Erend didn't really understand how that could happen. But because Tut conveyed it as briefly as possible, Erend was able to get to the heart of the matter.
So this kind of error can happen too. He had not expected that there would be so many complications in welcoming the coming Great Calamity.
It was as if a parade was being set in motion by the evil things in the Eternal Earth for that Calamity.
'Then what should I do now?' Erend asked Tut.
[ "That's obvious. You need to stop the influence of that evil corruption Magic before it spreads too far." ]
'Yeah, but how? I can't tell people here about it!'
[ "About that, you have to find a way to solve it yourself. I can't directly interfere with the residents of your world." ]
In the end, it all comes back to this. He must find a solution himself.
But Erend thought it was reasonable. If Tut could use his influence to smooth everything over, it could disturb the balance of the universe. Or something that has consequences like that.
[ "Exactly." ] Tut spoke in response to what had just crossed Erend's mind.
Erend looked around him. This personnel already seems ready to board the ship.
And based on his standing in this team, he wouldn't be able to do anything to just cancel this training.
Even if he screamed like a madman, it would only embarrass him even more.
They wouldn't believe that there was an evil corrupt Magic from another world on that ship.
Which has taken over the minds of the humans there.
The soldiers who were here had never really faced creatures from another world and were only busy at the military base in the city.
Luckily, Erend, Billy, and Adrien are seated in the back of the helicopter.
So, if they whispered no one could hear. Erend whispered to Adrien first. Adrien's seat was in the middle between him and Billy.
"What's wrong, Drake?" he asked.
"On that ship, there is some evil Magic existence, sir. We have to be careful," Erend said.
Erend could see Adrien's eyes widen over the mask he was wearing.
"You sure?" he asked.
Erend nodded confidently. "I'm sure. Please tell Billy."
Adrien nodded. Then he told Billy the same as what Erend told him.
Billy then looked at Erend with shocked eyes. Erend only responded with a nod.
"Then what should we do?" Adrien asked.
"I can handle it. I have to. But I know we can't possibly tell the soldiers about this. So, we'll just let a few of them die there since there's nothing we can do. After that I'll stop the evil Magic before it spreads too far," Erend said.
"Couldn't you have acted quicker to protect them?" he asked.
"And show them my power?" Erend shook his head. "I can't do that. However, when the evil Magic comes out, they'll be too busy and won't notice my power."
Adrien looked at Erend. Erend would rather let a few of these soldiers die than show his power.
Adrien usually does have a high sense of justice. However, considering what these soldiers had done to Erend, he couldn't blame Erend for his decision.
"Okay," said Adrien. "What should Billy and I do?"
"You and Billy should stay in the helicopter for the time being. Don't come any closer. Even if Geralt shouted, find an excuse for you to stay in the helicopter. Once we get on the ship, I don't think it will take long for the evil Magic to show itself."
Adrien sighed. Then nodded. "OK."
After that, Adrien relayed what he had just said to Billy.
Billy nodded while looking at Erend.
The helicopter was now above the ship. The boats in charge of watching around the ship have also arrived at their positions.
But suddenly there was a call from the soldiers on the boat.
pAn,Da-n0v e1,c
"What do you mean?"
- "I mean, there wasn't anyone to be seen on the ship. No activity."
"Damn it. Have they been lazy and forgotten their job?" Geralt sounded irritated. "Doesn't matter. Let's go down and neutralize them. I will teach them a lesson for slacking off on this important training,"
"Proceed as planned! Let's board the ship!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Geralt said his order, the soldiers in the helicopter prepared to descend on the ropes.
Among them were two people who immediately tried to look busy even though they weren't doing anything. They are Adrien and Billy.
One by one the soldiers began to descend with ropes onto the ship.
Erend said with his gaze on Adrien and Billy. Telling them not to go anywhere.
Adrien and Billy just nodded. Then Erend got down from the helicopter. Join with other soldiers.
Geralt still didn't notice that two people had not gotten off the helicopter because he had already walked into the ship's door.
- "Sir! I can see someone in the ship through the window."
"Alright. Let's breach!" Geralt said.
Geralt led the troops toward the entrance.
"Shoot anyone you see in the window," Geralt ordered.
Of course, the bullets they use are not real bullets. It's just a paint bullet.
The bullet will instantly disintegrate and leave color where it landed.
- "Roger," the soldier on the boat answered.
He then aimed at the person in the window with his rifle.
Paint bullets will explode in the window and indicate that the people on the ship have been shot.
"Why didn't he try to hide?" the soldier wondered.
The figure of the man on the ship seemed to just stand blankly ahead.
He seems to have no common sense and is under the influence of something.
"Shit, is he using drugs? He's in big trouble."
Those who are on board and serve as hostages and pirates are also soldiers.
If they really used drugs during the training, then surely they will get a very severe punishment.
But the soldier who was aiming just shrugged it off. "Well, whatever. It's not my concern."
*BANG!*
He shot.
*PAKK!*
The paint bullet hit the window glass and left a red color. But the people on the ship didn't seem to notice.
The soldier frowned. Then, contact Geralt directly.
- "Sir, I shot him already. But the man just stood and do nothing. Based on what I can see, he looks like he's unconscious. He's probably under the influence of some kind of drugs."
"What?!" Geralt sounded furious.
He didn't say anything and just ran straight towards the door while calling out the order to break through.
Erend watched from behind. He heard everything that the soldier on the boat saw.
The man he saw through the window and probably all the personnel on board must have been affected by that evil Magic.
Erend will let some of these soldiers be affected by the evil Magic.
Then he will try to handle the evil Magic as secretly as possible.
Erend wants to protect his world. But he's just an ordinary human being who can't continue to be kind and become a hero by sacrificing himself. Especially for the people he hates.
