Chapter 46 46:Dungeon Exploration[5]



Lucas ran his mind at full speed thinking of a way to help which does not implicate him or place him in any dangerous situation. He stared at the storage ring wondering if the things could be used.

'Can it help?'Lucas bit his lips wondering if what he was thinking could help as he doesn't want to mess unnecessarily and make the matter worse.

Hardening his heart, Lucas nudged Morgana a little to draw her attention.

"I have a way. Can the leader strike down the mountain troll in a move if we draw its attention for a moment?"

"What?"

"No.... let's not do something stupid?" Morgana dismissed Lucas's words rightly.

"Just listen to me first."Lucas pleaded and explained the plan.

Esper and Angus, hearing the whisper, turned around to listen to the plan which astonished them. Morgana after hearing the plan gave Lucas a skeptical glance.

"It's absurd. Guns won't do anything. Do you think a gunshot wound damages more than my magic spell? Are you underestimating my magic power?"Morgana spoke coldly, feeling her pride wounded.

"No...No.."Lucas waved his hand to deny Morgana's words.

"This gun is different from others. It had a range of 80 meters and had great accuracy. Even if the mountain troll had thick skin, its eye layer wouldn't be thick, would it?"Lucas asked curiously, wiping his sweat.

He did not know about it. If its pupil turned out to be as tough as its skin, not only was he going to become a joke, but he would also put theirs and his life in peril.

"You are saying you can hit this troll's eye," Morgana muttered after a sudden realization.

"Bullets are small and would easily enter the eyes but can you shoot with that much accuracy."

"How good is your aim?"Angus asked with bewilderment.

'My aim is good as a blind person.'Lucas thought but he did not need to say it.

The gun was designed by him and modified by James. It was nothing fancy but an advanced version of a rifle with better accuracy.

Each bullet cost 500R and Lucas only had three bullets. So, he had to make the shot worthwhile. That's why for additional support, he asked James to make a telescopic scope whose aim conceded with the trajectory of the shot bullet.

"Before I shoot the bullet, I need two things. First, the Mountain troll should be facing in our direction and second, Sister Morgana please use your binding spell on it. Even if it's useless, it would surely annoy it. Getting out from tangled vines is not as easy as it sounds. However, the plan would only be successful if Captain can take down the troll in one shot."Lucas discussed the plan step by step thoroughly without getting impatient.

Meanwhile, injuries one after another piled upon Aaron. He had already used three healing potions however healing potions do not replenish stamina fully. Aaron never imagined being trapped in such a situation so he had not brought stamina potions otherwise he would have already found a way to kill the monster.

Meanwhile, the mountain troll movements had become sluggish. Its chest was heaving up and down. The power behind its attack was lacking when compared to previously.

Except for the wound on the shoulder which was healing rapidly and a clot had already formed, it was in a better state compared to Aaron.

Aaron, who was distancing himself, heard a voice coming out from his earbuds used for communication in the dungeon.

"Aaron, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Morgana."He replied, distancing himself from the troll.

"Aaron, we have a plan to deal with your mess."Aaron's lips twitched. From Morgana's angry tone, he could feel that she was accusing him.

"Yes, I can deal with him in one blow. I have something that can kill it but I need to gather my strength.''Aaron responded positively to the plan.

Aaron leads the mountain troll so that it will be facing in the direction of the forest.

'Lucas, I hope you succeed otherwise we would be in deep shit. I promise to give you a bonus if you hit the mark.'

......

Setting the long sniper rifle, Lucas made sure it was working fine. Worrying whether the firepower would be enough, he looked at Morgana and asked"Can you cast an acceleration spell on this?"

Morgan blinked her eyes with a surprised expression.

"Will it work? I have never seen anyone apply that spell in an inanimate object."

"I think it will work," Lucas faked his confident expression.

People use this spell to support their team and none have ever applied it to any object.

Rose had used acceleration spells to increase the momentum of her arrows which worked. But whether it will work here or not was another matter.

Morgan nodded and placed her hands over the sniper rifle. A magic circle materialized in the air which passed over the sniper rifle.

