Chapter 179: Enigma’s Gunslinger

“How the heck did I get assigned to the weakest squadron!? This doesn’t make any sense, I was one of the members that aided our boss in the asura raid. Why! Tell me why,” Kyo was confused by the results of the team to which he was assigned

Apart from him who gained a ton of contributions. His teammates were either physically weak or their levels weren’t on par with the aces within the mercenary group. This led to him receiving a punch that appeared in his blindspot that originated from Quon who was irritated by his complaints

“Would you shut your mouth!!! What part of a stealth mission can’t your brain even understand? You’re running your mouth as always thinking that you’re better than everyone else. It’s not like I expected much from someone that’s half an animal~” Before she could say another word, she blocked an attack with the use of her mana. Creating a shield that blocked Kyo min soo’s awakened fist from ever reaching herself

“Guys!!! Like I’ve said before, this isn’t the weakest squadron you’re the only ones who acknowledge it as the weakest. I’ve told you this before, but if your pointless quarrels get in the way of our mission, so help me!!! You’ll never forget what im about to do with the two of you once im done,” Lillith appeared in the middle of their quarrel where she didn’t take anyone’s side. Apart from these two opposing minds, their team was in rather a stable condition

Gaust was in charge of scouting the area whilst Lillith acted as their mediator when a conflict would arise. Having the two of them at his side, Zeke was able to make do with this squadron even though there were a few troubles in his ruling. He was able to perfectly cover their tracks and hide in plain sight, using the tunnels as their only exit and entrance. They began their way into the mission that was assigned to them by their leader

[I’ve never seen you as a player who’s benefiting to be a leader, I thought you wanted to be a support? Since there isn’t much that you can do when your talent is within the gunslinger class. Apart from that, I’ve always here your complaints when you try to compare yourself with the rest]

’Goddess, im not sure what you’re saying I’ve already left that past life of mine, in any case, why are you here? Didn’t you say you’ll only appear when you need me to do some mission or request? I don’t think I need to focus on your presence, since this avatar of yours will die if we ever get caught,’

Zeke ignored his deity and proceeded with his role as their secondary scout. Where he searches their surroundings with the help of Gaust. A few meters away from their team lies a bunch of players who belonged to the guardians. Their objective was simple yet hard at the same time, their squadron was chosen for one purpose. And thats was to annihilate the small number of players that were dormant in the farthest location

“Crap… There are too many for the two of us! Gaust we need to head back to call for reinforcme~” Before Zeke could even finish his sentence, Gaust jumped forward to launch a surprise attack from below

[System: The player Gaust Frizzleight has lowered the seal placed within his body. The curse of the wendigo that haunts his body has reappeared from the world. Causing the player to manifest an insatiable hunger along with an increase in his strength]

“Augmentation, mana circle release,” His hands quickly shift to that of a monster that empowered his strength along with the transformation of his legs. He shredded his enemies one by one and with his mana circle, he was able to lessen the effects of his curse. Though strong he may be, the players in front of him were too many for his current strength to overcome

“Guide my bullets when it leaves my side, activate Eye of accuracy!” A few rounds of ammunition were instantly fired from Gaust’s back, it was fast as it was powerful. The bullets were imbued with mana which increases their speed and raises their penetration. Calm and composed with every pull of Zeke’s trigger was followed by the movement of his eyes

“Zeke… Watch out they’ve found your location!” Gaust’s warnings were far too late when he was then ambushed by a group of players who intended to end his life. He responded by shooting another round after he finishes reloading his revolver

“That’s not gonna work you, shitty gunslinger,” With the player’s high-performing agility that helps them avoid his shots, they underestimated his worth. As the players close their distance to his body, Zeke pulled his trigger unfortunately his bullets were easily blocked by their shield

[This is bad! Quick activate my blessing… It’s not too late for you to avoid this crisis]

Zeke smiled at the worries of his deity, he already knew that a situation like this would’ve occurred. But instead of following the words of his deity, this rebellious avatar wasn’t that helpless to use such a limited use blessing

“Graaaaah!!! My arm! Something pierced and severed my arm!!!” Before one of the player’s weapons would reach the surface of his body, a loud and screeching scream appeared from one of their own. Along with a major reveal, one of their arms was severed by something traveling at an incredible speed. Their speed couldn’t even comprehend what occurred in front of their eyes. But as soon as they saw Zeke’s big and menacing smile, they finally realized that their end was about to arrive

[System: The player Zeke Croft has activated the skill called [Trigger happy]. The player will gain an increase in his firing speed for any ranged weapon that isn’t a bow or a crossbow. Making it possible for a player to easily fire a rain of ammunition in an instance]

“Eye of accuracy was already a broken skill that I’d obtained from Grim the gunslinger If paired with my precision. A skill that allows me to further enhance my aim, then I can easily calculate my bullets trajectory. My skills might not be on par with Grim, but I kind of grasp one of his deadly moves, Ricochet hell,” The other bullets that previously misses their target had arrived to strike the back of his enemy with double the speed and power

The amount of kinetic energy that builds up from the tines his bullets left his gun. The dozens of times it rebounds from one surface to another. All of the things that occurred in his favor, made it clear that those players stepped into the deadliest trap he had ever laid. In response to his attack, they lost their cool and immediately tried to attack his body, which only ended with another bullet piercing their body. By the time he activated the effect within his revolver along with his active skill in play

He manages to pull off a sight that even his deity couldn’t find a reason to believe the growth he had achieved. In each second that passed, another bullet was fired and it ricochet its way to his enemies. Encircling his entire area with the bullets he had fired, the mana-imbued bullets created a peculiar glow. This shows the speed his bullet had accumulated and continuously grew faster until it finally hit their mark

“Zeke are you okay~” Gaust entered the scene with his body tarnished by the blood of his enemies. He sees a sight that even made someone like him frozen with just a single look. At his front were a dozen corpses filled with an abundance of holes that originated from Zeke’s bullets. Disfigured, shredded, and torn into a lump of meat, he couldn’t even distinguish their previous form. And at the center of this fiasco stands his temporary leader who’s looting the corpse of his victim

“Gaust… Sorry for the wait, I was a little preoccupied on my side, by any chance do you need some help? Are you perhaps witnessing any irregularities in your condition? I’ve heard from our captain that your curse is somewhat a pain for your to endure,” Once he notices Zeke’s unchanging attitude even after he killed so many people on his side. Gaust quickly regained his composure and his frozen body eases itself

“I’m fine, after master visited me not so long ago, my curse isn’t bothering me in any way possible. I didn’t think he’ll gain a demonic eye that assisted with my curse, but that’s enough on my side. Do you need some help with all of that corpse? Must be pretty hard to loot them by yourself,” After a few minutes had passed, their teammates were impatient by their long-term disappearance. Making them do the unthinkable and followed their tracks, only for them to see the two ransacking the enemy player’s corpse

“Oh, you guys are here? Sorry for making you wait, we got into a troublesome situation. We’ll continue our match as soon as we clean every single corpse after that loot them all. Lillith didn’t you have a chimeric spawn? Can you call them out and command them to eat those corpses over there? If they aren’t able to consume it all, I suggest that Quon chants a fire attribute spell,” One of their task was to clean the mess they created, in hopes that they wouldn’t be detected as they progressed

[System: The Huntress Of The Night wants to give you her name. Do note that having a deity’s name will allow you to perform [Manifestation]. This function allows the avatar to call forth the power of the deity he/she has contracted. This will only work if the player currently activated his/her blessing whilst invoking the deities name]
