When they were still twenty yards apart, Malin pulled out a revolver from behind his waist.
A standard electrum bullet, engraved for penetration and soaked in Holy Water after being blessed thrice by a Bishop, would cost 1400 Mowish per bullet.
The electrum bullets in Malin's gun were engraved using the powder from the acorns of the World Tree Sapling as pigment, soaked in the Blessed Water made from the same sapling, and blessed by the sapling for three days, with each bullet's cost amounting to 240 Mowish.
The electrum plating was a bit expensive; Malin was considering looking for alternatives. If he could bring down the cost to 20 per bullet, he could afford a relic-grade semi-automatic firearm for himself.
The gunshot rang out, and the head of The Blessed in front of him burst instantaneously. It continued running until Malin stepped aside to let the headless corpse pass, then it fell to the ground, its strength spent.
