TOFD 477

Lucky 477

"This is Wolf-1! We are getting close to their camp."

--That's good to hear. Wait for the signal to cast your spell.

"I understand."

A group of soldiers were crawling in the bushes to get close to the enemy camp. They spent three days just to reach this place without getting caught. 

One of them had the power to cast invisibility so they got closer unnoticed. However, they knew that the enemy camp has a TA User who can detect the surrounding. 

That's why they maintained their location. Not close but not far either. 

-- This is the headquarters, you can start the mission. Make sure to damage their supplies.

"Roger that!"

The leader of Wolf-1 gestured to his team. The of them started casting their power. 

Yet suddenly, an ear-deafening gunshot reverberated and struck them dumbfounded. 

Bang--!!

One of their comrades died. His head exploded and died with twitching limbs. 

The team of Wolf-1 was stunned but they quickly realized that their location was compromised. 

"Hide--"

The leader announced before his head exploded as well. His body fell to the ground and blood gushed out like a fountain. 

"Leader!"

The soldiers screamed in agony as they hide themselves. Unfortunately, all of them died one by one. No matter how much they try to hide or run, they died and failed to accomplish their mission. 

"This is Fortunate-1. I clean the pests on this side."

--Good one, Fortunate-1. You have a new mission. Assassinate the enemy's General.

"Roger that."

Calix Romoel stood up after killing a whole team of veteran soldiers. His outfit was completely camouflaged. His face was covered in dirt and he looked like a moving bush. 

'It's a good thing that I have this monocle on me.'

His monocle could see people's aura no matter how far it was. As long as he could see the red aura, he knew that he have to pull the trigger. 

Unexpectedly, all of his kills were one shot. One bullet means one life. 

If there was one thing that made Calix confused, it was the fact that he felt nothing after killing people. 

He looked at his rough hands, he killed more than a thousand people using these hands. 

'I don't feel a damn thing. Is this normal?'

No. He knew that he was changing. Although he was not sure when did it start. Thankfully, he knew that he was still capable of holding emotions.

"I'm tired as fuck!'

He cursed. He spent four days in this area without any sleep. He have to guard this place because this was a vulnerable side of the camp. 

"Esmeralda is still mad at me, huh." He chuckled. His decision to keep Toshi Densetsu's identity caused a rift between them. 

He could not blame Esmeralda. All he have to do was accept the punishment... Because Esmeralda Margaret was the freaking President of their country. He could not disobey her!

At the end of the day, Calix Romoel was just a mere soldier while Esmeralda Margaret is the leader of the country. 

To make it worst, he was stripped of his position and became a lone soldier. The girls were angry at Esmeralda but they can't do anything against her. Especially when the war was ongoing. They need Esmeralda's power. 

Her existence gave them the confidence in defeating the Kingdom of Junian. 

As of right now, Calix's position was at the border of two countries. 

'This place was a prosperous city five months ago. But now the buildings are all gone after many bombings.'

Calix shook his head watching the ghost city. The citizens evacuated when the war started. 

"To make it worst, the one who started the war was Junian. They didn't apologize for what they did. Instead, they started using the Cannon again to prove a point."

Even though the war was just t months old, Calix already realized the true horror of war.

He learned that he was nothing in front of absolute authority. In the end, he was nothing but an ant. A disposable, thrown once useless. 

Calix walked into the big rubble to take a rest. He found a doll with a missing eye, he grabbed it with complicated feelings. 

War is evil. No matter how much they romanticize war, it's nothing but evil. 

Boom! Boom!

Calix sighed because he knew that he didn't have time to rest. Based on the explosions, there was a battle happening near him. 

His sniper rifle transformed into an assault rifle for better aim. 

Then, he came out of the rubble and faced the enemies. The two sides have different uniforms so Calix didn't have a problem recognizing the enemies. 

Huge tanks were firing explosives, causing more destruction. Furthermore, thousands of soldiers surrounded the tanks and protected them. 

At this distance, using an assault rifle was better than a sniper rifle. 

He started blasting, killing people in the process. 

"Guah!"

"Gah!!"

"My right arm--!! My right arm! Goddamn it! How can I fap from now on?"

Soldiers cried as bullets pierced them with no remorse. 

"How is this possible!? We are wearing Battlesuits!"

"His weapon is powerful."

"Enemy at 3 o'clock! Annihilate him!"

The soldiers from Junian found Calix and started shooting at him. 

Yet for unknown reasons, Calix was safe. Even his battlesuit was never grazed by one bullet.

He was safe and sound, in the middle of this massacre. 

"Fuck my iPhone was shot! It's a brand new phone!"

"That's why I hate Apple products. They use sweatshops and their prices are so outrageous. They deserve to go to hell!"

Calix roared in annoyance. He asked himself when will this war end.
