Chapter 2645: Re: Demon Realm Amusement Park

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

If I were to put it into words, it would be a situation where we had simply misread things. In order to intercept the presumed Lilia-san, we had planned to fight her on a road sandwiched between buildings, where her range of movement would be restricted, forcing the presumed Lilia-san into the air and making her run into the usage restriction on her emergency evasion.

However, when the situation actually unfolded, we found ourselves in the worst possible position, with the monster using the walls of the buildings as footholds to fly freely through the air and completely gaining the high ground over us.

It seemed I wasnt the only one who thought that things would go badly if we continued like this. One of the assault rifle users pointed behind us, and once we understood their intention, we all retreated at once.

Fighting the presumed Lilia-san in a wide-open space was dangerous, but it was still better than our current situation, so we fell back to the plaza and decided to fight the presumed Lilia-san there.

Of course, retreating wasnt easy either, as the presumed Lilia-san fired at us several times. It seemed that the submachine gun was also something the presumed Lilia-san considered a threat, as she was clearly targeting the submachine gun user, so we worked together to protect the submachine gun user sometimes even throwing ourselves in front of them.

Taking the hit ourselves was less damaging to the team as a whole than allowing the submachine gun user to take a headshot.

Although we took a fair amount of damage along the way, we managed to complete our retreat to the plaza without losing anyone, and we took up a slightly more spread-out formation to face the presumed Lilia-san.

The presumed Lilia-san had already used emergency evasion quite a lot. If we could land even a single hit, there was a high chance we could take her down, but emergency evasion itself wouldnt cause the presumed Lilia-sans durability to reach zero, so in exchange for the condition that a single hit would mean game over, she could essentially use emergency evasion as much as she wanted From here on, the battle would be about exploiting the openings created by her emergency evasion.

After an emergency evasion, even on the ground, you have to perform a movement action. Even though moving just one step is enough, there is still an opening of one step after an emergency evasion. The submachine guns best opportunity to strike is to aim for that opening The role of the submachine gun users, including me, and the bazooka user is to create openings in the presumed Lilia-sans defenses.

The presumed Lilia-san came straight toward us, then shifted her path toward the submachine gun. As expected, she was targeting the submachine gun And she intended to close the distance as well? That would make it harder for us to fire the bazooka, so we didnt want to let her get too close.

We assault rifle users moved forward to shield the submachine gun and launched an attack on the presumed Lilia-san.

Normally, assault rifles have a higher projectile speed than bazookas, making them difficult to evade after seeing them fired, but the presumed Lilia-san would undoubtedly dodge them.

What mattered was attacking the moment she dodged so that we could force her to use emergency evasion, and then having the submachine gun finish her off in the opening after the emergency evasion.

There were three of us. From our positions, we could cover left, right, and jumping. Now, how is she going to dodge? Left, right, or jump- huh? A slide? Down!?

It was fair to say that she had completely caught us off guard. Who would have thought shed slide underneath us here? But that was practically the equivalent of throwing off her balance. Our reactions were a little slow, but we had more than enough time to

However, the presumed Lilia-san, who had been sliding, suddenly launched her body into the air as though she were ignoring the laws of physics. An upward emergency evasion!? I- I suppose emergency evasion was a system-based movement in the game, and given that it boosted magic from the magic barrier, she could perform it from any posture

The presumed Lilia-san performed an upward emergency evasion while maintaining her sliding posture and fired at the same time With absolutely monstrous aim, the shot threaded its way between us and landed as a headshot on the submachine gun user. I saw the submachine gun users body disappear as though it had shattered.

And that wasnt all. While ascending from the emergency evasion, she had already recovered her posture to a certain degree, immediately kicked off the air for a double jump then canceled that with another forward emergency evasion, closed in on an assault rifle user, and finished them with a headshot while passing them, exactly like the one that had taken me out at the beginning.

Two of them went down in an instant!? The damage wed taken to some extent during the alley fight was coming back to haunt us here huh Wed completely lost control of the flow, and just as I thought this was bad a bazooka user suddenly tossed aside the gun they were holding.

To put it bluntly, that was a completely pointless action But the presumed Lilia-san reacted to that mysterious movement with her absurdly sharp reaction speed, perhaps wondering what they intended, and her movement stopped for the briefest moment.

And in that opening, another assault rifle user, who had maneuvered around behind the presumed Lilia-san, raised their gun. With only a momentary opening and no time to turn around, the presumed Lilia-san should have no choice but to use emergency evasion. Id aim for that Eh? Without turning around, she simply pointed her gun behind her A rear-facing shot!? Does this woman have eyes in the back of her head!?

The presumed Lilia-san landed a headshot on the assault rifle user with a rear-facing shot and took them down, then finished off the bazooka user who had thrown away their gun as well. After that, the presumed Lilia-san advanced toward me, the last one remaining.

W- What incredible strength. Even five against one wasnt enough Once it became one-on-one, there was no chance of winning anymore Its over

No, wait. Why is she approaching me instead of shooting from where she is? Her magic power reserves!? No matter how much the presumed Lilia-san suppresses wasted shots with her demonic aim, after fighting against five people for that long The guns magic power reserves are nearly depleted!

Theyre probably not completely depleted. If they were, shed retreat temporarily and recover her magic. But she can probably only fire one or two more shots at most. Thats why she cant risk me dodging, and shes approaching so she can finish me off with a headshot while passing by me.

A faint chance of victory The presumed Lilia-san was approaching me. I didnt know how close she intended to get before firing, but even for the presumed Lilia-san, seeing an assault rifle fired at such close range and dodging it was impossible due to the avatars capabilities.

So in a sense, it was almost a test of patience If I fired too early, she could evade it with emergency evasion. If I waited too long, shed shoot first I had to fire just slightly earlier than the presumed Lilia-san.

It wasnt something Id consciously thought about. But perhaps because somewhere in my mind I knew that I couldnt beat her in a straightforward fight, my body naturally resorted to an unexpected tactic here.

An emergency evasion forward, closing the distance toward the approaching presumed Lilia-san at an even greater speed Immediately afterward, the presumed Lilia-sans body plunged downwardas though it had been slammed into the ground.

An emergency evasion toward the ground But it was clearly not the movement shed intended. Compared to the earlier slide, her posture was obviously more compromised. She must have acted instinctively after I caught her off guard Turn around, make it in time!

The emergency evasion ended, and I twisted my body around and aimed my gun at the presumed Lilia-san. Naturally, the presumed Lilia-san was also trying to aim her gun at me And within that time compressed to the extreme, the sensation of my finger pulling the trigger was the only thing that felt intensely vivid.

Serious-senpai : [Normally, in reality, thered be no way for Lilia and Kaito to fight on equal terms like this, so I guess this really is something thats only possible because its a VR space. Well, Lilia did get four kills, so in practical terms, she pretty much won overwhelmingly, though]

? ? ? : [Well, thats precisely why Megiddo-san seems so interested in all sorts of simulated combat-related things. I have a feeling that if a technological revolution happens someday, shell probably make her own VR combat game.]
