Chapter 97: Unlocking Armor-Piercing Bullets
Chapter 97: Unlocking Armor-Piercing Bullets
Light travels faster than sound. Before Kamiyu could hear anything, she saw a beam of blue-white lightning streaking directly toward the Chimera Boss’s head.
Only then did the “zizi zizi” sound reach her ears.
This distinct “staggered” sensation—seeing the light first and hearing the sound afterward—spoke volumes about the power of this weapon and the Magic Bullet fired by this Skill.
The Frenzied Lightning Arrow mode was called “Frenzied” because it combined five Arcs into one, adding to the base bullet damage to create a sixfold damage effect.
After the Frenzied Lightning Arrow was fired, the air around its trajectory distorted, dust kicked up from the ground, and the surface of stones near the muzzle crystallized, forming glass-like crystalline structures.
Kamiyu noticed that the muzzle of the NTW-40 had melted, and the Gun Barrel was steaming hot. She exclaimed, “Wow, is this for real? One shot took 50 Durability off my gun.”
“Sigh, I’ll have to find materials to repair the Durability when I get back.”
However, the cost was high, but so were the rewards.
Kamiyu didn’t even need to look up to check the Chimera Aberrant Beast Boss’s Health, because the “ding ding ding” Hint sounds in her mind told her the battle was already over.
It was just that “simple and unadorned”—one Headshot to end the fight.
It felt like the Magnum from the Gundam Unicorn, shattering an asteroid with one shot—no, with one blast.
Kamiyu couldn’t help but habitually utter the word “Drop,” as professional players often did.
Jack didn’t even have time to use his Golden Body. If he had known it would be so Easy to instantly take down the Aberrant Beast, he wouldn’t have worried so much.
He had already prepared a full Combo to keep the Chimera Aberrant Beast by his side, preventing it from attacking Kamiyu. Jack had even considered cutting himself with a knife and smearing his blood on the Black-Scaled Snake Armor to trigger the 5x Defense boost.
Jack thought to himself that he should reflect on this—he had truly underestimated Kamiyu.
Jack even leveled up once.
Kamiyu gained 5,000 Experience Points and thought to herself, “Level 20 really does give more than Level 15.” This harvest was rich: saving someone revealed a secret shortcut, and one shot earned 5,000 Experience. With just four more shots, she could reach Level 11.
She thought to herself cheerfully, “Leveling up is as easy as taking a stroll.”
【Ding, Experience Points +5,000】
【Level 10: 81,365/100,000】
Beside the corpse of the Aberrant Beast Chimera, a large pile of materials Dropped:
20 kg of Magic Crystal Ore, 20 kg of Black Iron Ore, 15 kg of Brass Ore, 5 kg of Silver Ore;
Aberrant Beast Raw Hide200, Aberrant Beast Heart5, Aberrant Beast Shattered Bones*50 kg;
Strangler Vine200, Radaman Grass200, Withered Shadow Grass200, Howling Moss200;
Scattering Prism10, Haze Crystal10, Clay200, Ash Stone200;
Common Tier Sickle1, Common Tier Dagger1.
Kamiyu stuffed all the materials into her Storage, not even sparing the corpse itself, which could be used to craft Weapons and Armor.
She pondered carefully. Aside from discovering the secret passage, the biggest gain from this encounter was learning about the Bug in the Thunderstorm Bullet’s Arc Splatter Mode.
This Skill didn’t just generate five Arcs with 100% Damage each. Instead, every time the bullet made contact with a Monster, it would produce five Arcs.
In that case, as long as I unlock Armor-Piercing Rounds and use them in combination, I can achieve the effect of killing dozens or even hundreds of monsters with a single shot. This would be perfect for use in Hell Tide.
Action speaks louder than desire. I still have 8 Enhancement Points left, so I’ll unlock Armor-Piercing Rounds immediately.
Kamiyu opened the Enhancement Interface Panel, inserted the NTW-40 into it, selected Magic Bullet, and expanded the list.
She said skillfully, “Unlock the Magic Bullet branch—Armor-Piercing Bullet, consume 2 Enhancement Points, confirm.”
A crisp and pleasant clanging sound rang out: 【Unlock successful. Magic Bullet branch—Armor-Piercing Bullet has been converted into a No-Cooldown Skill.】
【Armor-Piercing Bullet, Effect: Effectively penetrates the “Armor Durability/Defense Power” of creatures, vehicles, buildings, and other objects. Each additional Magic Bullet stacked increases the armor-piercing effect by 100%.】
Kamiyu’s eyes lit up. “Oh ho, oh ho, it can even be used with stacking mechanics?”
After careful thought, she understood the meaning of this Skill description: Pull the trigger, fire one bullet, and penetrate armor.
But if the target’s Level is too high, their Defense Power is too strong, or they’re wearing ten or twenty pieces of armor at once, she could stack Magic Bullets onto a single Armor-Piercing Bullet.
Only one bullet is fired, but it can hit as if it were 10 bullets, or even 100 bullets—similar to the Frenzied Lightning Arrow of the Thunderstorm Bullet.
It feels like this is specifically designed for Breaking Defense, for destroying others’ Armor, whereas the Thunderstorm Bullet is just an added bonus.
“Insane, truly insane. Besides using this Armor-Piercing Bullet to kill monsters, it can also penetrate buildings. It feels like it’ll be used for sieging in the future.
Even if someone hides behind cover, I can first use Armor-Piercing Rounds to break through their shell, then use Curving Bullets to penetrate inside and wreak havoc.” Kamiyu immediately thought of a bunch of novel ways to use it.
“But the description of the armor-piercing effect for Armor-Piercing Bullets is quite vague. It doesn’t clearly state what can be penetrated and what cannot.”
“Forget it, now isn’t the time to delve into it. Now is the time to press the advantage, continue Mob Grinding, and fire ten or twenty thousand Magic Bullets first.” Kamiyu said to herself.
So the two of them entered the Teleportation Array, teleported out of the Instance Dungeon, and continued to clear the map again.
Although the weather in Crimson Earth was gloomy and overcast, always shrouded and enveloped in layers of mist, making people feel uncomfortable…
Inside the Valley of the Deathly Echo, the passion of two people was burning fiercely.
“Hahahaha, killing feels so good. Come on, keep coming!” Kamiyu wildly sprayed with the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame.
Jack stripped off his clothes yet again, running naked in the Instance Dungeon. Only under Kamiyu’s strong insistence did he reluctantly agree to put on his Pants.
The two of them invented a new playstyle: Jack would lure all the Monsters into the Secret Passage for Kamiyu to kill.
Jack used his provoking Battle Roar to pull the Monsters into the passage, then lay down, allowing Kamiyu to fire wildly.
The shotgun, Demon-Repelling Holy Flame, unleashed tremendous lethality in the narrow tunnel, wiping out large swathes with a single shot.
Experience Points and materials skyrocketed, covering the ground.
Not even the Trash Mobs were spared—all were killed cleanly. All Magic Crystal Ore was collected into their possession.
The special effect of the Valley of the Deathly Echo accumulates and amplifies the various screams inside, then plays them for people outside the Instance Dungeon to hear.
Jack and Kamiyu frantically sped through, relentlessly accumulating the Monster’s agonized cries, forcing the Valley of the Deathly Echo to broadcast them.
At that moment, the sound from the Valley of the Deathly Echo was amplified to its maximum by the two of them, reaching the ears of people several kilometers away.
