Online Cluster: Great Tomb
Chapter 17.7: When You Injured Drouga, That's where Your Teachings Arrived
(Catuk \= Sema, Amou \= Faisal)
Sitting while looking at the condition of the gantolle* that is in the inventory, this gantolle is designed so that when used will directly stick to the shape of the body and this blueprint is made from a craftsman in Sector 84.
(*Hanging kites, sports that use tools such as large kites to float on the wind)
In front of me right now was a red egg whose entire skin had been cracked and was just waiting for the appearance of the little dragon, between my hands are two knives that I rarely use because with my fist it is enough to fight other players.
The gloves I used were forged using the giant ant shells of our previous missions, the craftsman who made these gloves was really proud, parts from the wrist to the elbow are protected by the shell material and can even withstand a rifle with a caliber of 7.62mm.
In other words, I only have to close both my hands if fired at by firearms in a row, this shell has been smoothed and strengthened as much as possible to fit the defensive conditions and attack in a long enough span of time.
When I focused on the condition of my things, there was a stomach sound that was quite disturbing and when my eyes focused forward there was a small and tiny dragon child even quite cute. He slowly came out of the empty shell, his body was red in color and he was able to give off heat in some conditions.
Amou came to this hatching place of red eggs and brought food and meat that had been burned, took my share and placed it right in front of this little red dragon that was circling around. When he smelled the smell of grilled meat, he slowly licked it and ate it little by little.
“Amou, do you have any suggestions to name this little dragon?” (Cats)
“Hah? It was better to ask Reiga, if deciding unilaterally wasn't it unfair? And this little dragon will be dangerous when it comes to adulthood.” (Amou)
“So yes .. alright.” (Cats)
Pointing at the little red dragon licking its legs, the little dragon now licks the index finger of my right hand and the haw is not too hot.
“From now on you've called peace on Drouga. Ah, wait a minute ... “ (Catuk)
Lifting this little red dragon and weighing about nine kilos, look at the lower half of its body and look a small bulge, yes this dragon is a male. He dropped it again but the dragon pulled my pants, when I lifted it up again he let out a small fire and I tried to throw it up but the little dragon fell down without being able to move its wings.
This little dragon had just come out of its shell and needed enough time to be able to adapt, for two hours now it was special to accompany this red little dragon and hand over the aftermath to Amou.
***
Two days later, the development of this dragon was quite satisfactory. This little red dragon can move its wings but cannot yet be used to fly, eating raw meat is enough he likes and for other nutrients just drink it fresh water.
Invited him to run to and fro, threw him up several times until he was used to flapping his wings, but he was still not used to it.
“Drouga, get here ..” (Cats)
With a movement of my right hand that hinted for the little red dragon to come closer. He responded by coming up to me and licking my right hand, rolling around and then closing his wings and sleeping. The development conditions are quite smooth, with a method like this this little red dragon will further develop if it can trigger its condition.
There are two hundred and forty reports coming into my account, three days have passed and the players from Sector 80 to 90 who are chasing the bounty made by me have finished. With one tap, my money was reduced a lot and the clan that was targeted was completely destroyed making its members completely kapok and break from Cluster Online because every time their respawn was immediately killed.
The next day ...
Using the services of an aircraft carrier to be able to do freefall activities in Sector 3, now on the inside of the transport ship and there was only Drouga who had pocketed on my stomach using a comfortable and fire-resistant material. Wearing a gantolle from inside my inventory in a closed position, the rear tail gate of the carrier was opened.
“Alright, we start, Drouga!” (Cats)
Drouga responded to me with a small burst of fire breathing, with this condition wearing glasses for freefall that serves to withstand the pressure of the wind when plunging. Druga spread her wings and she let out various sounds, she looked happy because this was her first experience in flying so that the condition of her wings triggered the development that made her accustomed to it.
When the height was reduced enough, the gantolle frame on my back opened and now we drifted to various places with Drouga stretching his wings. Taking care of it makes for a fun experience for me, I don't know what program can create this dragon but taking care of it and making it a better and safer monster seems to have been my duty.
“Only landed!” (Cats)
***
The next two days ...
Standing with a focused gaze on one player, he was training Drouga who could now fly low even though he rested his wings a few times, his development was too fast and now his total body weight reached twelve kilos. Its size is slightly larger than the size when it comes out of the shell, its habitat as well as sufficient nutrients make its development stable.
