How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 17 Chonghuang Shiwang! ×Pan×
He was the only one left in the army.

The Ada Ranger silently set up his gun at the sniper point he hastily selected.

The mission given by the prophet must be completed.

He cast his gaze into the distance. His trained eyes, which were particularly sharp among the Eldar, could clearly see the crowds of heads on the streets in the distance. It was easy to distinguish details that had nothing to do with humans.

He tried to steady his mind and focus on his task, but he couldn't.

After passing through the webway, he was the only one left in the army that came to this world.

He now has no vehicle, no support, and no companions.This is not scary. He is a ranger and a wanderer. He should have been accustomed to acting alone and wandering among the stars with only sparse supplies. He is highly skilled and should be able to complete his mission well under any circumstances.

But he is afraid - not because of the enemy he faces, but because he has so far failed to recognize the enemy.

The prophet might have been able to break through this bloody fog, but she was the first to die in the team.At that time, there were tribe warriors guarding her, and she was also a good fighter herself. They had just passed through the webway gate covertly, and no one thought anything would happen.However, it was just a mistake, a coincidence that no one happened to be looking in that direction, and the prophet disappeared from where she should have been.

No one found out what was going on.This made them wary and they cautiously tried to look for any suspicious signs nearby, but found nothing.It wasn't until 5 minutes later that the prophet reappeared as quietly as she had disappeared.

In a broken and profane way.

This caused the team to fall into a brief panic, and other members began to argue.They weren't sure how it happened, and couldn't decide whether they should continue the mission.As far as the Ranger himself is concerned, he is very sure that this is an ominous omen: it has nothing to do with the waves of fate flowing in the subspace, but simply because this incident obviously indicates that there is an unknown and powerful entity near them, and Not friendly to their arrival.

He believed that whether they were moving forward or retreating, they should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.He made this suggestion. At this time, the people in the team were nervous but still rational, so the correct suggestion was quickly agreed to.They had to spend a little time recovering the Soul Stone of the Prophet - it was more difficult than they originally thought to find the correct location to install the Soul Stone from a pile of indistinguishable blood, minced flesh and armor fragments - They then left as a team and during the count they discovered that two more people were missing from the team.

More violent quarrels broke out among the ranks, which lacked a decisive leader.Some people think that they should find their lost companions to at least recover the Soul Stone, while others think that this proves that they are not welcome here and they should leave immediately.

In any case, the occurrence of this incident once again proved to everyone the seriousness of the situation, and the second quarrel was therefore more intense but shorter.After only 34 seconds, they decided to continue the mission and moved forward to leave the hidden cave where the Webway Gate was located.But when they came to the exit of the cave, they discovered the two people missing from the team.

They were impaled on poles, their flesh and blood were mangled, their limbs were crushed, their flesh was rolled up to expose the bones underneath, their abdominal cavities were cut open, their internal organs were removed, and then deliberately twisted back into incorrect positions, and their faces were peeled off. Go and have your eyes gouged out.There were signs of struggle on their bodies, and they were obviously still alive through it all.All travelers mourned the tragic fate of these two compatriots and recovered their soul stones.Then they once again prepared to get on the vehicle and leave——

——This time, there are four people missing from the team.

This is very obvious because there are two windrider jet bikes parked alone.

They finally panicked.This time they did not engage in unnecessary arguments and waiting, but chose to set off immediately.They jumped into their vehicles and charged into the vast plains of Jestal.They thought they could get rid of the unknown monster this way, but——

The ranger took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now he was alone.

Under such circumstances, the reason why he still chose to continue completing the mission was actually very simple and realistic: his vehicle was destroyed, and he was obviously much closer to the mission target than the Webway Gate. He judged his survival rate when he returned. will be very low.

In fact, if he insists on completing the mission, his survival rate will obviously not be very good, but that will at least successfully eliminate one variable for the future.He believes that he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his life will disappear in such an unclear way. Before that, he will neither be able to pass information and intelligence back to the Ark world where he came from, nor can he successfully complete the prophetic delivery. task.

Driven by this fear, he raised his ranger rifle and aimed accurately at the crowd in the distance.

Before arriving at this place of death, everyone in the team shared a vague vision from the prophet: a young human girl with orange hair and short stature.This was the source of danger that they had to eradicate - he didn't know why a seemingly ordinary little human girl would become a "source of danger", but he believed in the judgment of the prophet and that was enough.He had to do this for the sake of the galaxy.

The girl stood defenseless on the edge of the crowd, stopped in place, only talking to her friend.He knew that the girl didn't notice him at all a kilometer away.This task should have been easy.he thinks.Then he forced himself to calm down again.

