Chapter 73
Before arriving at the factory complex, I had a brief conversation with Parnello.
‘Parnello, did my father say that the reason why we move together is to prevent Corleone from being exposed to the villain alliance?’
‘Yes, he did. It’s no good for Corleone if they know that we have spies on their side.’
In other words, this mission focused on ‘rescue’ only.
If it went according to plan, we could escape as soon as we secured Rate but for some reason, I kept thinking that this rescue operation was a trap.
‘What if it really is their trap? Then our identity could be revealed eventually.’
‘There is certainly that possibility. Then… we have to annihilate them, don’t we?’
‘Annihilate?’
‘Yes. Just in case, Don gave me something separately, but it seems better to give it to you now after hearing your words.’
Parnello said that and handed me an orange revolver-shaped flare gun.
‘Anyway, as soon as we enter the complex, the communication will be cut off, so they will have a hard time leaking information about us to the outside. Then all we have to do is prevent them from getting out with the information.’
‘That’s when I need this?’
‘Yes. The Hitmen from Corleone who will come in a follow-up helicopter are 12 in total. They were originally the ones who had to prevent the enemy from escaping outside the factory complex… but if you fire this, all the Hitmen will gather there.’
In other words, it was an item that made them give up the surrounding siege and gather in one place, so I had to use it only when necessary.
‘I’ll do that.’
That’s what I got in my hand, the flare gun.
With this, all the Hitmen who were surrounding us would rush here.
“What the hell did you do?”
Blanca, who slowly regained her sight, asked.
“Not much, nothing.”
I said that and glanced at Rate on the upper floor.
Rate used her ability to control rats to cut off the rope that tied her while Blanca was focused on fighting me.
The reason why I played along with her useless talk and frontal combat from the beginning was to make her focus all her attention on me.
I carefully sent her a signal used by Corleone in a way that she could see and asked her to cut off the thread on the wall.
And the result was the explosion just before.
“You bastard! You Corleone bastards always did that! Right now──.”
────!!
At that moment, Blanca’s body was pushed back and a purple flash burst from her shoulder.
Although it was blocked by the aura that covered her whole body and could not hurt her, the shock was transmitted to her as it was.
“Who is talking and using magic…!”
────!!
Another flash exploded.
This time too, her body tilted back greatly but only slightly scorched. It looked vague to call it a wound.
“…Do you think I’ll flinch with this kind of magic?”
“Oh, I prepared more for that.”
I rotated my body and swung my fist to completely break the wall behind me.
Then men in black suits appeared at the same time from behind.
They had medium-sized weapons and magic floating in their hands.
“Take care of it.”
At the same time all of them started shooting at her
Although they couldn’t hurt her, they had enough firepower to make her hesitate and while she hesitated, I gathered my raging aura slowly.
“Sir. Are you okay?”
The leader of this follow-up unit came up to me and asked me while looking at Blanca.
He was an organization member who worked with me under the name of Eagle in Incheon Port in the past and also a person who sniped Blanca with magic just now.
“Yeah, so far. What about the enemies around?”
“We are narrowing down the siege and killing all visible enemies. Jackal is currently confronting Parnello.”
That meant that only Blanca could threaten us now.
“First secure Rate and treat her in the rear. Then back up according to the manual for counter-awakeners.”
“Yes, sir.”
The man answered without a hint of hesitation at my command.
He then gave orders to his surrounding organization members and slowly retreated.
“Cease fire!!”
As soon as he shouted, I ran towards Blanca and punched her.
-Kwang!
It was hard to believe that it was a sound caused by a collision of people.
“It’s a second battle.”
“Do you think you can call them? Aren’t you ashamed…?!”
“Shame? Well, I left it in my room before I came here. Thanks for letting me know.”
“This kid really!”
I kicked her again as she tried to get up and she rolled on the ground in a miserable state.
“You roll well, maybe because your aura looks like a beast.”
“…You were just beaten by me!”
“Did it look like that? If you feel it’s unfair, why don’t you call your friends too. Oh, maybe the rest are trapped in the cell?”
“…I’ll kill you.”
She looked at me with cold eyes, erasing her playful tone and smile.
But…
“It’s too late for that.”
─────! ─────! ─────!
Anti-tank sniper rifles, not ordinary rifles, exploded like thunder and continued to interfere with her.
If I keep attacking with support like this, I can subdue her soon so I tried to approach her to give her a definite blow.
The white fur-like aura that covered Blanca’s body exploded like a white light so I reflexively covered my eyes and pushed away what was coming.
