Chapter 259 Its Started

*BRAAKKKK!*

The entrance to the ship's room was raided with an explosive.

After that, Geralt came in, brandishing his weapon.

The other Soldiers immediately followed inside.

However, as soon as they went inside, what they saw made them confused, and exchanged glances.

Geralt who led the way stared at a man holding a shotgun. He wasn't worried because the shotgun only contained paint bullets.

They are indeed equipped with real bullets. But they wouldn't use it just for this training. Just for emergency cases.

"What the hell are you doing?! Have you forgotten your job?!" Geralt snapped at the man who was looking at him with blank eyes.

Erend stared from behind. He felt the Magic getting stronger when he entered the room of the ship.

But he saw no one but the man. Where are the other people?

The absence of other people made Erend even more anxious.

At this rate, they could only expect a surprise attack coming from an unexpected place.

Moreover, these soldiers are confused. So, they wouldn't be able to prepare in time for what was about to happen.

When everyone stared at the man holding the shotgun, Erend looked around.

Nothing seemed different in this room. Everything seems normal. Which is what makes things even weirder.

He stepped back to check what was outside. But here, too, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

However, the sky that was previously so clear suddenly filled with dark clouds very quickly. It was as if the evil Magic had just summoned them from nothing to gather around.

The soldiers on the boat also noticed the strangeness of this dark cloud that had suddenly appeared.

They wondered, but in the end, decided that this was just an ordinary natural phenomenon.

But Erend realized that the clouds were gathering due to the influence of something.

That means this Magic had spread much larger than he thought.

As soon as this rain fell, Erend was sure that the rain that fell was not just ordinary water.

​

'Shit, this isn't just a leak anymore.'

Saying that an event that affects the natural surroundings is a 'leak' is an underestimation. This could be a disaster.

'Tut, won't I get an Urgent Quest to deal with this?'

Erend asked Tut as this seemed like the right time for an Urgent Quest to appear.

[ "You have to wait. Systema is looking for a way to handle this leak." ]

'So, Systema also has a weakness, I see.'

[ "Well, sometimes surprising things happen in this universe. Systema is only able to predict based on existing data. But mistakes still happen." ]

'Alright, but try to be quick. Or it will all get worse.'

[ "Systema won't take long." ]

'Okay.'

With that answer from Tut, Erend could only wait.

"Hey, you ignore me?" Geralt snapped again at the man holding the shotgun in a tone full of anger.

But the man still didn't answer. That made Geralt even more furious.

So, he ignored the training and came at the man angrily.

"Bastard, you-"

*BANG!*

The man fired his shotgun when Geralt approached.

The bullets in the shotgun were not paint bullets. But real buckshot-type shotgun shell.

The shot threw Geralt until he hit the other soldiers, causing them to collapse too.

The man did not stop there.

*CLACK!*

He cocked his shotgun again and aimed.

*BANG!*

The second shot hit a soldier in the face. Instantly, blood splashed and the soldier immediately fell.

"SHOOT HIM!"

Command voice sounded. The soldiers happily obeyed his orders and emptied their rifle bullets at the man.

However, amid the panic, they realized too late that what was in their guns were paint bullets.

Several soldiers realized that and immediately looked for ammunition containing real bullets in their vests.

But some of them were overcome by panic and kept on shooting.

As a result, paint bullets rained down on the man and made his body full of color. Producing a very odd scene to watch in a situation like this.

*BANG!*

The man fired again. This time a soldier was also shot in the chest like Geralt and was thrown against the wall.

Erend, who was at the very back, was quite safe from the shotgun's reach.

He had finished replacing his rifle with real bullets and started shooting.

*DDRDRDRDRD!*

*DDRDRDRDRD!*

*DDRDRDRDRD!*

...

Erend fired his rifle past the other soldiers with accuracy.

The shot hit the man and knocked him down instantly.

With shot wounds that bad, Erend was sure that if he was still a normal human, the man would die.

However, amid this situation that may not be the case.

"Be careful. There might be another surprise here," Erend said to the soldiers around him.

"You better take Major Ronder outside and keep him safe," Erend said.

"Who made you the one in charge of this troop?!"

One of the soldiers asked in an annoyed tone. Perhaps the tone was a mix of panic and shock.

They may indeed be members of the special forces. But they were clearly still beginners who had only just entered through the basic exams.

With just a situation like this, they already lost composure. Their inexperience can be seen clearly.

"I don't give orders. I only give suggestions. It's up to you," Erend said in an indifferent tone.

Suddenly, space-time is distorted on the ship. Rips of space-time appeared in several places both within the room and outside.

The tear opened like burning paper and left a red color.

Apart from that, a space-time tear also appeared near the boat containing the soldiers.

"Wh-what is this?!"

"What is going on?!"

They are all confused. Erend was also getting worried.

"Get your weapons ready. It looks like something will come out of there so get ready to shoot if you want to live!" Erend shouted.

His screams could be heard from the radio that the soldiers used to communicate. Make them aware instantly of the unknown danger that threatens.

A moment later from the rip that appeared on the ship, several people jumped out.

What's worse is, they carry their own weapons. Erend didn't wait long and shot.
