Ten Thousand Versus One (2)

One shot of the fire-element bullet was enough to clear more of the fog than the ten thousand tamers combined. However, I could feel my shoulder hurting already, even though I only shot once.

Before I could even raise my voice to ask, Ember had already made another clone and covered me with it. The slime suit fitted tightly over my body, supporting my limbs.

"Thanks!"

While saying that, I cocked the lever once more and pulled the trigger. One shot after another was sent out without pause. After emptying the full 10-round magazine, the immediate surroundings of the barrier finally cleared up.

I removed the now-empty clip and grabbed another one, slamming it in and loading it. Then, I raised the aim, pointing toward the Succubus Lord, a good few kilometers away.

*Bang!*

The rifle released a loud, deafening sound, unlike the previous rounds. The slime suit got blasted to pieces, unable to handle the recoil of the shot.
