Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 136

What is the most important thing when making a weapon?

Performance, cost performance, stability, durability, design, etc. There is nothing that is indispensable to a weapon craftsman. You can only call yourself a true craftsman if you do your best in all of those fields.

However, the production of this gunblade… As Kertatus puts it, the most important thing in the corkscrew was firepower, and nothing else.

Guns, firepower, and explosions. A combination of words that a man cannot help feeling romantic. Well, aside from such an ideal story, the gunblade was a combination weapon of a firearm and a sword, so it had the ideal conditions for increasing firepower.

From the material and structure, the explosion resistance was raised to withstand strong explosions, and the maximum attention was paid to heat resistance and magic conductivity so that the weapon could withstand a large amount of pure magic power.

Basically, it has all the functions of a mass-produced gunblade. When you pull the trigger, you can increase your kinetic power with the firepower of the mana bullet and even attribute damage accordingly.

The second hidden feature I’ve touched the most. To put it simply, it’s ‘accumulation strike mode’.

When the trigger is pulled, the mana is not released along the cylinder, but the mana itself rotates in the circuit. The mana spinning faster and faster in the gunblade with each pull was like turning up a gear on a car engine.

What if the torque and explosive power were given to the magic power condensed to the limit?

The answer was the scene right in front of me.

The heat of the flames roaring in the deep-ditched ground. Half of the mansion of a wealthy man, which was comparable to Yuna’s mansion, was blown away without a trace, and the remaining half was shattered in half, and the wreckage of the building was falling mercilessly.

Even after blowing up the building like that, the firepower was still surplus, and the area dozens of meters in front was horribly devastated by the flying debris from the explosion.

‘It’s much more amazing than I thought.’

At this level of power, the name season of an S-class Hunter was not envious.

Of course, I can’t use that kind of power too much, and since it must have consumed all the magical power of the magic stone mounted on the gunblade, I have no choice but to wait a long time for it to recharge naturally or use that much magic stone like a battery… Yuna is overflowing with money, so it’s okay if you don’t have to worry about that.

Thousands of elite members sensed the enormous magic power and immediately tried to hide or run out of range, but it was not an attack that could be avoided. It was not even visible whether half of the 10,000 mils at this location had evaporated in the explosion or been buried in rubble.

Fortunately, no allies, including Seo Hee and Ji Soo, were caught in the explosion. Yuna’s marksmanship… Since it’s a beam attack, is it a bit like shooting? Anyway, I didn’t worry too much from the beginning because I believed in her skills, but it was a surprising feeling to pour firepower into a position where she would only get involved even though it was the first weapon she had ever used in her life.

[Kilgak looks like a ghost. Would you do well with a duo with me?]

In my head, Kertatus uttered an incomprehensible sound, but as always, I ignored it. Whether it’s the Internet or the game these days, it’s harder to understand the words than before, as they use unfamiliar community neologisms on the subject of demons.

“… Mmm.”

“This is….”

From powerful reinforcements to new weapons that have never been heard of before. Perhaps realizing that the situation was at a disadvantage, the survivors exchanged glances without speaking, then nodded once and divided into two groups.

Four turned towards us, one turned his back, and ran away without looking back.

“Damn it! Run away!”

“Follow me! Catch!”

Was the rest trying to buy time while one got away? Anyway, since I don’t know what kind of useless things will happen if I miss it, it seemed better to chase it right away.

With the physical stats of Yuna and other lower guild members, it was impossible to chase, so a few quick-footed people, including me, moved right away. However, the 10,000-year-old guy who had blown the wind blade at me earlier stood in my way with an expression determined to die.

“Get out of the way!”

One person in front of me and Jisu, one person in front of Sangwoo Sang and Im Ahran, and two people clung to Seohee. This level was not dangerous or anything, but as time passed, the distance with the guy who was running away was gradually widening.

I miss it at this rate. Just as I was thinking about that, a middle-aged man who looked like a bandit fell from the roof of the half-destroyed mansion and brandished a huge sword.

“Hraaa!!”

“Kuuk!”

Manma-ryun, who appeared out of nowhere and took a direct hit, lost consciousness while rolling on the floor like garbage, making a sound of air escaping. It was Ha Seok-cheol who narrowly avoided Yuna’s accumulating blows, but was blown away by her aftermath.