I heard a sound of tearing from my sleeve.
“I swung it to cut it off…”
The situation was that the clothes themselves were not cut, but had scratches.
It was a unique grade armor that was torn by a single scratch, which meant that her physical ability had increased exponentially.
This was the appearance of the second phase that I saw in the game.
“By the look on your face, you’re quite surprised, aren’t you?”
Blanca moves her head slightly as she speaks.
At the same time, a bullet lodged behind her, sending shrapnel flying.
“You must be in a hurry, judging by the way you’re using it already.”
If her senses are good enough to dodge bullets traveling faster than the speed of sound, I can’t imagine how much her physical abilities have increased.
Her appearance has become more animal-like, and her senses have changed drastically.
“…I didn’t want to use this as much as possible, but since you’ve used all the cards you can use, I guess it doesn’t matter.”
I think she said she didn’t use it much in the game because of the recoil after using it.
If she had that much ability, it would be worth it.
“Oh, right.”
She slowly approached me.
“Did you know?”
The ceiling of the building filled with achromatic colors and from the hole in the middle of it, moonlight began to flow.
As if to illuminate the aria on the stage, Blanca, who stood in the middle of the spotlight given by the night, showed a noble atmosphere and slowly reached out to the sky.
“I never said I was alone.”
The moonlight that flowed down began to shine mysteriously on her head, and finally the moonlight that touched the ground slowly gathered and began to show something.
It was a wolf.
“Wolves are pack animals, after all.”
When the moonlight finally formed a wolf shape.
-Awooowowowow!!
Dozens of wolves howled together.
As if resonating with them, Blanca also howled.
It was a signal that she had entered the full phase 2.
[Support Sir right now!]
As soon as they appeared like a pack of wolves chasing prey, I heard the voice of the support team through my in-ear and at the same time countless bullets rained into the building.
But they avoided countless attacks by moving along the wall like wolves in the forest.
“Do you think you can catch my children with those toys?”
As if mocking that sight, Blanca bent her body forward for quadrupedal walking and showed her teeth as if she could attack me at any time with the wolves that surrounded me.
“The leader probably doesn’t care if you lose an arm or a leg. Well, then it’s over Corleone brat.”
She pulled her body back as if to jump out at any time and said to the wolves.
“──Bite.”
The storm begins.
In a situation where my brain was tired just by concentrating on their movements that were endlessly moving along the wall,
I…
“Thank you.”
“…What?”
I couldn’t help but curl up my mouth.
“I was actually waiting for you to call the wolves.”
To see these messages that came up in front of me.
[The number of enemies has increased sharply.]
[Bloodline Ability: 「Corleone」 is enhanced!]
The red storm that sprang from my body swallowed up the surroundings.
The size of my aura increased even more with [Villain Hunter] and [DisPater].
The building, which was full of white afterimages due to their movements until just now, was dyed red by my aura.
“What is this…?”
She shuddered and trembled at that strange sight.
The moon turned red and the wolves made of moonlight fell one by one and twisted their bodies.
[Bloodline Ability: 「Corleone」 dominates 「Moon Wolf」.]
[You have succeeded in dominating!]
[「Moon Wolf」 changes to 「Red Wolf」.]
[You get control of 「Red Wolf」.]
“My trump card.”
The attribute of my aura that I learned through the battle with ‘Ranger Club’ was domination.
And I have been using this aura to strengthen my body or dominate equipment to make it stronger.
But Vito Corleone in the game was different, his red aura that dominated everything around him, such as air, earth, and space.
It felt suffocating and slow to confront him in the same space. That was an absolute power that dominated even things without substance.
Then couldn’t I use my aura like that? It was a plan that started from this idea.
And Blanca was just right for that experiment.
When phase 2 starts, she summons Moon Wolves with her aura. It was a pattern that was too familiar to me.
I cut down her aura as much as possible with Corleone firepower and trapped her in a narrow space. Then I drew out [Bloodline: Corleone] ability to its fullest and wrapped it around her weakened minions and took control of them.
The result was very successful.
“Come here.”
When I whistled, the wolves ran towards me as if it was natural and started rubbing their faces on my legs.
They were cute when I saw them like this, even though they were hard to catch in the game.
“Ah…!”
Blanca just stared blankly at him with a bewildered expression.
“Are you sure you can stay still like that?”
I smirked as I said so, then pointed my index finger at her.
“Bite.”
Blanca’s expression turned to despair.
