BXBX NOVEL Chapter 176 - Black Hair
It wasn\'t bad though. Such a huge family, in the modern world, could be considered a gang.
However, it is just a shame that we can\'t mass produce guns. I was motivated to let them have guns to have more power, but it turned out that the gun became more complex.
After creating some formations that I learned from reading various books about magic, I imprinted some necessary parts of the gun..
It was huge for Ellena and heavy as well because I hadn\'t thought of making an alloy that could rival the Mythril alloy. Nonetheless, despite the fact that it has some weight that can be a hindrance, I dedicated some of my days to creating a structure that can reduce weight without affecting the properties.
And such a thing exists?! It\'s because of me. Maybe I invented that formation... maybe not. I actually took inspiration in the flying ship that we rode.
Well, it\'s not important, what\'s important now is that Ellena can use her magical elements more than ever.
She can make her elements into a bullet for the gun. It can be the present, or something less. Also, there\'s a catch. It becomes faster and more powerful and less consuming.
Still, there are things about the gun that needs to be improved, but this is enough to become overpowered.
Now, now... I have become more interested in geography more than ever.
Northeast of Gustav City, capital of Lumber Territory, is the Phlabian City that is not part of the County. In fact, Phlabian City is part of the Marquis territory of Marquis Phobious. And right now, our side goal is to make some name in the capital of the Marquis territory, the land of the landlord itself.
The capital was in the west of Phlabian, which was also our direction of travel. But it turned out that it wasn\'t the only one that needed to be looked at.
There are still some things going on in this territory that we need to study. Some unique monsters are lurking.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Consecutive blasts came from Ellena\'s gun, followed by Light, her sword, flying and slashing every neck of the monster coming to attack her.
It has been a week since we took a trip to the capital of the Phobious, but we still haven\'t had a chance to visit a city or a village. We have just been wandering here in the woods while Ellena was riding over Cules.
"It\'s frustrating. We\'re keeping our pace, right?" Ellena grumbled as it had been straight fighting since the morning came.
Indeed, it was strange. There had been no stop to this monster coming at her since early in the morning. It was as if what happened in the Rainforest where the Moonlight Tribe resided before.
Perhaps there\'s an overflowing dungeon here... But it won\'t be sufficient since it\'s also normal for these monsters to reproduce.
Right, they reproduce. Overflowing dungeons are not the only way for them to grow in numbers.
"There are still slug monsters!" Ellena exclaimed as she unleashed another ball of lightning from her gun. She blasted everyone before they could even come to her. Also, with the help of Light, she can kill the remnants that were not hit by the gun.
There were still plenty of them, making me tempted to support Ellena with a blessing. But she insisted on not using it since this could be training for her to increase her stamina.
Boom!
Ellena was gripping the gun, using the second grip of the F side of the gun above. After finally tiring her dominant arm, she switched over to her left and used it to hold the trigger.
It was constantly firing, with no pauses or breaks. But it all changed after finally killing the last slug.
Gross... these slugs are huge. Perhaps at the normal size of a dog. But what\'s grosser was their mucus. I can\'t handle looking at it since there are plenty of them.
"Finally... a rest," Ellena mumbled and sighed in relief.
"I beg to differ," I said and she immediately understood what I said.
She looked in the direction I was facing and saw an army of Giant Ants.
How giant? They are the size of a normal horse.
These are such huge monsters, they are at least in the B-rank of the list.
But still, it didn\'t stop Ellena or even made her agitated. She just kept on shooting, and even before they could come at her or move, they instantly died.
If I was a monster, I would call this a mass murder.
And after a few hours of the killing, Cules was still running forward. Ellena sighed.
"Finally... a rest." And I cut her again. Such fantasy is impossible right now, I guess.
"I beg to differ."
"What again?" she hissed in an irritated voice. Then she looked at what I was looking at.
In particular, I wasn\'t looking at a monster. Instead, I was looking at an individual who I was intrigued by since he was the first human we saw on the whole journey.
What\'s more interesting is that this person is still a kid and had... black hair.
Heaven\'s sake! We saw a kid with black hair! Perhaps that knowledge of the cursed child was true and not a stupid belief.
"He had black hair," Ellena mumbled and slowly tapped Cules to stop.
She slowly climbed off Cules and approached the kid who was laying down under a tree, wounded.
"He had plenty of injuries."
His face had too many bruises, as well as his hands and legs. What happened to him?
Questions already filled my mind, but one thing was sure. This happened to him because of his hair color.
"How many points do I still have, Aaron?"
"A total of 532 from the last time we checked."
"Right. Can you exchange some for a healing ability?"
Here we are. I was expecting this to come and just prepared myself.
"Yes. Healing ability called "Medication" is 50 points."
"Yeah. That one, I want it."
She\'s going to use it on the kid. I just hope that things will turn out well and Ellena will not try to take this kid under her.
Maybe he\'s 8 years old? I don\'t know, but he is still young to me.
I already installed the ability and looked at Ellena after it. With an interesting eye, I inspected her actions.
"Let\'s find out what happened here," she bumbled before finally using the Medication.
