Terra World: Getting Into the Novel

Well let's do this.., Arturus is having a meeting like this about the military leadership of hive city...

I was in a very safe distance above a hotel that had a very long distance, I hope this rifle can reach its target.

2km away from my target?, this will make my escape easier, now I'm sitting in wait for the meeting to start.

Now that the meeting room is still empty it is in a large building on the 58th floor, 2km from my location, I am on the 100th floor of this hotel.

.... The Ombians tell me they've installed speakers there so I can listen to the whole meeting, strange they can kill Arcturus themselves but need my help?, ' he said ?, it doesn't matter that the contract is very important to me and them.

I saw them start filling that round table... There were 5 people and many guards, the curtains started to close....

Yep I managed to pass through the curtain.... But I have to ask first, the Ombians want information from this meeting.

The meeting lasted for 2 hours, they debated with each other about who should take the position of military leader, many who wanted the son of Arcturus to take the position of his father.... But Arcturus refused, apparently he did not want such a burden placed on his only child.

Then.... The next military leader is Leonus Forde... If I hear he's a fool the only reason he's in this meeting is because of his family's feed but Arcturus doesn't know that... But.... Should I kill him ?.

my target is Arcturus Drakon because he is the military leader but he wants to resign.... Why ?.... What should I do now ?.....

The Ombians wanted Arcturus' death to manipulate the next leader and weaken the Nisco army's spirit.... What about Ezra?, he wants Arcturus dead... But for what?, if he wanted to kill her why didn't he do it at the auction?, did I mess up when I shot him ?.

But on seeing his clothes he might be from the Serpent's comlot who just want to spread terror and fear, and it seems that Arcturus is already willing to rewind himself completely he does not care what will happen he will still rewind himself.... Again why ?.

My head started to hurt thinking about all this... Yes, I'd rather kill Leonus Forde for Ezra, and the contract I made was to kill their military leader instead of Arcturus.

I waited a few more minutes until they finally voted on who should be the next military leader.

And finally the position fell on Leonus Forde, he looked happy... Too bad your position will be so short, he smiled with satisfaction... Heh.... Seeing her face made me want to laugh because of how unannounced she was, that this was her last day.

I can't use the Feathershine Arrows on a rifle.... I think I should use the raw power of this rifle.

I aimed in the direction of his head, I turned off my stalker headset because I knew there would be a lot of screaming sounds, I aimed at his head, draining my magic on my rifle keeping him warm, I knew there would be a lot of screaming sounds, the sound of energy thumping rang out from my rifle, and I pulled the trigger.

"Anapafsou en eirni"

the rifle bullet was hurtling at a speed I had not seen, it was not as fast as the Feathershine Arrows but still had better accuracy than the Feathershine Arrows, this rifle drains my magic energy better than a crossbow

And I saw my bullet go through the sound barrier, before it hit the head of Leonus Forde, who was instantly smashed to pieces, what was supposed to be inside, now outside, now outside, the originally white walls of the meeting room were now mixed with the blood and brain contents of Leonus Forde, his orbs stuck to the wall, the roof of the room, and the, some even splashed onto some of the members of the meeting who were now hiding under the table with the guards who had started covering the windows with their shields.

My job is done, I'd better go and give this information to the Ombians.

I started to disperse my rifle and put it in my suitcase and get out of here my job is done.

...****************...

Ezra just returned from the pocket dimension and looked towards the living room where Noofi and Marie were watching tv together.

"uh... Tumben you guys watch together usually busy yourself"

"there is great news from the utopia, Ezra come here"

Ezra also came to the living room.

"what's wrong....."

ezra's face immediately turned pale when he saw the news of Leonus Forde's murder.

"....what is...."

His body immediately went limp and he fell, Marie and Noofi who saw this then panicked.

""Ezra !""

"are you okay ?"

"what's up ?"

It takes time for Ezra to process and respond to them.

"it's okay what...."

Ezra started to stand up.

"i. I'm just limp.... L'm... I'll go to my room okay.... Tell me about the full news later..."

Ezra started walking and went upstairs leaning against the wall, Noofi and Marie were obviously worried but it was better that they just leave it alone for now.

Arriving in Ezra's room immediately jumped into his bed and pondered.

Why would.... Whoa Leonus Forde who was shot?, he was supposed to be the military leader when Arcturus Drakon was killed, and he would mess up this hive city because of his inexperience.... Tapj is now dead and Arcturus Drakon is alive.... If bengini Sasha won't be the next military leader... And there's a good chance the attack will fail.... If.if it happens.... I will no longer be able to predict what will happen.

