Now then, let’s start moving as the devices that I had prepared at the guard stations have just activated.
The target is the lord’s manor at the center of the noble district. Let’s keep running until I reach there.
Guard: “!! You there! Stopーーー”
Rena: “Fuh!”
I threw a piece of glass towards the gatekeeper who was guarding the gate which separates the noble district and downtown area while standing still and calling out to me. The glass pierced his throat and killed him.
Then, I threw an Explosives Ball Lv. 4 (simply raised its power) at the gate with my utmost effort.
Don!! DOOOOOOOONN!!!
………………Did I put a bit too much of gunpowder? Not only the gate but the surrounding area was blown off as well….. If I remember correctly, there’s 『That』 for such a time, yes?
Rena: “……Te…Tehepero.”
(TL Note: Tehepero.)
…..I did it just like what I had imagined but it only gave me the shivers. I will never do that again.
In any case, more and more people are coming this way so let’s run through.
Hannes: “Aaah~ I’m still not convinced~”
Ryne: “…Hannes, again with this?”
Ryne replied to my grumbling with a voice mixed with perhaps a disgusted tone, though it might be something that’s inevitable.
Hannes: “But, it was 『Rena and Her Servants』! The dungeon was captured for the first time by the people who have that kind of ridiculous party name, you know!?”
Ryne: “It’s really a shame, but it was half a month ago, you know?”
Hannes: “Yeah…but…shit! If we weren’t killed by that bastard…”
Certainly I heard that she was last seen fleeing to the city on the north… but, can a beginner go solo the unexplored area normally?
Thanks to that, the people who are complete strangers, went ahead of us. Even though I could still be convinced if it was Harold’s party and the others!!
Ryne: “Yeah, you were really shocked when you heard that world announcement in the middle of our review meeting…”
Hannes: “Moreover, what’s up with that 『Genocider-chan』…!? That bastard is not cute at all.”
It has even been made to be an exclusive thread as well at the Official Bulletin Board, and some copycat criminals are appearing one after another… Well, all of them will be subjugated immediately, though.
The number of palace guards is widely different than on the first day, and above all, those guys are so damn weak compared to her…
Kellin: “We haven’t seen her figure since then, what do you guys think she’s doing now!?”
Kellin said so in such a carefree tone… Yeah really, what is she doing right now? At any rate, she’s probably scheming something that’s not going to be good, right? If I find her, I will absolutelyーーー
DOOOOOOOOON!!!
Hannes: “W-what happened?!”
When I thought that I heard a sudden loud explosion, the sound continued reverberating here and there.
Guard A: “Hurry! Several guard stations have been attacked!”
Guard B: “What happened?!”
Guard C: “Are they attacking the other guard station?!”
The NPC guards looked in a hurry and didn’t even try to hide it.
This is….
Cherry: “…I think I have seen this kind of spectacle recently or is it just my imagination…?”
Myra: “…Agree.”
It’s been a while since Cherry and Myra have such a conversationーーー
Don!! DOOOOOOOONN!!!
―――A huge blast sound came from the noble district… Yeah, no doubt. My intuition has hit the mark at time like this, I dare say that the noble district is where the main target isーーー
Ryne: “Hannes, don’t tell me, this is…”
Hannes: “Yeah, no doubt… Let’s go guys!! It’s time for our revenge match!!”
ーーーThat bastard is here!!
Rena: “With this, it’s over, yes?”
I kicked and tipped over the corpse of a soldier who was my opponent until a while ago……though, even if I said so, the ground around me cannot be seen anymore as a lot of soldier corpses are lying here and there. Hence, there’s no meaning for what I did.
Guard D: “What the hell is this girl…?”
Guard E: “She’s that wanted criminal…”
Guard D: “This girl?!”
The remaining soldiers are one, two, three……… Even though they came out like cockroaches at first, it’s now only 14 people, huh?
The rest of them also haven’t done anything and just examining the situation from a distance.
Rena: “As expected from a trained soldier, yes? The amount of muscle and its fibers are great.”
It’s realistic even to such a place, I see? Though, I always feel like this game has only a few so-called game-like processing in it.
