chapter.15 End, Sacrifice, Hero

"Send a few people to protect the carriage where the eldest lady is, and the rest of the people stay here to stall for time, and call out all the guys who were originally in the car who can use steam cylinders! Give them weapons! Let them fight together! Don't stay where you are, hurry up and move, didn't you hear my orders?! ”

Laiqi jumped from the Iron City, knowing that once the Iron City was breached, it would mean that everyone on the scene would become food for Kabane.

If he wants to protect Calamus, he has to protect this iron city that can be used as a fortress.

The samurai acted according to Laisu's orders, and he himself walked to Hiiragi's side, and Laisu, who was taller than Hiiragi, looked down on Hiiragi.

There was also a battle above the roof of the car, and there were screams and shouts everywhere, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Ignoring this situation, Laiqi pulled out the weapon at his waist and spoke while being vigilant

"You have shown extraordinary strength just now, and Miss Calamus has let you stay with a magnanimous attitude, and even provided you with the little food and clean clothes you already have, you know what to do now, right?"

It means that I will desperately protect the Iron City from being destroyed by Kabane, right? - Hiiragi couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

To be reasonable, Hiiragi won't act for a beautiful girl who has little to do with it, it's more because of the civilians inside the Iron City, as well as the reckless and loach.

"I'll just do what I think, and I'm very grateful to Miss Calamus, but that doesn't justify me from fighting hard."

"You guy, don't you even have a samurai soul?!"

"Compared to me, the samurai of your mouth. Didn't you kill a human Kabane? If that's also the so-called samurai soul. Now I don't have anything to say. ”

Hiiragi's purpose is not to quarrel with Laisu. But this guy who is too focused on his own purpose will sooner or later become an existence that is hated by everyone.

Laiqi is not a villain, but his actions make him look like a bad guy.

Maybe in such a post-apocalyptic world, Laiqi is the kind of character who is easy to live.

The plot has changed, and it is no longer possible to look at the problems in front of you from the same perspective as before, so Hiiragi will say something that may change the thoughts and beliefs of the characters.

"We're just here to protect the people of the Golden Post, and we have no choice but to do so, and you know how difficult and hateful Kabane really is."

"And yet with weapons. You guys with steam canisters are aiming their guns at the same humans, and that's to protect them? ”

Hiiragi also stood on the platform outside the Iron City, and didn't say anything more to Laiqi.

"I'm just doing my best anyway."

Raksu did not answer Hiiragi's words, but held a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and faced Kabanei, who was trying to break into the carriage of the Iron Castle.

The warriors and some civilians fought outside, while the incapable closed the gates and hid inside to prevent being attacked by the Kabane and thus becoming their companions.

Climbing the ladder to the top of the Iron Castle, Hiiragi also rushed towards the nearest Kabane.

Same as before. Hiiragi also uses the ability, the left hand attached to the ability to cut time, to penetrate Kabane's heart from behind.

"Thanks. Thank you!! ”

A steam craftsman holding a mop in both hands bowed his head and thanked Hiiragi, then ran towards the carriage in front of him.

Ikoma is in charge of the Kabane on the left, so Hiiragi just has to run to the right to find a way to stop the Kabane who are constantly destroying the carriage.

In reality, there weren't many of the Kabanes, forty at most, but they disrupted their attackers with a chaotic, clueless attack, nibbling them on as food.

Several steam craftsmen and samurai were attacked by two or three cabanes at the same time, and they were taken away or destroyed their weapons, and were bitten out by the cabane.

At this time, no one asked them to kill themselves with suicide bags, and they were all trying their best to cope with their own battles.

Thanks to this, it didn't take long for the attacked and gnawed guys to become new Kabanes, adding to the chaos.

The sound of steel twisting can be heard, which is the result of Kabane's destruction of the Iron City.

First of all, Hiiragi also decided to get rid of the five or six cabanes on the roof of the car first.

"Hey!!!"

Hiiragi was also hit in the shoulder with a wooden stick from behind by a young girl, and the pain caused by the blunt force brought Hiiragi back to his senses.

Normally, Kabane would make a loud noise when attacking, but this time he didn't hear any strange noises.

As he turned around, he stretched out his right hand and stabbed the other man's heart, but stopped in the process.

Because he heard a human voice just now, Hiiragi also carefully checked and found that it was a nervous loach.

The girl looked a little flustered, and when she saw Hiiragi with a wooden stick, she immediately bowed her head and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was someone who just turned into a Kabane! Lord Nangong, what should I do now? Some people have also become Kabane, will we die here? ”

"You'd better go back to the carriage first."

Hiiragi also took a big step towards the loach, grabbed her arm with her right hand and pulled her to her side, swung sideways with her left hand to cut through the blade held by Kabane, and then kicked it under the car.

