“Do not let your guard down! They will come in bulk.... again!” Sabole shouted from her position on the rock with Nefe. They both agreed to release fire arrow magic again – towards the horde of monsters that kept coming in irregular formations.
By running to lure some of the cabrites and minotaurs to a predetermined point and letting dozens of the monsters chase after him, Nio managed to get himself besieged. Although it was considered an unreasonable strategy, but Nio definitely had his own tactics to deal with this situation. Nio and dozens of such monsters were among the huge trees that created many hideouts. It makes them and themselves unable to get out of this area easily, because of the many obstacles in the form of thorny shrubs or dangerous plants.
Thanks to the four explorer girls, Nio was able to figure out the kind of plants that did no harm to humans and plants that could kill humans and monsters easily. In essence, Nio took advantage of the Labyrinth conditions that contained many dangerous plants even with just one touch. Although there are not many, broad-leaved plants that can make human and monster skin even blister growing where Nio is. And he would take advantage of the advantage to fight all the monsters that surrounded him.
The leaves of the dangerous plant are called ‘muchetura’, and are able to make human skin and monsters blister as they are exposed to burns of 2 degrees. So that it can damage the outer skin layer to the inner skin layer.
Nio tried not to touch the leaves of the plant shaped like the taro leaves. Unfortunately, even though there were less than a hundred monsters surrounded him, Nio's eyes remained fixed on the girls who fought against the monsters that came after the appearance of the monster named ‘raj’ minotaur.
Nio quickly made the initial conclusion that it was the giant minotaur that summoned various monsters to attack them. Nio now holds a gun in his left hand and carambit in his right. Nio is an ambidextrous type person, as well as a good shooter and melee fighter by taking advantage of these advantages.
“Only the remaining two magazines, while their number is approximately fifty-five.”
Nio thought about the combined number of minotaurs and cabrites that surrounded him at the moment, and there would probably be additional monsters joining his fight. Typically, pistols and mitraliur pistols use magazines with the same bullets, and contain about twenty to thirty bullets with projectile calibers of 9 and 10mm.
Nio smiled half-heartedly, unable to fully rely on long-range weapons such as pistols and rifles when dealing with enemies whose numbers were not comparable to his own. Then, in his heart the man began to pray while clasping his two weapons tightly, pleading with the god he trusted to give himself strength and salvation.
“Roooooooaaaaaarghhhhhh..!!!” the minotaur king again let out his roar, and made the behavior of the monsters smaller than him change.
“Looks like they were controlled by the creature,” cold sweat ran down Hassan's cheeks after hearing the roar and seeing the form of the monster he had only seen for the first time during his assignment in this world.
“Monster who has reached the level of ‘raj’ is able to control other monsters, so your conclusion is not wrong, his subordinate Nio (Hassan).” Kardas said as he tightened the handle on his sword.
“... By the way, is Nio capable of fighting alone?” he continued after seeing dozens of minotaurs and cabrites besieging Nio.
“Better don't underestimate a veteran like him!” hassan replied while shooting at every goblin who tried to attack him with their daggers. Each of his 7.62mm projectiles fired was able to penetrate the bodies of small goblins that moved quite nimble.
The minotaur king was really like the leader of the monsters that attacked them. Dozens, or maybe hundreds of monsters like small goblins to minotaurs measuring two meters plunged into the battle field against the humans who were on the tenth floor of this Labyrinth.
Hevaz slashed dozens of large goblins and minotaurs at once, then created a rain of body parts as a result of his action. Hevaz is a lightning attack specialist, so fast he is able to split the bodies of five large goblins in less than two seconds. The weapons and tools that the monsters used to attack were scattered amid pools of blood and pieces of goblin and minotaur meat. However, the stinging foul and fishy scent spread in the air and made the sense of smell uncomfortable.
On the other side of the fight, Sakuya slashed at the neck of every cabrite that blocked her path towards the minotaur king was located. Dozens of goat-headed monster heads scattered on the ground, and created a scene that was not wearing other than the extremely fishy scent of blood. In addition to the cabrit, Sakuya also had to face the minotaur and the big goblins that attacked her with disgusting faces.