“Amou, you take care of this week, I have business at my job.” (Cats)
“Alright, in this week Drouga will be even greater than now.” (Amou)
“Ya, will I wait.” (Amou)
Before exiting the game, I visited the clan headquarters in Sector 51 and entered the headquarters, where there were Shah, Dawn, Dimas, Zia, and others gathered at the meeting place.
“Watuk? From anywhere? How did the red egg develop?” (Fajar)
Fajar asked as he watched me walk into this place, sit on the sofa and take a breath to answer a question from him. It was seen that the state of this place had not changed, it seemed like no problem had occurred when I left.
“Aman, take it easy .. The red egg hatches and becomes a small red dragon, male and growth is stable. Amou is taking care of it now. What about you guys?” (Cats)
When I questioned them, I realized it was almost time to work with the shift system. Without saying anything, I quit the game at this place even though I have not heard the answer to my question. Removing the equipment attached to my body, the condition of the body in the real world is the same as the avatar as in the game.
Drowning in the game has its limits, although fed up with the real world then it does not mean everything is over. Getting out of bed and getting ready to wear my uniform, my real-world job is riskier.
***
In recent days I can not play Cluster Online, after going home to work then train my body then rest without taking the time to play the game. This is what makes my condition in the real world and avatars in the game have high combat ability, this system benefits players especially those who are former veterans of the real world.
As I entered the game, it opened my eyes and this place was the meeting place when I intended to ask something. My account has a lot of notifications, most of which were messages from Amou a day ago and there were dozens of the same messages.
“SOS, shit ... this time who else is after ..” (Cats)
There is a message containing a map, the location is in Sector 42 and has a tropical climate, this place is the same as a city in Southeast Asia that is developing. By hurrying while carrying the items I need, go to the Sector and see the expanse of grassland and the location on the map is in front there covered by the front of the forest.
With a notification coming in, Amou sends a message that he has just entered the game and he is attacked by a group of other players. It was rumored that the little red dragon was kidnapped and would be sold at a high price to the big clan that hired me earlier. After investigating a little, a group of players who kidnapped Drouga are delinquents with a clan of eight members exploring Sector 88 and they see Amou playing with Drouga so they immediately kill him and take Drouga.
Walk through the trees, minimize friction and the sound of footsteps because there are some small traps such as bear traps that are disguised using piles of dry leaves and rope traps tied to sharp objects so that the body will be hit by sharp iron.
Amou entered this Sector, he supported me from behind using a LuckyPro70-owned drone borrowed by him and had been armed using a small dual minigun. With the camera attached to the drone, Amou informed me that there was an abandoned building in front of him and two men standing guard below and two men standing guard over the building.
The traps in this place were not all destroyed, while taking my WA2000 from a distance saw four players standing guard in front with full armament and wearing a vest. One shot shot shot towards one of the players standing guard above, the remaining three panicked and immediately took cover from behind the thick wall.
Reinserting my WA2000, running with two hands in front of me and then from behind the dark shadow of the tree crashing forward and two automatic firearms aimed at me. With the zigzag running condition and two hands closing in front, the bullet that shot towards me could be restrained and several bullets grazed my legs and lower abdomen.
The two-player bullet ran out and quickly threw it away and pulled the gun on the holster at his waist. The gun pointed at me, hitting the gun using the right hand uppercut technique and the right hand hitting his face sideways. The player next to him was five meters away from me pointing his gun at me but he couldn't shoot him.
The player I taught was pulled back and he made a living shield.
“Tell me where the red dragon is!” (Cats)
“Let him go! I'll shoot you!” (Enemy player)
It was hard to talk, going forward with the player in front of me and the other player panicking and shooting his own friend to death and his body disappeared. The right hand that had slid straight into his face, hit the wall of this building and died instantly.
Taking out the two pistols dropped by them earlier, the one player on top went inside this building and seemed to be informing him of the conditions that were happening outside at this moment. No problem, a small clan or a large clan is not a problem for me.
For the strong, show the way forward, if the weak, leave the way open. Reflect on yourself weak or not, not yourself who determines but his own desire to be more than anyone.
“Alright, I'll recapture Drouga.” (Cats)
***
There were no traps, no tricks, just smashing through the unlocked front door altogether. The inside of this place was broken, broken glass was scattered and the furniture in this place was broken.
