Rebuild World

286 Dead Curse

Raina, who jumped out of the building, flipped herself in the air as she fell. And when I noticed the humanoid behind Togami, I immediately held the gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet flies straight over the target's head and blows up the target's neck.

Reina loosened her expression slightly, thinking that she had defeated her. But I was instantly surprised and distorted my face. An enemy without a neck was about to pull the gun towards Reina while losing his position due to the impact of the landing.

Likewise, Togami flipped over the humanoid device and fired at it. Man-type devices that have been exposed to countless bullets still do not break. But it was enough to contain the movement. Raina aimed at her torso in that gap. Powerful bullets shattered the opponent's torso and scattered the missing limbs.

As fragmented human terminals, meat pieces, metal pieces, and green liquids scatter, Reina and the others use the grounding function of the reinforcement clothing while falling to generate a force field armor "Force Field Armor" under their feet, and slow down by sliding over their invisible scaffolding. And when I saw Akira approaching by motorcycle from above, I jumped on the bike.

"Akira! What's going on?! What happened!?

"I don't know, and I don't have time to explain, so I'll just ask you this. Leave Reina and the others in a safe place. Take a distance, and we'll go back to Siori and the others. Which one do you want?

Reina was lost for a moment. But when I decide quickly, I see the togami that will keep me company. Togami nodded back.

"Cover!"

Roger that.

Akira makes the motorcycle twist vertically. The ground rubbed back and jumped up at once.

I think Akira joined Raina and the others.

Alpha. The one Raina and the others defeated earlier, but they were so weak... do you think it was my ego?

The human-type terminal that was desperately used against me and Shiori should have been stronger. Do you think so because you unconsciously underestimate Reina's abilities? If so, it tends to be creepy (first). Akira remembered that concern.

Alpha denies it.

"No, actually, it was a lot worse. I'm probably in the middle of a fight, so I can't get around to the remote control terminal."

"I see. So the one upstairs is real?"

It's a hopeful observation, but killing her could drastically reduce the momentum of our enemies. Let's hurry up.

Oh, let's get this over with.

It's a quick conversation that just happened, so it hasn't arrived yet, even if it's a motorcycle ride to the rooftop of a building that's not that high. However, it would still take a short time to get to the position where Siori and the others can be covered.

But something gets in the way. When Akira noticed a new reaction approaching from the side of the air, she immediately pointed her gun at the people-type terminal on the flight bike.

Then the identity of the reaction breaks through the information gathering obstruction smoke screen (jamming smoke) and appears. When she saw it, Akira accidentally twitched her face.

Only half of Akira's expectations were that it would be a human-type terminal on a flight bike. It was a mixture of flesh-and-machine in the shape of a flying motorcycle, with about half of the living multi-armed that was integrated with the gun.

Akira and the other aliens shoot each other. Bullets fired from numerous guns fly through the sky. Each of them was almost mutually reinforcing in the sense of killing each other enough, but evasiveness and hit rate were also the skillful behavior of the motorcycle and the strength of the shooters, and Achilles outperformed them unilaterally. Thousands of bullet-borne variants were able to withstand with abnormal vitality while bleeding green blood, but on top of that, they could not stand further barrage, and fell while losing most of the original form.

Akira and the others won easily. However, there were no shards of joy in victory on his face, and he was dyed with surprise and sharply distorted. And Reina inadvertently roughed up her voice.

"Akira! Oh! What the hell!? Akira and the others are here!? What were you fighting over there!?

"There was no such thing over there. What the hell is going on?

Alpha gives instructions with a serious face to Akira, who intensifies the confusion.

Akira, here comes the extra one. Switch your minds and intercept them. "

New variants approaching at high speeds from a distance range from parts that were originally flying motorcycles to individuals that produce multiple upper bodies with multiple arms and no head, and individuals with unusually enlarged eyeballs. But at least in that it was invisible to humans, it basically had a similar shape. And all of that was definitely targeting Akira and the others.

"Reina, Togami. Destroy them all before they attack Theoli. I don't think I can afford to take care of you, so do what you can."

