[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Wearing heavy gear and clothing in the sweltering heat is also physically taxing for you.

The civilian uprisings, the spread of various dangerous diseases, and the torment of your souls.

Your teammates, regardless of gender, have complained more than once that this mission is torturous and more annoying than fighting a direct war.

Lina even cried out, "This place is in such chaos. The war has shattered it all. There are headaches everywhere."

Indeed, this is a real battlefield, with ruins everywhere and the air filled with the smell of gunpowder and dust.

There is never a moment of true peace here.

And you, as the passive party, are restricted in every way, which is frustrating and makes people feel resentful.

After bandaging Will's wound, all you can do is helplessly tell him to be more careful next time.

Will nodded: "YN, don't worry."

But as you all know, this isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last.

That day, you received a last-minute message that a conflict had broken out in a certain area, near where you were distributing supplies.

Damn it! Causing trouble first thing in the morning!

You feel a little irritable.

But the distribution of supplies couldn't stop, so two teammates stayed behind to continue distributing them, while you, Koenig, and three other teammates drove off.

Upon arrival, they found nothing amiss, so they decided to split up and observe the situation.

You were assigned to an open, rocky area, where the danger was relatively smaller.

But it was precisely in this most unlikely place that you heard faint sounds—were they people talking? Or shouting?

As you approached, your voice became clearer.

“Ha...Suka...Bri...”

You wonder: Russian? Are there Russians here?

"I won't die today, Fuke!"

As you get closer, you hear a complete sentence in English, spoken in a wildly hoarse voice.

Then came a scream and the sound of violent blows.

You stand on the pile of stones, gun in hand, aiming at the people below.

"Stop! Fighting is not allowed here!"

There were civilian residences nearby, and according to regulations, the war was not allowed to spread to civilian areas.

The person with their back to you is a strong man, and he looks somewhat familiar.

He dropped the other man he was holding, the one he had beaten unconscious, and turned to look at you.

"Nikto?"

Upon seeing the familiar helmet and mask, you exclaimed in surprise.

You put away your gun, walk down to him, and ask, "Did you also participate in this peacekeeping mission?"

Nicholas didn't answer; he just stared at you intently.

Looking into his violent eyes, your heart skipped a beat, and you sensed something was wrong!

You lift your foot and move it backward, then quickly raise your gun.

"Nikto, what's wrong? Answer me!"

After experiencing so much, you become highly vigilant about anything unusual.

Nicoto let out an excited laugh, then turned to you and said:

"We've finally met, girl."

After saying that, he ran quickly toward you, the boulders under his feet appearing to him as flat ground.

Something's wrong! Nicholas isn't behaving properly!

You immediately turn around and run uphill, over the pile of stones and onto flat ground!

But he was very fast, catching up to you in just ten seconds and reaching out to grab you!

To dodge, you immediately dodge and spin around, drawing a half-circle with your foot before stopping behind.

You stare at Nicoto across from you. You raise your hands in a defensive stance.

"Girl, you can't escape."

ch.104: I'm starting to like her.

Nicoto's voice, unlike its usual deep and slow tone, became sharp and hoarse, with an excitement that seemed to be teasing its prey.

You looked at him, intending to negotiate: "Nikto, have you forgotten me? I'm YN, we met before at the Chimera base."

"Yes, yes, of course I remember, I wanted to strangle you with my own hands back then."

Hearing him say this, you can be pretty sure that Nicoto has some kind of mental problem.

Although Koenig differs between his usual state and his combat state, his mindset doesn't change drastically.

“I don’t want to be your enemy, Nikoto.”

You're trying to appease him, after all, you're no match for him right now.

But he clearly wasn't going to let you off easily, and strode over, his punch clearly using a lot of force.

You retreated several steps to dodge the punch, but he countered with a backhand chop!

You have no choice but to use both hands to grab and block his wrists, then lift them up forcefully and duck under his arm!

Clench your fist upwards and punch him hard in the neck!

Nikoto was fully armed, and his only apparent weakness was his neck.

But you overlooked the fact that he had another hand, so he pushed you in the chest with his left hand, and the force made you stumble back several steps!

The impact of the blow to your chest made you cough, and he took the opportunity to attack you again.

"sudden--"

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew towards Nicoto from a distance. He dodged quickly but was still hit in the arm. The bullet grazed his arm and tore his arm patch off!

He let out a muffled groan, then uttered a curse.

Take the opportunity to run two quick steps toward Nicoto, then turn around, stand on tiptoe, lean forward, support yourself with your hands on the ground, and kick out with your right leg high and force!

A standard Capoeira spinning kick, due to the height difference between you, he has difficulty bending down to dodge, and you hit him squarely on the side of his neck!

But there's a protective layer around Nicoto's neck, so your move won't hurt him much. So, as you fall, hook your legs around his right foot and pull him back forcefully!

Nicoto's muscular body lost its balance and fell backward!

You immediately jumped up, turned around, and ran away without looking back!

There's no way around it, you've seen Nicoto fight before. He's not only strong and agile, but his methods are also brutal.

If you continue, your situation will only become more dangerous. You might as well run away first!

Sure enough, Nicolto's backward figure did not fall to the ground, but he nimbly stood up with a flip.

Seeing your retreating figure, he stopped chasing and quickly hid behind cover.

Nicoto pressed his right hand against his aching left arm, cursing the person who fired the shot several times in his mind.

Next, I will give you my evaluation.

"Ha...she's really hot, I'm starting to like her."

A deep, mocking voice echoed in my mind.

(Didn't you say you wanted to kill her before? You've fallen for her already?)

'Nikto' laughed heartily, then said with a wicked grin, "I've changed my mind. She's really something! Very charming. I'll have to find a way to kidnap her and have some fun with her."

(You were too rough and scared her.)

A deep yet gentle voice rang out.

(Give me back my body, you damn freak.)

The originally deep and slow voice rang out, tinged with a hint of annoyance.

'Nicto' laughed arrogantly: 'Oh, Nicholas is angry, but it's too late. Your 'Agngel' may have already started to hate you.'

'Nikto's' expression changed, and then he pressed his hand against his dizzy head in frustration.

After a long while, Nicole finally raised her head, her blue eyes lifeless.

"Damn it..."

Meanwhile, you run towards the direction of the gunshots, and a pair of hands reach out from behind a dilapidated wall and pull you inside!

"Koenig!"

It really was him! You guessed your teammates were coming as soon as you heard the gunshots!

Koenig's eyes, hidden behind his mask, stared at you, scanning you several times before finally letting out a sigh.

"Thankfully, I'm not injured."

You pat him on the shoulder with a smile: "Thank goodness, my friend, you arrived just in time!"

Koenig chuckled, his tone smug: "They said I couldn't be a sniper, they should see how I do it."

At long range, without a scope, and while shooting in motion, it's still quite impressive that he didn't hit any vital organs.

You give a thumbs up and praise, "They misjudged you, you're incredibly talented!"

Koenig looked at you, his eyes sparkling.

"YN, you really understand me best. I want to be your friend for life!"

You nodded: "Of course we will be."

After cautiously surveying the surroundings, the two of you quickly ran into the nearby civilian residential area.