“hahahahaha! You bastard, I finally caught you!”

The guy caught running away must have been one of the two pincers attacking Ha Seok-cheol just a moment ago, and Ha Seok-cheol had a proud look on his face as he avenged his revenge.

I caught the guy who was running away, so there was nothing to hold back. It was impossible to stand against this person with only four people left, so all the others were overpowered and knelt on the floor.

“Are you finished?”

“I don’t see any presence around me.”

Seo-hee answered my question by leading the sword into the scabbard. Because she is more sensitive to feelings than anyone else, Seo-hee, if she says she doesn’t exist, it’s true that she doesn’t exist.

After her battle was over to some extent, Yuna gathered her guild members and ran to my side.

“Binary!”

“Billion!”

Before I could greet her, she came into my arms. Her bright golden hair tickled the nape of her neck, and the pleasant smell of perfume could be felt even in the acrid smoke and dust.

Seohee’s expression on the other side was crumpled. Jisoo also had a calm face, but somehow her gaze was very stinging. The atmosphere was unusual, so I gently pushed away Yuna, who was clinging to me.

“Are you okay? Are there any injuries? How the hell did you know? No, more than that, what is that? What have you been making?! I was so freaked out! I thought I had flown all the way to Lee Jin, so… And what are these raiders? At first, I thought it was an assassin sent by my uncle, but what kind of commotion is this? I knew that my uncle had a connection with Manma-ryun, but I can’t imagine going this far in earnest-“

“Wait, wait. Calm down for now.”

I patted the overly excited Yuna on the shoulder to calm her down. In my heart, I wanted to take my time and explain it slowly, but everything wasn’t over yet. Ten thousand cadres would still be waiting in the basement, and there was a possibility that they would notice the commotion and move.

Should I catch them with this power before they run away? It was risky, but considering the possibility of calling in reinforcements from the outside and missing them, maybe it would be better-

“Cool, cool!”

“Gagging… ! Oh, no! Please live….”

As I was lost in thought, screams erupted from all directions. When Manma-ryun Elite, who had been suppressed and tied up, let out a desperate breath, Ji-soo took out a cane and shouted.

“Cursed! Get well soon!”

“Yes, yes!”

In order to lift the curse, Jisoo raised her magic power, and a healer with a recovery skill hurriedly ran, but the curse was activated faster than that. All members of the 10,000-strong organization hung their heads helplessly with faces full of despair, spitting out black dead blood.

“… ….”

I put my fingers on their nape. The pulse no longer beat.

They are all dead.

‘Damn it.’

After all, they were a group of heinous criminals, so even if they died in front of their eyes, they thought it would be a comfortable death compared to what they had done so far. My teeth trembled at the cruelty of the tens of thousands. Seeing them risking their lives for their time, I thought even criminals had at least some camaraderie, but these guys were just cursed and had no other option.

“The magic is moving.”

“What?”

“These people were sacrifices too. A considerable amount of mana is flowing underground.”

It was obvious where the destination was if it was underground. Even the victims he had killed so far and even his subordinates were used as magical sacrifices for the ritual.

Seohee’s ears pricked like rabbits. She calmly focused on the sensation, then she opened her mouth in a firm voice.

“I hear a sound from below. We are fighting.”

“… Wait. I’ll check it with my familiar.”

I left my familiar in the basement in preparation for an emergency. Jisoo closed her eyes tightly to check the underground through the eyes of her familiar.

“Are you still fighting?”

“No, it was over in an instant. Hunter Hunter… Got the item That….”

Hunter Some people around me held their breath at the name Hunter, but I was more surprised to hear that I had obtained an item. Did you really get the quest item through the unexpected probability? Why now?

Baek Ji-su hurriedly opened his eyes and grabbed my wrist. It was an urgent expression of emotion, rare for her.

“We have to hurry.”

“What’s up?”

“I found the key. A secret passage will open… !”

With those words, thud! And the air inside the tower became heavy.

Instinctively, I realized that something had changed. But before he could properly identify what it was, the screams of monsters echoed in all directions from far away.