During the fight with the monsters that inhabit the tenth floor, Sakuya argues that some races of wild monsters have a tendency to rape weak human girls. That was what he saw now, saliva dripping from the jaws of the entire large goblin that surrounded him and made Sakuya's stomach churn. He wondered if the monsters the Alliance tamed for war had the same tendency.
“Nefe, we will pave the way for Miss Sakuya,” Sabole said to Nefe beside her.
“They are weak on the left side, we better attack that part,” Nefe responded.
From the rock they were walking on, Nefe and Sabole were able to see most of the battleground, including the massacre Hevaz had committed. As magician-class explorers as well as accurate ranged attack experts, they were allowed to be in the back row in the fight. Like Hassan, their job is to carry out protective attacks and finish off any monsters that approach their comrades or themselves.
Finished chanting the spell, Sabole and Nefe aimed their wands and both hands forward.
The goblins, cabrites, and minotaurs that were trying to attack Sakuya suddenly became half frozen. Half their bodies were immobilized, and Sakuya was very grateful for the help of Nefe and Sabole. On the other hand, Hassan and Nio are lucky not to see that magic in battle, or they can easily lose.
There was no way out of the ice that partially froze their bodies, Sakuya could easily destroy the bodies of half-frozen monsters with her katana. Although it could move one hand or let out a roar, the ice prison that Sabole and Nefe created made it easier for Sakuya to finish off one by one of them.
The minotaur king moved, as if planning to join the fight, and Hevaz felt his duty was not to let the three-meter-tall monster do what he wanted. However, Sakuya first launched the first attack on the minotaur king. The monster roared loudly to the tenth floor ceiling as if it could collapse. Unfortunately, Sakuya's attack was not strong enough to make the minotaur king fall.
On the other hand, despite having been crippled by Hassan, Kardas and Sayf still could not withstand the sporadic waves of attacks by monsters moving with body parts bleeding due to projectiles fired by Hassan.
In another place of battle, as an opening, Nio shot and smashed the eyes of a large goblin that had been prepared with his big bat. The attack left the big goblins unable to do anything and died instantly, leaving the other monsters silent for a moment.
Then, a large minotaur stood behind Nio and raised his right hand that was grasping a stone axe. Glancing back to see what the monster behind him would do, Nio instantly slashed several times the left thigh of the minotaur. A distinctive roar of bulls rang out, then a shot that perforated the minotaur's forehead was unleashed as a final strike.
Similar attacks he launched on goblins and cambrites who tried to attack him, until he spent a magazine on his gun. As he was loading the new magazine, without the man noticing a minotaur was moving towards him.
“It feels like no stranger,” again Nio recalled the Alliance's first major battle against the Expeditionary Force. But that battle had ended a few months ago, and Nio was facing a new conflict against the Alliance again.
A fist as big as a head hit Nio's left cheek, and made the young man bounce two meters away. Although only able to move quite slowly, the minotaur managed to beat Nio and looked at the man with a satisfied look.
Fortunately, Nio did not lose consciousness even though the fist he received was quite loud. He looked up at the sky, then shook his head to the right and left firmly to get rid of the dizziness in his head.
As if forgetting to wipe the blood coming out of his lips, Nio stroked his left cheek which gave off a red color as a result of receiving a blow from his opponent. He looked to where he landed after bouncing, and saw a lot of muchetura leaves. It was indeed in his favor, but Nio saw a sight that he should not have seen.
Nio felt himself having to vomit or scream like a woman who would be sexually harassed. Nio's face suddenly turned into a tangle with a little paled when he saw the anu of several large goblins and minotaur enlarged and lengthened– but not bigger and longer than his. The good news, he fought alongside the monsters in a place where it was impossible for the girls to see a scene that they definitely did not want – including Nio – see.
“Damn it, I almost threw up. But, it seems like their anu with my sister still won my sister. Bentar..” Nio took down his pants to make sure that his biological weapon still won rather than belonging to a monster that has a body larger than him.
Then he found one answer, “Sip, mine is bigger than theirs”, and he said with a confident face and said proudly.
Time seemed to stop for the monsters that were about to attack Nio as the man compared his anu to theirs.
Nio was able to smile widely which showed his arrogance towards the monsters looking at his behavior with a flat gaze. As if not satisfied, Nio shook his hips to show that his missile was still much larger than theirs.
