Cop Craft: Vol.1 Last Chapter
---------------------------
A machine with a cylinder was left in the middle of the heliport.
It is a spirit bomb with a fairy inside.
It was visible from here that the LCD screen attached to the bomb was counting.
><< 00: 03: 25 >>
Another three minutes and twenty five seconds. It is now twenty four seconds. Twenty-three, twenty-two ....
>Kei: "The bomb is timed. It will explode soon."
>Tilarna: "Can't you break it with your gun?"
>Kei: "No! As far as I can see, the basic structure looks the same as an ordinary bomb. If you make a shock, it should explode instantly. "
It is good to see that the device that pours current and radio waves into the fairy is already activated. Probably detonation is a momentary thing. In that sense, that fairy is no different from a very fast-burning plastic explosive.
>Tilarna: "So what can we do?"
>Kei: "You can only stop the circuit by hand."
>Tilarna: "But Zerada is probably close ..."
>Kei: "It can’t be helped. I will be careful."
Matoba and Tirana approached the spirit bomb that was left in the middle of the heliport. Zerada hasn’t made a move yet. That was rather worrisome. We observed the blasting device, the electronic circuit attached to the frame, a large condenser and sensors. There is also a strange device that I have no idea what does it do.
If this was a normal bomb, Matoba's knowledge would be enough to disarm it, but this is a hybrid of the bombs of his world and the magic devices of the Semani world made by that Elvaji guy.
>Tilarna: "Do you know how to disarm it?"
>Kei: "I am not sure. The device should be similar to the normal ones. If you bypass the circuit, it may do the trick ..."
Then we heared the voice of Zerada out of nowhere
>Zerada: “Well, well, you are actually making an effort
A step ahead of them, the end of the heliport was Zerada, with his red coat and his cane. Kneeling, crouching, holding a slightly glowing candlestick.
>Kei: "This guy ..."
>Zerada: “I am sorry for the bad things till now. It’d be better for you if you just run away, you know… for your own safety. "
>Kei: “I love being in the way of that noble face of yours.”
>Zerada: “Please, don’t do it”
>Kei: “Shut up!”
There was no warning this time. Matoba shot the gun with Zerada's aim. The bullet bites into the head, shoulders and sides, and the wizard screams at once.
But nothing happened
The 9mm bullet shot by Matoba passed through Zerada's body and just hit the back with a handrail and a fence to scatter sparks
>Kei: “How the hell…”
>Tilarna: “It’s an illusion! Look up!”
Flames appeared from three places in the air and flooded at the same time with Matoba aiming.
I immediately throw away Tilarna. There was no room for further action. One flame hit the ground, another shot a hole in his coat, and the last one impacted on the middle of Matoba’s back.
“It was just not a simple burn, but I am feeling pain through all my body”
>Tilarna: “Kei!!!”
Matoba fell to the front. The pain that struck my back spreads out. Hot and cold things hold his airway, lungs and heart in overwhelming power.
>Zerada: “It was a pity, Mr. Matoba! It is also your loss”
I saw in the corner of the field that Tirana lowered herself and watched around. The illusion of the sorcerer vanished, reappeared a few steps away, and disappeared again, laughing at Tirana, who was poised to jump. Blue flames aim at her. Tirana seems to have no chance to win against such weird attacks.
>Zerada: “This is no much fun… I'm really enjoying it.”
Even though it was the voice of an old man, it was a laugh like a child playing around.
>Kei: “I can hardly breathe… I can’t even help her nor say anything… I am done for. I will die here…”
I did not think that I was disappointed. From the beginning, I felt like I could not beat that Zerada guy in the corner of my head. That was ten years ago, from the time of that war.
It was just such a bright night sky
A small multinational military base built in the wetlands of southern Falbani. One company that was stationed, about 10,000 people, all killed in one night.
Among the soldiers, there were many addicts of the fairy dust. It was not possible to endure the severe battle until then. The addicts at once all started to shoot and kill the base's comrades "in confusion". The horrible turmoil accelerated each other's abolition, and soon the ammunition store exploded. Communication was cut off, and no one could grasp the situation. Surviving soldiers were killed one after another after being attacked by Semani warriors.
Kei Matoba, who was still young, ran away from the burning base, with several survivors. In the dark and dark darkness, one of them was lost, and the other was injured by a poisoned arrow on his back. The comrade who was dragging his shoulder was dead when he realized. When he was alone and frantically in the muddy mud, a man appeared in front of his eyes. I only saw the silhouette that floats in my mind. It was an unusually long arm. I laughed at that in my mouth.
I already knew it. That was Zerada.
I have not forgotten the despair of that time. I was convinced that I would die there. But the man did not kill me. The sorcerer just disappeared, leaving me behind.
I had always the feeling he’ll appear in front of me again to take back that lent life.
Such thoughts in my head were driving me crazy. How many times I had nightmares and I didn't know how I got out of bed.
This nightmare has finally came true here. It was always my destiny.
Tilarna was still fighting, desperately running away and trying to find her enemy while avoiding those flames and hitting nothing but illusions.
Matoba was barely seeing her movements. He can no longer see her but only hear the sound of the wind flowing on the roof of the heliport, and the sound of a cloak captivating to the wind.
