Chapter 180 : Bikers (3)
‘Seeing that the corpses of desert warriors were found here, the desert's circumstances must not have been very good recently.’
Azor Great Forest is a place even veteran desert warriors are reluctant to enter, but that's not always the case.
The barren desert zone was always lacking in everything, and if the desert's circumstances beca extrely difficult, desert warriors risked danger and went up north to hunt demonic beasts in Azor Great Forest.
Demonic beasts are infinitely harmful existences, but depending on the situation, they were also targets that supplied food and demonic beast materials.
Generally, demonic beast at is known to be inedible for humans, but it was also true that the at of so demonic beasts with relatively weak toxicity could be eaten depending on the processing.
Actually, even in the Winter Castle, wasn't at quite abundant at every al, known or unknown to others?
Of course, if Conlan or others knew, they would be retching, but ignorance is bliss as they say.
‘Anyway, for such desert warriors to be annihilated.......’
Desert warriors also know very well about the danger of the Azor Great Forest.
That was also why they usually almost never entered in the first place.
However, once they decided to enter, the desert tribes would have also composed the very elite to enter the Great Forest.
But what does it an that desert warriors have beco cold corpses?
‘They weren't done in by demonic beasts.’
Along with deduction, examining the corpses gave certainty.
In the first place, if they were done in by demonic beasts, the fact that corpses remained itself was unnatural, and not insignificant traces of magic were seen on the remaining corpses.
This was done by humans.
‘I found it properly.’
That human corpses still remain in the middle of the Great Forest teeming with demonic beasts ans not much ti has passed since they died.
Then, the phantom of the Lion revealed itself before my eyes.
[Lord Vell.]
‘Did you find it?’
[Yes. I feel traces of Demonic energy in this vicinity.]
‘Project where the traces lead to my eyes.’
[Yes, understood.]
Light Spirit Magic unfolded, and magic capable of tracking traces of Demonic energy manifested in my eyes.
I feel it anew, but the subordinate contract with Lion was a very beneficial contract for .
To the extent that if Lion hadn't been here, it wouldn't be strange at all if I were rolling around as a corpse by now.
‘Is it over there?’
The direction the traces of Demonic energy led was unusual.
If I didn't mistake the direction, what was over there was none other than the Dragon's Grave.
‘It wouldn't be a coincidence.’
It seed I had to hurry.
***
Azor Great Forest boasts a gloomy and dismal atmosphere to the point of being called the Demonic Realm of the south.
Fittingly, not a few demonic beasts inhabited the Great Forest, but for so reason, the inside of the Great Forest was only quiet.
‘I don't feel the presence of demonic beasts.’
Slowly, I wore the Plague Mask set I had packed in the backpack in advance.
From now on, there would be many tis I have to use firearms depending on the situation, and there was no need to reveal my face unnecessarily.
‘Of course, if I use firearms, I shouldn't leave witnesses though.’
Wearing the Plague Mask set could be seen as preparing for the worst-case scenario.
Having finished all preparations, I advanced to the center of Azor Great Forest where the Dragon's Grave is.
The more I advanced to the center, the greater the sense of heterogeneity beca.
‘I advanced to the center, yet I don't see the figures of demonic beasts.......’
Near the Dragon's Grave, the very center of Azor Great Forest, countless demonic beasts inhabit.
Because the heterogeneous energy the Dragon's Grave emits naturally attracts demonic beasts.
But despite getting close to the center, the Great Forest was extrely quiet.
As if all the demonic beasts that were in this vicinity had disappeared.
‘Whatever it is, it's not an ordinary matter.’
I don't know if it's Bikers, the Twilight Troupe, or a third force plotting sothing here.
But what is clear is that sothing is happening centering on the Dragon's Grave right now.
As I headed towards the center of the Great Forest hiding my presence as much as possible with Spirit Magic, not long after, I felt a human presence.
At the felt presence, I stealthily hid my body between the trees.
“Ugh...... How long do we have to do this crap?”
“Just endure a little more. They say it'll end soon.”
The ones who revealed themselves were two n appearing to be players.
Judging by the equipnt worn or the felt atmosphere, their approximate level was between Level 5 and Level 6.
Considering just the level itself, it could be seen as a level similar to , but if I ambush, it was a level I could suppress without difficulty.
“If that bastard caught it himself, he should bring it himself, what kind of attitude is it telling us to bring corpses?”
“He said he couldn't carry that many corpses alone.”
“Does it make sense for the two of us to go get them? From what I hear, there are not just one or two corpses.”
“It ans bring as many as we can for now. You know? The demonic beasts nearby have already been all offered as sacrifices. Just then, sacrifices ca on their own feet, so it beca comfortable for us.”
“Comfortable my ass. If they are already corpses anyway, isn't their value as sacrifices not that great?”
“That is true but...... what can we do? We just do as we are told.”
“F*ck.”
The players who revealed themselves exchanged words unknown between themselves, but I could guess without difficulty what the corpses they were talking about were.
‘Seems like they are talking about the corpses of desert warriors I discovered.’
Besides, judging by the words that they offered demonic beasts as sacrifices, the reason demonic beasts were not seen nearby seed to be because of them as well.
‘It ans they are plotting sothing by offering carcasses of demonic beasts and humans as sacrifices.’
