Kuro no Maou

"Yes, this is the gun we mass produce. Name it, 'Crow Rifle'"

Today we present a new weapon of dreams, a rifle gun, sent to you by the gifted alchemist Simon Friedrich Baldier and the powerful tag of a skilled Stratos blacksmith workshop.

Look, this sophisticated design. This is arguably one point of arrival for functional beauty, free of any waste. The harmony between boneless steel and the graceful wood painting grip and stock is truly a work of art!

"It looks much like the prototype rifle I made before, but the contents are pretty simplified. The number of parts is about half, so it's easy to maintain, and most importantly, hard to break."

Beautiful 'Crow Rifle' but also guarantees durability as a weapon. Don't worry, you rough adventurer. Burning deserts, extreme cold snow mountains, dense forests full of poisonous marshes, and any dungeon, this' Crow Rifle 'will perform steadily.

"It's the same power as a prototype rifle, but it's just a little more loaded"

Now, adventurers will be most concerned about its power.

Not surprisingly, with this tiny bit, not only magical swordsmen and warriors, but also healer (Priest) daughters get the same attack power and range as average lower attack magic.

"I still can't have automatic on the boulder, so I'll stay in bolt action"

It is simple to use. Stand by, aim, pull the trigger. What do you say, it's easy? You don't need to remember long spells or draw complex magic formations. Don't worry, even you proud of your inability to read and write calculations. 'Crow Rifle' will always provide magical power in one action.

If you shoot one shot, it won't end there. On hand, yes, that's it, try pulling that lever. Empty pods drained, and the next bullet loaded, right?

Yes, this simple motion alone allows' Crow Rifle 'to shoot the next shot right away. Faster, surer, more capable of a series of attacks than a lousy new magician chanting!

"In the meantime, if you're dealing with monsters up to about rank two, I think it's enough performance. If you can even get through the bullets, you can hunt for Rank 3."

You're still the runaway adventurer. Hard to say, you're not a blessed companion you can count on. Have you ever had this experience?

A monster of enough strength to hunt, found in a dungeon. But there's a bit of a high number. There's only one nasty guy mixed up... just a little risky to challenge. Wise adventurers will have to give up in tears, skipping my differences in power.

But with one strand of this' Crow Rifle ', I won't make you feel that sorry!

You don't need magic talent or bow skill. In the right way, aim, shoot. This is all we can do to hunt monsters, safely from a distance.

A sure means of ranged attack will revolutionize your adventurer life. The range of tactics you can take is infinite, depending on how you use them. Come on, take this' Crow Rifle 'and aim for a one-ranked prey!

"For the price, it's undetermined."

In addition to the cash lump sum, payment methods can be made in up to twenty-five instalments. More now, we will also have a comforting melee offering, a gunsword (bayonet) to wear on your rifle!

I'd like you to meet Stratos Blacksmith or the nearest Mordred Arms Chamber.

"- What, brother, are you listening?

"Oh, I'm listening."

How come Simon is so eager to explain a mass-produced rifle, it's become a makeshift show-style monologue in my mind.

With Simon, I was led to the factory where the rifle was manufactured before heading to the 'Ruins of Micaine' to find the enchanted golem.

This is one of the factories owned by the Mordred Weapons Chamber, as Simon explained before. The size is about the size of a school gymnasium, a building like a boneless stone warehouse. It makes you feel somewhat old, but it's well built, and again, it's a fine one.

Equipment for producing guns, of course, is all in front of itself. There is no such thing as tools and equipment to make guns in the first place in this other world. Of course, you have to make a set of bullets and gunpowder as well as parts of the gun body. Including all of them, Simon said he also designed and made the production equipment himself.

Thanks to you, they blew up more than half of that in this capital investment, even with a bounty that would be quite a fortune.

"I hope they sell guns."

"Business is something you do with temperament."

Demand for rifles will probably be in the under-skilled beginner, intermediate, and other adventurer classes. Only those who do not have a companion of magicians capable of handling stable and powerful attack magic, do not possess superior bow skills, and lack such means of ranged attack need guns.

Conversely, if you become a magician like Lily or Fiona, it's like a gun or some other toy, and you don't have to equip it at all.

It is detrimental in appealing to an adventurer's floral form, not to be seen by a higher-ranked adventurer above rank 4. However, the majority of adventurers are adventurers below rank 3, such as elementary and intermediate. There are many other small organizations that do not have first-class users, such as village vigilantes. The demand layer itself should be thick.

"In the meantime, this crow rifle is the only one I can sell out"

"What about machine guns?

"It's somewhat miniaturized, but it's still a bit to sell"

An installed weapon, when it's big enough, you can't carry it and go on a quest. You can carry it with space magic (dimension), but an adventurer with such a thing would have about the means of attack magic with more power than a machine gun.

