Capítulo 19: Blue Falcon
Ren stared at the thousands of Hell Hounds marching towards Naraki Fortress.
One Hell Hound alone was troublesome, let alone this many. However, after seeing the expressions of others, Ren then realized that this number was still not too large. On the walls, some genomancers began to leap, preparing to face the wave of monsters.
Meanwhile, Ren just prepared his sniper rifle, ready to assist from a distance. By the way, this was also the first time Ren had seen so many genomancers fighting. It could be said that this was a unique opportunity to gauge the strength of other genomancers.
Ren used the scope on his sniper rifle to observe the actions of the genomancers. He saw the genomancers leaping straight into the crowd of monsters, swinging their weapons from side to side, starting to slaughter the monsters.
"They can handle those monsters easily," Ren murmured.
Although outnumbered, genomancers were still individually stronger. They could fight three to five monsters at once. Defense combined with weapons made it practically very difficult for ordinary monsters to defeat genomancers.
"Why do those Hell Hounds seem smarter than before?"
In Ren's view, although genomancers were superior, the dogs were doing their best not to get hurt and waiting for their pack to surround the genomancers.
Although now it seemed that the genomancers were superior, if left alone there might still be some casualties. Considering that, Ren decided to help immediately.
He squeezed the trigger after targeting one of the monsters. The bullet flew so fast across the distance and hit a Hell Hound. Unfortunately, the bullet only managed to injure the outer skin of the monster.
Not only Ren was using his weapon, other members also used their respective sniper rifles to assist the genomancers. Unfortunately, the damage inflicted by the sniper was not enough to seriously injure the monster. It must be said that the performance of firearms was inferior to the cold weapons used by most genomancers.
The genomancers fought fiercely. Although the actions of the Hell Hounds seemed smarter than usual, their intelligence had only slightly increased. With the help of long-range shooters, genomancers could still defeat many Hell Hounds.
However, after two hours passed and the first wave of Hell Hounds was successfully dealt with, the second wave came.
"Damn! Are there still many more?"
"Uh, I ran out of ammunition."
"My wrist is very stiff."
The mercenaries assisting the genomancers from atop the wall complained upon seeing the second wave approaching.
Yuji approached Ren, patting his shoulder as he said, "Let's take turns, you can rest first."
Ren nodded, not refusing Yuji's kindness. There weren't many snipers brought by the fourth squad, other weapons didn't have the range as far as sniper rifles, so only snipers were effective. Finally, Akihisa arranged for his members to shift so that Ren and the other sniper experts could rest.
Ren walked towards one of the restaurants. Now, most people gathered on the walls to watch the confrontation with the second wave of monsters. As a result, not many people were inside the fortress town.
He entered the restaurant and saw that some people also seemed to have just arrived here. Ren ordered food and sat at the corner table.
Shortly afterward, the food he ordered arrived. It was monster meat skewers. Monster meat was inherently tough. However, that didn't mean there wasn't a way to cook it.
Although it was very troublesome, because the supply of monster meat was plentiful, it was normal for some people to develop delicious food from monster meat. Because regardless, the cost of the ingredients was very low, making it very easy to get a higher profit margin.
"Excuse me, may I sit here?"
A girl's voice immediately interrupted Ren, who was focusing on his food. He turned and observed a young girl in a blue falcon uniform standing with a sweet smile in front of him.
"Ah, yes, you can," Ren replied.
The Blue Falcon uniform of the girl made Ren wary, but he couldn't refuse her request just like that.
"Thank you," the girl said as she took a seat in front of Ren.
Ren didn't say anything and just focused on his food.
But not long after, the girl disturbed him again.
"Is your name Ren Kanazawa?"
Ren stopped moving. He slowly looked at the girl suspiciously.
"Yes, that's my name."
The girl smiled. Her smile didn't bring peace to Ren; instead, he felt uncomfortable with her expression.
"Is that so? I heard you joined the Z army? Although not a major mercenary group, it's still impressive to be able to join them," the girl praised Ren. But again, the girl showed a strange smile that made Ren feel like he was being stared at by a predator.
"Hm, that's right. Do I know you?"
Ren was finishing his food as quickly as possible. He tried not to look at the girl and focused on eating the monster meat he ordered. However, the girl kept bothering him.
"You might not recognize me, but I definitely know you. It's amazing to survive after consuming the monster king's gene fluid."
Ren fell silent. Now it was clear that the girl in front of him was truly from Blue Triangle. Worse yet, she knew him. Ren's mind began to race. He wondered if he should run away now?
But in the midst of his turmoil, he saw the girl actually eating her ordered food and ignoring Ren.
After finishing the monster meat, Ren thought about leaving, but a delicate hand grabbed his arm.
"If you want to stay alive, it's better to listen to me first."
Ren breathed slowly. He decided to confront this confusing girl.
"Who are you really?"
"My name is Hina Mayuri, Captain of squad E from Blue Falcon. You don't need to worry; the reason I came to you is not to kill you or threaten you. Listen to my story first."
After hearing that, Ren sat back down immediately. He glanced at Hina. He was no longer surprised by her status; there were already too many surprises he had encountered.
Hina finished her meal, then said to Ren, "You're the one who killed Trash Haunter, right?"
Ren nodded slowly.
"That was a fatal mistake you made. Trash Haunter was looking for you because he thought you still had that monster gene fluid. If you chose to ignore it, then you should be able to live safely now."
"What do you mean?"
"In short, although you drank that monster gene fluid and became a genomancer, it's not a big problem. Genomancers themselves are very rare. As long as you contact Blue Triangle or Blue Falcon and explain the problem, you may be recruited.
But the problem was that you fought Trash Haunter once, and saw his transformation after his death, and even continued to fight him until you defeated him.
Seeing Trash Haunter's transformation into a werewolf could be considered your real problem."
Ren was still confused. He looked back at Hina with a questioning look.
"That's a secret you shouldn't have known," Hina replied as if she understood Ren's look.