“Heh, it looks like they are starting to be blown away,” Nio said proudly.
(olog note: crazy also nio njir)
He displayed his anu as one of the tactics, and it managed to make the monsters silently peck with both eyes staring straight at the anu. He knew he almost vomited when the goblins' saliva showed them **** to him, so he avoided unexpected rapists by showing them back his biological weapons. Nio boasted a weapon of his that was bigger than the milk monster before him, and stroked his ‘small’ sister before putting her pants back on.
However, the monsters had yet to move after he had stored back his biological weapon, and were still staring straight at the bottom of his stomach. It seemed, the man's ‘tolol’ tactic had too strong an impact on the mentality of the monsters, and made their mental stress uncontrollable. Well, it was very profitable for Nio and he took his SS20 G2 and then aimed at the parts of some goblins and minotaurs that had not yet shrunk.
“Wait a minute, it looks like my sister is a little bigger again.”
Nio said so after only realizing it now, after he destroyed the anu of several goblins and minotaurs.
After their anu is destroyed by Nio, several dozens of goblins and minotaurs die with ‘gun’ in a crumbling and irreparable condition. They know if Nio can't ‘enjoy’ in a living condition, then they plan to kill Nio for ‘digarap’ together. Unfortunately, just by looking at the saliva that kept dripping from their jaws, Nio could tell what they were thinking and planning on him.
Nio saw something dangerous from the behavior of these monsters.
His expression was the same as before, and tried to restrain his turbulent stomach from spitting out his lunch in vain.
Nio stored back his rifle, then dodged the vertical slash of the axe and baton attacks from a minotaur and goblin. Then, he slashed both the thighs and calves of the two monsters to lose balance then kneeled, then Nio shot their heads as a cover attack.
As a follow-up attack, Nio aimed and shot the five goblins accurately at their chests with his 9mm pistol. They froze after the projectile pierced through their chest, then the minotaur and cambrite hordes ran fast regardless of their feet stepping on the dead friend's body, and attempted to attack Nio. However, Nio did not take long to meet their challenge. Once again, he shot all the goblins, minotaurs, and cambrites running towards him with the obvious goal of killing himself.
A medium-sized goblin jumped at him and was about to hit him, but Nio was able to easily dodge it. The goblin immediately landed on the shrub called Muchetura. As the Traveling girls said, the effect that the leaves produced was quite terrible. Nio could see the goblin's skin peeling off bit by bit, then revealing fresh flesh and blood. It was a long and painful process of death, so Nio shot the head of the afflicted goblin with his gun to reduce his suffering.
The fight next door is still in fine form, and Nio can focus on his own fight against the monsters who want ‘his body’. Nio occasionally glanced at Hassan who occasionally slammed his rifle butt into the enemy's head as the man ran out of ammunition. Although he was the youngest member of Team 12, Nio had the right to reprimand or scold members if they made mistakes or otherwise. As long as its members can continue to survive when fighting, then Nio will let them fight in their own way.
For all about youth, Nio must be willing not to live in everyday life like teenagers in general. That also applies to all Student Army soldiers, as well as Main Force Command and reserve soldiers who are in the teenage phase. However, it is all replaced with a valuable experience and cannot possibly be forgotten for life?
Nio's head looked up and saw Hevaz flying sweeping away the thin fog that had begun to reduce visibility. The wingspan, which is three times the size of Hevaz's body, makes the girl look like a giant bird of prey. When the girl landed not far from Nio, she thoughtlessly slashed down with her giant scythe very quickly and created a new massacre. Even Nio was unable to see what Hevaz was doing, and looked at the pool of blood as well as the body piece without knowing what was happening. However, this was not the first time Nio had seen such a massacre, and immediately took a defensive position after the arrival of Hevaz.
Standing in a position to protect the people behind him, Hevaz faced every goblin and cambrite without significant difficulty, even looking like he was chopping grass to give to livestock, he said, easy language is ‘ngarit’. As the Messenger of the God of War and the Goddess of Death – who both control life and death as well as the pain of the process of death, the, Hevaz is often ordered to take the life of the creature appointed by the two Gods to meet ‘needs’ and maintain the balance of the world.