"I'm going to improve it one by one. But if I put in an order, I'd like it to be installed."

"You can replace half of the dome cannons (baristas) in Sparda's castle with machine guns now."

"Because the military doesn't have enough track record to officially recruit"

After all, isn't it that easy? If there's a new weapons recruitment competition in the Spartan army, there's a chance of appeal.

In the meantime, it's the only way to spread the word in the tunnels.

"Well, looks like everyone's ready, and it's time to go"

A tour of the factory ended, and I set off with Simon's party, Gunslinger, on a survey quest to Micaine's Ruin City, which was my original purpose.

After three days of running the carriage from Sparda, we made it to our destination safely and quickly stepped into the dungeon.

"Come on, it's a shiitake dungeon, isn't there a monster out there at all!

An hour early when weathered stone buildings begin to walk side by side, it is Gardan of the Golem, a member of 'Gunslinger', who sounds grumpy.

That if you look from the side, you somehow know that he has a character unrelated to words like patience and patience. Even during the Galahad war, only one person was slightly protruding into Elio's position.

Now, the limit of his patience would be even shorter than usual, because he's wuzzling to release the new Gatling gun type of machine gun that he's equipped with quickly.

The machine guns that Gardan is equipped with are only a little smaller than the prototyped gatling guns that Simon also used during the war, and are not very portable in normal humans. Because it's a big, powerful golem, it can only be used as a portable weapon. Well, even I can have it at my leisure, if I want to. "The Grid," by weight, is the same thing.

"Ugh, Gardan. What if I suck at attracting Yabbatsu because of the shouting?"

It was Zach, the big man with the skinhead, who gives a genuine adventurous attention to Gardan, who roughs up the red first (mono-eye). The gear is responsible for Battle Axe as seen one day and, in addition, Crow Rifle, a new product that has a reputation for targeting one-ranked prey.

As a member of "Gunslinger," the handling of guns was a good thing, as he continued to carry out practical tests between prototype and crow rifle completion. When it disassembles and assembles perfectly, I get Simon's ink.

However, it seems the aim is still sweet. But it would be a little pathetic to do it compared to Simon's skill.

"What the hell, Zach, isn't Omei always freaking out and stupid!

"Look, this punk, this gun, it's magical, it's not talented, it's an ordinary man, it's an awesome weapon that lightly unleashes an instant, long-range attack, but it doesn't go through bullets. It's powerless for the target."

Zach already seems to understand the characteristics of the gun. Is it also quick to understand because, like Gardan, he is a human being who is infinitely close to ordinary people, without a stubborn flesh from the beginning or special abilities?

Anyway, this dungeon also contains gargoyles made of stone. You may not be able to pierce and crush a hard stone body with a crow rifle. Others, even opponents with goblin merges, who are good enough defensive magic to prevent bullet power, are equally poor minutes.

Even if this other world has guns from the original world, the monsters are not sweet opponents enough to be light and unrivalled, which is the scary part.

"Heh, I can't help but kick some grubby fish in the ass! I'm after a bigger prey!

"Just kicking the grubby fish in, it was awesome enough. Even kittens and daughters like this, if you pull the trigger, you get one shot at the goblin."

"That's right! Nyah is amazing!

You won't be praised, I told you not to get stuck.

When I see Nyako, the youngest, 15-year-old cat beast (warcat) girl among these members who has just grown up this year, happily picking up a cat, I can't say that about giving her water.

I know about this kid. I remember my face well because I was the only healing magician (Priest) among those isolated by the walls during the Battle of Lynnfeld.

I don't know because I jumped out on the way, but apparently, during that battle, Zach and I got along. He went out of his way to follow 'Gunslinger' for more reason than being nostalgic, because he simply didn't have a place to go because his key healing magic skill is a bad idea over the Rank 1 Adventurer. It's a tough spot for new adventurers.

In fact, Nyako stands out for her young words and behavior, which she seems to be able to rely on as a very adventurous person, but she has already had many experiences of finishing off goblins with one blow. Just because even the main healing magic can be activated with a full chant of 'Minimal Healing (Lesser Heel)' with a five-fifths chance, it can't have a combination of minimal attack magic that protects itself or supports your people. Whatever, martial arts, etc.

Even if she only has the equivalent of such a young girl, yes, if this' Crow Rifle 'has a penny, about goblins, not enough to be afraid of. Correct, even a weak healer (Priest) daughter is relieved.

Nyako had a short wand (wand) for healing magic on his hips, and from his shoulders he was hanging a crow rifle, just like Zach.

