Tankrantula to target Parga without any problems. However, not only visible light, but all information to capture the target, such as infrared light and ultrasound, is crazy, and the target's position cannot be captured at all.

Parga fired a high-performance information-gathering jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke).

Sicarabe gets a call from Parga.

"This is number three. This one's over."

Sikarabe giggles and gives instructions, almost certain of their victory.

"Copy that. Both of you get your distance immediately. You stay close, you'll get caught up in it."

Parga and Yamanobe reply.

"I know, I know."

"Get started."

Sikarabe switches communication destinations of the communications aircraft to everyone.

"This is number one! Allow use of distributed rocket launchers! Everybody, get Tankrantula close to the lockable distance! We're firing simultaneously on this signal! Never be late!

Akira watches Tankrantula wrapped in smoke.

Smokescreen? You're completely blind. '

"That's a jamming smoke screen. I've been given coping information beforehand, so I can check inside. '

Alpha expands Akira's vision. You will be able to clearly see what Tankrantula looked like when she was covered in smoke and no longer visible. Akira is quite surprised.

'Can you tell so clearly? Besides, you don't know where we are from over there, do you? It's really convenient to jam a smokescreen. "

'You seem to be using quite a few luxury items. It inhibits enemy intelligence as much as possible, and it discourages allies from gathering it. A lot of this stuff only has the same effect as just a smokescreen when it's cheap, but you seem pretty excited to deal with the bounty neck.... I hope you still have the prize money after you skip the expense, huh?

'... so, you'll be fine'

Akira got a little anxious.

Shikarabe will contact you to use the rocket launcher. Akira puts down the CWH objective assault gun and starts preparing the rocket launcher.

Under the influence of an information jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke), Tankrantula is shelling in an off-target direction. It interrupts shelling, tries to move and escape the information gathering jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke), but the source of the information gathering jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke) is affixed to the giant, and even if the giant is moved slightly, it is immediately applied to the smoke.

Alpha pulls over because the likelihood of being bombed has dropped dramatically. Togami relaunched his posture.

"... oh, hey"

Togami tried to complain to Akira, who mistakenly threw a rocket launcher and its bullet at Togami and gave it to him. Togami managed to take it and fell ill again.

Akira gets ready for the rocket launcher. The aim of the rocket launcher was already marked with content indicating that target capture and automatic tracking were enabled.

I can hear Sikarabe's instructions from the comms.

"We attack in fifteen seconds! This is why I brought you here! Those who did not participate in the attack will be rewarded less!

Togami rushes to start getting ready.

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!

Akira already has a rocket launcher. Togami also made it in hard time.

"Zero!"

By decree of Sikarabe, Akira and the others fired rocket rounds simultaneously.

Countless rocket rounds fly towards Tankrantula. They fly through the universe and close to the enemy to some extent, once they rise and gather. And countless rocket rounds corrected the distance flown and the deviation at firing in the air, striking directly at Tankrantula almost simultaneously.

There was a huge explosion. It was an explosion that blew everything around. A flash of light ran through the wilderness, a blast of smoke rose and a blast reached Akira's location.

Akira continued to look at the blast point in an abrupt (abrupt) manner, wearing a largely weakened blast.

"... Awesome. Do we have to go this far to defeat the prize neck?"

Note Akira, whom Alpha intends to win.

"Akira, I haven't decided to take you down yet."

Akira turns to Alpha unexpectedly. It's the behavior of a suspicious man who suddenly turns his face in the direction of no one else. That's all Akira was surprised.

"What!? No, anything would have died!? No, even if he's alive, he was caught in that explosion. It'll be worn out already. After that, if we all slow down and even rain rocket rounds and stab a stop...... '

Alpha points to Tankrantula.

"Look."

Akira sees Tankrantula. The explosion blew out the jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke), so you can see it firmly without the support of Alpha.

Despite the blast, Tankrantula remained in its original form.

