“What’s that? They’re charging in.”
“What can a single unit do?”
“Isn’t that the rumored kamikaze squad?”
The Asgardians, with nearly 30 KOGs, were solidifying their defense.
A single KOG was charging into their encirclement.
The soldiers greeted it with half-smiles, their faces full of composure.
“Heh, looks like a suicide volunteer. Must be lacking upstairs, I’ll gladly kill you as you wish.”
Then, one KOG aimed its gun at Kenya.
“Farewell, inferior being…!”
The gun he was holding shattered.
It was due to a single shot from Kenya, who was rushing towards them at full speed.
He had accurately shot it down with a single shot while moving at high speed.
They had made the wrong choice.
What they should have done was to create a barrage with all 30 units.
They had been careless because it was just one unit.
Even though the opponent was the one who defeated the Holy Knight Captain.
“G-get ready!”
Everyone aimed their KOG guns.
But it was already too late, Kenya was already in the midst of the 30 KOGs.
“D-don’t shoot!”
The 30 KOGs surrounded Kenya, aiming their guns.
But they couldn’t shoot, because if they missed, they would hit their allies behind them.
“Everyone, switch to swords! We’ll surround and crush him!”
Then, about five KOGs tried to charge at Kenya.
“Concentrate, concentrate!”
Kenya concentrated, grasping the location of all the KOGs as they charged, and being aware of attacks from behind.
“H-how does he, does he have eyes in the back of his head!?”
Kenya parried all the attacks while surrounded.
But it seemed reckless to fight 5 vs 1.
The battle seemed to favor the Asgardians, after all, he was just one person.
It was impossible to win against numbers, and multi-on-one battles were that difficult.
But they began to notice something strange.
“Why, why aren’t we landing a single hit!?”
“It’s 5 vs 1!?”
“How can he stop all of this!?”
“Concentrate, don’t take a single hit. Grasp everything…”
Kenya gradually got used to fighting multiple opponents.
In Kenya’s mind, the world was visible as if he were looking down from above.
He supplemented the invisible parts with his brain, predicting movements, seeing the future.
It was like Lord’s Future Sight.
But what was different from Lord was the macro and micro world.
Strategy and tactics, Kenya was about to ascend to the pinnacle of those tactics.
In this hellish battlefield, the boy who risked his life was awakening.
To one of the strongest in this world.
But no one knew that yet.
And finally.
“What!?”
He began his counterattack.
“That’s one!”
One KOG exploded from a single flash of Kenya’s sword during the battle.
“Alright, I can do this!”
It even seemed like he was gradually gaining the upper hand.
In the first place, the Asgard Army had not anticipated a 5 vs 1 situation, and they were not able to coordinate well.
That was also one of the factors.
But more than that.
“Minimize your movements to dodge, make sure your counterattacks are decisive, understand that one mistake will kill you.”
Kenya’s level of movement was different.
“W-what are you guys doing! The opponent is just one person!”
A captain-class soldier, who seemed to be the unit commander, shouted.
Feeling irritated, he joined the battle against Kenya.
He was called a Knight Captain, the leader of the knights.
He was an elite who graduated from the pilot training academy with excellent grades.
But that was.
“Captain!!”
He carelessly entered Kenya’s range, and after a few seconds of sword fighting, he was unable to withstand it and was cut down.
The veteran knight turned to ash with a scream.
“What is this guy! What’s going on!”
It was as if an absolute domain of swords had been created in a certain space around Kenya.
The Asgardian soldiers could even see a spherical domain.
It was as if anything that entered that domain would be immediately cut down, and the image stopped the soldiers in their tracks.
They thought they had the advantage, but already five KOGs had turned to ash.
Kenya’s defense was perfect.
If it continued like this, he could defend it.
But that defense was easily broken.
“Don’t let them escape!! Resistance!”
The Asgardian soldiers’ focus shifted to Kaguya and the other resistance members.
Isshin and the others broke through the hole that Kenya had created.
One KOG from the Asgard Army took off to pursue them.
“Kaguya!!”
Kenya, who had been focused on defense, charged at the KOG that was targeting Kaguya and the others.
He released all his defensive stances and went all out.
So he succeeded in defeating that KOG.
“Kenyaaaa!!!”
He succeeded in defeating it, but Kaguya screamed as she saw the KOG exploding in front of her.
Because Kenya had been shot from behind and his arm had exploded.
“Go quickly!!”
Kenya turned his back to Kaguya and the others.
Kaguya tried to reach out to Kenya, but immediately pulled back and started running.
Kenya watched her back out of the corner of his eye.
(Good, she escaped)
Then he turned back to face the Asgard Army again.
In front of him was still a large army of KOGs.
He glared at the large army and drew a line on the ground with his sword.
A straight line was drawn horizontally, like a boundary line.
“This line. I won’t let you cross this line. Even if I die, absolutely.”
He said to himself, and declared to the Asgard Army.
From there, the death battle for Kenya began.
Even after losing one arm, Kenya, who was still focused on defense, should have been a dead man, but he was like a wall.
The Asgard Army could not break through that high, hard wall.
One by one, the Asgard Army was shot down.
The large army of 30 units had already been reduced to 15.
“Why so much… what is this guy?”
“Not yet, I can still fight…”
Kenya’s eyes were not dead.
But he had already run out of ammunition, and one arm was not moving.
Because of that, his energy consumption was high and his operating time was running out.
“B-barrage! F-from long range. I-it can’t be helped. It’s a war of attrition! Don’t get close to him!”
Another Knight Captain ordered.
His instructions were very accurate, but his pride would not allow it.
The opponent was just one person, and for 30 KOGs to declare defeat in close combat against that one person was unacceptable.
And a war of attrition meant letting the resistance escape.
(I’ll throw away my shame and reputation. He’s that dangerous.)
A barrage from long range, a storm of bullets.
Kenya could not do anything about this.
With Kenya’s KOG, the speed to close the distance was not enough.
Just trying to close the distance would end with him being turned into a honeycomb.
He was somehow enduring by dodging while using the defeated KOGs as shields, but it was already a matter of time.
Each bullet was damaging Kenya’s KOG.
“Gu…damn…but”
He could no longer see Kaguya and the others.
He was too focused to know how much time he had bought, but it seemed that he had succeeded in letting them escape.
He had already bought enough time, so they should be able to escape now.
The encirclement had been broken.
“Good… I fulfilled my role.”
Kenya relaxed.
And then, he was hit by a bullet and the KOG stopped functioning.
He slowly fell to the ground.
“It stopped… did we finally do it!”
Kenya’s unit had finally stopped due to long-range gunfire.
It stopped due to energy leakage caused by the destruction of the energy tank.
“So, this is the end… reality isn’t like a game.”
Then, Kenya took out something he had received from Isshin, which he had placed on the floor.
It was black, heavy, and solid, and could easily take a person’s life with just a little force.
It was a Suicide Pistol.
There was only one bullet, and Kenya stared at the gun.
He remembered Kaguya’s crying face.
He regretted not being able to make her smile.
If there was a next time, he wanted to spoil that tsundere princess rotten and make her smile.
He wanted to be all lovey-dovey with her.
He wanted to go on dates, and even do naughty things…
“Heh, she must be very cute…”
He chuckled dryly, laughing at his delusions.
He put the muzzle to his head and closed his eyes.
He put his finger on the trigger and applied pressure.
“Sorry, Kaguya… please, live.”
