Chapter 348 - Pain Delivery
I did not make a gun that can be this destructive in mind. What I just wanted to make is a gun that can hold more bullets compared to the normal gun. But it seems my luck is quite good for the results to happen to be this good. Well, it's not a negative thing but I at least don't want things to be this easy but it wouldn't hurt to have it as an extra weapon.
BOOM!
The Greatsword of the Dullahan landed on the ground, trying to hit me. I managed to immediately dodge, allowing me to gain a big distance from the guy. Since I already ran out of bullets, I started reloading but compared to the reload time of the ordinary gun you can find in this game that is made by NPCs and dropped by monsters, the gun I made allowed me to reload at a much faster rate compared to the reload time of the gun form of my Versatile Weapon.
The Dullahan is already carrying the sword back on him and started to charge straight to me. Since his health is already on the last straw, it started to exhibit berserk symptoms but it hasn't gone straight to go on the berserk mode just yet.
"Time to die!"
BANG!
The armor of the Dullahan exploded the moment the bullet I fired hit his chest The Dullahan slowly disappeared the moment I killed it and some drops fell after its death. I didn't bother to check what was dropped as there is nothing significant dropped in just a single glance. Nothing that fancies me catches my eye on the status after killing the guy and the amount of EXP I earned is pretty much a minuscule amount.
But there is nothing for me to brag about it, after all this monster is at a lower level than me and yes, although it's not that huge of a gap we have in levels, this boss is not what I am inspecting my real sights for. Sure, I already determined its power based on the results I got from breaking the mini-boss but my real target is the final boss as that boss is currently at the same level as me.

Outside the dungeon, players are currently waiting for Bladeheart to go out of the dungeon portal he entered. And while waiting, everyone is talking about the incident that occurred earlier and how the situation ended as quickly as possible.
"If you have arrived here sooner, you would have seen how badass his weapon is. In just one pull of the trigger, BANG! Everyone is dead!"
"I heard he pulled out a minigun and let them eat a bullet rain..."
"No, no. I heard he pulled out a rocket launcher!"
As gossip keeps on getting weirder and weirder, the rumors about the incident get really hard to believe in too. However, not all did not believe the rumors. After he heard the rumor, Kazuki immediately left the guild work to the Vice Leader of the guild to rush straight to the area where Bladeheart was last seen.
After his humiliating defeat due to the works of Bladeheart during the Battle For Blood, he can't get over the fact that the reason he was defeated is due to that bastard. Sure, the Immovable Holy Knight is the one who managed to kill him but he is not confident facing her. As someone who struggled against her and got helplessly killed from her skills, it was wise to not seek revenge against her.
However, Bladeheart didn't have any flashy moves that would indicate his danger. He might be good at battles but that doesn't mean he is immovable just like Sigma. In fact, he should be the one who should have fought against Sigma in the end. He was the one who dealt much bigger damage against her compared to Bladeheart while Bladeheart only grasp the chance when she is now in much bigger trouble and killed him while he is distracted fighting against Sigma.
"That little bastard! He will pay for everything that he has done for me. He will pay for all the humiliation he just inflicted on me. If not for him, my father wouldn't be so disappointed in me!"
While Kazuki is currently thinking about revenge, Bladeheart just currently passed on all the traps and other monsters on the way and is now ready to tackle the final boss of the dungeon.

"Ho...boy, that is much more trouble than I thought it would be."
I managed to clear out the massive horde of mummies after defeating the Mini-Boss. Since I only made a few bullets for the gun, I didn't go guns-a-blazing there to get rid of them and had to go through the fodder magic sword as my weapon of choice. Since the weapon is not as strong as the Versatile Weapon, it took me a bit longer to defeat all of them. It is still as easy as it should be but the clearance time to kill the enemies is not as fast as when I did use the Versatile Weapon. I am afraid I get more dependent on the Versatile Weapon than usual and I don't like the sound of that.
Still, it was good that my skills with ordinary weapons did not diminish much and I can still produce quite satisfactory results from the battle alone. Not as much but still results. Now that I annihilated the final hurdle to reach the final boss, I needed to prepare for a bit. Since I can't rely on my companions this time around, my battle style will have to be a run and gun.
The final boss this time is an agile bastard. Compared to the slow enemies earlier but hit really hard, this guy is a combination of super-fast enemy plus super duper strong monster capable of unleashing multiple combos of attacks on you that will sometimes lead to very serious consequences.
The enemy is not as tanky as the Dullahan but it was compensated by its speed and its ability to have a high dodge rate. Due to its high dodge rate, this boss is quite perfect to test out the main capabilities of the [Rapid Gunfire] and determine how it will affect the performance of the nameless gun to its performance against enemies.
Checking all of the bullets, I only have around 120 bullets left. Since I only do precise shots and not burst shots and most enemies just die in one single bullet, I still have plenty of bullets left behind. I know that this gun has destructive power but the number of bullets I have is a bit worrisome. Sure, it was plenty but was it plenty enough to defeat the next boss? I know that I will be wasting quite a lot of bullets in the process from missing the shots but I don't mind and this would be a great practice too for my precision. If I want to use this gun in the future, my precision shots should be good to go and not get reduced to being a crap shot on using the gun.
After preparing the potions on the quick slot and preparing the rest of the bullets into the bullet magazine ready, I made sure no monster is left crawling or still aiming for me in the distance before I approach the final boss room's door. There is only a puzzle blocking the door and since I already solved this before in the past timeline, it didn't take me a few hours before I managed to solve it. It took me a few minutes to solve since there are some parts that I needed proper timing before I proceed to allow me to take a bit longer on solving it.
CLACK!
THUD THUD BOOM!
The gears and mechanisms of the door started to turn and due to the old ruins of this place, the sound is very rusty in the ears, and a bit gritty to keep listening into.
Soon, the door has fully opened and a dark stairwell appeared before me. In the past timeline, this stairwell is meant to confused players by putting other players in an illusion and will cause them to fight their teammates due to the illusion. The main tactic was to not fight anyone you meet and continue walking. There are no monsters on the stairs and even if you kill the illusions, you will not earn experience but instead, the hatred of other players since the monster that you have killed might be perhaps one of your teammates.
It was an illusion to make every player fight each other despite having no reason to fight with each other. This is the main tactic of the boss. However, since I was alone right now, all of those illusions cannot proceed since I am the only one. However, it is a cunning monster. Knowing that it will only face against a single enemy, it will spell to be an advantage to the monster.
However, perhaps, I still have some pain to deliver to the boss.. Its showdown time.
