Refreshing!
The spewing tongues of fire and dense barrage almost instantly tore the distant monster horde to shreds.
Severed limbs and flesh mixed together as they fell to the ground, turning into a rather not-safe-for-work scene in the blink of an eye.
Standing in the center of the pitch-black cavern.
El directly began to spin while shouting loudly to Lunoire.
"Get down!"
Actually, words weren't needed.
The girl's instinct for danger had already made her quickly drop to the ground, dodging the machine gun bullets spewing out like rain.
Thus, the monsters charging from the other side of the cavern were also instantly turned into large pools of bloody water.
Including those from both sides of the stone walls.
The newly spawned monsters were the same; their bodies were riddled with holes like ragged cloth the moment they took form.
Three thousand six hundred rounds in a single breath, that's what you call true equality for all living beings!
What a pity.
Even though El had specifically reinforced the design of the ammunition box to significantly increase its capacity.
At the Gatling gun's speed of thousands of rounds per minute, in less than three minutes, the machine gun in his hands was completely silenced.
Happy times are always short.
Sigh, it would be great to have infinite ammo, but unfortunately, such technology is completely unscientific.
El had no choice but to put down the Gatling gun in his hands.
Subsequently, he continued to receive another heavy weapon deployed by the mechanical assistant.
"Eh?"
Lunoire, who had been lying on the ground holding her head, only heard the continuous "dadada" sound stop.
She thought to herself, is it over?
So fast, not enduring at all.
But even so, that was a truly terrifying weapon.
What in the world was that thing, to be able to instantly shoot out so many metal projectiles...
While Lunoire was lost in thought.
The girl heard the noisy sounds of monsters coming from the distance again.
Those Goblins, Kobolds, and Dungeon Lizards clinging to the cavern walls completely ignored the corpses of their companions and continued to charge forward in a swarm.
How strange.
Although monsters lacked intelligence, if the gap in strength between the two sides was too large, they would also run away.
Especially these timid monsters from the upper floors.
But today they were so reckless. Could it be because of that little thing next to him?
Lunoire finally realized.
Just how fatal an "attraction" this little guy called the "RX-60 Trap Runner" had for monsters.
Oh no!
Could it be that to Goblins and Kobolds, this tiny steel box that kept twisting and turning was considered a "great beauty" or even a "succubus"?!
Her thoughts completely went off track.
Then, Lunoire saw El throw away the thick, long black iron block at his feet, and instead pick up a still thick and large black object connected to an even thicker and larger red iron tank...
A crimson fire snake suddenly spewed out, turning everything before him into a sea of fire.
Lunoire's eyes widened, thinking to herself, is this some kind of magic device?! It can release fire magic?!
Suddenly.
A burnt smell assailed her nostrils.
Mixed with the stench of flesh and blood, even a veteran adventurer like Lunoire felt a bit uncomfortable.
This is way too foul-smelling...
However, El remained completely unfazed, calmly holding that fire-breathing "magic device" and continuing to spin, turning all the incoming monsters into ashes.
Mhm... This time it really turned them into ashes.
The flesh and blood baked to charcoal by the high temperature would easily let the magic stones mixed within fall out.
The moment they left the body, the monsters would also turn to ash and dissipate into dust.
The ground that was just covered in severed limbs and rivers of blood was quickly reduced to layers of tiny magic crystal stones under the intense heat.
"An unexpected discovery!"
El was a bit excited.
Because with so many dead monsters, having to pick the magic stones out one by one from that "mud" mixed with blood, plasma, bones, and flesh would be...
Simply too troublesome.
He didn't expect that just baking them with fire would solve the problem, that's really great!
...
After the monsters turned to ash, that burnt, foul-smelling odor did not dissipate along with them.
Bad review, it turns out the Dungeon's recycling mechanism also has loopholes!
Paying attention to air circulation is also important, okay!!
Although El didn't mind.
"Are you alright, Miss Lunoire?"
"No... Ugh... Cough cough... Ugh..."
Covering her mouth.
Lunoire couldn't understand how El could wear such a relaxed "I'm used to it, it's fine" expression on his face.
What exactly are you used to?!!
Fortunately, the fuel was consumed much faster than the machine gun bullets.
This time, it probably didn't even last a minute.
El had his fun.
Once again dropping the [M-3 Flamethrower] in his hand, El didn't plan to stop here. He stretched his hands and then charged straight towards another batch of newly arriving monsters.
"Huh?!"
Lunoire, who was squatting on the ground struggling to suppress the urge to vomit, completely couldn't keep up with El's thought process.
What... is this guy trying to do?
But it was obvious, right now, it was time for close combat!
Using a machine gun and a flamethrower to defeat monsters would most likely increase his [Strength] and [Endurance] attributes—let me ask you, are those two not heavy weapons?!
Then besides that.
There are [Agility] and [Dexterity].
At some point, two hand crossbows appeared in El's hands.
The silver-gleaming crossbow bolts accurately pierced the Goblins' heads, directly blowing them apart.
Shooting while dodging attacks, every Empyrean Gunner had mastered the most basic "Gun Fu" techniques. Even if he hadn't used them for a long time after becoming a Mechanic, making him quite rusty now.
But if the opponents were just some Goblins and Kobolds, it was no problem.
Windmill!
"Rock 'n Roll!!"
Supporting himself on the ground with both hands, he spun his two long legs like a windmill, kicking away all the monsters around him.
After getting up, he followed with a Mach Kick, his knee turning into a blur as he instantly elbowed... no, kneed the Goblin in front of him away!
Finally, when there was only one monster left.
He had to finish it off with a Punisher.
"You're punished."
Stepping on the Kobold's slightly bulging stomach with one foot, he then pulled the trigger of his crossbow, directly blowing its head off.
Phew...
Warm-up complete.
Now El felt even more authentic.
It really had been a long time since he fought like this. El turned around, looked at the monsters still swarming from the other side of the cavern, tilted his head slightly, and then charged in again...
...
This kind of non-stop continuous battle lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until El confirmed that his stamina was almost depleted that he snapped his fingers, retrieved the RX-60 Trap Runner that had been continuously attracting nearby monsters, and threw it back into the dimensional workshop.
"Let's take a break."
El just sat directly on the ground.
And took out the bento Demeter had given him today.
At this time... it was probably afternoon, so it should be afternoon dessert.
"Would Miss Lunoire like a piece? Lady Demeter made it."
Looking at the apple pie the boy offered, Lunoire couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
She thought to herself.
How can you eat with that smiling expression in a place filled with monster corpses and covered in foul blood!!
