"Ah, what the heck, I told you to take out the sniper, can’t you see the enemy has already charged over? Hurry up, faster."

Listening to Le Cheng’s impatient tone, Nikun felt something was off, but despite his impatience, there was not the slightest sign of unease or tension on Le Cheng’s face, as if he wasn’t even concerning about the current crisis at all. It’s hard to say if it’s trust or something else, but it inexplicably gave him a sense of relief.

So, he subconsciously materialized the Barrett.

"Nice Big Sniper, how many bullets does it have?"

"Just shoot, you’ve got an unlimited supply of ammunition."

"Really? That means I can fire at will."

Le Cheng gently caressed the barrel of the gun, judging by both the gloss of the gun body and the feel of the touch, it was a brand new Big Sniper. He habitually pulled out the magazine and then inserted it back in—a standard ten-round magazine with MK211 armor-piercing incendiary bullets, which also had a decent explosive effect.

Normally, an average person would need to lie prone and brace the gun against their shoulder to use a Big Sniper—partly due to the weight of the gun itself and partly to aid in aiming, as well as to counteract the recoil from shooting. However, Le Cheng didn’t do that; he simply braced the Barrett on his left arm, then looked through the scope.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve played with a Big Sniper, not sure if I still have the same level of accuracy as before."

With that posture of yours, you’ve never even played with a Big Sniper, have you?

"Wait..."

Just as Nikun instinctively wanted to stop Le Cheng upon seeing that shooting stance, which would make every military enthusiast score negative points, a ’bang’ sound came before he could finish. As a shell flew past in front of his eyes, far away in his line of sight, the head of a Bloodletting Demon exploded.

A headshot with a single hit!

Such accuracy!

Nikun was astonished. He was an old military enthusiast with quite a bit of experience using various firearms, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to utilize this ability. After becoming a player, he had even undergone specialized training. But even he couldn’t achieve such precision.

Under a second of aiming, and he’d scored a headshot?

But it wasn’t over yet.

Before the first shell could hit the ground, the barrel of the Barrett had already moved to another target. Almost the moment it stopped, another shot rang out.

Bang!

The 12.7 caliber bullet precisely hit the head of another Bloodletting Demon, piercing its skull before the explosive blast blew open its entire top, leaving it with half a head as it fell straight down.

And then...

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang...

As the gunshots continued to sound, one Bloodletting Demon after another fell down, and the interval between each shot did not exceed two seconds—it was very regular. In just over a minute, thirty-four Bloodletting Demons were all killed, all with headshots!

When the gunfire ceased, everyone was astounded.

As the saying goes, amateurs watch the show, professionals watch the technique. Caster and Guinevere, as well as the eight accompanying knights were clearly amateurs; they couldn’t comprehend the value of those thirty-four shots. But to kill thirty-four Bloodletting Demons in a minute, that alone was enough to move them. Even the current Gawain couldn’t achieve that.

However, for the players, it wasn’t just shocking, it was like a science fiction movie!

Old players, even if they hadn’t come into contact with any military-related knowledge before, would definitely not be unfamiliar with firearms after reaching the Third-tier. For most players, firearms were the easiest to acquire, most convenient to use, and most reliable source of survival security in the early stages. So, for survival, they would definitely try to understand as much as they could about firearms.

Barrett sniping wasn’t like using a pistol, and theoretically, while it could fire continuously, what about the recoil? The aim? Were all these things just ignored?

Yes, in those thirty-four shots just now, the old players couldn’t feel any impact of recoil on Le Cheng, and he didn’t even seem to need to aim. It was as if he was cheating, shooting wherever he pointed, shattering the physical settings outright.

Not even a sci-fi movie could do it justice!

It would be one thing if Le Cheng was an old player, but the key thing was, he was a newbie!

"That, Brother Gai... don’t you really have some kind of headshot locking ability?"

Finally, Nikun couldn’t help but ask, seriously suspecting if Le Cheng had exchanged for some sort of headshot locking ability, where he could guarantee a headshot and eliminate recoil with every shot, otherwise it just didn’t make sense.

"Rubbish, I, Gai Baonan, am not cheating!"

Le Cheng glanced at him with contempt. Nikun wanted to ask more, but he heard Alien Eye’s voice from the side, "Better look over there at Gao and Edward, folks, they seem to be struggling to hold on."

Only then did everyone remember that the biggest trouble was still unresolved.

Not far away, Gawain and Edward were facing nine enemies as two, and were clearly at a disadvantage.

Under the assault of three Blood Grinding Cavalry, in just a short while, Edward was already covered in wounds, and even with the recovery capabilities of a Werewolf under the full moon, his self-healing speed had slowed down considerably. Gawain was in a slightly better situation, although he also faced numerous dangers, but he alone was holding off six Blood Grinding Cavalry.

