Chapter 1704 Joining The War
Hye started to get what he had to do to fly out straight and get away from here. But this also meant he'd have to deal with the lots of spaceships coming to hit them.
He had to fire switches and buttons in front of him, but he wasn't free to do it right now. He'd have to separate part of his attention to do so and would end up delaying the counterattack by precious seconds.
That went without mentioning the task of locking on the target before firing. So he decided to let her fire without caring or locking on any target. And that was the only way he could think of to save himself from this deadly situation.
"Now!" The moment he felt ready, he shouted before finally controlling the spaceship to fly in a straight line. The moment the spaceship stopped twisting, he could see many flashes of light coming toward him.
The shakings he felt before were all indirect impacts from these shots. As he expected, many ships were opening fire at him from both sides. And yet the moment the ship moved like a bullet, a dense wave of fire came from it, hitting many things around.
There was no time to check what hit and what didn't. He tried his best to control the ship, evading any direct shot toward him by using the subtle controller stick. Slowly he started to get a handle on what to do, and soon enough he looked like a fish swimming in water.
Many shots came, and many were released from the ship. As he was moving fast, not a single shot hit them, but most of their shots went to outer space and hit nothing.
A few hit ships that chased them, and that appeared clearly as blossom-shaped explosions that appeared all around them.
"I can't continue doing this," in less than a couple of minutes, the nymph lady shouted in a weak tone, "It's draining my power quite fast!"
"Take the handle then," Hye shortly explained what she had to do, and then he started to take over the firing system. She tried to mimic what he said, but there was a clear difference between her and him.
As he controlled the firing system, an interface appeared in front of him. The same complicated panel that was in front of him appeared in that interface, but for a reason, he felt like it was way simpler and much easier than what he initially thought.
That was before all he needed to do was to think and the interface would take over everything. In return for this, the amount of power he'd consume was too much. And he didn't care.
"Take my bones then," as he lacked enough power to keep attacking for a few minutes like the nymph lady, he took out one bone and started to drain it dry out of energy. The moment he did so, he felt like he was freed from all the pressure in the world.
At the same time, something changed in the interface in front of him. "Oh, so it's responding to the amount of energy one has… Perfect!"
The interface became much wider and bigger, filled with more options. Hye didn't have enough time to examine everything, and looked for two things only: Lock and fire!
The moment he spotted these two, he thought about selecting them. The interface changed, and a wider look of the space outside appeared in front of his eyes. There was four L-shaped red things that kept zooming in and out.
"All I need to do is think and this marker will follow my instructions. If I lock on something, just like this dot over there, then it will target the firing system towards it… Fire!"
He tested and found out that the firing power and rate of the spaceship decreased greatly, yet it became more efficient. The moment he launched a shot, it hit the target fast and destroyed it!
Yet this came at the price of draining lots of power, and that wasn't an issue. "I used to fill my chariot with bones back in the apocalypse, this time I'll fill ships in space, hahahaha!" he laughed, feeling how melancholic this feeling was.
What others took as quite challenging and very hard to do was nothing to him thanks to his bones and his energy. The next moment he filled the spaceship with his bones, giving the nymph lady a scare.
"Just focus on flying us away from here, don't think of anything else," she was already doing a terrible job in flying the spaceship, and the last thing he wanted her to do was to get distracted by what he was doing.
As the bones were ready, Hye knew there was nothing out there to stop him. He started to shoot, hitting spaceships one after another. In less than an hour, he shot down enough ships to make many eyes head over his direction.
The nymph lady was flying the ship to the best of her abilities, yet it wasn't enough. Even after one hour of flying so damn fast, she kept feeling they were still surrounded by enemies as if they didn't move a single inch away.
Hye knew this wasn't her fault, but because the war going on here was quite intense and covered a huge area of space. Yet he wasn't worried. Even with her bad flying abilities, they were doing great thanks to her.
He shot spaceships more than he could count! And yet there were still more coming towards them.
Hye knew he entered the fray and there was no going back! So he kept firing, trying to figure out how to lock multiple targets at the same time.
"I just need to think about multiple targets, and the interface will divide the number corresponding to the number of guns on this ship… There are currently twenty cannons here, but the amount of energy consumed to do that is scary!"
