Chapter 14: New Game + and Spar Conclusion
Nothing happened.
The expected recoil never comes.
Why? I already unlock the safety pin but why.
Thinking that the bullet must be a dud, I ejected one and aiming to shot again. Squeeze. Nothing.
" Hahahaha, all those magic you show but you can't even use magic weapon?", Alnor mocked me. " Let me show you how to use a magic weapon."
He took the same posture as a lumberjack trying to cut a firewood, hoisting the hammer overhead.
Then the hammer started to flashing a dim light, starting from his hands slowly spreading all over the hammer. When the dim light finally enveloped the hammer, he shouted as he hit the ground in front of him.
" OOH, SMASH!", the earth shattered and the shock wave rushing towards me, bringing with it the avalanche of soil.
I quickly invoked my defensive magic
******
Magic Weapon.
Back when I was still playing TND, magic weapons are stapled for adventurers and explorers.
The runes in the weapons represent the weapon ability, either passive ability like MAGIC CUTTER or active ability like SMASH
The ability varies from weapon to weapon, some also have the restriction for example, ability to penetrate armor PIERCE can only be used by the weapon that can pierce.
Unlike passive ability, active ability must be charged with mana first. The higher the amount of mana you supply the stronger the effect is.
As for the hammer that Alnor currently use, it seems like he properly holds back.

I quickly dash backward and pull Fiona toward safety. As for Silver, she seems to be awake due to the loud bang.
Some of the audience are yelling "good job" toward Alnor.
"Fiona! Are you okay? I need your support to get through this."
"Huh, yes! Thank you again."
To make sure Silver is good, I talked with Telepathy.
[[ Silver, are you okay? Can you move?]]
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
[[ Aye aye Master, Silver is good. Let me try again]]
Ah, I still can't get used to the fact sound vibration inside my head.
[[Wait for Fiona magic first.]]
[[Aye Sir!]]
"Fiona, get ready."
"Come on boy! Everything about you is contradiction now, you said you are good with close combat, so far all I see is you running away."
Gosh, Alnor is starting to get to my nerve now.
There's one way to fight a dwarf. They are strong but for every attack they make, there is slight delay. To take advantage of that delay would be like a Quick Time Event on video games.
[[ Silver! Now!]]
Silver quickly charge again at Alnor
" Same move won't work on me again newbie!", roared Alnor.
He swings the massive hammer at Silver but just before he could hit, Silver immediately halted, barely missing her.
" FIONA NOW!"
"Oh, Spirit of the Light, Release My Enemy,
The ball of light zooming past me and hitting Alnor face.
Using the opening created by Fiona, I took a dagger out with my left hand and charge. Aiming at the opening at the rib, a single stab penetrating the heart is enough. Five meters. Four meters. Three meters. Two meters. One meter. And
"Still underestimating me boy?
The hammerhead suddenly bursting into flame like a rocket and the inertia twisting his body away and the hammer toward me. It's too late to evade, I raise left arm to guard against the attack. My right hand which I have the magic rifle are pointed at the body of the stout dwarf. Inserting mana, one point, and shot.
bang..BOom
The brunt of the hammer hitting me so hard. I can hear my arm creaking and the numbness and pain intensify over time. My body is being tossed so far that by the end I can't even move.
Ah….I lose… I can't hear anything and it seems like Silver and Fiona are rushing toward me.
Let me sleep for a while now…
"MAs..er!"
"O...Sp..rit….heal…<... HEAL>, ..age!...age!"
