The Last Alchemist

In the narrow underground passage, the darkness is as thick as a solid. The flashlight can only illuminate a dozen meters at most, and it cannot be seen clearly further away. The orc standing more than 20 meters away is surrounded by It seemed like it was covered with a hazy fog.

Faced with Rosen's threat, Iron Orc Richard's expression was uncertain. After his previous experience, he really didn't dare to gamble with his own body on the power of the opponent's weapon.

Seeing that he was silent, Rosen asked with a smile: "Are you scared, orc?"

"No." Richard shook his head: "I just don't understand. It's just a gun and some ray magic. How can you have the courage to threaten me?!"

The moment he finished speaking, Richard moved.

The muscles in his body suddenly tightened, and the huge force erupted like a volcano. His feet slammed hard, and the ground sank suddenly under his feet. Even though he was more than 20 meters away, Rosen was still a little unsteady. , the sight of the musket in his hand began to shake uncontrollably.

At the same time, Richard moved toward the dark place next to him, avoiding the flashlight's beam. Relying on the cover of darkness, his body was like a cheetah, rushing wildly in the darkness as fast as a gust of wind.

Faced with such an attack, Rosen's reaction speed could keep up, but his body could not. He could vaguely see the opponent's position, but his body still had not fully regained balance. Under the influence of the imbalance, his flashlight did not turn fast enough, and the sight of the musket was never able to lock on the opponent's body.

The distance between the two sides was only about twenty meters. With Richard's speed, even with the start-up time, he could cross it in one second. With his strength, he could flatten Rosen's body with just one punch.

'Oops! I underestimated this orc! ’

If he had known this, he should have used invincible magic as soon as he discovered the orcs to make himself invincible, but now, the opponent quickly

The speed was so fast that he had no time to use invincibility.

"Danger! Danger!" This was the only thought left in Rosen's mind. Adrenaline surged and stimulated his heart, which started to go crazy.

His heart was beating, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

He must buy himself more time now.

A moment later, Rosen extinguished the flashlight and plunged his body into darkness. At the same time, he extended his alchemical magic power to the limit of 4 meters away, using magic power to detect the location of his opponent.

But this is not enough.

Because most monsters have dim vision, turning off the flashlight is not very effective. Rosen's real purpose is not to cover himself with darkness.

At this moment, the alchemical magic power had discovered Richard's body, and in just a moment, the other party had already rushed 4 meters away. Rosen could feel that the orc raised his arms and made fists with both hands, aiming for Rosen's head.

If his head was hit by him, with Rosen's undead physique, he wouldn't be hit to death, but he would definitely be knocked unconscious, and then everything would be over.

At this critical moment, Rosen quickly squatted down to avoid the vital points of his head. At the same time, his hand stretched out from his waist, holding the last flash grenade!

The flash bomb had been released and was about to explode. Rosen quickly threw the flash bomb in front of him.

‘Chi~’

A strong flash of light appeared in the underground space. The underground space that had just been dark was instantly flooded by a sea of ​​snow-white light.

Rosen was already prepared for this. He had closed his eyes long ago and observed the surrounding situation with only his alchemical magic power.

Just a few tenths of a second after the flash of light erupted, he felt a shrill wind whistle about 20 centimeters above his head. There was no doubt that this was Richard's fist, and Richard's body was not far from him. .

At this time, if Rosen doesn't take other measures, Richard will soon be able to determine Rosen's position again, and with a shot on him, Rosen's combat effectiveness can be easily defeated.

In terms of speed and strength, Richard can crush Rosen. Unless Rosen has a brain attack, he will never choose to confront this orc in close combat. The only thing he can do now is to use the cover of strong light to try his best. Put some distance between you and the orcs.

Of course, in the current situation, it is useless to simply retreat, and he cannot retreat. He must fight back!

Rosen squatted on the ground, relied on the guidance of alchemical magic, quickly raised the meat grinder gun, pointed it at Richard's body beside him, and pulled the trigger.