Reina laughs strongly and Togami laughs lightly, both showing high spirits.

I didn't have to tell you.

"Originally Raina's escort was my job. I'm not going to push you."

"All right, let's go!

Motorcycles accelerate at once. Climb up high and over the rooftop of the building, then swing around the base at high speed. In the load that would be immediately wiped out by the inertia of the people in line, Akira and the others pointed their guns at the aliens and poured their talents into the bullets and fired.

The bulleted aliens blew green blood and shot it down. However, if some of them recover quickly while falling, they fly back to the front again. Additional reinforcements appear to join the attack. The amount of flying ammunition is increasing rather than decreasing.

Although Akira and the others were dominant, the war situation was rigid.

Ellio and the others were retreating to their base at Shiloh's behest. Some of them were angry at the instructions to retreat suddenly in a situation where they maintained the front even after casualties were taken to their allies, but by returning there to the drunkard hunters, they were heightening their anxiety and confusion about what happened in exchange for accepting the validity of the instructions.

Completely shutting down the building will increase your defenses, but you will not be able to counterattack the raiders and will be attacked unilaterally, all of which will be destroyed. Bill's force field armor, Force Field Armor, won't last long. To prevent it, I've been out there and fighting back in a way that keeps raiding.

We're now placing a barricade near the entrance, each pointing a gun at the other. Imagine being attacked without a place to escape from the raiders who brought tanks and humanoid weapons, and Ellio's tensions gradually escalated.

However, the tension was temporarily overwritten again with confusion. The raiders won't show up.

"Ellio, what's going on?

"... if you think about it conveniently, they retreated because Akira-san won...?

"Oh, I see!

Ellio's remarks are groundless, but the other boys are still alive. When Elio himself began to think that this might be the case, something that fell from above crushed his optimism.

"What is it!?

Ellio and the others pointed their guns in a hurry. Lumps of meat from hands and feet were crashing into the ground near the base.

"Mo, monster!? Why are the monsters...?"

"It's still moving!

Elio and the others, who were surprised and bewildered, returned to me with those words and shot at me all at once. The monster was trying to regenerate even though he was shot, but he could not catch up with the regeneration after taking a pile of bullets where he was already wounded and stopped moving using up the green recovery fluid flowing through his body.

But it didn't end there. Variants shot down by Akira and others over the base fell one after the other to crush Ellio's relief.

Ellio sips the wolverine boys.

Calm down and shoot! I can take it down! "

So the boys returned to me. The unit that regains control moves effectively with the support of the Integrated Support System and locks the situation in a predominant position. The results restored the boys' minds.

Further changes will appear there. The raiders, who had never been seen before, appeared from afar. At a time like this, Ellio unexpectedly frowned. But the face quickly turned into something suspicious. The raiders were also attacked by another monster, a pervert who was walking around the ground.

"Really... what's going on...?

The unexplained situation continued, but Ellio and the others had no choice but to fight.

Akira, who was fighting by motorcycle around the base, looks around and thinks.

"Alpha, this is the fastest thing I've ever seen, and the others will come inside, right?

Probably.

The person they're fighting is something that reflects what they ate like a crocodile. Among other things, the individual who captured the flight bike used by the humanoid terminal arrived here first with its maneuverability. Then the other individuals have not arrived yet and are on their way here. And perhaps there are many individuals who have a higher amount and a stronger amount after that. Some of the individuals must have captured the destroyed humanoid weapon. Akira, who thought so, looked at her face as if it was troublesome.

There you can speak to Reina with a serious face.

"Akira, that's the monster we're fighting against, right?

"Eh? Well, that's what it looks like to me...."

As you can see, Akira returned a slightly strange face, but Reina assumed that it was enough.

"Does Akira think so too? Then let's tell the city about the situation. If Akira and Lyons Tail were fighting, the Guards would be watching, but if the monster herd were raiding the city, it would work. He's coming with me."

