Robbing the Convenience Store (3)
“Be careful! That guy has a gun.”
Min-cheol's gun was different from the one he had received for his job class. It looked similar to the firearms carried by actual police officers.
‘Why the hell did he shoot the bulletin board?’
It wasn't just that; it was a man who precisely shot the bulletin board.
It was as if he was warning us against looking at the bulletin board.
After that, seeing the guy trying to escape on a motorcycle, Min-cheol shouted.
“Min-cheol! Aim for the motorcycle's wheel!”
“Yes!”
BOOM!
Min-cheol's bullet flew accurately.
SWISH~ CRACK!
The bullet hit the man's motorcycle's rear wheel perfectly, and the man who lost his sense of direction fell forward with the motorcycle.
“You guys stay back.”
“We'll go too.”
“No, it's dangerous. Just watch the situation from here.”
With those words, he took the monsters and slowly walked towards the man who had fallen.
Because he needed to find out why he shot the bulletin board we were looking at.
As I approached, the man pointed his gun at me.
Just in case, I sent out one Bugbear in front to tank and talked to the man.
“Can I talk for a moment? This monster is my summoned beast, so don't worry...”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
But the man ignored my words and shot at the Bugbear coming towards him.
The bullet the man shot hit the Bugbear's head accurately, and one of them hit the eye perfectly, killing the Bugbear instantly.
As the Bugbear fell, the man aimed his gun at me.
Just in case, I hid behind the dead Bugbear and talked to the man.
“Wait a minute! Why are you doing this?”
“You're telling me to talk after sending monsters to kill you?”
“No. Didn't I say I'm the summoner?”
“Heh heh heh. Funny.”
The man laughed as if it was amusing, threw the gun he was holding, and pulled out a new weapon from empty space.
An iron chain.
Probably that guy also had a job class.
The man approached me swinging the chain.
It seemed impossible to avoid the fight.
‘Damn. Do I have to fight?’
It was puzzling why we had to fight each other in a situation full of these monsters, even if we were supposed to help each other.
But the man who had approached right in front of me swung the chain at me.
SWISH SWISH!
The chain flying towards me at high speed.
While watching the chain flying accurately towards my head as if it was alive, I quickly rolled my body to dodge the attack.
Bugbear summoned. X 5
At the same time, I summoned Bugbears again.
The 5 Bugbears immediately let out loud cries and rushed at the man.
“Is this a summoner? Tough.”
While looking at the summoned Bugbears, the man who had kept some distance from me used a skill towards the Bugbears.
Chokehold
※ Using the chain to strongly choke the opponent's neck.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
At the same time, the chain from the man's hand, which seemed to move alive, wrapped around the neck of one Bugbear.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRACK!
At the same time, the chain squeezed strongly and instantly shattered the Bugbear's neck bone.
‘Strong.’
Perfect movement without any hesitation.
No sign of wavering.
It seemed he was very familiar with this situation.
CRUNCH! CRACK! CRUNCH!
Instantly, three of the summoned Bugbears lost their lives.
And as the number of Bugbears decreased, the man threw the chain at me.
It was clearly an action to kill me.
CLANG!
I raised the knife to deflect the man's attack, then stepped back a bit to keep some distance from the man.
‘No choice.’
Actually, I didn't want to fight this man to the best of my ability.
He's the same person, right?
But the opponent who was trying to kill me.
If I handle it carelessly, I might die.
Bugbear King summoned.
The man looked astonished at the summoned Bugbear King.
“Crazy. It's a boss monster level.”
The difference from normal monsters would be obvious.
The overwhelming physical strength of the Bugbear King.
And immediately, I used a knife to wound the Bugbear King's arm.
DRIP.
Red blood flowing from the Bugbear King's arm.
The man looked at me with a puzzled expression as if wondering why I was wounding my own summoned beast.
But soon, he would understand why I did it.
Blood clones appearing due to the blood flowing from the Bugbear King's arm.
And I also slightly wounded my own arm.
Blood Clone
※ Blood consumption of a certain amount.
※ Creates blood clones.
※ Blood clones can use 50% of the base capabilities.
At the same time, my clones were summoned.
I planned to use all my power to suppress the man immediately.
“You're crazy.”
The man looked at the Bugbear King in front of him, me, and the blood clones with a puzzled expression.
He had already realized that he couldn't handle them with his own power, but he didn't give up.
Submission
※ Submits the opponent with the chain stuck in them.
