Indra sees Ragnar already fighting the Ice Elf leader, the boss of this dungeon. In fact, he is fighting 2 bosses because the Ice Bear leader can be counted as a sub-boss.
"RAGNAR! NEED A HAND?" Indra shouts from the backline.
"YOUR TRUE BUFFS WILL BE GREAT. THESE GUYS ARE ALMOST AS STRONG AS REAL BOSS MONSTERS IN S-RANK DUNGEONS."
Even Indra is surprised to hear what Ragnar says. This dungeon has become an S-Rank since it became a Red Gate. But he never thought the monsters would be that strong.
He can sense their power, but it's just their stats, not their battle skills. Ragnar can defeat the normal Ice Elves and Bears easily, so he thought they weren't that powerful. Yet, Ragnar is struggling against the boss.
"No wonder the S-Rank and A-Rank Hunters can't defeat the mobs that easily even with my buffs."
Indra quickly gives Ragnar his best buff skills because Ragnar is fighting the boss. He wants to help Ragnar more, but his priority is the other Hunters. Ragnar can survive fighting the boss, but the other hunters might die.
So Indra decides to join the battle directly. He can't give them more buffs because their bodies won't be able to handle his strongest buffs like Ragnar and the other National Level Hunters.
Getting buffs actually put a lot of burden on their bodies. But because the buffs from other support Hunters aren't as strong as Indra's buffs, no one has ever felt the burden.
Even S-Rank support hunters can at most give 50% buffs. Indra's buffs can double anyone's stats, 100% buffs, and that is not his best. The current him can give up to 250% buffs.
A great increase in power will surely burden the ones who receive the buffs. Only the National Level Hunters can handle that level of buffs. If S-Ranks and lower ranked hunters receive that level of buff, then they might get crippled or worse, die from power overload.
So Indra can only join the fight because he can't increase the Hunters' buffs. Obviously, he won't reveal his true power here because he doesn't think it will be necessary to clear this dungeon.
But it will still be very flashy even though he uses his well-known ability, the Rune Magic that has been incorporated into modern weapons, the Magic Guns. Of course, as the inventor, Indra won't use the normal magic guns.
Indra takes a big sniper rifle out of his inventory. Then he stands on a raised platform he made using his barrier magic and starts aiming at the monsters that start overwhelming the Hunters.
"Hasta la Vista, baby."
*PSEW!*
Of course, since it's a magic weapon fueled with mana, it doesn't create a loud banging explosion sound like normal firearms. The only sound it creates is the friction sound of the magic bullet and the air.
But albeit silent, this magic sniper rifle is deadly, very deadly. The magic bullet flies at a very high speed and has a very powerful penetration power. It pierces through an Ice Bear's thick skull very easily and kills it instantly.
It doesn't attract attention at first because the battlefield is chaotic. But everyone finally realizes it after Indra kills a few more Ice Bears and Elves with ease using his magic sniper rifle.
The Hunters look at Indra in awe while the monsters look at him in fear because he can easily kill a monster with just 1 shot. The situation changes very quickly.
Indra shoots the monster very accurately. Each shot hits the monsters' heads, so he can kill them instantly with a bullet each. The bullets are incredibly fast and the monsters can't dodge them because of how fast they are.
His accuracy is incredible because Indra has trained his gunship so much. Well, the magic bullets' speed and power are also very important because they can fly at straight lines in any condition, unlike metal bullets that can shift because of the wind and gravity.
So as long as Indra can point his sniper rifle onto his target's head using the scope, then he won't miss. His inhumane power also helps a lot because he can follow the targets' movements easily and he can hold the gun very steadily.
This magic gun might not use gunpowder explosion to shoot bullets, but it still creates recoils which is as strong as the recoils from a Tank's cannon.
So if the gunner isn't strong enough, they will get thrown and the bullets won't hit. But Indra's physical power is higher than even the National Levels, so he can handle the recoil without even flinching.
In his hands, the magic sniper rifle looks like an easy gun as he shoots the monsters accurately and kills them easily.
The monsters are really afraid now, so they start scattering, trying to run away. But of course, they can't run anywhere because they are trapped inside Indra's barrier.
The Game of War has turned into a Game of Shooting with moving targets. But the targets don't fight back, so it really feels like a game now.
Even Ragnar and the boss stop fighting to watch Indra slaughter the monsters using a magic sniper rifle.
Baruka seems visibly angry as he looks at Indra who kills his men like killing cockroaches. He wants to attack Indra, but his opponent is really tough.
Ragnar has received 250% buffs for all of his stats from Indra. He also uses his power as the vessel of Odin by transforming into his Spiritual Body Manifestation state.
Ragnar's Spiritual Body Manifestation is different from Thomas and the other Rulers' vessels who grow exoskeleton-like armor or turn into an elemental being. It's also different from Hunters who can transform into other creatures, like Dewi.
He actually doesn't look like he transforms at all because he simply just becomes taller and more muscular. His hair also grows longer including his beard and mustache. Amazingly, his armor and weapon also grow to match his size.
Then, there are tattoos appearing all over his body except for his head. Ragnar doesn't have any tattoos. They only appear when he transforms like this, as if they are the spells that enhance his power.
Ragnar still hasn't fully grasped the power he gets from the Spiritual Body Manifestation. But his current form has already doubled his power. Coupled with Indra's buffs, Ragnar has become immensely powerful.
With his current power, he can fight an S-Rank dungeon boss alone without losing his ground. Winning is another matter, but at least he won't lose and die. He can at least stay alive and injure the boss, though winning will be very difficult by himself.
So now he keeps the boss busy while also trying to win, obviously. But his main priority is holding the boss so it won't attack the others while Indra slaughters the mobs with the newly introduced magic sniper rifle.
The normal Ice Elves and Bears die one by one quite rapidly. They can't stop the bullets from piercing their bodies and killing them.
Even when they manage to block with their weapons or armor, the bullets just pierce those before piercing their bodies. That's just how powerful Indra's shots are.
But then the monsters start managing to dodge the shots, especially the agile Ice Elves. They start getting used to the shots and actually predict the shots from the rifle's position because they can't react to the bullets' speeds.
"DON'T STOP ATTACKING! ROUND THEM UP IN ONE SPOT AND MAKE THEM BUSY SO I CAN HIT THEM MORE EASILY!" Indra shouts at the Hunters who stop moving because they don't know what to do anymore.
""Y-YES, SIR!""
The Hunters move again to do what Indra has instructed. They attack the monsters from all sides to gather the monsters in 1 spot as Indra said.
Now it becomes easier for Indra to shoot them because they gather and the Hunters are distracting them with various attacks, so they can't dodge Indra's shots anymore.
The Hunters also start killing the monsters that are afraid of Indra's attacks, making them can't focus on the Hunters' attacks. Meanwhile, those that focus too much on the Hunters can't dodge Indra's attacks, so they are doomed either way.
It doesn't take long for Indra and the Hunters to kill every normal monster. What's left now is just the Ice Elf boss and the Ice Bear boss. Though it will only be Indra and Ragnar because the other Hunters are very exhausted.
