“I’m sorry but this is mine.”
This was the Rama base Valencia was trying to get to. But Ark was on a hill several hundred metres from it. Ark arrived here before the federation’s army……
‘The federation rallied their forces for a surprise attack. The Rama will soon find out about the attack. Obviously they will build a defense line to prevent the advance of the federation army. In this situation they had to rally all their troops. Then the Rama’s base will be empty!’
It was the first thing that popped into Ark’s head when hearing about the federation’s strategy. Then a path naturally emerged.
Crevasse → Pyramid → Warp from the Pharaoh’s room → the ground → Rama’s main base.
This was the path Ark had taken while experiencing various hardships. His only idea had been to return to the federation base. When he thought about it, there was a shortcut to safely return to the Rama base. Ark arrived here before the federation’s army thanks to the shortcut. No, he arrived when there was a lot of time left.
‘They had a lot of people so there is a limit to how fast the main army can move. In addition, they had to fight the Rama so they would take at least four days to arrive. If I utilize the pyramid then I can arrive the Rama base within a day. There is plenty of time while the Rama and federation fight so there is no need to hurry.’
So Ark had plenty of time to kill. He could gain some experience from the Anubis. He intentionally fell into a trap and wandered around the infinite rooms. This was because he already knew a way to defeat the traps. Moreover, this time he wasn’t alone. There were the 20 Silver Hand and 10 Royal Guards so that was 30 people.
“Concentrate and shoot!”
Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tang! Tang!
Ark gave a command and dozens of bullets crossed through the air into the eye. The Anubis turned into a pile of stone. At this time, the average level of the Royal Guards was level 25. They swept through the level 35 Anubis with the 30 troops and the Royal Guards gained 3 levels! The Silver Hand and Ark who were level 40 also gained 1 level.

Fortunately he was able to reach level 45 despite his prisoner status. The Anubis also dropped 300 Zaliman ores. In the past he would’ve have been able to obtain this loot but the bag spaces had increased with the number of members. Of course, he had to share the loot among the people but it was better than nothing. But the happy hunting didn’t last long. There was also an end to the rooms that he thought went on for infinity. Once they destroyed hundreds of years, the remaining rooms only contained piles of broken stone.
‘It is impossible to gain experience and loot like this forever.’
Ark sighed with disappointment when a message appeared.
-You have destroyed 100% of the Murat’s traps and obtained the title.
The Murat is a race that values wisdom above all. Because they are wise, they even respect the thieves who robbed their graves. That is the reason the Murat designed the traps where having wisdom would allow the thieves to escape.
However, there is another way to release the traps. If you can’t solve the secret then destroying 1,000 rooms will release the trap. You must be a very ignorant person. However, you didn’t give up so your patience is just as admirable as wisdom.
<br /><br /> It was a new title.<br /><br /> ‘But Ignorant Destroyer…..’<br /><br /> He wanted to ask about the secret of the trap. However, he wouldn’t have received the title if he hadn’t destroyed all the rooms. Then didn’t Ignorant Destroyer fit? But what was the secret of the trap?<br /><br /> ‘Ah, I don’t know. Anyway, I got a title so it doesn’t matter. And I don’t have any more time.’<br /><br /> Of course Ark wasn’t going to stay there forever. He had returned to the pyramid for a reason. Ark’s goal was something else!<br /><br /> ‘It is this!’<br /><br /> The Rama’s base located at the bottom of the hill!<br /><br /> “Valencia has already received a lot of achievements by intercepting my information. But information is only information. It has no meaning unless the war is won. And the prerequisite for winning is to destroy the Fairy and Star Gate. Figuring out the location of the base is nothing compared to that.”<br /><br /> This was the reason Valencia was fighting so hard. However, Ark had already arrived at the Rama’s base with 30 people. The base was also empty because all the Rama were trying to stop the federation army.<br /><br /> ‘I can take care of the Fairy and Star Gate before the federation gets here!’<br /><br /> This was Ark’s final goal.<br /><br /> “Are you ready?”<br /><br /> Ark examined the base for a while before turning around and asking. Clem bit his cigar and lifted a huge rifle.