Chapter 778: Chapter 779 – Unknown Building – Part 5.
GreyHunt and Forgotten Murderer were locked in brutal combat.
The Forgotten being bounced off the walls, trying to catch GreyHunt off guard.
The demonic human was able to counter some of the blows with his golden blade or demonic gun.... However, each strikes launched by the Forgotten being were not only fast, but had a noticeable amount of weight on them.
GreyHunt used his golden blade combined with the demonic energies to blast away his surroundings... But even when the powerful strike did landed on the Forgotten being, it barely suffered any really damage.
The Murder tried swinging their claws at the demonic human, only for him in response to fire at the claws, knocking the back, before then securing few solid hits on the attacker... But only few, as the other bullets were dodged.
Afterwords, GreyHunt used this opportunity to make some distance and quickly reload his revolver with speed loader.
(This won’t be easy.) – thought GreyHunt as the Murder was already coming his way, forcing the man to clash his golden blade against the jagged blade.
(Not only it is fast, but it has some power behind those strikes!) – thought GreyHunt as the two sides started clashing their blades, trying to get to each other, while at the same time keeping each other in place.
(Those aren’t random ass swings! They are calculated ones!) – thought GreyHunt as both sides were nonstop switching between offence and defense.
The Murder tried unleashing his claws, while GreyHunt tried firing off his gun.
The two strikes collided with each other at the same time, canceling each other attempts to try and break the opponent line of defense.
[Shadow Blade Barrage]
However, GreyHunt wasn’t finished, as he unleashed from his shadow several blades that flew upwards, striking the Murder from below and giving GreyHunt a chance to land a solid strike with his golden swung, which he swung.
However, the Murder instantly raised up its guard with red claws and sword, somewhat blocking the hit. Not blocking it perfectly, but still, somewhat reducing the damage, which in turn allowed the Murder this time back away in time as GreyHunt did a fallow up attack with his sword.
"Tch!"
Before GreyHunt could even aim with his gun, the Murder suddenly grabbed its saber’s blade with the red claws, before then slitting it, making the creature bleed from its red hand.
GreyHunt saw it and without even bothering to think, he shot the creature, landing few hits with explosive demonic infused rounds.... But the creature this time wasn’t even bothering to dodge or defend.
No.
The jagged blade devoured the blood, causing the blade itself to change in nature, as it went completely pure red, just as the gauntlet, while at the same time, unleashing a somewhat faith red glow.
GreyHunt instantly noticed the change and got ready to fire his enchanted round.
...
But something happened.
The Murder instantly closed up the distance, almost like teleporting, instantly getting next to GreyHunt.
Before GreyHunt could even react in time, the blade already slashed GreyHunt across his entire body, dealing a critical amount of damage that ended up taking a good chunk of GreyHunt’s HP.
"[DEMONIC BLADE: DOOM SLASH]!" – shouted GreyHunt, unleashing a powerful strike of the demonic energy that straight up blew up the area around the man, which managed to stagnate the opponent for a bit.
"[Demonic Blade: Pandemonium Slash]!" – and right after explosion, GreyHunt unleashed a powerful strike, which landed a solid hit on the Murder and sent them flying.
"SHOT ME!" – shouted the Arch Devil Seven as the current bullet it had was the seventh manifested bullet.
"[Last Bullet]!" – GreyHunt fired off his enchanted bullet at Murder, landing a strike which dealt massive damage to the Murder.... But at the same time. They still stood in place, not even wobbling or feeling bothered after getting two massive hits like these.
"..."
"Hey. Brother." – said the talking gun.
"I know you normally want me to stay quiet and just murder... But-"
"Speak." – said GreyHunt as he aimed with the talking gun.
"What the hell is this creature?" – asked the talking gun.
"I’m weapon of murder forged by murder.... But.... This thing? It is a MURDER!"
"?"
"What do you mean?" – asked GreyHunt.
"I DON’T KNOW!" – shouted the gun.
"I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA!"
"..."
(The ADS never speaks during the battles unless he wants to make some random remarks or gets greedy for blood.) – thought GreyHunt as he got visible nervous.
(But for him to act like this? This never happened.) – thought GreyHunt as the "noises" were still bothering him.
"..."
(Not only him though.)
