“Eh? Gin you Sarru? Then, at that time, that attacked us. Are you–”
“Emir, relax,” I tried to calm the Emir. “Listen to Mulisu's words carefully. The one who attacked you back then was a fake Kinum. He never attacked you, and I never gave the order to do it.”
The face of the Emir is sour. Apparently, he still had trouble believing my words.
I stuck a spear into the ground and walked towards the Emir.
“Trust. Mulisu is my partner, I will not attack you. You know that, right?”
I rubbed the Emir's head gently, continuing to try to calm him down. I saw, slowly, the clenched Emir's hands begin to limp. He also let go of his horses.
“Alright then. I trust you, Gin.”
“Thank you,”
While the Emir softened, Inanna instead looked at all of us with sparkling eyes.
“I didn't think I was Sarru's legendary future wife. Does this mean I will be a member of Agade as well?”
Okay, this woman's head is not normal.
On the other hand, “Emir, right now, I can only explain that I am Sarru, the leader of Agade. What are you–“
Suddenly the Emir hugged my body tightly, “Before, I had no idea who you really were. But I prepared myself for the worst. I love you, Gin. If Sarru is Lugalgin, then I will love him too.”
Okay, I admit defeat.
"Right now, that's the only explanation I can give. Because, apparently," I didn't finish the sentence, looking around. I switched the conversation to my friends. "You want me to test them before you give any further explanation or introduce them to you, right?"
"You think?" Let's answer me with a sharp tone.
If people first met Mari, they would definitely think she was sniffy. But, that's just the tone. Actually, no.
Umma added. "It's obvious why we don't have chairs."
"If it takes too long, pity Ibla." Yarmuti still teases Ibla.
"Hehe, yes, that's it." Ninmar concluded, which actually does not really give a conclusion.
The girl group answered me quickly. On the other hand, the guys just laughed.
"Is there anything you want to add? Hey guys?"
"What is an order?" Ur asked back.
"No, I'm just asking."
"Then, can you not ask for it too suddenly? I have another agenda."
Ur, if you want to comment, don't ask if it's a command or not.
"Well, Ur, you're just playing Frontliners, right?" Elam.
"Then why? There is an important event now! You want me to pay my cell phone bill just for the internet? Then what's the point of me paying wi-fi bills in the apartment?"
"Ur, if you want, here you hold my phone for wi-fi. All of you drop while I test them."
I threw a touchscreen phone out of my pocket.
Ur received the phone I threw and his face sparkled. After receiving the phone, he immediately pulled out his phone and focused on the game.
"Simurrum, Urua'a, what about you?"
"Ah, no, we have no comment."
"Yes, we have no comment. We're not envious because you can get two beautiful future wives while we still can't afford a single lover."
Ung, if you want to find a lover, how about you change the way you dress? How many times have I told you your clothes were, indirectly, driving girls away. Even a black market girl would not be willing to go with a guy who looks like a little prankster class street.
"Iblah?" I asked Ibla.
"I'm just a time keeper."
"So, in conclusion, just start?" The story ends our little conversation.
"Yes, okay. Emir, can you please let go of your embrace?”
“Ung..”
The Emir nodded and let me go.
“Mulisu, where's my shotgun? In the closet there is only this spear. I didn't see it."
"It's..."
From the ground, a large centipede appeared. The centipede was made of dozens of blades connected by steel wire. On top of it, there is a shotgun that is shaded. I also took the shotgun. It's been a long time since I've held this type of weapon, an 18-inch lever-action shotgun.
I was silent for a moment. Mulisu, do you have to bring up this centipede? Can't you give this shotgun the normal way?
However, I was a little surprised when I saw the Emir's reaction. The Emir was speechless, both feet trembling. Maybe Mulisu wants to show Emir that he is indeed Kinum.
"As usual, for the test only 5 rubber bullets." Mulisu gave an explanation
"Okay, thank you," I responded.
Mulisu walked towards Emir and Inanna while I tied a long bag containing shotgun on the shoulder, transverse from the left shoulder to the right waist.
When Mulisu approached, dressed in Kinum's clothes, I could see the Emir was about to, will, step back. However, he was able to restrain himself and wait for Mulisu.
"So, here's the rules of the game" Mulisu explained. "This is a test for you to become members of the Elite Agade. You will run backwards, go into the mountains and the forest. You cannot go more than 1 Km. You will meet the fence at a distance of 1 km.
