62. Gunsmith’s Counterattack
Hyunseung Lee aimed the gun at his chest and fired.
“Wh… what…!”
In an instant, the hall started to become noisy.
Artemis guild leader Yoo Han-beom, deputy guild leader Bae Ki-young, blacksmith association president Tak Woo-hyeon, and many other people were silent.
Yuhanbeom thought to himself.
‘What are you doing? Did I give up the game?’
It was incomprehensible that he fired a gun into his heart himself. Unless he made up his mind to give up the game, why on earth would he act like that?
However, soon after seeing the green smoke rising from Lee Hyeon-seung’s heart, Yu-han-beom quickly noticed.
‘Recover from abnormal status?’
Originally, the healing magic effect that only wizards could use was blooming on Lee Hyeon-seung’s body.
‘That bullet…’
It was a bullet with a status recovery effect.
***
The gist of the case is as follows.
Immediately after the match started, after the team members left him and moved to the occupied area, Hyunseung Lee, who was left alone, checked his production slot.
– [Waiting time for crafting the ‘Resentment left by the Knight of the Beginning’ item is 00 hours:59 minutes.]
‘too long’
The ‘Grudge left by the Knight of the Beginning’ artifact was no different from a device that allowed him to control Han Seong-gil’s [Berserker] trait. It was no different than a key artifact to win this match, allowing Han Seong-gil to make a big impact if it was created quickly. However, if there is a problem, time.
‘Can I last 59 minutes?’
The pistol is equipped with a 30-round magazine by default. This is because guns and magazines are treated as a set, and in the case of gunsmiths, one set is paid as a basic weapon. However, I thought that I would not be able to survive a long time of an hour with just normal bullets.
‘It might work if I try my best, but there may be variables.’
The main thing is not to fight anyway, but to escape. Also, since the percussion will be fired one at a time only when it is really dangerous, you don’t need a lot of bullets. It was natural. Lee Hyeon-seung was in an individual position to fight against the majority, so he did not think of confronting him head-on. But no matter how much I thought about it, I was anxious.
‘Yoo Hee-yeon might have done something again.’
Right now, even in the F-Class representative selection match, it was Yoo Hee-yeon who tried to interfere with Lee Hyun-seung by bribing people with money and bringing external artifacts into the stadium. It was a reasonable decision to think that he would do strange things in this match as well.
Yoo Hee-yeon will probably do anything to win this game. However, if there is a problem, it is impossible to guess the trick or the dirty trick.
Therefore, it was necessary to reduce the variable.
– Are you sure you want to cancel the [Grudge left by the Knight of the Beginning] item? If canceled, the crafting orb is returned.
When Lee Hyunseung waved his hand, the item production was canceled.
– Crafting of the [Grudge left by the Knight of the Beginning] item has been cancelled, and the crafting sphere has been returned. You can start crafting items again at any time by breaking the crafting orb.
Soon after, Hyunseung Lee quickly started making bullets.
– Do you want to craft [Magic Attribute Magazine – 5 rounds]?
The default number of bullets in a magazine is 33. However, if you make it whole, it will take too much time. Therefore, Hyunseung Lee minimized the number of bullets in the magazine to reduce the production time as much as possible.
– Production of [Magic Attribute Magazine – 5 shots] begins. Item creation dash time is 10 seconds.]
As a result, it was possible to produce magazines in a very short time. Lee Hyeon-seung produced several useful attribute magazines, starting with the magic attribute magazine. It didn’t take that long to make all the items. This was because the magazines were all filled with five rounds.
‘This is enough to prepare for unexpected situations.’
He wanted to produce more magazines, but Lee Hyun-seung decided to hold back.
‘If you delay any longer, the Class A guys will immediately charge into the occupied area. If we fight with the same number of people, we’re at a disadvantage.’
Lee Hyeon-seung thought so, and finally produced one more magazine.
[Healing Magazine]
▶When using the magazine, the bullet has a healing effect.
▶The recovery effect is applied in proportion to the job grade and job level.
▶As an additional effect of the legendary gunman, additional abilities such as [Heal status], [Health], and [Wound recovery] are created.
▶It is a magazine equipped with special effects.
▶Special Effect [Transformation]: The shape of the bullet and magazine is transformed according to the firearm being used.
▶There are 5 bullets.
The bullets inside the healing magazine have a healing effect. So, if you get hit by a bullet, you don’t get hurt, you get a healing effect.
These healing magazines are basically difficult to manufacture, and generally only heal chafing or minor cuts, so gunsmiths often do not use them even if they have magazines. However, in the case of Lee Hyun-seung, it was different.