Hevaz was one of the creatures created when the Worst Disaster ruled this world, so he knew what the Goddess of Death and the God of War needed, namely the soul and life of humans. On the other hand, both Gods require the souls and lives of humans who have been deprived of their bodies to fulfill their duty, which is to regulate the life and death of all living beings.
If the life is deprived, the body is finished as a container of soul and spirit. However, for some creatures such as humans and animals, they get a life back known as a world balance system called ‘reincarnation’.
“But, he is different from everyone reincarnated into this world,” Hevaz said inwardly as he watched Nio fight every monster with a trained silat martial arts movement.
“He feels to have the same power as the Nurturing Goddess. That brings a little bit of anxiety,” Hevaz continued.
After the Masterpiece has been given to ‘people foretold’, everyone who can feel the magical energy and aura of the figure hopes for a change with this world, the end of the war for example. Although the aura Nio emitted felt terrifying and made someone who felt it restless and anxious, to the Death Goddess Envoy and the War God the aura actually felt very beautiful despite being absurd. Fortunately, Nio seemed unaware of what was on him, according to Hevaz.
Meanwhile, Nio managed to immobilize less than fifteen cambrites and several small goblins. Handling monsters that could move nimbly was enough to upset Nio, and had to take out what he had gained from the results of his training all along. He could defend against any enemy, at least that was what Nio had imagined.
“Hevaz, I'll protect you. Get ready,” Nio said as he pulled out his rifle as he grew tired of doing melee combat.
On the other hand, Nio knew Hevaz did not need his help at all, so his words were impressed just in the form of pleasantries. Nio smiled wryly at the super female who had power above ordinary humans.
Nio fired at each cambrite and minotaur in single-shot mode, and killed less than ten monsters in less than five minutes. Sometimes he also shot monsters that tried to attack Hevaz from behind, even though the girl knew the existence of enemies behind her from a very long distance.
“But that's all I can do. He is indeed very strong, and definitely does not need our help to defeat all these enemies –“
Suddenly Hevaz interrupted Nio's murmur by saying, “You will one day become a stronger person than me, Mr.”
“Hah?” Nio was surprised after Hevaz spoke as if responding to his complaint.
“Believe with what you have, muster it all as long as you are able to do it.”
“Hevaz, what are you talking about?”
In addition to the wide range of vision such as having two eyes, stamina that feels limitless, and the strange thing that Nio felt after having a dream ‘aneh’ a few days ago, now Nio again felt something strange again on his body after hearing Hevaz's words.
Nio felt a great power rushing through his body.
He had not even felt tired since this fight started, although Nio already had no intention to fight using melee weapons. His sword was already broken yesterday after fighting against a flock of minotaurs, although he still had the sword Nio already had no intention of doing a close combat anymore.
As Nio fired one shot towards the head of a minotaur measuring two meters, the heat from the projectile should only make up for the head without any additional effect. However, not only did it pierce through the head of the huge minotaur, the effects of the projectile lesion turned out to have the monster's head crushed. However, not stopping until then, the minotaur's body with its shattered head slowly melted like wax then seeped into the ground without a trace.
Nio was convinced that he was using an ordinary bullet, and not an explosive anti-material bullet that could detonate a main battle tank in a single shot.
He took off the magazine from his rifle, then peeked inside, and he only saw an ordinary bullet without any change in the slightest other than the number that was reduced by a few.
“I'm really getting clueless with this world, am I in a fantasy story or something?” nio said inwardly with a puzzled facial expression.
Nio silently stared for a moment, then regained his senses after seeing Hevaz nearby after the girl decapitated a large goblin that almost injured him.
“That's because you're in the process of receiving another Masterpiece, Mr. Nio.”
“Nona Hevaz, do you read too many novels online or something? How could that fantasy thing happen to him?” sela Hassan came out of nowhere.
“Hei! That should be my dialogue, Hassan!” grouse Nio.
“It's up to you to believe it or not, but you can't avoid that fate,” Hevaz said in a calm tone.
“Damn it, I'm increasingly clueless with this world order!” nio's complaint was heard by the minotaur king.
The monster walked towards him, and made the entire monster retreat with just a breath of the minotaur king.