<br /><br /> “Who are you speaking to? We are mercenaries. We’re always ready.”<br /><br /> “We are also prepared.”<br /><br /> The Royal Guards took out their weapons and answered.<br /><br /> “You should know this already but this operation relies on secrecy and speed. The federation had advanced to a point several kilometres from here so most of the troops have been rallied to defend. But there will still be some troops at the base. We have to quickly take care of the Fairy and Star Gate before they notice.”<br /><br /> “Then we should process that first.”<br /><br /> Clem pointed to a watchtower in the centre of the base. Ark had already been here. The shapes were different but the arrangement of the buildings were similar to the federation’s base. The headquarters was a building in the centre with barracks around it.<br /><br /> ‘The structure is similar so the location of the Fairy and the Star Gate should be the same.’<br /><br /> The Rama’s Star Gate was probably underneath the headquarters. Therefore the headquarters in the centre was one of Ark’s goals. The watchtower Clem was pointing to was in front of the headquarters. If they wanted to reach headquarters then they would have to go through the watchtower. There was another reason why they had to dispose of the watchtower.<br /><br /> ‘The Rama’s Fairy!’<br /><br /> A crystal pillar was next to the watchtower. It was the Rama’s Fairy that he had seen a few times on the internet. The Rama’s Fairy was also built in the square in front of the headquarters.<br /><br /> ‘There are two Rama warriors guarding the Fairy. One near the Fairy and one on the watchtower……’<br /><br /> Ark considered a while before asking Clem.<br /><br /> “It is possible to snipe them?”<br /><br /> “It is possible to secretly take care of one but two is impossible.”<br /><br /> “Then that’s fine. I’ll take care of the other one.”<br /><br /> “You alone?”<br /><br /> “If several people move together then the probability of being detected is higher.”<br /><br /> Clem scratched his beard and looked at Ark for a while. Then he laughed and nodded.<br /><br /> “Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”<br /><br /> Ark descended the hill after hearing Clem’s reply. He had previously stolen a bike so Ark had experience with sneaking into the base. There were fewer troops so the risk had actually decreased<br /><br /> If he used Withdrawal and hid using the terrain then he easily managed to reach the vicinity of the Fairy.<br /><br /> -Withdrawal has been used.<br /><br /> <Probability of being detected by an enemy: 55%><br /><br /> But the risk level signifi<br/>cantly increased once he reached the vicinity of the watchtower. Ark hid behind a box near the Rama warrior guarding the Fairy. The distance was about 100 meters. After that there were no obstacles to hide behind.<br /><br /> ‘But I just need the right timing!’<br /><br /> Ark quietly pulled out the Impact Blade and held his breath. And he waited for a Rama warrior patrolling the Fairy to turn the opposite way.<br /><br /> ‘Now!’<br /><br /> He jumped over the box and ran towards the Rama warrior. However, he had only ran 50 metres before the Rama warrior at the watchtower reacted.<br /><br /> -Eh? W-who?<br /><br /> The Rama warrior barely finished talking when his head bounced back. The Rama warrior staggered and grabbed the railing. The head continuously shook and he fell over the railing. The Rama warrior patrolling the Fairy flinched as a colleague suddenly fell from above. He then discovered the rapidly approaching Ark.<br /><br /> –I-intruder…..ack!<br /><br /> But his voice couldn’t continue. Ark’s hand had narrowed the distance and covered the warrior’s mouth. He then kicked the back of the knee and shoved the blade into the neck. The Rama warrior received a critical hit and his health quickly fell. If he continued fighting like this then he would definitely win but there was no time.<br /><br /> “Armour armament!”<br /><br /> Ark immediately pulled out his battle suit. He left the sword lodged in the Rama’s neck and shouted.<br /><br /> “18 Barrage!”<br /><br /> Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!<br /><br /> 18 Barrage was the special skill attached to Hyper Drone that drained all the mana! Most of the troops had been rallied to fight against the federation’s army so the sentry was only level 30<br /><br /> It wasn’t necessary to use this skill against an opponent like this but it was necessary to get the best effect. No other skill could top the speed and accuracy of the skill. The Rama warrior jumped like a freshly caught fish every time he was hit by the fist but the sword lodged in his neck meant he couldn’t scream. And when Ark’s fist hit the chest 15 times…..