Squatting for a while, feeling both of my hands being overwhelmed by something invisible then activating the features in my glove. Both of my hands are now like dragon hands with sharp fingers and sharp and hard claws.
My gloves have two change features, one giving rise to a deadly weapon with a pointed fist tip to stab the opponent, and the other is a new change feature used today.
“Damn, so cool ... ” (Catuk)
Sensing everything in this building, my sense of feeling spread to the various scopes where this damaged building was located as well as catch my breath slowly.
Slow footsteps are now running up the stairs, behind me the top there are players who escaped earlier shooting in a row. But the direction of the weapon casings did not lead to me, too slow and my speed exceeded his reflexes.
Approaching him with a zigzag move, getting ready to hit but he threw his gun at me. A trick I often saw, taking a step back while avoiding the weapons that were flying towards me.
The knife thrust was not reachable at all, his right hand grasped a dagger with a sharp blade as well as a glint of glittering light. No need to get stale, the player moved forward with his right hand intending to stab me.
From the standby position, it turns into a sideways body position and both hands are in the bottom position. Yes, this defense is only useful when there is an attack from the front and now the condition is fulfilled.
“Basic moron!” (Cats)
Shouting for victory was seen before his eyes by pushing his hand forward right towards my head. The right hand in the lower position moves clockwise so quickly that it becomes a sudden movement and this technique only works if the enemy is in a state of panic.
The tip of the blade was restrained by my dragon scales gloves then tightly grasped it. Interestingly by strengthening his energy until he gave up and released his knife.
Raised both hands, but I just realized there was an object that he covered using his fingers. The right hand held a grenade and the left hand immediately pulled the safety pin.
“You will die with me! That dragon will be ours!” (Enemy player)
Opening his left fist, each finger pierced his stomach and the pain made him remove the grenade he was holding. His mouth gaping, I just grabbed the grenade that fell and put it in his mouth.
With his left hand stuck to his stomach, pushed him up to the ladder barrier and lifted him up to fall downstairs.
*Duarr-!!!
There was no way he could survive with the grenade in his mouth, if he was standing guard in this place meant that in a room along the hall there were the rest of the members who were guarding the guarantee of Drouga.
Took the gun from my inventory that was from the player I killed earlier. Running along this hallway while checking the contents of the room, there was nothing at all and only one room remained.
Standing right in front of the slightly open door, pressed down on the hilt and heard a familiar voice in my ear. There was a grenade that fell right in front of the door, the handle I pressed was the trigger and now floated right in front of me.
His right hand was wide open, slapping the grenade immediately and then closing the door to the room. The explosion made a slight tremor on the floor I was on, entered this room and saw two broken windows and curtains waving by the incoming wind.
If there are no traps this means that this is only an ordinary room, but if there are traps this room has ever been occupied. Carefully, check the various corners of this room to find if there is a secret passage.
It's just that there's nothing suspicious at all, the thing that makes me point to right now is two sliding glass that broke when this place was on the third floor. Walk slowly without making a sound and avoid broken glass that is stepped on, check it and then seen next to the outside there is an iron pipe attached.
When viewed from this side only visible iron pipe installed with a distance of half a meter. This iron board becomes a ladder, but to outsmart it then this sliding glass is needed.
Grabbing the nearest iron pipe and jumping so that my whole body can go up. No traps at all, oil, or other things.
When the left hand was raised up to reach for the iron pipe, there was a slash of bullets from the back that surprised me and luckily only two bullets hit the shoulder. This wound is light for me if in Cluster Online, look back and look one drone equipped with weaponry is locking the target that is myself.
It quickly sent a message to a player with the contents of an SOS message and contained my current location. Amou is not here and the target distance seems to be above but Amou does not carry weapons such as snipers.
Inhaling a long breath and repeating it several times, jumping in a position like this is remembered by rock climbing that has been done by me. This technique is usually done in rock climbing by experienced athletes, but if the position is clear and the grip is like a pipe this is not a problem for me.
Climbing the stairs of this pipe quickly and then roll when it arrives, this layer is in the form of concrete and there is a large box and four players who are guarding the box.
Three players use the same weapon UMP45 and one person uses a Python revolver. The player using the revolver was contacting someone, the other three were alert with the muzzle pointing at me.
