Chapter 66
Sam stared at the growing figure in the distance, belonging to the legendary Gun Devil. This devil was renowned on Earth, and everyone feared it in one way or another. With no news of its death, the Gun Devil remained as formidable as ever.
'This is a devil that could annihilate a city in one strike. I should be lucky to fight him.'
But alas, no mission was triggered. Just a boss fight.
[Boss Fight]
[Objective: Defeat the Gun Devil.
Reward:
30 million EXP
Infinite ammo effect: can shoot from an empty gun]
Well, he had no choice but to accept. The devil was here, and it seemed to have a specific killing intent. The devil's figure grew, easily reaching the size of a skyscraper, with a height over 200 meters.
Sam accessed his system and increased his stats.
[Agility up to 40 (Tier 4)] [Lightning Footwork up to level 12]
If he had to fight a bullet user, he had to be faster than the bullet itself. Although he had reached that level days ago against the woman who cut an army in a blink, it wouldn't hurt to be assured of victory. Besides, he didn't have to worry; he had Makima next to him, his soon-to-be wife, who felt scarier than the Gun Devil. What's scarier than a controlling wife. The irony.
Sam looked at the figure, which aimed its large building arm at them. From that arm, there were many rifles. Hanging from its floating body were building-sized bullets, and its head resembled a skull with a gun attached to it.
The water was really pretty, but the Devil ruined the beautiful scenery.
Sam inhaled a deep breath.
Bang
A very large bullet headed toward him and Makima.
Sam's body was covered in lightning. He held his Yamato with both hands, the blade at his face. He could see the bullet moving clearly and react in time.
The bullet was cut in half by the Yamato, splitting and knocking down many buildings behind him. Lives were taken.
Makima made a gun gesture with her fingers and shook them. Large shockwaves left her fingers, hitting the body of the Gun Devil. Due to the distance, the shockwave lost some strength. If the devil were closer, Makima would have dealt significant damage.
Nevertheless, that wasn't the only card up her sleeve.
Another gigantic devil appeared from the sky, also skyscraper-sized.
"What's that?" Sam asked, feeling that this devil was very strong.
"The Punishment Devil."
"Naughty," commented Sam.
Makima gave him a side-eye before inhaling deeply and shaking her head.
The Gun Devil aimed its arms at the Punishment Devil, who made it scream. Lightning, fire, and ice were being released at once from the Punishment Devil. Its arms turned into whips that landed on the Gun Devil, who desperately fought back with bullets.
Bullets were being shot, some reaching the Punishment Devil, who shouted. A gate appeared behind him as he retreated.
"We'll slowly exhaust him until he is out of power, and then kill him," Makima said, seemingly unworried. "Or better, we tame him."
Who could blame her for choosing this slow-kill approach?
None of them could die.
However, she didn't know Sam knew that, thanks to his system.
So it was wiser if he just kept quiet and pretended not to know anything.
Sam thought about how to approach the Gun Devil and cut him.
He turned to Makima. If the spoilers he had read were true, she could send someone flying into the atmosphere of Earth.
He smiled at her.
Not looking at him, she asked, "why are you smiling?"
"Can you throw me there, to the Gun Devil?" Sam thought about that scene in One Piece, where Zoro cut Pica in half. Well, Pica was at least five times taller than the Gun Devil. But still, with the new sword, Sam was certain that he could cut him in half.
"You have a plan?" Makima asked.
"Yes." Sam nodded.
Without any hesitation, Makima held Sam by his collar and raised him. "Gladly."
Drawing an awkward smile on his face, Sam turned and said, "Not worried about my safety?"
"Nope. You got this," she said.
Her careless response confirmed something.
She was the one who made him undead, so when he died, he would come back to life.
She usually would advise him to stay calm and not rush. But this time, she didn't.
Before he could complain, he found himself flying at a very high speed above the sea, crossing hundreds of meters every second.
Guess there was nothing else he could do.
He unsheathed both swords, applied the grips on each other, and started rolling them.
'I should probably say something poetic to make this cut epic… But I'm not a poet like Zoro. Let me try.'
'Two slices of bread and cheese make a cheeseburger. Add some meat, a slice of tomato and greens, and you have a hamburger… Luckily, I didn't open my mouth first'
He ended up saying something simple, "There is nothing I can't cut."
By the time he finished his chanting, he was nearer to the Gun Devil's head. A slight layer of redness was on his cheek.
Sam knew that it wouldn't be possible to cut something this big with a normal sword swing. Because, let's face it, such a thing is damn too large, and he wasn't in the One Piece world.
Sam then unleashed his aura. The King of Hell aura weakened the devils by a third of their power. The devil stopped moving when Sam released that aura and looked at him with its expressionless face.
'Let's try air blades.'
He then waved both swords, releasing air-blades that collided with each other. The waves from the blades cut through the flesh of the Gun Devil, causing a wider cut.
'This gives me an idea.'
Sam stood on the air, sheathed one sword, kept the Yamato in his hand, then used the blade-vortex repeatedly.
From his extremely sharp sword, vortexes of air blades appeared, causing large cuts on the Gun Devil's face.
The gun on the Gun Devil's face was cut in half and fell to the ground, causing a large wave.
Sam didn't stop. Once he reached the devil's face, he stood upon it and then started running on it, spamming his skills on the neck area, causing large cuts.
The Devil howled and started shooting bullets randomly. But he couldn't catch Sam, for it was like scratching your own back with short arms. The Gun Devil's head then started sliding.
