Chapter 202 New Titan Sniper!

'A Wyvern?!'

Jacob felt his scalp tingle in trepidation as he slowly backed away and only stopped after he was completely out of the entrance's view.

Jacob finally understood why those spiders didn't dare to wander on this path. It was because of that sleeping Wyvern!

His expression was as grim as it could get while he mused, 'What a Wyvern doing in this place? Weren't they in just folklore, or shouldn't exist in rare plains, right? Could it be this thing is the guardian of this place? It's most likely the case.'

A wry smile appeared on his cold face, 'How could it be so easy to complete a trial? Moreover, from the Wyvern color, it should be a Fire Wyvern. From folklore, Wyvern belonged to the branch of the mythical Dragon Race, and their scale color represents their element.

'Even in my world, Wyvern is as famous as Dragons, and they consider it a lower evolution of a fully-grown dragon. I wonder if this is true in this place as well. Damn, I never thought I would miss that damn book so much. Only it could confirm if this thing is even Wyvern or not!'

Jacob calmed himself after a while as his eyes shimmered with uncertainty, 'Let's forget about the Wyvern or whatever that thing is. Since it is sleeping, then it means it is oblivious to my presence yet.

'I have to figure out what condition this is. Since I can't understand the runes written there, I have to guess before taking any action.

'A crown hovering above a statue head, probably of a female. A crown can easily synonym with a King's dignity since, without a crown, there is no true king. But that female head could also be seen as a Maiden.

'The remaining conditions are, Destroy the Dignity of the King and Give the Maiden Hope. If I destroyed that crown, would it result in the completion of the first or second condition? Or what if that crown is supposed to go over that statue's head?'

The more Jacob mulled over it, the more he felt he was missing something, and he knew that the riddle on the wall was what he was missing.

Then there was still that sleeping disaster which would definitely not remain sleeping if someone tried to approach the crown or clear the condition.

'What to do? Try assassinating that sleeping thing?'

Killing intent flashed past Jacob's eyes as he knew it was a rare chance to sneak attack that Wyvern, and once it was gone, he could try to study those murals since they were also there for a reason.

'But what if my bullet didn't pierce through that Wyvern's skull? It would only antagonize it, and it might go on a rampage, and I would be like a trapped rat in these corridors unless I can outrun it….' Jacob's mind raced as he contemplated his options.

'Or I can draw those dark beings into this passage by explosions and let them fight with this Wyvern. But if this weren't a Wyvern and only some weak creature, then I would have to deal with those high-level dark beings, which would be even more difficult.

'They might've already discovered the position of another condition, and if they find a way to clear both of them, then all my effort will go down the drain…' Jacob inhaled sharply before resolution shimmered in his icy cold eyes, 'Well, without risk there is no reward, let see if I can slay a Wyvern or not with this new Titan Sniper!'

The next moment, Jacob approached the corridor again, and when he was only a meter away from the space, he stopped.

He flipped his hand, and a three-meter-long, three-legged sniper stand appeared in his hands. The legs of this sniper stand were 1.1 meters thick each!

Without making a sound, he set it right where the entrance was, and the Wyvern was in clear view. But its footing was still shallow, and Jacob didn't want to take the risk of digging because of the sleeping Wyvern, so he had to do with it.

The next moment, a two-meter-long sniper body appeared, which was pitch black with a dark gray trigger and sniper grip. The sniper's body was even larger than him and as wide as him.

It literally looked like a freaking cannon!

He then carefully set the rifle body on top of the stand and then locked it with those locks, and only when it was completely affixed did he take out the barrel!

The barrel was five meters in size and as thick as the barrel of a tank but far more refined. He then carefully assembled the barrel before taking out the final part, a multi-hole muzzle two meters long.

This new sniper rifle had cost Jacob his entire fortune; he even had to sell the star watches to create this beast. This rifle was far deadlier than the old titan sniper rifle he created in the common plains.

Furthermore, he can't shoot a bullet from it while holding it because of the terrifying recoil. That's why he needed that stand which was also made with titan iron.

He had made it to hunt Extraordinary-Tier-6 beings from a far distance, but he never thought he would stumble into dark ruins.

Now, this Wyvern was blocking his way, so he had no choice but to take out this Titan Rifle, and since it was sleeping, Jacob was even more confident in killing it with a single shot from this close!

Jacob didn't need to set the scoop as he stood behind the large sniper rifle, held the grip, and took the shooting stance while he eyed the sleeping prey without breathing.

After adjusting it a little and when the muzzle perfectly aligned with the Wyvern's closed eyes, a large black magazine filled with ten bullets appeared in Jacob's other hand.

The bullet was completely black because it was made with titan iron and a special gunpowder crafted by Jacob. The bullet size was 40 mm Caliber, which was literally a cannon bullet!

He only had five more such bullets except those in the magazine, and each bullet cost him 500 million in gold coins!

Jacob then slowly attacked the magazine and loaded the bullet with a cold click.

At this moment, Jacob's heartbeat started to climb at an insane rate… 1X… 3X… 6X acceleration!

At this moment, his skin was bead red, and veins bulged all over his body. Even his eyes went bloodshot. But his breath was as calm as a lake.

The next moment, Jacob's finger on the trigger moved!

The Wyvern, who seemed to be in a deep slumber, suddenly opened its reptile eyes and instantly locked on the muzzle. It felt its life was threatened all of a sudden!

It had opened its eyes just at the right time because Jacob had pulled the trigger, and despite entering 6x acceleration, he felt his shoulder bone break and the stand just barely able to do its job.

However, his eyes didn't leave the target!

The Wyvern couldn't even react, and the bullet was already upon him!

'Splash…'

With wide open eyes filled with confusion and daze, it felt a thunderous pain in its head before that pain faded as well as the light in its sights.

There was a huge hole in its skull, and crimson blood was gushing out of it with its brain matter.

'Boommm…'

A sonic boom suddenly rang at this moment. Despite the suppression, it nearly blasted half of the corridor!

Jacob was barely able to hold his ground because of the 6x acceleration.

Despite the trickling blood from the corner of his lips, a hint of a smile was apparent on his face as he looked at the dead Wyvern, which he slew in one headshot.

But when he looked at the hole in the skull and that instantly fast bullet failed to blast its head off or pierce through its skull, he felt chills.

Because this means the scales on this guy's body were far more resistible and harder than he had imagined, and that bullet was able to kill it because of its speed and rare titan iron.

Or if he had used a common titan bullet, he might only put a scratch on its head!

Nevertheless, since the creature was dead, it no longer mattered.

Jacob then focused on calming down his heart rate, but that broken shoulder was making it hard for him to focus as he was on the verge of entering 7x acceleration.

Then he had no choice but to take out the only 100-milliliter vial of rare titan tears he had managed to create with the reaming titan iron. He then consumed 10 ml as he finally felt warm energy start to fill his body, and the pain started to subdue.

After an hour, he finally calmed down, and his shoulder was more than half-mended. He then ate the reaming meat he had of crock snake and was able to move.

He first disassembled the titan rifle and stowed it away. The entire rifle covered too much area of his pendant.

Then he finally moved toward the Wyvern with burning eyes as if he was looking at a feast!
