472 472. Oak King Subjugation




 Grabbing the whip, I thrust the muzzle loaded with growth bullets at it.

 I can't spend any more time since I knew that that instant-death-class attack was coming, I'll take it down as fast as I can.

 Click.

 A dry, non-dropping sound could be heard.

 Click, click.

 That's the sound of a cylinder spinning and a hammer firing empty.

 I was puzzled by my inability to fire, and the Orc King, in that split second, pushed me out of the way and pulled out his whip.

 I'm out of range, pushed out to the mid-range, which is my opponent's (whip) specialty.
 A wrenching whip attacks.

"d*mn!

 He checked the gun while dodging the tip of the whip by jumping sideways.
 I don't see anything unusual about the gun or the bullets.
 However, when I pull the trigger, no bullets come out.

 While evading, I quickly give up on the growth bullets and reload the regular bullets of the same nature and fire continuously.

 The bullets were shot out all at once.

 Half of them were repelled by the whip, but the remaining half hit the Oak King.
 Regular bullets would work, then I thought of a quick attack with this.

 The other half is loaded with reinforced bullets to increase the power of the others, leaving one normal bullet.
 Increase the power and put in one shot--

 Click.

 There's the sound of another empty shot.
 As much as I thought I could do this, my reaction was delayed and I ate the whip hard.

 When I take one shot, I take a bunch of hits in rapid succession.
 I quickly fire a series of recovery shots and forcefully escape from the attack.

 I looked at the gun, I knew there was nothing strange about it.
 What's wrong with not being able to shoot, though?

...... No way.

 One possibility occurred to me, and I pulled out the reinforced bullets and used only regular bullets.
 Pulled the trigger, the bullet was shot out safely and flew into the Oak King.

 I can only take one round of reinforced ammunition, this one was also tried.
 Two rounds loaded, still firing.
 Three rounds - I can't shoot anymore.

 One shot out, two shots out, and I can fire again.

"No more damage, no more cancellation.

 I'm starting to get it.
 I also tried using the blue flame bullet, which is the main reason for its high firepower, but I couldn't shoot it.
 On the contrary, I was able to shoot the iron wall bullets and tracking bullets without any problems.

 The straitjacket also shot without any problems and stopped the Orc King's movement.

 It's a special ability that nullifies or cancels things that cause a certain amount of damage.

'...... Repetition is in danger too.

 I smiled bitterly while taking a pause.
 Repetition, a magic that instantly kills a monster once defeated.

 It's the strongest magic, but depending on its nature, there's a possibility that it won't work.

 If it's treated as a status abnormality system, just like the straitjacket, there would be no problem.
 However, the so-called '9999 (must)' damage and '100%' damage are in danger of being trapped by the large damage and being nullified.

Oh no, oh no!

 It may or may not work, but that's a long way off.
 Right now, we have to kill the enemy in front of us.

 Weak damage works, if you're weak, then.

 I shot myself with an accelerator round first.
 I dared to use vanadium bullets, but they accelerated without any problems, or rather, entered a pseudo-time-stop state.

 I approached the Orc King, who had stopped moving at all, and shot the Orc King all over his body with steel bullets.

 He created a wall of steel bullets from up and down, left and right, from all directions.

 And time begins to move.
 The wall is slowly closing in, and the Orc King can't move at all.

 Jittery, jittery.
 The Orc King was squeezed - and in the end he collapsed with an ear-splitting scream.

 What a large number of items dropped in the place where the Orc King was.

 First, a ticket.
 Two of the exact same tickets that had called out the Orc King had been dropped.

 Then gold.
 All kinds of banknotes and coins were dropped, about tens of thousands of pirou in total.

 Finally, there was one ring among them that I had never seen before.
 There was a rainbow-colored light emanating from the ring, creating a pillar of light that pointed straight at the ceiling.

 I picked up the ring and stared at it.
 It must be some kind of equipment with special effects.
 I knew from experience that it was a sure thing.

 I tried the ring on for a test run.

'Huh?'

 An uncomfortable feeling that arises in the body, a feeling that, somehow, I'm losing strength.

 I take out my portable now board and try to use it, but it hasn't changed with full capacity SS.

 Is it my imagination? So I thought, "Well, let's just try it out," so I loaded up a round of ammunition and shot at the wall.

What is this?

 To my surprise, two bullets popped out, even though I had just fired one shot.
 The power was weaker than usual, but two bullets clearly flew out.
