- Lord Alzur, there are news about the "white".

- Speak up, General.

- Over the past thirty cycles, we have closely monitored our subject. All this time he was hunting local animals. We noticed a strange pattern in his actions...

- What pattern?

- He ate some body parts from every creature he killed. We couldn't understand why he was doing this. His strength had grown to dangerous levels. What do you want me to do?

- If you think he is truly dangerous, gather a squad and kill him.

- Yes sir !

- And one more thing: bring me his head.

- As you order, sir.

***

It's been over a month since I died. And all this time I was hunting for very dangerous inhabitants of the territory of Alzur, that is the name of one of the First Twelve. He represents hunger in hell. On his territory, torture takes place in the form of eternal wanderings through the desert, always affected by the sultry heat and specially imposed feelings of hunger and thirst. Although souls do not need water and food, here they feel the need for it. Kagor told me all this. But one thing interested me: in my world there is a belief in the existence of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and among them was Famine. When I asked the blacksmith about this, he said that such a thing does not exist. By the way, during the first days I worked with Kagor, my suit was sinked with black blood and cut by Friral, with my request he returned it to its original appearance.

All this time the hunt was very monotonous. The creatures didn't pose too much of a threat. They were of greater interest when there were several of them. Kagor sent me to different parts of the wasteland, where a wide variety of creatures lived: giant scorpions, dragonflies, a pair of crocodiles and several dinosaurs. And to my question where they came from, Kagor answered: "They died out and they were redirected here." Somehow disappointing... You lived for yourself, fought for survival, and still, after death, you were assigned to hell.

By eating them I only got an increase in physical parameters. I didn't get any new abilities. Most likely this is due to the fact that I am already quite well-rounded, and the skills I receive are too weak for me to notice them.

- Will there be more tasks?

- No, the local beasts won't harm you anymore. They are no longer suitable for your training.

- Then what should I do?

- Listen... I created something for you without your knowledge. Take it.

Kagor leaned into one of his drawers near the workbench for a second and pulled out an HK G36. An automatic rifle developed in 1997, but still used by European countries. Uses the 5.56x45 NATO cartridge.

- Um, thank you, but since the animals are no longer suitable for me, can I go to Alzur with this machine gun? Are you hinting at this?

- No, first you must defeat his main confidant - General Ward.

- What's special about it?

- You'll see when you meet-

*Bdoom* *Bdoom* *Bdoom*

- What is this?! The whole cave is shaking.

- We were attacked.

Cliché: as soon as they remember about someone mysterious, he immediately appears. This happens too often in books and TV shows, which is very annoying. I bet one 100`000 yen that Ward is waiting for me at the exit of the cave.

- I'll go meet the guests.

- Be careful! You haven't even fought demons, let alone devils.

- I'm the devil myself, chill out.

As I climbed the steps of the cave, I felt several more tremors from outside. Finally, leaving the cave, a small detachment appeared to my eyes, judging by its appearance, consisting of demons, a man stood in front. It looks like a man, but with horns. Is he the general? Yellow military uniform, rather young face. and behind there is a group of greenish freaks. (https://imgur.com/a/VJ4Axu3)

- What do you bastards want?

- Don't be insolent to us, "white", I am General Ward, a faithful trusted servant of Lord Alzur; call yourself, white madman.

If I were in my own world, I would already be a hundred thousand yen richer...

- Reigai Yurei, Gun Devil.

- I didn't see you in the zone registration. Are you new or what?

- I'm not from here. And I'll be short, you're bothering me and I'd like to kill you.

- Good joke, Gun Devil. I have the best demons from my large army with me, you cannot defeat me.

- Shall we check, soldier?

- ATTACK !

The demons behind Ward began to accumulate ZF in the form of attack energy in the tips of the spears they held in their hands. They do interesting jokes, but the accumulation is too slow. The party is getting crazy. Let's rock!

"Friral's Dash"

Hit points: 0.

Number of jokes with spears: maximum.

Having made a run between all the demons at the moment of activating the charge of their copies, I turned them 180 degrees, as a result of which the charge was used on them. There were more corpses in the battle arena... I stopped behind Ward's squad, the general turned to me.

- You move fast enough, faster than any demon. But you can't fight the devil!

I only for a moment felt an explosion that formed half a meter away from me, which tore off half of my body. Having lost my balance, I fell.

Although my body has begun to heal the wound, it takes time, I'll try to chat with this general.

- What kind of attack was this? How did you do this ?

- Surprised, huh? This is my perfect technique. I called it "Free Lunge"!

He's bad at coming up with names.

- Its strength is that I do not control the attack, it simply appears next to the enemy and kills him before he has time to activate the ZF. But I'm surprised that you were only half destroyed...

Thanks to stone skin. Without it, poor Kagor would have collected me piece by piece.

Having regenerated a little, I regained part of my brain, which allowed me to come up with a plan with which I could defeat Ward.

- Don't worry, I still have a lot of trump cards in my pockets that will allow me to defeat you!

- And they will definitely be useless. By the way, for the report I should write down why did you eat the monsters you killed?

- Come closer and I'll tell you in all the details.

- I'm not stupid enough to indulge your desires.

- Then this secret will go with me to the grave. I think your boss will be very upset with this outcome...

- Son of a bitch...

Ward began to approach me. Four meters. this distance is enough.

*2 shots*

Impact point: left and right eyeballs.

- Agh, fuck you! What did you do ?!

- I just formed a pistol out of my tongue and fired a couple of shots, nothing special.

My body has completely recovered.

- Even though I lost my sight, it won't last long. Even if I am blind, it won't be difficult for me to nail you to the wall!

Something told me it was better to run. I made a jerk to the side and an explosion occurred in the place where I had just stood. I started running in any arbitrary direction and a whole chain of explosions occurred behind me. His explosions are tied to me, I simply cannot escape from them! I looked at Ward, he was performing the same attacking technique as his subordinates and it was clearly aimed at me! He fired a shot, I managed to dodge, but how does he do it, he's blind, isn't he? ... Explosions? He navigates by the sounds of explosions and thus understands where I am? And he's no slouch. Perfect exam!

Hm, will his technique be able to kill its own creator? I ran towards him. The moment before I reached him, he jumped to the side. As expected, he won't just expose himself to the explosion, but I won't be able to run for that long either. As I noticed, the abilities I absorbed from monsters are only temporary and over time I simply will not be able to use them to their full potential, which cannot be said about my firearm. But the problem is that while I'm running like that, I won't be able to aim properly, unless... After my hunt for dinosaurs, I asked Kagor to make me an MGL. The fast, revolver-shaped, multi-shot grenade launcher was supposed to be a weapon for hunting big game, but it looks like it will be useful to me even now.

I fired several grenades at the general, but he heard the sounds of shots from a grenade launcher and began to avoid my attacks. Screwed up guy..

By the way, my explosions are no different in sound from his explosions, this can be used!

I again ran towards the general, but this time releasing grenades parallel to myself, little by little turning towards the general; according to my idea, he would jump from the oncoming explosion straight to my path, where either his explosion or my grenades would reach him.

The plan sounds good, but will it work?