The sound…
The sound of his cloak… where is it coming from… this sound…
With huge pain, Matoba raises his gun and aims to a corner of the heliport… pointing to an empty space, like if he was going to shoot at the nothingness.
The moment he tried to trigger it, the gun naturally moved slightly to the left.
Fire!
A blood spray splattered…
Tilarna herself did not know for sure what happened in that moment.
Matoba, who was supposed to have died due to the fire of Zerada, managed to locate the enemy and shoot him.
The red magician appeared
Zerada: “How…”
The magician was holding his chest while blood was coming out of it.
Tirana ran to the red mage. Zerada makes a mark with his fingertips and squeezes the air later. She didn’t give him a chance to use his power and slashed the body of Zerada with the tip of her sword.
Zerada quickly jump behind, taking a huge distance from the knight.

>Zerada: “Ah, well done......! It’s the first time in one hundred and three years that I have been hurt. ...... Ha ha! fun! really fun!”
>Tilarna: ”Shut your mouth! Be prepared, monster!”
>Zerada smiled as he was getting close to the edge of the heliport, grabing the lightning rod
>Zerada: “Not yet! Half-knight. It is in the name of the Marzani sect we’ll break any sword that gets in our way!”
>Zerada released his hand from the lightning rod
>Zerada: “I will be waiting for you… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
>Zelada's body fell from the building. Tirana leans out of the handrail of the heliport and looks down. The body of the sorcerer, as small as a pea, hit a glass roof of a building near the ground.
A large amount of glass fragments and smoke are rolled up by the impact of the fall.
Tirana hid himself, and in the middle of the heliport, he ran to Matoba, who fell with his gun. With a spirit bomb counting down right next to them.
>Tilarna: “Kei…”
Matoba was dying. The fire of Zerada has disturbed the spirit of life, and his breathing and heartbeat have been weakened. It seemed that they were holding up with amazing strength, though they were trained differently, but it was still a matter of time to die like those guards.
Although Tirana has learned healing magic and healing hand, it does not have the necessary touch and well-to-use materials and medicines needed for treatment here.
>Tilarna: “Zerada was defeated. Please hold on”
No other words were found, Tirana said.
Matoba looked up at her and moved her mouth. There is no voice. His lips were said to be "bomb". A shaking finger points at the spirit bomb
>Tilarna: “Are you going to stop the bomb?"
He shook his head.
I whispered "flee" this time, as I squeezed my strength. The liquid crystal display has no more than fifty seconds. It was impossible to stop the bomb with just the knowledge of Tilarna.
>Kei: “I can not make it in time”
Tilarna had a slight sway and then took a breath of his shoulder
>Tilarna: "No, I can't escape in time. And ..."
I watch the fairy in the bomb
After all, I intended to throw away my life at the end of the day. I think I will be with this girl in the end.
>Tilarna: Thank you. Because I'm going to be with you in a spring field and live with a man who doesn't like it
Tilarna reached for the bomb and gently touched the cylinder with his fingertips. Tell the fairy Fiel in tempered glass with a gentle voice
"Pheh Leaiah Shi ..."
The name of the fairy is Reiah
>Tilarna: “Cute Reiah, as I promised, I came to help you”
You guided me long ago when I was lost in the forest and crying. You also showed me a good dance, and when I was hungry You gathered a tree nut. When I returned from the forest, I promised you we’ll always be friends. When you were in trouble or when I was alone, I would surely help each other.
My dear Reiah
>Tilarna: "It's impossible to bring you back to the woods, but I'm here. I did not leave you alone. So, Reiah. Don't be scared, let's stay together. You and I will be friends all the time, wherever you go".
The counter on the LCD screen has been under five seconds.
Reiah smiled inside the cylinder
Zero...
The initiation circuit has been activated.
Matoba woke up
There was no more pain
The sky was clear and beautiful
The air was good, I was hungry and wanted to smoke cigarettes like a maniac. The left shoulder shot by Ross was still in pain
It seems that I am alive.
After raising himself to the point, he finally understood
He was still on the heliport. The night is over, the morning sun is shining around. By his side, Tilarna had a kneeling knee and was looking down at it with quiet eyes.
Kei: How are you doing?
After speaking aloud, Matoba coughed heavily. My throat was sore because I was so violently gasping.
Tilarna: “I used the healing touch. In order to heal you, who was affected by the poison fire, you needed valuable spiritual drug. You were supposed to die as it was”
Kei: “So… where did you get the spirit drug?”
Tilarna crawled behind the spirit bomb
Tilarna: “I used the fairy’s death wish”
The bomb cylinder was split in two. There is no figure of a fairy. However, the golden powder was just spilling out of the gap between the burned and tempered glass. Apparently, the detonator seems to be working. Some electronic parts are burned.
>Kei: “is the fairy dead?”
>Tilarna: “Yes…”
Tilarna stood up and turned away from him. His shoulders shook his voice.
>Tilarna: “The touch and medium used in the bomb was designed to do harm to people using live spirits. It seems that the fairy knew it. To help me, the fairy gave up her own life.”
A strong wind blew on the heliport.
The spirit's corpse--gold dust splattered, and in the dazzling morning burn, it faded in radiance.