Ezra decided to go to sleep he didn't want to think about this for now but he had plans tonight.

...****************...

Chichiro had just returned from utopia last night because he had also given her the information she got from the meeting this afternoon and she wanted to go home to meet her younger sister.

He walked down a dark alley and ended up on the other side of the city a dirty place where lots of injections were strewn about where, this is where drunks, criminals, and addicts lived, he said, even while on the way home Chichiro found the dead body of a narcotic overdose.

he also arrived at his house.... At least that's where he stopped by his friends and younger brother.

When he opened the door he saw his sister and friends eating a meal in the middle of the room, the food was clearly not from the area, there was candy and other food, he said, of course he was confused from where they got the food he oun called one of his sisters who memeang immediately welcomed him.

"Vivian where did all this food come from ?"

"oh good man gave it to us"

"who ?"

"he said meet him in an alley close to the city tonight"

"who-who..... Okay, I get it...."

"then try this candy, it's so good"

Chichiro took the candy from his sister's hand and ate it, a sweet taste he had never felt filled his mouth, the oermen melted slowly in his mouth.

"let's eat with the others"

"good well...."

What do you want now Ezra.

...****************...

As all of Chichiro's sisters and friends fall asleep he sneaks out and meets Ezra at the place where he receives a shotgun from Ezra.

"...what do you want"

"...I don't know, oh maybe you're on the wrong target ?"

"what do you mean wrong target ?"

"your target is Arcturus, not Leonus"

"no, my target was the military leader and he became the military leader.... Hehe.... Not long"

"what do you mean ?"

"he was appointed military leader because Arcturus was retreating so technically I got my target"

"....hah ?!..... why... Why did he retreat ?"

"i didn't know he didn't explain it"

"aaaaahhhh...... All fucked up"

"....?, Ezra is everything okay ?"

Chichiro's voice seemed to start stiffening as if he was afraid he was making a mistake.

"b-how about this.... L'm.... I'll go back and kill Arcturus o-okay b-how about it...."

from his voice Chichiro was clearly panicked and scared.

"no.... That's not necessary... The key to all of this is Leonus.... And now he's dead..."

"pardon me... I-I don't know.... Please forgive my sister and my friends"

"no.... No. gabe.... It's not worth it. Your life is not as fair.... It's all fucked up.... This... It's not your fault.... I'm going home okay I'm just here to get a straight answer"

"b-well... Be careful"

Ezra begins to walk away from Chichiro, while Chichiro must either be worried or relieved that Ezra let him though he may have destroyed Ezra's plan even though he does not know what it is.

...****************...

Meanwhile, at the scene of the murder, blood, brain marks and shell fragments from Leonus Forde, are being cleaned, there is also Lagur and Joryse.

"so.... Mrs Joryse.... What do you think of this case...."

"no, this is impossible the same killer I had at my auction"

"how can you say that ?"

"the "weapons we use are different, this.... This is a long shotgun"

"do you mean there's a person or a group who has access to firearms ?"

"yes.... That's what I'm afraid of.... I've sent a message to the CEO of white steel about this"

"and how did it go ?"

"he said yes it was obviously a long-barreled rifle but they never got an order for a long-barreled rifle.... What else is this so deadly"

"how far is this shotgun in the shot ?"

"vacancy 2km"

"2km?!, that's terrible.... That means whoever did this could kill his target from a safe distance"

"hm... Eyewitnesses said Leonus Forde's head exploded before gunfire could be heard"

"....what can we do"

"i don't know..... But.... We still have to find that crow mask... I'm sure he knows something we don't"

"i've walked to where the crow's wine was deposited but I have found no one who has the potential to be the crow"

"is there a closest one ?"

"only a woman named Marie but she was a student of the school as a witch and she was a woman so impossible"

"what about the raven guards there's information from them ?"

"no result is nil"

"how could it be?!, raven guards are the best witch hunters from Nisco"

"i thought the crow was a great witch... Or the.... She's not a witch at all"

"it doesn't make sense that Raphaella is a witch - she's the best descendant of the Malar family, and after all she has a gun she's obviously a witch"

"then we can only broadcast the bounty for any information about the crow"

"is that really our only option ?"

"do you have a better idea ?"

"....do what you think is right, Mr. Lagur"
