Escape

But with the sergeant taking the hit for him, even the Lightning Spear, despite its guaranteed-hit property, could only helplessly accept that it had been countered for the first time.

More than forty bullets punched through Kirk's body at once. He was practically a human beehive.

There were about a hundred Japanese soldiers around him, including officers armed with Type 94 Nambu pistols and guards carrying Arisaka rifles.

The Japanese Army's 14th Division was an elite A-class division. Its soldiers were well trained and well equipped. Each pistol round dealt Kirk 5 points of damage, while each rifle round dealt as much as 10!

And that was after Kirk gained 1,400 points of defense from the [Gift of the Major God]!

Kirk instantly lost 350 Health Points.

Fortunately, his Health Points were over 2,000, so he wasn't in danger of being shot to death just yet. He activated [Absolution of the Dawn Goddess]!

The Japanese soldiers in front of him were stunned across a wide area!

Kirk roared and charged at Kunio Nakagawa!

He hurled another guaranteed-hit [Lightning Spear]!

But this time, inspired by the sergeant's self-sacrifice, the Japanese had clearly learned their lesson. Another fanatic rushed in front of the lightning spear and died in place of the colonel.

Kirk cursed, "Are you all masochists?"

He switched to [Wolverine's Claws]. This weapon had a higher attack speed. It wasn't as versatile as [Glory of the God of War], but against Japanese soldiers with an average of only 100 Health Points, one swipe with a claw or one strike with a sword would kill them instantly. Naturally, he chose the faster weapon.

Kunio Nakagawa scrambled to his feet and, without a word, ran toward a dark opening nearby!

He didn't need to think twice to know it was Nakagawa's hideout.