By the way, it is Simon's assessment that although disassembly assembly is still a little suspicious, shooting skill is better than Zach's. The fact that both guns and healing magic can be used may mean that her class should be named 'Hygienist' or something.

"But this time your brother's giving me about escorts, and most monsters don't care."

"Hehe, it's not like that."

"Hey, it's enough for me to protect Simon!

"Stop wasting your time. That Nyatmea Berserker is no match for Gargnan."

"Oh my God, you nymphomaniac!

"I'm gonna call Nyako!

"Hey, that's why I'm telling you not to make a scene."

As far as this goes, some party members do seem good. Simon will also finally be blessed with his companions and it will be a fun adventurer's life.

Oh, my God, when I'm a little near it, I feel ants in my sensors. Well, even with my own senses, I'm guessing.

"Everybody stop, at the crossroads a hundred meters away, the monsters are coming out."

"Copy that, alert!

In response to my enemy report, party leader Simon immediately skips the command to prepare for battle. Just as members are used to it, so shut up and get into placement.

Zach and Nyako around Simon, left and right. Me and Gardan on both ends.

It's a big street we're on right now. If enemies are coming from right in front of you, it would be natural to concentrate your firepower in a side-by-side row.

"... Coming!

"Whoa, that's worse than I thought."

"Heh, aren't goblins, skeletons and oaks just miscellaneous fish!

"Attch's noticing Koch too!

The group of monsters formed a herd with Zorozolo and appeared on the main street. The number is twenty. Is it there or something? Gardan's right, it's a mixed unit of three different monsters, but it's also human and doesn't have any special abilities, so just be vigilant - no, wait.

"Isn't that strange that different monsters are putting together?

Simon is right.

This dungeon is a dangerous city where people of different races compete with each other. Never, every monster unites to attack adventurers, not coalitions. There is no intelligence enough to establish a diplomatic strategy in which wild monsters, like humanity, negotiate to form an alliance with the Fae and cooperate with each other, etc.

Still, if we can rule different monsters together...

"They're undead. Someone's in service."

This sign of magic, no doubt. Above all, if you look closely, various scars are noticeable on the body of the monster that appears. Inside, obviously fatal injuries and even big ones.

Always this guy, he goes undead.

"Anyway, we just have to intercept it first. Let's do it, Simon -" Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth) ""

Fighting is inevitable. As a last resort, I will create a wall that will cover all members. The bumpy and pitch-black walls stand within an instant, but in front of each are open guneyes for shooting. It's like a simple tortica.

"Yeah! Everybody, stand down."

Simon has "Thunderbird," Zach and Nyako have "Crow Rifle," Gardan has the prototype Gatling Gun II, and I have "The Grid," waiting for the undead monsters to come up and storm this way with ambition.

Among the enemies there is a slight mix of guys armed with bows and bowguns, and they are starting to release arrows early and sporadically. But the defense on the front is already complete. No one has to panic or be afraid, enough, attract.

"- Shoot him. Huh!

By Simon's decree, fire-breathing barrels simultaneously. Me and Gardan's crucible fire immediately destroyed the avant-garde of an imminent enemy by waving up a sword or axe. From a certain distance to the future, I won't let you get any closer to this one.

Rifle-equipped threesomes pinpoint enemy archers.

Even when it comes to the undead, I know all along that they are never immortal beings. Dealing with the corresponding damage to the flesh, scattering false vitality, they go back to eternal sleep.

"Shooting, stop!

Soon, the undead troops were wiped out. Something like good results.

"After all, I'm glad you had a brother. The firepower is completely different."

I'd like a weapon.

With or without this gun, it's completely different, because I tasted it so badly in the Battle of Gratney Oct. It is a full firepower.

"Phew, I feel safer with your brother than Mr. Sophie."

"Well, thank you."

Simon's smile is dazzling. My heart is washed. I don't think I've seen a girl's pure smile lately.

"Hey, you're in good shape, Temei! I would have beaten out more enemies now!

"Huh? A regular machine gun and your brother's" The Grid. "Then you're more than ten times different in serial firing speed, so you're not wacky like that."

Before Simon's objection pointing his mouth at the fact that the performance difference was absolute, Gardan looked somewhere depressed. Could it be that you wanted to show Gardan, Simon a good place? I know how you feel, you're a cute friend.

"Still, how could you be undead..."

"Aside from the skeletons, don't ask him if the monsters are undead."

"Goblins and O.K. were zombies!

This is not the nest of undead monsters, unlike Rich-dominated 'The Catacombs of Resurrection (Revival Catacombe)'. Naturally occurring skeletons are enough to be somewhat urry, many of them living monsters.

"Maybe, like in Ischia, a monster manipulating a monster appeared"

"No, he's the work of a necromancer - hey, are you looking at us? Why don't you say hello?"

