Chapter 267: Public Enemy (2)
There was a magical power in guns.
Every man had probably tried a gun at least once.
As a child, he might have shot paintballs at a survival game field.
He might have shot airsoft guns or water guns as toys.
More importantly, he had shot countless times in the military, and even during reserve training, he had shot at zero-range targets.
Though the military was frustrating to think about, the recoil at the moment of pulling the trigger sometimes made a man’s heart race.
Manipulating the gun to pull the trigger, placing it accurately on his shoulder, pulling the trigger, and hitting the target precisely with the recoil hitting his shoulder—all these steps.
Every man had felt a thrill down his spine at least once because of that sensation.
And now.
In this world, I could shoot to my heart’s content things I wouldn’t even encounter as a reservist in my original world.
Not an M16 I met at a countryside reserve training site while moving around, but all sorts of guns with history and tradition from before the Great Catastrophe.
It’s a shame they weren’t live bullets, but I could shoot something that gave an even more thrilling sensation than live bullets.
Magic bullets formed by magic power.
Bang—!
As soon as I pulled the trigger, the muzzle flashes.
The avatars of Gyo Berris tried to dodge the direction of the muzzle, but the magic bullets were faster than their bodies.
Thud.
With a dull sound, another avatar collapsed with a hole in its head.
And at the same time, as soon as it collapsed, its head exploded.
Splash.
Blood splattered around.
Like a mannequin’s head exploding, the fragments spread around the avatar and scattered on the ground.
[If you blow up someone’s head, you should expect your own to blow up too.]
The magic bullet, which pierced precisely through the middle of the forehead, does not stop at lodging in the head.
A magic bullet, difficult to replicate even with special bullets, has explosive properties. As it lodged in the avatar’s head, it exploded inside according to my will.
“Grr...!”
[If it only pierces, they’ll try to regenerate quickly through the puncture. Blowing it up is better.]
Bang, bang.
I kept shooting the magic bullets.
I kept pulling the trigger with one arm, but a superhuman’s body could easily handle this weight and recoil.
It would certainly be easier to aim if I held it with both hands.
That was the basics of gun shooting.
Even pistols were held with both hands, so how could one shoot a sniper rifle classified as a rifle with one hand?
“Grr, arrogant NTR scum...! Just die already!”
[Sorry, but I’m not the one getting stolen from, I’m the one stealing.]
However.
[I will block it. At most, it’s just rushing and swinging claws...!]
“Both of you, just blow up!!”
Sometimes.
“You two, go together!!”
A man had to give up practicality and pick something else.
[It’s dangerous.]
[Uh...?!]
I pulled Yumir with one hand and turned my body.
Yumir, whose waist I grabbed, was about to rush forward but immediately entrusted her body to me. Holding her waist, I stepped on the ground and shot forward.
Tat-tat-tat-tat.
Though it’s a sniper rifle, unlike before, I formed magic bullets with short bursts of magic power, firing them continuously.
The avatars rushing towards us halted in place due to the stopping power of the magic bullets, and soon their bodies started to split apart.
Bang!!
[Self-destruct?!]
[You’re nasty.]
While holding Yumir, I landed on the ground just as I had jumped up.
[Th-thank you. I never thought they would self-destruct....]
[It’s just one of the avatars. Sorry for grabbing you suddenly.]
[N-no. Though there wouldn’t have been damage, if I imagine getting covered by that... ugh.]
Yumir gritted her teeth at the blood splattered on the ground.
At the same time, she extended her Dragon Killer forward and lightly clenched her fist.
Bang, bang, bang!
Golden claw-like blades fired forward, piercing the avatars all at once.
Not just piercing one, but several avatars’ solar plexuses one after another.
Click!
As soon as she fired three claws, golden claws sprang out from inside.
[How about calling it my unique fighting style?]
[...Hmm, now that I think about it, that seems right.]
If one handled close range, the other handled long range.
[Back me up. I’ll take the avatars’ heads off from the front.]
[Not smashing the heads?]
[Don’t assume I’ll always use blunt weapons.]
If Yumir was going to shoot, I needed to change to a form suitable for close combat.
[I also use bladed weapons.]
Click.
I formed a magic blade at the end of the club, turning it into a crescent blade.
[It’s cleaner to cut them off rather than having flesh burst when they explode.]
Swish!
I swung the pole, decapitating an avatar.
The avatar’s headless body fell backward, and Yumir aimed her claws at the head flying into the air, firing a beam.
Sizzle.
The avatar turned to ashes and vanished.
Currently, no avatar could inflict damage on us.
It might cause mental damage due to the grotesque slaughter, but we should be used to it by now.
[How long will you keep sending avatars?]
“...Heh, heh-heh.”
[Like Duoexini and you, you can only create demons but can’t fight worth a damn.]
“Is that so?”
Smirk.
All the Gyo Berris pointed their hands at us.
“Then, try fighting against your own combat style.”
[......!!]
[No way...!]
[Copying?]
“It’s not copying, it’s called ‘mirroring’!”
Tat-tat-tat-tat.
From all directions, the fingers of Gyo Berris started flying at us like bullets.
They were as fast as magic bullets, and the way the fingers swarmed seemed explosive.
Moreover, the launched fingers spouted red blood drops towards us like beams.
In an instant, I figured out Gyo Berris’s combat style.
Using avatars to learn the enemy’s pattern and countering it.
Gathering data and utilizing it as it was.
Just like how they utilized what happened on this angelic island in Thailand, they fought by accumulating and utilizing knowledge.
Bang—!
A golden shield unfolded before me.
[What now? At this rate, we’ll run out of resources.]
Blocking the finger bullets and beams flying from all directions, Yumir asked nervously.
[Against such a demon—]
[It’s close to infinite.]
Click.
[For example.]
I turned the club back into a gun and aimed it at Gyo Berris.
[Using an ability they can’t replicate.]
Using an ability that even the devil of omniscience can’t comprehend, one that can’t be acquired through the accumulation of knowledge.
[I have seven magic bullets.]
I pulled the trigger.
One, two, three.
Creating holes in the shield and intercepting the finger bullets.
[Six bullets will hit the targets.]
I fired the magic bullets again.
Four. Five. Six.
The bullets pierced through the heads of three avatars.
[The last bullet will penetrate the demon’s heart.]
To the devil of omniscience.
[I am the sniper of magic bullets. Come forth, Angel of Death.]
I used the power that reached only the ‘result.’
The seventh bullet, which was guaranteed to kill someone.
[Execute. Samael.]
