Chapter6: First clash( Updated version)
"Get ready guys, we will be landing soon. Grab your weapons and all the necessary equipment we need, then meet me at the back of the spacecraft," Bhim instructed.
"Understood, sir," the team responded, gathering their gear and convening at the back of the spacecraft.
"I hope everyone has everything they need for this mission. If not, take care of it now, as I won't tolerate any mistakes," Bhim warned, surveying the team.
Once everyone confirmed they had everything they needed, Bhim addressed them once more. "Alright, get ready, we're about to land."
Jason picked up his handgun and positioned his swords behind his back. The rest of the team also readied their weapons as they prepared to disembark.
After a few minutes, the spacecraft landed on the planet. As the back of the spacecraft opened, the barren, red landscape came into view.
Jason and his team took their first steps on the planet, starting their mission.
"Mark, open the map on your watch and navigate us to the safest path you can find," Bhim ordered Mark, the only psychic on the team.
"Yes, Captain," Mark acknowledged, beginning to search for the safest path to the signal location.
As Mark searched, Jason surveyed his surroundings, aware it would take some time to locate the signal as they did not have its exact location.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire drew Jason's attention towards his team. "Get ready, there's a horde of red crawlers coming towards us," Mark warned them.
I picked up my sniper rifle, ready to fire but waited for further instructions.
"I'll handle this, Jason. Jerry, cover me. The rest of you conserve your energy and only use it when necessary," Bhim ordered. "Until I return, Jason will be in charge."
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Bhim headed towards the horde, while Jerry and i moved towards a hill where they could see the monster horde and their captain.
I instructed the rest of the team to stay behind but be ready to help if necessary.
I and Jerry prepared ourselves by circulating our mana to increase our power and senses. Jerry also circulated his mana through his specially modified sniper to increase its power and range.
I spotted Bhim clearly, which would have been impossible for a normal human. He also spotted the monster horde, which was much larger than he anticipated.
The horde consisted of more than 1,000 red crawlers, ranging in rank from 1 to 3. They couldn't find any rank 4 crawlers, which was unusual, as this type of horde was typically led by a rank 4.
I and Jerry searched for the leader of the horde and quickly spotted it, led by a rank 3 that was bigger and stronger than a rank 4.
At first, We mistook it for a rank 4, but upon closer inspection, We confirmed it was a rank 3 as it only had four sharp claws and a dim red-coloured mana crystal on its back.
I decided to inform the rest of the team, especially Bhim, who would be facing it directly.
"Let's leave it for now. I'll ask for help if I need it, but for now, kill all the suicidal crawlers before they get too close to me," Bhim replied via the nano-based radio.
"Copy that," I and Jerry responded in unison.
Suicidal crawlers were dangerous as they overloaded their mana, causing the crystal on their backs to shine before self-destructing, leading to devastating mana blasts.
These types of crawlers consist of old or disabled crawlers who commit mass suicide just because they are following the command of their leader and can't be of any use to their colony.
"I'll take care of the right, you go for the left," I commanded Jerry.
It was quite easy to identify a suicidal crawler as they had to overload their mana, causing the crystal on their back to shine.
I then ran the first set of mana-shooting art and started to shoot the suicidal crawlers on the right side of the first row one by one.
Jerry also followed my lead and started to shoot down the crawlers on the left side much faster and more accurately than me.
As I started to shoot down the crawlers, I noticed that it takes at least two or three shots to kill even a rank 1 crawler while shooting their vital body parts.
Noticing the unusual thing, I decided to ask Jerry about this, as it was quite unusual since usually, it takes only one shot to kill a rank 1 crawler, even if not hitting their vital parts.
"Hey Jerry, did you notice something?" I asked Jerry to know if it was only happening to me.
"Yeah, I already noticed it and then I shot a rank 2 crawler to see if it was only happening to rank 1 only, but you will get to know the result," Jerry said in a surprised tone.
"What happened?" I asked curiously.
"I shot all the vital organs while using the first set, but it didn't even scratch, and then I ran the second set. Even with that, I was only able to kill it while hitting it three times on its head," Jerry said in a worried manner.
Listening to that, my expression got tensed as I understood that whatever was causing the signal was behind the unusual power of the beasts.
It also made my theory prove that something big is going on and the department is hiding it from us, but why they are hiding nobody knows, I can only hope that it's not something which will cause more harm than better.
The department had a habit of keeping secrets but not like these ones where they can bet on something important, I will see about this in the future let's focus on what is in front of me.
"Ignore it for now. Run the third set and kill them quickly," I commanded Jerry, as this was not the right time to divert our minds to other things.
Jerry nodded his head in confirmation and started to shoot down the crawlers quickly using the third set.
I also started to shoot the crawlers, but I had to run the second set as I didn't master the third set, which was quite hard to master.
There were a total of five sets in the shooting art. The first set was the easiest of them all, and as the set increased, it got harder and harder to master the sets.
As a swordsman, my main focus was on swordsmanship, but still, I practiced the shooting art up to the second stage.
I knew that Jerry mastered the three sets of it, but I wasn't sure if he learned the fourth set as if it goes like this, the third set would not be enough to kill them.
"Bam!"
As I was thinking all of this in my mind, Jerry finally shot the first bullet while running the third set, which caused a loud noise beside me.
I got shocked as the power in the bullet was 5 or 6 times compared to the power while running the second set.
I then took my focus to the crawler, which got hit by the bullet, to see how much damage it caused.
