《The Awakened World》Vol. 2, Ch. 61 : What's gun safety?
Advertisement
Surrounded on all sides with Nazis with guns with magic. And to top it off, they're pointed at us.
Oh, this is bad. I'm also sure that they're not going to just let us plan.
"Hahaha! Now that you are trapped, I must say, you aren't as witted as I thought you would be. Our magnificent plan, helped greatly by me, was orchestrated to perfection. In fact—" Or…Dr. Crime could start monologuing.
Using Telepathy, I link to Sophia. 'Any ideas?'
'Maybe…I have some tricks, but I need a distraction—a large one at that. I'm not really built for flashy stuff…Actually, I could, but I think most of us here value our lives.'
'Alright, I'm going to ask Rose if she has anything.'
I disconnect from Sophia and establish a new connection, though this one is noticeably harder. Must be her angelic form. 'Hey, Rose.'
'Hey, Alice. Need anything? I'm getting really close to falling asleep with this guy's story.'
"—and then she cried. Cried, I say! My aunt wailed because I stole her candy. Well, she was younger than me, but still!"
'…Yeah,' I agree. 'Listen, Sophia says she can do something—I don't know what—about the Nazis, but she needs a distraction. Any…flashy skills?'
'Maybe, but I need to verify with Sophia. Is there anyway you could patch me through to her?'
'Maybe?' I could…Perhaps. Alright, let's just maintain this connection, and see if I can establish one with Sophia.
'Ah, Alice? Have you figured anything out?'
'Sophia,' Rose calls out, 'can you hear me?'
[ Through possession of skill: Telepathy(Active, Hereditary) and repeated actions you have unlocked the skill: Telepathic Nexus(Minimum, Active) ]
[ Telepathic Nexus — Allows the user to connect multiple minds together through their own. This process is taxing on the user and the thoughts of all minds can be heard through the user. Any other minds can only hear intended thoughts. ]
'Yeah, I can hear you.' I barely register Sophia's thoughts. The System said taxing; I didn't imagine a migraine was the System's definition of taxing. Ugh…

'Alright, I'm going to bump my aura up to 11 and flash my halo. When I do that, well, just do what you gotta do.'
'On it.' With that, they both disconnect willingly. Just in time too, or I would've collapsed. I'll just leave things up to them for now. Just…give me a minute.
I stagger a little bit, and Cooper gently stabilizes me by grabbing ahold of my shoulders. "You alright?", and I reply by nodding weakly.
"I'm fine. Just a little backlash is all." He nods in affirmation, but worry is still shown on his face. Right, so let's see what Rose and Sophia have in mind.
Dr. Crime is…still monologuing. Even his own soldiers are no longer listening. Some are nodding off, and others are simply leaning against the wall. One group even pulled out a pack of cards. "—is what I said. Is it really my fault if the horse penetrated his ass? Well, it might've been, but it's is own fault for feeding it aphrodisiacs!"
With a shiver, Rose bursts into a sphere of pure light. Screams fill the air as the holy aura burns the Remnants un-alive at this close proximity. I shield my eyes as spots fill my vision, but not before I see a Remnant melt into a puddle of inky, tar-like sludge.
I think I'm gonna throw up.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Sophia send some threads into the surrounding soldiers. Nobody notices this with the blinding light being emitted, except me. Then she tugs then strings, and all of the Nazis blink out of existence.
It's strange. They're there one moment, but then the next, they're not. Not a sound or a rush of air to fill a vacuum. It's just as if they were never there in the first place.
"Welp, I believe that just leaves you lot," Cooper says with his thumbs in his pockets.
Now we're just left with Dr. Crime, Hitler, Napoleon, and Genghis. But we have Sophia, Rose, Cooper, me, Abraham Lincoln, Claus, and Robin Williams. Graves is still missing, but I think I can smell him, so we just have to deal with these guys.

And…we have the advantage in numbers.
Silence reigns for a second as we all stand off and stare. Our gazes pass each other by, searching for a mote of agitation to start the battle. I feel all my muscles tensing up in anticipation for the inevitable fight.
*ACHOO!!!*
Rose sneezes, and all hell breaks loose.
Rushing towards Hitler, I grapple his shoulders and slam in on the desk. He doesn't go down easily as it takes all I have just to hold him there. I hold his arms down and slam his forehead on the desk. Then do it again. And again. And again. Up and down he goes. Wait…
*CRACK* "AHHH!" Yep, I think that's his shoulder blade. Slamming his head in a desk drawer for good measure, Hitler is down for the count.
Cooper, standing at five foot eleven, towers over Napoleon at five foot six. However, Napoleon had a sword, and Cooper is unarmed.
Cooper rushes at Napoleon and jumps to the left at Napoleon's swing. Bouncing off of Rose, whom is fighting Genghis Khan with the help of Abraham and Robin, he dives towards Napoleon.
Napoleon sidesteps the dive, which Cooper recovers from with a roll, and attempts a stab. Kicking Napoleon's shins, Cooper bounces back up and locks the shoulders of the stunned Frenchman, and to top it off, he knocks the sword out of his hand. Now they're in a stalemate.
Oh, and I haven't been idling by either.
While Sophia was in a fistfight with Dr. Crime, albeit one with much more flashy magic than what one would call a fistfight, I've been rifling through Hitler's pockets.
And I found a gun. A pistol to be exact. Cooper had one too, but he had to leave it behind since it didn't match the Nazi ones. Police issue, that sort of thing.
I think—
*BANG*
I shouldn't hold this.

Mmm, Status, how long shall you grow? But, putting that aside, I thought killing Hitler would be more cathartic.
"SILVER, GIVE ME THAT GUN! NOW!" Cooper commands me with struggle in his eyes as Napoleon begins to win the struggle.
Napoleon frees himself, grabs the sword, and swings right at Cooper's neck.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
