Distorted World: Rise Of The Black One - Volume 2 Chapter 64 22
Asher walked home alone
He decided to split off from the group to go buy some materials he needed for his plans tonight
He bought 20 mana potions (mid grade) negatively and positively charged manasteel (basically magic equivalent of magnets) and finally kinetite, a metal known for it’s lightweight and incredible ability to reflect kinetic energy directed at it
He was walking home with his “groceries”
When Asher reached the hotel he suddenly stopped
(As: I suddenly feel a disturbance, as if thousands of voices are telling me not to go into my room right now)
Asher thought having another premonition
“As: but I still need to go into my room so sorry”
Asher said continuing to go near his room
As he approaches the door Asher sensed an air of absolute terror lurking behind that door as if he was in a Jonathan’s personal reality again
(As: it’s probably my imagination)
Despite his better judgment telling him not to Asher approached the door
The moment he opened it
A confetti fire work exploded in his face making his hair sweaty with string-y stuff
(As: I regret my life decisions)
“E: welcome back”
Elise said
“As: and this is?”
Asher asked
“E: a celebration of course, it’s for our first successful practical lesson and the first celebrating the founding of the coalition”
Elise explained
“As: and you decided to do it *here*?”
Asher said annoyed
“Ai: oh? Are you saying you don’t like us here onii-chan?”
Airi said with an irritated expression
“As:…”
This shut Asher up completely
“As: you planned this didn’t you”
Asher said looking at Elise with his soulless eyes
“E: hey, I never said I wouldn’t use her against you”
Elise said shrugging her shoulders
(As: god f#cking dammit!!!!)
“As: sighs…fine, you can do whatever you want”
Asher said giving up
That night the coalition partied hard eating snacks and drinking until 11 o’clock
Asher walked to the back of the hotel to an abandoned building
“As: Jeez what high energy bunch of people”
(As: and they even fell asleep on my bed)
Asher thought annoyed
(As: but I do have to admit the snacks kinda make up for it, only a little bit though)
Asher thought about the aftertaste still in his mouth
(As: now let’s begin)
Asher took out the metals he bought earlier and began his work
“As: cedo”
Asher chanted
A black light begins engulfing the kinetite and the mana steel combining them into particular shapes
(As: concentrate imagine the exact shape, sized, ratio and function of each part you’ve done this a thousand times already)
Asher said remembering a certain detail about his past life as Murokume
(As: the shape and size needs to fit together perfectly while still fulfilling it’s intended purpose so I have to recreate this down to even the slightest detail, a single defect can waste it all for naught)
Asher began to sweat
After an hour or so he finally finished his work
(As: perfect I have done it)
Asher said holding up his masterpiece
A customized smith & Wesson model 629 with the length and width a tiny bit bigger than usual but insignificant nonetheless and a caliber specially tweeted for Asher’s purposes
The smith & wesson model 629 is a favorite of American hunters for self defense against bears, armed with a 44 magnum round it is easy to carry around and powerful to boot, you simply have to follow the old shooter’s saying “2 in the chest one in the head and you’re done”
But what makes Asher’s version so special is his build in Railgun system
The bullets are fired by generating a magnetic field inside the barrel, this is accomplished by pumping lightning magic into the barrel, so no gunpowder is needed
The bullets can be easily made, in fact Asher has already made more than a hundred rounds
(As: making a railgun out of a pistol is a mad idea on earth, but fortunately this isn’t earth)
Asher thought
Since the gun is made out of kinetite with the exception of the internal layer of the barrel the force discharged when a bullet is fired will be redirected back at the bullet, not only doubling the muzzle velocity but nullifying the insane recoil
(As: now let’s see if my aim and reload time is still as good as they’re used to be)
Asher put the gun into his robes
He had prepared a few white discs beforehand as target practice
He used magic to lift up and throw the discs into the air
12 discs were thrown about 20 meters straight up
Asher drew his gun
6 shots were heard
5 disc were broken
He reloaded
6 more broke
He twirled the gun and took the final shot
1 more broke
(As: damm I’m off about 1.3 inches and it took me a full 5 seconds to reload each time, I’ve gone dull)
Asher frowned
You might be wondering why does Asher need a gun? Well after that near death experience with Jonathan’s “test” he decided to make a fail safe in case things like that ever happen again
(As: muzzle velocity is around Mach 5, that’s 2,4 times greater than the highest recorded muzzle velocity of a pistol (well the highest recorded before I came around at least) which is 2300 FPS (feet per second) and it’s bellow the low end of a general use American Railgun which is about 4500 MPH (miles per hour) to 7800 MPH)
(Author: have fun doing the math b#tches!)
(As: but overall I’d call it a success)
Asher thought putting the gun back into his robes
At that moment something dawned on Asher
(As: success huh?…)
(As: I really do never change)
Asher contemplated for a while then looked up at the sky
“As: the moon sure is beautiful tonight”
He said
“As: welp, time to move on to the next experiment”
Asher said putting the pistol into his jacket
