Chapter 103 - We've Been Made.
In a narrow path amid a rocky mountain. A group of men walked carefully, looking at the high mountains with their guards raised. About them were dark green butterflies, patrolling. In front of this group was a young man with a different costume, leading the group. This was Emma and the Ghost Hunters.
"Commander, in the past 2 hours we haven't seen a single animal or beast in this mountain. What do you think?" Jojo asked.
"I don't know. But I believe it's better we don't encounter any beast or animal. We've enough of those infuriating beasts. Don't you think?"
"Yeah, you're right. We're already going low on ammo. The sky in this world had no sun or moon, everything just had the hue of red. "
"That, we don't have to find out. We're not here for that. Let find those Kpriv, gather all the important intel, and leave the damn world."
"But we are yet to find those beasts. We pass the same tunnel as them, but why can't we see them?" Laka added.
"Probably it due to space misplacement," Emma added, pointing his gun at the top right angle of the mountain.
"Space misplacement!" Jojo and Laka exclaimed.
"Just understand it as the tunnel is not stable. It may move every minute or hour. So, we may pass through the same tunnel as the Kpriv but our endpoint will be different." Emma explained.
"So that's it" Jojo and Laka chorused.
Suddenly, Emma raised his hand. Instantly, everyone stopped, with their gaze fixed on Emma. He made a hand gesture and quickly, the Ghost Hunter follow the command. Some of the Ghost Hunters climbed the mountain, ready to fire. However, what came to their sight shocked them to their core. For a few seconds, they fail to breathe with eyes widened.
"Switch to sniper," Emma commanded. He walked carefully, not daring to make a sound. He found an obscure location and hide. While everyone could now understand what they were up against.
KPRIV
They are everywhere, sauntering. Only a few 1-star Kpriv could be seen and they are sort of guarding an abandoned enormous building. Emma had never seen such a building in his life. They built the building in some kind of shape with various strange signs on its body. In front of the building was a 100 meters golden statue.
Is that a real golden statue?
What are the Kpriv doing here?
Emma looked at the Kprivs, the golden statue, and the building, wondering what the hell is going on. "This statue is not a Kpriv. Then what sort of beast would have an antenna on its head. This getting complicated than I thought." He sighed. 'I just want to control Vulture and climb my way up to the top and enjoy my second life. Why would it turn to this….' He lamented. 'Can't I have a peaceful life for once?'
"Every bullet must count." Emma took a deep breath. "Let start from the back. We must finish the 1-star Kpriv at once before they could give order to the normal Kpriv. Is that clear?"
"Copy!"
"Ready….." He rubbed his thumb and index finger together and put it on the trigger. Every Ghost Hunter held their breath, locking on their target. There are over 500 meters of distance between the Kpriv and Emma's group. Also, the mountain serves a nice defense, obstructing any obvious threat to the Kpriv. Just then, a Kpriv looked at the mountain entrance for a few seconds. It moves closer as if noticing some anomaly. Seeing this, another Kpriv join and looked at the entrance.
After a few minutes of looking at the entrance, the Kpriv made an indistinct sound and left, wondering about, ignoring the entrance. Meanwhile, the Ghost Hunter was shocked at how sensitive these Kpriv could be. Emma didn't care about being discovered or not. This was a must-fight battle. There was no way around it. He was only concerned about what that 1-star was guarding.
"I hope there are not many 1-star Kpriv in the building." He murmured. Inside his helmet, a square shape lock on the 1-star at the far end, blinking.
"Ready…. Ready….. Ready…. Fire!"
Swiss!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five 1-star Kpriv guard the building entrance fell on the ground with their head-turning into the paste. Seeing this, some of the Kpriv stop and look at their superior wondering, what the hell was happening. They detected nothing. How the hell did they die at the same time. Meanwhile, Emma was glad everything went according to plan. "Reload…. Target….! Team A 9 o'clock. Team B, 3 o'clock."
"Fire at will!"
Swiss!
Bullets fly in the air, targeting the heads of dumbfounded Kprivs. Seeing this, the Kpriv made an indistinct sound. At once, the peaceful place descended into upheaval. They searched for the perpetrator amid the chaos. Only the Kprivs in the center was safe while the Kpriv, both on the right and left side, was falling and never to stand up again.
Kreeeee! Kreeeee!
Two 1-star came out of the gigantic dilapidated building with an ear-piercing sound. At once, every Kpriv joined the sound attack. Meanwhile, Emma and his group were already prepared for the sound attack. Besides, there was quite a distance between them and the Kpriv.
"I know there would be more Kpriv in the building." He murmured. "Team C. 1-star Kpriv." He commanded.
Swiss
Bang! Bang!
The two 1-star join their comrade on the floor and never stand up again. Their mouth was still wide open under the sound attack and their pupils above their heads. In death, they couldn't understand the cause of their dismiss. Human may be inherently weak, but their fort is their wisdom and the ability to adapt to any situation.
The reddish-brown soil was now filled with the blood of the Kprivs. The Kpriv were furious, making so many indistinct sounds with their eyes moving forth and back. Though they may have low intelligence compared to the 1-star Kpriv. Their intelligence couldn't be compared with normal animals. After a couple of minutes, they discover Emma's group.
"We've been discovered," Emma commanded.
"Target all incoming Kpriv."
