Chapter 22

22angry hunting spider(5)

As the sandstorm grew more severe, the hunters headed towards the heart of the city, carefully moving between buildings..

Yakt Spinner's terrible combat ability was confirmed, but the hunters' momentum was equal..

This is because Yakt Spinner suffered great damage and retreated. The fact that the main armament and joints were crushed was undisputedly serious damage..

The hunters thought it would take a long time for him to get himself in order..

Although Leon refused to cooperate, attacks by S-class hunter Hwang Geum-cheol, semi-S-class Hwang Yeon-ha, and wizard Gil Tae-seong were effective enough..

Yacht Spinner is not invincible. Hunters were confident.

"But will it be okay? As expected, without that strange knight.."

"You're such a brat who openly wears tights, why are you so sad?."

"No, still… If you can overpower that monster, you're stronger than our guild leader.?"

Even among hunters, Leon's identity is a hot topic. And the hunters who had some free time on this floor came to the same conclusion..

"There is a high probability that he is a survivor. Survivors are often self-indulgent.."

"But it's not that bad, right??"

"Anyway, where did it come from? I haven't heard of any survivors emerging from the gate recently.."

Hunters tried to determine the existence of Leon, who appeared like a comet, based on their common sense..

But even they were not convinced by such speculation..

That man is something different. He instinctively felt that he was something of an alien in this world..

"for a moment."

At that time, the hunter in the lead stopped the hunters following with a hand gesture..

The lead hunter points his finger as if he found a dull piece of iron..

"250m ahead. On the roof. A cannon came out. It's a guy."

The hunters following the hunter's words also carefully checked the figure..

The unique crab shell-like body is exposed at an angle. Ambiguous viewing angle for sniping with a rocket.

A 10-story building with good visibility was seen across from the building where the Yakt Spinner was captured. If you snipe from up there, that guy will have no choice but to be defeated..

"Ranged dealers, carefully climb up to the building opposite. We wait here. If he notices us, he buys time by attracting attention.."

Following his instructions, the long-distance hunters headed to the building opposite. I'll slowly climb the stairs holding my breath, so it will take some time..

"I searched, spider bastard.."

Hunter smiled in remorse and waited for a signal from his colleagues who had climbed the building..

So 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes... … I'm not moving because I'm afraid the Yakt Spinner will notice, but no matter how long I wait, there's no signal..

"These bastards, what are you dreaming about? Send a kid up and check.."

…………

Even though we carefully dispatched our colleagues, there was no signal for a long time. When the Hunter noticed something strange──

-Suddenly

"huh?"

Hunter felt his vision begin to blur..

A familiar ‘spider’ shape can be seen in the spinning field of view..

"Y-ke-t-you?"

Something… different. It seems much smaller... No, wait a minute. If that's a Yakt Spinner, then what on earth is the object on the rooftop they've been watching?──

The gaze that bounced into the air caught the rooftop of the building, which had not been visible due to a subtle viewing angle, into view..

A large shell. To be precise, a crude 'model' in the form of an autocannon was attached to the spacious armor plate, which seemed to have only been partially removed..

"Mo~ㅎ?"

-Suddenly!

-Suddenly! Suddenly!

By the time the man's head hit the ground, he had already been whipped dozens of times..

* * * *

The Yakht Spinner truly lives up to its name..

The mobility achieved through groundbreaking weight reduction allowed him to climb the outer walls of buildings like a spider.,

The wire cutters wielded by numerous robotic arms cut the prey into pieces with a unique rippling sound that tore through the air..

They don't even use autocannons. By exquisitely moving the lightweight body and flexible legs, he slaughtered the hunters with only wire cutters..

"Shoot! Do something to make it stop!"

A cry that is close to someone's struggle.

At the same time, even in the strong winds of a sandstorm, the fired magic missile chases the Yacht Spinner..

-Hehehe?

The steel spider observes this and runs down the wall..

Yakt Spinner, with a wonderful movement, raised his body vertically and exquisitely inserted himself into the narrow gap between the buildings..

-Kwakwang!

Two magic missiles failed to follow the perfectly evasive movement and hit the exterior wall of the building..

The three Magic Missiles, which responded quickly, determined that they had lost their target and turned vertically..

