"Sorry, I can't help you! The correct history should be you stopping Camille. No doubt you have this ability!" said the image of Feliciana Number 14, shaking her head calmly while still encouraging me to keep fighting Camille.

I don't know why she's still insisting on this nonsense at such a critical moment. Besides, what's the difference if I defeat Camille or if she does it?

"But it's impossible for me to win! Camille has absorbed too much power from Earth's Battle Qi. You should know this, right? Do you think I can beat her with willpower?"

The situation wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I really couldn't do it! Camille had reached or even surpassed the peak level of all demons in history.

I collapsed on the ground again. But hearing this made Camille even more suspicious.

"What's going on? Who are you talking to? Is there someone else hiding here?"

These strange things finally made her lose patience. Camille grabbed me off the ground and threatened me with an ultimatum:

"I'll ask you one last time! Do you agree to my deal? You have nothing to do with this world anyway. Why force me to take action? Isn't it better if we all get what we want and go our separate ways?"

I could tell she really wanted to cooperate with me. Even now, she hadn't tried to kill me. But after asking this question, it would be hard to say...

I couldn't help looking back again at the image of Feliciana Number 14, still sitting on the ground smiling at me. I could only grit my teeth and answer:

"Sorry, not interested!"

"You..."

This time Camille was truly disappointed. She raised her right hand, gathering a ball of pitch-black energy in her palm. Just as she was about to strike me down, she suddenly sensed something behind her. Her whole body froze in place.

"See, the reinforcements have arrived," said Feliciana Number 14 with a playful voice.

I tried to look past Camille blocking my view. Finally I saw two fully armed figures in the bright light at the end of the corridor!

"How can it not matter? Humans on Earth worked so hard to build such a brilliant civilization. Of course I won't let you demons destroy this world!"

The newcomer was Adrian. He had finally arrived from IAA headquarters, his body covered in ammunition! But I was completely surprised to see Franklin, the gang boss who had been clamoring to follow Adrian as an apprentice, right behind him.

What could an ordinary human do in a battle of this level? And how did Adrian allow him to come along?

"You two think you can show off by popping up here?" said Camille.

Of course she wouldn't fear two humans appearing before her, even if one was a rare Battle Qi Awakener.

But when she turned and saw the weapons they were holding, she couldn't help but ask in a very strange tone:

"That thing, I think it's... a Gatling gun?!"

Obviously, there were no Gatling guns among the weapons brought from H-country. The only possibility was that Adrian had seized them from inside IAA headquarters.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Master, it's amazing! I never thought I'd get my hands on such a legendary weapon, and to use it against the demons of lore!" Franklin spoke up first from the back. Even seeing a succubus in the flesh for the first time, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, his face showed extreme excitement!

At the same time, the gun barrels in their hands began to rotate and warm up. Though they hadn't fired yet, flashes of white light could be glimpsed deep inside the muzzles.

"Demon-slaying... bullets?!"

It was too obvious. Camille recognized them immediately. But she had only ever faced demon-slaying arrows with light magic attached by mages before. Enchanted bullets were a first.

"Feliciana, get down!" Adrian roared a warning.

I gathered all the strength I had recovered and kicked forward with all my might.

Camille, whose attention had already been drawn away, was caught off guard and I broke free from her grasp. My whole body fell straight to the ground, then rolled to a corner.

In the next second, the gun barrels began to roar violently! Metal shell casings flashed with residual light, carrying large amounts of heat and gunpowder, jumping out of the guns in an endless stream, hitting the ground with crisp clanging sounds.

Normal Gatling guns are known for their strong firepower, but they're clearly not enough to deal with an opponent of Camille's level. However, Adrian the Battle Qi awakener was skilled at adding various special effects to arrows. The demon-slaying effect added by Battle Qi was far beyond what ordinary light elements could do. Now he had simply replaced arrowheads with bullets!

"Damn it, the power is so great!"

Each bullet that hit the enemy would explode in a dazzling white light. Although Camille was hit quite a bit, it couldn't cause fatal damage.

But judging from her reaction, a certain degree of pain and bleeding was unavoidable.

"Hahaha, that's so cool!"

Even the huge gunfire at the scene couldn't cover Franklin's crazy shouting. I hadn't expected that ordinary humans could play such an important role at the critical moment!

It could only be attributed to the continuous output of the two demon-slaying Gatling guns! Even a demon above the seventh level couldn't come up with an effective countermeasure in such a short time.

After all, unlike the pure magic attacks before, Camille's once proud dark element barrier couldn't do much against the strong kinetic energy carried by the bullets themselves! But she wasn't willing to just turn and run away. All she could do was rely on her speed advantage to dodge around, hoping to take as few hits as possible while looking for an opportunity to strike back.

I carefully stood up against the wall, afraid of being hit by stray bullets, and took advantage of this precious time to speed up my healing. Suddenly I noticed the image of Feliciana Number 14 walking slowly towards me through the hail of bullets, while reminding me:

"You should understand that although Adrian's appearance has taught Camille a lesson and bought some time, this kind of offensive can't last long. Once the bullets run out, everything will return to square one!"

"Then what exactly should I do?" I couldn't help but sigh and ask her.

I knew that of course. I'm just a pawn! Since she's unwilling to help, I can only rely on myself.

"You've just switched to the blue wing state. Do you remember the method I taught you?"

Seeing a bullet fly through her forehead without any hindrance and head straight for Camille, Feliciana Number 14's image disappeared without a trace, leaving only this sentence in my ears.

So she just ran away? I almost jumped up in anger. But looking back, Adrian and Franklin were still helping me suppress the target, and the Gatling gun barrels were already starting to turn red, showing signs of overheating.

With no choice, I turned around, took a deep breath, and aimed my palm at the moving Camille in the distance.

The so-called method refers to the conversion between matter and elements, which to some extent can also be seen as reorganizing external material elements. In a broader sense, it means changing reality.

This is a unique ability of water angels. Feliciana Number 14 had taught me quite a few related techniques and tricks before. But once it involved controlling and calculating huge amounts of elements, the only result was dizziness.

After all, without her miniature computer, I couldn't reach her level by myself. But now I was being forced to use this move against Camille. Could I really succeed?

"Pour all your mental focus into the target matter you want to control. At first, you can try using your own water magic as a carrier to modify its material element composition. Yes! Just like how you used to convert element types, except this time the target is no longer free energy, but much denser real matter. If you get good at it, the next step is to control external water elements to achieve this effect..."

These were all contents I had already memorized, but I hadn't even truly completed the first step before.

But under the current situation, my goal was only to cause as much destruction as possible. If I only needed to destroy matter and break it down into elements, skipping the subsequent complicated steps of reorganizing elements into matter, the pressure was much less.
