Sakamoto suppressed his physical discomfort, remained calm, and quickly pulled the bolt back to chamber a bullet before raising the gun and aiming again.
The first bullet fired just now did not hit the attacker.
The attacker reacted immediately when he discovered that the flow of water elemental power was encountering unimaginable resistance, and changed his strategy.
From eliminating opponents remotely and stealthily to carrying out assassinations before the opponent can make a move.
Once you've eliminated everyone who can make a sound, you've successfully infiltrated the area.
With the help of the Eye of God, he precisely controlled the water elemental power, putting himself into a state of stealth, and rushed towards the soldier on guard.
He hadn't expected that the soldier on guard would recover from the discomfort caused by the water elemental attack so quickly, and even shoot at him.
Although the first bullet only hit his original spot and posed no threat to him, it was he who was exposed!
The loud gunshot would attract all the guards in the area.
Damn it, bad start! We've run into a tough opponent right from the beginning.
The attacker was consumed by impotent rage.
The plan, which had just been changed to "assassination," must now be changed to a full-scale attack.
Just as he was about to give the order for the squad to attack, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
There was no time for him to think, so he quickly dodged to the side.
"Whoosh~ Bang!"
I faintly heard a whooshing sound, followed by another gunshot.
A bullet whizzed past his ear.
Sakamoto's second shot also missed.
Wait, how can this thing be so fast?
The attacker experienced the sensation of bullets whizzing past him before realizing something was wrong.
How could the ammunition fired by the Fools' elemental muskets be that fast?
Even the energy muskets made in Fontaine couldn't reach this speed, could they?
And why is the launch speed so fast?
He only managed to dodge the aim based on his instinct for danger; he couldn't dodge the high-speed bullets.
This is different from the muskets used in other places!
Moreover, he could hardly imagine the power of such a fast bullet.
His elemental power could withstand ordinary firearms, but he clearly felt that he couldn't withstand such bullets.
The intelligence is incorrect; we must act swiftly and decisively, or things may change.
Having made up his mind, he observed the distance and, instead of choosing to maneuver along a curved path, began to accelerate again, not even bothering to give orders to his squad.
We need to deal with the immediate threat first, otherwise he'll be gone before we can even give the order.
These thoughts of his occurred within a mere few seconds.
At this moment, facing the attacker who was right in front of him, Sakamoto judged that he had at most one more chance to fire. If he missed or failed to inflict fatal damage, he would not have time to take any further action to resist.
He decisively abandoned the idea of reloading and firing again to gamble on a hit. Instead, he half-squatted into a horse stance, adopted a fighting posture, put down the rifle, gripped it diagonally with both hands, and pointed the bayonet in the direction of the enemy's attack.
Half-squatting horse stance with spear held diagonally!
Matching his green military uniform and red collar tabs.
For some reason, the attacker felt a sense of invincibility towards his opponent, giving him an urge to immediately drop the dagger and kneel down to surrender.
He felt his life was in danger.
Hmm? No, this feeling...
The attacker immediately abandoned the attack, changed his posture, and rolled to the side, finding a large tree to use as cover.
Right where the attacker had just stood, two handfuls of dirt flew up after the bullets entered.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, two gunshots rang out from different directions at a greater distance.
Sakamoto paused for a moment, then decisively resumed his shooting posture and continued to pull the bolt in preparation for firing.
It was a sniper hidden on a high vantage point who noticed the situation and had already made their move.
I can relax a bit now.
Next, I just need to hold on a little longer...
"Bang bang bang!"
Three shots rang out in succession, hitting the tree where the attacker was hiding.
Jiang Ming considered the unique situation in Teyvat where both humans and monsters are generally strong, so the bullets he used were not low-powered or small-caliber.
The standard 7.62x51mm full-power steel core bullet.
When combined with the electric crystal that acts as a primer, the explosive fire elemental force reacts with the residual lightning elemental force after the propellant is activated, making the explosion even more violent.
Its power is far greater than that of a full-powered missile on Earth.
The thing hit the tree, sending wood chips flying, and the bullet went right through it.
However, its power has been greatly weakened and it can no longer penetrate the attacker's elemental shield.
【hateful……】
Feeling the immense force still carried by the bullet after it pierced through the old, thick tree, he was now trapped here and dared not move at all.
He did a quick mental calculation. Based on his observation, the enemy had to pull the bolt after each shot, and with the added action of raising the gun and aiming again, it would take at least a second.
Perhaps... we can seize this opportunity!
Once he takes care of the soldier on guard duty, he can use the building as cover to eliminate the two enemies in the distance.
"Hey, are you guys planning to keep watching? Get moving!"
He hid behind a tree and took advantage of this rare gap to begin mobilizing his squad.
The attacker's words reached the ears of everyone present.
Sakamoto, who was on high alert and staring intently at the tree, immediately turned his gun around.
"Let me try out the knife!"
A burly sea monster, clad in purple armor, emerged from its hiding place, leaped up with its katana raised high, and slashed down at the soldier.
"boom!"
The 7.62mm steel-core bullet penetrated the traditionally fragile armor and entered Helen Ghost's chest cavity.
Immediately, the sea monster lost control of its posture and fell down in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, another sea monster clad in red armor activated the residual evil spirit power on its weapon, attaching fire elemental power to the blade.
"Ding~"
A bullet fired by Sakamoto was blocked by the opponent's katana.
"What???"
Sakamoto, who was usually calm and collected, was dumbfounded.
how come……
No, now is not the time to be shocked.
While Sakamoto was busy reloading the five-round magazine, the red-armored Sea Demon was equally shocked.
That was his katana's action before he could react, but now, the divine power within his weapon has fallen silent after just one strike.
But fate didn't give him a chance to think it over. Two snipers in the distance saw this and shot him dead.
"It's now!"
The attackers behind the tree then burst out of their cover and rushed toward Sakamoto.
It means "fly" literally.
The attacker leaped forward, wielding a dagger, and stabbed Sakamoto almost without touching the ground.
Sakamoto, who was only halfway through reloading, had no time to deal with the attackers.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang ding-"
Eight gunshots rang out in succession, followed by a crisp "ding" and the sound of some metal object falling to the ground.
The attackers did their best.
He changed course and dodged the first two bullets.
But the rate of fire is just too fast.
The third bullet hit him.
The elemental shield weakened the attack, and the bullet did not cause fatal damage.
However, the shield also collapsed.
The next five bullets all struck his torso squarely.
He fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood, feeling his life slipping away.
I recall those eight gunshots in quick succession.
"You promised... one shot, one pull, at least one second..."
In his hazy state of consciousness, he seemed to hear a series of gunshots, "rat-a-tat-tat."
The sounds were even more intense than those aimed at him.
"Times have changed..."
This was his last thought in life.
