Against the Gigant Demon, which is many times larger than a normal monster, Ataru's attacks don't do too much damage with each shot.

 

"It's all about the number of moves you have."

 

When Ataru saw this, he shot his bullets one after another without regard for the situation. It was all aimed at the same spot. The sound of rifle firing echoed around them, and the other three were completely mesmerized by the sight of him using a weapon they had never seen before.

 

"Oh, hey, that."

 

When he looked up, everyone was staring at where he was pointing, puzzled.

 

"Gu-O-O-O-O-Oh!"

 

Beyond that, the Gigant Demon was also struggling and screaming in pain. It was not caused by Franphilia's attacks, but by Ataru's attacks, no matter how you looked at it.

 

He had been attacked repeatedly on its shins, in the same area, and it was screaming in pain as it crumpled to the ground.

 

"Oh, my Gawd!"

 

Basta calls out excitedly as Ataru continues to attack nonchalantly while looking at the suffering Gigant Demon.

 

"You guys better be ready to go!"

 

But Ataru stopped his attack without replying and immediately started to run after saying that.

 

As the Gigant Demon's attention shifted from Franphilia to Ataru as it struggled in pain, Ataru moved from place to place in order to avoid being discovered by it.

 

"If you don't want to get involved, get back to the city now!"

 

Ataru continues to run while calling out to the adventurers who are sitting in the distance, exhausted. The adventurers, who had been dumbfounded by Ataru's call, hurriedly returned to the city to avoid being dragged into the battle.

 

"I think we're good here."

 

Ataru positioned his gun again at a greater distance from where he was before.

 

From the feeling of the previous attack, the stronger normal bullets were not enough to deal with the Gigant Demon, so he loaded up another bullet. Using a variety of bullets was one of Ataru's strengths.

 

"This is the next one!"

 

The new loaded bullet flew into the Gigant Demon's left shin, right on target again.

 

As soon as the bullet landed with piercing sharpness, it immediately released flames and violently burned the wound it had just sustained.

 

"Gaaaaaah!"

 

It seemed to have worked, and the Gigant Demon was sounding more pained than earlier.

 

"...... It's not finished just yet."

 

He mutters to himself, and then loads another bullet and fires it at the same spot again.

 

When the next bullet hit the injury, it released lightning with a blinding light. It was the same bullet that had been used on the Death Wolf. The piercing pain and numbness hit the Gigant Demon.

 

"Gluaaaaaah!"

 

However, as it struggled in pain, its eyes twisted in agony, and this time its roars were filled with anger at its attacker rather than pain. The Gigant Demon, frustrated by the one-sidedness of the attack, scanned its surroundings.

 

When Ataru saw what was happening, he started to move again to avoid being pinpointed as the source of the attacks.

 

Meanwhile, Franphilia continued to attack with her bow. She also kept firing her arrows sharply as if she was aiming for a vital spot.

 

"Ataru-san, that man is out of this world. I can't lose this match either!"

 

Motivated, Franphilia put strong magic power into her bow and attacked the place where Ataru had caused damage. The arrows she had used earlier had only annoyed the Gigant Demon, but this time her attack was sure to damage it.

 

"Guaaaaaaaaaah!"

 

Finally, the Gigant Demon noticed the source of the attack, Franphilia. It glared at her and ran towards her with a loud thud.

 

"Well, here you are!"

 

Franphilia, realizing that she had been targeted, hurriedly tried to flee the scene, but the gigantic Gigant Demon's every step was so large that it quickly closed the gap.

 

Just as she was panicking, she heard a single gunshot.

 

"I won't let you!"

 

The Lord was finishing his move and interfered with the Gigant Demon's actions with Ataru. (G: その主は移動を終えていたアタルでギガントデーモンの行動を妨害する。)

 

What Ataru had just released was a explosive bullet. This was a bullet that exploded like a bomb the moment it struck the target, inflicting widespread damage around the point of impact.

 

Moreover, Ataru aimed at the left shin, as he had done before. This time, he lifted his right leg and deliberately timed it to coincide with the axis of his left leg.

 

"Gah, gah, gah, GAH!"

 

The attack was more impactful than the previous ones, and the Gigant Demon finally collapsed on the spot.

 

At the moment when the huge body sank to the ground, Ataru looked at Franphilia, and Franphilia knew exactly what he meant by that look.