Turn the barrel of "The Grid," which raises the smoke with the shush. Before I go for it, a crow stuck at the end of the house.

Yes, this crow is a demon of use (Servant). Because it conveys visual information and the like quite clearly to the operator, or the signs of magic are quite different compared to normal animals.

"... come on, the boulder is the hero of the Galahad War and the famous' Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker) 'lord"

From the crow, a deaf, tall man's voice echoed. Does it even have a voice communication function? Excellent.

Basari, and the crow of the devil, winged, fell right in front of us, precisely at the top of the "Black Earth Wall (Shield Deer Earth)," which is still in shape.

Still, I didn't know my face was cracked... you're really becoming a celebrity, me.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"My name is Zonder Zoldert. I am a Necromancer, a journeying corpse psychic."

Hmm, you're a stranger.

"Oh, Zonder!?

Oh, there was someone on our team who knew.

"You know what, Zach?

"Hey, husband... his name has been on guild arrangements for decades."

By the way, Zach calls me husband. Simon calls you Boy. I kind of feel like a bandit's head, but at this point, let's keep it.

"A criminal."

"That's right, he's vicious. I grabbed dozens of kids and sacrificed evil gods, and I returned the Knights who came to crusade and turned them all into zombies... pretty bad guys. Come on."

"Goddamn it, you don't listen well. Everything I do is for a noble magical quest. Well, you don't understand the ordinary people."

"Finally, you mean a crazy killer with a head"

"Really rude, I turned this dungeon monster into me (Simobe), didn't I? It could be said to have prevented people from being attacked by these monsters."

"So what are you going to do with this massive amount of me (Simobe)?"

"Whatever the sacrifice, it's safe to sacrifice… Kuck, such a legion of monsters would easily capture all the inhabitants of one or two small villages"

Absolutely, the worst answer to revulsion. Even without the Crusaders, there are these evil guys, so it's horrible to have a society of people.

"Well, I get it. I won't stand in your way, miss this place."

"You're the one who likes to joke. After knowing my answers, I'm going to ask you all the way - surround them, me and them."

Around Russia, there are signs of intense dark primitive magic. Is this... summoning, doing?

Perhaps Koitz catalyzed and pre-planted the summons during this dungeon. Now The Ruins of Micaine is the root castle of an evil necromancer.

"Wow, this is..."

"Hey, hey, don't suck..."

"Heh, all the miscellaneous fish just show up!

"I'm full of ni!?

From the front and back of the street, armed undead monsters appear in groups. The organization is likewise skeleton, goblin and oak. In addition, several large ones, such as Minotaurs and Cyclops, are mixed.

Not only did it emerge, but both the bowed undead stand alongside the uneven on the rooftops and windows of the collapsing building standing to the left and right. Put a big bow on the roof, and a gargoyle figure.

Well, he just makes sure he's confident, and he's got a pretty good head count of legions. I can't compare myself to those bandits there. It's a little knight-like and full of strength.

"Completely surrounded"

It is already certain in me that I will stick the neck of this heinous criminal corpse psychic (Necromancer) out to his guild. Missed it, I said, because for now, the Simmons "Gunslinger" only wanted them to get away for safety and then also report it to the Spartan army.

Well, you don't imitate being stupid to miss your evil ambitions after you belabella talked to the boulder.

"Goddamn it, just as my army of undead is ready today, I'm so lucky to meet Lord Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker), rank five adventurer... with you as an ingredient, I can undoubtedly create the most powerful me (Simobe)! Great, the birth of an immortal hero!!

Is that what my body is for? Damn it, you want me on the same level as The Secret of White. Increasingly unforgivable - but the problem is this totally besieged situation.

"Come on... everybody, stand up"

"Boy, whatever it takes, this number is bad."

"Heh, such a corps of mutton fish, I'll kick your ass with your power!

"Nyah! I can't do this anymore!

Even if this one's armed with a gun, the difference in numbers is historical. I've just been stormed back and forth by that number of people, and it's visible that I can't contain them. Besides, they even have archers on the roof. On such a promising street, you can be sniped off from above all you want.

It's impossible for a boulder to beat this number while protecting everyone, no matter how much I am.

"But I just have to do it, I have to! Brother, walls in all directions."

"No, Simon, just one thing first, I want to try"

There is only one way for everyone to get through this situation safely. I don't know if it will work, but it should be worth a try.

"Come on, my sweet little me (Simobe). Yo! Best Mad Warrior material ever, under me!!

Under the first decree, the Undead army roars up and starts raiding - just before that, I pulled a wave of weapons out of the shadows.

"- Sing," Horned Grave ""