The magic arrows soaring into the sky hit straight at the Yacht Spinner crawling through the gap in the building.

It is impossible to demonstrate quick mobility in a narrow gap. The muzzle rotates.

-Tuta tata!

Even though it has a guidance function, it is a one-dimensional magic bullet with close to linear motion. Autonomous artificial intelligence completely intercepts magic missiles.

A magic missile that explodes when hit in the air. The hunters who witnessed that scene gaped and gaped..

"Wow, crazy... Something like that is possible?"

"It's not an acrobatic shot or anything.……."

It would be unimaginable to them. How can we expect the strong artificial intelligence of a killing machine born only for combat?.

While they were in breathtaking silence, Yakt Spinner caught up with them at once..

"Damn it! obscuration! Take cover!"

The robot arms each swung the wire cutters they were holding..

Yacht Spinner's onslaught, which changed his main weapon to wire, has killed over twenty hunters so far..

When even the wizard's long-distance support did not work, the hunters ran away, suppressing their screams..

I want to live. The fear of not wanting to die dominates them..

A cemetery where the few surviving hunters arrived after running desperately. A hunter tripped over the thick weeds and rocks there..

"Wow…!

Hunter, who rolled on the ground with the same momentum as he was running, was out of breath and tried to escape by crawling..

-Squeak! crackle!

But the four-legged Yacht Spinner approached and the hunter despaired as he realized he could not escape..

"Oh, no. Save me... Lord, I don't want to die……."

He hid behind a shabby tombstone next to me like a shield and begged for mercy. He has mercy in which he himself does not believe..

-Geek….

Yacht Spinner stopped in front of Hunter, aiming his machine cannon..

The logic circuit of the killing machine, which has never let any intruder live until now, makes a decision..

「Second logic – priority. Destroy the intruder.」

「Third Logic – Priority. Destroy the intruders.」

The autocannon is aimed. No matter what weapon it is, the Yacht Spinner can crush the Hunter. but──

「Self-judgment. Logic decision hacking. Sub logic logic silence. Force priority change.」

take up arms.

tracheoblasts, steel wires of auxiliary joints.

At the moment when all the weapons were taken away and stopped, magic arrows rained down from the sky..

-Crying!

The magic arrow struck hits the Yacht Spinner. The firepower of Gil Tae-seong and the Black Mamba Hunters hits the Yakt Spinner..

"It was great! Got it right!"

"To stand still foolishly!"

Yacht Spinner's wide-angle lens is aimed at the hunters who attacked him. This is an attack that can be easily avoided if you engage in mobile warfare inside the graveyard. but…….

「Final decision. Top priority. protect citizens.」

I head towards the tombstone that the hunter I was chasing is hugging. If you fight here, you will have to suffer inevitable losses..

Yacht Spinner decided to retreat immediately..

"uh?"

Yakt Spinner leaves the graveyard, ignoring the Hunter who makes dumb noises. The hunter who was being chased had no idea who she was and she was relieved that she survived..

"Yakht Spinner Runs Away!"

"Even he has reached his limit!"

"chase!"

Use your only four remaining legs to go back and forth between buildings and escape as far away from the cemetery as possible. Yakt Spinner didn't even counterattack to avoid the risk of a ricochet..

「Yappy. Look! I made a crown out of flowers!」

Because the safety of citizens was the most important thing to prioritize,.

Even if the citizen is already dead.

* * * *

Yakt Spinner has returned to the repair shop again..

Damage received during the battle was repaired, broken wires were resupplied, and self-produced ammunition was loaded..

It wasn't easy to maintain my body in a repair shop that was built over a long period of time, not even in a regular facility, but I can still get through it..

「Keep the seal. Don't let anyone get close to you.」

The last order remaining in the machine's command system. However, the AI ​​was calmly judging that it was now impossible to carry out the command..

If we stop this intrusion, what next? And what happens next? Someday you will fail. The time I had endured to the limit was now coming to an end..

By replacing broken parts with self-made ammunition, wire, and parts made by melting down city scrap metal, we connect to surveillance cameras still remaining throughout the city..

- The estimated remaining enemy forces are approximately 49 people. Level 5 threat factors are alive and well, level 3 threat factors are alive and well, many level 1 threat factors are alive and well. possibility of defeat 35.7%.

-Continue the battle.

