Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 489

 

Make Light Of



"Hoh, even though they're lower creatures, they can't be underestimated."



The commander answers while looking down on the elf descendant.



"There are bullets flying here as well, but there is no damage."


"I guess so. Is the almana quantum contained?"



The most worrying thing is the almana quantum in the atmosphere.


The only threat to us is substances that cause rapid aging of the body.



"No, it's a complete physical attack."



Bullets are also being fired at the biological weapon that was released into the ground, but it seems to be less effective.



"A transmission from the transport ship Mackenzie."



The radio operator begins reporting to the commander.



"It seems they have completed protecting and containing the local life forms that sympathized with us."


"Yeah, they're lowly creatures pretending to be kings. Tell them to treat them with respect."


"Roger that"



It doesn't matter whether the commander is present or not, but I decided that I could at least get some information.



"Then let's get started. Ready the main gun!"


"Understood, deploy the main gun. Repeat, deploy the main gun."


"All personnel deploy for combat. Activate anti-quantum protective suits and anti-quantum shield generators."



The shutter attached to the front of the ship opens and the main gun rises.


Buildings made of wood and stone could be blown away without leaving a trace.



"The goal is… what is that building?"


"According to the lowly creatures we contained, this is a council chamber."


"It seems like they are arrogant, lowly creatures who are playing politics. Then, the target is the chamber."


"Understood, aim the main gun to the huge building in front."


"Fire!"



The commander gives the launch order.


But there was no response from the main gun.



"……What's wrong?"


"The head gunner is not responding!"


"What? What about the workers nearby?"


"It seems they are heading towards the main gun now."



After a while, another worker contacted us.


I can feel the impatience and fear in that voice.



"This is the third maintenance team! The main gun workers are wiped out!"


"What's happening!"


"I don't understand, everyone's head is crushed and they're dead! ...What? There's a light..."



At the end of those words, static comes into the communication.


An explosion occurs immediately after that


The main gun is miserably distorted and spitting fire.



"T-there's a light-emitting object from the front. Huge Almana quantum reaction!"


"Activate the ship's shield!"



Luminous objects are falling


Not one or two


Dozens of lights aimed at the ship from the sky


It undulated toward the ship as it fell



"All bullets have penetrated the shield!"


"That's stupid! It's a shield that can even prevent synthetic dragon attacks!"



The light bullet that penetrated the shield moves around as if it has a will.



"What? Someone is controlling that..."



As if it had found something, the light bullet was heading towards the bridge.


It quickly penetrated everything and blew off the heads of several bridge personnel, including the commander.


Is it good luck or bad luck?


I was safe


At that point, our ship was finished.


Before I knew it, the hull was full of holes and I could only hear screams over the communications.


There are fires from all over


The steering engine on the bridge is also completely broken.



No, I'm out of luck


The ship is tilting to the point where it is impossible to fly.


It fell to the ground


I will experience the hell of living for a short time in a crashing ship from which I cannot escape.