It was because [Legendary Grade] had a huge additional effect, and it could not only recover from abnormal conditions, but also heal stamina and serious wounds. There is no flaw in comparison with the potion, no. Rather, it was safe to say that it had an even greater effect than the potion.
‘This amount of bullets is enough.’
To be honest, it wasn’t enough. However, I thought that if I used the things I had just made, I could somehow survive an hour.
Lee Hyeon-seung again broke the sphere of production that he had previously left out.
– Start producing the [Grudge left by the Knight of the Beginning] item.
– Item production waiting time is 01 hours: 00 minutes.]
And again, I started making the grudge item I was trying to make earlier. It was a bit of a waste of time, but it would be better this way.
Lee Hyeon-seung thought so, and installed the basic magazine.
[shabby magazine]
▶ It is a shabby magazine with no special features.
▶ A total of 33 bullets are loaded.
Then, he stretched out his hand high into the sky and fired a bullet.
-Taaang-!
Gunshots resonated in the sky, and Yoo Hee-yeon’s gang started chasing Lee Hyun-seung.
***
-Taaang-!
Hyunseung Lee used the skill to escape Yoo Heeyeon and Class A. However, without the help of an epic weapon right away, Lee Hyun-seung needed mana to use the skill.
Chosen as a means to replenish mana is to chew on ‘magic stones’. By eating the magic stone, he was supplied with mana and was able to move at high speed using the gunman’s exclusive skill, but soon one of the side effects, [Paralysis], came.
‘There is no need to panic.’
Hyunseung Lee quickly changed the magazine and fired the gun into his heart. It goes without saying that Hyunseung Lee used [Healing Magazine].
– You were hit by a healing bullet.
– A recovery effect is applied.
– Low HP is restored.
– [Status Abnormality: Paralysis] will disappear.
– Wounds on the body heal quickly.
– Rapid breathing restores stability.
“f*ck…f*ck…that bastard shot himself in the heart…?”
The members of Class A, who had been watching from a distance, were hesitant to approach Lee Hyun-seung’s bizarre behavior. [Healing Magazine] is a very inefficient item for general gunsmiths. So few people used it, and few people knew about it.
Therefore, the members of Class A can only think that Lee Hyun-seung’s shooting at his heart was self-inflicted. They couldn’t keep their mouths shut at the geometric and brutal-looking scene, but before they knew it, they began to come to their senses when they saw the green light flowing around Lee Hyun-seung.
“You’re recovering right now-! Wake up right now and attack!”
Yoo Hee-yeon was the first to notice the abnormality. As soon as he saw the healing energy flowing from Lee Hyun-seung’s body, he made a decision. I don’t know how, but Lee Hyun-seung played a joke on the bullet. However, when I realized it, it was a little too late.
-Tadadadadat-!
It was because Lee Hyeon-seung was crouching down, then got up and ran away in an instant.
“Catch it! Or at least shoot magic right now-!”
Yoo Hee-yeon shouted as if she was in a hurry. Then, a fighter rushed forward and struck.
A man wearing knuckles. The man was waiting for the unforeseen situation, shrinking his body and waiting. It means that he was watching Lee Hyun-seung’s movements with the eyes of a predator aiming for food.
Thanks to that, the moment Lee Hyun-seung shows signs of moving. I was able to run towards Lee Hyun-seung one step faster than Lee Hyun-seung.
-Tadadadadat-!
The man started running like crazy. Lee Hyeon-seung had just woken up from his seat, so he hadn’t gained momentum yet. The man was sure that he had caught Lee Hyun-seung.
“A rat bastard. Caught…”
The moment the man grabs Lee Hyun-seung’s collar.
-Clap-!
Within a short time of less than 0.5 seconds, the sound of the magazine being changed was heard, and soon a chilly energy began to emanate.
[Magic Attribute Magazine]
▶If you use the magazine, the bullets will be enchanted.
▶The power of magic increases additionally according to the job grade.
-Wheek
Hyunseung Lee quickly turned around and aimed precisely at the man’s shoulder.
The man wearing the knuckles just laughed as if it was absurd.
“Looking at you messing around with your basic weapon, you look like you want to die, don’t you? Wake. You’re a gunslinger, you bastard, you must have lost your sense of reality after taking out a few f*ckers at the F-class varsity trials, but what the f*ck can a bum who always came in last in practice do…!”
Lee Hyun-seung shows extreme concentration. He ignored the man’s words and pulled the trigger.
-Taaang-!
Then, with a tremendous sound, bullets with Magi were fired.
“uh….?”
-Pushwook-!
A man who thought he was the best in close-range combat, and who prided himself on being an excellent fighter. There was a huge hole in the man’s shoulder.