The chain that flew was stuck into the Bugbear King's body.
At the same time, the Bugbear King under my control seemed to submit to the man, not following my commands.
“Here. If it's the strongest one here, it should be able to handle it to some extent.”
Only one person can be submitted with the chain.
So, I chose the strongest looking Bugbear King here and submitted it.
But that was the man's mistake.
The blood clones of the Bugbear King were already under my control, and we already knew that the Bugbear King wasn't very strong because it consumed a lot of blood to summon the blood clones.
‘Why did I choose that one.’
-KROAR!
The blood clones of the Bugbear King immediately rushed at the Bugbear King.
BOOM! CRACK!
Unlike last time, the Bugbear King's attack power was quite strong without consuming as much blood.
The guy starting to fight evenly with his blood clones.
But I also have me and my blood clones, right?
My clones quickly approaching the man who couldn't do anything else because he was controlling the Bugbear King.
Then, starting to attack the man using the knife.
“Ugh!”
The man tried to block the clone's attack while somehow controlling the Bugbear King, but it was useless.
At this point, controlling the Bugbear King seemed to be the man's limit.
And I also raised the knife and quickly approached, striking the chain controlling the Bugbear King strongly.
CLANG!
A strong metallic clashing sound as the chain broke.
At the same time, the Bugbear King's submission was automatically released, and my blood clone hit the man's abdomen and then aimed the knife at his neck.
“Now, give up?”
“Heh heh heh. You're quite something.”
The man didn't understand what I was saying, but after subduing him, I asked why he had broken the bulletin board.
“What the hell is that bulletin board? And why did you break it?”
“Do you think I'd tell you that?”
“You have to tell me. Or else I don't know what I'll do.”
With those words, I gestured to the blood clone, and the clone moved the knife pointed at the man's neck slightly.
Then, a little red blood flowed from the man's neck.
“If you don't tell me, you're going to kill me?”
“Yes. Of course. I'm not stupid enough to just let go of someone who rushed at me to kill me. If you want to live, give me an appropriate price.”
The man smiled as if amused by my words.
“Good. Then, let's make a deal. I'll tell you some facts I know, so save me. How about it?”
The man seemed to hesitate a bit at my words.
But clearly, this man knew quite a few facts, so as someone lacking information, we had no other choice.
“Good.”
“Okay. What do you want to know first?”
“What the hell is that bulletin board? And why did you shoot it?”
“Bulletin board. As the name suggests, it's a bulletin board. And the reason for shooting it? It was really nothing special. Just to keep other people from looking at it, I guess?”
The man explained simply.
But that explanation was too insufficient.
“Tell me in more detail.”
“Well, think of it as similar to a game bulletin board. You can exchange maps through the bulletin board, and the guy who is some planet administrator or something posts notices.”
“Game bulletin board?”
I thought about the bulletin board I had seen earlier.
When I thought about it, it looked like a window similar to a normal game bulletin board.
‘Notices are posted?’
Just like game site administrators posting notices, this bulletin board also seemed to have that damn planet administrator posting notices.
“How can I find the bulletin board?”
“Well, it's simple. If you approach something with a purpose similar to the actual bulletin board, it appears with a certain probability. I don't know about the bulletin board except for this.”
“What about other information?”
“Do you know about shelters?”
“Yes. I already know.”
“Oh. Is the library one of yours?”
The man pointed with his finger in the opposite direction of our school and said.
‘Is there a shelter there too?’
Other people seemed to have created a shelter in the library.
“Since entering the shelter is difficult, if you have any thoughts, go there once.”
“Is there any other information besides that?”
“Other information. Ah. Don't ever go to places like military bases.”
“Why?”
“Because it's hell right now.”
After saying that, the man showed no more indication that he knew anything.
He had a look as if he knew something more, but since he said he didn't know even if I asked more, it seemed there was no way to find out.
“Then, I'll go.”
With those words, the man who told me some information suddenly disappeared.
After the man disappeared, I returned to the convenience store where the students were.
“Teacher. What the hell is that guy?”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. More importantly, it seems there's another shelter nearby.”
“Another shelter?”
“Yeah. I have to visit there once.”
Since I didn't know much about shelters yet.
I told the students to go back with the backpack containing food first, since if the person who made the shelter like us knew a lot, and headed to the place with the library.
‘...Is this it?’
Another shelter, not the one we had.
A library covered with a blue shield was in front of me now.