“After a minute has passed, Lugalgin will chase you. Your goal is simple, hold on as long as possible. If you have been hit by a bullet or stabbed or found a Lugalgin spear in front of a vital organ, then the test is considered complete.
"We don't limit the ways you have to extend your time. Want you guys to run away, hide, or fight Lugalgin, whatever, what matters is no more than 1 Km. And, if you attack Lugalgin, do so with killing intent. Don't worry, he won't die."
Oi! You're kidding, aren't you? I could still be dead. And again, if it was a long-range attack, the two women were monsters. They could kill me.
"Until now, the fastest time is held by Ibla, which is 5 minutes 28 seconds."
"And the longest time is held by Mulisu with a time of 1 hour 57 minutes 11 seconds." I added Mulisu's remark.
I was already standing beside Mulisu, looking towards Emir and Inanna.
Inanna nodded. "Sorry, can I ask you."
"If the question is about this test, I will answer it" Mulisu responded.
"Whose name is Simurrum?"
Inanna asked. For some reason, it seems, he was so excited.
"Simurrum is this red-haired man," Yarmuti answered quickly while pointing at the figure beside him with a thumb. "Simurrum time is 30 minutes 21 seconds. I think maybe you're at 30 or 29. If you try, maybe you can get the number 31 minutes. For reference, Simurrum is the type of person who hits and runs. Well, most of us use hit and run anyway when undergoing this test."
"Eh? Yarmuti, do you think this black haired woman has the potential to defeat me? Nah! Before that, in fact, you said he was better than you and Uru'a?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
Yarmuti's tone sounded heavy while Simurrum was light.
"Thank you, Yarmuti."
"Yes, you're welcome." Yarmuti responds lightly to Inanna.
On the other hand, the Emir said nothing.
"Emir?"
The emir did not respond. His eyes were still attached to Mulisu, who was looking at Inanna. This isn't good. Apparently, his trauma when facing the fake Kinum appeared. Perhaps he thought that the fake alone could bring out such great terror, what about the real one? Might as well.
I put both hands on the Emir's cheeks and looked him in the eyes.
"Emir!"
"Eh?"
"If you're afraid, it's okay, I won't put me–"
"Gin," Emir interrupted. He returned my gaze. "If I take this test, I'll know everything about you?"
"Yes, I. no," I corrected my words. "We'll all say it."
"Then, I'll take this test."
The Emir said all of that after getting confirmation.
I wonder, if I say no, will he still take this test? Well, there's no point in thinking about what didn't happen.
I took my hand off the Emir's cheek and took a few steps back. The Emir draws and exhales.
"Ah, I forgot to say." Mulisu gave an explanation. "When Lugalgin started chasing, he would continue to emit a bloodthirsty aura and killing intent. Think of this as a handicap for him. If he hadn't done it, you wouldn't have known Lugalgin's whereabouts and by the time you came to your senses, BOO, he was already behind you. Moreover, this is also a test of whether you can withstand the bloodlust and killing intent that Lugalgin emits."
Although I wanted to shout "you think I'm a ghost?", I didn't say. I mean, come on, I'm an incompetent. Can't I hit an opponent from the front? It's the same as me trying to die, right? The best way for me is to sneak in and attack from their blind spot.
"Emir, I'm sorry, I don't mean insulting, but it's a fact." Mulisu saw the Emir. "Because you're weaker, so you'll have this test first. IBL!"
"Yes!"
Ibla pulled out the phone from his pocket. He was in charge of keeping track of time.
"Emir, please prepare."
"Good!"
The Emir replied with a shout. Now, he doesn't look shaky anymore. His sight returned sharply. Yes, the Emir with this sharp view is the usual Emir.
"Start!"
Several explosions instantly appeared on one of the walls. Within a short time, the Emir had already punched a wall with a turret tank and escaped, entering the forest.
"I thought he'd ask me how to go." Mulisu gave a response. "Elam, what do you think? Remember you also blew up this wall when you took this test?"
"In raw power and controlling power, he's special. He was able to turn four turrets into armor, hand protection, and leg protection, in a very short time. At the same time, he fired four shots from the four remaining turrets. Everything was done in less than two seconds."
Elam explains the analysis he got from the first action of the Emir.
"But, this test does not rely only on controlling power and raw power," Ur, who looks at the phone's screen, added. "What matters is how he keeps his distance from Lugalgin indefinitely. If we only talk about ranking based on those two things, Umma will be at the top. But, actually not! After Mulisu, I'm the one at the top."
