Chapter 18: Phantom on the Battlefield

Colonel Heath.

And the soldiers under his command.

Those pointing their guns at Seyul were the ones who looked more bewildered.

Did this person not understand the situation?

This was the heart of the Untouchable headquarters.

A dozen soldiers already had their guns trained on Seyul.

Even if, by some miracle, those shots were avoided, there were still countless other soldiers.

Yet, despite this, Seyul had just declared that she would “deal with them.”

To them, she looked completely insane.

[Is this girl out of her mind?]

A new viewer who had just joined the stream had the same thought as the enemies.

[Does she not see the situation she’s in?]

[She just said she’d deal with them? How is that normal?]

[Yeah.]

[She’s definitely not normal.]

Regular viewers eagerly agreed.

But then, they quickly added

[Still, they say crazy people are the strongest.]

[We don’t know what’s going to happen next, but she’s definitely not just going to die.]

[Let’s wait and see.]

Those who had been watching her for a while knew better than to make hasty judgments.

“This might be a rude question, but have you taken any medication recently?”

While the veteran viewers chose to watch silently, Colonel Heath, who couldn’t see the chat, spoke up.

“Most of our forces are out on operations, so there aren’t that many people here right now. But even so, we still have over a few hundred soldiers.”

“If it’s a few hundred, then it’ll take some time to kill them all.”

“It’s not just about numbers! We’re fully armed, and we have military equipment. Do you not see the helicopters and armored vehicles nearby?”

“I see them. So what?”

“…Talking to a parrot would be less frustrating.”

There was no reasoning with her.

Colonel Heath realized that continuing this conversation was pointless.

He sighed in disbelief at the absurdity of what Seyul was saying.

“Even if you were covered in heavy weaponry, it wouldn’t be enough. And yet, you’re standing here empty-handed, acting tough.”

He scoffed and pointed out her lack of weapons.

But at that moment, Seyul grinned.

“Weapons? There are plenty of them nearby. I just need to take them from you.”

How?

Did she really think they would just stand there and let her take their weapons?

Colonel Heath was about to shout in anger when

Seyul disappeared.

“…?”

“W-Where did she go!?”

It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

A dozen armed soldiers had been keeping an eye on her, but she was suddenly gone.

Panic spread among Colonel Heath and his men as they frantically scanned their surroundings.

“My gun!”

A startled shout came from one of the soldiers standing on guard a short distance away.

A metallic clank followed from another direction.

“This is pretty heavy.”

When did she get over there?

Seyul, who had appeared somewhere else entirely, was now holding a rifle in her arms.

Despite her small frame, she had effortlessly taken both a large rifle and a handgun and was inspecting them with interest.

“Hmm, I should be able to handle these just fine.”

With a bright, innocent smile, she looked every bit like a young girl.

No one could have predicted that those words were an incantation summoning hell.

Bang!

In the next instant

One of the soldiers guarding Colonel Heath had his head blown apart.

Tatata!

The other soldiers instantly turned and fired in the direction the shot had come from.

But their bullets only tore through empty air.

Seyul, who had definitely been there a moment ago, had vanished again.

Bang!

This time, a shot came from the opposite direction, claiming another life.

What the hell is happening?

The soldiers of Untouchable

And the new viewers who had just joined the stream

Neither could understand what was unfolding before their eyes.

[What the hell?]

[Where did she go?!]

[What is this? Bullets are flying, but I can’t even see her!]

[It’s nothing special, just stealth techniques.]

[Sounds crazy, but our Seyul knows how to use stealth.]

[Are you joking?]

[What kind of nonsense is that?!]

[A girl using stealth? Seriously?]

[We don’t know why either.]

[She’s probably a Hunter.]

[This is insane LOL.]

The veteran viewers tried to explain to the confused newcomers,

but their explanations only made things more bewildering.

“What are you all doing? Maintain full perimeter vigilance!”

If the spectators were shocked, imagine how those under attack must have felt.

Colonel Heath was sweating profusely, barking orders at his increasingly panicked subordinates.

“The enemy is not some ghost it’s a human! A human can’t just disappear! There must be a trick, so stay sharp and check your surroundings!”

Colonel Heath convinced himself that Seyul was using some kind of trick.

He gave clear commands to prevent his troops from falling into complete panic.

As a result, numerous soldiers who had been guarding the headquarters started converging on the scene.

“Colonel!”

“What is it?!”

The headquarters the most critical location to protect had erupted into chaos, prompting six fully armed soldiers to rush out from the main building.

“Argh!”

“Gahk!”

Colonel Heath was about to explain the situation, but the reinforcements were instantly wiped out.

Bullets had flown in from an unseen location, slipping perfectly into the gaps between their helmets and bulletproof vests,

piercing their throats and cutting off their final breaths.

“…?”

Colonel Heath gaped like an idiot.

The gap between the helmet and bulletproof vest

In theory, it was possible to land a lethal shot there.

But that gap was incredibly small.

Landing a shot there while the targets were in motion? Impossible.

Even as a seasoned soldier, Heath couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.

“Ugh!”

“This… this is insane…!”

More reinforcements rushed in, only to meet the same fate.

Their corpses lay scattered, some missing their weapons, clearly taken by the unseen assailant.

“Take cover!”

Colonel Heath shouted in alarm.

At some point, Seyul had reappeared, now gripping a submachine gun in each hand.

She had both weapons trained on them, fingers poised to pull the triggers.

Even in movies, firing dual submachine guns was unrealistic.

The recoil alone made it difficult to aim properly.

Yet, Seyul was doing it effortlessly.

Bullets rained down from both weapons, tearing through the ranks of soldiers.

Her accuracy was unnerving almost no bullets were wasted.

She wasn’t just handling the recoil; she was using it to propel her body, weaving fluidly through the battlefield like it was a choreographed dance.

[Not even Rambo could pull that off.]

[Well, Rambo wasn’t a slender 30-kilo anime girl, was he?]

Viewers were left speechless by her agility and marksmanship.

“This witch!”

Even the soldiers found the sight unbelievable.

More troops swarmed in, calling her a witch as they charged.

Seyul fired again, but the number of reinforcements far exceeded the casualties.

Hundreds of soldiers were still in the area no matter how many she took down, there were always more.

“Fire! Shoot everywhere!”

Heath bellowed at a soldier of relatively high rank.

“I don’t know what kind of trick she’s using, but she hasn’t actually disappeared! If we keep shooting, we’ll hit her eventually!”

“But sir, that could harm our allies and the headquarters ”

“If we don’t, we all die!”

Hesitation meant death.

Heath, feeling the imminent danger, pressured his troops to act.

Despite their reluctance, they had no choice.

Following orders, the soldiers formed a circle, backs pressed together, and fired indiscriminately in all directions to minimize friendly fire.

Heath himself took cover behind an obstacle, protecting himself while shooting into the chaos.

Bang! Bang!

“Motherf—!”

Yet even this desperate strategy failed to land a single shot.

Meanwhile, Seyul continued picking them off one by one.

“How the hell is he dodging this barrage of bullets?!”

“Even in the most intense gunfire, there are always gaps. You just move through them.”

“What kind of lunatic logic is that?! There’s no way hngh!”

Colonel Heat’s words froze in his throat.

Seyul was right behind him.

Before he could react

Boom!

A helicopter exploded midair, crashing onto an armored vehicle.

The wreckage crushed soldiers as it slid across the battlefield.

The survivors barely had time to scream before being torn apart by the spinning propeller.

And then, with a few final gunshots

Silence.

Colonel Heat, the sole survivor, looked around in a daze.

“Am I already dead? Is this hell?”
