Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 318
# 318
318. Mission Type Transcendence (3)
Aaron put his hand to his ear.
A sound came from the small communicator plugged into the ear.
[Who is Frey?]
Siris’ voice.
[No results found. It is an unidentified object. It doesn’t seem to be a residual deity or monster. Presumed to be a mutant contaminant!]
A mutant contaminant.
Aaron narrowed his eyes.
‘It’s strange.’
I had a bad feeling.
[Turnet stop transmission for a moment.]
[Looks like I’ve got something to do.]
Aaron looked around.
Sleipnir, who was advancing through the middle of the city, was remarkably slow.
Rocket fuel gushed out of the aft end of the airship, but it did not come out at the proper speed.
‘Is that guy interfering?’
Judging by the back and forth of the conversation, it seemed that a mutant contaminant with the code name ‘Fray’ had interfered with the Airship’s system.
“Why are you procrastinating? Entrusting Nihaku has its limits.”
Lidigion looked at Nihaku on the deck.
She was running on the building next to the airship, shooting torpedoes around her.
[There’s a problem,]
Yurnet said in a low voice.
Speed is the life of this mission. It was necessary to cover the field as quickly as possible before the contaminants that detected the intruder rushed in. However, if this kind of variable occurs…
[This is an unexpected situation. The airship’s engines are damaged. It’s not physical damage, but you won’t be able to speed up in this state.]
Kyaaaaa!
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
“Eulachachacha!”
Nihaku was busy running around with the taints.
In the meantime, anti-aircraft gun barrels fired.
[hacking. This is remote interference. With this level of interference… it can be compared to a low-class deity. I think I need to go back.]
“It’s about removing the mutant contaminants.”
Lidigion reached for the hilt.
“There is no time. What are his coordinates?”
[Backtrack complete. Emergency engine start. From now on, Sleipnir will start tracking down the unidentified object ‘Fray’.]
Clap.
A portion of the airship’s side opened and a large propeller protruded.
Sleipnir’s direction took a turn to the right.
[I’ll leave the role of dealing with the target to the two of you.]
“Any information on him?”
[As a result of analyzing the wavelength, it is a god mimic.]
“It’s a fairy.”
[It must have been seriously contaminated. Be careful.]
Lidigion nodded.
‘fairy.’
Aaron drew in a breath.
“Isn’t that strange?”
“What’s strange?”
“According to Mr. Sizel’s explanation, I heard that all the fairies were evacuated from Server 1. But why…”
“There are stragglers everywhere.
“But…”
“Aaron Nidelk. What is our goal, haven’t we been informed?”
Ridigion’s eyes grew cold.
‘I know.’
“Saving my brother.
Aaron also fully realized what was important.
Even if one or two of the members here died, that goal had to be achieved.
“Our goal is to save the Master. If it gets in the way of your mission, get rid of it. If you are going to live as a hero of Niflheim, know it.”
“….”
“Let’s go.”
Ridigion tapped on the railing
. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee
! The engine won’t last long. Please finish it in 30 minutes. I’ll go back to transmission work.]
“Remember. Nihaku!”
“Yep yep! Follow me!”
Nihaku, who hit the roof of the building, did a series of somersaults and ran down the side of the building. It
was noticeably slower than before, so he was able to follow the airship from outside.
“Don’t worry about the minnows, just focus on the mission!”
“That’s right.”
Thump!
The thunderbolt’s lightning swept over the group of contaminants that fell onto the deck.
“Don’t come…don’t
come …”
The voice of the contaminant rang again.
“I have to protect… I have to protect…”
”
I don’t know what you’re protecting,”
Ridigion sneered.
His hand was already in the scabbard
. It turned to the left.
Less than 100m to the target’s location.
Knock!
The airship shook once more and a loud warning sounded.
[Teeling!]
[The airship ‘Sleipnir”s self-destruct system is activated. It has been done.]
[Estimated time – 00:20:00]
[Sir Siris!] The
operator shouted
urgently. Throwing it out.]
Self-destruct.
Aaron looked back.
Red lights indicating an emergency were flashing on the deck.
[Siris. Circumstances have changed. Take care of the target within 20 minutes.]
“20 minutes.”
[ Deploying Yurnet may prevent self-destruction, but the transmission operation is too delayed. Any more is dangerous. We must complete Bifrost before reaching the barrier.] “Enough
time. I’ll take care of it within 10 minutes.”
Beep.
Lidigion turned off the power to the communicator.
Then, he turned to Aaron.
“Rookie, it’s not time to weigh the situation.”
“….
” I’ll take care of it myself.”
Aaron lowered his head.
‘Should I kill him?’
What Ridigion said was not wrong.
If Sleipnir is lost, the success rate of the operation will drop to less than 1/10.
It means that you have to go through the monsters blocking the way with your bare body.
“I promised… come out… Together…」
“Cleaning is over! There don’t seem to be many enemies here!”
Nihaku landed on the deck.
His whole body was stained with the black blood of the Contaminant.
He had dealt with hundreds of monsters without difficulty
. Is it?”
“It seems that he gained strength while eating other contaminants. For hundreds of years.”
The airship slipped under the overpass.
Just as Ridigion said, the number of pollutants rapidly decreased at some point.
Only a hazy fog enveloped the street.
Not too far away, in a shabby park vacant lot. A girl was standing there staggering.
“Uh… Uh…”
The
girl hugged her body.