<br /><br /> -Achievement +40.<br /><br /> The Rama warrior turned into a bloody rice cake.<br /><br /> ‘Phew, the first checkpoint has been passed.’<br /><br /> The battle suit was peeled off and Ark removed his sword. He turned around and looked at the Rama warrior splattered on the ground. It was the Rama warrior that had fallen from the watchtower next to the Fairy.<br /><br /> ‘……It’s not a joke?’<br /><br /> Ark looked at the three holes in the Rama’s head and laughed. It wasn’t necessary to say but the Rama warrior hadn’t just fallen to his death. It was the skill of Clem who was the leader of the Silver Hand. Clem had sniped the Rama warrior from his spot on the hill. The Rama warrior couldn’t even scream with distress thanks to Clem’s skill. If this was a FPS game then the enemy would’ve died with the first shot but Galaxian was a RPG game. Unless there was a large level difference, it was hard for a sniper to kill with a headshot on the first hit. Furthermore, the sniper rifle was one of the slowest guns. It was possible to do 3 consecutive headshots because there were two more snipers apart from Clem. They were Kalliben and Beleol from the Royal Guards.<br /><br /> ‘Not long ago they only had a 50% success rate……’<br /><br /> The Royal Guards hadn’t just obtained experience from the pyramid hunting. The Silver Hand were mercenaries with a lot more experience and combat skills than the Royal Guards. In addition, they also had specialized expertise so they were incomparable to the Royal Guards. Ark realized that fighting in the pyramid was a chance to narrow the gap between the two groups.<br /><br /> ‘It is possible to learn a new skill in one or two days. Having a more experienced warrior teaching them the skill will make them learn faster!’<br /><br /> So Ark divided up the group. The effect definitely showed. The Silver Hand already had a good impression of the Royal Guards. When members with similar skills were paired together, the Silver Hand was taught sword skills while the Royal Guards were taught in firearms. Therefore the Royal Guards gained a lot of skill and experience. The ones who showed the most progress was Kalliben and Beleol who were taught by Clem. Now Kalliben and Beleol could shot a hole in the enemy’s head from hundreds of metres away.<br /><br /> “You are talented. If I teach you well then you will become a sniper who won’t lost to anyone.”<br /><br /> Clem was especially impressed with Kalliben’s growth. The Royal Guards’ loyalty was at the maximum after the ‘Ark eating bugs’ incident! Their growth was the same as Ark’s growth.<br /><br /> ‘Anyway…..’<br /><br /> Ark took out a square object from his bag. He attached it to the lower part of the Fairy and a message appeared.<br /><br /> -C-6 has been installed.<br /><br /> The pre-set timer has been activated.<br /><br /> <60 minutes…..59 minutes 59 seconds……59 minutes 58 seconds……><br /><br /> It was the C-6 bombs he obtained from the troopers not long ago! He didn’t have an explosives related skill so he couldn’t use the C-6 directly. It was difficult for him to set the timer without it exploding at the same time. However, that problem was easily solved once he joined the Silver Hand. Electromagnetic mines were used with Nakuma hunting so the Silver Hand also had an explosives expert. The member had pre-set the timer of the C-6 beforehand.<br /><br /> ‘It will explode in 1 hour!’<br /><br /> He had handled the Rama warrior in the watchtower. The C-6 is installed on the Fairy so the only thing to take care of is the Star Gate in headquarters! Ark’s plan was to take care of everything in 1 hour and then escape from the base.<br /><br /> ‘There is plenty of time but I don’t know what variables there are so I need to hurry!’<br /><br /> He went straight towards headquarters after installing the C-6. The detachment members were already gathered in front of headquarters.<br /><br /> “Now I can’t call you squirt anymore.”<br /><br /> Clem laughed and said warmly after Ark joined them.<br /><br /> “I’ve started the C-6. In order to escape the base within 1 hour, we need to go through the barracks and reach the Star Gate within at least 30 minutes. Is that possible?”<br /><br /> “You should ask that guy. Hey, how about it?”<br /><br /> “I’m almost done.”<br /><br /> Heksu replied with manipulating his Nymphe. Heksu was a Scavenger in the Silver Hand who went around gathering the wreckage of the Nakuma. Heksu had kept on trying to persuade Ark to become his successor but he kept on refusing. Ark didn’t realize it until they met again on Beltana but a Scavenger’s job wasn’t just to pick up japtem. Heksu’s actual work in the Silver Hand was……<br /><br /> “Captain, the scan has finished.”