1st Person (Junichiro)

I confidently raised my right hand, fingers poised, as if I were about to flick a coin at the enemy, like a certain famous Railgun.

However, I do not have any coins to flick, and it is annoying to do all this nonsense when I don’t even have a way to conjure lightning. What I had in mind, was something different.

In front of me, multiple black bullet-shaped projectiles appeared, and ignited at the same time. They were all launched towards the golem in front of me.

Although I had called it ‘buckshot’, it looked nothing like a shotgun blast, it just looked like I fired off multiple bullets at the enemy.

When I had used it earlier against the other monsters, the small fries like goblins and kobolds were easily massacred.

However, this golem doesn’t seem to go down that easily.

“Hmm, a strong technique. This would be annoying.” [Junichiro]

I had thought my would at least crack the golem’s , but that magic golem was completely unfazed.

“Let’s go for... Whoa shit!” [Junichiro]

Before I could attack again, my opponent struck first.

Without any sort of incantation, the golem shot a black fireball magic at me.

“Woah, he can even do something like this?” [Junichiro]

I had not thought of creating a black colored flame yet.

A black flickering flame completely covered my surroundings in an instant. But if the opponent is a dark magician, I am also one.

Resistance towards dark magic is not a property of other elements.

“Pathetic!” [Junichiro]

My body is covered in black flames. It’s not as weak as I declared, but it was not enough to leave any fatal burns.

After all, it’s over once I defeat my opponent. The flame disappeared without dealing any damage…

“Shit!? That was a decoy!” [Junichiro]

Due to myself also being a dark mana user, I was able to detect and evade the attack at the very last second.

“That was close.” [Junichiro]

As the black fireball flew past me, I realized that I wouldn’t have just gotten away with minor burns if it hits me.

However, even if it hits, this is still insufficient to defeat me.

I started constructing a black rifle chamber, one that looks like the barrel of a sniper rifle, with one end sealed.

With an enclosed space, the force the bullet gets from the explosion will become stronger.

An image of a bullet, created with a much harder shell, was created in my head.

This would turn ordinary humans into meat paste.

With that, I constructed the bullet, based on the image, in the floating gun barrel.

*bang*!!

I ignited the dark mana inside the barrel, and made the bullet fly.

Already predicting my counter attack, the opponent had already deployed a stronger .

However, with a bullet solely focused on punching armor, the barrier was not as effective as before. The was able to drill into the barrier, but was unable to punch through completely before dissipating into thin air.

The shield, without the bullet to stop it, started to regenerate itself, however—

From the beginning, I had never expected the first shot to punch through.

The best part about this technique, was that the can be used again, and the trajectory of the bullet would be exactly the same.

With a shattering sound, the barrier fell apart to my mighty shot. And the shock from the bullet sent the opponent stumbling backwards.

Another would be able to take him down at this point, but with this short distance it is more efficient to strike him directly rather than constructing another bullet.

On the battlefield, fast decisions are necessary. Before the opponent recovers, I’ll destroy it first!

The first magic I had created.

The very one that pierced through the back of the first golem.

The activation for this magic is the simplest, and therefore also the fastest.

Before it could fix his posture, I struck it in its torso.

With a compressed density even above , the steel armor which is not enchanted with magic is nothing but paper in front of my sure-kill focused in my right hand.

And without any resistance, my fist drilled through its armor.

At that moment, blood spurted out the air.