The weather was sunny, the field of vision was good, there was no haze or suspended dust in the air that might deflect light, and a little breeze could not interfere with the trajectory of the energy weapon.The Ada Ranger gently breathed in, out, in - he realized that this position was not a foolproof sniping spot: too close, too obvious, easily giving away the position.But he believes that his perfected skills can make up for these minor shortcomings.

If you can defeat an enemy with one strike, you don't have to think about what to do if the opponent chooses to counterattack.

The Elda Ranger ordered himself to calm down and focus one last time, and then completely focused his consciousness on aiming.

A second later, he pulled the trigger.

+He's going to take action. +
+Understand. +——
Fujimaru Ritsuka pushed away Alita beside him.

She had fought against the Eldar in the illusion, and she knew how fast they could be.If she relied solely on her own ability, she could barely catch up with their rapid movement with her eyes - that was the eyesight she had trained under the guidance of many followers of Chaldea.

Savita ran away with the girl. At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that he could not resist this opponent with his own strength.

Even if there is only one Eldar, they are just as dangerous.

——It’s impossible to catch up like this!

The turquoise light flowed like breathing through the seams of the exoskeleton, and the premonitions honed by wandering between life and death for a long time screamed in her mind.Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively chose to follow her roaring premonition and slightly changed the upcoming technique: -

Concept excerpt·The small world surrounding the sky (Akhilleus Kosmos)-
The buckler emerged from the void, and at that moment, the grips and straps naturally and tightly fit her hands and arms.She followed her instinct and raised her hand to the right, and felt a slight vibration in the next moment.

The feel was different than she had expected, but that was okay.Fujimaru Ritsuka has this confidence.

The shield of Achilles is a minimal reproduction of a world created by Hephaestus, the god of fire, with his exquisite skills. As an armor that holds the concept of "world", its defensive power is undoubtedly top-notch.Even if it is not developed in a magical sense, its physical defense as a Noble Phantasm can rival that of a whole world.And the thing it is trying to defend now will most likely not be able to penetrate it.

No matter how strong the penetrating power of single-molecule crystals or thin wires is, they are still mass-produced individual weapons for the army.Of course, such a single weapon cannot destroy an entire world.

However, although there was no problem with the defense, the touch from the shield told Fujimaru Ritsuka that she was not hit by those two weapons.

There was a little scream of terror from the crowd, and Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately put down the shield that blocked his vision, looked around and looked for the location of the enemy.This action made her first discover the source of the crowd's screams: it was not that there was an alien that should not appear in the city, but that a heavy sculpture on the outer wall of the third floor of the building in front of her was somehow removed. The force suddenly cut off most of the load-bearing structure, and it was teetering in a dangerous manner with a dangerous sound of stone fracture.

It can't hit anyone.Fujimaru Ritsuka judged this.The crowd had begun to push and dodge slightly, but because the situation seemed to be under control, no one panicked too much.Therefore, she did not need to consider the issue of rescue, and was able to focus on the fracture that seemed to have been melted, and then found a poisonous needle and the slight scorch mark that fell with it on the shield in her hand.

Energy weapon, equipped with poisonous needle.She thought calmly amidst the bustle of people.The poisonous needle remained on the shield, and the energy was bounced in other directions due to the reflectivity of the smooth shield surface.Here's what happened.And the Eldar weapons that fit this description——

Fujimaru Ritsuka cast his gaze into the distance.The slight impact caused by the poisonous needle on the shield perfectly marked the direction of the projectile for her.

Through her magic-enhanced eyes, she saw the form of the Eldar ranger.

--This is impossible!
The Eldar Ranger looked in shock at the uninjured girl in the distance and the shield that somehow appeared in her hand.

How on earth did she react in advance?How did she know when I was going to shoot?Where did her shield come from?she--

——She found this place!
This was not a foolproof sniper spot, but being discovered so quickly by his opponent still exceeded his expectations.He knew that he should change his position now and move to the next sniper point, but in that case, his target would obviously blend into the crowd and disappear into the sea.The ranger is left alone, and there is no prophet to point out the target's possible location - besides, what if it is discovered?That human girl obviously doesn't have a long-range shooting weapon!
If he could still think calmly, he would have realized that a shield had just appeared inexplicably in the hands of his target; if he could still think calmly, he would have adopted a more cautious and prudent sniper plan, but he could not.He didn't know when the invisible killing monster would catch up with him, and he arrogantly believed that this task should be simple——

He therefore made the wrong decision: He was going to pull the trigger again where he was.

What did she take out?That's... a bow and arrow?What on earth was she doing with an ineffective weapon that should only be displayed in a museum?
The Eldar ranger was puzzled.

This was his last thought before he was destroyed by a volley explosion comparable to a ballistic missile.

　I wrote a few thoughts about the setting in relation to the work.It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it.
