The old room with its musty smell suddenly became a mess.

Countless bullets poured into the room, shards of glass from broken windows, pierced walls, dust, and wood chips from furniture were scattered everywhere.

While I was pinned down under Veronica, I felt the power of the bullets that were fired continuously to kill us.

Soon the gunfire stopped, and the sounds of people being shot screaming or crying in pain could be heard everywhere.

“Rebecca, are you okay?”

Veronica was worried about my well-being even as I was bleeding profusely from having my ear torn by sharp fragments.

Fortunately, I was safe, but I was angry because my sister was injured to the point where blood was dripping down my face.

I don’t know what kind of bastards they were, but I wanted to catch them and kill them all.

So I opened the map window and first figured out the identity of those who attacked us.

The names of bright red enemies appeared around us, and I put all of those abominable names into my head.

Afterwards, I checked the situation of Laura and Iris, and fortunately, they were staying inside the special store without any problems.

“Rebecca?”

“Enemies are currently surrounding the building we are in. Do you have a weapon?”

“Yes, I always carry a magic pistol.”

“First of all, I will give you a magic rifle, so you can use that too.”

I took out the magic rifle and a bandolier loaded with ammunition from my bag and handed them over to Veronica.

My sister didn’t even have time to become interested in the capabilities of my bag, and immediately loaded bullets after checking the condition of the gun.

Meanwhile, I was looking at the map window to check the movements of the enemies. Some were constantly watching the room we were in, and some were trying to enter the building or had already entered and were searching the first floor.

“Sister, the enemies will soon come up to the second floor.”

“Rebecca, I don’t know how you know the enemy’s movements, but I will trust you and follow you.”

“Yes. Just leave it to me.”

Although I spoke with confidence, I am not sure if I will be able to escape safely with my sister.

How good would it have been if there had been magic armor in times like this?

But there is no point in blaming something that isn’t there right now.

We crouched down, carefully opened the door to make as little noise as possible, went out, hid behind a cabinet in the hallway, and waited for the enemies.

Since there is only one exit, you must first kill the enemies that enter the building to clear the way.

The map window showed enemies coming up the stairs, and soon six of them came up the second floor hallway.

I signaled to my sister that the enemies had arrived with hand gestures, and we adjusted the timing together by extending three fingers and then folding them one by one.

‘Now!’

We slightly stuck our upper bodies out of the cabinet, and I fired my magic shotgun and my sister fired her magic rifle at the enemies entering the hallway.

First, the enemy hit by the magic bullet I fired had his stomach exploded and his internal organs torn out, and the strong stopping power pushed other enemies behind him away.

And Veronica neatly blew off the heads of the enemies who tried to respond from behind.

All the enemies were killed in an instant, and a commotion was heard from downstairs.

Through the map window, I saw that they had not come up to the second floor but were waiting for us on the first floor, and I moved to a place where the guys who had shot the room could shoot the cabinet where we were hiding.

“Sister, run!”

I held my sister’s hand and ran toward the end of the hallway where dead bodies were piled up.

And then a huge amount of bullets rained down behind us again.

I heard someone screaming and the sound of the person’s body rolling on the floor.

“Gasp, gasp! Fuck! I thought I was going to die.”

“Rebecca, are you foul-mouthed more than I thought?”

“Sister, is that important now?”

“Don’t worry. We’ll get out alive.”

I was on the verge of laughing at Veronica’s overly positive attitude.

Sister, I thought you still wore magic armor because you always wore it, but it’s just clothes?

“There are 13 people on the first floor. They set up a barricade or something and are waiting for us.”

“They seem to be quite skilled. If you see that they don’t push it with numbers and just move on to the next step.”

“Really? Then it will be difficult to get out alive?”

“Even if I risk my life, I will definitely let you live.”

“I really hate my sister dying. Let’s definitely go back together.”

“Okay. I promise.”

Even during this time, Veronica is stroking my head.

My sister’s leisure seemed absurd, but I was also jealous at the same time.

“Rebecca, how many enemies can shoot the second floor?”

“5 people.”

“The first floor looks like it will become a beehive as soon as we go down, so let’s take out all the guys above with a diversionary operation and escape through the window.”

“Okay. I will shoot smoke bombs in the next room to keep the enemies in check, so kill them all in the room we were in.”

“Good idea. After eliminating the enemies, immediately jump out of the window before they notice you on the first floor and come up. You can do it, right?”

“Yes. This height is no problem.”

“Okay, let’s move right away. Before that, I’ll have to keep some checks in mind.”

Veronica pulled out her magic pistol, put her hand out at the bottom of the stairs, and fired at random.

Then, the enemies on the first floor rained bullets, and we took advantage of the gap and moved according to the plan.

I went into the next room and fired a smoke bomb with a magic pistol at the enemies who were aiming at the bar from the rooftop of the two-story building across from me.

Then, while the enemies were confused, they fired guns towards the room I was in.

Fortunately, it wasn’t an aimed shot, so the bullets randomly hit the room, but because there were fire bullets mixed in, the room eventually caught fire.

I thought I was going to suffocate to death, but soon I heard the enemies screaming and falling or falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Veronica seems to have dealt with the enemies neatly.

“Rebecca! Now!”

As soon as I heard Veronica’s cry, I immediately jumped out the window that was full of flames.

When I landed on the floor, I fell awkwardly and my whole body hurt, but I’m glad I didn’t hurt my leg.

“Wake up quickly!”

Veronica grabbed my hand, jumped me up, and together we ran frantically towards the alley in front of us.

The sound of an angry voice chasing us from behind woke me up even more, and I looked through the map window to see how the enemies were tracking.

