by adminLow-level magic beast.
Although it has a lower rank, it is still a magical beast.
It is more powerful than most beasts.
The northern soldiers had to fight against low-level demon beasts that appeared every day.
Even if several adult men work together, making even a brief mistake can result in injury or death.
Therefore, the soldiers had to focus all their attention to deal with low-level magic beasts.
What if low-level demon beasts appear in groups?
The burden increased, and casualties were common.
If the knights join in, dealing with the magical beasts becomes much easier.
But the articles are limited.
Moreover, as the appearance of middle-level magic beasts increased, the knights no longer had time to worry about low-level magic beasts.
In the end, low-level magic beasts had to be handled by soldiers.
The dispatch became more frequent and low-level demon beasts gradually appeared in groups.
After three, knights joined in, but soldiers had to deal with up to two.
The soldiers’ fatigue piled up quickly, and the number of casualties gradually increased.
In such a situation, the empire sent me a new firearm.
Double barrel shotgun.
With just one shot, he could easily neutralize a low-level magic beast.
One shot when hitting weak points such as the head and chest.
Even if it hits the leg, it can be easily neutralized.
Not only that, it was easy to operate and fit.
Unlike before, there was no longer a need to fight in close proximity with low-level magic beasts.
Even if you missed or failed to land a valid hit, you just had to pull another trigger.
All the remaining soldiers had to do was keep the gunner from approaching while the gunner loaded and fired.
Casualties fell quickly.
The burden of subjugating low-level demon beasts was also reduced.
Additionally, with fewer soldiers, it was possible to deal with more low-level demon beasts.
“You can easily catch demonic beasts with just one pull of the trigger?”
“There’s nothing special now?”
With just one firearm, the aspect and outcome of the subjugation changed.
Soldiers quickly fell in love with the shotgun.
“This firepower…Ahh…I think I’ll fall in love…”
“Where is the next demon?”
Low-level magic beasts were no longer a threat.
A malfunction of the gun or exhaustion of remaining ammunition was a much bigger threat to them.
***
“Are you ready?”
““Yes!””
Squad members moving with the Ten Seals.
In order to subdue low-level demon beasts, they left the territory again today.
“Two low-level demons at three o’clock.”
“Let’s go.”
-pop! pop!
“Eleven o’clock…”
-pop!
Continue until you find traces of a mid-level demon beast or until the ammo runs out.
Patrolling around the territory and subjugating low-level demon beasts became their daily routine.
“How much ammunition is left?”
“It’s still enough.”
Derek answered the Ten Seals’ question.
“Keep moving.”
There was no sense of tension in their faces or actions.
The patrol proceeded with a much more relaxed attitude than before.
“Yesterday that guy…”
“Fuha. I should have joined in too. One month’s salary…”
“Then you won.”
“You said you practiced?”
“Then later in the evening…”
Derek walked forward while overhearing the conversation of senior soldiers.
One of the seniors walking ahead speaks to him.
“Hey. derrick. You can catch a mid-level demon beast with that?”
“I heard it was possible, but I don’t know yet.”
“You haven’t taken the test yet?”
“I think I heard it will happen in a few days, but I’m not sure yet.”
I remember hearing this when I first received training.
They say it works even against intermediate level demonic beasts.
However, I have never used a shotgun directly on a mid-level demon beast.
Same goes for other shooters.
It was not long since the introduction of the shotgun, and according to the doctrine, it was a matter of returning and reporting when a mid-level demon was discovered.
There has never been a case where northern soldiers used shotguns against mid-level demon beasts.
“Is that so? what. That’s enough. How about the recoil?”
“It’s heavy, but in its own way…”
“Quiet.”
Perhaps because the soldiers’ voices became louder, the Ten Seals spoke quietly.
“Yep.”
“Yes.”
The soldiers closed their mouths.
Snap.
Pout.
Leaving footprints in the snow, they kept moving.
“Low level magic beast at 3 o’clock.”
“Let’s go.”
As the distance got closer, the low-level magician turned his head when he heard the noise.
“Krrr…”
“It looks like a dick. No matter how much I look at it, I can’t get used to it.”
A soldier muttered while looking at the scene.
Although they were not as difficult opponents as before, I could not get used to the appearance of the magical beasts at all.
“Prepare for the approach of the devil. Be alert to your surroundings.”
“Yep.”
Except for the two soldiers, the remaining personnel prepare for the approach of the demonic beast.
Derek raised his shotgun and aimed at the beast.
Soon, the demonic beast rushed at me.
-pop!
As soon as he was in range, Derek pulled the trigger.
The demonic beast that was running rolled around in the snow.
“Let’s get the magic stones.”
