The Legacy System

What he wasn't able to see was that before he even died, another bullet ran through his head turning it into some kind of exploding watermelon.

If he were still alive watching that scene he would have probably died once again due to his anger.

Such an expert like him, that was so close to being promoted to a Core Elder in his organization, someone whose life would take a turn for the best, women, wealth, standing, had died like that.

Forgetting about dying a memorable death, or even a death befitting his level, he didn't even have his body in one piece when he died.

His brain matter had spread all over the place, as there was nothing were once stood his head. There was no way of easy recognition of his body.

And perhaps no one would ever find his body in this damn desert that he didn't like in the least, but there was nothing he could do anymore, as he was gone.

The one to have made the shot was Eric's new kitten with her sniper not far away from the place where they were standing. It was her good luck that these guys had run in her direction.

While running through the front door was fun, and efficient as he thought that he had superior strength, Eric wasn't an arrogant idiot.

He knew that no matter how stronger he was, he could never estimate the opponent's strength, so it was better for him to prepare a few cards.

While he couldn't take the four ladies with him, as they would be more of a nuisance, and obstacle through this, that didn't mean he couldn't use them.

As such he had placed them around the camp in a range of 700-800 meters, each one equipped with a high-precision sniper riffle.

Their job would be to whittle down the masses when he needed them to, or the people following him in case he decided to make a break for it.

The situation tonight didn't allow for any of those scenarios though, as the situation had just gone to fast for them to be able to act.

As a matter of fact, Eric had thought to use them just as those kamikazes with C4 appeared on sight, but he got curious when he was asked that question before he died.

'How did he learn about it!?'

How had he learned about what exactly? He was there only to kill them all, and get the SP, and Exp points out of them, but who would have expected he would strike lucky.

Considering how far the enemy was trying to go in order to cover those tracks made him even more curious about what it was.

It was certainly not a small thing though, so he decided to go with the flow and see how things would develop from there.

With that thought in mind, he told the four snipers to not take action, as he waited for the bombs to go off, and at the same moment he used an Escape Talisman to leave the place.

Since his signature disappeared for a long distance it was more than understandable for those people to not know that he was still alive, even though not in a good state.

While he had managed to escape the explosion, the fire, and the hell created, he still suffered quite a bit from the impact of the explosion, and its pressure.

Well, the important thing was that he was alive though, so he put that aside at the moment, and contacted with the 4 ladies through communications devices.

Since it was still impossible for him to mentally communicate through big distances, he had decided to replace it with technology.

It was a great help that technology was greatly advanced, and since the S-day hadn't happened yet, those idiots had yet to shot down the satellites.

His line was immediately connected as the ladies seemed to shocked to hear him at first, after all, in their eyes Eric had died.

There was no way a person would be able to escape that kind of explosion, and furthermore they were unable to do anything about it.

Certainly, if they checked their sub-systems they would be able to tell that he was still alive, but the shock was just that big.

So, it took him a little bit of time to finally be heard by the ladies, as they were still startled how it was possible for him to be alive.

They had many questions that wanted, and needed an answer, but Eric cut them short as he said,

"We will talk about this later, right now just keep an eye on the place, and report everything to me. I am on my way!

But under no circumstance are you allowed to take action, and expose yourself. Was I clear!? Under no circumstance!"

At first Eric had thought that those mercenary fries were the only ones in the area, and he thought that it would be pretty easy to deal with them.

It was only the moment that the bombs around him exploded that he was able to sense for a short instant that there were 2 auras in there, so much stronger than him.

Since he didn't have the necessary strength, and experience it was impossible for the system to be able to pinpoint accurately their level.

But he felt that these guys should be on Kirigaya's level or even higher. The feeling of danger coming from those two was about the same as Kirigaya.

One had to know that Kirigays was a level 80 powerhouse, and it was precisely due to him that no one dared to hit, or destroy Eric's foothold back in Tokyo.

But that just made the situation even weirder and unexplainable for Eric, just what were two guys with those levels doing in a place like this?

The only thing that could cross his mind was that thing that he had heard his opponents speak before the explosion, but that just increased his curiosity even further.

Just what was that thing, that these guys were protecting at this moment, and doing it so zealously as well.

For that reason, he decides to let the ladies only observe the situation from their direction. Each one of them was sent in a different direction, for better coverage, and security.

After that, it happened what it happened, as Eric had to say that this was something nostalgic. It had been so long since he last witnessed a fight like this one.

A fight of experts that could make even the ground shake. Truly a nostalgic feeling, especially as his body was hit by the impact and pressure on the air of the fight.

He was far away from the battle, but he could still feel the wind blades hitting his body, as the view was certainly colorful.

Just like the two of them, even he understood that this place was doomed, and those guys would either have to finish quickly, or leave the place.

Not wanting to lose the opportunity in front of him, he immediately sent an instruction to the girls through his communication device,

"Be extra vigilant from now on, pay attention to every little detail, and report everything, I mean everything to me!"

As he was ordering the ladies to pay attention, the second wave of the kamikaze bombers appeared, as that other guy seemed to have gotten his pill.

The explosion sent even him more than a few steps back, as he even hit a rock bruising his back, but he didn't care about that right now.

What was important right now was to pay even more attention to the hell that was created, and try to pinpoint those who wanted to abandon it.

As he was thinking like that, and paying attention to every detail, he got a communication from the kitten transformed tyrannical bi*tch, who said,

"One target is running in my direction, I repeat, one target is running in my direction!"

That was all that Eric needed, as he immediately jumped in happiness and started running towards the kitten's direction.

The kitten was most certainly worried, and frightened, as that damn dirty old bastard was coming her way, but she managed to keep her calm and coolness and not over react.

It seemed like her prayers were answered, because that damn old dirty bag of bones started deviating from her direction, and suddenly stopped.

It was clear that he was tired, especially after escaping that explosion. He should have died in there, but he hadn't.

The truth was that the moment he second explosion of kamikaze happened, it was due to the order of the old man, as the explosion happened faster.

If it had happened in the right time then he was sure he would escape, as he was the one who had set up the trap, but unfortunately fate had cheated on him, and had played a trick on him.

The explosions went off, because the four snipers had shot one bullet each towards 4 different kamikazes, making the explosion happen before time, catching the old man in it.

In a way, his own doings had become what took him to the grave, as everything proceeded the way it did, with Eric killing the one who had taken the pill from distance due to safety.

And with the head explosion of the old man that was already dying, as Eric was like the fisherman who profited from the snipe and clam fighting each other.

He would have never thought everything would happen like this. But he didn't have time to think much about the situation, as the important thing was to learn about the treasure…
