Chapter 192: Cyber Law Enforcer

After a side roll, Kierannded on the ground single-handed, clenching the muscles of his arm.
The sudden boost of strength turned into strong force as he pushed himself back towards the spot he had just gotten away from.
Bang!
The bullets were a fraction of a second toote, but the sniper, who was hidden far away, did not give up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more shots were fired. When Kieran made his way behind a wall, the firing stopped.
The tremendous destructive force of the sniper was like a mini cannon, sting the ground where Kieran stood. It was inferiorpared to a real cannon though.
Still, Kieran was astonished by what he saw from his new hiding spot. The wall that he had just been taking cover behind a moment ago had been sted into pieces along with a big chunk of the building.
It was not a rocketuncher, but a real cannon.
"There are yers that can use cannons?"
Kieran could not imagine how a yer could even use a cannon inside the dungeon world.
The sheer size and weight of them was not something a single person could handle. There had to be a whole team.
This was the only possible exnation.
Kieran’s spections made his heart tremble with dyed panic.
If he had not been thinking about counterattacking, he might have taken a cannon st on the face.
Kieran knew what would have happened to him if he had still been at the spot when the almost eight-meter wide cannon crater had eliminated all obstacles.
Even with [Primus Scale], he would have still been crushed to bits. The attackers would not have prepared just a single shot after all.
Kieran took out his [Jagdtiger-X1] and tried to spot the sniper through the scope. He believed the sniper was also looking for him.
The Musou Level [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)]’s special effect [Unparalleled Aim] boosted his Intuition to B- rank in an instant.
Kieran’s view was bing clearer by the second, his enemies now more obvious than ever.
Bang!
Kieran pulled the trigger before quickly moving away from his current spot.
[Shooting: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 400 Damage to Target HP (200 Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)(Pro) X2), Target has Maic Force Field, Bullets are ineffective, 0 True Damage inflicted to Target...]
...
The notification that popped up shocked Kieran, but he did not dare stop just because he was surprised.
The roaring sound of the cannon was heard again.
Boom!
The huge shockwave sent Kieran flying.
The moment he fell on the ground, he rolled quickly to the side and stood up. He kept running towards his original destination to take cover.
Musou Level [Evading] not only allowed him to dodge iing fire, but it also helped him minimize damage if he could not avoid it.
"Maic Force Field? What the hell is that?"
Kieran was not familiar with the term, but he understood what it could do. The Maic Force Field had negated his lethal attack and rendered his bullets useless.
Kieran was in awe of the attacker’s equipment.
This new wave of attacks waspletely different from the previous two, otherwise they would have taken the chance when Kieran and Shielder brawled it out with brute strength.
The strength of this new wave of enemies shed light on the situation.
Kieran was hiding in a dark corner checking his own wounds.
[Shock Wave: Target inflicts 150 Damage to your HP, Protective Tessirot Blessing resisted a portion of Damage, 100 True Damage inflicted to HP...]
...
The damage from the cannon shockwave exceeded Kieran’s wildest expectations.
Even though Kieran had gotten away from the sting range, he was still affected by the after wave and had suffered an amount of damage.
The high damage and the negation of his attacks left him only once choice. He had to call reinforcements.
He would need at least one more person to help him locate the cannon.
"2567: Under attack, help!"
Kieran quickly messaged Lawless for help, but it was not Lawless who came to his aid first.
It was a squad of a dozen cyberw enforcers in ck and blue, with an obvious police badge on them.
The cyberw enforcers appeared out of thin air and approached Kieran. One of them spoke in a mechanical voice, "Please remain calm. Your safety is our priority."
It seemed to be establishing its credibility.
The robot opened its hands and a 10-inch hologram appeared before Kieran.
The projection was showing two scenes at once.
One of them was someone carrying a sniper rifle and running for their life, and the second one was four men swiftly dismantling a cannon.
No matter how quick they were though, the cyberw enforcers were one step ahead.
In the projections, Kieran could clearly see two squads of cyberw enforcers surrounding the sniper and the yers dismantling the cannon.
The sniper put his hands up in the air, but two of the four yers around the cannon tried to resist.
The cyberw enforcers fired a bright redser beam from their eyes and pierced the yers’ bodies with ease.
"Laser weapons?" Kieran shivered a bit.
Back in the real world, the Union’s most elite force ofw enforcers were usingser weapons as well.
Kieran kept an eye on the news because his army service would be due soon, but he would never have thought he would get to see aser weapon in the game.
"yer 2567, the attackers assaulting you have been captured. Any resistance has been eliminated."
"You are safe again. You have 3 Honor Kill Points, and you will receive 3% of their total wealth aspensation!"
After the mechanical voice finished speaking, the squad of cyberw enforcers left.
[Authenticated yer has 3 Honor Kill Points, yer will receive 3% of the attacker’s total wealth aspensation (including but not limited to equipment, items, Points, and Skill Points)]
[Calcting Compensation...]
[yer’s Final Compensation: 15,000 Points.]
...
"Is this what Honor Kill Points are for?"
Kieran was extremely surprised when he found out what the real use of the mysterious Honor Kill Points was.
With a sudden heartache, he realized that if 3% of the yers’ total wealth equaled 15,000 Points ofpensation, then 100% would have equaled 500,000 Points.
Ugh! The thought alone made Kieran’s heartache stronger. He was having trouble breathing. He felt as if something important was just beyond his grasp.
"Honor kill... Honor kill..." Kieran mumbled softly.
When Lawless rushed to the scene, Kieran looked at him with an immensely serious expression.
"When you go after the Killer Organization, you have to take me with you!" he said, emphasizing each word.
"Wh... what? Are you okay, 2567?" Lawless asked worriedly, baffled by Kieran’s sudden gibberish.
"I’m fine, just a little hurt. So, any news from the Harvest Inn?" Kieran shook his head, asking a random question.
"A couple of my buddies searched the area, but nothing!" Lawless sighed.
Kieran frowned. If the attackers had known where to find him, then there had to be someone following him, not only at his own house, but at the Harvest Inn as well. A spy from the Killer Organization had to be somewhere around.
This was the conclusion he had reached, yet he did not suspect Lawless.
If Lawless said so, then his team must have been searching hard, but note up with anything.
If the Organization was out there though, its members must have left some traces.
"I want to go have a look. Is that okay?" Kieran asked.
He believed Lawless, but that did not mean that he would not use his [Tracking] to his advantage.
Kieran was sure his special skill would be particrly useful in this case.
"Sure, of course. Let’s walk over. I’m curious about what happened here though."
Lawless nodded with a smile before pointing at the sted ruins and debris all around them.
He did not mind Kieran volunteering to join his crusade. It was what he wished for as well.
Even though Kieran had a low dungeon entry number, he had seen his formidable strength with his own eyes.
Lawless was about to turn around and leave.
"Hold on, there’s also something else!"
Kieran went inside his room. He had not forgotten the methods the first wave of attackers had used.
He was curious about how Correy and Shielder had rigged up his door.
Before Kieran could venture another step deeper though, he was pulled back by Lawless hard.
"Wait!" Lawless said with furrowed eyebrows.
His eyes were locked on the entrance to Kieran’s room.
