Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 457

 

Prey



"An unidentified individual is rapidly approaching from the side!"


The thing is coming from the direction indicated by the observer.


"Yukikaze-sama sent a message. The individual in question is called Vouivre. We have determined it to be a fully hostile entity and have been given permission to attack!"


"Aim anti-aircraft machine guns at it, and use ground machine guns as well!"


"All guns ready!"


"Fire away!"


The sound of gunfire echoes through the airship's command center.


Tracer bullets mixed with bullets fly straight towards the enemy.


A wide range of fires that can truly be called area control.


"No, not all bullets hit!"


I can see it too


Vouivre deftly twists its body to avoid the bullets.


Still, it won't stop approaching


"Shoot without gaps, what's going on with the automatic aiming system!"


"The automatic aiming system is not working!"


At that moment, we got a message from fire control.


"This is the fire control, an abnormal situation has occurred! An abnormal situation has occurred!"


"This is the general control, what’s going on!"


"The moment the automatic aiming system was aimed at it, the function stopped!"


"What?!"


"Oh, shit! Power output is dropping. there's no limit to it! It won't stop decreasing!"


Vouivre is approaching at high speed, unaware of the confusion here.


"Prepare the ballista, hit it with the Divine Spear!"


"U-understood! All members, prepare to launch the Divine Spear!"


Point the bow of the airship at Vouivre.


"The shooting recoil function does not work!"


"Turn all power to forward movement and the ballista! Immediately after firing, switch to normal mode!"


I understand that I am giving unreasonable orders.


But I decided that there was no other way.


"Understood. I'll show you how to switch it in 0.05 seconds!"


I would like to thank my subordinates for their willingness to do such a crazy thing.


"Automatic aiming is not working, aim well with your eyes!"


"Pull it in! Make sure you hit the target!"


In the worst-case scenario, I don't care if the ship gets destroyed.


The important thing is to fly long enough for everyone to escape.


"Fire!"


Everyone is clinging to chairs and railings.


But the recoil from the Divine Spear is still too much.


Several people were blown against the wall and are in pain.


I myself feel a pain as if my internal organs are being crushed.


That's how much impact this Divine Spear has


If it were shot into the ground, it would punch a hole in the ground big enough to hold a whole city.


"You monster..."


But that thing


Vouivre accepted it.


The Divine Spear went into the monster's mouth.


"It's out of control!"


"Power! Mana is flowing out! It's going to crash!"


"Vouivre's tail is wrapped around the entire airship!"


"Damn it! All hands off the ship!"


"All members leave the ship! All members leave the ship!"


"Everyone is equipped with parachutes!"


"Jump, don't hesitate! We're gonna get eaten!"


I hear the sound of the ship creaking


"Captain, escape!"


"I'll go last, give priority to others!"


"…Aye!"


The sound gets stronger


The whole ship is distorted


I understood


The auto-aim was designed to aim the muzzle of the gun at the position where it reflected the mana of the enemy.


The fact that it didn't work means it wasn't reflected.


And as the enemy approached, the power using mana weakened.


More than anything


"Damn, this could be my ouster..."


Even after escaping with a parachute, Vouivre ignores us and wraps itself around the airship, tightening it.


While making its body huge


And, I


I decided that it was a being that used mana to become stronger.