At the same time, Richard also roughly determined Rosen's position. He raised his foot and kicked Rosen under the ribs.

If this kick was real, Rosen would not die. His undead physique would allow him to survive, but he would definitely be kicked and maimed, lose all combat effectiveness, and then be slaughtered by others.

"Bang~"

The moment Richard's toes touched Rosen's clothes, the gun rang out.

The familiar sound of gunfire, the familiar smell of gunpowder, but what was shot out of the barrel was a brand new armor-piercing warhead made of tungsten steel.

Where does the material tungsten steel come from?

Rosen used electronic empowerment to infiltrate the tungsten wire from the spare incandescent lamp beads of the flashlight into the steel slug. The whole process was very laborious, but he succeeded in the end.

After the gunshot, Richard's body was shaken, and at least 90% of the strength in his legs was lost. He kicked Rosen's ribs moderately.

Just like that, Rosen was kicked to the ground and flew up. He was also knocked out of breath and couldn't breathe.

But that’s all!

Rosen had no time to care about his body. He was in mid-air, twisted his body forcefully, and fired continuously at Richard who was very close at hand.

"Bang bang bang bang bang~"

He fired all six tungsten steel bullets in the magazine in one breath. When the last bullet was fired, he landed on the ground more than 4 meters away.

Every time a gunshot sounded, Richard's body shook. After six gunshots, Richard's body shook six times involuntarily, looking like he was standing on the ground and dancing.

After the gunshot, Richard stood on the ground blankly, and did not go forward to chase Rosen.

Taking this opportunity, Rosen used magic power to construct a magic structure and activated the invincible magic.

When the silver light of the invincible magic lit up, Rosen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's safe."

He struggled to get up from the ground, stepped back a few steps, turned on the flashlight again, and checked his rib injury first.

There was a footprint on the right rib, and a large piece of skin was bruised, but the ribs were not deformed. He took a deep breath. The muscles under the ribs hurt when he breathed, but there was nothing wrong with the lungs.

'Hu~'

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief. These were just some skin injuries.

He turned the flashlight to the iron orc Richard.

Richard was still standing there, but unlike before, he had six more deep bullet holes on his body, four on his legs and two on his stomach. Blood was pouring out of the bullet holes like a spring, and Richard looked down at the bullet holes, as if in a daze.

Feeling the light, Richard turned his head slightly to look at Rosen, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your gun is really powerful!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Rosen was lucky to have escaped. God knows, if he had made even a mistake in his action just now, and delayed for a few tenths of a second, he would definitely be very miserable now.

Richard looked at the meat grinder musket in Rosen's hand and asked again: "It's a pity that you didn't kill me."

As he spoke, Richard suddenly gritted his teeth and groaned. Then, his muscles began to wriggle again. After a few seconds, he heard a "click" and a bullet head fell out of the blood hole in his stomach.

‘Pah~Pah~Pah~’

The bullets were squeezed out of the blood hole on the thigh. When the bullets were squeezed out, the muscles next to the wound automatically clamped and the bleeding stopped.

It took about ten seconds for six bullets to leave Richard's body. He raised his legs, reached out to touch the wound on his stomach, and then looked at Rosen with gritted teeth: "You succeeded in seriously injuring me, but even the remaining strength is enough to kill you."

Rosen maintained the invincible magic. He opened the package, took out the bullets from it and put them into the musket magazine. While putting them in, he said: "Richard, where do you get the confidence to say such things?"

Richard's face changed. He watched Rosen's movements carefully. After watching for a few seconds, he suddenly laughed again: "Boy, you are good at acting, but unfortunately, I have lived for nearly a hundred years and have seen too many plays. I can tell the truth from the false at a glance. For example, now, your newly loaded bullets will definitely not be able to penetrate my body."

Rosen paused and stopped moving.

Richard was right. He only had six tungsten steel bullets. Now, he only loaded ordinary bullets into the magazine, which posed no threat to Richard.

"You looked very carefully."

After failing to deceive, Rosen could only put away the meat grinder gun.