This is where the advantage of story characters over players lies.

Although the complete form of Edward can indeed confront Gawain in his normal state in terms of sheer strength, most of the time, he is relying on pure instinct to fight, while Gawain has been training in martial skills since childhood and has been fighting against the Catastrophe Legion for at least twenty years. His mastery of strength and battle experience is hardly something an ordinary player can match.

Hence, when the strength of the two is nearly equal, Edward can only withstand three Blood Grinding Cavalry, but Gawain can handle twice that number.

Seeing this situation, Jingxiang does not hesitate and immediately casts several Healing Skills on the two of them.

Other players, though eager to help, are unable to intervene in a battle of this level.

Le Cheng picks up Barrett, raises his hand, and fires a shot.

Shoot the horse before the rider, yet when the bullet hits the hard armor of the Blood Grinding Beast, it simply can’t penetrate the defense.

So he aims his sights at Bull’s eyes, only to hear a ’ding’ sound as the Bloodletting Demon, riding on the back of the Blood Grinding Beast, deflects the bullet with a sword swing, and its powerful explosive force merely makes its sword tremble lightly.

"Tch tch!"

The furious Bloodletting Demon rolls its tongue in its mouth, and with a shake of its shoulders, lets out a sneer.

"Damn it..."

Le Cheng cannot stand being provoked like this.

"Forget it, forget it, Brother Gai," Nikun and Alien Eye quickly hold Le Cheng back, consoling him, "Let’s think of another solution."

"Another solution, can you build an Italian Cannon then? I’ll just blow the motherfucker up!"

"That’s a bit difficult for me..."

"Then make a sun lamp."

"Sun lamp?" Everyone is taken aback by this suggestion.

"Don’t you guys know? Gawain is the Sun Knight. Gawain at night is the weakest. In the daylight at noon, when bathed in the sun’s rays, he can directly triple his combat power. The weakest version of Gawain can deal with six heads, and at three times his strength, he’ll string that bunch of idiots up and beat them senseless!"

The eight accompanying knights also nod in agreement, "Indeed, our leader does become stronger under the sun."

Yaya expresses his doubts: "I’ve also heard of this legend, but that has to be the actual sun, right? Would a sun lamp work?"

Le Cheng strokes his chin, analyzing seriously, "Let’s use scientific principles to carefully analyze, what is the essence of the sun? It is nothing more than light and heat. However, if it is heat, then Gawain should not have been called the Sun Knight, but rather the Volcano Knight. So, the essence of Gawain’s strength enhancement is actually ultraviolet rays!"

"Ah?"

At these words, everyone’s expressions promptly turn confused.

"Think about it, what is the essence of ultraviolet rays? It’s a type of light. Appropriate ultraviolet rays can be used to sterilize and heal diseases, but as the intensity of ultraviolet rays increases, they can cause various ailments and even endanger life. Roughly rounding up, how is this any different from nuclear energy? If a person could harness nuclear energy, how powerful would they be?"

"Clearly, Gawain’s physique is very special. Not only can he absorb ultraviolet rays, but he can also utilize them, turning them into a weapon to deliver lethal blows to his enemies. So, this is the true nature of the Sun Knight. Therefore, using a sun lamp to replace the sun, I reckon it can work!"

So myths can be interpreted like this?

Everyone listens skeptically, but upon reflection, it seems there could be some truth to it.

Thus, with a ’dead horse as a living horse doctor’ mentality, Nikun decides to go ahead with it. After all, making some lamps that emit ultraviolet light is not hard for him, and even with his dwindling spiritual power, he can still light up the whole of Hinamizawa.

Meanwhile, Gawain is feeling like he’s nearing his limit.

He did consider dragging out this battle against the Blood Grinding Cavalry until sunrise when his power could at least double, but these Blood Grinding Cavalry are much stronger than any he’s faced before. Even just dealing with six is already taxing him, and he cannot possibly last until morning.

If he were to be defeated, who else would be able to stand against them?

Even with Le Cheng, he didn’t think the other could slay these nine Blood Grinding Cavalry.

Perhaps it was time to execute the final plan.

Gawain grits his teeth internally; if he doesn’t mind expending his life, he should be able to hold off the nine Blood Grinding Cavalry for a short while. During this time, he can let Le Cheng and the others take Caster and flee the village. As for the other villagers, he already has no solutions; whether they can survive depends on their own luck...

However, just as Gawain resolves to do this.

"Leader, the sun has arrived!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rises from behind him, and he catches a glimpse of his eight accompanying knights holding something and excitedly running towards him.

Then comes a series of clicking sounds, and a bright light shines from behind, halting the movements of the nine Blood Grinding Cavalry.

Gawain instinctively turns his head.

His first thought is: So bright, so blinding!

Damn, I’m going to be blinded!
