Case 238: First Person Shooter.
Let's calm down first.
We'll get to know Luna later, but now, it's time for the battle of the century. While ascending to the ground using an elevator of sorts, I slowly gather my thoughts.
''We'll stick to the standard formation once the fight starts,'' I speak up. ''Mermaid Queen, I'll leave my daughters to you.''
''Alright~!''
''Everyone, let us emerge victorious—''
''Wait.''
Right then, Luna herself intervenes.
''I will also participate in combat.'' She firmly says. ''Can I please have Anna... Miss Anastasia guarding me while I'm using my ability?''
''Aren't you exhausted?'' I ask, puzzled. ''In the first place, we don't know how you fight, so...''
At this, Luna giggles and extends her right hand toward me.
''My energy isn't a problem. Right, Sylvia?''
''Oh.''
Now that I think about it, wasn't there the seed her loli version gave me? Sirallets or whatever. Rightfully, I take out the item and put it on her palm.
''Thank you.''
In an instant, a blue light shines from within the crystal, and its essence is promptly sucked by the purple-haired woman. Indeed, I can feel Luna's body getting revitalized and full of energy.
I'll have to ask the method to create this kind of battery from her later.
Nevertheless, there is still the problem of combat synergy...
''As for my ability, please witness.'' Luna smiles as if predicting my thoughts. ''When the elevator reaches ground level, please avoid the right corner at all costs.''
When the Divine Maiden says that, we have no choice but to comply. Looking intently at the place, I begin to imagine what kind of alien would pop up later. The suspense is real.
DING—!!
'''' !!! ''''
As soon as the bell rings and the door opens, a sharp arrow clad in dense mana rips through the air, lodging itself right where Luna warns us. It's not like that thing is lethal, but... This is impressive.
''What do you think?''
As my party readies themselves to fly out, Luna puts up a 'V' sign and asks me. As the leader, I am faced with the choice of entering combat with and without this new variable.
''Limit?'' I immediately ask. ''Range? Method of communicating?''
Being a sea-anti person, I involuntarily shiver at the sight of the less-than-peaceful sight. What's more, based on its mana frequency, isn't it trying to self-destruct?
''Sorry, bud.''
BANG—!
Before that can happen, I shove a whole fifty-cal bullet into its head, blowing a good portion of its meat onto the ground. Granted, it's AE, not BMG, but the sensation of decimating flesh is addicting nonetheless.
[Sylvia, there is a squad of fifteen on your eleven. They all have strong projectiles, so please be careful.]
Thanks again, babe.
Using telekinesis, I lift myself onto a building's rooftop, where I can indeed see a formation of tuna closely moving together, wielding bows with their fins.
It's honestly a goofy sight that I would normally enjoy, but knowing their real identities, I feel nauseous.
''Ah...''
Perhaps because I'm nauseous, I have accidentally thrown the grenade that I accidentally took out at them.
BOOM—!
The next second, they have become minced fish... Before turning into plastic-ish debris. Right.
''Mhm... Well.''
A surge of laziness suddenly washes over me, and I take out the assault rifle, M14, instead. After equipping a decent scope, I begin to quietly snipe my enemies with ease, enjoying the FPS experience.
Although I have a silencer on the gun, I guess it doesn't really matter when Sariel is roaring in the sky.
It's a good thing Mermaid Queen evacuated this area beforehand. I don't know how she did it while being spied on, either.
Though... Where is IV—
Right when I think that, a blinding light brighter than the sun envelops the city, and the moment it subsides, a pure white figure can be seen floating under the artificial moon.
With a white robe, white veil, and white hair, the person seems like a scared saintess from distant ages.
Of course, as soon as 'she' locks eyes with me, an intense rage wells up within my heart.
Just how many people have it taken over? Just how many lives have it ruined with that damned ability?
Hundreds of mana formations are engraved in the sky, creating a sea of powerful bombs—bombs that are directed at me.
BOOM—!
But bullets are faster.
Within seconds, a fifty BMG has already pierced through the air, blowing IV's head into shreds right at the moment.
Let the duel begin, retarded fucker.