Whatever it was, it seed certain I ca to the right place.
‘First, I suppress them and dig out information.’
Finishing my contemplation, I analyzed the targets.
Seeing that the felt Demonic energy was weak, they didn't seem to have absorbed that many Fragnts.
In other words, I couldn't completely suppress them with the magic of Self-Entanglent.
‘First, it would be better to end one's life with an ambush and suppress the remaining one to dig out information.’
Having decided the rules of engagent, I activated the Weapon Summon trait.
Because there was a weapon fitting for this situation just in ti.
[Activating ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[Summoning ‘Lv.1’ Weapon.]
[Summoning Weapon, ‘Colt Garrison B-09’.]
The Weapon Mastery ability basically granted a 200% power increase along with different special effects for each weapon I possess.
──────────────
[Weapon Mastery]
Increases the power of weapons summoned through ‘Weapon Summon’ by 200%.
Also, grants special effects according to each weapon.
──────────────
──────────────
[Colt Garrison B-09] [Lv.1]
Removes noise generated when firing.
Also, removes the appearance of the fired bullet.
──────────────
The special effect granted to Colt Garrison B-09 is becoming able to fire silent, formless bullets.
I hadn't been using it well recently due to lack of firepower in the case of Colt Garrison B-09 anyway, but thanks to this, an excellent use for it was created.
‘Then.......’
Holding the Colt Garrison B-09 in my hand, I aid it at the player.
‘Lion, assist.’
[Yes.]
Demonic energy dwelled in the Colt Garrison B-09, and a Demonic Bullet was completed.
Click─
Gunshot did not ring out.
The trajectory of the bullet was also not revealed.
Silent and Formless.
A bullet that is no exaggeration to say exists for assassination harbored Demonic energy and burst the head of one of the players.
If the player was wearing armor like a helt on the head, maybe, but in a state exposing the head defenselessly, they couldn't withstand a bullet of 200% power even harboring Demonic energy.
“......Huh?”
Watching his comrade's head suddenly bursting away, the player's expression was dyed with astonishnt.
Amidst the blood scattering everywhere, I had no intention of leaving the remaining player alone.
Click─
Along with the trigger pulled once again, the right arm of the remaining player flew away.
“Aack─”
Before the player could scream, I leaped at once and covered the player's mouth.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
“Be quiet, if you don't want your head to burst away just like the guy next to you.”
As I spoke, thrusting the gun muzzle, the eyes of the player, who realized what the identity of the thing that burst his comrade's head just a mont ago was, opened wide.
I activated the authority of the Orb of Water and ford a barrier between and the player.
Adding to that, I covered the Barrier of Water with Demonic energy and completed a perfect temporary secret room.
“From now on, you will have to answer very carefully to what I ask, if you don't want your head to fly away. Understood? If you understand, nod your head.”
Nod, nod.
Only then did I let go of the hand covering the player's mouth.
Perhaps thanks to the Barrier of Water mixed with Demonic energy currently surrounding and the player, the player did not do useless things like screaming.
“Huff, huff.......”
“You, are you Bikers?”
“Ye, yes.”
I found them properly.
“What were you doing here?”
“Th, that is......!”
“Seems you don't find your remaining arm precious. Ah, should I blow away your leg first?”
“N, no! I will tell you! Everything!”
Apart from how strong a body and ability players possess, their core is actually modern people who grew up like flowers in a greenhouse in modern civilization.
Naturally, there was no way such people could overco a threat where their lives were at stake.
“Here we were...... offering demonic beasts and humans as sacrifices and performing human sacrifice.”
“As expected, was that it?”
This part was sothing I had already confird directly, so there was nothing new.
The important thing is Bikers' purpose.
“What are you aiming for by even performing human sacrifice in a place like this?”
“Th, I don't know that well either! It's true!”
“You were following without even knowing what you were doing? You want to believe that?”
“Re, really! I just did it because the guild told to! It's real!”
The player poured out fervent speech as if he was unfairly accused.
I couldn't know if those words were sincere or not, but for now, I decided to squeeze until squeezed out.
“By the looks of it, you intend to talk only when you can no longer walk.”
As I brought the gun muzzle to the player's knee, the player's face turned pale white.
No matter if possessing a strong player's body, as a modern person, the fear a gun possesses couldn't be easily erased.
“W, Weapon! They said they are resurrecting an ancient weapon sleeping here!”
“Weapon?”
“Yes, yes! I know nothing other than that! It's true!”
It's an obvious story, but if there was sothing like an ancient weapon in the Dragon's Grave, I would have known long ago.
However, all that was in the Dragon's Grave as I knew it was bones all rotten and crumbled long ago just like its na.
‘Wait...... was it that.’
I think I know what the Bikers bastards' purpose is.
Why did those guys co all the way to the Dragon's Grave in the middle of the Great Forest and are doing this crap.
Also what they want to gain with that.
“I roughly understand.”
“Th, then I'll be goi─”
“Yeah, get going.”
I pulled the trigger.
Taking small Ascension Stone Fragnt pieces protruding from the corpses of the two players drooping powerlessly, I stood up from the spot.
‘The scale of the matter will be bigger than I thought.’
By the looks of it, when this job is finished, I think I'll have to recalculate the request cost from the Bellerophon bastards.
