Chapter 185 - NPC? (2)
Chapter 185 – NPC? (2)
Puck!
“Khuuuuuuuuuk!”
Although Captain Michael was disoriented with the sound of bullets and exploding bullets combined with the dying cries of the Gray Wolves, he could still hear something that sounded very strange in the current situation.
So, he looked toward the place he heard the sound from. There Michael saw a strange man sticking a sword into his subordinate’s throat.
Gush! Gush!
Blood was gushing out from his subordinate’s neck, and it was certainly real.
“Who are you?” he asked.
Michael landed here after confirming that this was an uninhabited island.
Even if this Hurd Mcdonald Island wasn’t an uninhabited island originally, it became so after the herd of Gray Wolves appeared here. It was impossible for humans to deal with even one Gray Wolf especially if they were unarmed.
So, when the person appeared and killed his subordinate, Micahel could not help but be startled and attempt to question that stranger.
[[email protected]##$%%^&* %%#!*^!]
Michael could not understand what he was saying.
However, unlike Michael, there were some who understood his language.
They were the 15 guys who actualized reality and those who were watching the video in real time with the seven drones and the numerous small helmet cams.
[How dare you intrude on my territory! I’ll kill you all!]
“…”
“…”
“…”
At this stranger’s shouting, those on the island who achieved reality actualization by reaching level 1200, and the US Government, the Holdridge and the Shaipe people watching the video from a distance could not say anything because that shouting wasn’t a monster’s cry but human language.
Actually, that stranger clearly looked human.
However, Michael could not afford to stare at him blankly because he attacked again with a dagger.
“Attack him, everyone! Attack that man!”
Michael did not understand what the stranger was saying, but he knew that man was an enemy.
Maybe he was much stronger than a Gray Wolf.
Unfortunately, Michael’s predictions were correct.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“He is too fast!”
“Humans can move like him?!”
“Damn it! Don’t shoot recklessly!”
In Michael’s eyes, the stranger was really fast.
When they fired, the stranger had already vanished from the place he was standing on. So, Michael immediately stopped them and opened his mouth.
“Gather in the middle, everybody! Face each other back to back with your guns pointing outward!!”
“Got it!”
“Understood!”
Michael made the best choice.
“You 15 guys, gather in one place now! What matters is not the Gray Wolf!”
Soon two groups, consisting respectively of the 48 soldiers and 15 reality actualization achievers formed, and they turned their attention to the man who suddenly appeared before them .
Thanks to their coordinated efforts, their attack was successful this time.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Nice! We hit him!”
Since their formation was a circle, they could look in all directions and find the stranger unless he jumped to the sky or dived into the ground. So they successfully managed to drill bullets into his body.
“Damn it! Even this guy is not an ordinary human being!”
Even though he was shot, he was still as fast as before, so they came to realize that he was indeed not an ordinary man.
In Washington DC, USA.
“No way, I wonder if it is not monsters alone that emerge as enemies.”
Nobody refuted this person when he asked in a quiet voice because they also clearly heard it.
Monster.
They thought it was just monsters and nothing else. And this was also the opinion of the US Government, the Holdridge Group and the Shaipe Group who prided themselves on having more information about “Revival Legend” than anyone else.
But a stranger suddenly jumped out of nowhere on this uninhabited island.
Of course, there was a strong possibility that he was a human-type monster.
Actually, there were such monsters. However, the stranger could communicate in his language, which was completely different from the normal bloodthirsty monsters.
So, the man in the video is not a monster?
If that was true, it was very significant.
“Then, should I call him an NPC?”
“….”
“….”
“….”
The one who asked this question was Schuler Wilson, the head of the US Government which was on par with the Holdridge and Shaipe Groups, who had just reached level 1100 within “Revival Legend”. But none of the cabinet members said anything in response because they were afraid of refuting him given the clear evidence.
All the cabinet members were experienced players of ‘Revival Legend’, so they had experiences of encountering NPCs in high positions from time to time.
As a matter of fact, they once checked the levels of some NPCs and found they were level 2653, level 2985, and even level 3375.
This level was high enough to stun anybody.
Of course, no one was scared of them because they were nothing more than NPCs, after all. However, all the cabinet members watching the video could not help but tremble at the thought that they might confront an enemy with such a high level some day.
Although they knew that level was not the sole indicator of one’s strength, it still played a significant part.
So, they closely watched Captain Michael and his forces battle against the stranger, hoping that they could capture him with the human-made firearms.
And it was the same case with the Holdridge and Shaipe Groups who were watching the video closely from their headquarters.
On the uninhabited Hurd McDonald Island.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers united and attempted to fire at Captain Michael’s order.
And the 15 reality actualization achievers in the other group got into a circle formation like the soldiers with the healer and damage dealer on the inside with the tanks on the outside. But they also could not help but swear at their current situation.
“Damn it! I can easily shoot him at my level!”
“You bet!”
The fact that they reached level 1200 meant that they devoted themselves to ‘Revival Regend’ for at least two or three years, or for some, almost four years.
In other words, even if they spent all the time hunting monsters only, they inevitably had lots of EXP.
Moreover, they were not just content with enjoying “Revival Legend ”, but they also received the active support from the US Government, the Holdridge Group and the Shaipe Group, so they had some combat experiences.
So, they could figure out what level the stranger was at a glance. What they found out was that he might be an agility-oriented assassin around level 400.
And they concluded that if they fully used their abilities, they could not only block him but also subdue him. In fact, the soldiers were struggling to fire at the man who ran so fast, but they could still track down on him with their eyes. But they could not catch up with him because he was so agile. Nonetheless, they could still eventually subdue him because he was alone.
But Michael ordered them to leave the place.
“This is an order from headquarters. We have to leave this place with the soldiers and withdraw from here. What are you going to do?”
All the 15 guys knew why the headquarters ordered them to withdraw. They were very valuable in the headquarters’ eyes. So much so that if even one of them dies, the group that the deceased person belonged to would regret it very much.
Anyway the 15 members who heard the radio message turned their heads to the soldiers, who were barely coping with the situation by forming a circle.
So, Michael made the decision to withdraw.
Honestly, he was confident that they wouldn’t be defeated right away even if they were attacked several times by the stranger, but he did not feel the need to disobey the headquarter’s command.
“We’re going to withdraw slowly.”
“Okay.”
“Sure.”
No matter how much they had been trained, the soldiers could still be called ordinary people. Nonetheless, the 15 men who could be called strong men slowly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving the soldiers behind.
In Washington DC, USA.
“Oh my God! How can these 15 guys withdraw when they are really needed and leave the soldiers behind?”
At first Schuler Wilson, the head of the US Government, ordered the 15 reality actualization achievers to attack because of their excellent performance against the level 100-150 Gray Wolves, and he was curious what abilities they would show against the NPC this time.
Of course, he made the decision because the stranger who appeared was estimated to be a level 400 assassin, and he thought the tanks could block him without much issue if they were backed up by the healer and damage dealer.
However, Wilson soon had to order them to withdraw because only five of the 15 men were from the US Government, with the rest belonging to the Holdridge and the Shaipe Groups, so they couldn’t ignore the request of the other two groups.
But Wilson was very unhappy with the decision.
So he said without hiding his displeasure, “So, what’s our next move?”
