Currently in Allwater Blessed land:-
A pink fish swam underwater, its fins flipping pushing itself forward it was absorbing air through black gills.
This Fish had white fibrous lines on its body that glowed reflecting Sunlight.
With a splash, the fish jumped out of the water, droplets surrounding her as she left some pouring sea water behind. In its path, the ascent was beautifully accompanied by a rainbow.
The fish appeared above a large boat's deck.
—Bang!
A gunshot resonated, and a bullet pierced the fish's flesh. Dark blue blood fell with its corpse, and then a —swoosh! It started descending onto the deck.
Alex grabbed an edge of the fishing net, ready to catch the fish. On the other end of the net was in Steve's hands.
Both of them stood still, wearing black suits that covered their entire bodies, and glass helmets adorned their heads.
Although it looked more like a thin armour battle suit than a swimsuit.
Thud... the fish fell into the net, landing among its dead companion..
"See this? All evolved creatures under stage 5 don't have the capability to survive this, as their outer shell is weak."
"Same goes for humans; they don't have the capability to survive a gunshot until they reach 5th enlightenment."
"Thus, guns are the best weapons to tackle these creatures. It's pretty usefull if you know how to use one."
Both Alex and Steve nodded at the leader of their team.
This is Seth, a professional invocar in his 5th enlightenment and the current team leader.
He was wearing the same suit as Alex, Seth didn't have his helmet on, allowing his middle-aged face to be visible, with black hair and some white locks falling on his eyes.
Seth is an Invocar who can transform one thing into another. His true nature is a 5th Enlightenment Transmuter, one of the 16 pathways of divinity powered by Enlightenment; it is similar to the Seer pathway.
"Now then, why don't you try it?"Seth said
Steve was the first to throw away the web and ran to Seth, grabbing the gun from his hands. .
Playing with it like a child with his favourite toy, Steve said, "Isn't that dangerous to give us a handgun? I mean, I've never used this; forget using, the only time i touched on childhood in the training center ,What if I accidentally shoot Alex?"
Alex took a step back, intensely glaring at Steve, asking,What the hell? Why would he want to shoot him?
"Nah, that's not dangerous. See, these suits are made by a thread of evolved spider Coco they are nearly indestructible fibres."
Alex grabbed a handgun; his eyes were covered with a black blindfold under the helmet.
Currently, they were in the Allwater blessed land, surrounded by endless amounts of seawater from three sides. From the fourth, a port was visible, each second disappearing into the horizon—a representation of an ever-moving boat.
"This is your first test. Try to kill at least 10 fish each."
"Can't we use a fishing rod or net?"
"Hehe."
Surrounding members of the ship turned toward Alex, perplexed by his question, silently asking if he's out of his mind.
Even Seth was startled. He said, "You can try it, but that will not work, as the fish can eat the net and the thread of the fishing rod."
"Secondly, we can't use coco spider thread; it's too expensive. Besides, don't you want to use guns? Is that a generation gap? I remember when I first held a gun; I was so excited. I even wanted to use an explosion during my youth don't you want to test the traning you received in childhood?."
Alex shrugged his head in awkwardness, trying to ease the pressure. It's not that he's not fascinated by these firearms, he is after all an avid gamer.So when he learned about that the children in this world received a training to handle fire arm he was excited.
He even wanted to drive a tank ,but wouldn't the bullet shot ruin the meat and organs of hunted creatures.
Another team member, more specifically a lady wearing the same suit that clings to her curves, came forward with an assault rifle in her hand that looked like an Ak47.
She turned over her finger.
"See these beautiful babies. A single round is enough for these fishes to be bare naked and ready to be cooked."
She ran her finger along the barrel, saying, '"these long, elongated, drop-dead gorgeous barrels."
She placed the gun on her mouth and smooched, kissing it intimately. And continued, "Furthermore, this trigger waiting to be pulled almost tempting me to take on a euphoric ride. Just think about it, a single trigger can solve most of the problems."
"Such as, if you're in a street fight, pull out a gun. If a mob is bullying you with a gun, use larger guns."
"A tribe doesn't want to give you their land, no problem, just use these guns, problem solved, a crowd is out of control. Put a gun on their heads."
"Use them and spread your culture."
"In Fact Guns are culture."
"Rin, did you forget? It's not only our zone that has guns; guns are spread throughout the entire world." Seth walked toward Rin and snatched the assault rifle from her hand.
Putting it in a gun shredder — it was small, only containing 2 more assault rifles.
"This is not the time to use them; we only have a limited stock for 10 members."
Standing up, Seth grabbed the shredder, carrying it inside the boat.And said, "Newbie, finish your task.if you learn something inform me."
Seth entered the boat, leaving Rin, Alex, and Steve on the deck. Rin said "Oww my babies give me these just for a Sec."
She started to walk toward Seth but stopped turning toward Alex she said "It's not like we want to ruin the meat. The fish are infectious thus every part of it is useless. If you want to know, there is no one willing to buy, they can't be used in ritual sacrifice."
"So,Good luck hunting this useless stuff."
"With that being said, Seth!..give me a moment to admire those beauties."
"Seth!"
She ran inside the boat leaving Alex and Steve behind.
A serene wind passed by them with a cold sensation.
Alex turned to Steve and said,
"So why would you accidently shoot me."He still remembers Steve asking about this.
"Hey, it was just a joke, no need to take it seriously, but —Bang!" Steve fired at Alex.
Alex fell on the boat,there were no injuries on his body as the suit was bulletproof. without standing up he said,
"We are not close enough to exchange any banter," he said, aware of Steve's carefree personality with enthusiastic nature.
Steve had already acknowledged Alex as a friend,but not Alex.
Alex pulled the trigger.
—Bang!
Alex stood up while Steve fell on the ground.,
—Bang! —Bang!
Steve: "Let me stand up."
Alex: "Nah, now you know it's bulletproof."
To be serious, initially, he was nervous holding the guns, but when Steve fired at him, an impulse generated in his body as he counterattacked; the bulletproof ness further eased the pressure.
—Bang!
Steve grabbed his gun, "Hey, I understand,Stop it! " he pulled the trigger.
—Bang!
"Indeed, it's bulletproof. Let me test its durability."Without giving him any chance to stand up Alex fired another round at Steve.
—Bang! —Bang! —Bang! —Bang!
"Alex, they are Guns!! not CULTURE!!!,."
—Bang!
"They are—"