<br /><br /> Heksu laughed and raised his head. At the same time, a map of a complicated structure appeared on Heksu’s Nymphe. Surprisingly, it was the map of the Rama’s headquarters! This was Heksu’s Scavenger ability. Heksu’s occupation was assistance since as collecting items, identifying items, repair or upgrading items, as well as determining the terrain of a dungeon or building through special technology. He still didn’t want to become Heksu’s successor but…..<br /><br /> ‘This profession will clearly be a big help on adventures!’<br /><br /> So Ark listened to some of Heksu’s wishes.<br /><br /> “How about it, do you understand it better now?”<br /><br /> “Yes, a little.”<br /><br /> “Huhuhu, you are wise.”<br /><br /> Heksu gloated as he patted Hegel’s sleek head. Ark gave Hegel to Heksu who was desiring a successor. Hegel might not have any combat capability but he was clever enough to calculate the trajectory of missiles. Fortunately Heksu quite liked Hegel.<br /><br /> ‘Once again, it truly is an excellent choice.’<br /><br /> He handed someone loyal over to the persistently clingy Heksu! This was how Ark managed to grow his summons in the previous game.<br /><br /> “Good work. Please transmit the information to the members’ Nymphes.”<br /><br /> “I understand.”<br /><br /> Heksu operated his Nymphe and the map was sent to all the members’ Nymphes.<br /><br /> “Now, let’s get started. Our time limit is 30 minutes. Don’t bother saving your Fire bullets or other special ammunition. If we destroy the Sta<br/>r Gate then we will have played the main role in the victory. The galactic federations can pay back the cost of the bullets!”<br /><br /> “Yes!”<br /><br /> Cheolkeok! Cheolkeok! Cheolkeok! Cheolkeok!<br /><br /> The detachment cheered and loaded their firearms. They couldn’t make a lot of noise once they entered the headquarters. The only thing left was speed!<br /><br /> “Charge!”<br /><br /> The crew ran into the headquarters. There were dozens of complex passages within the headquarters. However, there was no reason to get lost thanks to Heksu’s map. A 3D map rose from the Nymphe and indicated the position of the Star Gate. Ark and the detachment shot like the wind towards that location. They ran into some Rama warriors along the way but it wasn’t a problem.<br /><br /> -Heok! Y-you guys……?<br /><br /> Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!<br /><br /> It was a scary assault by 30 guns! The Rama warrior was riddled with holes and collapsed. It was truly overwhelming! One or two Rama warriors couldn’t slow down their rush.<br /><br /> “Pippin, Jupiter, install C-6 in 100 metre intervals. Do it quickly!”<br /><br /> “I understand.”<br /><br /> Two members obeyed Clem’s orders and installed C-6 at every corner.<br /><br /> -C-6 has been installed.<br /><br /> The pre-set timer has been activated.<br /><br /> <50 minutes……49 minutes 59 seconds……49 minutes and 58 seconds……><br /><br /> -C-6 has been installed.<br /><br /> The pre-set timer has been activated.<br /><br /> <40 minutes……39 minutes 59 seconds……39 minutes and 58 seconds……><br /><br /> The timer of Ark’s C-6 also floated in front of him. The C-6 Ark attached to the Fairy had a time limit of 1 hour. However, the C-6 the crew attached had a limit of 50 minutes, 40 minutes……it became increasingly less. Ark had shortened the time so that they would all blow up simultaneously. And……<br /><br /> Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!<br /><br /> –Heok! T-the federation! How did the federation get here?<br /><br /> Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!<br /><br /> –Kuack! N-no! We must defend this place!<br /><br /> Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!<br /><br /> –Damn, there are too many of them!<br /><br /> Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!<br /><br /> They rushed forward and fired their guns for 30 minutes. Ark and the detachment defeated 20 Rama and finally arrived at a huge underground hangar. In the centre of a hanger was a spiral shaped object with swirling blue light. And a 3D image of the galaxy was shown on the ceiling.<br /><br /> <br/> </p> <p><a href='/562514/13809147' class='p' rel='Prev'> ‹ Prev</a> <a href='/562514/13809155' class='n' rel='next'>Next › </a></p> </div> </article> </main> <footer><script src="https://j.whosread.com/foot.js"></script><div id="footer"><script>footer();</script></div></footer> <!--LiveInternet counter--><a href="https://www.liveinternet.ru/click"
