Sadistic Player In A Fantasy Game World - Chapter 115: Half a master/Half a demon (2)

“Here, take this,” Gray grunted, using one hand to hold onto the reins while using the other to create a blood weapon. Blood ebbed from his hand, forming a crimson red pistol with an extended magazine. At its side, an obsidian black gem glimmered and a series of undecipherable encryptions ran all along its body.

{This is what I get for only adding snipers to my arsenal,} he thought to himself. Tesse was better off trying to fire a pistol than a massive sniper rifle on a moving horse, and besides, it wasn’t as if they were facing some massive enemy, the extra firepower wasn’t needed.

“You see anything move behind us, shoot it,” he ordered, passing the weapon over to Tesse.

Only four minutes passed before the black strip came into view, Tesse unloaded the bullets towards the entity, throwing it off their trail temporarily.

“Fuck,” whispered Gray under his breath, creating another blood pistol, this one with a crimson red gem at its center. He understood that he was outmatched in close combat, if he let Gazef anywhere near him he would be dead before he even knew what had happened.

Tesse continued firing, though he knew she would soon run out of bullets, and he wasn’t so keen on the idea of continuously creating ammo using his own blood. It was a battle of time, he had to reach the settlement if he had any hope of surviving this.

*Click* *Click*

Tesse pulled the trigger, but an empty click was the only response she got. Without even a moment passing by, the black entity zipped in front of their horse, slicing its head clean off, before attempting to decapitate Gray as well.

As the blood sprayed from the horse’s head, Gray shot frantically in front of him, rushing forward as the horse’s inertia was transferred to him. He tumbled, rolled once, and shot to his feet running, shooting blindly behind him as he rushed forward.

“Run!” he shouted, though Tesse was still recovering from the sudden fall. The cub got to its feet quicker and tugged at Tesse’s pants, willing her to move. Gazef was a black blur as he rushed towards her, his blade slicing through the air as he swung for her neck.

*Pap* *Pap*

Gray fired two rounds at the figure, before it turned into a black strip once again, avoiding the shots.

“Move!” he shouted, and Tesse broke out into a sprint. As they ran, trying their best to avoid the tree roots and other obstructions that lay on the path, Gray tossed his pistol towards Tesse and gestured for her to do the same. He filled the magazine with another set of rounds, feeling the blood drain from his body. The two of them shot behind them aimlessly, hoping to catch Gazef in their barrage.

Gazef rushed after them, once again transforming into a shadowy figure; zipping left and right as he avoided the bullets. The settlement was still several hours away, and that was on horseback, running there while being chased like this wasn’t an option. Gray’s gears turned at breakneck speeds, a solution had to be found, preferably before he ran out of blood reloading these pistols.

“Oi, get ready to snipe,” he shouted as the wind blew past him. He turned the pistol in his hand back into blood, before exuding even more blood and creating the 『T-1 Anti-tank rifle』, a black gem fastened at its side. The extra weight made him misstep, nearly causing him to tumble over.

“Run ahead and prepare to heal me, I’m going to try something,” he ordered, before tossing the sniper at her. He stopped abruptly and in one fluid moment, he swung around creating a crimson red greatsword with the 『Earth shatter enchantment rune』at its hilt.

Gazef took advantage of this abrupt stop, closing in on Gray with his blade. Gray took a deep breath, preparing himself before letting out a smirk.

“Earth Shatter,” he whispered, driving his greatsword into the ground. In that instant silence washed over the battlefield, what followed was a low rumble; the ground shook, creating a small-scale tremor that ate at the ground, turning it to dust before letting out an explosive boom.

Hearing this, Tesse stopped to turn back, but fought off the urge to run to Gray’s side. He had handed her the sniper for a reason, she was certain that he wouldn’t just blow himself up without a plan.

She quickly put her pistol to her waist before setting the rifle up, positioning herself in a prone posture to counteract the rifle’s recoil. As the dust settled, both Gray and Gazef’s bodies came into view. Tesse’s blood boiled in anger as she looked at Gray’s body -bloody and bruised- through the scope. Gazef on the other hand -though unconscious- had a layer of yellow light covering his body, it seemed to be a shield of some sort as he only had minor scratches.

“Die!” Tesse screamed, lining Gazef’s head with the center dot of her scope before firing. The recoil wreaked havoc on her shoulder, though she fought through the pain, biting down on her tongue before reloading and firing once again.

After every shot she would heal her shoulder, but the pain stacked, the fatigue stacked, and her bullets were limited, though that was not a problem. Though Gazef had collected himself after the second direct hit, the corruption gem was already at work, its black goo spreading throughout his body.

Tesse didn’t waste a breath, charging at Gazef once the black goo had spread to half his body.

*Left hook*

She planted her fist right into his face, not caring whether the goo touched her or not; she unloaded a flurry of punches, snapping his head back and causing him to tumble to the ground. Gazef tried to fight back, holding his hands in front of his face, though the goo ate away at his muscle fibers, making it nigh impossible for him to effectively defend himself.

She mounted him, holding him in place with her thighs before pulling out the crimson red pistol at her waist. Every bullet gored a bloody orifice into his face, and with every shot she felt a bit of her vitality return, though she didn’t care. Once she ran out of bullets she pressed the pistol’s barrel -still burning hot- at the side of his temple.

By now the goo had engulfed his entire body and he ceased to move. For a moment Tesse just stared at his lifeless corpse, breathing deeply as she tried to catch her breath.