She was wearing a dirty one-piece dress.
Her face was hidden in the shadows and she couldn’t see it properly.
Her curly black hair hung all the way down to her bare feet. [ Warning
!]
[
Special Pollution
Lv
. ‘That
girl
is Frey.’
Its appearance is completely different from the fairies Aaron has seen.
It does not have the wings characteristic of fairies, and although it is small, it has a decent human appearance. It
must be because it has spent a lot of time here.
‘It seems that there is no rationality.’
Frey’s eyes were hollow.
She was just complaining with a dazed expression.
The 1st server affected by the vigilance said that hundreds of years had already passed.
In the cloud of pollution, that fairy’s spirit must have been slowly ruined. “I miss you…”
Sleipnir stopped
30m in front of the girl.
At
that
moment .
Lidigion’s toes stood on top of a dried tree branch. The
thin
branch didn’t shake at all.
A feat like a miracle.
Lidigion leaped once more.
The distance of tens of meters was reduced in three seconds.
Fairy ‘s level is 213.
It has penetrated the security of Sleipnir with dozens of layers of firewalls.
It was a much stronger entity than a normal contaminant, but it was nothing compared to him.
” Come… Do
n’t! ”
A wave exploded where he was standing.
Lidigion lightly escaped the blast radius and approached Frey.
Pupperpuff!
Left. Up. Down. Right.
Lidegion’s body bent with an afterimage.
Not even a single attack could reach him. A pitch
-black spear stretched out from behind Frey’s back.
The tip of the spear split into dozens of branches and aimed at Lidigion’s whole body. The
basic weapon skill was footwork.
The movements that reached the stage were like magic. The spear knew
how
to avoid his body. [ Estimated
time – 00:16:27]
Sreung.
The attitude was pulled out of the scabbard.
The straight blade slid into the girl’s throat.
“Ah… ah… ah!
” “I’ll cut it.
I’ll cut it off. Strength was put on Lidigion’s wrists.
And…
Kang!
A crude spearhead blocked the blade.
Ridigion stopped.
“Ugh… uh… uh…”
The girl hesitated. “What are you doing
?”
Ridigion said in a cold voice. It
was
Aaron, the fourth member of the 13th floor, who deflected his blade.
Kigi Gigi Geek!
The blade and the spearhead collided and sparks flew.
Aaron’s body was pushed back, but he never let go of the spear.
“Help me… Loki…”
Aaron looked back.
Frey was holding her head and crying.
“It’s not possible.”
“Move.”
Suddenly, the blade of Lidigion disappeared.
“Big!”
Kang!
Aaron instinctively swung the spear.
My eyes flashed with the pain of breaking my wrist.
“Get out of the way.”
“It’s not possible!”
Aaron gritted it.
Hundreds of blades moved before his eyes.
The description of swordsmanship fantasy.
Cagan!
The tip of the spear deflected the attitude.
“Kuk!”
A long line of blood was drawn on Aaron’s left thigh.
If he had reacted just a little too late, his leg would have been amputated.
“No two times.”
“You mustn’t kill me!”
Aaron gritted it.
“That girl was the fairy in charge of Taoni.”
“Taoni? Is it where the master was?”
“yes.”
I thought it was somehow familiar.
‘You’re a burden to Han. stupid guy! A subject with no talent.’
When I was in Taonier, I used to get bullied by fairies.
Why can’t you just do that?
but.
‘joy! Take this.’
At dawn, when Aaron was about to collapse and went back to his room, she used to hand him a health potion.
“Didn’t Yurnet tell you that my brother took a Taoni fairy! This Frey is that fairy!”
Lydegion looked to the side.
Aaron could see what was there.
[Scheduled time – 00:14:11]
Sleipnir’s scheduled self-destruct time.
It was put up by Frey.
“Are you unable to tell the difference between front and back? If you leave this guy alive, the self-destruction will not be lifted. Are you going to explode the airship?”
“We have to find another way.”
“Why should I?”
Lydegion continued.
“You’re not going to tell me to abandon Sleipnir?”
“…”
“Let’s run through the city where thousands of pollutants are in the way?”
“If you need.”
Ridigion’s eyebrows twitched.
Aaron seemed to understand the meaning of that expression.
‘ha.’
Goosebumps ran across Aaron’s skin.
A rich and vivid life that feels as if the body is about to be crushed.
‘But…’
It’s not like this.
“I’m disappointed in Muden. Bringing such an idiot as heir. I’ll give you 10 seconds. Get out of the way. Or I’ll cut you.”
“You don’t have to give it a chance.”
said Aaron.
“Because I won’t get out of the way.”
Cagan!
Aaron swung his spear upwards.
Sparks flew in the air.
Lidigion had attacked.
‘I can not see.’
The technology gap is stark.
I didn’t even know where to swing or how to move.
“Isn’t your goal to save your brother? If that’s the case, you must never kill this sprite!”
“Why?”
“This fairy is my brother’s precious companion.”
Lidigion glared at the trembling Frey.
“Did Master abandon his comrades like this?”
“There will be circumstances!”
“Regardless of the circumstances, we will remove any obstacles to our goal. Don’t you know the basics of your mission?”
“You really don’t know.”
Aaron said in a low voice.
“If we kill Frey, he won’t accept us.”
“…”
“Even if you lose your airship and die on foot.”
Aaron’s words continued.
“I can’t even lose my brother’s heart.”