 

"Freeze the planet! arctic purgatory!"

 

She immediately went into chanting and unleashed her greatest magic towards the Gigant Demon with great power.

 

The power of the blow is weaker than the first one because her magic has not completely returned. Nevertheless, it is a high-level magic, and it succeeds in quickly freezing the legs of the Gigant Demon as it tries to stand up. In the blink of an eye, its feet were frozen and stuck to the ground.

 

"Now!"

 

Hearing Ataru's words to be ready, Basta and the three others had already approached the Gigant Demon and were preparing to attack. Taking his words as a signal, they launched themselves at it.

 

However, both of the Gigant Demon's fists swing down at them. The other party, though unable to move their legs, desperately resists using their arms that are still moving.

 

"Shit!"

 

Immediately, Basta tried to catch it with his own sword, but the next moment, the Gigant Demon's fist was stopped by another attack. He was surprised that no attack came, but the continuous sound of gunfire reminded him of the reliable presence behind him.

 

"I'm not gonna let you."

 

It was an ice bullet released by Ataru, who smirked fearlessly. This was also a special bullet, but Ataru, who had earned a lot of BP(Bullet Points) in the battle so far, used it and exchanged it generously. Ten bullets were shot into the Gigant Demon's arms, both arms together, instantly turning it into ice.

 

"I can do this."

 

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Basta thrusts his sword at the Gigant Demon's open left chest. His physical strength and the power of his sword caused it to pierce its chest.

 

"Me too!"

 

Basta's hand left the hilt of the sword, and the spearman stabbed it further in as if to boost the sword's hilt.

 

"Strike through, O thunder!"

 

The mage then unleashes a lightning magic at the maximum power of the sword. It passes through the blade, and the magic heads straight for the demon core of the Gigant Demon.

 

"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

 

The Gigant Demon recoiled from the pain that stabbed into its chest, the most horrific and unbearable pain it had ever felt due to the combined attack of the three of them.

 

"We did it!!!"

 

Ataru clicks his tongue at Basta's words, caught off guard by the sense of fulfillment.

 

"That's a flag!"

 

As Ataru's irritated words, the Gigant Demon slowly lifted its slumped body, forcing its iced hands and feet to stand up and gather the demonic magic between its hands as if to turn the anger swirling inside into power.

 

"Oh, no no no, no!"

 

The mage was immediately terrified by the power of the demonic magic. The other two were indeed frightened by the demonic magic, instinctively terrified by the alarm bells ringing in their heads and were unable to even move their bodies.

 

Demonic magic is cursed if received directly by a normal human, making it difficult to heal using normal recovery methods. It is said that only the magic of a high-ranking priest can cure the curse.

 

But Franphilia, who was closest to the Gigant Demon, was now sitting limp from the magic she had just used.

 

Ataru was the only one who could fight in this situation. But he had no fear or dread in the face of the demonic magic.

 

"Well, you were a much more formidable opponent than I anticipated."

 

The fact that his rather uplifting tone was already in the past tense was due to his confidence in his next attack.

 

"Ha!"

 

The bullet that Ataru fired from his beloved gun was a lightning bullet. The strength of the impact at the moment it was fired was clearly an order of magnitude different from anything he had ever fired before. The difference was the rank of the bullet.

 

The magic bullets so far were of the lowest rank that Ataru could exchange. Even so, it contained a medium level of magic, as evidenced by the fact that it defeated a Death Wolf.

 

However, this bullet was one of the most expensive that could be exchanged, and the magic contained in it was of the same rank as the ice magic that Franphilia had used with all her might.

 

The bullet discharged with a boom and went straight for Basta's sword, which was stuck in the left side of its chest.

 

As he aimed to hit the hilt of the sword, it was not only magical but also powerful as a bullet. He was able to force the sword to reach the demon core as he pushed it in, and the moment he reached the desired spot, the high rank lightning magic was released immediately exploded.

 

Lightning flashed through the entire body of the Gigant Demon. After a few convulsive jerks and twitches as it was enveloped by a huge bolt of lightning, the charred Gigant Demon sank into the ground and collapsed, never to move again.

 

"Well, this time it's over."

 

Ataru's muttering, as he slung his beloved gun over his shoulder, signaled the end of the battle to destroy the monsters.
