Chapter 456

“...There is a reaction! “Ignoring terrain and features, everything is moving!”

“also. Everyone transforms and flies. Hide well from now on! “If you think it’s dangerous, tear off the scroll!”

“I’m fine, but Leeha–... Leeha?”

Rubini was hiding a little distance from Lee Ha.

The time between looking at the map and informing Leeha and raising my head again was about 3 seconds.

The figure below had already disappeared.

“...Leeha Niim?”

In the air, there was only the illusion of the mighty Bahamut.

From the top of a redwood tree as tall as a skyscraper, only Roubini’s pitiful voice rang out.

Camouflage doesn’t even appear on that map, I didn’t even realize Leeha was giggling.

―Please keep talking! Because I’m listening to it all!

“yes yes! “We started moving everything up to Hooded.”

-Okay, let’s get ready.

The following removed the Black Beth’s magazine, checked the cartridges, and reinserted them.

Normally, I would have replaced the remaining 4 rounds in the magazine with a new one because I had to fire a single Mana Evaporation Bomb, but I didn’t have time to do that now.

‘You have to save to live well. I need to quickly build a mana relay tower so I can go see Mr. Bottleneck.’

After several minutes of receiving reports from Roubini that the distance was gradually decreasing, a group of creatures darkening the sky were finally visible at the edge of Leeha’s field of vision.

Hooded and black crane paleos were decorating the air.

* * *

“Black Crane! “What is that?!”

“B-Black Crane! “It’s an unknown object!”

The flying cranes were momentarily confused.

The majesty of Bahamut was clearly visible even from a distance, and its appearance alone was enough to intimidate creatures who were seeing a dragon for the first time.

“...Guardian God. Since this is an unknown guy, the reason he is here is-”

“There is no need for that, that is a dragon. A being similar to us beyond the continent. Don’t get caught up in things like inflated body size. Fulfill your duty as a big brother.”

“Black... Crane.”

The black crane next to Hooded barely answered.

If Hooded calls itself a ‘similar being’, it means that it is also comparable to the tribal guardian deity.

It was obvious that ordinary Paleo people could not deal with them, but the tribe NPC could not refuse the orders of the guardian deity.

“Black Crane! Hooded is with us! “Let’s bring bloody remorse to the big coward who dared to insult our guardian god!”

Quaaaaaaaagh──── Quack── Quack────!

The black cranes cried out as one.

It was a loud roar, like the sound of a duck, but the cries of nearly three hundred black-crowned cranes were clearly terrifying and powerful.

[How dare these shy creatures disturb me! Hooded, a foolish spirit creature! Bluebeard, remember what you were like before you were defeated by Le! That’s the only thing that can save your life―]

Pyaaaaa—───────────!

[―This is the method!]

White flame breath spewed out from Bahamut’s mouth.

Since it was only an illusory attack, the direction indicated by Leeha was naturally high in the sky, but the picture of flames spewing out from the massive body was enough to kill the morale of the black cranes, which had been high just a moment ago.

The additional effect of provoking their tribe’s guardian spirit was a bonus.

“Do you think I was defeated by Re, dragon! It was only two months ago that I ran into this guy! After he was defeated by me, he just ran away! How dare you spew such outrageous remarks at me, the strongest spirit creature in Redwood!”

“Huh, Mr. Hooded?”

Hooded screamed.

Although there was still a long distance away, the voice could easily be heard even from where Bahamut was.

Naturally, it was a position that could be heard even from the original location where the illusion of Bahamut was summoned and moved to the appropriate direction.

‘I said that Black Crane Paleo was a month and a month ago. That also meant two months. It must have been two months ago that Bluebeard arrived in the New World. But you fought?

Also, did Bluebeard run away after being defeated? I thought about it for a moment, but I had no choice but to shake my head.

‘Should this be considered memory manipulation? It must be seen that it is not simply corrupted by mental contamination. ah! Maybe I was hallucinating? The God of the Sea was like that too. Then, in a sense, his mind is intact. It is not an abnormal situation like the sea god.’

At this point, we can see that Bluebeard’s abilities are truly enormous.

“This guy – the dragon is playing with hexes?!”

Flutter─── Flutter─── Flutter───!

It was then that a sudden roar occurred amidst the panic and panic of the black cranes and hooded cranes, and the pitiful sound of their wings flapping.

Tucquoa Ah Ah ──────────────!

No, to be precise, before the sound occurred, something scratched under Hooded’s right wing.

Crispy!

The bullet only grazed the hat and passed by without touching the body of the hooded body.

Through the scope, I could see the blue beard’s hat underneath the right wing disappearing.

‘Good Shot.’

The fact that his senses had not died at all made Lee Ha happy.

* * *

“Leeha!”

“Whew, it’s been quite a while. I haven’t been sniping much lately, so maybe-”

Lee Ha, who was trying to talk happily while listening to Rubini’s shout, suddenly felt strange. Bluebeard’s hat turned into powder and flew away.

clearly-!

“...But why doesn’t it end?”

But the quest completion notification doesn’t appear?

There was no time to be confused. As predicted below, Hooded and Black Cranes panic for only 3 seconds.

The original plan was for Hooded to come to his senses before the panic was over and for Leeha to have time to persuade him and the Paleos by mentioning the ‘real enemy’.

But Hooded’s mind did not return and the panic was over!

Moreover, the animal-like Paleos had the ability to accurately pinpoint the direction from which the noise was coming.

“Sons, that’s the place!”

Ahhhhh─────────!

“Black Crane! “There is a hidden sorcerer!”

“Kill! “The red goat gang uses hexes!”

Flutter, flutter, flutter!

The black cranes that had gathered together at the spot where Bahamut was suddenly turned.

In addition to the guys starting to speed up in an instant, Roubini’s voice confused Lee Ha.

“Leeha! 50% quest completion rate!”

“yes?”

“The quest window said the completion rate was 50%!”

“50%—holy shit! Then—”

The Paleo cranes captured using mana evaporation bombs and musket pistols were not lying.

They just didn’t understand everything.

“―You mean there’s another one somewhere!? “Where—”

Leeha immediately lifted up Black Beth. The operation was already disorganized.

Plan B? There is no plan B in this plan. If you want to run away, you can do it at any time, but if you miss the opportunity once, it will be difficult to create a situation like this again.

“―Then first of all― 《Mana Evaporation Bomb》!”

The cooldown for Mana Evaporation Bomb is 30 minutes, and it has already been reset a long time ago.

Leeha immediately raised the scope. Should I shoot a flock of whooping cranes approaching from 2 o’clock? The choice below was not that.

Hooded should not die.

However, in order to find another Bluebeard hat, it was necessary to neutralize him.

‘Don’t die, please!’

You have to worry about this while shooting yourself!

The scope below was slightly lower than before. What he’s aiming for is Hooded’s single leg, and that’s the ‘tip of the claw’!

“The difficulty level has increased, damn it!”

Tuquaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

By the time he heard the loud noise, Hooded could feel the sudden wind blowing beneath his feet. The wind pressure created by the passing bullets sent a chill through his stomach.
