Chapter 277 – Change

#277.

-Shoot it…

Late in the evening, I climbed onto the deck and counted the stars in the night sky. It’s hard to find the difference, but everyone expresses their presence with their own sparkle.

The sound of footsteps came from behind me as the sea breeze blew my hair and the thick smell of the sea brushed my nose.

“Here you are.”
“Ah, Captain. Are you leaving now?”
“Okay. I have to go quickly and wait.”

The three days passed quickly. After the meeting, I stayed at home and only practiced. Wouldn’t it be impossible to waste time in the situation ahead of a fight?

After training like that, now we were facing the subjugation of Lugaros. How many victims will there be today?

It is self-evident that the sacrifice will increase more than the power is divided. Kiris, who was looking up at the night sky blankly as if thinking the same thing, turned her head to me.

“Anyway, do you really need anything?”
“Yes. I really don’t know right now. If I need anything later, I’ll tell you.”

Personal reward. I haven’t been able to answer the suggestion Kiris gave me right after the meeting. That’s because I didn’t really want anything right now.

Eliminating the Church of Destruction will not be accomplished by telling Kiris. Likewise, it can’t help me to raise my level.

Then what can I wish for Kiris? There was no easy answer to that.

“If you are, there is nothing you can do. … You must be tired, but you can sleep. After all, there will be nothing to do until we reach Lucitina Sea.”
“Yes. All right.”

About five minutes after Kiris returned to her office, the boat departed.

When the ship arrives at a sea area above a certain depth, the ship starts to submerge. Thin air bubbles block the night sky, and soon the water surface swallows the stars.

The shimmering lights reflected in the water disturbed his vision.

After looking up at that figure for a while, I went into my room and started my personal training.

***

─Smart

“Yes. I’m leaving.”

Time passes, and the dawn is just breaking, and the light pushes away the darkness in the early morning. Until then, I had been sitting in the same seat and thinking about my thoughts, but I got off the bed at the sound of a knock and headed for the door.

Kiik-

“Orbin. Have you arrived?”
“Yes. We will arrive at our destination in 10 minutes. The captain asked me to prepare in advance.”
“All right. I will prepare and go up soon.”
“Then I will go first and wait for you.”

Orveen briefly told her business, then turned and disappeared toward her deck. Thinking that another battle was coming, I stared blankly at the corridor for a while, then headed to the deck after finishing my preparations.

“Sir Tru. You are here.”
“Yes. I’m the most late. Sorry.”
“Haha… It’s okay.”

First of all, Bangi had a brief conversation with Orvin, then looked straight ahead.

Kiris stood in the middle of the numerous members. Kiris, who was staring at the water with his back showing, suddenly raised his hand and brought it to his right eye, then removed the eyepatch.

“Come. Then I will explain the operation.”

Brilliant purple eyes. Purple eyes shimmering brightly, as if they contained all the mysteries of the world, swayed fiercely. There is a look of surprise on my face.

It is not surprising that Kiris, a descendant of the Karleja royal family, has a demonic eye, but the demonic eye she has seen for the first time in her life shocked her heart.

Her eyes, as if penetrating the very existence of me, made her heart grow cold. But it wasn’t just terrifying and alien.

Rather, she developed an unknown possessive feeling. In those eyes, a strange longing for only me to be contained rises.

Kiris turned her gaze away from me, who was engulfed by her magic and couldn’t take her eyes off her.

For a while, I felt a sense of loss as my image disappeared from the beautiful purple eyes. She belatedly sensed that her condition was strange and activated her light-viewing index.

It’s like when you’re first exposed to Karut’s pheromone. Of course, it doesn’t show as violent effects as then, but it could be more dangerous.

Karut’s pheromone was clearly visible enough to detect abnormalities, but it wasn’t a demonic eye.

If Kiris was an enemy, she could have died without even knowing that she was bewitched and had wind holes pierced all over her body while staring at her blankly.

If it’s strange, it’s that the other members are fine.

‘Am I weird…’

The moment our eyes met, I was so fascinated that I couldn’t look away, but the members seemed to be unconcerned.

Kiris, who looked around everyone, opened her mouth.

“Now, within 30 minutes, Lugaros will pass by here. True and I will prioritize eliminating Lugaros, so all you have to do is hold on. That’s our win. Got it?”

─Yes! Captain!!

In fact, there is no such thing as an operation. That’s also the case, just wait and kill the boss with an ambush when the enemy passes by.

They can’t even penetrate our current whereabouts. Significant differences in information only produced one-sided results.

