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.

As for the Defenders and Mephisto’s subordinates, anything standing before him was like paper, not even worth a strike. They did not delay the shot for even an instant, and the power of the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s shot did not weaken at all.

This time, Mephisto seemed like he saw the light. Then, he vanished from this world like light, not leaving any traces behind.

Faust went with Mephisto. Although he knew he could not help or change anything, he still shielded Mephisto.

Honestly speaking, Chen Heng envied Mephisto for having such a good friend like Faust. Speaking of which, this was strange. A psychologically twisted person like Mephisto still managed to have a stalwart friend like Faust.

Chen Heng performed a double kill. Actually, he had not wanted to kill Faust. After all, Faust had a sound mind.

After penetrating the many Defenders and killing Mephisto, the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s shot did not stop but continued forward like a laser beam. This was the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle at its maximum output. How could it be stopped so easily?

Of course, this was not Chen Heng’s limit, merely the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s. After firing, the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle could no longer bear the stress despite being capable of automatic fire. The barrel was already blistering and giving off white smoke.

After killing Mephisto, the shot pierced several buildings before flying far away. Even Chen Heng did not know where the bullet would go.

“Mo-monsters!”

“That’s too-too terrifying!”

“How ridiculous…”

Chen Heng ignored the chaotic Reunion members. Instead, he looked in Crownslayer’s direction.

“I say, Crownslayer, do you want to try too?”

If not for Crownslayer being the daughter of Kal’tsit’s colleague, Chen Heng would have already shot her the first time he saw her. This was the benefit of connections, even though the relationship was not harmonious in this case.

“Quickly, leave! Those under Mephisto should leave too!” While Mephisto did not see his subordinates as people, Crownslayer was a good boss. When she retreated, she did not forget to bring her subordinates.

Of course, even if Crownslayer had not said that, Mephisto’s and her subordinates would not have wanted to remain. After seeing the buildings collapse after the shot went through them, not a single person wanted to expose themself to Chen Heng’s sights.

“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.
