Chapter 6: His Choice

In the end, it's just a longing for someone, wanting to be the protagonist of the kind of fairy tale that can be seen everywhere; I want to keep following what I think is the "right path".

So the boy made a decision that was "impossible" for himself. - Get as close as possible to your ideal "righteous partner". That's all......

This is both an agreement with the father; It's also something that must be done even though it's so hateful.

However, this is not the same as the freedom he originally longed for; The ideals of the so-called "heroes" are far from each other, and they are simply 108,000 miles apart.

Because from that moment on, he lost all his freedom and the feelings that matched it.

And in the final analysis, the burden of the country; Is it so heavy to bear the cost of the people?

Is it right or wrong to make such a decision? Lemuel continues to pursue the so-called answer to this day. But where is the so-called "correct solution"?

However, the sudden sound of the alarm in the cab instantly forcibly pulled back his drifting thoughts!

"What, enemy attack? At this time? Staring at the main screen in front of him, which was constantly flashing red and blue, he couldn't help but leak an incredible voice.

"500 meters ahead, a large number of enemies are approaching!"

The emotionless machine sounded such warnings one after another. And the looming red curtain in front of him, like blood, became more and more restless!

"Shhhh Damn Riveria, didn't that guy say everything would go well today?! ”

Lemuel's face instantly stiffened as if he had been frozen, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twist into a ball......

"I hate divination!"

As soon as the words fell, Riveria in the command center sneezed for a moment-

"Ahaha...... Sorry, Lemuel! ”

The general here just blurted out an apology as if he couldn't help it, and the enemy he was going to face was already within reachβ€”

This time, if you had to describe what they looked like, it would be "a rocky mountain that is too ugly to look at." ”

That's right, if you judge only by appearance, that's all Lemuel can think of. However, what made him even more unbearable was the number of enemies-

"It's just a scout, but it's ...... It's a grand welcome ceremony! ”

As soon as the words fell, he stared at the main screen, and suddenly lowered the joystick in one breath, and in the blink of an eye, he lowered the height as if he was in free fall!

Immediately afterwards, he used a jumping flight method that was almost close to the ground, instantly widening the distance between the enemy and the enemy. However, at this moment, a strange high-frequency vibration suddenly came......

"What's going on? ......What is this strange sense of latency?! ”

After a while, with this feeling, it became noticeably more difficult to maneuver the body.

But now he didn't have time to investigate the reason at all, and in the face of the oncoming enemy, in an instant, he saw Lemuel desperately imagining raising his arm, and then taking out his weapon! He is desperate to mobilize all the neural circuits he can!

Then, the unthinkable happened! β€”β€”

Leviathan's movements were so seamlessly connected with Lemuel's imagination that in the blink of an eye, it pulled out its weapon from behind as if by magic!

To put it simply, it was a machine gun that looked like a behemoth by human standards.

It was this that Lemuel intended to use this to annihilate them all, like a stormy wave! This is the benefit of so-called "synchronization".

After a while, looking from afar, the originally calm plain was ravaged by successive roars and artillery fire, and the scene of blood and flesh splashing everywhere was intertwined!

In an instant, even the Leviathan was covered in blood...... It was as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood......

It was a strafing shot that didn't distinguish between friend and foe; It was also a fight with all your might; That's merciless destruction!

- Because, if you don't do that, you'll be the one who dies!

"Damn! The succession is endless! ”

On the one hand, it bears wave after wave, one after another perseverance like impact and impact; Lemuel stepped back again and again......

The number of fallen enemies was dizzying, and yet even so, they seemed to be fearless; Fearless of death, they rushed forward one after another, tearing at the Leviathan's "body" like crazy with their huge claws and jagged jaws!

Of course, this unbearable pain was also conveyed to Lemuel himself at the same time! It was a pain that cannot be described in words!

If you do, it's as if someone has broken your otherwise intact body in half!

How unbearable it really is, I'm afraid you'll never know if you don't experience it for yourself.

And as the rhythm of their slapping and biting accelerated, this unimaginable pain brought Lemuel's body more pain than "wanting to make people die"!

However, despite this, he continued to pull the trigger as if nothing had happened......

Again and again, as if in that never-ending cycle, it was as if I had already become a machine without any sense or sense.

- But that's not how strong his will is -

And it's just because: if you don't go into battle and kill the enemy with such an awareness, you will die in an instant!

Therefore, even if he is sweating profusely now, his body is trembling uncontrollably, and he can't even master the most basic balance-

However, even then, the body instinctively remembers what to do......

Even if at this moment, he was already unconscious, and was thrown to the ground by brute force by a horde of "beasts"! In an instant, he fell into a state of immobility......

At this moment, he also realized-

What kind of battles Leela had faced; What kind of enemy is she, and what kind of pain and hurt is she enduring!

Obviously, we are facing such a battlefield; Such a cruel, ghostly enemy, but she survived again and again? "How the hell did that guy do that?"

He immediately had this question.

Even, every time, he put on a comfortable face and said happily: "I'm back!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, that's a piece of cake, okay?"