The current Hiiragi is also using as much energy as possible, after all, it is not the heyday of itself.

"I'm sorry, I've caused trouble to Lord Nangong again."

"What are those people doing now? Didn't anyone fix the tank or something? ”

"Some of the more important steam machines are in the second carriage, and I think someone will pass by."

"You go down first."

Hiiragi also took the weapon from Loach's hand and told her to stay in the carriage obediently.

"Please come on!"

Loach climbed the ladder off the roof of the car, and some of the steam craftsmen entered the car with her.

The current roof of the car is only Hiiragiya and two samurai and four Kabanes, one of whom is a new guy who has climbed up.

To put it simply, if you want to make the Iron City move again. The damaged area needs to be repaired. Then it must be protected that place has been damaged twice.

Run ahead. Hiiragi, who was holding a stick, also applied his ability to it, jumped over the gap at the junction of the carriages, and smashed a stick into Kabane's body.

The wooden stick directly cut Kabane at the waist, and Kabane, who fell to the ground, tried to use his hands to move his upper body, but was immediately destroyed by his heart.

The two rescued samurai looked confused, after all, they were the first time they had seen a guy who used a wooden stick to solve Kabane.

"What are you doing here? The most important thing is to protect the second quarter carriage and prevent the Kabanes from launching another attack there. ”

"Thank you so much! We're going to be too! ”

"How can you easily not kill here!!"

Under Hiiragiya's instructions, the two samurai rushed with Hiiragi to the second carriage not far away.

This time. Several steam craftsmen joined the team, saying that they were going to repair a certain part of the steam engine.

Since Hiiragiya and a large number of other humans were moving on the roof of the car, it attracted the attention of many Kabanai who were on the ground.

The person who bears the brunt of this team is, of course, Hiiragi.

Holding a wooden stick, he rushed forward, using as little power as possible, and after approaching Kabane, who was jumping up on the way, Hiiragi also threw the stick, directly piercing the heart of the jumping Kabane.

One of the remaining three was bombarded by the samurai and went under the car, and Hiiragi also took advantage of their cover to start his own attack.

The two Kabanes didn't steady their bodies due to the impact, and Hiiragi sprinted over. Two hands grabbed their heads and pressed them to the ground, and then both hands sliced from two parts to the heart.

Hiiragi, who has no weapons, has an extremely unusual way of fighting. The bloody scene made everyone behind him begin to doubt Hiiragi's identity.

Stood up, shook off the blood on his hands, and looked at a few people behind him at forty-five degrees in the new house.

"Why don't you go quickly?!

"Yes, yes!!!" ”

They rushed past Hiiragi and soon reached the second carriage.

The reason why they choose to walk from the roof of the car is also because there are many cabanes on the ground.

Faced with the constant sound of steam cylinder shooting, Hiiragi jumped to the ground when he reached the vicinity of the second carriage, ready to deal with the Kabane who tried to tear through the steel gate and get into the carriage.

Although these monsters with abnormal abilities are very obvious in the dark night, it is somewhat difficult to solve them in an instant.

"Hurry up! Kabane is coming in! ”

The muzzle of a steam canister could be seen coming out of the firing port of the Iron City, but the civilians, who were not good at fighting, were quickly snatched of their weapons by the Kabane attached to the wall, and instantly fell into a panic.

"What should I do!!! Damn it! ”

"Don't ask me! After all, you're going to put the steam cylinder outside! ”

"That's why you have to shoot, don't you!?"

"Yes, it's over!!"

Kabane tossed the steam cartridge aside, and his right hand went deep into the gap in the door, and as he tugged hard, he could hear the creak of the steel twisting.

Hiiragi didn't hesitate, but hurriedly ran over there.

First with a kick at Kabane, which was flying against the wall, and then in pursuit.

On the way, another Kabane gave up destroying the gate of the Iron Castle and rushed towards Hiiragi instead.

In the face of an attack from a frontal enemy with no tactics to speak of, Hiiragi also accelerated and slipped a shovel, dodging Kabane's outstretched hands.

Using his ability to brake, Hiiragi also hit Kabane directly with his right hand, who was kicked away by himself just now and was about to stand up.

Immediately afterwards, before Kabane, who was dodged by Hiiragi, turned around, he used his ability to accelerate and destroy Kabane's heart from behind.

The whole action was done in one go, killing the two Kabanes in an instant.

The original [76/100] became [81/100].

"It's possible to complete your mission here."

Hiiragi thought the same and picked up the steam cartridge that Kabane had thrown aside.

The steam canister was handed over to the two men guarding there from the firing port, and Hiiragi glared at them.

"Don't whine like a coward, just try to shoot Kabane in the car as you can."

"I, I see."

