"Is he really a gunman?" The monster-looking bald guy named Sam who was laughing at me hearing I'm a gunman at the entrance was shocked seeing my performance, "He's fast, as fast as Leona herself. His aim and dodging skills are greater than ours. Killing the gargoyles without getting hit by their acid attacks, he even surpasses the A Rank Zeons. And he's yet D Rank? I'm not buying it."
You surprised? You have to be, Sam. I know you didn't expect me to be this amazing. Not to take credit, but I was impressive.
Even if the gargoyles were a little persistent to get defeated, I had the advantage thanks to my system which helped me to forge this amazing weapons.
I was using dual pistols on my both hand, highly modified and beyond the modern technique. What made it impressive was the ammo I was using inside.
I have the active skill Gravity Implosion which allowed me to manipulate gravity and anything which was based on gravitational principle.
The ammos which were normal metal to begin with were coated with my mana. And that very mana was causing highly compacted gravitational force in the small volume of the bullet. Hitting the target, the bullets released the force which formed destructive repulsion force that impacted the monsters in the dungeon.
In simple term, the 'Hyper-Compact Bullets' hit the target and exploded; leading them to their destruction without wasting a single second. Though, I only made the prototype. The real thing was produced by the system I had.
And there was another thing. The guns I was using was registered with my MP which helped in triggering the fire without requiring any gunpowder for the bullets. It was low recoil to make smooth in firing.
I could easily built a zero-recoil gun. But there's no fun in using that. The real fun is when you feel the firing temptation.
[Notice: Acid signature detected from 9'o clock position]
"Everyone, the four gargoyles on the left, are about to throw acids." I, getting the prediction, informed them.
Leona and the others who were fighting in the front line fell back. Her long katana were unimaginably sharp. It cut through the monsters like a knife was running on butter; smooth and precise.
"You're an indescribable Zeon, Skyler." Kate, the girl with short scarlet hair told, "With your help, fighting these nuisance gargoyles is nothing. And your predictions is like a cheat code for us. They didn't even managed to lay small attack on us."
She was a Fire Elemental. An Elemental was a person who can cast elemental attacks like fire, water, wind or thunder. Luckily, Stella Guild had all of those elementals.
In that team, Leona being the slicer was their leader, while Kate, Sam, Eva and Nick being the fire, thunder, wind and water elementals fight with her in the frontlines. And there were, Jully & Emma as healer while Roy, Ray, John were the enhancers to provide support from a distance.
As Nick was out of team today, I got to shine. Killing monsters with my dual HAC-5 pistols was a piece of cake.
[Notice: Individual with greater MP is approaching beneath the ground]
'Finally it's time.' I smiled while alerting everyone about the approaching boss. The ground of that cave shook; just like an earthquake.
The ground shattered. We fell back. The monster appeared; huge and gigantic with sharp an long jaw. With burning red eyes, it screamed.
"Roooooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The supporters' spells to boost MP of Sam and Kate got cancelled due to the roar of the monster. They were slightly trembling.
Leona, however stood firm; unfazed and fearlessly. Holding her two katana, one burning in Kate's flames, another sparkling in Sam's thunder, she was about to make her move.
[Notice: Anti-Element barrier detected. Attacks from elementals will be cancelled out]
"Wait Leona." I prevented her, "Your that attack won't do any harm to him. He has a barrier to cancel out any attacks from Elementals."
"Great, that's the last thing I wanted to hear from you." She got disappointed, "So, is there any weakness to this one?"
"His MP is distributed evenly in his entire body without leaving any kind of disturbance. I don't think he has any weakness right now."
"That's B Rank boss for you. No wonder it had this kind of counter measures." Sam came from behind me, "So, Mr Gunman. Is there anything you can suggest now?"
'For real? Why the heck are you smiling like that. You sure hate me. Don't you?' I thought but couldn't speak louder.
"Well, to be honest I have an ace under my sleeves." I, spin my guns and put them into their position near my pant's pockets, "If you allow my I can take him down by myself."
"Hold on just a moment. I know you're strong. But taking a B rank boss all by yourself is way too much."
"Leona is right. You can't possibly kill such a foe who already has a counter barrier prepared. Reconsider it." Eva said as well.
"Com'on guys. Let him taste how it's felt to be get beaten by a monster of that calibre." Sam was in the opposite, "I want to see how can he manage to defeat that one. I mean he's D Rank Gunman after all."
I didn't like that guy. But I liked his proposal. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
"But still…"
"Don't worry guys. I have a plan." The inventory appeared in front of me. I chose another gun from my arsenal. It was a sniper.
"Hay, where did that rifle come from. It suddenly popped out in air." Sam was stunned.
"It's one of my specialty. You don't have to look so confused." I laughed, "This one's called C2 Sniper. Now just wait an see what this little baby can do."
He remained confused while the rest of the team looked worried and concerned. If we all could try, we indeed could take down the enemy in front of us. But I wanted to try out how much my weapons were capable of. It's not like I had any doubts though.
I took my aim. Holding straight, reloading a bullet '!!BANG!!'. The bullet pierced through his barrier and stuck to his heart.
In the next moment, everyone noticed an unforeseen phenomena. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing.
The boss started shrinking into his own heart. His hands, his legs, his head, everything was collectively gathered and sunk into his heart; making him look like a basket ball yet drenched in blood.
Actually, the C2 Sniper was application of one of my sub-skill under the active skill 'Gravity Implosion'. Its full name was Cohesion Counter. The bullet I sniped was based on this principality.
Upon contacting its target, the bullet started attracting the MP due to the highly-compacted gravitational pull which was created by my mana coated on the bullet. As the MP was evenly distributed in his entire body, it started shrinking. As soon as the pull over was completed , it was time for the recoil of the highly-compacted gravitational pull.
When I remembered what was going to happen, it was late to alert everyone. The boss monster exploded into pieces, causing us to drench in his disgusting blood and flesh.
"Woooww!!! Such a great ace you had under your sleeves." With her maximum irritated eyes, Leona said to me. Her entire body was cover in the flesh of that monster; others were at the same page as well.
"Ooppss, I guess I messed up." I smiled patting my head, "Next time I'll be careful,"
"Nah! Don't worry about it. We can always get fresh back at the guild." Kate smiled, "By the way, I never thought a B Ranks boss can be taken care this easily before. You sure are something else."
"My question, are you really a D Rank Zeon?" Sam looked at me with his suspicious eyes, "You're awfully powerful to fit as D Rank Zeon."
"You have doubt? You know if you want you can come with me to the evaluation room. I'd be happy to show my AP output." I knew I had time before the effects ended for my pseudo AP output.
[Notice: Estimated time remaining for Pseudo AP output is 19 hrs and 25 minutes]
"Stop you guys let's just get out of this dungeon already. This blood stinks. All the monsters are dead. Let the guild do the clearings." Leona said and started heading back. Rest of the team followed her.
Thus, my first dungeon raid was completed but not that much memorable to keep memories of.

"That's right this is the main reason why I need to defeat higher monsters." I told myself looking at the screen.
