Manuke FPS Chapter 138

On top of the wall consisted of the cave where Kada lived, its size different to the other caves inside. However, it was not large enough to deal with a 1-v-1 situation. The harbor rested several tens of meters down, and if you fell from this height, you’d die instantly… 

I brought my machete for CQB, but it seemed rather difficult to use in here without careful timing. Kada also hid his body behind his large double-edged viking ax like a shield, maybe weary of my Five-seveN. 

Are you accustomed to fighting with directional magic tools similar to firearms…? … If I moved the muzzle to aim for the unprotected parts, would you notice what I was aiming for? He dexterously rotated the ax to cover where I aimed. 

Perhaps he understood that the muzzle indicated the direction I was aiming. His mouth was distorted. 

“What’s happening Skeleton? I think you said your name was Yona? It seems like you’re a ridiculously high-ranked undead with a name, but you’re still a skeleton after all!” 

“Do you think your ax can prevent my attack?” 

The lower layers were getting louder and louder. I wanted to incapacitate him before pirates arrived and pushed me into a pincer attack. I stopped hesitating, put my crosshairs on his right foot and pulled the trigger. 

He blocked the shot with his ax, his face distorting for a moment from the concussion of the shot and the impact. At that moment, the crosshairs were on his face. Perhaps he understood where the muzzle was pointed, so he tried to block it with his ax. 

“Then you can’t see the next one, you idiot.”

Two went towards his head, then two more to his left thigh.  

“Guaa!” 

Kada prevented the shots to his head, but due to not being able to see where I aimed next, I hit his thigh as the 5.7x28mm penetrated it. Aiming for this moment, I charged in with the machete. Kada took the swing with his ax and the blades collided. 

Considering the weight difference between the two weapons, the machete should have been pushed back. However, it is embedded with VMB’s durability and assisted with the power suit. Perhaps he was frustrated by how I was able to meet his strike with such a small thin weapon that he brought the weapon down with an overhead string. 

I evaded the strike and shot the man’s elbow in his swinging arm. I won’t kill him yet because I needed to get more information from him. 

“Kuu!” 

Kada almost let go of the ax because of the pain that shot through his limb. But he managed to immediately switch to another hand and tried to shake me off. I jumped some distance back before shooting again. I aimed for his left shoulder and pulled the trigger twice. 

His battle ax seemed quite hard and received the shots without seeming to take much damage. However, with his thigh and elbow damaged, he couldn’t hold out. 

“Gu, guu.”

I aligned the crosshair with his right foot as he moved back, shooting twice to disable his foot. 

“Captain Kada!” 

“Captain!” 

The pirates came up from behind. The blips were not displayed due to them being on a different level, but I could hear them as four people came up.

I aimed at them and shot twice, blowing the heads of two of them. I immediately dashed towards the stairs, kicked one of the downed pirates and pushed him down onto the ones behind on the stairs. 

“Woah!”

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

“It hurts!” 

They were crushed by the bodies of their friends who fell on them. I looked down at the two who’d fallen and pressed them down. I then executed them. With two rounds left in the magazine, I reloaded. The Five-seveN alone would not be enough to wipe them out, however, for the time being it would be okay.

“What?!”

When I looked back as I exchanged the magazines, Kada was trying to support himself on the railing — no, he was trying to get over the railing. 

“Bastard, what –”

“Yona! You underestimated me too much. You did not want to kill me… the pirate fleet is in the sea, and if there is water, I can’t lose!” 

Kada shouted and threw himself over towards the harbor. Some unpleasant premonition overcame me. I immediately switched to the M24A2, aimed at the falling man, and fired. It seemed I got the hit just before he landed, but I couldn’t see exactly where. A large column of water shot up, and the water turned red. And the red shrunk rapidly. 

“It was regrettable, Yona. It was only my right hand that you blew away.” 

Kada’s scream could be heard from the water where one of the half-sunk ships stuck out. His right hand emerging, completely mangled. No, to be precise, it had taken the hit and began to assimilate with the seawater before swelling into a tentacle. 

“Are you really a beastmen? You look like a demon in my eyes.”

“I don’t want to hear that from you, bonehead! Here, this is my skill [Water Flow Operation]; if I can touch water, I can manipulate it as I see fit!” 

What’s that… Even though I rarely saw people with unique skills, it seemed that they were a troublesome lot. 

Kada made a throne of seawater. Sitting there, he looked up at me and laughed. The torn hand flowed into the water tentacles, returning to his body and shining. It reattached to his forearm. 

So, it’s like a fish that was given water, only that it was a lion instead, huh. So, you could also heal using magic water? … It’s okay to act calm and all, but how’d you prevent being shot by my sniper? Everything is over once your head gets blown away with a single hit, isn’t it? At the moment our eyes crossed, in that instant, I aimed down; aligning with his face and firing. 

I thought I had to interrogate Kada to know where the circle led. Where the people went, and who was sponsoring them. But now it seemed like a pipe dream — First of all, I needed to fight for my life with all my might… 

I thought the 7.62x51mm NATO round would have blown his face away, but Kada sunk into the throne along with the round. Its trajectory flew off to the side of his head… This bastard…