Several legs have been blown away. The turret-like metal part is also blown away. The giant belly is heavily distorted and torn. Huge tires at the bottom and infinite orbits have also been destroyed. Tankrantula tried to force (do) the giant with her remaining legs, and her legs broke a few more times, making a roar and collapsed.

Akira speaks to Alpha with a surprised look.

"Oh, can you still move with that!? No, but look, I can't seem to move anymore, okay?

Instructions are given from Sikarabe through the comms.

"Again. As soon as the guiding device is installed, attack in the same manner. Get ready for your own rocket launcher."

Yamanobe's voice comes from the comms.

"This is number two. Copy that. I'll be done in a minute."

Parga's voice comes from the comms.

"This is number three. What am I gonna do? Do you want to re-install the jamming smoke screen?

Sikarabe answers.

"Wait a minute. Confirm.... The enemy has lost its ranged attack capability and will be fine. Use it to fight the next bounty neck. Leave it. If things change and you think you need it, use it."

"Copy that. Sure enough, the enemy cannons have been destroyed. Don't you need an information jamming smoke screen... what the hell!?

Parga's hasty voice passed to everyone through the comms.

The hunters here recognize each other differently. Some have been completely relaxed with certainty of victory. Some leave a certain vigilance because once they are still alive. However, there was no difference in the extent to which we thought we were overwhelmingly dominant and the rest was like cleaning up later.

The sight that overshadows the expectations of all of them appears in front of the hunters. The abdomen of the tank crunchula, which was already partly torn, cracks even bigger. And a lot of tiny tank rantulas gushed out of the rift.

A myriad of machine child spiders spread around. Comparison with the parent spider, even if it is small. Although there is variation in size, there is also a massive mix of individuals about two metres long. Its flock of small tank crunchers were moving their tires and infinite orbits vigorously towards Akira and the others.

The whole child spider moves a small turret and points the cannon at Akira's car. A shell was fired, landed near the car and exploded. Its power is exceptionally lower than that of a parent spider (gu) cannon, but if eaten many times it won't last long though a wilderness spec body.

Alpha launches the car vigorously. Numerous child spiders unleash shells simultaneously. Countless shells land on the rear of the car one after another. Togami was screaming.

On a violently rocking body, Akira sets up a CWH objective assault gun to pull the trigger. A dedicated bullet fired hits the whole herd. A child spider broke the fuselage and flew backwards.

Akira has a harsh look on her face.

"The CWH Object Assault Gun's special ammo is working properly! More brittle than parents! But there's too many of them!

There are too many child spiders. There is little (or no) point in knocking down a few.

Alpha speaks with a harsh look.

'Still, if you take them down, they'll decrease. Aim for the next one immediately. "

'Okay, I get it!

Akira immediately targeted the next individual to pull the trigger. Individuals who devoured the direct hit of the CWH Object Assault Gun's dedicated bullet are pulverized and scattered with mechanical parts.

Another individual steps on and crushes the remains of the same species to advance one after the other. Continue the shelling as you advance. Alpha avoids the rain of its shells with advanced driving techniques.

Akira, who felt the surrounding explosion on her skin, eats up her teeth and asks Alpha.

"Please avoid it properly!?

"It's okay."

'Right!

"If it's that powerful, eating it somewhat won't interfere with mobility."

'So! It is! We're talking about a car, right? Me!?

'If you don't like to hit your body, reduce the number of enemies as much as you can. If we reduce the number by a little, that's sure to reduce the chances of getting hit?

'You should do it! Do it!'

Concentrate your spirit and pull the trigger as Akira abandons (quits) a little. Concentrate, compress your body feel time, aim with the intention of hitting all bullets, and pull the trigger. Aiming correction with the support of the alpha is also added, and bullets released from the CWH objective assault gun continue to grind the child spider (gu) accurately and unbeatably all bullets.

Still, the situation hasn't improved. Other individuals pack their distance from Akira while the same species is being defeated, making the aiming slightly more accurate. Things were worse than before the simultaneous attacks.