Oh, really! It’s very inconvenient because the map window covers more than half of the field of view.

There is a compelling reason why the mini-map function is needed.

huh? There is an enemy ahead!

“Sister, this way!”

I quickly grabbed Veronica’s arm and went into the alley on the right, shooting a smoke bomb on the floor.

The enemies who tried to surround us scattered in all directions while shouting in anger and pursued us furiously.

My sister and I hid behind another alley and waited for the enemies to pass by, then ran to the place where they had not deployed any troops.

However, the number of enemies continued to increase and they seemed to be searching the entire old city to find us.

What kind of high-ranking person is targeting us that could release so many troops into a city controlled by the Templars?

“Sister, you’re surrounded.”

“Where is the place with the fewest enemies?”

“That’s… this way.”

“Then let’s break through there.”

I took my sister and ran to the alley where four enemies were approaching.

The enemies shot us as soon as they saw us, but we did the same and were a little faster.

My ears hurt when I heard a loud gunshot in an alley that was blocked on both sides, but it was much better than the pain of having a gun hole in my body.

“Ugh!”

“Sister?”

I was startled by Veronica’s moaning and turned around to see a lot of blood flowing from her left thigh.

Fuck! It’s crazy, really! Are you fucking bastards hurting your sister?

I cursed under my breath, but without any time to vent my anger, I took out a bandage and a stick from my bag.

Then, the upper part of the gunshot wound was wrapped tightly with a bandage, a stick was inserted and turned, and pressure was applied to prevent blood from flowing to the leg as much as possible.

After that, I wrapped the gunshot wound with a bandage to prevent the blood from coming out.

The first aid measures I learned from Laura were really useful.

Instead of stopping the bleeding, I sprinkled the healing potion I received at the temple on my sister’s wounds and fed her the medicine myself.

“Thank you…”

“Let’s say hello later. Let’s get out of here quickly.”

I used all my strength to put my sister on my back and run towards a safe place.

The safe place I think is the new city, close to the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

It’s not that the Knights patrol less frequently in the old town, but looking at the current situation, it’s clear that the Knights withdrew their troops from the old town for some reason.

Therefore, if the knights get close enough to ignore them, they will be able to receive help somehow.

While keeping an eye on the map window, I figured out the enemies blocking our path in advance and fired a wind-blast bullet at them with my magic pistol.

The wind pressure bullets neutralized the enemy with maximum effect in the narrow alley, and I quickly left the area before they came to their senses.

Although it was close, the game of tag where I clearly had the slight advantage continued, and I could feel the number of enemies chasing us gradually decreasing.

I exited onto the main road leading from the old town to the new town, praying that it wasn’t just my mood.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people around, so the enemies couldn’t fire guns at random, but strangely, there were no Knights soldiers in sight.

There is definitely something going on with the Knights.

I feel cold sweat running down my back at the thought that a powerful person who can immobilize the entire knighthood of one territory is targeting me.

But right now, it is much more important to get Veronica to a safe place and treat her wounds.

It’s like I’m responsible for Veronica’s life.

If I make a mistake or get caught, Veronica will most definitely die from excessive bleeding.

‘I’m so glad I can tell the enemy from all these people.’

I quickly made my way through the crowd, carrying Veronica on my back, who was breathing increasingly hard and getting cold.

The crowd not only blocked the enemies’ attacks, but also slowed down my movement, making it easier for the enemies to pursue me.

So, while competing with the enemies, I finally arrived at a place not far from the special store.

The problem is that from here on, there are almost no people, so the enemies will feel free to shoot.

‘Let’s use a smoke bomb.’

I used the smoke bomb again and ran as fast as I could, leaving the confused crowd behind.

I heard a gunshot behind me, and with the terrifying feeling of a bullet passing by my ear, I prayed that the bullet would not hit Veronica’s back.

“Laura! Iris!”

I quickly called out the names of my loves.

Then the door to the special store burst open and two people holding magic pistols appeared.

Iris used the Mystic Eyes to kill the enemies chasing us by aiming and firing accurately, regardless of the smoke, and Laura pulled out her dagger and went into the smoke and slaughtered the enemies, spraying blood everywhere.

It was my first time seeing Laura run wild like that, but I found her very trustworthy.

After a while, the enemies’ screams completely stopped and Iris stopped shooting.

And through the smoke that had begun to clear, Laura was seen, her entire body covered in blood, stabbing an already dead enemy without mercy.

“Iris, please take care of your sister. I’ll bring Laura.”

I left Veronica in the care of Iris and ran straight to Laura.

Laura was stabbing the corpse again and again, screaming almost like a crazy person.

I couldn’t stand to see that happen, so I pulled Laura from behind, but she kept breaking out of my arms and trying to stab the corpse.

“Calm down! I’m safe, so please stop!”

“But, but! These bastards love Rebecca!”

“Laura! I’m fine!”

When I shouted firmly, Laura understood what I was saying and stopped making a fuss.

Laura looked at me with trembling eyes, breathing harder than me as she sprinted, and then hugged me tightly and started crying.

He must have thought he almost lost me.

For Laura, who was extremely afraid of experiencing another loss, this was something that would make her go crazy.

But for me, seeing it like that was truly heartbreaking.

“It’s okay, I’m here. So just calm down.”

I cut Laura’s back to calm her down, and while doing so, I looked at the map window to check the enemy’s movements.

The enemies had not yet withdrawn and were approaching towards us.

“Laura, it’s dangerous, so let’s go inside first.”

I took Laura, who was still crying, into the special store, hid inside, and hoped that the enemies would pass by.

However, even when the enemies came right in front of the special store, they were completely confused and went somewhere else.

I don’t know why, but I survived anyway.
