Moro is quite a hassle in his zombified form and I have no idea how strong Moro is while he was alive. However, there is nothing impossible if you try hard enough. The horde seems to have not noticed us as they are still not even bothered to look at us and just charge up ahead.
"Heh, bastards, you won't even know what hit you after this. [Mortar Cannon Blast]!"
BOOM!
A deafening explosion released from my cannon and a hot and fiery cannonball escaped from it, exploding in the sky. However, upon exploding, it didn't go to waste, and instead, it got divided into smaller pellets turning into something similar to grapeshots.
The grapeshot attack was enough to reduce the frontline and every small monster among them. My attack was enough for them to stop in their tracks. However, that is not enough for me to stop the attacks.
"Rip them down to pieces Atlas!"
"Understood Master!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAtlas waves his sword and roared inducing fear in the creatures that were about to attack. The bigger monsters roared back and rush towards Atlas to attack him only to meet his blade and get sliced to pieces. It was quite chaotic on Atlas's side as he quickly kills enemies without batting an eye at them. He decimated everything in his path and was laughing like a maniac. The messages on his kills flooded on my interface that I have to hide it to avoid cluttering too much.
On the other hand, Moro didn't expect Atlas to appear and decimate every single demon and monster he brought along in one single sweep.
"Bastard! You are interfering with my attacks! Get out of our way or die!"
He was about to chase Atlas when I shot a cannon shell right into his butt causing him to roar in pain as soon as it got shoved into his arse. The cannonball seems to have hurt his butt too much since his attention switches from Atlas back to me.
"WHO THE F*CK JUST SHOVED UP A ROCK INTO MY BUTT?!"
I couldn't help but laugh at his remark. As expected, he also has some degree of intelligence in his brain.
"RIGHT HERE, BIG GUY! Do you like my present? It will guarantee to clean up the excess dirt on your butthole that you would be very grateful to me after doing so! It is a one-time offer and I might as well throw in a special offer of lifetime cleaning using that for only 999 billion gold! It was a very good offer with 1 gold discount from its original price of 1 trillion gold!"
"YOU BASTARD, THAT IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY AND THE F*CK, THIS IS NOT A GOOD SERVICE! I WOULD RATHER USE GRASS AS MY WIPES THAN USE THOSE OFFERS OF YOURS!"
"You think? Then have some of this too as an addition! Cannon Massage!"
Considering that my Versatile Weapon is not a real cannon and is just acting like one, doing rapid-fire attacks using the cannon form is nothing. You will see a cannon that fires mortar shells with a rate of fire similar to a normal pistol. Although it isn't as rapid compared to a machine gun's rate of fire, considering the reload times and the normal rate of fire a cannon and mortar have, this is already fast enough and anyone who would see this would scream in terror. Imagine a cannon that can sink a ship do a rapid-fire, what would you do?
"GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Moro has to cover himself and distance himself away from me due to the intense attacks of my cannon. I don't just say what I want, I also have to do it.
"Take more of this!"
I reload the cannon and this time, I load up exploding cannonballs similar to the cannonball earlier that wiped out the frontline of monster horde but I didn't use the same exploding cannonball. This one will explode upon contact to a target.
As Moro continuously block the cannonballs from his direction, one particular cannonball suddenly hit his face and before he can react, it exploded and a small part of his flesh was torn after.
"GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
His HP went red immediately that is why I stopped. I didn't realize it at first but he is about to enter the berserk state. I made it too much. I also think my level is a little bit too high for me to be able to reduce his HP without even noticing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I will not forgive you for ruining my face!"
He stomps the ground and his body erupts into flames, his face that has been torn off with the cannon has been also stripped off and was replaced by his skull covered in flames. I also then noticed that his health bar that has been reduced to critical levels has recovered and it also grow multiple times. Now it is multiple bars of HP.
"Looks like I messed it up huh," I grinned.
Not because of fear but because of the excitement. Unlike the battle against the leprechaun without the faintest idea on how to kill it was different. Since the enemy this time is just harder to defeat but not invincible, I am itching for some real challenge.
"Hehe, if it was a battle you want, its a battle you will get!" I slammed down the cannon to the ground before changing it to a magic sword. Using the weapon I am really familiar with, there is no reason for me to not be able to go one on one with him."
His flaming club started to get bigger and spikes grew on its surface. After that, he started swinging the club to my direction. I quickly dodge but I didn't evade the club completely but used it as a timing to properly get a hold on it. The moment my feet landed to the club, I activated the [Frozen Sword] skill and stab his burning hand. Smoke started rising from the sword as it's frozen blade starts to melt. Many might find it foolish since Ice is weak against the fire and I used it against him.
"That is useless! You won't be able to kill me like that!"
"We will see if that is what will happen!"
As steam rises, I casually wave my hand as I activate the Alchemist special ability for crafting items and potions.
"[Condensation]!" before aiming that skill to the vaporized ice from my sword.
When it landed, water appeared and quickly extinguished his flames in the arms.
"Now, would you rather burn or would you rather turn to charcoal early?"
