"Are you sure your subordinates can lure the monsters here alive?"
Nikolai chuckled at Luck's question.
"My subordinates are not weak, they should have no problem bringing a few weak star beasts here alive."
As soon as Nikolay finished speaking, they saw Nikolay's subordinates, who had captured a monster tens of metres away and were dragging it towards them.
"I told you..."
Luck opened his eyes in surprise, but a sly smile was on his face.
Luck raised his gun without answering Nikolai, but he had a sly smile on his face.
Aiming at the star beast that Nikolay's subordinates had captured and brought back from tens of metres away, Luck pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bam Bam Bam Bam!
As the empty shells flew out of the gun, a series of gunshots echoed, frightening all the creatures in the forest.
After the bullets flying out of the barrel of the gun left bloody flower marks on the body of the star beast, the star beast collapsed dead on the ground.
Picking up the hot empty shell casing that had rolled at his feet, Nikolai was at first startled by the sound of the gun, but then shocked as he looked at the star beast Luck had been aiming at.
Nikolay:ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ
What's that noisy thing in your hand? How did you kill the star monster tens of metres away?
Looking at the gun in Luck's hand and at the star monster lying on the ground dozens of metres away,
Nikolay was trying to understand how that thing, which he could not feel any star power, could kill the star monster.
Putting down the gun with smoke coming out of its barrel, Luck started to walk towards the dead star monster with slow steps.
Nikolay, who noticed Luck, who started walking with the guitar case on his back while he was deep in thought, said, "Hey wait for me!"
"What's that thing in your hand?"
"I already told you... It's a firearm."
Nikolay quickly nodded "Yeah yeah yeah I know, but I can't sense any star power from that thing, how did you kill the star monster?"
Luck took out a spare magazine from his assault vest and put the bullets in Nikolay's hand.
"That's how I killed that star monster."
Nikolay was very confused when he looked at the bullets in his hand and Luck's serious expression.
The things that flew out of the gun and fell to the ground and these metal things in his hand were nothing alike!
"How can these little things kill a star monster? Are you kidding me? These are not the things that flew out of your gun!"
Luck sighed, overwhelmed by Nikolay's repeated questions.
His initial impression of Nikolay as a tough, difficult man to talk to was crumbling by the minute.
'Is this how a starfighter with 5-star power should be? Like a curious child!
Luck began to explain, anticipating the questions he might hear later, "What you have in your hand is the ammunition for the gun, a bullet. A bullet consists of two parts: the bullet and the shell...."
For Nikolai, everything Luck explained was a load of rubbish, not the core, not the shell, not the powder... A tiny piece of metal is what kills the star monster? It's rubbish!
Nikolai still couldn't believe the bullets that Luck claimed were so dangerous, "Then prove to me how these bullets can be dangerous?"
Luck rolled his eyes and looked at the star monster lying dead on the ground.
Dead star monster : (×_×#)
Luck : ( ¬_¬)
"If you check the star beast's wounds, you can find the bullet cores..."
Following Luck's eyes, Nikolai looked at the star beast lying dead on the ground and then at Luck.
Meanwhile, some of Nikolai's subordinates, who had heard what Luck had said, examined the wounds of the star beast out of curiosity and indeed found the bullets and showed them to Nikolai.
Nikolai: (˚▱˚)
Luck: ༼ ಠل͟ಠ༽
"Oh, man! That's not enough proof! I could kill that creature with a fart!"
Luck was silent after what Nikolai said.
Why?
Because he didn't know if Nikolai was serious! He couldn't predict the strength of a starfighter with five-star power! What if he meant what he said?
Nikolai turned to his subordinates after glancing furtively at Luck's weapon.
"Go lure the more powerful star beasts over here!"
Nikolai's subordinates, who were as curious as Nikolai, but afraid to ask questions, hurried into the forest.
"Yes, Guildmaster!"
...
For hours afterwards, gunfire echoed through the forest.
Nikolai, who at first looked at the star beasts Luck had killed with disdain, began to feel numb after a while.
Star beasts with 2 and 3-star power were easy for him and his subordinates to kill, but star beasts with 3-star power were becoming a problem for his subordinates, what about Luck?
The bastard kept his distance, aiming with what he called an assault rifle and pulling the trigger until the star beast was dead or out of bullets... But the result was always the same... At the end of the barrage of bullets, Luck would have an ecstatic smile on his face while the star beast would be lying dead on the ground covered in blood.
"Ah... idiots..." Noticing the star beast chasing his subordinates, Nikolai covered his face with one hand.
"I must protect them..." Nikolai was moving to protect his subordinates when Luck stopped him.
"Take your time."
Nikolay was about to lecture Luck that he could not risk the lives of his subordinates when he saw Luck lower the bag on his back and pull out a much larger weapon.
Although he still couldn't feel any star power from that gun, he knew in his heart that that big gun was much more lethal than an assault rifle.
And his thoughts would soon be confirmed.
Ignoring Nikolay's subordinates coldly running towards him as the star beast chased them, Luck finished preparing his sniper rifle and aimed towards the star beast.
Boom!
A sound much louder than the previous gunshots echoed through the forest.
The bullet that hit the head of the rhinoceros beetle-like star beast tore off a large piece of the rhinoceros beetle's head but failed to kill it.
"Hmmm, this monster seems to be much more durable, but if one bullet is not enough, how about two bullets? How about three?"
Bam!
When the second bullet hit almost the same place as the previous bullet and tore off a much larger piece of meat than before, the rhinoceros beetle was startled by the pain for a moment, but this pain seemed to make it even more angry and it started running much faster than before.
Bam!
The third bullet caused the rhinoceros beetle to cramp with pain and fall on its legs, but it was still not dead.
Bam!
Although the rhinoceros beetle was still not dead, its movements were jerky and weak, like those of a dying person.
Bam!
With the last bullet hitting the Rhinoceros beetle's head, the Rhinoceros beetle's movements stopped like a puppet whose string had been cut.
All this happened in a matter of seconds.