"God!" Umma. "Our time is not up to 2 minutes."
"And how many times have you taken this test but still haven't been able to catch up to those two minutes?"
"Uuh......"
Umm, the red-brown haired woman, is unable to resist. It's like seeing a teenager being bullied by an elementary school kid. Very amusing. In fact, their age is the same.
"Lugalgin, it's been almost 1 minute."
"Good."
I confirmed Ibla and pulled the spear that stuck on the ground. I started walking to the wall.
"Ready? Get started!"
Blar blar blar
Explosion after explosion appeared in the hole and outside the wall. All the explosions did not appear simultaneously, but alternated. Apparently, the Emir is trying to stop my movement.
"Wow, quite creative as well as the woman," Let's make a comment in a sharp tone. "In addition, his attacks were extremely accurate. He could fire a shot out of nowhere but not a single explosion was inside the wall."
"What will Lugalgin do? Will he just wait, wait for this bombardment to stop, or break through? We're looking forward, viewers."
Ninmar, you think you're a commentator? And, you think this is a football match?
I took a breath for a moment. With just one breath, I exuded all bloodthirsty killing intent. In that moment, the explosions stopped. I ran straight away, heading into the forest. I don't want to waste this opportunity.
***
Emirs POV
This, was this bloodthirsty and Lugalgin's killing intent? These feelings and terror really could not compare to that fake Kinum. In fact, I've been doing mental training to deal with the killing aura. However, eventually, I still had to slash the left index finger to stay sober.
Damn, I was at the end of the arena. In front of me, a one-meter-high wire fence stood. So, at least, I was already 1 kilometer away from that building. However, right now, I feel that this distance I made is completely useless. As if, Lugalgin could appear at any time.
I briefly stopped the bombardment when Lugalgin was emitting an aura. At that time, Lugalgin must have left the building.
While thinking, I still released bombardments to the source of this killing aura. However, as Mulisu said, it seemed that Lugalgin would not be killed just because of this. It's not that I want to kill Lugalgin, but, the source of this killing aura keeps moving, avoiding the bombardment. As if, Lugalgin already knew where I was going to open fire.
I stopped the bombardment and turned four tank turrets into one big slingshot. With a slight change in chemical bonds and atomic structure, I was able to turn some of the silicon into hard and in other parts pliable.
I threw my body into the slingshot, threw myself. Of course I didn't leave Krat. As soon as I catapulted, I turned Krat into a shawl.
The catapult can throw me up to 200 meters. Before I landed, I turned Krat into a trampoline, making me bounce constantly.
Although I can't go further than 1 kilometer, at least I have to keep moving.
It had been more than three minutes since Lugalgin started chasing. I don't know how, but it looks like Lugalgin's still moving. How could he keep running for three minutes without stopping? Is he not exhausted?
I'm tired, I want to stop and take a breath. Changing the chemical bonds and atomic structure of Krat depletes stamina. Plus, the air pressure generated by the bloodthirsty aura and killing Lugalgin was so great, making my breath shorter. However, I did not dare to rest. I'm afraid Lugalgin's after me.
However, I am, tired. I'll stop for a second on the tree, a few seconds.
"Well... huh....."
No matter where I went, the source of Lugalgin's killing aura was always approaching, as if, he knew where I was going.
My breaths wheezing. Even the sweat was flowing. But I have to go again.
"Eh?"
I'm sloppy, my legs tucked away. I made my body float in the Air and return to the tree. If it wasn't for Krat, I would have fallen from a tree.
Dorian
I looked down when I heard the gunshot.
Lho? Since when has Lugalgin been this close? I could feel the bloodthirsty aura and Lugalgin's killing intent imminent. It seemed, that short moment of almost falling caught me off guard.
Right now, I don't know where Lugalgin is. Apparently, after being at a certain distance, I will not be able to know the exact location of Lugalgin. I just know he's close. Lugalgin's bloodthirsty aura and killing intent put too much pressure on him.
I apply sweat to the wound on the left index finger. Although it was painful, but this was the only way to keep me sober. I mustn't faint because of Lugalgin's aura.
Duggs
The tree I was standing on suddenly shook strongly, like it was kicked. I was scared, and worried, but I forced myself to look down. Below, there is a figure of Lugalgin directing the shotgun towards me.
