Offensive
Aiming over the crosshair
The target is a lump of meat falling from the sky
The distance is 240km
When I pulled the trigger, the railgun made a roaring sound.
"...Target hit."
The lump of meat deviates from its falling trajectory and falls into the sea.
"How are you doing?"
A colleague came to take my place.
"There's no particular change."
"I see, it seems that the chaos within the empire is calming down."
"That's right, we're doing our best here. Above all, the evacuation is progressing, right?"
"Apparently, 70% of civilians have been evacuated to the deep world."
"What about other continents?"
"It's not as good as the Empire, but it seems to be progressing. Except for the Holy Kingdom."
We received a report that there is a catastrophe in the Holy Kingdom.
It is said that the cause was that the conditions were met in the Holy Kingdom to enable the monster named Malice Eater.
"I think dispatching the knights was a failure."
"I can't blame anyone. Can you imagine that there are conditions that can't be explained with such logic?"
"I guess that’s true too…"
We can't blame Yukikaze-sama.
Since she is probably the one who blames herself the most for the loss of contact with most of the temple knights sent to the Holy Kingdom.
-Railgun number 37, can you hear me?-
While searching for enemies in the sky, a message suddenly comes in.
It's from the Railgun General Headquarters.
"This is Railgun number 37, what’s going on?"
-I can't contact number 34. Can you see it from there?-
"Understood, I'll check now."
Lowering the crosshair and checked the ground
Number 34 is 2 kilometers from here.
"Checking Raildun number 34… General Headquarters!"
-What's wrong!-
"Railgun number 34 is crumpled!"
Immediately after that communication, the observed railgun begins to explode and burst into flames.
"34th Raildun is destroyed! I repeat, 34th Railgun is destroyed!"
-If it's destroyed, check the others!-
-This is number 27. Something flew at number 18! Number 18 got destroyed!-
-Confirming the major damage in number 15! Something flew from the sea...-
-Respond, number 15! Check numbers 27 and 15!-
-This is number 27…-
-27th got destroyed! It’s from the sea! Water from the sea...-
-Number 6, with just one blow...-
-This is number 14, something illuminated...-
Communication is interrupted one after another
I had a really bad feeling
"Hey, let's go outside!"
"Y-yeah!"
The barrel of our railgun, number 37, started melting the moment we got out of the base of the railgun.
"Lie down!"
"What's this…"
My partner didn't lie down.
There's a burnt hole in his face
"Optical weapon...?"
-Number 37, can you hear me?-
Our railgun was badly damaged, but it seems our communications equipment was barely intact.
"I hear you, our Railgun have been hit! Where it is? The firing point?"
-It's from the sea! I have no contact with the others...-
Communication with the General Headquarters is interrupted.
At about the same time, a large explosion can be seen from the direction of the General Headquarters.
"General Headquarters, respond! General Headquarters, don't joke around!"
-………………-
There was no communication after that.
I lie on my back and look at the sky
"...Haha..."
Despairing at the sight
"What, is that what you meant?"
A Malice Eater is falling
The number is 1
Only one
"You monster..."
Its size can be seen even from far away
Probably comparable in size to the imperial capital.
The estimated diameter is over 10 km.
"Damn it, what should I do..."
Normal Malice Eaters are coming at us from the sea as well.
I noticed that it had abnormally enlarged eyes and realized that it was the one that had destroyed the railgun.
"Uwaaa!"
I hear a scream a little far away
There are people like me who survived and are running away.
When the giant-eyed Malice Eater looked at them, a burnt hole appeared in their body and they died.
"No!"
When they were shown this and tried to escape by crawling, they were grabbed by the Malice Eater and their whole body was torn off by force until they died.
Escape is impossible
I don't want to die like that
Did anyone else think so besides me?
Gunshots can be heard everywhere
It's not the sound of a coil gun.
Gunpowder pistol firing sound
Shots are echoing everywhere.
It didn't take long for one of those shots to ring in my mouth.
