Chapter 34 (1/2)
”Deputy Director!”
Audrey opened the door of the roo the 100 secret alpha testers Inside, the Deputy Director of the 7th research center, Brian, and several staffa screen
”Heeey, Audrey A bit late, aren't you?” He cheerfully greeted
It had been a week since the beginning of the activation test of the militarized monster avatar mass-production models Fifty physically and mentally resilient soldiers of the Army were chosen to be the 'secret beta testers'
The new experiained fro evolution, were reiven theh for the testers to get acclimatized with the avatars if we infuse anyain, what if we need to use those things here…”
”Deputy Director Brian, why are youthe experi your fixation with the so-called 'bunny girl' made me curious too Man, I knew you were hired for a reason! Just as you expected, the bunny was after the ed to lured her out”
The secretary woirl with an uncanny similarity to No 13 Audrey had looked into the heist of No 17's ic stone, and had came to the same conclusion as the players So she connected herscreens and sent a watcher drone to observe the players who planned the event
And just as she thought, the rabbit beastht had broken out Yet suddenly, the experi everyone there, when they were supposed to be still in the middle of a test run far away frootta say, that world really is wide I never expected there could be a single lone beastht at that level Identifications returned soht like that, don't you think she'd reat performance test for the militarized monster avatars? They were made to kill people, after all”
”But shouldn't we be keeping them out of the players' eyes…?”
”Oh, it's not any different from the previous 'berserker' event Besides, that bunny stole the et No 08's Two out of our original three testers had dropped ic stones, so why didn't No 01…? No 13 was next to hiht? If, just as you said, that bunny truly had a connection to No 13, wouldn't that be so interesting?”
Since when did he know Audrey was looking into the rabbit? She thought she saw so, her own expression stiff
”Well then Let's see how ainst real soldiers in experimental models”
”What the hell are those monsters?!”
”Are they event monsters too?!”
”Everyone, calm down!”
”Total combat power is 1000?! And ten of them?!”
”Archers, keep them in check…”
”damn it, there are way too many of them!”
A carapace-spider dipped low, then sent its entire body weight into an upward sreatshi+eld-holder could take He went flying, despite his co 800 I didn't think that bit of difference in combat power could blow him off so easily, so it must be the mass difference And the spiders knew it too; the way they fought was centered around leveraging their weight
”[Shadow Bind]!”
”[Ice Lance]!”
An archer pinned down a spider, and a s But immediately, the other carapace-spiders moved forward to cover for it Their claws pierced an approaching warrior
The restrained spider opened up its crab-claws Froicians staying farther away
”Aaaaaagh!”
”You've gotta be kidding[Stone Bullet]?!”

Despite personal coher, they were stillsofrom the side I was already busy with five of the spiders
”Oof!”
I jue a doard claw, but another spider was already going around tomist as a smokescreen and jumped out of the encirclement

”…tsk”
The dagger tip chipped off Seee with that, at least, but not enough to slow it down any
I put some distance between us The spiders didn't continue their assault They si their net
I had around double their co to deal with their coordinated attacks… no That wasn't right They were playing witha moose Once their prey weakened, the alpha ould turn the hunt into a lesson for the other wolves And this fight was no different The spiders were just tore] [Greater Dees the northern seas A canny spiritual lifeforic Points: 1870/2060] [Total Combat Power: 2076/2266] [Unique Skill: <reroll> <cyber-round down At least their owndown, too, due to their attacks Still, if Isaac's group went down, the spiders over there would cohts I didn't have the leeway to come help them, but I still needed them to survive until I've killed at least a few spiders