The man hurriedly answered Hiiragi's words without the slightest slack.

Maybe it's because I'm a little scary right now......

Hiiragi also wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, and his eyes fell on the vicinity of the second carriage.

There were five cabas attacking, and the steam canisters were constantly coming out of them. It didn't take long for Kabane, who had been knocked away, to run again.

"Fix the steam engine first!!!"

"No! Because of the proximity to the car wall. The twisted walls make the parts inside jam! ”

"So what to do!?"

"Take it apart first! Let them buy some time!! ”

"Really. These damn bunks!! ”

Even near the third carriage, Hiiragi could hear the almost yelling of the men.

Just about to leave, Nameless, who had entered a state of rest not long ago, suddenly appeared in Hiiragi's field of vision.

Moving on the roof of the car, she leaped to her feet and landed in the middle of the Kabane, joining the fight.

Facing the Kabane gathered near the second carriage, he rotated and fired with two guns continuously, and when some of the Kabane were knocked away, Nameless took the opportunity to deal with the fish that had not been knocked out of the net.

Every shot and blade thrust is accurate. As the struck Kabane all rushed towards her, Nameless stepped on the wall of the Iron City and bounced.

Jump over Kabane's head and pull his own trigger from behind.

The flowing movements instantly relieved the pressure on that area.

But just when Hiiragi also thought that there was no problem over there, Nameless yawned and actually looked sleepy.

What are you doing? Haven't come to your senses yet?

Hiiragi also picked up the stone on the ground, aimed at Kabane behind Nameless, and shouted

"Spread out to the left! Stinky girl! ”

"It's rude."

Nameless, who suddenly came to the spirit, couldn't help but retort, but still dodged to the side according to Hiiragi's instructions.

The stone, which was accelerated by Hiiragi's ability, hit Kabane's heart at a terrifying speed, but instead of shattering, it knocked Kabane into the air.

Nameless, leaning against the wall of the car, rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"No, I can't. I'm still a little tired. ”

"Then don't come out."

When Hiiragi also arrived there, he easily killed the two Kabanes.

It's a little short of the number of targets.

But. Hiiragi intends to complete the mission here, too.

Although the plot has changed, as long as you leave as an external factor, you must be slowly returning to the right path.

After all, Hiiragi's actions-

cut Fusang City at the entrance of the Xianjin Station;

saved Gingoro in the midst of danger;

Fight with Nameless and Ikoma;

These are all factors that contribute to the change in the plot.

Occasionally, there will be polarizations like the Gate of the Stone of Destiny.

That is, small actions can change the world line, or even large actions cannot shake the world line.

Now Hiiragi's situation is the former.

Knocking on the door of the carriage, Hiiragi also asked the guy inside to take Nameless in, after all, she was more dangerous if she stayed outside.

This is probably Cabaneri's physique.

So is the same for Ikoma?

When I thought of this, Hiiragi, who sent Nameless to the second carriage, was also caught by the girl.

"Don't die, big brother."

"Who are you talking to?"

Because of himself, he can never die......

"Bring all the Kabanes here!!!"

Hiiragi shouted at the samurai everywhere, receiving such an order in the confusion, and they were already afraid of Kabane, and they wanted to hand over the enemy to the other guys.

So the samurai who were ordered to hold on to a certain place also began to move towards Hiiragi.

Kabane seemed to be particularly interested in the creatures that moved, and most of them gave up attacking the Iron Castle for the time being, and instead pounced on the samurai.

On the other side, Hiiragi was also walking past the junction between the carriages when he saw Ikoma fighting in the woods.

His plan was much simpler than Hiiragi's, which was to act as a decoy to lure those Kabanes and prevent them from approaching the Iron City.

In this way, he himself became like an outcast, isolated.

Grabbing the samurai who ran to his side, Hiiragi also pointed to the other side of the castle.

"After you have brought Kabane over, go and help the people on the other side."

"Yes, that guy called Ikoma?"

"Nonsense."

"This is Laiqi's order."

"That's ...... I'll get over it. ”

Hiiragiya's lies were believed by the samurai in the chaos, and slowly spread with the effect of one to ten, ten to hundred.

More than a dozen Kabanes all gathered. Hiiragi also confirmed that their targets were all here. Take a deep breath.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, dirt, and rancid stench. Jean Hiiragi immediately spit it out.

A lot of mental power has been consumed, and it is a miracle to be able to hold on until now.

It's a bit like the subtle feeling of killing someone in the game because of the [Dangerous Game] regeneration......

Exhale again to calm yourself down.

The frequent gunshots around him and the children's cries were all actively blocked.

The enemy is in front of you, and they're the only thing you need to get right now.

Originally, he was a human, but now he has become a monster, so killing him is also a kind of redemption for the other party.

