Chapter 1705 Attracting Attention
Hye calculated energy consumption based on the duration a single green-grade normal bone would last. Before, a single bone would last for half an hour. But now, it wouldn't last for even five minutes!
Not to mention he noticed that if he tried to elongate the time for the gun to launch and hit, a much stronger blow would be released, and his consumption rate would skyrocket!
"No time to fool around then," he switched gears, took out silver-grade bones after consuming the green ones he took before, "time to show you who is the boss in this war, hahaha!"
For a reason, it felt great to run and shoot enemies like this, without getting threatened or shot back. As he figured out how the system worked, he started to shoot many targets at the same time.
If he was considered risky before, right now he was a real threat! All the ships that dared to fly next to him got shot, and even those far away slightly from him got shot down as well! All of his shots were precise and came to land perfectly on the target.
Others in this war knew how scary the amount of power Hye was using to pull such a feat. and so they started to think that a big shot joined this war, changing their attitude towards this small ship.
All they could see from it was its outer appearance. They recognised the unique brand of the ship, with the weird red hand that was made by blood.
Soon enough, the bigger ships started to join the fray and chase Hye. They were far stronger and much deadlier than the small ships, but they lacked speed and fast responses.
They didn't hit him directly or even managed to keep up with him. But they did give him and the nymph lady a bad time.
Every shot from the medium-sized ships was strong enough to blow and sweep many smaller ships in the middle. But thanks to Hye's timing in warning the nymph lady, they managed to finally evade all of these shots, coming out with few scratches and many tremors that hit them.
"We need to get away from these behemoths!" the nymph lady shouted, but Hye knew this was quite impossible.
"We are in the middle of a grand war, so endure," he paused, looking around before adding, "but we need to find a safe spot to deploy my army. We can't keep doing this forever."
He was enjoying his time, rocking it against these small ships. But it wasn't that perfect yet. He was fighting alone, without any help from the grand number of warriors he nourished so far.
Using small spaceships to hijack other ships was quite impossible! To do so, one needed a medium-sized ship at least, with lots of small ones aiding it as well.
He didn't want to destroy ships, he wanted to abduct them!
"I miss my cube," as he recalled his old magical cube, he couldn't help but sigh. After the apocalypse ended, many of his artefacts lost most of their former scary powers, including the cube.
It was still functioning, but its reach was limited to just a few tens of metres around him. It wasn't even enough to go beyond the spaceship he was boarding right now, and that made it quite useless.
If it was like before, then by just burning extra bones, he'd gain not only one ship but tons of them. On top of that, he'd also force the crew to join his army, and that would make him like a killer in such big wars.
But so far he didn't find any safe spot anywhere. They flew for three more hours until the nymph lady announced her desire to stop doing this.
"Smiggy was right, being on the ground and hunting for opportunities down there is much safer and hellish easier…"
"Stop complaining," Hye already took his top warriors, led by Lucas and Lucas II, letting them sit over the seats here and watch what the two were doing.
They were watching the two for more than two hours now. Hye didn't want to stop firing and handling the offensive system, but flying the ship must be handled by others. The nymph lady was already doing a terrible job and didn't manage to fly them anywhere safe so far.
And yet her energy was almost depleted. Hye knew she couldn't keep flying the ship anymore, so he asked Lucas to try out his luck and try flying the ship.
"Damn you man! I swear I shouldn't let you touch a single ship again!!!" Hye's voice came out loud, screaming in pure rage and fright when Lucas showed how terrible he was at flying the ship.
In brief, he flew the ship the same way he used to move in battles, by simply controlling the ship in a direct path, heading towards the enemies, without evading a single shot even!
Hye had to exert more power to launch more shots towards the incoming attacks to negate them. Yet in the end, the ship got severely hit by many shockwaves, ending up with Hye deciding to shift roles.
"You fire, I'll steer this damn thing," he knew this was expected, as Soulers were never the type to think before attacking.
They used their overbearing abilities and flashed through enemies to kill them. They were domineering and didn't need to exert extra effort to evade anything coming their way.
"Cool for me," Lucas didn't have any objection to that.
"Just fire at anything you lock… Wow! You can shoot even better than myself!"
Hye wanted to give Lucas a few instructions and tips about what to do. Yet when he saw how remarkably brilliant he performed, Hye decided to remain silent and let the man do what he was great at.
"Time to look for a way out of here," as Hye learnt about the ability to connect the interface in front of him with his system, he tried and it worked!
