Ancient Magic Wood Flintlock
Spending the morning with Rose Foxes to clear dungeons, Noah pushed to do a few more.
Coming back to the city later than normal everyone sat together and talked. Noah didn't leave today and stayed with them.
"Did you finish what you were doing the last few days? Is that why you were so happy all day?" Alice asked.
"I did, I got lucky I'll surprise you tomorrow," Noah said mysteriously.
...
At night Alice fell asleep and Noah got up, it had been exactly 168 hours or seven complete days. His gun had to be finished.
He teleported out into the direction of the hut from the Teleportation Hall then got off his Levitation staff near the house. Pushing open the door with a sack in hand Noah triumphantly walked to the desk behind which the elf sat.
About to Slam the sack onto the table in excitement, Noah stopped himself remembering how delicate and glass like the eyes were. He gently placed it, "I got the eyes."
The old Elf took out the two spheres and scrutinised them. He then put them away nodding, "Well done, looks like the extra effort I put in hasn't gone to waste, sit down I'll get the gun."
Noah sat down waiting for it. As the hour-long minute passed, the old elf walked out with a wooden box. He placed the box in front of Noah.
"Open it." The Elf said.
Noah held his breath as he opened it.

Noah looked at the gun laid in the box in front of him. Rather than a weapon, it was a piece of art. Its structure was similar to the flintlock pistols he had seen in museums. Its main body was brown enriched wood, the top part was a silver metal. It had engravings of green near the trigger. The flintlock system was worked by a green crystal. The entire gun was covered in intricate veins of flowing green energy.
The energy the gun gave off was strong, a lot stronger than the True Wood Staff. Noah held the gun and felt his arm energise. The Flintlock pistol fit perfectly into his hand like it was part of it.
The Elf nodded seeing Noah's amazed expression, "This gun was a challenge, I fought the system, editing the design to a C Class item. Then merged, enhanced and refined the materials you gave me. I was close to forming a C Class item but the limitation the system put didn't let these old bones perfect the magic circle I was engraving on it."
"This gun is halfway to a C Class item, when I saw I was failing, I made sure to enhance all its abilities and attributes. This is much stronger than the design you gave me, each of the abilities has broken the limit and entered a new level doing much more damage. I have to say this is one of the best weapons in D Class." The Elf continued explaining.
"What does the '+' sign mean?" Noah asked. He had seen it on the Black Wind and asked the system but it didn't tell him. It apparently didn't mean the same thing it did with skills and talents.
"Weapons are mainly ranked into letter Classes which you know. But weapons aren't as simple to divide with such clear boundaries. You'll learn more about it in the Eternal Battlefield, just know that D+ means a Demi C Class weapon. Boy since you're still how about some tea with me?"
Noah nodded. He was given a crystal cup. He saw that it was an item.
[TriFlower Tea]
Permenantly increases three random attributes by 5.
The effect was amazing, Noah knew it would be rude to ask but still did, "Can I bring a cup with me?"
"No, if you want that young lady with you to drink it, tell her to come and complete a quest for me." Elf answered knowing Noah's thought process.
Noah sighed and enjoyed the tea with the Elf. They made small talk and was eventually thrown out.
"You can leave now. I see you have a bright future so, I wish you luck. Goodbye." The Elf then gestured for him to leave.
"Thank you for everything." Noah then got up and left. He had gotten an increase in his Strength, Physique and Willpower attributes.
With the Ancient Magic Wood Flintlock equipped. his attributes soared, he looked at his status page.

Seeing his attributes increase, Noah was tempted to switch out the Black Estoc for the True Wood Staff. However, he didn't he needed the points in his physical attributes, Outside he got on the levitation staff and looked around.
His sense attribute had greatly increased giving him a wider range to shoot. He held the flintlock pistol and aimed at a pack of E Class monsters. Pulling the trigger he shot five times.
Rapid laser-like bullets went through the heads of the E Class monsters killing them instantly. The level of bullets was 8 but was effectively 9 because of his enhancer, Strengthen Mana Bullet.
Noah then holstered the gun under his left armpit. This came with the gun and allowed quick draw of it in an emergency. He would have to look into a way of hiding it as it was too eye-catching.
...
Along the way, Noah entered the Tree of Evil dungeon since he was passing by. He wanted to check the effects of the gun and the dungeon happened to be in his way.
In the Dungeon Lord's Lair, Noah shot out with bullets each one breaking the bark and causing high damage. He then changed bullets as he easily dodged leaf blades to Seed Bullets.
With Flash Step, in almost an instance he sent five shots from around the tree and embedded the seeds all around.
Standing away on the Levitation Staff he activated Bloom. A small magic circle formed at the muzzle of the gun. The magic circle was a bright green intricately designed with the side view of a flower in the middle. Noah pulled the trigger.
From where the seeds were embedded into the Tree of Evil, white lily-like flowers budded out and twirled open to their signature shape. They then burst out with white light followed by a room-shaking BOOM!
[You have slain the Dungeon Lord!]
The Tree of Evil had been killed. Noah picked up the loot and picked up a skill he was interested in.

Learning the skill Noah walked out, he looked at a Flower of Anger and his eyes flashed black. Its physique was lowered by 5. Noah then shot it down with the Ancient Magic Wood Flintlock.
