We'll get to know Luna later, but now, it's time for the battle of the century. While ascending to the ground using an elevator of sorts, I slowly gather my thoughts.
''We'll stick to the standard formation once the fight starts,'' I speak up. ''Mermaid Queen, I'll leave my daughters to you.''
''Alright~!''
''Everyone, let us emerge victorious—''
''Wait.''
Right then, Luna herself intervenes.
''I will also participate in combat.'' She firmly says. ''Can I please have Anna... Miss Anastasia guarding me while I'm using my ability?''
''Aren't you exhausted?'' I ask, puzzled. ''In the first place, we don't know how you fight, so...''
At this, Luna giggles and extends her right hand toward me.
''My energy isn't a problem. Right, Sylvia?''
''Oh.''
Now that I think about it, wasn't there the seed her loli version gave me? Sirallets or whatever. Rightfully, I take out the item and put it on her palm.
''Thank you.''
In an instant, a blue light shines from within the crystal, and its essence is promptly sucked by the purple-haired woman. Indeed, I can feel Luna's body getting revitalized and full of energy.
I'll have to ask the method to create this kind of battery from her later.
Nevertheless, there is still the problem of combat synergy...
''As for my ability, please witness.'' Luna smiles as if predicting my thoughts. ''When the elevator reaches ground level, please avoid the right corner at all costs.''
When the Divine Maiden says that, we have no choice but to comply. Looking intently at the place, I begin to imagine what kind of alien would pop up later. The suspense is real.
DING—!!
'''' !!! ''''
As soon as the bell rings and the door opens, a sharp arrow clad in dense mana rips through the air, lodging itself right where Luna warns us. It's not like that thing is lethal, but... This is impressive.
''What do you think?''
As my party readies themselves to fly out, Luna puts up a 'V' sign and asks me. As the leader, I am faced with the choice of entering combat with and without this new variable.
''Limit?'' I immediately ask. ''Range? Method of communicating?''
''No stamina constrain. Five hundred meters. Telepathy.'' Luna swiftly replies.
''Good. Anna, please protect her.'' I pat my cat girl's shoulder. ''The rest, follow me. We'll enter combat right away.''
'''' Understood. ''''
With that, I take the lead and fly out of the elevator, the rest trailing behind me. The moment my surroundings are identified, I notice an unusually large number of hostile gazes directed at us, all from the 'citizens' of Atlas.
''They're all fakes!''
As if to reassure us, Anna shouts from behind.
With our motive becoming clear, Liana, Tina, Emy, Sariel, and I jump right to battle in the middle of the streets. The first three wield their respective weapon and begin to mow the doppelgangers down at once.
————————!!
In the sky, a majestic dragon clad in half-golden, half-red scales soars, unleashing destructive spells down the city. Even then, there are still some enemies who hold interest in me.
''Hah...''
Licking my lips, I pull out my beloved Vector and take cover behind a building.
It's time to have some FPS actions, motherfuckers!
Utilizing my frail sturdy body, I make sluggish nimble movements and change between covers, constantly peeking for any and all opponents. Eventually, I see a huge octopus in the distance, which is trailing along the street with a trident.
Stabilizing my breaths, I point the gun at it, aligning the red dot on my optic to its head.
Die, fucking idiot.
As soon as I pull the trigger, a few muffled sounds escape the silenced Vector as a miniature amount of recoil is felt on my shoulder. Bullet cases are ejected, and a faint scent of gunpowder lingers in the air.
On the other hand, the 'octopus' is long dead, revealing its true form as a blank mannequin.
Target down. Switch to the next target.
Like a child who has just entered her favorite play, I begin to cruise around the suburban, taking down the fakes along the way. By the time I have gone through four mags, a voice suddenly resonates inside my brain.
[There is one high-ranking enemy inside the house at your six. First floor. Please be careful.]
It's Luna-tan's voice. How sweet.
''Thanks, babe.''
I mutter playfully, changing my usual sand-colored mag to a dark blue one, which contains super AP shells. Pulling the trigger all the way down, I begin to spray the bullets all over the first floor, essentially making a beehive out of it.
BOOM—!
''ARGHH!!!''
Eventually, a figure similar to that of a giant jellyfish bursts through the tattered wall, desperately crawling toward me with wounds all over its body.
Being a sea-anti person, I involuntarily shiver at the sight of the less-than-peaceful sight. What's more, based on its mana frequency, isn't it trying to self-destruct?
''Sorry, bud.''
BANG—!
Before that can happen, I shove a whole fifty-cal bullet into its head, blowing a good portion of its meat onto the ground. Granted, it's AE, not BMG, but the sensation of decimating flesh is addicting nonetheless.
[Sylvia, there is a squad of fifteen on your eleven. They all have strong projectiles, so please be careful.]
Thanks again, babe.
Using telekinesis, I lift myself onto a building's rooftop, where I can indeed see a formation of tuna closely moving together, wielding bows with their fins.
It's honestly a goofy sight that I would normally enjoy, but knowing their real identities, I feel nauseous.
''Ah...''
Perhaps because I'm nauseous, I have accidentally thrown the grenade that I accidentally took out at them.
BOOM—!
The next second, they have become minced fish... Before turning into plastic-ish debris. Right.
''Mhm... Well.''
A surge of laziness suddenly washes over me, and I take out the assault rifle, M14, instead. After equipping a decent scope, I begin to quietly snipe my enemies with ease, enjoying the FPS experience.
Although I have a silencer on the gun, I guess it doesn't really matter when Sariel is roaring in the sky.
It's a good thing Mermaid Queen evacuated this area beforehand. I don't know how she did it while being spied on, either.
Though... Where is IV—
Right when I think that, a blinding light brighter than the sun envelops the city, and the moment it subsides, a pure white figure can be seen floating under the artificial moon.
With a white robe, white veil, and white hair, the person seems like a scared saintess from distant ages.
Of course, as soon as 'she' locks eyes with me, an intense rage wells up within my heart.
Just how many people have it taken over? Just how many lives have it ruined with that damned ability?
Hundreds of mana formations are engraved in the sky, creating a sea of powerful bombs—bombs that are directed at me.
BOOM—!
But bullets are faster.
Within seconds, a fifty BMG has already pierced through the air, blowing IV's head into shreds right at the moment.
Let the duel begin, retarded fucker.
