Episode 43. The prince enjoys hunting.
====================
* *
Beep-beep-beep!
The bell rang with a whistle sound.
There was an emergency at the fortress.
The Green Cross team, wearing green capes and masks, was preparing to go to war.
From the window of the training hall, I saw Hilda and Raphael leading the Green Cross Corps and leaving the castle.
What’s going on?
At that time, there was a knocking sound.
When I opened the door and checked, a dwarf was standing there.
He also gave a light greeting.
“It looks like there is an emergency in the mining area.”
“In the mine?”
“My colleague is trapped, but there won’t be any trouble. “If Lycans are powerful monsters, Dwarves are demihumans with tough vitality.”
The dwarf burst into laughter.
He seemed to be hiding his agitation, but the cold sweat running down his forehead made him look quite nervous.
“But aren’t you overdoing it? “I hear a loud noise in the training hall…”
The dwarf closed his mouth.
I made an awkward expression as I looked at the training hall.
“Oh sorry.”
I put my hand on the dwarf’s head and tapped it.
In some ways, he is a middle-aged man who is much older than me.
Since he was short and just the right size to put his hand up, I ended up stroking the dwarf’s head without realizing it.
“I guess I can’t use the gym anymore.”
I expected to hear the words, ‘Isn’t this right?’, but the dwarf was mesmerized and took one step at a time, looking at the training ground.
“What have you done?”
I looked at the training ground.
The training ground was in ruins.
It was cut, cut, broken and dented.
At this level, it seemed better to tear it down and rebuild rather than repair it.
“I was just experimenting with magic for a moment.”
“Magic?”
The dwarf looked around the training ground. Still, he opened his eyes and continued speaking.
“This is not a sign of magic. Handling weapons… “Where did the weapons go?”
The weapons in the training ground were not here.
because? Because I took care of it.
Because of the hard work that went into coming here, I put a lot of it in the item window.
I wish I could take home some items for my hard work here.
There are a lot of weapons here anyway.
I pretended to avoid the dwarf’s gaze.
“Oh, by the way, I’m trying to find some new items, so I need your help.”
I smiled and said to the dwarf.
“Aren’t they making muskets here too?”
“Yes, that is true. But even if we made it, the performance is…”
“I wish we could give you that.”
The dwarf frowned.
The dwarves quickly prepared muskets.
There are many different types.
“These are muskets created jointly by a wizard, an alchemist, and us.”
One with an elongated gun barrel, one with a rough muzzle, and one with an elongated magazine area next to the barrel.
Everyone was full of personality.
In the case of dwarves, whatever they made, they made it with craftsmanship.
They focused on making even simple decorations ‘genuine’ with maximum efficiency.
“As you know, these are for practical purposes, but they are also just decorations. For collectors, it is simply a wall hanging, and for ladies who have mastered magic, it is only used for diet purposes.”
The dwarf glanced at me while explaining.
“But it would be a different story if you were the prince. “He was the one who shot the vampire from a whopping 400 meters away.”
I lifted up the muskets.
It has the unique colors of a musket.
Since it is an object filled with magic, you can discern its capabilities with your own eyes.
[Shrapnel] [Barrage] [Sniping].
Muskets made in various configurations.
It’s quite attractive.
“Good.”
I stroked the muskets one by one with satisfaction. Then I grabbed them one by one and put them into the item window.
Looking at that, the dwarf was filled with embarrassment.
“No way, all the things in the training hall…”
Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!
The bell rings.
The dwarves pressed their temples.
“Those guys these days are so damn…”
The dwarf looked at me, cleared his throat, and corrected himself.
“They’re making quite a fuss.”
“Are you a lycan?”
“Because the vampires escaped from the Holy Empire, they probably think they have come to their own world.”
“…”
“They probably attacked the village because the fortress is quiet. Even if you set up a roadblock and provide security, it’s not enough to stop them. “To dry up their seeds…”
the dwarf continued to speak to me.
“We have requested support from the Seonghwangbeopguk. But the prince came.”
It’s like you’re asking me for help.
“The Red Cross will not move unless it is ordered by the Prince. “When I heard it, he said that the prince’s security was number one.”
Of course I can step forward. However, there is a Red Cross, so there is no need for me to step forward…
“Of course, we will move too, but we are so slow…”
I was in a cold sweat.
“The people are in danger.”
“…”
“Ah, the Red Cross could easily get rid of them.”
The dwarf looked up at me.
He spoke with a bright look in his eyes that was not typical of a middle-aged man of short stature.
“Don’t you want to try the musket?”
* *
It was quite rare for lycans to attack a village with an outer wall.