"You, although I may often lose money, but in this matter, you at least trust me a little more!"

"After all, I can't just let myself die!"

And in the face of their own careful concern. She's always clever with things like that.

"Really?"

And in the face of that look, which is very likely to be a forced smile, a nosy man will always do so much.

"Really! You see, don't I come back every time? ”

- And yet, "Can you guarantee that it will always be so?" Lemuel never asked this sentence.

"Hey, boy, you're far worse than Retilia! Is it just that it can't hold up at this level? ”

In an instant, Leviathan's consciousness and words drifted silently into his mind......

"You can't even control the normal mode smoothly, where did you get the waste wood?"

In the face of his ridicule, Lemuel remained silent throughout: "What is this compared to himself and those who have died?" There's no way I'm going to beat that guy now, am I? ”

Thinking like this, he suddenly burst out with an angry shout, and then broke free from the scout group with almost impossible strength!

"How so?!"

However, in the blink of an eye, he discovered an even more cruel truth: two of the four engines that the Leviathan was originally equipped with had been irreversibly damaged in the resistance just now......

That is, they can no longer play their rightful role and provide propulsion commensurate with the output power.

Realizing this, Lemuel immediately decided-

Surprisingly, he didn't retreat or run away, but rushed into the dizzying crowd of enemies as if he were desperate!

Then, with the dagger-like short knife in his hand, he slashed the oncoming enemies one after another!

"Can't wait to find death?!"

At this time, Riveria, who was monitoring the condition of Leviathan's body, couldn't help but squirt out all the coffee that had just slipped into her mouth!

Originally, at such a time, it was best to open up as much distance as possible to carry out long-distance roundabout guerrilla attacks.

However, he has already used up all the **, so guns and the like have long been useless.

At this moment, he can only risk engaging in hand-to-hand combat that is within reach, perhaps risking his life! After a while, there was a mountain of corpses in front of me; Rivers of blood......

"Trash fish! Is that all you have is what you can do? Let me have some fun again!? ”

Obviously his consciousness and actions have been disconnected, but he is still saying such things. At the same time, Leviathan's movements did not stop, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of heaviness and delay.

"See? Lettilia...... Even if you're gone, I can still fight alone, see?"

"You're just desperate to do anything, my cost of assembling the body and developing the performance of the body is very expensive, hey!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, he was hit his chest by the chain hook that suddenly appeared in front of the left!

In an instant, the body lost its balance, and it slid for several meters, then smashed countless rocks behind it!

At the same time, the metal shell of the Leviathan on the front chest was also quietly shattered!

"Really...... It's disgusting enough! ”

Then, in the face of the sharp claws that fell from the sky, Lemuel made a desperate bet-

Without thinking, he slashed open its entire abdomen with the blood-blurred dagger in his hand in a supine position, almost in his throat!

And its formidable claws sliced the Leviathan's entire face, of course!

Even if it was only a metal shell that was destroyed, Lemuel suffered the pain equivalent of throwing sulfuric acid on his face without hesitation!

In an instant, I saw him covering his face with both hands, and he couldn't help the pain like a mountain and a sea, and in the blink of an eye, he broke out with a scream like **!

However, Vane, who is also in the same predicament as Lemuel, does not even know that his brother is in danger now.

In fact, even if she knew about Lemuel's situation, she would not have been able to immediately go to her aid. Because I'm also in a state of exhaustion hereβ€”

"Don't hesitate, leave quickly!" Natalie kept urging her.

However, at the moment when the spaceship ignited its engine again and was ready to take off, the entire hull was firmly tied to the huge and swarm tentacles in an instant!

And he kept pulling them down with brute force, no matter how much Wayne pulled the joystick up, it didn't help, and the result was only to get tighter and tighter!

Her efforts are simply putting the cart before the horse.

"I'm going to cut them down!"

Hatfield, who was so determined, did not hesitate to open the rear hatch without hesitationβ€”

"Hey, don't be so pretentious!"

Natalie jumped out of the rear hatch in hot pursuit without thinking, and both of them launched a maximum counterattack against the tentacles in a half-suspended posture-

The weapon used by Hatfield is a **** that is not good-looking, and can even be seen everywhere; Natalie was still holding a long sword like a thin sword.

In the crisscrossing of bullets and blades, those tentacles cringed and broke one after another, but at the same time as obtaining this gratifying result, both of them also coincidentally paid the price of bruises all over their bodies!

Thankfully, their efforts were not in vain. Eventually, the nausea tentacles let go of the ship!

At the same time, in an instant, Vane's voice was heard: "The engine restart has been completed, you guys hurry up!" ”

Then, once again, she lowered the rope ladder that seemed to be made of crystals! At the same time, after Natalie and Hatfield came up, they desperately accelerated the spaceship towards the never-ending sky!

"I should be able to breathe a sigh of relief for a while here!"

However, Vane did not rest as she said, but instead aimed all the weapons of the ship at them as they were staring at them on the ant-like ground!