Kiris, who had been waiting for a moment, stopped talking and met her eyes with me again.

“True. As I said before, you face Lugaros head-on, and I will keep pace. Will you be okay though?”

Although Kiris is not particularly weak in close-range combat, the gun itself is powerful at long distances.

It was a fact that did not change even if he exerted superhuman strength through the intangible energy called Aura.

Even if Kiris fires magic bullets from behind at regular intervals, the enemy cannot properly focus on me. If so, I just need to aim for that gap.

Moreover, looking at the fact that he took off his eyepatch, it seems that he will definitely exert his full strength in this fight, but I am looking forward to what kind of mysterious ability he will show.

“No problem. If you don’t help me too late like last time.”
“… Don’t worry about that It’s because we’re still together this time.”
“It is a romantic word. I will only trust the leader.”
“…”

When I cracked a joke to relieve tension, or to see Kiris’ funny reaction, my brows began to furrow.

Still, he didn’t open his mouth. I just turned my back to avoid my gaze.

Time passed like that, and after about 30 minutes, Lugaros showed up.

Perhaps because the water was so clear, I could see the boats swaying the surface of the water from afar. At this time, there are no ships other than those that will pass this place.

Seeing that, Kiris also sharpened her eyes. The demon’s eyes emitted a purple glow, and at the same time, the aura began to compress in the pistol she was holding on her right hand.

The strange thing was that it was not detected at all by the senses.

Normally, an aura of this magnitude should be felt from a distance, but my feelings were just calm.

It was like this when I fought Siraster the other day. I didn’t even know Kiris was coming until the red flash flew.

I don’t know the details, but that must be one of my abilities as a magic bullet shooter. The gun itself is inevitably strong against surprise.

So, of course, until then, you shouldn’t be seen by the enemy. Therefore, it shows an excellent strength in hiding the aura.

A few more minutes passed, and when the ship of Rugaros reached the top, the amount of aura that even I was terrified was compressed into the pistol.

“Whoa… Are you all ready?”

Kiris looked around and asked if they were ready. Everyone nodded silently at the question, and Kiris immediately raised her pistol.

At the same time, a magic circle is created in front of the muzzle the moment the demonic eye flashes as if resonating. The red aura that enveloped the entire gun, as if it were about to explode at any moment, was fired from the muzzle at once.

Kwaaaaang—!

The moment the compressed aura passed through the magic circle, a huge pillar of purple light crossed the surface of the water.

The moment the light flashed, it had already pierced the Lugaros pirate ship. A colossal amount of aura is shot in the form of a column at terrifying speed, so its penetrating power is indescribable.

Apparently aiming for the keel, the pirate ship of Lugaros stopped and tipped over. Scared to confirm it, Kiris turned her gaze to me.

I nodded and immediately pulled the platinum from my waist and jumped to the surface.

Pew!

The moment the body was shot at supersonic speed, a huge column of water gushed out. I feel eerie beyond the sea water that obscures my vision.

“Ahhh!”

Kwaaaaang!!

The anchor flew in with a shout. As soon as I blocked it, the column of water that had been wrapping around me burst out at once.

The anchor, which continued the confrontation for a while, is struck again as if it is not even going to be enough.

Quung!

With a heavy sound, tremendous pressure was applied to the whole body.

Lugaros. A person who uses an anchor as a weapon and uses an aura that can freely increase or decrease weight.

As if to prove that, his anchor was large enough, but it gave me a tremendous weight that was incomparable to its size.

I wonder if Atlas, who was said to hold up the sky in Greek mythology, felt like this. A tremendous weight was pressing down on me.

Moment of such confrontation.

Fishuong-

Kiris’s attack flew.

It was incomparably weaker than the previous blow, but that didn’t mean it could be blocked. Probably, if he was hit head-on, even if it was Rugaros, he would suffer a piercing wound that would pierce his body.

“Shit! A year like a rat! “

Rugaros let out a double curse and pushed me back with force.

It was said that he could freely reduce his weight, so he made his body lighter, so he fluttered and swam in the air with a butterfly-like movement.

However, Kiris’ attacks did not end there.

The red flash that had passed by Rugaros and soared across the sky suddenly turned purple, and then turned its trajectory and headed back to Rugaros.

‘It’s a guided missile!’

I don’t know exactly, but Kiris’s demonic eye seems to have the power to freely move magic bullets.

After confirming that, I felt reassured and attacked Lugaros at the same time as the magic bullet.
