Book 4: Chapter 36: The Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s Limits

“Damn it! Defenders and my flock, shield me! Casters and Snipers, attack!”

“Leave the defense to us.” Ace and Nearl stood in front of Chen Heng, holding their shields upraised.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

Chen Heng nodded in gratitude. However, even without them, his attraction barrier would prevent any attack from landing on him.

Charging...charging...charging...charging...charging...

Visible electric light coalesced on Chen Heng’s Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle while Ace and Nearl blocked the surrounding attacks.

The attacks of the others were fine, but Faust’s attacks placed tremendous pressure on the two. Fortunately, Shining’s Creed Field and Nightingale’s Sanctuary allowed them to withstand the attacks.

[TL Note: Creed Field increases the defense of all allies within range as well as the user’s attack. Sanctuary expands the user’s range and increases the user’s attack and the Resistance and Arts dodge of all allies within range.]

The other Rhodes Island members took advantage of Ace and Nearl blocking all the attacks to run for cover.

Twenty seconds. Chen Heng charged his attack for 20 seconds. He had not even used this much time when pulling down a meteor. For the meteor, he merely worked on changing its trajectory.

During these 20 seconds, nearly all the Reunion Defenders and Mephisto’s subordinates moved to shield him. This made him feel very secure, but he was still somewhat unsettled.

Actually, it was not just Mephisto. Even Nearl and Ace, who were protecting Chen Heng, felt startled at the intense energy fluctuations from the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle as it charged up.

Boom!

The loud report made everyone flinch, covering their ears, especially Ace and Nearl, who were beside Chen Heng. The report of the gunshot reverberated throughout Chernobog.

As the bullet emerged from the muzzle, a 50-centimeter-diameter beam of light shot out from the sniper rifle.

“Hey, hey, hey! Why are you all looking at me? You are making me feel somewhat embarrassed.” When Chen Heng joined the Rhodes Island members under cover, everyone looked at him with a strange gaze.

“This is preposterous! The power of your shot is just preposterous! It completely surpasses everything we know about Snipers,” the shocked Amiya exclaimed, sunk in immense shock.

“No wonder Kal’tsit told me you can rival a catastrophe. Although it still seems a little ridiculous, the strength you showed could classify you as a human-shaped catastrophe.” Dobermann agreed with Amiya’s shock.

“I say, it’s one thing for Amiya and Dobermann to be shocked. Doctor, why are you looking at me with such a strange gaze too? Although you are wearing a hood, I can tell. Didn’t you say a seven-star operator should be able to pull down the sun and moon or pluck stars?” Chen Heng glanced at Doctor.

“No, no, no. I’m not shocked at your strength. I was just thinking of gathering materials for you and giving you an Elite promotion.” Perhaps Doctor’s train of thought turned slightly strange because of her amnesia.

“Huh? He can still be strengthened?” The shocked Amiya had not recovered her senses yet.

“Of course. As long as I strengthen my sniper rifle, my sniping strength will increase correspondingly.”

“Very good. Amiya, there’s a person called Kal’tsit, right?”

“Yes.”

“When we return, ask her if we can empty our coffers and push He Who Knows Fate to Elite 2.”

“...”

Kal’tsit, what do you think?

Kal’tsit: What do I think? Based on what I saw on the livestream, this suggestion will never fly. Never.

By the way, Kal’tsit, you said the equipment you buy from the store is very practical, right? If I really gather these materials, can I go through Elite promotion too?

Kal’tsit: Logically, you can. Others would use these materials to strengthen their weapons or equipment. If it is you, you should be able to use these materials together with some points in the association’s store to strengthen your weapon.
