Chapter 1491 December 15th: Sky, Scour Like a Dog

One: One: One: One: One: One: Two: Three

What do you think this is? Deepslaughter, Survival, Yashiro Bird, Carosis, Urdim, Sigma…… Its the ratio of the feather missiles that flew towards us.

「Wait!?」

Anti-aircraft consciousness is too high, idiot! !!

Of course, there is no choice but to interrupt that attack. The flying feather missiles are clearly a movement that has a homing function attached to it, and it flies while rotating at high speed…… So yeah, that’s actually a homing function confirmed? But…… Yeah, that’s right!

「Sigma! Come here!」

「Roger that: Initiating Avoidance behavior.」

Since I was supporting from the air, I started to move while calling out to Sigma, who was being chased by the feather missile next to me.

The number of feather missiles is three at the moment, and as the name of Tomahawk suggests, the feather missiles that run in the air while rotating like a knife beingthrown, each draw a different trajectory and head straight toward their target…… First of all, let’s jump in the air and step to the left ───

「There!」

Kuh, what a shitty situation! It’s hard to tell the time because it rotates like a fan’s wings! !! I mean, and my HP has been halved! ?? Yes, I knew it. If you let this thing hit you, you’ll die instantly!!

Secondly. The application time of the aerial jump is still continuing, and as long as it is in the form of a blade, the width is so thin no matter how long it is. The good thing about aerial maneuvering is that the whole space is treated like the ground, the ceiling, and the walls.

While stepping on the void and jumping, I lean my body about ninety degrees and run as if I was kicking the wall. Due to the effect of Weightless Grace “Space Charge”, the direction of gravity lays down, so the third bullet that flew vertically will come to the side.

「Tsk…… Think you can do this thing!? Aradval!?」

I received my confirmation that the firepower was good enough and I was motivation enough for me here!

Then I accelerate my own mind, and it;s that kind of acceleration that even allows you to see the tip of the rough feather missile…… I then slash with the silver flame of Aradval from the bottom to the top!

The load of the rotational energy of the feather missile is applied to the blow here and Aradval clashes with it…… However, it is out of luck that the metal piece here is given the dragon attribute as well.

The sparks that scatter from that clash begin to scatter violently even further from the feather missiles, but not from the side of Aradval. And with even more power now…… flip it off!!!

「Master.」

「You’re here, huh? Now lend me a hand!」

「Roger that. Awaiting specific instructions.」

「Escape towards the ground !!」

No matter how, I cannot run in the sky forever. I’ve already run out of aerial maneuvering skills, and it’s better to return to the ground as long as I don’t know how persistent the homing performance of the feather missiles is going to be.

The next moment when Sigma’s hands firmly grasped my outstretched hand, my body was pulled at a stretch with the maximum output of the booster equipped by Sigma.

「Approaching: Aggressive object from the front, at two.」

「Move in such a way that you can avoid and chase after it yourself! I will deal with it !!」

「Roger that. Beginning shake-off maneuver.」

「Good thing I’m used to roller coasters because without that this would be a whole lot harder than it has to be!」

It reminds me of that one crazy situation during elementary school when I was unable to get onto a ride because I was one centimeter too short for it, even with giving myself a secret boost all that time…… But that’s not important right now! Stretch out! I really need to stretch out here!

Sigma who grabbed me suddenly accelerated and barrel-rolled, and at the next moment, two wing missiles passed through the place where we were, tearing through the wind … But then they changed the course and flew towards us! What a fucking homing this is!!!

「They better not hit us, they better not hit us!」

With Aradval sandwiched between the soles of my feet, I forcibly released the hand that was not grasped by Sigma, and then fired the aerial PD into the feather missiles in quick succession.

Miss! Miss! Miss! There! One hit! One of the feather missiles is shot down in the wrong direction. However, my bullets didn’t hit the other remaining wing missiles, and in the worst case scenario I will have to let go of Sigmaa…… No, it’s going to hit us!

PON…… BON!!!

「Huh!?」

A feather missile, probably hit by something that flew from below, exploded suddenly. The heat of the explosion slightly burns my body, but that’s it, and the hand held by the floating hall is released.

In a hurry, I landed on the legs that sandwiched Aradval in between them, and there was an accident that Aradval, who flew up thans to the inertia , was about to stick in my head, but … I managed to succeed in landing after all.

「Sanraku, you can’t use a handgun at that distance and expect that to work!」

「Oh, shut the fuck up. At close distance it would have been a one hundred percent accurate shot…… But what was that? Did you snipe those things with a grenade launcher or something?」

「In principle, it should be a mortar, right?」

I think the principle is wrong here, but I won’t point it out because it would hardly be of any help here at the current moment.

It seems that the feather missiles released by Yashiro Bird have succeeded in dealing with each of them, and the feather missiles that stand out from the ground have lost their trackability for now.

If so, what should we watch out for right now is the five missiles that are still in the air, and when I look up, there is a strange sight right there.

「…… In mid-air …?」

I have a very unpleasant feeling about all this. I know if it was still falling or if it was still chasing then there wouldn’t be anything to worry about. However, it would be strange to stay in the air in the spot, especially since so far Tomahawk’s performance was like a mass of murderous intentions.

That’s why it keeps a part of its wing in the sky, so that I can’t be hit unless we are very careful about the things we do.

「Installation objects? For what? Possible candidates are……」

「Debuff, or buff over time, damage if you touch it, or maybe just an obstacle…… those are all the possibilities that I can really think of.」

None of the things that Karoshis has mentioned are impossible occurrences. But in the end, the answer is fixed when it is put into practice.

Tomahawk takes a strange stance. Depending on how you look at it, with its right arm extended forward and its left arm twisted backwards, it may look like a Kabuki stance. However, the sound that sounds like a squeak is not conclusive with the sign that whatever this thing is currently doing is over yet.

The proof is that the sound of metal squeaking is mixed into it…… No, the vibrating sound that causes the space here to tremble as much as it fills the sound that is echoing from its left arm-blade.

「Here it comes!」

That mysterious crack. A cut surface whose cross section is too beautiful to be just a mere tear! That attack must be its true identity, and while we are all spreading while being cautious of what’s to come……… I then notice something.

「Where is it even aiming?」

No, wait, it’s not aiming at the Players! But in that direction…… Is that a feather missile!? This is going to be a real nuisance!

「Gyiririririririririririri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

The moment Tomahawk swung its left arm with a full-hearted underslow, his blades fired a slash-shaped shock wave, carving a straight wound on the ground. They are not directed at any one of us, but feather missiles that no longer move regardless of who disabled them…… and then they fly in a straight line to the blades separated from the Tomahawk.

As long as everyone is evading, it is impossible to stop the slashing waves flying to the blades that protrude from the ground. And the moment the slashing wave hits the blades……

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

「Guh!?」

「Kuh!?」

「Uhh!?」

「So loud!?」

「My head, hurts!」

「Nuguh!?」

「……Analysis: Behavioral inhibition by high frequency sound waves.」

The terrifying sound resembling that of hundreds of cats scratching their claws against the blackboard that sounded at the back of our heads and travels down our spines stops us all from moving. It’s a forced rigidity……!

And not only that, I noticed it because I was looking at the destination of the incoming slashing wave.

The blade, which should have lost its kinetic energy, stood on the ground and was hit by a slashing wave.

And then it attacks us, who are still rigid ──────! !!
