Hunter of the Perished World

'Wargrave is settled now...'

The monster camp was exhausted fighting the Wargraves, and Leona now shuffles the monster camp with missiles and junk wagon troops.

"Ahh! Medicine!"

If you try to attack the monsters, you accumulate a small amount of damage from the maneuverable fast junk wagon troops back and forth. We've already upgraded the self-destruct sequence there, so every time a Junk Wagon unit disappears, it explodes and damages the area.

With nearly all of the wreckage technology in place, Leona's units are quite powerful.

Now that you've wiped out Wargrave's Enforcer Squad, it's time for the Devil, the final unit of the Monster Faction. The Devil is a fairly powerful single-agent unit, but the boy has been working alone without even a proper escort unit, either overestimating the Devil's power.

But this time it's bad.

As Leona's main army clashes with the monsters, only one of the demons falls apart and destroys Leona's military base.

We can't afford to lose any troops. Leona eventually rounded up the hunters on patrol and rushed them into demon-hunting. Hunters are essentially powerful units against monsters, but not for demons.

Twenty enforcer units were the most powerful unit on a single entity to be able to take on. But this is the third time he's been dead and resurrected because he's been running the demon by himself.

Of course, Leona has dispatched a hunting party there. A group of hunters, divided into three squads, begins shooting demons. However, as a hunter, an early unit, it is not enough to defeat the Devil, the ultimate unit. The demon charges at the hunter's army with speed.

But Leona attacks the demon with another parted hunter army and drags Aggro away. Fortunately, he had no control over the Devil because he cared about the battle of the main battalion.

Leona, who watches the two battlefields and controls them, literally lost her hand and her eyeballs snapped. Sarah stares at him in horror as if he were some kind of monster.

Despite the heavy battles in the battlefield, Leona eventually managed to hunt with her base unit, the Hunter Battalion, by accumulating some damage, dragging the Devil around.

"Oh, no! My demon is dead!"

The boy next to him screams when he realizes his final unit is dead, but Leona only smiles at the amount of power. After destroying the Wargrave and Monster Sheep factions, Leona just needs to eat slowly.

"This is what happens when you are careless.... Huh?"

But even before Leona could enjoy the feeling of victory, she saw the message on the bottom right of the screen and doubted her eyes.

[Only the hunter squad succeeded in hunting the devil.]

[The conditions for producing the final unit, the "Demon Hunter", have been lifted.]

"Er... What is it?"

Leona stares straight at the message in front of her eyes.

If you think about it, it's strange that only the Wilderness Faction thinks the final unit is a nuclear missile. Although the sanction conditions are similar to those of other end units, they are embedded in other factions. But there are no such messages on nuclear missiles.

Even the Wasteland Faction has its final unit. However, the terms of the fine are quite difficult.

You need to bring up all your Techtree skills to the end, and you need to hunt the Devil with just your hunter base. They didn't know it was a game without a guidebook. In fact, the Wilderness War was a fairly unfriendly game that was produced and not accompanied by guides.

It's almost impossible to hunt demons with just a hunter there. Just now, a demonic player was distracted and left the demon alone. If he had cared at all, it would have been impossible to hunt the demon with a hunter alone.

In fact, those who enjoy the wilderness war rarely know that the final unit is a demon-hunter, except for a handful of perverts.

After all, the last unit in the wilderness camp is a demon-hunter, and Leona accidentally banned its production conditions.

Leona clicked the Production button. Leona wanted to see the last of the Desert Faction.

Kids literally beat up a unit. So when Leona got used to the game, she almost played with the kids.

Soon, a demon-hunter was produced.

Although the graphics were not a very good game, the strategic RTS was quite well built, so the characters were well implemented per unit.

The Demon Hunter is just a medium-sized unit. You're not dressed as an executioner or a demon.

The most difficult to construct was too simple. Rather, it was similar to a normal hunter unit.

However, Leona notices a discrepancy from other hunter units on the close-up screen and makes a silly sound.

“…… what? ”

Black longcoat.

That's a scoped sniper rifle strapped to your shoulder.

But I can't say that I saw the great black black on my back wrong.

That's something Leona knows, called Phantom Bain.

Mister?

Others may do more than that, but at least not as much as Leona.

Why is the Devil Hunter that Leona knows still in the game that Wargrave created?

Leona finds herself in a place she never imagined she would find out about and freezes to death.

It was a voice that came from behind that woke Leona up.

“Looks good, huh? ”

Rather than being surprised by Leona, she was the wrong Sarah at all.

“Hey, it's the Executioner! ”

“Wow!"

“Ramfil?”

As soon as they saw Ramfil with the executioner's mark, they abandoned the entertainment and got up and gathered around him. Ramfil was puzzled by the expression on his face when the children came to him.

With no one by her side, Leona suddenly feels a lump of stone fall from her chest.

Leona's head turned white and bleached. Leona shakes her lips in terror.

“What about you? Why, why alone? ”

“The hunter went to the factory for a while because he was using our production facilities. He'll be here soon.”

“Ah, ah... Really?"

