Clank-

Taang-!

A single silver bullet, resembling moonlight, pierced the night sky and flew in a straight line.

The bullet, which flew between buildings like a bird, left a fist-sized hole in Mine’s stomach and only stopped moving after it was embedded in the ground, as if satisfied.

“Ahhhh… … ?”

Mine, who had been immersed in the sweetness of wielding power, let out a scream of exhaustion without realizing it.

He let out a faint gasp, not even knowing what had happened to him, and then collapsed like a sand castle.

“What, what’s wrong with this kid? Why did he suddenly collapse?”

“It looks like it’s dead… …but is it really dead?”

The student council, who had been desperately trying to buy time against Mine, looked at the sight and talked to him with bewildered expressions.

Pick-

Their appearance through the scope was quite funny.

But unfortunately, there was no time to watch it.

Because there were still countless mines scattered throughout the circle that needed to be caught and killed.

Taang-!

Do Yu-jin, who had finished another sniping shot, quickly turned the muzzle of the anti-material sniper rifle with the help of the shadow.

Because he needed money to live off of and prepare for the future, Do Yujin put the money he brought from Xiao Zhan’s lab into his bank account that he could use right away, and he also sold some of the magic stones he brought.

However, he still kept the various materials that could be used as alchemy materials and the numerous firearms that Xiao Zhan had made as a hobby without selling them.

Because I was sure that I would have a use for it someday, like today.

“Hoo… … ”

After exhaling all the air in your lungs, take a deep breath.

I look at the world through the scope, my heart rate slowing down.

I feel like my heart has turned to ice and the blood flowing through my body is cooling down. I pull the trigger with a calm mind.

Ps …

Do Yu-jin, who finished the work like that once more, smiled faintly without realizing it.

Because it’s ridiculous that I feel this way in the middle of a battlefield.

‘Really… … I’m glad my talent for weapons is guns.’

In shooting, especially in long-range sniping like today, there is little room for physical and magical intervention.

This means that those two talents are suppressed and cannot be used to their full potential.

Taang-!

It also meant that Do Yu-jin’s talent for guns could be easily revealed without any particular hindrance.

‘Well, normally, if you can’t use magic power, the power of the bullet will be weakened.’

Crunch-!

‘In my case, it doesn’t matter because I can fill in that part by using special bullets that I bought with points from the [store].’

A special exorcism bullet that is extremely expensive, worth 300 points per shot.

I can’t help but think that it’s a bit expensive for a one-time-use item, but since I didn’t really have a reason to use it anyway, I just kept accumulating points.

I didn’t feel bad about using it because I was able to use it exactly when I needed it.

‘There… … ‘

‘You can’t complain that you’re wasting points when you get this many things every time you pull the trigger.’

Do Yu-jin muttered as she tried to convince herself like that, unable to hold back any longer.

“But how many of these guys are left? I think I killed quite a few, but they keep popping out like cockroaches.”

Although it is common for the trigger to be in the pocket, that does not mean that Do Yu-jin is dealing with Mines easily.

I don’t know what Xiao Zhan did to the gun, but the side effects were as obvious as the effectiveness, and the recoil was no joke every time I pulled the trigger.

For Do Yu-jin, who had a fragile paper body, it felt like getting hit on the shoulder with a baseball bat every time she pulled the trigger, to put it a bit exaggeratedly.

When Do Yu-jin was grumbling in a voice filled with pain.

“There are about 200 test subjects left. At first, I brought a little over 500 test subjects, so now there are a little less than half left.”

A beautiful woman’s voice, which could only be described as soft and beautiful, tickled Do Yu-jin’s ears.

Crunch-!

At that moment, Do Yu-jin immediately turned the gun towards the direction from which the sound came.

The aiming with the help of the shadow was quick and nimble.

But before Do Yu-jin took aim and pulled the trigger.

Peet-

It was faster than the black thing rising from below, slicing the gun to pieces and tearing apart the subspace bag Do Yu-jin was carrying.

