This gun is not something I have seen with this destructive power. I still haven't even used the skills to increase the penetration power of the gun. So how does that happen? Does this weapon have some sort of hidden stat that I didn't know for it to easily break the dummies? There is no way a gun like this can do something like this.
It might have high stat modifiers but that is normal for a weapon that can be equipped at level 105 and above. So what is the main case on how this can be able to do that? Perhaps it's a fluke that it managed to do that? Yeah, perhaps that is the case. Let's do this again. I don't believe it just managed to break things without much problem.
I drag another set of dummies again, this time, all are made of metal. I didn't drag out a wooden frame and decided to go straight to the metal. If the thing that happened earlier didn't happen after this run, then everything was just a fluke and it happened by chance only.
After setting up the place, I aim the gun again and pulled the trigger. And just like before, this gun has proven that everything was not a fluke but everything is real. The metal dummy that I prepared to soak bullets with... is currently down on the ground, blown to pieces.
"Sh*t...what the hell is this..." my hands shook while staring at the gun. This is beyond my expectation...
I scratched my head and frown for a bit. Since the dummy can't even handle the bullet alone, is there any way for me...
"Damn, why didn't I think about that sooner?"
...
...
When I was done tidying up the arena, I went to Queen Tanya and Tina to head out for a bit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sorry for disturbing the relaxation time you guys have right now, Your Majesty."
Queen Tanya put down the teacup on her hands and looked at me with curiosity.
"Hmmm... is this perhaps related to the weapon you are making right now?"
"Ah, yes. That is one of the reasons."
"It seems like you have some problem with it huh? Then go ahead and do what you needed to do."
"Thanks for the permission."
"Honestly, you didn't have to ask me for permission since I didn't even keep you here as a prisoner. You are my guest so even if you leave without saying anything, I won't be offended or anything."
"Well, it's quite rude if I just left so I decided to say something before I go out. Also, if you needed me for something, you can just simply look for me around the area instead of looking around the castle's interior."
"Well, you got a point there. Anyways, if you have some urgent matter to attend to, we wouldn't hold you out any longer."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After that, I left and went to the hostile desert area of Sandurk. It's not that far from Queen Tanya's castle, allowing me to come back whenever something happened. As for my reason for coming here, it was due to one of the enemies that live here. You can say that they are the perfect replacements for the dummies.
There are already a few players around the place but I doubt they will notice me anyway. The area around the hunting grounds is pretty much wide and full of enemies. Not only that but since the gun doesn't give a strong sound whenever a bullet is released, it's not really that loud for anyone to notice my actions, unless they are indeed observing me.
After walking for a bit, I finally found one of the targets that will become the perfect replacement for the dummies.
[Metal Armored Armadillo]
Level 100
HP: 750,000/750,000
Type: Earth. Beast
The Metal Armored Armadillo is one of the enemies with natural defense and can soak quite a lot of damage. This monster cannot be damaged whenever it curls itself into a ball so whenever it tries to open up from being curled up, that is always the moment to strike to kill one. Since its armor is too hard, that would the perfect one that will allow me to test the strength of this gun alone.
There is no one who has been attacking these little guys because of how tricky they are to return to their normal form and give up on their curled-up form or perhaps I just arrived here where no one is here currently farming? Anyways, let's test this one out, shall we?
I saw one Metal Armored Armadillo currently curled up in the distance. It's not too far but not too near either. It's in a distance that is enough for my bullet to reach but not too far that it would miss. Now, time to see the action.
BANG!
The curled-up Metal Armored Armadillo rolled over after being shot. I thought it was about to uncurl itself until I saw the message after the bullet was shot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm-you have killed a Metal Armored Armadillo.
-got 13,000 EXP(received 5,000 additional EXP for performing an Instant Kill!)(Title Effects Activated, 18,000 bonus EXP earned.
I can only facepalm the moment I read the message. The little guy didn't even manage to even properly utilize its armor. It died before it can even respond or properly deflect the bullet it received.
Damn, I don't know what to feel. Whether to be happy or to be confused. Happy because I made such a good weapon but also confused since I don't even know what to test it into to know how exactly the skills work. If normal mobs will not be able to handle the power of the gun, perhaps boss monsters will do the trick and will allow me to tank enemies. I mean, that would be too broken if this thing can one-shot almost everything. I mean, even the Versatile Weapon can be considered as a balanced weapon as I still needed to do my fair share of work to defeat an enemy compared to this gun. One shot and it's dead. I mean, I am not complaining but everything will become very easy and boring if that happens.
After thinking for a bit, I decided to do a dungeon run. I didn't fetch Tina since she won't benefit in this dungeon run either due to the fact that she is already level 100, I am also planning to try and solo the dungeon all by myself for now. And since the Versatile Weapon is still in the process of digesting the Weapons of Pride, the only set of weapons I can use at the moment is this not-yet-named Pistol, and the Magic Sword I crafted which I called Magic Sword Fodder...Yes, I know it's a sh*tty name but that is the only thing I can say for now about it. I don't have anything to name it other than that. After all, it was meant to be a Versatile Weapon fodder, not meant to be a normal weapon I will usually use. If not for the restriction, I won't be using it.
The dungeon that I decided to raid is the Underground Tomb Dungeon. It's a popular dungeon and players will have a much easier time killing monsters fairly easily although they don't have a fairly good amount of exp to be gained upon raiding the place, the best reason they are raiding this place is due to how you can farm gold ingots here by killing mummies which regularly spawns around.
But that is not what I came here for. Mummies are naturally resistant against physical damage skills and basic attacks. This means that also included the pistol which is, by the way, a physical damage weapon. If that is the case, the weapon will not be capable of one shotting the enemy since it will then have some resistance against the shot. The only thing that they have a bit of weakness is, is elemental attacks, especially in magic attacks.
Since guns do not possess those, perhaps, it will help me allow myself to test the power of the two skills it has.
...
Many players are shouting around, looking for party members. Some even tried to recruit me but I declined. After all, if something wrong happened, will they be happy to see it? Unless they are my friends, they won't ever see anything on it.
I went straight to the dungeon portal and selected the Hard Difficulty. I don't want to increase the difficulty too much as it will just destroy me in the process. I will have to clear the dungeon and without my best weapon, challenging the Abyss level will be something I wouldn't even bother challenging with these weapons and armor.
Hard will be the best difficulty I can handle without taking the battle too seriously.
Alright, time for some testing, shall we?