[Festinatio]

Lucas pulled out a metallic bullet with a highly sharpened tip. On hitting the target, it emits a small current. Lucas loaded it in the chamber and signaled Morgana to begin.

Waiting for the suitable moment, Morgana closed her eyes and started chanting. Her body shone with a greenish light.n0VelUsB.c0M

[Vine blessed by Goddess of Land.

Please heed the call of the needy.

Sprout and help me to block the enemy]

[Vitis Magico]

Morgana shouted. under Lucas's bewildered gaze.

The Mountain Troll who was swinging his club aimlessly stumbled as the land underneath his foot cracked.

Greenish vines shot from all directions and wrapped all over its body out of nowhere. The vines tighten their hold as if trying to crush the Mountain troll.

"HeeeKkkkkkk!"

Roaring in anger, he swung his arms, tearing the vines up. At that moment, a beam of light shot and struck the golden forehead. The sharp end of the bullet touching the forehead flattened like a soda cap, unable to penetrate an inch, and then burst out with an electric shock.

Though it was not hurt, The Mountain troll was taken by surprise by the sudden shot.

40 meters away, Lucas panicked about missing the shot and cursed. His hands were already sweating and shaking.

Everyone's life depends on him now and he can't afford to miss again. No, he was not allowed to miss. Lucas, who had never felt such a burden, tried to calm himself and spoke faintly.

"I can do it...no, I have to do it."

"I will do it."

With a trembling bullet, he loaded another bullet.

His pupil contracted and his eyes never left the scope, his concentration reached the point that everything except the mountain troll started to fade. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, stared motionless at the eyes of the troll.

Tears leaked from his eyes and his golden pupil shone brightly.

Calming and taking a deep grasp, Lucas pulled the trigger.

TANG!

An empty shell shot out from the ignition chamber.

Sparks flew from the entrance of the rifle muzzle and with a loud bang, the bullet transversed the distance within a second.

The sound of the shot had not even ceased and before Mountain Troll could react, his right pupil popped like a balloon spurring blood.

The bullet got stuck inside its retina and did not go further but it already did the damage.

''Khykkkkkkkkkkkkk!"

A booming noise filled with pain, loud enough to tear the eardrums and make ordinary human eardrums bleed, resounded.

The Mountain troll groaned and covered its eyes. Its mind was filled with confusion and even before it could react to the pain fully, its back tingled with an uncanny ominousness.

Covering its face with its huge palms, just turning around, through the gap of his finger he saw a huge arc of blue light descend on it.

Aaron with a huge arc of aura covering his axe, hovering in the air stared down at him and shouted with fury.

"Direeeee!"

Swiss Shhh!

A huge arc cutting the troll moved ahead cutting the ground and leaving behind a deep crevice.

It moved further for 30 meters and then dispersed into nothingness.

Lucas who stared at the scene with awe heard a loud chime that broke him out of his reverie.

[Your profession in marksmanship has reached the beginner stage.]

[You have contributed to killing a 6-Star. You have gained 80,000 points]

Lucas stared at the two notifications with disbelief.

'Why haven't I got these contribution points when Frederick killed a boss monster?'Lucas muttered and his eyes widened as he saw a reminder below the second notification.

[Contribution points can only be given when the difference between your and the enemy's rank is or above 3 realms. The experience points given are according to the contribution you played.]

"We did it!!"

With a squeal, Morgana hugged Lucas almost suffocating. The soft sensation on his back was quite pleasant but before he could enjoy it, the tree branch broke due to the sudden movement and they fell from the tree emitting a shrink cry.

'Damn, one day this bad luck of mine might get me killed just by walking on the road.'

......

"Wulullllll"

Whistling pleasantly, a man drew out the curtain letting the gentle rays of light pierce the darkness.

On turning around, the gruesome sight of bloodied corpses scattering around with a man sitting in the middle reflected in his eyes.

Joining his hand, he closes his eyes taking a saintly stance.

"Amen!"

"God in the next life please give these people some brain."

"Hallelujah!"
