I checked the dots on the map floating in my field of vision, listened closely to the sounds captured by the sound-collecting sensors, and the only ally in the surroundings was Vee, and the rest were Reiner, who had lost his right arm, and five Demon Steel Soldiers minions.
The number of enemy reinforcements trying to enter the venue was 12――no, it was 11 with Vie beheading one just now. Another window monitor that only I could see was floating in my field of vision. Typhoon-K’s first-person view with the Crown Prince and others on board was projected on that screen. It’s unexpectedly difficult to control Typhoon-K in the corner of your consciousness while fighting.
Whether they were on patrol, or whether they were rushing to Flyhigh or another place, the group of knights and mercenaries on guard were surprised at the iron box running with a low roaring heavy engine and reproached it for running. They blocked the street and stood in the way. But, we can’t stop. Driving while blaring horns at the mercenaries guarding the mansions of the Central Knights and Aristocrats, who could be friends or foes, they thankfully retreated from the streets while the vehicle rushed to the residence of Duke Barga.
The instrument panel of the driver’s seat, which is reflected in the window monitor, has a monitor that displays the image of the rear passenger compartment. It is also possible to have wireless communication between the driver’s seat and the passenger compartment, but due to the specifications of the VMB, it is done by voice chat, so even if I can send my voice to the passenger compartment, I won’t be able to hear Ashley’s or other passengers’ voice.
On the small monitor, I could see Sharle-san clinging to the chair in fear of the shaking crew compartment, and Rachel, who was boarding as an escort, rolling onto the Crown Prince’s chest and onto Duke Barga’s feet.
“We will soon arrive at Duke Barga’s residence. Please be patient for a while longer.”
My voice suddenly flowed out into the crew compartment, and everyone onboard was surprised, and they looked around to find me, but there was no way I was there with them.
“Your Excellency Duke, there was a familiar face among the assailants――a member of ‘Rafflesia’ called Reiner. In addition, the conversation with him revealed a connection between the clan and the dark guild “Cactus”. Please use this information as you may after arriving at the mansion――”
For now, let’s just tell him what I know. I saw Duke Barga nodding, which means he’ll put the info into consideration when planning for the next move.
As for me, my first priority is to quell the confusion in Flyhigh.
Both ends of the six-foot clubs of the five Demon Steel Soldiers emit a high level of heat, and it would be dangerous to block their attacks directly――I accessed my inventory and summoned a new ballistic shield.
Including laser attacks, ballistic shields should be able to block most attacks from the Demon Steel Soldier――unless there is an attack method that has not been shown yet.
“Chih! What the hell are you! Why can you use <Skills> within the barrier?!”
`
“That’s right, ‘barrier ignoring Shaft’――no, ‘Disguised Schwartz’”
Seeing that the large ballistic shield was summoned out of nowhere, both Reiner and Vee raised their doubts.
However, I also had the same question….
“Then Vee, where did you get that long sword? No, I didn’t even see you during the banquet, which means, you used <Skill> as well, didn’t you?”
The thing in Vee’s hand is different from the sword wielded by the Central Knights and that of the attackers. She’s wielding a black long sword.
“There’s no way I can use <Skills> within the barrier, I’m different from you. Frank-sama will be participating with Emeralda-sama. There’s no way I would miss seeing his majestic figure and brilliant demeanor at this elegant dinner party! Therefore, I’ve been hiding under the tablecloth in front of the empty hall!”
Vee, who was standing around against the eleven people from outside, stepped back behind me and stared at each other’s black clothes and Demon Steel Soldiers while standing back to back. She pointed to the table and loudly confessed to her perversion.
“I-I see… so you’ve been there even before the opening…”
Let’s put aside this perverted woman’s behavior…
“Then, how come you can use <Skill>?”
“…..probably the same reason why that Demon Steel Soldier uses something that seems to be a <Skill>, I guess.”
“What?”
Even if I say “the same reason”, there’s no way Vee knows the root of it. However, she seemed to have something in mind.
“Same…you said?! Shaft, are you saying that what you did was the effect of a magic weapon!”
Magic weapon? Come to think of it, did Reiner say that when he first launched an attack? No――I think I heard those words from someone else some time ago…
Nah, I don’t have time to remember that now――
Two Demonic Steel Soldiers stick out their left hands, deploy laser units from their wrists, and their gun muzzles immediately glow red――.
“Evade, Vee!”