Even though they didn’t drop anything while in battle, I can still steal and use my opponent’s weapons. I can even use their corpses as well, and I feel like the NPCs are thinking much like human beings.
Guard F: “YOUU?!!”
Oya? They did not do anything while I was dissecting the soldiers around the vicinity, so I tried making a human bomb. However, when I was still making it, someone tried rushing at me. He seems to be angry, yes?
Well, the timing is perfect so let’s throw the first human bomb which has just been completed and blow it up.
Guard D & F: “”ーーー!!””
DOOOOOOONN!!
……….They were blown off like bowling pins, yes?
I’m feeling a bit refreshed now.
Rena: “Now then, let’s take in the rest and goーーー”
Eleanor: “《Heat Ray》!”
Myra: “Killer Shot!”
―――Some nuisances got in the way when I tried to make haste, I see… Azabu-san immediately casted 《Wind Wall》 and saved me.
Huh? Have I seen them somewhere before…?
Rena: “? Did we meet somewhere before?”
Hannes: “!! Bastard….”
Ryne: “Hannes, don’t get provoked by her.”
I thought they are another soldiers or knights but it seems to be different. In fact, I feel like I have met them somewhere, but I can’t seem to remember anything…
Rena: “…Well, I might remember it while we’re fighting.”
I reached to that conclusion and threw the second and third human bombs.
Cherry: “《Holy Wall》”
I already know that they will defend against those as the true purpose of those are merely a distraction.
Ryne: “Shi-!!”
Rena: “Fun!!”
Hannes: “Ha!!”
Oh? They could defend against my thrust alongside the glass piece that I have thrown? These people are perhaps players, yes?…… They’re more fun than NPC soldiers.
Hannes: “We’re not what we used to be half a month ago now!”
Rena: “…Half a month ago?”
Hannes: “…Do you really not remember?”
Rena: “Unfortunately……”
Hannes: “I will fucking kill you!!”
We seemed to be acquainted somehow, but I do not remember anything. It’s natural for him to be angry, yes?
I will reflect on that.
Kellin: “How cruel…”
Cherry: “Yeah, it’s pitiful indeed…”
Myra: “Agree.”
While dodging the axe that was swung diagonally, I threw a glass piece from the flank towards the spear-user who was approaching from behind.
When I confirmed that a light metal sound has successfully rung, I immediately went through the axe user’s side and aimed at the rear guard butーーーWhile I was dodging the long sword from the swordsman that was drawing near with a jump similar to pole vaulting, I blocked the arrow that was just shot by the archer using an explosive ball which created a smoke screen and made the mage-oneesan lost sight of me.
Eleanor: “Kh!! Cancel!”
It’s wonderful that she can judge well. If she casted the magic with poor visibility, she could hit the nearby swordsman and the axe-user behind me.
Hannes: “Still the same incredible player skill, huh!?”
I dodged the approaching spear with the dagger’s haft immediately and aimed for the spear-user’s chest as well as evading the long sword at the same time.
I was trying to aim at his throat or heart as it is, but I cancelled it as an axe had been swung from below diagonally. Thus, I trapped the spear-user’s ankle and made him fall over.
Rena: “Oh my!”
Hannes: “Tch!”
The axe-user was afraid to hit the spear-user and forced to change his axe’s trajectory. I threw a piece of glass at him who was in an unstable posture, however it was obstructed by the approaching swordsman and the glass didn’t kill my target.
And because of perhaps the axe-user’s willpower as well, he twisted his body forcefully and as a result, the glass piece only pierced his shoulder.
Hannes: “Guh!!”
Because I was getting surrounded by the vanguard, I jumped using the spear-user who was trying to get up as a stool.
Let’s restrain the rear guard again with explosive balls while jumping over the swordsman’s head.
Eleanor: “《Flame Lance》!”
Cherry: “《Small Heal》!”
They managed to block them all with magic and heal the spear-user and axe-user, I see?
As expected, I should kill the healer first, huh…?
Player A: “Oi! Hannes’ party is fighting with Genocider-chan!”
Player B: “Seriously!? We will assist them too!”
Player C: “It’s festival timeeee!!”
Player D: “The thread will speed up again, yeah!”
More and more players are coming while we continued exchanging offense and defense, I see….
This is convenient.