Akira thinks slightly. The opponent appears to be a monster, but it is highly unlikely that an unrelated monster raided the city at the same time by chance. There is no doubt that Leon's Tail and Pamela are involved. Understanding that and involving the Guards in the fight means using unrelated cities for our convenience. I think I have to.

But I think it's different to force Reina and the others to stop. Reina knew, and that's why she confirmed to herself that the enemy was a monster. So late to understand.

Whether you're using the pretext of raiding monsters or involving a defense force, Raina chose to do it to help Theoli. Understanding this, Akira affirmed Reina's choice.

"... okay. Then I'll lend you my bike. Good luck later."

Reina, who was planning to get off the bike and walk, was surprised by Akira's offer. It is necessary to communicate directly due to communication failure caused by the smoke screen obstructing information collection (jamming smoke), but there is a high risk of overlapping with Akira's off-limits area when approaching the communication distance, so it is dangerous, but I thought there was no other way to behave differently from Akira. But I didn't expect you to lend me a bike.

"Are you sure?

"Well, Siori and the others owe me some help over there. That's it."

We know that Akira is expecting Reina's escort from Siori and the others. If you were going to take another action with Reina and the others, Akira thought about it that way. To that extent, he lent Reina and the others an important weapon, a motorcycle.

"Okay. Thanks for borrowing it."

Of course, if Akira gets off the motorcycle, it's as dangerous as it gets. It was Theoli who made the loan to make Akira tolerate it, and it was easy for Reina to imagine how difficult it was. And Reina accepted the loan as the LORD of Siori, and accepted it with responsibility.

"I'll tell you what, don't break it.

"I'll be careful."

Akira and Reina laugh at each other in a light tone. And Akira jumped off the bike.

Reina accelerates the motorcycle instead of driving.

"Togami! I don't have Akira, but take good care of her for now!

"I know! You're completely useless!

The number of variants moving in the air like a flying motorcycle had decreased considerably, but the other individuals moving on the ground were already close to the perimeter. Due to the unusual muscle enlargement (because), the skin was torn, and a human form with an arm that exposed the muscle fiber fired a large gun from the arm at Reina and the others from the roof of a nearby building.

While scratching the bullets, Reina and the others rushed through the sky on a motorcycle.

Akira jumped off a motorcycle in the air and scattered bullets around the base as she fell. Alpha, who was flying along with the Achilles, had a slightly more difficult face.

Akira, I think I lent you a motorcycle too much.

Well, I'll figure it out. And we're really running out of ammo. And I'm here.

Akira smiled back at Alpha, who expressed concern with her sigh.

And Akira's bombs are really running out. Both guns silenced simultaneously, but Akira kicked the universe and jumped downwards, accelerating.

Underneath, the camper was about to fly out of the base with autopilot. Akira entered the vehicle through an already open rear door at the same time as landing and jumped onto the roof of the car once she had quickly refilled the ammunition. Then, pointing an ammunition-filled RL2 compound gun into space, a dense barrage was fired at the surrounding enemy to eject all of the contents of the incredibly loaded magazine.

The deformation swallowed up in the C-bullet (charge barrel) filling up the space disappears without leaving any shape as if it had vaporized in an instant. Guided missiles, small bullet-sized missiles, turn into airborne turbidities, splitting into countless tributaries, hitting enemies and destroying targets. There is a fundamental difference between the number of loads that can be carried on a motorcycle and a camper. He uses his strengths to crush his enemies with a huge amount of bullets.

There will be no more attacks like the main cannon of that big tank that we must desperately escape by motorcycle. After that, we don't have to avoid enemy attacks. "

Alpha smiles deeply at Akira laughing.

"Akira, do you know what ammunition costs are?

"... I fired five anti-annihilation warheads. It's an error now.

"Well, if that's what Akira thinks, why don't I stop messing around with her?"

Towards Akira, who smiled as if she had abandoned herself a little, Alpha smiled happily as if she had abandoned herself.

Akira continued to use her camper to circle around the base, killing enemies in effective range. On the way, he turned his gaze to the roof of the base. A turbid stream of guided ammunition approaches you, hitting the aliens on the way and blowing them off flashy.

