Chapter 260 Didn't See That Coming

Shots began to be heard from all directions. The situation became more chaotic than before.

Everything happened very suddenly. What was originally just confusion, now suddenly turned into a battlefield of utter chaos.

Those people who had disappeared were actually hiding behind the dimensional curtain and attacking when everyone was unprepared.

Erend didn't know who came up with that plan, but it was a very good plan to surprise and cause enormous damage to these special forces.

The men carried rifles, pistols, shotguns, and even sharp weapons such as machetes and daggers.

Those who appeared suddenly jumped up and rushed at the soldiers like bloodthirsty beasts.

But what was worse was, they didn't just attack blindly. They attack like beasts who have been trained to shoot guns.

Erend immediately dodged by going into another room to seek protection and hide his power.

When he turned his head and realized that he was some distance away from the soldiers, Erend unleashed his true power.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]

The red and black scales immediately covered Erend's body.

He couldn't rely too much on the body armor he was wearing.

Even though the body armor he was wearing was quite strong, he still had to be vigilant.

It was different when he used the [Dragon Scale]. Erend didn't need to worry about his surroundings and could attack freely because he knew nothing would penetrate his scale.

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

There were two people firing shotguns simultaneously at Erend.

However, none of the shots were able to injure him, or even make him flinch.

'This scale can withstand powerful Magic attacks by Elves dan Daemons. Mere bullets from human arsenals can't even be called a threat.'

Erend grinned. Then he shot towards one of the two people who had shot him just now.

His speed is also of course far above ordinary humans. Even though these humans were affected by that evil Magic, they still had normal human bodies.

The Magic only affects their minds. In an instant, Erend was in front of the man. At least as far as he knows now.

He held his rifle with one hand and pressed it against the man's chest.

*DDRDRDRD!*

Erend pressed the trigger and a series of bullets shot out at the man's chest.

The bullets went through the man's back and painted the wall behind him red.

Erend threw the man aside. Then proceed to kill the other guy.

*BANG!*

The other man fired his shotgun. Erend ignored the shot even though it hit him in the chest.

He immediately ran towards him and did the same. He pressed the point of his rifle against the man's chest and fired.

*DRDRRDRD!*

The man fell on the floor of the ship with a hole in his chest.

Erend glanced at the two men who had chased him into this room. Two innocent men.

It's just that because they were affected by that evil Magic, he had to kill them. But, did he really have to kill them?

'Tut?'

[ "Yes. There is no other way to deal with them other than killing them. No medicine in this world can overcome corruption Magic that originates from another world. If you let them escape from here, they will only spread this Magic more widely." ]

Erend breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew... I think I just killed the people who could be saved."

[ "But you didn't hesitate one bit when you pulled that trigger." ]

That is true. Erend didn't hesitate one bit. As if he knew that he had to kill them instinctively. As if... he had dealt with this before.

This is weird because he knows that he has never known this Magic.

'Anyway, have you found a way around this yet?'

[ "To solve this, we have to seal off the location of the leak. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a bit longer since Systema is still looking for that location." ]

'Okay. Just do it fast. Before everyone here dies.'

Erend found that five people suddenly entered and immediately shot him with shots from their guns.

Erend didn't bother to dodge and immediately lunged at them.

He got in front of one of them and kicked his rifle until it shattered.

Then just like before, Erend shot the man from very close range. Killed him instantly.

Suddenly from the side, something hit him and threw him across the room.

Erend's body hit the wall and cracked it.

When Erend looked up, he saw four other people stretching their arms toward him.

Their poses indicated that it was as if they had just released an energy force toward him.

'How is that possible? Have they suddenly learned how to use Magic too?'

Erend immediately stood up.

That's right, they just threw Magic force at him. The four of them used it together as if they were in a collective consciousness.

It quadrupled the power behind the attack.

'Tut? Did they just use Magic?'

[ "I guess so." ]

'But how?'

[ "Due to the influence of that corruption evil Magic." ]

'Shit, this could be bad. If you can't find a way as soon as possible, I'll likely have to kill everyone in here.'

[ "We are trying." ]

The four men emitted a dark red aura from their bodies. Erend recognized those as signs when someone started using Magic.

Erend wasted no time and immediately lunged at them.

Now that he knew that his enemies could use Magic, Erend could predict their next attack.

His rifle had already gone when he was thrown. So Erend fought with his hand. Which is just as lethal.

*SYUUU!*

Erend dodged the force shot by jumping to the side.

The Magic force hit the wall behind him and created a large crack like a sledgehammer.

Erend keeps charging forward. Then he threw a punch toward the man's face.

*BUAGH!*

The punch instantly threw the man backward. The strength that Erend gave through that punch was strong enough to knock him off instantly.

Then Erend turned towards the remaining three people. He grabbed the neck of the man closest to him and lifted him. Then Erend slams him to the floor.

*BRAAKKK!*

The attack knocked him out of consciousness instantly.

Erend dashed towards the remaining two men. He bumped into one of them, throwing him out of the room.

Then he handles the one remaining person. But this time it's quite different.

This man seemed to have learned from his mistakes and decided to keep his distance from Erend.

After that, he raised his submachine gun toward Erend. Then he did something that shocked him.

The man was holding his submachine gun, then Erend saw that dark red aura pouring into the submachine gun.

"What the hell..."

Erend's brow furrowed deeply. But he didn't have time to think any further because the man had already fired his submachine gun.

*DRDRDRDRDD!*

A red flash appeared when he fired. Then the bullets covered in red aura shot towards Erend.

As soon as the bullet hit Erend, he felt immense pressure.

The pressure was able to make him feel something.

'This is bad. Did he just combine Magic with his bullets?'

If that was true, then a new problem had just appeared.

'Tut, this is getting out of hand. Can another infected person do that?'