Leona lets out a sigh of relief as her heart grows restless. Ramfil smiles as he looks at Leona like that.

“A hunter would love to see that. ”

“Do you want to talk rubbish? Why, by the way?”

The children opened their eyes as they watched Ramfil and Leona talk without fail. He is an executioner, like a hero of children.

But Leona is doing more than just being spontaneous.

I knew he was a prick, but when I got so close, the kids seemed like a great guy, and so did Sarah.

“Let's go to Warlord. He has something to say to you. ”

It made Sarah's face brighter, not Leona's.

After finishing work at the production facility, Gene returned to his home and was resting. I was going to leave as soon as the armored car was ready. After the satellite is taken down, we need to move quickly because we may find it even more troubling.

But Gene sits on the couch and says nothing.

In the many thoughts that come to mind, Gene was troubled but unable to come up with an answer.

I wonder how long I've waited. Leona returns with the sound of the door opening. Leona talks with a bright face when she sees Gin.

"I see you've settled well."

"Well, well. That's right."

I responded quite differently than usual in progress.

"Isn't Ramfil with you?"

"Oh, they caught me."

The children who were curious about the executor didn't let go of the ramfil, and now they are sweating outside the residence.

It's quite amusing, but Gene doesn't smile.

And seeing that look on Gene's face, Leonardo wiped his smile off his face.

Silence flows.

“ ……. ”

Along the way, they said whatever they wanted, and they didn't say anything. But I didn't say anything because I didn't want to say anything.

Like now, I had to say something, but I couldn't say anything, so I was never silent. Leona stares at Gin and says,

“I went to the commander here. ”

“Oh, I see... ”

Gene replied like that, and for a moment he was silent. It is not my bar that likes to sit still and wait for time to pass without saying anything.

“I asked you to make me a hunter. ”

“Yes.”

“I think the reason you want to be a hunter is because you want to be able to protect yourself in the wilderness. ”

“It's not that different. ”

Gene, on the other hand, opened his mouth and naturally said without much concern.

“You said you were afraid to be alone. ”

“Yes.”

Leona did not deny it. You don't know what was said between Warlord and Leona.

“If you're here, you don't have to be a hunter to protect yourself. ”

“ ……. ”

“If you're here, you're not alone. ”

“ ……. ”

“If you stay here, you'll be able to live thinking about living, not surviving. Needless to say, it's a little more human. ”

“ ……. ”

Fortress is a blessed environment for those who are overwhelmed by survival. How happy it is to be able to think about life, not survival. It's not even worth talking about. I had no choice but to say that when I saw Leona's smiling face without shade.

Everything Leona fears is not here. There is no malice or hatred that was done without reason. Growing up in a warm environment, children without crumples are favorable to strangers.

Leona should stay here, not even worth mentioning.

Leona stares at Gin with a firm look on her face.

After all, I didn't discuss it directly, but I told you to stay here. Jean took the chipbox out of her arms.

“You didn't complete the quest, so I'll return the chips you received. ”

The remuneration you accumulated was enough to return the chip you received from Leona. Leona looks down at the chip box with 5,000 chips.

Leona's eyes are already bloodshot. Leona just remembers a conversation with the Warlord.

‘The wilderness is a place of fear. ’

‘I know... But….'

"Leona, but as dangerous to you as it is, being with you is dangerous to hunters after all. ’

‘ ……. ’

‘The wilderness is too wild and scary to live with while guarding something. You know that. "

‘ ……. ’

Leona is miserable when her thoughts are always confirmed in Warlord's mouth.

Logically, if you think rationally, the relationship is not mutually beneficial.

Jean knows it's unreasonable to take this boy out into the wild and dry wilderness.

That's why I can't tell you to come with me.

Leona knows she has to be Jean's burden.

That's why I can't say we're leaving together again.

Ironically, both of them think about each other and do not bring up the words that are in their mouths.

Gene was looking at her calmly, and she didn't cry either.

Leona knew too well that nothing could be done with tears.

So, I didn't cry.

But I just didn't cry. Leona raises her head and looks at Gin with red-eyed eyes.

“Is that all you have to say? ”

“Yes."

“Really, that's it? ”

“ ……. ”

Leona bites her lip slightly.

“Mister.”

“Tell me.”

“You know what? ”

“What.”

“That attitude that I let you decide how to live... ”

Gene was with Leona, but he didn't force her to do anything. If Leona says she'll settle down somewhere right now and stay, Gene will tell her to. If you say goodbye now, Gene will part.

He didn't try to force her life in any way. We're just hanging out. It is still not compulsory. I merely suggested it would be better to be here, leaving everything to Leona's judgment.

“Not all the time, I'm not so happy. ”

However, Leona doesn't always like it.

“I don't know what you're talking about... ”

Despite knowing what he meant, Gene criticized Leona for it. Leona smiles sadly, adding.

“An obsessed person feels bad, but a person without an obsession is sad. ”

It wasn't a child-friendly metaphor, but it was the best expression for Leona.

I knew what Gene meant, so I couldn't open my mouth.