Nothing changes. The machine simply faithfully carries out the orders given..

When the machine is fully serviced while moving the squishy body with difficulty──

"Did you have fun playing with the junkies??

"…………!?"

The driver watched the scene from beginning to end..

* * * *

Leon worships chivalry.

No, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the embodiment of chivalry..

He abhorred cowardly ambushes and pursued fair fights..

Of course, even the opponent does not fight fairly..

The many enemies he faced tormented him with secret raids, conspiracies, and all kinds of witchcraft..

However, this is no reason for him to abandon his knightly virtues..

He belonged to the side that struck down battlefield conspiracies and dark witchcraft from the front..

The embodiment of chivalry that will not break even if it breaks..

Because of that kind of nature, he was strong.,

I was chosen because of that kind of personality..

That was the reason why I waited until the Yacht Spinner completed its maintenance..

With very few exceptions, a knight's honor is important..

Even if it is a non-human being.

Leon has met numerous heterogeneous races, many of which are completely different from humans..

Although he was an Earthling, he had lived in a world of different types and races for a much longer time..

In other words, the Yacht Spinner's cold, non-human armor plate and structurally different joints are accepted as part of the individuality of the species..

"Although it is a robot, its majesty and power are amazing. It must be difficult to deal with the things outside.."

Before he could finish speaking, the swung wire violently scratched the spot where Leon was. I lightly stepped back and avoided it, but this got on the Lionheart King's nerves..

"Is it too much to expect fame from machines?."

Yacht Spinner's eyes glow red..

Armament confirmed: 480 rounds of 60mm cannon remaining.

4 wire cutters, 2 tons as the last resort in the repair shop'.

Whips exceeding supersonic speed were lashed one after another..

A perfect attack swung by calculating the trajectory and speed of the wire cutter and controlling them so they do not become entangled..

The supersonic whip attacked Leon with no way to escape, both on the surface and in the sky, forward, left, and right..

The target is still floating. Leon suddenly takes his stance and withstands the onslaught while holding the holy sword..

Since it was an attack that calculated the opponent's evasion, the only attack that reached Leon, who had stopped, was a wire cutter. I threw it away like a holy sword..

"…………."

The mixture made by melting iron ore and hardening it had to be broken by the whipping of a wire cutter that exceeded supersonic speeds..

But the iron sword is alive and well. It is not beyond calculation. Even if you don't understand it with common sense in the machine's database.

Yacht Spinner used his four legs to disturb Leon with much more agile movements than before..

It's good if the opponent holds his position like a heavy tank. A target that doesn't move is just food for an autocannon..

-Tuta da da da da da!

A barrage of autocannons fired from the gun port. The first shot misses as if it were natural..

However, the Yacht Spinner analyzes the trajectory of the flying shell and the group of bullets and corrects them just before hitting Leon..

-thud!

When I stepped on the ground, the concrete crumbled and the doll rose up..

The moment the rising concrete blocked the view, the Yacht Spinner condensed the hydraulic springs at the joints and jumped out as if running away..

-Kwaang!

A spear that penetrates the spot where the Yacht Spinner was a moment ago. Yeah, I expected it..

The battle pattern of threat level 5 has been analyzed to the extent that it can be analyzed, and the number of cases has been assumed..

A window appears in the air,

The iron sword doesn't break at all,

Breaking tank-level armor with physical force is also possible..

Although everything was not understood through common sense and logic, it was a reality that the threat in front of us was like that..

-widely!

The closing sound captured by the noise filter. Even if you can't capture it in the wreckage, the sound doesn't lie.

Leon hits like a cannonball where Yacht Spinner was running while holding on to the wall. Before he knew it, he was boarding the summoned divine beast and retrieving the holy spear..

fast.

I don't understand. How does an organism achieve that speed?.

But I had already given up on logical understanding. The lightweight Yacht Spinner flew between the maintenance shop buildings and blocked Leon's approach..

"Stallion, he wants to play hide and seek with us.."

Yakt Spinner runs away and the cavalry chases after him, ignorantly smashing the walls and pillars of the building with his whole body..

Yakt Spinner's guerilla tactics that took advantage of the terrain, and the cavalry that followed him in a straight line were contradictory, as if the roles had been reversed, but Yakt Spinner did not just run away..

