The Gatling gun fired wildly, and every now and then, golden light streaked through the darkness.
In fact, these golden “tracer” bullets were the real attacks.
The bullets were all imbued with faith value, which Luke used to kill the more troublesome-looking monsters.
For example, Pyramid Head was shot in the chest and head the moment it appeared, and it fell to the ground along with the four-legged monsters and monster dogs.
Several humanoid monsters which looked like gibbons had their heads and chests blown up by the golden bullets.
The people whom Cybil had killed at the very beginning, as well as the ghost kids who scuttled around in the shadows, were shot dead with regular bullets.
A bunch of nurses charged over holding steel pipes and all sorts of other objects, and Luke’s gaze paused for a moment.
Looking at the tight nurse uniforms, he couldn’t help but wonder if these were special actors that had been invited over.
Not only did they have full, round thighs, they also had big, white breasts.
With his keen sight, Luke could even see the black veins under the gray skin.
This… was too much of an eyesore. Thinking that, Luke turned the gun in his hand and directly blew up these nurses.

They didn’t have faces, after all, and looked like toads! In this world, looks were everything.
Gunfire rang out nonstop as the monsters charged forward. For a moment, the two parties were at a deadlock, but Luke had already come to a conclusion in his heart.

Although there were a lot of monsters, the threat they posed was limited.
To a certain extent, this proved that Alessa’s strength was limited.

The threat would be bigger if all these monsters turned into Pyramid Head.
On top of that, Alessa couldn’t suppress the Gatling gunfire.
Luke had discovered something interesting about her control over this world.
Just now, the Gatling gun had shut down for a moment.
But Luke instantly protected the gun with Telekinesis and continued firing.
After Luke spent several hundred credit points, Alessa clearly gave up on this tussle.
Clearly, Luke’s credit points weren’t that “delicious.”
Even so, Alessa might’ve been able to use the rules of this world to restrict the bullets’ range.
But she still didn’t do so.
Maybe it was because it wasn’t worth it?
The world in front of him was only half-real, but in the end, it wasn’t completely separate from the physical plane.
It was like how some ghosts couldn’t survive if they were thrown into magma.
If the town was nuked, the mental energy field would be reduced to ash.
Alessa’s control over this world was finite. She wasn’t a “god,” or she would’ve been able to crush Luke.
Whether she succeeded or not, this was at the very least a very simple and feasible plan.
But she didn’t do this.
So far, she had only tried to stop Luke from leaving this world and stop the Gatling gun from opening fire.
This reminded Luke of his own mental abilities, which consumed Mental Strength.
Different mental abilities consumed different amounts of mental energy, but it was impossible that it was inexhaustible.
That was probably why Alessa wasn’t using the mental energy field to deal with him.
Naturally, she was unwilling to use so much of her mental energy.
Moreover, Luke had escaped once before coming back, and had destroyed her first doppelganger – he had left a deep impression on Alessa.
She had wisened up, and was using a monster horde to slowly wear Luke down.
This was actually a very good strategy.
Luke might look relaxed now, but that was because he had a cheat.
If it were anyone else, they would’ve run out of ammo much earlier on.
Once they started fighting, the team would be doomed.
In fact, the monsters that had been riddled with bullets recovered very quickly. They got up and charged forward, getting ever closer to Luke.
Since Alessa was using a crowd tactic, Luke naturally followed up… with a cheat.
He used his inventory to switch between two modified Gatling guns in turn, opening fire while reloading the other and letting it cool down. He wasn’t under any pressure for the time being.
Ever since he had the A.I. program, he no longer needed to waste time worrying about reloading.
At the same time, he observed the monsters’ resistance to his faith value, and silently came up with a counterattack.
Five minutes later, Victoria sent Luke good news. “The type and maximum number of monsters have been confirmed.”
Luke asked, “What’s the maximum number?”
Victoria said, “In the earlier battle, the maximum number of monsters was 1,376. We don’t know if the other party is holding back. Sir, please be careful.”
Luke said, “Okay, then let’s play it safe and go with a figure of 1,500. Ready, go!”
As soon as he said that, he fired continuous streaks of golden bullets.
His faith value dropped rapidly, each bullet worth 50 faith points. He killed the strongest and most resistant monsters.
In three seconds, more than 50 of the strongest monsters were hit. They exploded before they could even scream.
The monsters around him froze.
Luke didn’t stop shooting.
Now that he had basically run out of faith value, he immediately enchanted the bullets with 30 credit points each.
In five seconds, another 100 stronger monsters were cut down to join their fallen comrades.

Alessa finally realized what was going on.
She was just a little demon who was obsessed with revenge and didn’t have any professional combat experience.
So, her thoughts had been thrown into disarray by the first counterattack.
Then, she immediately made her second mistake by getting the remaining monsters to dodge the bullets.
Luke, on the other hand, wouldn’t make such a basic mistake. He fully unleashed the transcendent, divine-like power of the Gatling gun, and golden light filled the sky as it flew at the monsters.
Dodge? Given the firepower from the Gatling gun and Luke’s extremely swift reflexes, the monsters had less than a 10% chance of escaping.
“Ahhh!” A furious and resentful cry rang out in the air above the town.
The girl appeared not far away from Luke. “I’m going to kill… huh?”
Swoosh!
Luke flashed in front of her from 100 meters away.
At the same time, he infused his telekinesis with credit points, and golden light shot out to instantly pierce the girl through her wide open mouth.
The girl’s resentment turned into shock, then anger. “You d*mn…”
Bang!
Before she could finish, her body exploded into golden light like the monsters and disappeared.
System: Destroy the second doppelganger of the evil spirit, Alessa. Mission accomplished.
Luke shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, there were more than two of them.
In the worst case scenario, Alessa might have more than three doppelgangers.
But killing Alessa wasn’t Luke’s top priority.
His number one goal was to obtain a list of her abilities. He was probably halfway to his goal?
That was because there was a huge difference in each doppelganger’s abilities.
Luke felt that this probably had to do with each doppelganger’s own character and not because the abilities had been divided between them.
For example, the clone of Stu, who had been the original owner of this technique, had been knocked out and killed, but the system didn’t treat that as defeating him.
It wasn’t hard to understand why Alessa’s doppelgangers had different names.
