The moment the Desert Eagles crosshair was aligned with Reiners right shoulder and the trigger was pulledthe Demon Steel Soldier minion entered as if to cut in there. However, it was impossible for the Demon Steel Soldier, who didnt even have a shield, to completely hide Reiners body from the line of fire.

I realigned the crosshairs in an instant, gliding from the right shoulder to the right handthen pulled the trigger.

A fiery flash came out of the muzzle, followed by a low-pitched gunshot, and then Reiners scream. The .50AE bullet caught him below his elbow. The impact not only detached his lower arm but also shredded it to pieces. That kind of woundnot even healing magic can regrow that hand.

Reiner immediately retreated further backward. This time hiding himself behind two Demon Steel Soldiers. He took off his hood and immediately wrapped it around his wound. Since hes also wearing a mask that covers his mouth, people still wouldnt be able to see his face entirely, but theres no doubt now that hes Reiner.

Guuh Sha, Shaft! ShaftShaftShaaaaaaaaft! I will never forgive you!

Reiner barked at me from behind the Demon Steel Soldiers. But, I wasnt there anymore.

While dodging the club swing from one of the Demon Steel Soldiers, I went to its side and fired once at its gigantic body. Strangely, the .50AE bullet simply vanished, as if being absorbed by the Soldiers body. That shouldnt have happened. Normally, getting hit would cause the target to recoil, get knocked back, or even down due to the power. However, the scale-like steel armor that covers the entire body is not even scratchedthis is just like.

a Mob enemy.

Underneath the Kevlar mask, I involuntarily muttered out the name that I recall as the AI enemies I had faced so many times in the VMB. Mob is a general term for NPCs that are not controlled by the player, such as monsters and AI soldiers in the game.

In the in-game battles, violent expressions such as missing limbs and bloodshed were refrained. At most, there would be spurt of blood when hit by ranged or melee attack. But thats all. The spatter of blood didnt even last that long either. Especially in the mission mode where you fight against AI enemies, there are also missions where you fight extraterrestrial lifeformsso-called alien-like monsters.

The battle with the Demon Steel Soldier reminds me of when VMB was still a VRFPS game. The Soldier swung its six-foot staff around. I lined my crosshair at its head as it attacked like a whirlwind, and pulled the trigger.

The impact of the headshot made it lose its balance. When the fierce attack stopped, I also jumped backwards, and at the same time reloaded the magazinereplacing the mag with a fully loaded one.. The place where I landed was a place where several Central Knights were gathered.

Kuh, Black Mask Shaft? Why are you here?

My escort target was also present at tonights banquetthats all. Rather, Ill leave it to you here and Vee to hold back the enemy reinforcements coming from the outside over there.

Vee, who decided to stay with me in this venue, was keeping the enemies outside from getting into the venue via the hole I made for the Typhoon-K.

Fufufu, are you going to catch me with that level of swordsmanship? Inexperiencedyoure too inexperienced, you low-class intruders!

Against six men dressed in black, Vee danced to avoid their onslaught, treating the intruders as if they were practicing. But, how come that perverted woman is still in stealth?

A barrier is still operating inside the venue that blocks magic and skills. Its obvious when looking at Reiner, who didnt treat his lost right arm with magic, but only ties it up to stop the bleeding. Yet, Vees stealth skill and nimble movement didnt seem to be impeded by the barrier. With her wearing that black leather armor and face mask, it would be weird if I hadnt noticed her at all during the banquet. But, I hadnt at all.

W, we, the Central Knights, are entrusted with the security of this Fly Height. Rather, you should escape immediately. Besides, we must ensure the safety of the Crown Prince and Prince Ark.

The Crown Prince and others have already evacuated to a safer place. Rather, I would like the Knights to join Sir Crude and the others heading underground, and let those who cant fight to escape safely, and

I turned my attention from Vee back to the knights, and then to Reiner who called out to my name in vengeance.

Demon Steel Soldiers! My puppets! Ignore those small fries of knights and kill Shaft for me!

Hearing Reiners barking voice, the four Demon Steel Soldiers who were fighting with the Knights in the venue, and the one embedded in the wall after being hit directly with a sledgehammer, turned their eyes to me. Their eyes glowed red.

as youve heard just now, that intruder is more inclined to me.

B, but, where did the Prince go?

Evacuating together with Duke Barga. Quickly gather your men. There is no guarantee that there wont be an ambush waiting for Sir Crudes group. The attack is most likely not limited to this place alone.

What do you mean

Just go already! And tell Sir Crude that the attackers belong to Rafflesia!

The moment the name of Rafflesia was mentioned, the knights complexion changed. Just by hearing that name, he seemed to have guessed what was going on. I also have no intention of saying that the Second Prince is plotting a rebellion without proof. Even if the possibility is very high, I cant say much at least until I know whats going on outside Flyhigh.

The only thing that is certain now is the fact that the black-clad man with murderous intent in front of us is Reiner, a member of Rafflesia. At the same time as the five Demon Steel Soldiers set me as their first target and started moving, the surviving Central Knights also gathered and rushed towards the basement.

Just before leaving the venue, one of the knights looked at me and said, Black Mask, Ill leave this place to you!.

Im getting tired of having to deal with the Cactus. Ever since the request to escort Lapitirica-sama, they have been relentlessly aiming for Shaftmy life.

Now that I can see their true nature, I cant let them be. Even if my body has a monster-like natural healing power that makes me able to recover from any wound, if they keep hunting me with skills and magics that are supposed to have gone extinct and never letting me to heal, then my life will most likely end there.

In addition, the aim of the Rafflesia was not only the death of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, but also the capture of Chancellor Zephanel.

Its hard to say that Kurtmerga kingdom will remain safe and peaceful but for a Magicless and Trespasser like me to live freely, the current monarchy as well as chancellor Zephanel need to stay in power. Besides I cant handle the thought of Chancellor Zephanel, and those around her especially, being held captive by those people.

The venue of the dinner party had completely changed from the calm and lively atmosphere from a little while ago.

The corpses of knights, waiters, and guests lying miserably everywhere in the venue only added to the grim outlook. Magic attacks from outside have temporarily stopped, but its only a matter of time before the entire building collapses. But from now on, theres no need to worry about accidentally shooting allies. It may cause further damage to bodies and buildings, but my first and foremost goal is to eliminate the enemy.

You can see the six-foot clubs held by the Demon Steel Soldiers turning red, leaving the handle in the center. When I switched my vision to FLIR mode, I could see that both ends of the club started to accumulate a high amount of heat.

Apparently Im not the only onethe Demon Steel Soldiers are about to get serious too.