“Everyone evacuate to the fort!”
However, it was safe to say that there was no one to stop them now that the vampires were gone.
Each military unit is deployed in each village.
However, ordinary soldiers could not deal with the Lycans.
All they can do is evacuate the villagers into the castle.
The lycans even climbed the high exterior walls with their claws and invaded the village.
The outer wall door was opened and zombified beasts were spread throughout the city.
“Avoid everyone!”
Ellis evacuated the villagers, escorted by soldiers.
“Clergy! “The child is hurt!”
A woman who appeared to be a mother approached with a child and pleaded with Ellis.
When the child started crying, Ellis stroked the child’s head with a friendly smile.
“are you okay. “I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt.”
Ellis treated the injured child.
At that time, she felt an uneasy feeling.
When I looked forward, there were zombified beasts running fast.
ㅡKaaaaaaaaaa!
It screamed and attacked the soldiers.
“Elise, run away…!”
The soldiers hesitated and retreated.
On the roof, a lycan glared at Ellis.
I sniffed.
The lingering scent of holy power coming from Ellis distorted my expression.
The Lycan jumped from the roof and attacked Ellis with its claws raised.
Ellis looked up in surprise.
“danger···!”
I took a breath and lowered my posture.
He stepped on the ground, jumped up, grabbed the Lycan’s head, and slammed it straight down toward the floor.
thud!
My head hits the ground.
The ground was broken.
The soldiers let out exclamations. I was amazed that a young girl had this much strength.
As Ellis sighed in relief, the Lycan’s eyes turned to glare at her.
“uh?”
Ellis quickly got away from the lycan.
The lycan stood up unharmed even though its head was hit. On the contrary, they even laugh at it as if it is funny.
He stuck out his teeth and growled. When the lycan tried to attack once again, its head exploded.
The 2m long body fell to its knees and fell to the floor.
‘Magic attack?’
Ellis looked around but couldn’t find the wizard who had used magic.
Her gaze turned upward.
The steeple where the bell that rings in an emergency is located. A human shadow appeared above it.
And the distance is up to 500m.
Who is it?
I felt the energy of holy power again.
Soon, bullets of holy power were fired one after another.
A flash of light pierced the beasts.
Holy power spread around the pierced dead.
The dead people seemed to be uncomfortable with such holy power and hesitated, widening their distance.
A bullet caused by sexual power. And long-distance sniping.
Ellis recalled the Ronia incident she heard about at the imperial palace.
-The prince shot the vampire count.
“Certainly, Prince?”
Ellis looked at the spire with surprised eyes.
* *
“Great!”
I was truly surprised.
It is a dwarven musket.
Each and every shot contained heaviness.
Holy power consumption is also much less than before.
Although the power was intentionally reduced to increase the number of uses, shooting that was only possible at 400m against the Vampire Count was now possible at 500m.
Of course, since it has great power and is a long-distance shot, the recoil is severe.
Normally, I would have collapsed on the floor every time I fired a shot.
However, if you strengthen your body with sexual power, it is almost like there is no recoil.
I breathed into the long-barreled musket.
He then injected holy power into his eyes to widen his field of vision.
[Uses divine energy.]
[Temporarily advances the weapon.]
[Accuracy increases. The ‘Piercing’ skill is granted.]
It has a good sound.
[Mysterious] gives me skills I didn’t have before.
Even though zombies are simple beasts, they are fast enough to deal with even regular soldiers.
The problem now is the lycans.
As long as you subdue them, there will be no problem.
It is difficult to secure a view because it is between buildings.
But if you can see just a little gap…
I pulled the trigger.
The Lycan’s head exploded as he peeked his head out.
By smelling the reverberation of death, I was able to determine their location. With my vision strengthened by my holy power, I sniped them as soon as I spotted them.
As long as there were no obstacles within at least 500m, the undead were simple prey to me.
“Your brother is right. “You can definitely enjoy it.”
Luan was right.
It has a good hitting feel when hunting animals.
With each shot, their heads exploded or their bodies were pierced. When I see that, I feel like all the stress I’ve built up until now is melting away.
Above all, concerns about weapons have disappeared. Now all that remains is to relieve the stress.
The undead gather perhaps because they feel threatened.
The target was me on top of the spire.
They took cover between buildings and approached quickly.
“Hey, I’m popular. Isn’t that right?”
This is a question that can only be seen as shameless.
In response to my question, a Red Cross soldier wearing a bird-beaked mask spoke.
“Even the god of death would fall in love with you, the prince.”
“I don’t like being loved by God if it goes too far.”
I worked up an appetite.