Richard sneered: "Now, you are hiding in the magic shield, and I can't move you. But how long can you maintain the shield, five minutes? Ten minutes? I'll wait here, I want to see how long you can last!"

Rosen took a few steps back, stood against the wall, and then raised his right hand. The lens of the box above his right hand was facing Richard, and a smile appeared on his face: "Orc, you are right. However, I still want to ask you again, what do you think this box in my hand is?"

"What is it?" Richard asked. He had noticed this strange thing early on.

"Magic ray launcher, hehe." Rosen said with a smile.

Richard's expression froze.

Rosen's smile deepened: "Orc, let me ask you, do you think that the ray magic I carefully prepared can kill you in one shot?"

Richard's mind was shocked.

The other party's newly prepared bullet could hit his body and seriously injure him, so the ray that the other party carefully prepared must be extremely powerful, and he must not be able to resist it.

What's more terrifying is that ray magic is known for its fast attack speed, which is extremely difficult to dodge, and you can't escape it no matter how fast it is.

Richard's heart was pounding, and he was filled with deep fear. He had no momentum at all. He forced a smile and said, "Young man, if you have something to say, please talk about it nicely. Don't be impulsive."

"You'd better stand there passively, don't make any extra movements, and don't think about using something to block it, otherwise I will attack you at the first time."

Richard was embarrassed and had to stop squatting to grab the corpse on the ground. His body froze awkwardly in place: "Mr. Great Magician, that this"

He was speechless for a while, his eyes were fixed on the box in Rosen's hand, and cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

He had lived for more than a hundred years and had never seen such a strange thing. The unknown was the most terrifying. It was precisely because of the complete unknown that he did not dare to gamble.

Rosen released the invincible magic, and the lens in his hand was always locked on Richard's head.

Richard stared at Rosen without blinking, observing his every move, not even the slightest. As long as the other party made a move, he would do his best to dodge.

He thought very clearly that ray magic was incredibly fast, but the user of ray magic needed reaction time, and this time was his chance!

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

After about half a minute, Rosen suddenly said, "I don't want to kill in vain. Now, I'll count to 3. If you can disappear in front of me after 3, I'll let you go."

"Really?" Richard swallowed his saliva, not believing it at all.

Lilith was also very surprised when she heard it, and couldn't help asking, "Alchemist, are you really going to let him go?"

Rosen nodded seriously, "I said, I don't want to kill in vain."

Richard believed it a little, and he said happily, "Your Excellency the Great Magician, you are the most merciful person in the world. I am very grateful for your forgiveness, and I will leave now."

Although he said this, he felt that this young man was really the biggest idiot in the world. At this juncture, instead of killing everyone, he actually came up with a "noble" reason of not wanting to kill in vain. It was really hypocritical, etc. He suddenly felt something was wrong: 'Could it be that this ray emitter is just for show? Is this guy lying to me again? ’

After this idea came up, he thought it was more and more possible. For a moment, he really wanted to rush forward and tear the young man to pieces, but in the end, he still didn't dare to take the risk.

‘Forget it, forget it, I'll leave here first, and then find a place to hide and attack. ’

Only a sneak attack is the safest.

With this thought, Richard turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Rosen's mind condensed, and he activated the laser without hesitation.

‘Swish~’

A dark blue laser as thick as a pencil lead flashed in the air and hit Richard's head accurately, shooting in from the back of the head and out from the forehead, lasting for 2 seconds, burning a hole as thick as a middle finger, and then the laser disappeared.

At the same time, at least 10 of the battery packs tied to Rosen's arms exploded on the spot, and the others that did not explode also heated up violently and expanded in size.

In just this way, all the batteries were scrapped.

As a result, Richard fell to the ground with a thud, and his life force completely disappeared.

Rosen took the hot battery pack off his arm and threw it on the ground, then put the laser box away again, walked forward, looked at Richard's body, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I lied."

He never thought of letting him go, but he was afraid of the other party's speed and was afraid of losing, so he lied like this.