(... I knew you were hitting me.)

Peripherals had Akira as their top priority. But it wasn't just about Akira, because Akira was trying to cover Shiori and the others. Nor will the heretics support Pamela and the others. Priority was given to those who tried to intervene in the battle between Theoli and Pamela, which was taking place on the roof of the base.

Are you out of my way? What the hell is going on?

Though in doubt, Akira does not go underneath Siori and focuses on eliminating nearby enemies. If you try to force a rendezvous with Siori and the others, perhaps a strange herd will arrive there. And the turmoil works against Shiori and the others. I decided to do so, and first prioritized the annihilation of the surrounding enemies.

Kanae fists out. The intent to kill was real in the sense of wanting the opponent to die, but even though the current canoe had once completely stopped enjoying the fight, the intent was close to pest control without even resentment to the subject, and it was just a strike for efficiency.

The efficiency transforms the air produced at a speed of less than one meter into a relatively thick and hard wall. Using his extreme efficiency technique to penetrate the wall, he fires a cold blow at Pamela while even spreading the impact along the ballistics of his fist.

However, it was destroyed. The gaze of Kanae and Pamela, who were close to expressionless, crossed at the moment when the offensive defense was switched.

Pamela starts her fist. The intent to kill was real in the sense of wanting the other person to die, and the blow was filled with hatred of wanting the subject to die miserably. Using the technique of manipulating dozens of human-type terminals on their own, they use objectively manipulable technology to fire a blow that even increases their power without paying any attention to their own bodies.

The canoe managed to do that. To avoid it, Pamela's face was grudgingly distorted, and the canoe's face was suddenly sharply distorted.

(... strong! I should have killed him back then...!

While regretting the mistake of his choice, Kanae kept fighting, turning even his remorse into power.

Shiori waves his sword. He skillfully manipulates the incredible physical abilities produced by high-performance reinforcement clothing with techniques polished with years of drilling, and tries to destroy the Lord's enemies with his loyalty to the shining blade.

But it was prevented. It's powerful enough to use it with the permission of a branch manager at Leon's Tail, but it's the same with the other party. Latis, who is already dead, has no will or loyalty, but instead has Pamela's skills and hatred. The motion assigned for (for) only one rare (rare) precision operation necessary for simultaneous operation of dozens of human-type terminals exceeded the motion of Shiori. A counterattack is imminent.

Shiori prevents it at the last minute. The light blades collided with each other again, and the energy leaking from them splashed like sparks.

(Stronger than myself....! I'm fighting the canoes myself...! What a skill...! It makes sense to keep us alive...!

At that time, if Pamela had been killed instead of Latis, Theori would have regretted her immaturity of not seeing it, while praising Latis's calm judgment that she had let Pamela escape without hesitation in exchange for her life.

But I will not end it with regret. If they are defeated, this power will attack Reina next. That is unacceptable. We must also win for Reina. Determined, strong enemies, and immature selves resist, cutting off this predicament increases motivation.

Both Shiori and Kanae have already taken combat medicine with severe side effects. Your consciousness is accelerating and your senses are sharpened. Even the bullet after firing was visible, and it seemed evasive after looking. In that state, Siori and the others did their best to fight against a situation that had not even reached a mutual angle with Pamela.

Meanwhile, Pamela couldn't afford to recognize Siori and the others. Just like Theori and the others, they're trying to kill each other and win. But the difference in winning conditions gradually begins to push Pamela.

Theoli and the others are fighting to protect Reina from Pamela's blades. Therefore, I can tolerate my own death. In other words, it is a winning match for Shiori and the others.

But Pamela is fighting to wipe out the past that killed Lattice because she was tied to her feet and hands. For that reason, both Pamela and Latis must win in a healthy state. In other words, the battle is a loss for Pamela.

Fight in the same two-to-two situation and overturn the results. Pamela consumed almost the entire unit of Leon's Tail that she brought to create the situation. In addition, the aliens who were formerly human-type terminals were instructed not to engage in combat. Pamela, who was so obsessed with winning because of the excess hate, didn't have any shards to change the winning conditions.