Dorian
I jumped right away, dodging Lugalgin's shot. Lugalgin's already used two of the five bullets. If I'm lucky, maybe Lugalgin's gonna run out of bullets.
I ran from tree to tree. Every now and then, I look back. Lugalgin used a spear to move from tree to tree. He jumped, then used his spear like a pole jump.
So that's how Lugalgin can move so fast. However, this did not explain his crazy stamina.
Dorian
I stopped when Lugalgin opened fire, saw a bullet pass before his eyes. If it didn't stop, the bullet would have landed on my body.
Meanwhile, Lugalgin was getting closer.
What am I supposed to do? Am I going to face Lugalgin in a close combat? No. gabe. I'm not sure I can keep up with Lugalgin in close combat. Then then.
I turned all the Krat into turrets and sent them into the sky. The eight turrets opened fire in turn. I did not open fire at Lugalgin, but a few meters ahead, making a blast wall between me and Lugalgin.
So, Lugalgin, what are you going to do?
I saw Lugalgin take a candybar phone out of his pants pocket. How many cell phones do you have, Gin?
For some reason, Lugalgin smiled. He pointed his gun forward.
Eh? Does Lugalgin intend to open fire? Passing through this bombardment? Can he do it?
Dorian

\============================================================
This chapter was uploaded Saturday afternoon.
As always, thank you for all the support, likes and comments of his supporters.
Apparently, there are some comments that the author can respond to. So, next, to the comment response session
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Lugalgin's identity as Sarru. It seems to give its own surprise. The author was also surprised (Lho?). Ahaha, kidding. No, of course not. Lugalgin's identity as Sarru actually could have been predicted from the beginning. Quite a lot of foreshadowing about this. Then, for Agade, what black market organization is Agade? Look forward to the next chapter.
Later, the name Sarru. For those from Java, must be amazed. For the wibu or otaku, also must be amazed. In Javanese, Sarru means porn brain. In Japanese, Sarru is identical to the monkey, Oda Nobunaga's subordinate, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Unfortunately no.
Sarru's name is taken from another story. For the history maniac, or game, may have found a connection between the names of Lugalgin, Sarru, Kinum, Agade, and also the names of each member of the elite. But keep in mind, the name is just a reference. Does the story of Lugalgin follow that story? Oh, obviously.....no! wkwkwkwk.
A name is just a name, it does not define a person's story.
Then, the matter of having a recessive gene, well, just look forward to it. wkwkwk.
Nan, this is a little thing that had stuck out in some groups and other writings, namely the promotion of titles in the comments column of other novels. Honestly, among writers, this kind of promotion is considered unethical. This is not only the case in I am No King. Several other posts also received similar promotional comments. And, as it turns out, the admin of mangatoon also stated that this kind of action is prohibited. Users who do this can end up in tires.
The trouble again was, the promoted title already had a high place. If the promotion in the novel is level I am No King, it even feels you lower the standard of the title. In addition, indirectly, you tarnish the author's good name. If you really care about the author, it is better not to promote in the comment field of other titles.
The author also requested that the I am No King reader not do this. Although it feels less likely, considering I am No King is only a middle-class novel down to :P.
The author does not reply the promotional comment does not mean the author does not mind. Only, style author is responding to comments in post notes, as the author had previously stated and approved also by the reader. So, through this post note the author gives a response.
If it still happens, what happens is that the user who is promoting in the comment field of another title is indeed a double agent, wants to tarnish the author's good name.
Well, the author will not discuss further because it seems that the admin of mangatoon himself will intervene.
And, yes, the author is aware that the comment response in this post note has a risk of being attacked.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, post a note about certita. In this chapter, the viewpoint uses Emir. Going forward, the change of viewpoint will happen more often. So, as such, the story will have variations.
The game frontliners. Who plays the game, know what this reference is. The author will not mention any further. If you check ig, you can know the reference game that the author means.
Then, the author wants to thank you for the likes, comments, and support of the readers. All of this support means a lot to Author.
And, as always, the author wants to do the endorsement. Currently, the illustrator whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv, ⁇ or QYS3 illustrator. So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. Because it is not the result of a commission, but public content, the author also does not spend money.
So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image even though it has actually become public content. So, readers can open the pixiv page and like gallery in https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 or follow his twitter in https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also.
In addition to QYS3, the author has also obtained an eye souvenir from pokarii that can be posted at the end of the story. Once again, thank you to all the readers who have liked and commented. Your support means a lot to the author.
See you in the next chapter