Then, before Natalie came to her senses, a sea of artillery fire poured down like a torrential rain, instantly swallowing and drowning Monella, who seemed impossible to eliminate! "Whew......!"

After a while, I saw Vane, who had received a satisfactory result, and the corners of his mouth, which originally seemed to be undisturbed, quietly swept a faint arc!

However, she didn't have long to be happy, and in the blink of an eye, the thunder and lightning that fell from the sky mercilessly hit the hull of the spaceship!

Although Vane quickly deployed the protective barrier almost at the same time, this lightning bolt easily shattered the barrier without hesitation!

"What are you kidding?!"

Immediately after, with such shouts and unprepared wails, the entire spaceship instantly lost its balance in mid-air and quickly fell to the ground!

It's like a dead leaf......

And at this moment, Vane, although he tried everything that could be useful in an instant......

However, no matter how hard she tried, it turned out to be that the effort was in vain.

At this moment, Lemuel is undoubtedly facing the same situation, the Leviathan is now covered in bruises, and the current situation requires a weapon that can really kill the enemy with one blow.

But in the face of the current situation where even the most basic movements can only be taken one step at a time, it is difficult to get rid of the pursuers behind them!

And seeing that the output power of each engine is getting lower and lower, Lemuel is helpless......

Such a mood undoubtedly deepened his despair by another layer-

However, on the other hand, he never thought: "Or give up, right?" "Indeed, if you still think that you can turn the tables around, you may be stupid.

Thoughts like this. That's because he was once upon a time, and he panicked and fled in the same situation because of such thoughts......

In an instant, the originally impregnable defensive line collapsed

And in order to recover this self who has been scared by the enemy,

Even Lettilia broke away from the front together......

Immediately afterward, in order to protect Lemuel, who was completely incapable of fighting, she had to face thousands of enemies alone...... You can guess the result even if you don't say it, right?

Finally, in order not to lose what remains of dignity; At the same time, in order to be instantly relieved from this incredible pain, she begged Lemuel like this, covered in blood......

"Please...... I don't want you to see such an embarrassment, so shoot...... Kill me! ”

The entire cockpit was torn open by brute force and crushed like a puddle of mud by hundreds of enemies......

"Shoot, Lemuel!! Hurry up!!! ”

Knowing that it was absolutely impossible for him to do it, but at this moment, Retilia didn't want to suffer this kind of humiliation anymore, especially in front of the person she liked the most.

"How could I do that kind of thing!? You know, there's no way I'm going to be able to do it......"

However, in the end, because he couldn't stand the heart-rending screams, he finally shot! Accompanied by the sound of the gunshot, which was so clear that it was impossible to deceive oneself, there was also the enigmatic lip languageβ€”

"I'm sorry."

However, the words that came out of his mouth have long lost the meaning of existence.

- I didn't do anything wrong, I just chose the most appropriate method for the situation.

Despite such a high-sounding reason, he still can't forgive himself at that time until now-

"What are you kidding, what are you kidding?! What's the best way to do it? A sucker! A sucker!! You're the one who deserves hell, right? Lemuel Lafria!? ”

However, after returning to China smoothly, he was rightfully regarded as a "hero" by the cheering people.

People who don't know the truth have cast appreciative glances at Lemuel, and this pressure obviously makes him kick his breath, but he has to make a move that is in line with the "hero".

He wanted to tell the truth, but he had to accept that he was already being hailed as a hero.

In fact, he was a little ghost who knew nothing at best, but now he ......

And the situation at this moment once again coincided with that day, and everything seemed to be predestined.

The only difference is that this time I took it for granted and became alone.

"Do we have to repeat the same mistakes again?"

He asked himself over and over again. And he knows very well that this time, there will be no one to protect himself.

At this moment, new moving objects and coordinates suddenly appeared on the display screen, and at the same time, from the communication device, there was a voice that should not have been expected and existed-

"It doesn't matter to you, does it? We're sorry for being late! ”

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"

Lemuel couldn't help but muttered to himself. But it was immediately refuted as if it were taken for granted-

"What are you talking about? We're the real deal! After all, we received the equivalent payment, okay, leave it to us here! Hurry up and get where you need to go! ”

"Sorry, thank you."

After figuring out the reason, Lemuel did not hesitate anymore, that is, it was no longer possible to facilitate the smooth flight of Vitan.

Not only that, but he was even covered in bruises, but he still had no intention of stopping......

No matter what happened, he didn't want to taste the pain again. Therefore, I must do my best to "atone for my sins" and protect everyone around me.

Even if it is scolded for hypocrisy; Even if it is said to be a false appearance, it is necessary to achieve the goal.

Therefore, even if it is crawling, you have to go to your sister's side-

Although more than one person had said to him before this: "It's useless, no matter how hard you try, you will eventually lose everything." ”

What Lemuel didn't know was that this hellish nightmare was only a prelude to the aftermath.

However, aren't the so-called heroes destined to bear all this?

Therefore, regretting or something, it has long been thrown out of the clouds...... That's weird! It's just a matter of trying to keep yourself from having extra time to think about it.