The wire cutter, which made an unexpected sneak attack on the chasing Leon, was threatening and fatal. But that's just buying time.

Although Leon appears to be chasing after him ignorantly, he calmly and skillfully blocks Yacht Spinner's attacks..

A contradictory situation where humans are chasing an armored tank. Yacht Spinner completely avoided Leon's approach and gained even more speed..

-Creak!

However, the joints are gradually worn out..

Structural limitations originally designed to deal with armored vehicles and slow infantry units are being tested by superhumans..

-OffGeek!

Parts that scream.

Excessive abuse, which did not follow the thoroughly calculated operation method of the machine, caused its collapse from within..

How will machines deal with the absurd situation of machines getting tired before humans??

The chase lasted several minutes, and the twist happened with calculated wit..

In front of a large pillar of a building, he hung his thin legs on the pillar and forcefully changed his trajectory..

"……Stallion!"

Yakt Spinner, who turned around in an instant, hit the cavalry straight away..

Even though it is lightweight, it still weighs over 40 tons. It is not a shock that an organism can withstand..

"It's quite good."

However, even though Stallion was pushed away by the impact, it glided smoothly and endured..

Despite the shock that made it difficult for their flesh and form to maintain their shape, the human and horse lightly nodded their heads and galloped off again..

Nothing changes. Yakt Spinner took advantage of the widened distance and generously fired the remaining cannon shells..

"──!"

Stallion avoids fire with amazing movements..

Stallion's sprint does not stop even if each shot is bombarded with precious machine cannon shells..

-Kugu Palace!

60The merciless bombardment of mm machine cannons reduced the durability of old buildings in real time..

Huge structures, including the exterior walls, ceilings, and pillars, were crushed like a sponge and large boulders poured out..

The Stallion jumps lightly towards the deadly rocks one by one, and eventually begins to climb up to the falling rock..

This fantastic beast called Shinma climbed up the stone waterfall and reached the ceiling in an instant..

────!!

The camera lens of the Yacht Spinner intersects with the rider who is about to fall again due to gravity..

Facing each other vertically, they aimed their cannons and lances at the enemy above their heads and at the enemy below their feet..

-68 rounds of residual ammunition. full-barreled shooting.

"In Lionheart... ! Glory be to you──!!"

Machine cannonballs pouring down against gravity and cavalry crashing straight down through the ceiling..

The ceiling, which had barely maintained its shape despite the merciless misfiring of machine gun shells, completely collapsed due to the impact of the white giant..

A charge like a white comet. The falling star is hit by an autocannon shell. however──

"……?!"

The Shinma imbued with light has no wounds. No physical attack will work against the Divine Beast of Light, who releases his divine power and charges as one with his rider..

-Quang!

A devastating blow imbued with dense holy power struck Yakt Spinner..

-Kwazijic!

Yakt spinner that penetrates straight through and tears off half of the body..

Yakt Spinner's robotic arms moved even though they were thrown away like trash by the enormous impact..

Now that the opponent is frozen due to the impact and fall... 2.7 seconds, when your body can move even for a moment. Wielded four wire cutters.

High- performance AI calculated the trajectory even in situations where the body was thrown. To make sure to kill stopped enemies.

Sharp wire cutters swinging in four directions cut fabric in a determined trajectory..

A line of silver snakes lunged from all directions to bite their prey..

This time, it's a sure kill..

"great…!"

"……?!"

Yacht Spinner momentarily reviewed my camera's failure. In a split second, the Stallion that was carrying Leon disappeared like an illusion and he hit the ground..

The wire cutter's trajectory was calculated assuming a rider on horseback..

If the size of the target is reduced by less than half, too-perfect calculations can actually lead to fatal mistakes.!

Leon fired his body like a cannonball and struck right in the middle of what would have been a perfect orbit.,

With the destructive power it has shown so far, it would be able to cut off my main computer in an instant..

「Yappy. What is sealed here must never come out..」

Strong artificial intelligence completed the calculation even in a split second..

A repair shop built on a sealed facility. The last way to protect this place. If there is even a 0.01% chance, the machine will not stop acting..

-Self-destruct sequence begins. Detonation of all explosives for facility landfill

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!!

A large amount of explosives planted throughout the repair shop exploded all at once..