In fact, it feels like an enemy has been defeated.
The Red Cross asked.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“It’s dangerous. So shouldn’t you protect me?”
The Red Cross bowed its head at my words.
“If it’s an order…”
The Red Cross troops above and below the spire roof had their eyes glowing red under their masks.
“I will sacrifice my soul to protect you.”
“Great!”
I put the sniper musket into the item window and took out another musket.
It’s definitely a good weapon. However, depending on performance, the cooldown time for adding holy power is too long.
It is different from the muskets of the world I was in previously. It is a musket filled with magic. A magic rifle from another world that runs on magical energy rather than a single shot.
The ultimate magic weapon created using only holy power and mental images without the need for magazines or ammunition.
“Take your time. “Two minutes is enough.”
“I will follow your orders!”
Red Cross troops raised all kinds of weapons, including spears, shovels, sickles, and maces.
He raised his shield to block the front line and assisted from the back.
ㅡKaaaaaaaa!
The Red Cross hunted the undead, pushing them away with shields and cutting them with all kinds of weapons.
Zombified animals were not a problem.
It’s the lycans that are the problem.
The agile lycans pushed away the Red Cross shield.
The Red Cross widened the distance and cut off the Lycan’s arms and legs with agile movements.
“Restriction!”
“Referee!”
And through collaboration, he overpowered the Lycan and cut him to pieces.
Gradually the beasts gathered together. The number was overwhelmingly large.
Hundreds of beasts, dozens of lycans.
No matter how skilled the Red Cross is in fighting, it is not enough to stop the people coming from all directions.
[Use sacred energy.]
[Temporarily advance the equipment.]
[Amplify the ‘storage quantity’ of sexual power in the equipment.]
[Advance the equipment and grant the ‘Spy’ skill.]
This is a message window echoing in my head.
“Gaia.”
I said a prayer.
He breathed into the long magazine.
“Please give me the strength to subdue the dead.”
I rolled my eyes and looked at the dead one by one. And the Red Cross corps mixed in there were distinguished.
It’s hard to fit.
Who cares? Just shoot them all!
“With your power, you can bring salvation to believers…”
Bless those who have life.
“Please rain judgment on heretics.”
Curse the dead.
I aimed my gun at the lycans and zombified beasts.
As I grew excited about what would happen in the future, the corners of my mouth naturally curled up.
“It’s beast hunting.”
I pulled the trigger.
A whirlpool erupts from the muzzle of the gun. Holy power erupts and splits apart.
An explosion was heard.
A barrage of light bullets rained down.
It didn’t matter whether it was friendly or enemy.
It pierced through the zombie and reached the ground. Even the Red Cross was penetrated by bullets of holy power.
The bullet that penetrated hit the ground and spewed out cloudy smoke.
Bullets of light are shining brightly in the dark night.
The noise that made my eardrums explode and the strong sound I felt in my hands gave me a strange sense of pleasure.
It was impossible to see due to the hazy smoke.
Does not matter. Just shred it!
I burst out laughing.
Okay, I’ll relieve you of all the stress I’ve worked through so far!
vampire? Is it successful? Gaia? I’ll do for you what I couldn’t do for those damn bastards!
I can hear the cries of the dead.
Cry out in pain.
The sound slowly faded away with the reverberation of death.
A barrage of bullets surrounded by holy power rained down, purifying the dead.
Although the power is low, it is a continuous attack with multiple bullets.
Hundreds of bullets were fired, and all the holy power stored in the magazine was depleted.
When I pulled the trigger, there was only a ‘clunk’ sound.
I feel dizzy, perhaps because I used too much holy power.
Hot heat flowed from the musket, which fired like a machine gun.
The cloudy smoke gradually disappeared.
The Red Cross members who were confronting the dead under the spire were startled and caressed their bodies.
It must be surprising that a bullet of holy power passed through them.
But they will have no influence.
A cure for the living is like a curse for the dead.
The Red Cross looked away.
The burning dead.
Among them, there are still some that have lost their limbs and are barely crawling.
I could feel the eyes of the Red Cross who were assisting me next to me on the spire roof.
Even though I knew that, I lost my mind.
I sat down and laughed heartily.
“Haha! This is God’s blessing. “You bastards!”
“…”
“Oh, this is not an insult to God. “You know, right?”
I didn’t insult God, so it’ll be okay.
I thought that and burst into laughter for a while.
Most of the reverberations of death that had gathered in the city have disappeared.
The soldiers here at Hilda Estate will take care of the rest.
I grinned as I looked at the dead people crawling with their limbs gone.
“The hunt is over, you damn bastards.”