It is very difficult to concentrate one's abilities and rely on this tired body and mind to do it easily.

The brain becomes groggy. My stomach began to cramp, and my vision became a little dim.

In the blink of an eye, a refreshing wind blew from the front.

The sweat on the skin is evaporated, bringing coolness.

The quiet world seemed to have the sound of dripping water, and Hiiragi also concentrated his consciousness, and as he did last time, he released his abilities as if he were outside.

To be bigger, wider, and more accurate to hit Kabane's heart.

Silent and invisible, the invisible power is centered on Hiiragi. The shape of a half-moon spreads out.

Whether it was that shape or not is unknown, but at least Hiiragi had it in his mind.

Of course, it could also be the shape of a straight knife......

Trivia was ignored by Hiiragi for the rest of the day. One by one, the Kabanes were sliced open, and blood splattered out of their severed wounds like a fountain.

Some of the Kabanes were shorter, and Hiiragi's strength cut off their heads, but most of them were cut straight through their hearts and incapacitated.

As Kabane fell one by one, the people in the car cheered.

"Kabane has been defeated!"

"What just happened!"

"At least it's safe here! Haven't those people repaired the Iron City yet!? ”

"Shut up, the guy who sits back and enjoys!"

"Aren't you too?!"

"I was in the first battle!!"

Ignoring the boisterous bunch, Hiiragi took a few steps back, leaning against the wall of Kabane's car, and then slid down the wall and fell to the ground.

Sitting on the somewhat uneven ground, Hiiragi also rubbed his temples with his hands.

"Ha-hoo, ha-hu, ha-hu, ha-hu......!"

Taking a big gulp of air, Hiiragi also put himself into a short rest.

A few numbers [99/100] come to mind.

Well, we are only one step away from success.

Recall that Hiiragi also found that after arriving in this world, he spent more energy and more physical strength to complete the task.

Although it hasn't been a few days, Hiiragi also feels unexpectedly tired.

This unfortunate world is not for people like yourself.

Because Hiiragi also knows very well that he doesn't have the perseverance of Ikoma and the 'optimism' of Nameless, he will only keep fighting, always fighting, and occasionally confused.

I want to be the hero.,But I can't be.。

"That's embarrassing."

With a heavy sigh, Hiiragi slowly got up.

Woowoo!!!!!!!!!!

At this time, the horn sounded in the iron city, and the people in the car began to warn those who had survived the battle.

"There's no time! Get in the car!!!! ”

Indeed, if you stay here, you can't rule out the arrival of the next batch of Kabane.

The wheels that were leaning on began to spin, and Hiiragi also saw the door open on one side and a man stretched out his hand.

"Thanks to you! Come on now! ”

"No...... Wait...... Wait a minute. ”

Hiiragi also asked him to return to the car, facing the gradually accelerating Iron Castle, and walked towards the back of the car.

The speed was slow, but due to the relative movement between the two, Hiiragi quickly reached the rear of the car.

Kotetsujo drove past him, and Hiiragi saw Ikoma running from the woods in the distance.

He had a lot of blood on his body, and I don't know if it was his or someone else's.

The samurai who had been called by Hiiragi to help him also left one by one, as there were still a few Kabanes chasing them behind.

Limping and running, Ikoma looked at the faster and faster armor castle, gritted his teeth, and tried to speed up.

He can be said to be the one who blocked Kabane over there, and there is no doubt that he is the hero of those people and civilians on the Iron City.

But who will lend a helping hand to him?

Is it a lack of strength, or is it a fear of those monsters?

Hiiragi didn't think much about it, and walked towards Ikoma, who was chasing after Kotetsu Castle.

"Are you ready?"

"You didn't take the Iron City either."

"Because there's no need for that."

"What do you mean? But...... I'm pretty much the same. ”

"You're different."

Hiiragi also grabbed the koma.

"You're a hero."

With that last little bit of strength, I can't use the ability more than three times now......

The right hand directly raised the koma, accelerating the blood flow and filling the body with strength for a moment.

And then...... Throw it out.

"Whoa, whoa, a!!!!a

Ikoma let out a mournful roar, and the whole person crashed into the aisle of the carriage at the end of the Iron Castle at a very fast speed, making a dull sound.

He shook his body to his feet and stood on it staring at Hiiragi who remained in place.

Ikoma said something, but Hiiragi couldn't hear it.

Is it a word of thanks? Is it a word of doubt? Is it angry words?

None of these hiiragi guessed.

This is their own world, and they have only come here because of the evil taste of the Lord God.

But I also experienced how hard it is to survive.

At the same time, the power he has seems to have been strengthened.

"The last one is missing."

Turning around, Hiiragi, who almost fell from his drowsy head, also straightened up.

"Come on!" (To be continued.) )