(I also feel something coming from that thing.)
(It is like Oron’s blood lust from back then.... I thought he would murder somebody there on the spot when I felt it.)
(But this bloodlust?)
(It is something different.)
(It is thick.) – thought GreyHunt as he could start feeling his body being enveloped in something... Something calm yet beyond terrified.... A single color.... Red.
(I’ve never felt anything like that....)
(And.... Is this really "game’s" doing?) – thought GreyHunt as the Murder rushed once again at GreyHunt, causing the clash of blades to occur once again.
GreyHunt tried knocking away his foe while also trying to back away, but the Murder wasn’t having it.
The furies of blows started getting way faster with way more power behind each strike.
And the blade wasn’t the only thing that was putting the pressure on GreyHunt.
The red claws strikes may had been slower than the sword, however each of the strikes launched by them were extremely powerful.
GreyHunt knew that if the claw were to get him, it could rip apart his body.
(Dammit! Was it holding back or did it buffed itself?!) – thought GreyHunt as he blocked claws with the Caliburn.... But at the same time, the Murder swung its jagged saber, aiming to strike GreyHunt in his face.
However, just in time, GreyHunt extended his forearm blade, blocking the strike, before then using [Shadow Blink], quickly getting away with the smoke shadow, creating some distance, before then using [Gun Instant Reload] and firing out [Pistole Art: Full Shot], firing off all his bullets as one, which managed to stagnant and push back the attacker, giving GreyHunt a moment to breath.
"[Pistole Art: Instant Reload]." – GreyHunt instantly used his second instant reload skill, reloading his revolver.
(The best combo I can do, the [Gunman Of Hell] combo, it is unavailable.)
(I can use [Gunman Of Hell] alone.... But I need to use the combo version.)
(That skill deals presentence damage and I can use [Pistole Art: Overcharged Magazine] and [Demonic Gun Art: Corrupted Magazine] alongside several other buff skills, making each shot feel like a straight up cannon.)
(But, to maximize the combo I need to be equipped with two guns at the same time... But... Fuck!) – thought GreyHunt as the murder started bouncing off the walls, celling and the floor, bouncing around and traversing the corridor as the incredible amount of speed, before then launching itself towards GreyHunt who swung his golden sword... Only for the Murder to suddenly grab the celling with its red claws, stopping itself in place instantly as the golden blade just swung in front of it, missing the its strike completely.
"..."
(Shit!) – thought GreyHunt as the Murder bounced off the celling and landed down, while landing a solid slash across GreyHunt’s body, before then kicking GreyHunt right in the stomach, not letting him get even a moment to breath.
(FUCK! I KNOW WHY THEY WANTED THIS DUNGEON!) – thought GreyHunt as he tried regaining his balance, but the Murder was already on the move.
(THIS FUCKING BOSS IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST BASTARDS I’VE FOUGHT SO FAR!)
The murder swung its blade and claws GreyHunt, aiming to rip him apart.
However, in the next moment, a blades of blood and fire bombarded the Murder from behind, stagnating the attacker, which in turn gave GreyHunt not only a chance to regain his balance, but also counter attack with [Sword Art: Instant Slash], and then firing off [Gun Art: Single Shot], firing off a powerful bullet right in the forehead of the Murder, making it straight up bend backwards.
"..."
But even after getting shot, the creature swung its jagged sword around, forcing GreyHunt to block with his golden blade, which in turn gave the Murder a time to regain their balance and quickly back away.
However, as it did, the hail of fire shots came its way, forcing the creature to swung its red claws, destroying some of the shots, but not all of them.... However, it destroyed enough shots to "not be bothered".
"..."
"Shit... What sort of monster is this?" – said Lilium as she emerged from the shadows alongside her blood and fire monsters.
"A dangerous kind?" – said GreyHunt as he took out a syringe potion and instantly injected himself with, causing his fresh wounds to start healing... But not quickly enough, which was instantly noticed by GreyHunt.
(Healing reduction?! Oh, for fuck’s sake!) – thought GreyHunt.
(....)
(This guy so far only fought using claws and blade... And barely saw any real special abilities....)
(Does that mean it has only extremely high stats?)
(Or... Does it have some nasty stuff it is preserving?)
(Either way.... This is going to be a long fight.)
