YM778.TV Chapter 176: Officer VS Leader
Officer was currently busy shooting monsters with his guns, each bullet dealing up to 50000 damage, meaning that he could easily take down a swarm of them without any issues.
His guns adapted to his surroundings and feelings. see NovelBin,em,pyr for more
At first, he could only summon pistols, but after reaching level 30, he gained the ability to transform them into Uzis, dealing less damage but giving him more speed and a faster shooting rate, also his \'bullets\' are made out of aura, so as long as you give him time, he can shoot infinitely.
It was a rather unique ability, and it was obvious that the stronger he got, he would be able to upgrade his guns into shotguns, snipers, and maybe even rocket launchers.
"Phew~ that\'s done for," he wiped his forehead after taking care of five [Dungeon Lizards] and three [Blood Mouth Bats], each dying after around 4/5 shots.
In terms of strength, he was obviously weaker than Stark, but when it came to taking down enemies precisely and fast, he was way better than the other boy, who could only use his fists.
"…" even when fighting against a [Chain Cyclops], he did struggle slightly more than Stark because of its high defense, but once he figured out that its eye was its weakness, he shot a dozen bullets at it and it died.
"THE FINAL BLOW!" of course, the cyclops used its final attack, but…
"FULL PRECISE MOVEMENT," he used one of his legendary skills, and a trail of aura behind as he parkoured right behind the cyclops, shooting its neck a few more times to make sure it died.
~BOOM~
\'…\' Officer shrugged as he was surrounded by the golden aura and then the level up prompt appeared before him.
[Officer: Level 57]
Stark was obviously not the only one able to level up, so of course all the others had also gained some levels since coming here, although it was also pretty obvious Stark was the most motivated out of them all.
\'Need to watch out for all those criminals…\' he mumbled as he clearly remembered the text above Yuri and Akira.
Officer had the [Police Judgment] skill, which helped him identify good and bad people, something he had acquired solely thanks to his high sense of justice, and all he wanted was to put all criminals behind bars.
A golden scale would appear above their heads, and if it went to the right, surrounded by a crimson evil aura, then it meant the person was a criminal, if the scale went to the left and surrounded by a green aura, then it meant the person hadn\'t done anything yet.
He used it in this trial to identify all the criminals he would need to take care of later, and for now, that list was: Yuri as he killed Lolia, and Akira since… well… it\'s obvious.
As for Stark… the scale stayed completely neutral, it didn\'t show whether he was good or bad, but that worried Officer even more since he had never seen something like that before.
Plus, when he saw the other crimson Stark, the scale went crazy and dozens of panels appeared around him, stating that it was not just evil, but… [Pure Evil], which was why he panicked and immediately pulled out his guns.
It was also something he had never seen before, even Akira and Yuri had been given the [Evil] title, so why the hell was that thing [Pure Evil]? He didn\'t know, but surely it would be bad…
\'…\' Officer was already pissed because of this trial: it made him seem like a criminal since he was technically a prisoner of the Lucullus prison, but he was probably the most righteous out of all these people.
But of course… being a hero of justice or righteous doesn\'t mean anything in the [Domination Trial].
And so when he took a few steps after assigning his skill points…
~FWISH, VIOUM~
He sensed something behind him, and when he turned back… he saw a giant green snake rushing in his direction, its mouth big enough to swallow him whole.
The snake was floating in the air, and its body was completely made out of green aura except for its eyes and teeth that were white…
\'A human created this,\' Officer immediately sensed something was wrong and avoided the attack by ducking under it, resulting in the giant snake to explode against the wall behind him.
"REVEAL YOURSELF… LEADER!" he instinctively also knew the culprit.
"…" and as expected, Leader, the sect leader looking guy with his long black hair and green robe that hid his feet swaying lightly, that robe of his had a giant snake drawing behind it resembling the one he had sent.
"Should have known instantly," Officer didn\'t hesitate to pull out his guns and point them at Leader.
"…" but the other party didn\'t even speak, instead he just sighed, "I truly wanted to send you away with the less amount of pain possible, but… it seems like you have chosen the hard way."
Leader raised both hands, and the air around him started to ripple. The snake reformed on the ground and began to grow, elongating its body and increasing in size until it was as large as a whale, it slithered gracefully across the ground, ready to strike.
As guessed, Leader didn\'t have any kind of weapon, instead he used summon-related abilities, and his only summon was the \'snake\', which is why his cult worships these very same snakes he creates.
"GUN DISPLAY!" Leader summoned four pistols behind him, they were floating in the air and all of them had a blueish aura, aimed at Leader, "SHOOT!"
~PIOU, PEW, SHOOT~
All six guns shot dozens upon dozens of bullets toward Leader, whose expression didn\'t even budge.
"Snake Shield…" he calmly mumbled as he lifted his arms up, summoning another serpent that formed a circle around Leader, creating a transparent barrier that none of the bullets could break through.
And then…
"Serpent Restrain…" he raised one of his feet, then swung it upward.
~FWISH, BIM~
And two very small snakes came out of the ground beside Officer, then began to slowly bind the guy by restraining his legs.
"…SHIT!" Officer stopped shooting his bullets as he aimed them at the snakes, this was very bad news for him.
But this was already over…
"Snake Fury…" Leader pointed at his opponent, and the giant snake that had been resting suddenly got up, launching itself toward Officer, who couldn\'t move because of the small snakes restraining him below.
"…" he turned his head in the direction of the giant snake and saw its mouth opened, ready to swallow him: it was a terrifying sight as the aura of the snake was everywhere, and it was almost as big as the hallway, its white eyes leaving a small trail behind.
No matter how many bullets he shot at it, it wouldn\'t disappear.
And so what had to happen happened.
~FWISH, NOM~
Officer was completely annihilated by the snake, and when the giant mouth closed on him, he received enormous damage (even with the domination aura blocking most of it)
"-67382!"
"Cri…mi…nal…" Officer slowly pointed at Leader before falling, his body destroyed from the aura and teeth of the summon.
And so, Officer obviously died.
[A participant has been slain by another player!]
[6 participants remain!]
"…" Leader\'s face stayed neutral through all of this, and he just snapped his fingers to make all his summons disappear, leaving only the destroyed body of Officer on the ground.
He had gotten his reward after all… who would be his next target?