At the words of the Ten Seals, the soldiers approached the corpse of the demonic beast.
The location of the magic stone is either the head or chest.
Sometimes it comes from both places.
Each person headed to the place where the magic stone was and prepared to take it out.
“The head was smashed. There’s no need to do anything else.”
“Isn’t the magic stone also shattered?”
“Wait…”
The soldier at the head put his long leather gloved hand between the broken skulls and began to search for the magic stone.
“This looks like a bullet…”
The soldier turned to his chest and took out a knife and stabbed him in the chest.
– Pugh.
“Ouch, chew.”
Perhaps because the knife was inserted deep, bodily fluids spurted out around the area.
“Erai.”
“Mr. It stings. It’s not something you do once or twice.”
“Did you know this would happen?”
“I need to know. I wish I had eaten that long.”
The soldiers looked uncomfortable and tried to shake off the bodily fluids that had splattered on their bodies.
At that moment, the soldier who was watching the surroundings shouted.
“Intermediate demonic beast appears! It’s at 3 o’clock!”
“Maseok gives up and returns…”
“Come this way! Fast!”
I encountered a mid-level demon beast in an unexpected situation.
The worst part was that a mid-level magician had identified them and was rushing towards them.
“Ha…”
The ten seals quickly turned their heads.
Running away is impossible.
Even if you start running now, it won’t be long before you catch up.
Fighting is also impossible.
How can I deal with that magical beast that is the size of a house?
Of course, I heard that the double barrel shotgun is also effective for intermediate level magicians.
And among his squad members was a gunner.
However, when I saw the size of the mid-level demon beast, I was not sure if it would work.
It’s great if it works, but what if it doesn’t work?
It is a mass death as a group.
No matter which option was chosen, the expected results were not good.
Which of the two options is the better option?
And, which option should we choose to minimize casualties?
The Ten Seals shouted.
“Split up and flee to the territory!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers began to run away.
A mid-level magician who hesitated as he saw the soldiers spreading in all directions.
—-!
It hits the ground with both legs with a loud cry.
-thud!
Then, I set a goal and started running.
I was chosen by a mid-level magician.
Unfortunately, it was Derek.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck… !”
I tried hard to run with my gun, but unfortunately, the demonic beast was getting closer quickly.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Is the sound ringing in my ears the sound of a demonic beast hitting the ground or the sound of my heart beating loudly?
Maybe both.
The bag containing the double-barreled shotgun and pellets I was holding felt especially heavy today.
I wanted to throw everything away and run.
But if you let go of even this, there is nothing left to fight against that magical beast.
‘Is it right to turn around and shoot right now?’
I heard that it definitely works for intermediate level magicians.
‘Do you think that would work?’
However, after witnessing a mid-level magic beast in person, it seemed like it would never work.
Additionally, the round in the chamber is buckshot.
It would have been better if they had at least put slug bullets in it.
I thought about changing the bullet while running, but…
It felt like if I slowed down even for a moment, I would immediately catch up.
“Whoop…whoop… !”
However, even if you keep running like this, you will still be caught up.
I’m going to die anyway, so wouldn’t it be right to hope for at least a small chance?
“Yeah…fuck…”
After making a decision, Derek turned around and ran.
By now, the demonic beast was getting closer.
It felt like I was going to get run over or stepped on at any moment.
-pop!
Would it have been impossible to turn around and shoot the witch while running?
Due to the strong recoil, my legs were twisted.
“Ugh!”
I only stumbled for a moment, but before I knew it, the demonic beast had caught up right behind my back.
Derek just threw himself to the side.
thud! thud! thud!
A magical beast quickly passes by the spot where he was.
“Damn…”
Derek pulled the other trigger as well.
-pop!
Is it because I shot it in a hurry?
The second bullet passes by the demonic beast, and the flesh falls off.
However, this seemed to be not enough to defeat the magical beast.
Instead, it seemed like he was just getting angry.
There was no time to sit idle.
Derek pulled back the lever and ejected the shell casing.
—-!
The demonic beast’s cry penetrates my ears.
Derek fumbled and opened the bullet bag.
‘Which one is a slug bullet?’
Was it left or right?
Because I was so embarrassed, I couldn’t remember which compartment the slug bullet was in.
Meanwhile, the demon beast turned around and charged again.
‘I don’t know, fuck…’
I grabbed as many rounds as I could get my hands on and shoved them into the chamber.
At the moment of folding the gun and pulling out the shell, the demon takes a front step.
-thud!
Derek pulled one hammer and rolled his body to the side to avoid the bridge.
When he looked up, the demon beast raised its leg again and tried to trample him.
-pop!
A gunshot rang out.