“According to my calculations, using those 500 would have stalled the current power in the circle for at least 30 minutes.”

“… … ”

Do Yu-jin threw the scrap metal that had once been a gun onto the floor without saying anything.

As the subspace bag was torn to pieces, the various spare guns inside also disappeared somewhere in space.

In other words, Do Yu-jin was virtually in the same situation as standing before the enemy unarmed.

While feeling extremely tense about that fact, the woman continued talking as if nothing had happened.

He spoke in a calm tone, as if he were out for a walk and talking to a sparrow.

“So my original plan was to quietly gather the data I needed for those 30 minutes… …but thanks to your huge effort here, I failed in less than 10 minutes.”

Smile-

The woman who finished speaking looked at Do Yu-jin and smiled softly.

It was a smile that seemed kind, but was actually all the more reluctant because of it.

“How is it? I answered your question a little while ago in some detail. Did your doubts get resolved? If so, I would like you to resolve my doubts now… … ”

She slowly walked towards Do Yu-jin, still smiling beautifully.

“What on earth did you do to find the weak points of my test subjects so easily?”

Even if a mine has accepted magic through a contract with a devil, its vessel is still human.

Because if you stab her in the heart or head, she will die immediately, but the test subjects she created were different.

To them, the heart was nothing more than a bait to deceive the enemy, a piece of flesh to bite into the enemy’s bones.

“Circle is a place where model students who study hard in their textbooks are.”

Knock knock knock-

The woman opened her mouth to the sound of her shoes tapping the floor.

“So I thought many people would easily fall for this trap, but you ignored my expectations and attacked only the exact location of the nuke from the beginning?”

Gyaut-

The head of the woman with the added title of curiosity falls down.

Like a guillotine.

“How on earth did you know where the nucleus was? The location where the nucleus was created must have been different for each individual.”

“… … ”

Do Yu-jin took a small step back without answering her words.

“Hmm, you still haven’t answered. Oh, is there something else you want to ask me?”

She walked briskly like a noblewoman chasing Do Yu-jin through the garden, like a cat chasing a mouse.

It was a move he could make because he was confident that he had the complete upper hand.

“Are you wondering how I found this place? I attached a small device to each subject’s body to collect data. After analyzing the wounds caused by it, I was able to narrow down the location to the roof of this building.”

Hit-

“Are you wondering why no one is helping you? I hate it when uninvited people interrupt my conversations. That’s why I used an artifact to put up a barrier around this building. For now, this is our only space.”

Hit-

She stopped walking as she continued to hum along, spinning the umbrella around and around.

At the same time, Do Yu-jin also stopped walking.

To be exact, I had no choice but to stop.

Before he knew it, he was backed into a corner of the rooftop, so much so that if he took just one more step back, he would fall.

“If not, are you curious about the name of the person who will kill you?”

The woman playfully touched her lips with her fingers and then spoke in a voice mixed with laughter.

“If you want it so badly, I can tell you. My name is Monica Airion.”

A villain, a selfish young lady who killed ten thousand women for her own curiosity and beauty and kidnapped a thousand babies for her own youth.

“Please take good care of me?”

She introduced herself with an aristocratic bow, lifting the sides of her skirt slightly with her empty hands.

“Now that all your questions have been answered… … ”

Monica tapped the ground lightly with her foot.

“Krrr!”

Then her shadow rippled slightly and two wolves jumped out, growling at Do Yu-jin.

“Now, will you take off that hideous beast mask and tell me who you are and how you learned of my test subject’s flaws? I need that information to improve my future test subjects.”

ah-

“And if you know of any other flaws, please let me know.”

Smile-

“If you do that, I promise to kill you without any pain.”

Is the mercy I give precious?

After finishing speaking, Monica quietly pressured Do Yu-jin with a smile and her eyes.

And Do Yu-jin.

“… … ”

I looked at her like that and quietly opened my mouth.
