“Uwoooooo!”
Leeha was not able to stand still and wait in such a situation. The fact that the newly appeared cyclops stood still while using magic was no different from asking to be killed.
“Panzer Faust”
Bang——!
Luger, who was firmly heated, fired another cannon shot, but only rocks were destroyed. The Cyclops’ magic casting was much faster than the Three Musketeers thought. It was an evasive maneuver that magicians skilled in combat could do. If it was in a normal situation Leeha would have been left making fun of Luger, but they were in an urgent situation.
“Damn it! What is that? They are not on the level of Crolang, they appear to be stronger than Crolang!”
“At least he didn’t use magic!”
Leeha and Kidd’s bodies flew once again. A huge rock flew towards the spot they were just before.
Boooom!
Boulders the size of trucks flew in at a breakneck speed and crashed down. If they collided with each other, they would have enough destructive power to not leave any trace.
“Kyahahaha-! Grilled humans, barbecue!”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
“Don’t be too conceited!”
New energy gathered in the horn of one of the cyclops. Kidd didn’t miss that chance. Befitting of the title [Rapid fire], his panning fired once more. Six bullets were fired within a second, all of them flew precisely towards the cyclops’ eye but failed to reach them.
“Kuwaaaaaaa-!”
It only dug into the flesh covering the cyclops’ eye with a puk, puk sound. Luger’s muzzle pointed toward the hands covering the eyes.
“You’re useful sometimes, cowboy.”
“Don’t pretend you’re cool, just hit it quick-”
Luger pulled the trigger with a light smile.
Baaaaaang—!
The aftereffect was so strong that Kidd, and Leeha next to him flinched, but unfortunately, the shell did not hit either. The horn of the cyclops flashed, and the giant figure disappeared in an instant.
“No way! It could cast magic with its eyes covered? How does it read the timing?”
Leeha thought its more ridiculous than the shivering Luger. They knew how ridiculous it was because the three people were experts in the shooting. Just now, its timing was perfect. The perfect gap between action and inaction, that was where the shell went to!
“Does that mean it was from reflex?”
The best result they could get was Kidd’s bullet hitting their marks. The reaction of the noble demos was beyond imagination.
“Kuwoooooh-!”
“Dodge!”
The follow-up attacks, which did not even give them a chance to be surprised, spurred the three of them apart again.
Puk-! The dust rose again.
‘Cough, is this Bluebeard’s strengthening power? It’s so different from when I saw him with Crolang!’
“This will be your first and last class with me. Watch and learn. Understood?”
Browless’ loading was faster than Kidd’s. In an instant, he inserted bullets into the revolvers, his body flew to the left, and pulled the triggers on both hands. Twelve bullets were fired in the moment when his body was in the air before he even touched the ground.
With a tatatang- sound, one of the cyclops’ horn broke.
It happened in a blink of an eye.
‘Twelve sounds......?’
Leeha thought he heard wrong, but the expression of Kidd next to him said otherwise. It meant that even if it was shot in that short gap, there was not even a single error.
“Kuwaaaaak-! I won’t forgive you, the horns- count- gave me!”
Kung, kung, kung!
The cyclops, with its broken horn, ran without hesitation and raised its club. And that wasn’t all. Light flashed on the horns of the other Cyclops. Another cyclops was waiting with a rock in his hand as it moved to grab and strike Browless’ back. It was like a series of attacks by someone who had nowhere to run or escape to.
“You should have been suspicious when the horns flashed the first time. You should have assumed it was a new monster when I said it wasn’t an ordinary Cyclops. It’s a monster that uses magic, how does it use it? where is the source of magic? and how long is the time between spells? What is the range of its magic? Besides blinking and shooting lightning, what other magic could it use? You should have tried to figure all of those out.”
Even while watching such a situation, Browless did not rush to speak or move his hands. He calmly reloaded, but his speed was still faster than Kidd’s.
“To use a skill as soon as you see it, Luger-kun, you still have a long way to go. With that attitude, Bluebeard’s staff will pierce your neck.”
“Uwoooooo!!”
Hwaaaang—!
Browless watched the club swinging through the wind until the last moment.
And at that moment, he took a leap, ran toward the Cyclops, stepped on its thigh, and took another leap, raising his altitude.
It wasn’t flight magic nor magic to walk through air. Browless trampled on the body of the massive monster, raised himself up, straightened his arms, and aimed at the Cyclops’ face.
The Cyclops, who had lost its balance, was unable to correct its posture quickly.
“Indeed...... if you approach like that-”
“-does that mean you can prevent the other cyclops from attacking? Keep the enemies at bay. B-but, if you don’t know the characteristics of the monsters-”
“I think that’s what I said. You must not move without a full understanding of the enemy. Also.... the three of you should not rely on your skills, but to figure out its weakness with only knowledge and experience.”
Fernand received the admiration of Kidd and Leeha. How did he do that? They couldn’t even ask. Although he was an NPC, Browless proved that it could be done.
“Most importantly.”
Tatatata.......
Every time Browless’ finger moved, a hole appeared in the Cyclops’ face. Out of the 12 bullets, those that pierced the eyes exceeded five. Because of their structure, where their brain was connected to the optic nerve, it could never survive. Browless swapped revolvers as the Cyclops fell. He put the empty guns into the holster and took out the ones that were still loaded, and moved his hands again in a ‘falling backward’ posture. The target was the Cyclops who was waiting with a rock. In an instant, bullets pierced its forearms, tearing through tendons.
“Kihaaaaaaat-”
“Noisy, one-eye.”
Hwirik, he kicked the Cyclops in the knees and landed on the ground after rotating his body. Even Luger couldn’t keep his mouth shut at his movements, which seemed to be calculated from the beginning. Browless ran toward the Cyclops that was in pain, reloaded, and broke its horn just by shooting while running. After that, he waited for the guys who couldn’t control their excitement to do something wrong and calmly put a bullet in their eyes. It appeared to be a simple repetitive task. As if removing eyeballs from a doll, Browless popped the Cyclops’ eyeballs.
“Secondly, you should think about the difference between attacks that work and attacks that don’t work. If you tried to figure out when they could use magic, you should have been able to do it quickly. Their horns respond when you use your skills, and when there’s a risk of the eye getting hit. Isn’t it simple? They only got hit when Leeha fired and Kidd panned. Both of them were attacks that failed to target the ‘eye’ accurately.”
“For sure......”
The only successful attack was by Leeha, whose click adjustment was misaligned, and Kidd, who was firing rapidly with an unstable aim.
Both attacks were normal attacks, not skills, and were attacks that failed to target the eyes.
