Funnily enough, he did not want to find out what my boomstick does.What a shame.That mert quickly stumbles back a few steps before falling over; scrambling to get as far away from me as possible. Something that almost brought a chuckle to leave my lips. Sadly I couldly revel in someone else's fear as I had a facade to keep up and sistency was the best thing for that.“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!” Just when I worried about there not being a fight, finally waking up from their fusion, those fake mercs suddenly came to clear my worries like guardian angels. The bulkiest of the trio even jumped directly into a with his friends not being too far behind. Dashing in front of the pseudo-mert with that rge onless man going even further.Said man reeled his fist back as he attempted to throw that massive fist towards me - unfortunately for him I had learned a lot. Avoiding the blow was far easier than the s of water from that mad master of mine. A simple pivot and I found my revolver resting right under his .And I don’t hesitate.[Heavenly Golden Gun]I felt energy flow through from my “heart”, up my arm and into the revolver in my hand. That heat almost seemed to subtly ask what I wanted of it with me having a few choices with all my attributes. Of course it was limited to my “holy elements” but that was also a factor that made me slightly fused… I sensed a total of “five” options for what I could do.There was a violent ohat preferred to adapt the attack to be more “effit” although I could also feel it melding with another element that seemed simir if also different. While the former desired to copy & adept the tter was just about pure destru without the stability the first boasted. Although stability didn’t mean it was safer since I felt it could easily influehose who e into tact with it.These are likely demonic & heavenly elements thewo bined; just like my mini-master said.Another element was far more sneaky than the first two yet unmistakably held some simirities to the adaptive demonic. Having the ability to do what I imagine regur holy people could do but also use it in iive new ways that went against the iion of the teiques. Such as making healing magiot so healthy.It also seemed to be heavily influenced by the past, specifically my first life, so it reminded me a lot of my mama who always talked about the strength gathered to suffering. In this case it seemed to be quite literal as far as this holy attribute was ed. I’m tempted to say it’s karma sihat is all about what es around goes around. At least I would if not for the final “fifth” element that I didn’t even know how to expin - seemingly its strength had nothing to really do with me. A realisation that made it impossible to know what it actually did as all I knew was that it was there. The fact that I had no idea meant that it was most likely the very same attribute that my teacher had no clue about.Making it karma?Then the one based around suffering must be the “evil” attribute?I’ll simply try the attribute least likely to cause me issues.With my barrel resting against the underside of his jaw, a heavenly element rolling through my body, the chamber of my on began to glow. Causing the eyes of everyog to widen. They seemed to want to shout out to their team mate as he pushed some aura out his body in an attempt to defend against my attack.It wasn’t a bad idea and may have helped if he wao defend against a regur bullet… However, just as I made note of, the heavenly attribute only cared about ohing. Delivering the most devastating strikes that was inhumanely possible while also disc some brand new information about it.Either IYO*He wasn’t getting back up.A shot fired up to the sky with a trail of fming gold following behind causing no shadows to exist within the forest for that short moment. From it came a stream of lightning that was soon joined by the thunderous sound of air rushing back to the brief vacuum made from the power of the shot. Blood didn’t even fall to the floor as any wound made on my target was instantly calcified. As for what injury he had? Well, it was easier to start with what he suddenly found himself g. That being his entire head.His head was gone.Like, there was just a calcified neck, smoke rising from where his neck should have bined with his head as he stood for a few seds. Seemingly his body was fused about what to do. Not surprisingly due to the sudden tragic ck of a brain on at of having his head vapourised. A plus was that this made it surprisingly not as brutal; should help me maintain a image despite the whole killing thing.That body finally realised that gravity still affected it so it colpsed lifelessly to the floor in front of his agape allies. While I was thankful to him for allowio test the new abilities I found myself with heless I was fairly alone in this opinion. “N-NO~!”“She killed him so easily…”“SHIT!”Their reas were hardly anything surprising, though, as it certainly was quite the impressive big of firepower if I were to pliment myself. Although looking down at my revolver revealed the disadvao the heavenly element. Steam rose from my gun as I opened up the on to reveal that it had essentially eaten up all the bullets to peter than the gun itself.“Looks like I’ll also o be more astute with maintenance.” I thought out loud as I pressed the chamber eje while pointing the gun upwards - those empty gs cttering to the ground - as I promptly pulled out an already prepared speed-reloader to refill the chamber. Simple but effective.With the satisfying *click* of the chamber popping bato position - I raised my revolver to point towards the trio who all reacted differently. The you fighter among them was insoble while the more mature girl seemed pletely bewildered at how things turned out. Lastly the mert just seemed angry that his prote died. “Now follow my instrus or die like the bandits you are.” I said while exuding fidence… Because I was fident; even if that one shot took a full 50% of my spirit. Making me feel like shit due to the sudden loss of energy.Spirits are energy based - even if I’m unique in that I have matter attached to my name - I am no different.Although we were more “effit” than humans, who needed several different things to keep themselves running, it wasn’t as if we didn’t feel it wheerally used our life force to pic. It was fortuested such a teique before using it in a more dangerous situation. Thankfully I was strong enough mentally to ighe paiing those idiots be he wiser that I couldn’t just fire heavenly infused golden gun after heavenly infused golden gun.“Bandits? Are you not misuanding this; you’ve just killed a tota-” The mert was obviously the first to recover his wits as he was merely angry. Quickly trying to take trol of the situation when he realised that things were not as easy as he first thought - likely hoping I’d sed guess myself when he brought up the w. All while making “subtle” movements with his hands.Resulting in those hidden “friends” moving about.Obviously I didn’t care too much about the w in the first pce so expeg that to stop me was nothing short of silly. Still I decided to be funny and try messing with them a little bit more; not like they will be seeing tomorrow no matter what. “That carriage was reported as stolen and I am pretty sure you aren’t a lucky owhat mao find it out here.”I couldn’t actually be sure of my cim but I didn’t o be.With my fidence being pitted against the fusion, trepidation and no doubt fear… There was o try much to trick them. Sure enough, the you “came to” quickest of all, the te-teen pulled an arrow from their quiver to aim toward me.It be said who was able to fire faster; he didn’t eve a ce to put his arrow on the b before I put a hole in his forehead.Those idiots hiding iree also sent a flurry of arro; a few fireballs the size of tennis balls at me which would be hard to dodge… BUT GUESS WHAT I FIXED~!“Hehehe~.” A hardlight shield formed around my body resulting in those attacks harmlessly boung off due to the highest level being a mere level 15. At least that’s what I desperately wao say but that shield fizzled out soon after activating it and I merely timed its activation to cide with the arrival of the barrage of attacks. Ironically, if they were less anised, it would have been a rger problem sihe energy requirement for the hardlight shield essentially fried it. Making it a oime use item that o be carefully timed in order to avoid being swiss cheese. The price is also not that of a oime use item.…What was more iing was the fact that the game didn’t bring us into one of those “sub-dimensions” but perhaps there was more o activate it? Wouldn’t be surprising if that mad didn’t tell me all the information surrounding the intricacies of the system. Perhaps it was more location based than that goddess let on? There would be a lot of testing to do iure; I already think of ten variables that will o be tested to ensure my knowledge is pletely accurate.Information is power that be measured in bytes.Regardless… *click*“Time to have some fun~?”
