185. Wired all-range attack




 Cobalt Dungeon, first basement level.
 I dove into the dungeon to figure out my new powers.

 I checked out the outside of the dungeon, but I knew there were some things I wouldn't know unless I was in a real battle, so I came here.

 I added another gun to my arsenal.
 For an extra fee, I paid to have another tuna sent directly to me, made it a haggle, and had the gun dropped.

 Now I have four pistols in my possession.

 The zombie demon showed up.
 Two pistols, all loaded with conventional ammunition, fire in rapid succession, and the monster's upper body turns into a beehive.
 I let go of the handguns, and two other handguns came into my sight, so I took them and fired more continuously.

 A barrage of gun exchanges.
 The revolver's continuous firing power originally surpasses that of a machine gun if used by a skilled person, but reloading takes up a great deal of time.

 Leia's reloading with the arm, and the continuous firing with it, lightly exceeded the continuous firing power of the machine gun.

 It was utterly overkill and took out the zombie demon.

'Good job Leia.
Thank you, Master.

 A voice came from around her chest, Leia's voice as her protector.
 Almost at the same time as she replied, the arm extended and retrieved the chunk of iron that the zombie demon dropped.
 The recovered iron chunk goes straight into my pocket, the Grand Eater's pocket swallowed the heavy, huge iron chunk as if it was nothing.

 I strut through the dungeon as it is.

 It was just a matter of encountering and firing the gun in rapid succession.

 If I censored it, Leia would reload it and give it to me, and Leia would pick up the dropped items.
 It's much more efficient.
 The gun, which no longer had to be reloaded, was so annihilating that it was close to Repetition, and the collection of drop items was faster than any other method I'd ever devised.

 It was the best efficiency I've ever had, I even felt like I had stepped into another dimension.

''Leia, that,''

 He stopped and looked at the dungeon wall.
 Leia's arm reached out and touched it lightly.

 I touched it where there was nothing.
 By my own will, Leia's arm will do exactly what I want it to do, even if I don't say it out loud.

'That's great, Leia,'
Thank you.

 Leia's voice remained emotionless.
 I felt a little sad, but that's just the nature of my personality, so I can't help it.

 The check of what I envisioned was done in full, I was able to move roughly as I imagined, and the results were even better than I had imagined.
 Satisfied with the results, I left the dungeon while talking to Leia.

"Does it consume any wear and tear while I'm wearing it like this?
I don't.
Is there a time limit on how long it can be worn?
'None. As long as I don't go dormant, it will go on forever.
Dormant. Does that feel like human sleep?
Yes, sir.

 I asked a lot of questions that I hadn't asked before, details that I hadn't heard before.
 Because as a master, I want to keep track of every detail.

 And so, as I walked out of the dungeon, I saw Nicholas.
 He's got his hands in his pockets and was leaning his back against a tree, looking bored, when he saw my face, he ran up to me, overjoyed.

'Yo, I've been waiting for you,'
Me? What's going on?
No, man. Let's go fight.

 Nicholas smiled - and smiled a yucky smile.

'Not again.'
Of course. You'll be back to Cyclo soon, won't you? You're gonna have to save up for a fight. You see, I have the tingling sensation.

 Nicholas wiggled his body, scratching here and there like a monkey.
 You're a tricky person ...... I don't mean to be malicious, so it's not a problem.

'There's no word for a fight pool or anything like that. I mean, how many times have you lost already? I guess it would be the same if I tried.
Chitty. You don't understand. It's worth it just to get in a fight.
I don't get it.
And hey, I'm feeling a little different today, all right?
What?

 When I was confused as to what this meant, Nicholas pulled a small glass bottle out of his pocket.
 What's in it is an amber-colored liquid ...... Nicholas is talking about, so it's definitely a liquor.

 He opens the lid and gulps it down, looking up to the heavens.

 I was alarmed. No way is it some kind of potion type!

 The next moment, Nicholas knocked the bottle to the ground and broke it.

'Ka--, dammit!
Go to ......?
"There's some real shit in the new brew, motherf*cker!

 With a snap that I didn't understand what it was, Nicholas punched me in the face.

''--!''

 I was surprised by its sharpness and dodged it on the spur of the moment.
 It didn't hit me, but I almost fell on my ass because of its sharpness.

'Oh my God! You're getting on my nerves, you bastard!

 Saying that, he attacked further.
 It was one rank sharper than Nicholas' previous attacks.
 It was so fast and sharp that he was able to take the initiative and push you down.

''Don't you dare, hit me, chickie!

 Seeing that he swears and delivers an attack so sharp that it is inversely proportional to his swearing.

'Don't tell me you're not going to power up ...... or something because ...... alcohol is bad and irritating.
Stop messing around!

 I thought maybe I was right.
 I thought that might be true, since Nicholas loves old things.

 I took a deep breath and intercepted Nicholas' fist.

 Pow!

 Fist to fist met with a bursting sound that made the hem of my pants chatter.
 Borrowing my momentum, I jumped back once, took a deep breath, and regained my position.

 Then I jumped towards Nicholas.

'Alright, come on!

 I challenged Nicholas to a meat fight.
 I hit him at close range.
 He guarded his fists and kicked his knees into the ground, swaying and ducking a headbutt and hitting him with a summer salt kick to the chin.

 They hit each other with enough force to create a tornado around the two men.

 In the next moment, gunshots rang out in rapid succession.
 Up and down, left and right, bullets shot at him from around Nicholas.

'Yikes, what the hell?'

 It was Leia's arm that I shot at.
 With it attached to me, she extended the arm and shot bullets with four pistols from out of range, out of reach of Nicholas' fist.

 My intention, the unspoken intention to attack.
 It was Leia who took it in and achieved an all-range attack.

 Nicholas scowls when the bullet hits him, but when he realizes it's the arm that extends from me, he says, "You've got a hell of a lot of stuff.

"You've got a hell of a lot of stuff!

 I was in a good mood.
 When Nicholas was in a good mood, that was a tricky one, so I ducked into his pocket while doing more all-range attacks with my arm gun.
 I hit Nicholas with a full force punch.
 He spun three times vertically with a look of amusement on his face and went straight into the ground head first and stopped moving.

'Fufu...... done?'
Are you all right, Master? Is it possible that he is dead?
It's not hard to be dead if you're this close to dying.

 I answered Leia's question with a wry smile.