However, the more difficult the winning conditions are, the more Pamela will have to continue to focus on achieving them. It also affects the precision operation of Lattice. Because of this, Pamela was unable to kill Shiori and the others.

And then comes the opportunity. Siori and Kanae, who knew how much time they had left before the combat medicine expired, would only be killed if the effect expired and the movement slowed down. I squeezed out the remaining force and stepped into the area where life and death were at stake, from the offensive defense that reversed it. Siori and Kanae simultaneously fired a blow to allow death with fidelity, to cut off their own exit, and to stab each other.

Pamela also tried to deal with it. But Pamela can't step in as much as Siori and the others. I'm not afraid of dying, but I can't die to meet the winning conditions. The sweetness of the step pushed Pamela backwards. Try to parry the Shiori blow in Latis with a single Kanae blow.

And Pamela, who thinks Latis is dead because she was wrapped around her feet and hands, biased the distribution of precision manipulation between herself and Latis.

Latis was perfectly struck by Theoli. Even a blow made at the risk of death is no good, and Shiori's face is greatly distorted. Shiori already has no leeway to deal with this afterwards. I will take a counterattack soon after this and die. With that in mind, I apologize to Reina for failing to accomplish my mission.

But the counterattack didn't come.

The canoe blow went to Pamela. I tried to prevent Pamela. But because Latis took precedence over himself (because), the movement lacked excitement. The fist of the canoe punched through the slight gap created there, crushing the force field barrier "Force Field Shield" placed in the front by Pamela, penetrating the force field armor "Force Field Armor" of both arms, and pressing and bending the opponent's arm to reach the head. Its power wasn't enough to blow Pamela's head off, but it smashed her brain with an internal shock.

The instantly dead Pamela slowly collapses behind her. The limitless canoe also collapsed a little later, with one hand and one knee on it.

Shiori also knelt down. Lattice, who had no one to move, remained standing on the spot.

"Ka... Kanae... did you... kill me...?

"Nh... I'll figure it out... Ah, is your sister...?

"This one... will be dead from the beginning..."

"That's right... that's right..."

Siori and the others kept breathing roughly. After recovering a little, Theori managed to stand up with his sword in place of a cane, and he put the sword up.

"Well... let's just cut it off."

Before someone moves Lattice again, be careful not to use it. With that thought, Theori shook her sword down.

You can slay an opponent that doesn't move even with the current Shiori. But I couldn't.

"Ha!?

Latis was blocking Siori's sword.

Kanae waves her fist reflectively to help Shiori. But it's already too late for almost dead bodies. It was the same with Shiori, making his face rugged at once. Theori and the others, who saw the next Latis movement as a preliminary counter-attack action, greatly distorted their faces.

If Latis had fought back here with his previous moves, Theori and the others would have been dead.

"... eh?

But Latis flew far away from the Theorians. He ran further and jumped off the edge of the roof.

It was the Shiori who were stunned in the middle of the day, but Shiori returned to me first. And with concern, he turned to Pamela's body and saw a canoe next.

The perceived canoe shook his head sideways.

"No, I think this is the person. Otherwise, they'll kill us both."

"... that's right."

In fact, Lattice and Pamela are switching brains, and the contents of the escaped Lattice may have been Pamela. Theoli thought so, but she reconsidered that she would have killed them. Because Pamela died and Latis, who lost his pilot, stopped moving, Theori and the others didn't die.

"So, you escaped, but what does your sister think of that?

"With Pamela's death and the loss of external input, the protective features of the reinforced garment determined that the wearer was unconscious and fatal at the very least, and attempted to escape the wearer with the autopilot..."

"Ah, then suddenly moving or running away without fighting back would be a good fit."

"I don't know the truth. But for now, let it go. I can't afford to go after her, and it's more important that you support her than that. Kanae, can you move?

"Totally useless and rough. It's tough to stand up.

"That's not as safe as your daughter's."

The canoe also smiled bitterly at the boulder. I understand what I'm trying to say, but Shiori herself is also fluffy and clearly knows that she is impossible.