With a squatting position like this, my movements would be limited and three consecutive gun shots would perforate my body. If one or two might still be tricked, but if this much as well as the drone behind me then it would be tantamount to suicide on the spot.
“Please quickly come ... ” (Catuk)
Just run with the start position squat, three weapons that lead to me pressed the trigger and dozens of bullets pointed at me. Using one of the Offense Armor artifacts left three times the use, now only two uses remain with a time limit of ten seconds.
The drone behind me was hit by his shot and this was an advantage for me.
The bullets that shot towards me could be deflected and reflected like there was an invisible wall, indeed because it was manipulating the vector. Running out of bullets simultaneously, this was an opportunity to kill them.
Trying sharp claws, slashing the face of one of the players who panicked because approached by me at ten o'clock. The left hand is swung through the temple, turning while removing the left hand from the head and then removing the gun and shooting the remaining two at his feet.
Killing the remaining two by breaking his neck, now only one player is left to use a revolver gun as his weapon. But he pointed the gun towards the box on his right side.
“It looks like your destination is this little red dragon. If this animal dies then your goal will be in vain, you must have heard about Sector 73 being destroyed and many players mentioned that they saw a dragon. If assume like that then the source of the chaos comes from the same creature as this animal, if it is sold then I will be rich quickly.” (Enemy Players)
“Then? It's free if you kill him. Your hopes of getting rich quick are just a joke, I'll crush you if I hurt Drouga.” (Cats)
“Hahaha! Your threat won't work, the gun you're holding is empty. Then only one answer ... ” (Enemy Players)
Now that he's pointing the revolver at me, both of my hands can hold the shot but it would be dangerous if he suddenly shot me in the leg.
“What you used earlier was an artifact, right? It's impossible that the shot didn't hurt you at all. Give me the artifact then you won't get hurt at all.” (enemy player)
It was true, this Offense Armor artifact was only twice more of its use and after that it would be destroyed. However, I can't do it.
“What are you doing!? Direct that empty gun at me!?” (Enemy Players)
“Of course to kill you.” (Cats)
After he pressed the trigger reflexively, pulled my right leg after making it a foothold to jump to the left side. With this position I can move freely forward and kill him, but the player has died with his head shot.
Falling to the right side and the avatar is destroyed, there is a call that enters and looks the name of the player. Just this time I sighed, the player who had not played with me for a long time after the first clan I belonged to was wiped out.
The sound of a woman's voice that makes me nostalgic, just hearing her voice has made my eyes teary. Although we often meet in the real world, but rarely happens in this Online Cluster after our busyness makes desperate.
“Did I interrupt your action?” (Mysterious Woman)
“No, thank you for helping me. Did you start playing again?” (Cats)
“Which is possible, I only visited the old Clan Leader and when chatting there was a message from you in need of help.” (Mysterious Woman)
“WA2000 mine are you wearing?” (Cats)
“Ya, see you ... ” (Mysterious Woman)
“Thank you ... ” (Catuk)
Unexpectedly, my training partner in the real world helped me once again. Maybe we won't meet again in the game, his fighting ability is almost the same as mine.
Dismantling the only wooden box, inside was a red dragon that had grown after a week I had left. But his condition is now asleep because it seems he was injected using a sedative.
“We go home ... Rouga.” (Cats)
***
Sitting on the sofa, the place occupied by me right now was my former residence and only a few people knew about it. Gathering at the current headquarters would probably be fun especially if Drouga was there, but right now I was covering up my other weaknesses.
On the inside of my uniform is a rifle frame, by pointing the right hand forward and waiting for the right moment. There is high air pressure that slides at high speed and can destroy bottles at a distance of ten meters.
With this even in a crowd I can kill players without suspicion. Just pointing my hand at the target, then an invisible bullet would hit the target even if it wasn't too fatal but to scare it was enough.
There was an incoming message, the content of the message was a job for me and the payment was quite high about fifty million credits. It contains investigating a place suspected of being the headquarters of the Player Killer and the job comes from one of the large clans in the Online Cluster.
They did not want any bullies to tarnish their controlled Sector but also did not want to make their clan name fall. This work was completed closed and attacking his headquarters by one expert was the best path.
But after this, it seems like I will quit this job and join this small clan completely.
