The scouts and Elena had already prepared the wagons. We were on the move. The only thing that held us back was the lack of people who could properly fend off those approaching monsters and the creatures themselves careering in our direction. Hina and I were the only ones specialised dealing with those beasts. The two of us weren’t immortal. But we were left with no choice but to do our best to save as many people as possible, ideally everyone without experiencing casualties.But before the battle could even start, the projectiles coming from the enemies’ ruined my ideal objectives.Those monsters from the north had us outnumbered. Usually, creatures existing in these dimensions were physically built to destroy humans with the strength of a tank. None of them should cast magic. However, I was proven otherwise when a brilliant dark shadow travelled across the sky, aiming at our site. We had wagons that moved as slow as a snail and pregnant mothers and children refusing to move their le
Fainting now would be unfavorable to the group. And I didn’t want to force things to happen, in spite of being the only killer of the team. ‘Maybe resting right now would lead us to victory?’ I thought. But, then again, I knew this was a risk that I had to take. If I, somehow, collapsed on the spot and was unable to pick my gun and kill those monsters, these people would die with me… And Hina would die with the rest of them. I didn’t want to make that happen. So instead of bottling up my fears, I relayed my message to Hina. As I turned around, I motioned my fingers enough to catch her attention and shouted, “Hina! I’ll rest for ten minutes! Can you do something about the approaching monsters?” Hina already had her barriers up the moment I fired my first bullet against those monsters. She had been protecting this place without me issuing her a command. My sister was too focused on defending when I forgot one thing about her. Hina still had her golems surrounding the base. They w
[New Mission!] [Defeat the Komodo Dragon] [Reward: Activate the Next Swarm.] [As soon as you defeat the Komo Dragon, you will be given six hours of break until the next one arrives. Until then, no monsters will appear within your vicinity, so use this time to rest and lessen the distance. The next swarm will come after six hours. And if you, White Fang or any other adventurer, manage to defeat the first and second swarm, you will be rewarded with twelve hours of break time. After defeating the third swarm, the exit will appear. Any information regarding the swarms will be confidential. The time you spend while defeating every boss from the swarm varies and will not be recorded or put you under time constraint or pressure.] The new mission was just a normal task that I already experienced throughout my adventuring life where I had to defeat a tough boss before leaving this place. But the only difference was that I had people with me… A large group of international people who got tra
The Komodo Dragon was a master of ambushing adventurers where they did not expect it. Even my system described the monster as what I had envisioned, instilling more fear to everyone who faced him. The people who caught a glimpse of the terrifying beast cried a river of tears as they miserably crawled their way back to a safer distance.As soon as I dodged the Komodo Dragon’s attacks, I finally had the chance to study the rascal. This reptile had the same characteristics of an Earth Dragon. The only difference was the appearance, scales, and their abilities. The Komodo Dragon was just like the ones we had on the surface back from the real world. But instead of the rough but pale skin of the reptile, this Komodo Dragon found inside the portal had armours made of rare metal exclusively found in this world. And when I appraised that material, my system told me it had high resistance against physical and magical attacks. Well, it wasn’t a surprise, considering we were up against a fucking
“Tsk… Not a single scratch, huh?” I muttered, as I discerned what my bullet could do against the tough exterior of the Komodo Dragon. My bullet still did something, but the damage was unrecognisable. But if I continued accumulating those tiny damages, maybe we could dent that armour and damage the monster in the long run.As soon as the Komodo Dragon’s failed, the beast submerged back to the ground and concealed itself once more. That creature quickly disappeared just as quick as the moment it had appeared. And when the lizard finally hid itself from me and the people, it let the worms and the little horde of lizards attack the group of survivors one by one. The tactic instilled fear and chaos on the battlefield, letting me be preoccupied with something rather than thinking of ways to counterattack the beast’s cheap trick.The children and the mother that the Komodo Dragon attacked fell on the ground, with tears and sweats flowing from their eyes. Their hands shook every time the gro
“Let me do it.” As soon as I turned around, my eyes were greeted by Elena’s face. “I heard you need to place these people on the other side to win this fight. Maybe I can help. I will rally the survivors and wait for your signal. Don’t worry about them because those people will listen to me. Tell me where to go.”It was logical that I would let Elena do those things where she would gather and instruct the survivors to a place where I could bait them for the Komodo Dragon. But if she heard the plan, Elena must know the consequences if I mess up. She cared about the people more than Hina and I. And if I let others be in danger, I would never hear the last of Elena’s scoldings and hatred.So I confirmed it with my eyes and ears as I asked a question to Elena, “Are you sure about this? If you heard us talk about the plan, then you know that…”Elena cut me off and nodded, “That you plan on using these people as bait to lure the lizard and kill it for good, right? If that’s the case, I’m al
“HEY, YOU LIZARD! COME AT US!” When I thought we lost hope, Elena, the girl beside the group of survivors, shouted and caught everyone’s attention. The survivors beside her didn’t know what to do. But since all those people trusted her, most survivors followed along and shouted with her as well. However, those who valued their lives more than seeing the entire picture itself ran for their lives, hoping that would save them from possible danger. Some people who ran were attacked by the worms, while others experienced extreme panic attacks. Despite seeing their greed and selfishness, I covered their areas and saved those people, regardless of what they did… Except for one thing. I knocked out some people who tried pushing others to save themselves. Those few individuals even dared to use children and mothers as their shield so the monsters could take them, not the one who had pushed those survivors. I couldn’t tolerate such an act, considering that this was a time of crisis. And no pe
Winning this fight was impossible. After losing most of our arcane, Hina and I became exhausted for the second try. Even though we, somehow, forced the ultimate form of the Komodo Dragon, we had already used up most of our spells and mana. The only thing left for us to do was to instruct survivors to try and save themselves while we recover. Maybe Hina had enough arcane to create a wall for the two of us and still kill the lizard for the second time, but we would experience casualties. For the first time, I thought I could save everyone without seeing someone killed on the ground. Witnessing people dying took a toll inside my mind, and I didn’t know what to do about it. My goal was to create a world where normal people could live their lives without the nuisance of these portals. Little did I know that I was still an immature and ambitious teen wishing to reach the moon using a car. If only I mastered my ability and sucked up my trauma from firearms, maybe I could do something abou