"I want Akira boy back here... but I turned him around.... hmm?

Just then, Akira ran up the base wall and went up to the roof.

"I just came to the right place, or if you'd come a little sooner, I'd be lost."

As she watched Akira approaching, the canoe murmured with a bitter smile.

Akira managed to get Shiori and the others to cover her, and she was fighting a herd of aliens with a lot of ammunition. If you reduce it to a certain extent, even if you take the aliens to the Shiori because you went to the rooftop (because of it), you will be able to deal with the problem by yourself. That's how you keep shooting first to reduce the number of herds.

However, the number does not decrease due to the successive additions. Concerned about the situation of Theoli and the others, Akira was beginning to wonder whether she should go to the roof somewhat forcefully.

Enemy reinforcements stopped suddenly. The remaining enemies are also leaving the base as if they were retreating. While Akira was suspicious about it, she thought it was a good opportunity and headed to the rooftop of the base. And when I found out who the Shiori were, I relieved them first. Judging from the situation that Theori and the others had won, they calmed down and headed downstairs.

"I feel safe and above all..." I have a healing pill. Do you want to use it?

"Got it!

Akira hands over an unopened chest of healing medicine to the canoe. When the canoe opened the box by twisting it, it swallowed half of the contents at once rather than chewing them. And give the rest to Theori. Theoli took the other half in the same way.

A little agitated by Akira's rather unexpected use.

"Ooh, it works! Akira boy! This is quite expensive, isn't it?

Well, I guess.

"It works well. I think I've gotten a lot better. Ah, but if this doesn't work, I'll pass out for a few days."

The combat medicine you were taking is no longer effective, and it is difficult to get up because of the serious side effects. By forcibly offsetting the side effects with the healing medicine that Akira gave them, Shiori and the others recovered a state in which they could fight.

Yo (more), the side effects themselves have not disappeared, so it must be impossible. I only sensed the canoe physically, but if I relaxed and fell down, I would definitely faint for a few days.

"Dear Akira, Thank you for the healing medicine. Expenses will be charged at a later date. So... where's the young lady?

"I went to tell the defense that a monster herd was about to attack the city. You lent me my bike, so I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm sure you'll be able to escape."

Theori felt the general situation with it. Speaking of greed, I wanted Akira to stay with Raina, but I decided that giving Raina a motorcycle as a means of transportation under the circumstances would be sufficient consideration, as it would not be possible for Akira to enter the city.

"Thank you for doing that for your daughter."

"That's fine. So, what happened to us? You won... right?

"Pamela killed him. It was probably Pamela who was leading the unit in the third sector branch. However, until the troops of the third sector are withdrawn, I don't care....."

"Ah, I see. I hope you'll leave...."

The situation is improving, but it is too early to relax. When Akira thinks so, her voice echoes as if she affirms it.

"You lost...."

The voice came from Pamela. Akira and the others are reflectively alert.

"Kanae!?

"No, I killed him properly!?

Alpha!?

He's dead. Sounds like the recording was starting to play automatically after death. "

Pamela is definitely dead. Once again, Akira and the others recognized it and listened to the voices that followed from the corpse.

"In the end, did I have my feet wrapped around my hands... I wanted to kill him with Latis... I'm sorry...."

Pamela was crazy, but she was thinking about when she lost. And in that case, Latis alone was trying to escape. After Pamela died, Latis's body withdrew without continuing the fighting because Pamela had set it up from the beginning.

"But I can't help it...."

And if I lost because I had my feet and hands wrapped, I was ready to continue my revenge without that element.

"Kill me. To Latis."

The Curse of the Dead is over. Such a murmur was filled with resentment just imagining the time of his defeat, but it was only a very clear voice at the end.

Akira and the others looked at each other with a sharp expression.

"... hey, didn't you kill that Latis before?

"I killed him. However, the body was kept in operable condition by Pamela. I was fighting here with Pamela earlier... but I escaped."

I have a bad feeling about this. Akira and the others put it on their faces.