I warned Vee who was standing back to back with me and at the same time dodged sideways with a slide jump. Irradiation-type laser, unlike the single-shot counterpart, is harder to dodge. I had to keep moving since the two lasers swung around as if to chase me. Meanwhile, I peeked from the opening on the upper part of the ballistic shield, which I kept raised up just in case――
I aligned the cross-hair at the end of the front sight with the chest of the demon steel soldier and fired twice. Suppressing the recoil of the Desert Eagle on the top of the shield, I landed three more shots at the same time. This caused the demon steel soldier to lean back. its laser was also raised to the ceiling, piercing through it rather easily.
While blocking the other laser with the ballistic shield, I jumped further, kicked the wall, flew just above the ceiling, and fired two shots at the Demon Steel Soldier directly below. That’s seven shots. Even with .50 AE bullets, the Demon Steel Soldier just bowed back. Its movement couldn’t be stopped completely.
However, I can feel it――the number of bullets fired, the behavior of the Demon Steel Soldier, and its existence can only be thought of as a mob.
The Demon Steel Soldier should fall shortly――
As soon as I landed, I used the ballistic shield to cover myself, then summoned a magazine from the inventory and reloaded. Even though I was able to take out the firearm with just my consciousness, I still had to manually replace the magazine.
No matter how much the assimilation phenomenon progresses, the ammunition capacity will never become infinite, nor will it automatically reload. No matter how far I go, I’m an FPS player, so I can be sure of that.
“This one should be――a Kill!”
Keeping myself hidden behind the ballistic shield, I once again aimed. This time at the head. The bullet fired from the hand cannon hit the demon steel soldier in the head, vaporizing its head. The next moment, the center of the scale armor rapidly expanded into red――
“It’s gonna explode!”
Realizing what would happen the moment I noticed the change, I rushed to Vee who was still busy fighting the black-clothed men. I grabbed her from behind and immediately did a slide jump and a strafe to escape outside. At the same time, we were still in midair due to my strafe, I confirmed the appearance of the Demon Steel Soldier as it exploded with explosive swirling flames.
“Kuh――!”
I quickly raised back the ballistic shield, right in time as a strong blast surged toward the place where Vee and I hid, breaking through the crumbling wall of Flyhigh from within. Both of us were knocked to the courtyard, to witness the building that is Flyhigh finally collapsing――
Activating self-destruction the moment it could no longer fight――moreover, what a destructive power. But, it made me certain… those things are not native to this world. They are the same as me, from another world――a product of a game system.
Is there a Trespasser other than me? Is it Reiner? No, if he is, then he should’ve at least recognized my guns. Besides, Reiner referred to both my firearms and the Demon Steel Soldier as magic weapons. This means that somewhere――someone is producing these Demon Steel Soldiers――or something else.
It’s yet unknown whether the ‘Rafflesia’ has a Trespasser among their ranks, or whether it’s a descendant that inherit the system via <Pedigree Skill>.
On the other hand, defeating the remaining four of the demon steel soldiers won’t be easy.
Blowing away the rubble of the collapsing fly height, one by one――the surviving Demon Steel Soldier emerged. And then there was Reiner, who was standing up even though his black clothes were scorched and the half of his body that was holding his lost right arm was badly burned.
So stubborn, aren’t you…
Perhaps the effect of the barrier that sealed <Skills> and <Magic> had disappeared, as I could see Reiner’s left hand shining faintly.
“Nnhh….”
Vee, who had fainted from the impact of the explosion and being blown outside, seemed to have regained her consciousness.
“Are you okay, Vee? No injuries――”
window.yaContextCb.push(()=>{Ya.adfoxCode.createAdaptive({ownerId:260971,containerId:’adfox_163284795066391493′,params:{p1:’cquve’,p2:’gxmp’}},[‘desktop’],{tabletWidth:830,phoneWidth:480,isAutoReloads:false})})
“Hya! What are you doing! Where are you touching! No, why are you hugging me!”
What are you… I’m just putting my hands around her waist…
“Thi. this is―― ’Pervert Shaft’!! No―― ‘Lusty Beast Schwartz’!! In spite of the situation, you actually took the chance to defile my body that I have dedicated to Frank-sama!!”
I let go of Vee, who was raging on my chest, and while listening to the consecutive volley of rash words, I thought about the battle after this――how to defeat the Demon Steel Soldiers, but there was only one thing that crossed my mind…
This perverted woman… is actually a maiden!
