– Patter
The bullet blew the whole guy’s head off in an instant.

Jeong Eun-seo only looked at the fallen monster with empty eyes.
“This… how did this happen?… Super… The gunman wouldn’t have the power to catch Cruel Wolf…?”
Not befitting her calm and polite personality, she spat out rude words, but I didn’t really care. It’s because I know it’s not a story with malice. Jeong Eun-seo is a kind person even if she is cold. It was something you could tell just by looking at how he tried to help me when I passed out earlier. So, if you use it well, she is a woman with the ability to become a reliable ally.
I calmly spoke to her, who was bewildered as if embarrassed.
“It seems that the monsters were weaker than I thought. Seeing him killed by a gunman.”
“…”
Jeong Eun-seo stared blankly at Cruel Wolf’s corpse for a while. I fully understood why she was so surprised.
‘I can’t help but be surprised. Because the one I’m holding right now is my basic weapon.’
[shabby pistol]
▶ It is a shabby pistol with no special features.
▶ A total of 15 bullets are loaded.
As I said before, the ‘magic’ stat does not open for the gunsmith job. That’s why you can only get magical power from weapons. In other words, depending on the performance of the weapon, the power will be very different.
All monsters protect themselves with magic, and humans use mana to protect themselves, so it’s very difficult for regular bullets to inflict damage on monsters or humans. That’s why a gunsmith needs ‘excellent weapons’ to deal proper damage. You have to use a weapon with even a little bit of magic attached to it, so you can use mana to enhance the power of your gun.
But what I was using was a ‘basic weapon’. A shabby pistol with magical power and nothing attached to it. It was difficult to defeat normal monsters with it, but even on the first floor, Cruel Wolf, who had very high durability, was killed with a single bullet, which was surprising.
‘I didn’t know it would be this strong.’
Of course, the grade of my job is [Legendary]. I thought it would have excellent power, but I expected that the correction wouldn’t be as great as a gunman, one of the most despised jobs. But my expectations were just as wrong.
▶Additional damage is given to attacks using firearms.
‘How much is the additional damage?’
The fact that he waited until Cruel Wolf opened his mouth and fired while avoiding the hard leather of his body would also have been critical. From a human point of view, it is a vital point that has completely shattered the stomach. But even taking that into consideration, it was absurd that Cruel Wolf exploded with one shot. It was a bullet that didn’t even contain mana.
Jeong Eun-seo looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“You… what the hell is your identity?”
No wonder. There’s no gunsmith anywhere in the world who can kill Cruell Wolf with a standard pistol. If you’re confused here, it looks really weird. That’s why I answered her calmly.
“It’s just that the job grade is a little higher. Anyway, why do you keep following me? Have you lost your compass?”
“…”
She could not answer anything, but her mouth was twitching.
“I can’t help you if you don’t explain the situation properly. Also, you don’t know that it’s rude to secretly follow someone you don’t know in the labyrinth, right? If you don’t speak clearly, you will inevitably misunderstand.”
Only then did Jung Eun-seo explain her situation little by little.
“I was originally going to go down to the 2nd basement floor, but suddenly a monster came out and I lost my compass and lost my way. I didn’t know where to go, so I wandered around and ended up here…”
Hyunseung Lee nodded as if he understood and talked to her.
“I know the geography of this place, so I can help. First of all, it seems impossible to go to the second basement floor at this time, so I will guide you to go outside first.”
“I…really?”
Jeong Eun-seo, who instantly turned bright, looked straight at Lee Hyun-seung and answered.
“I don’t know who he is, but he’s a nice guy… I’ll make sure to give you an example when he leaves.”
Hyunseung Lee thought to himself.
‘also.’
Jeong Eun-seo has a personality that can’t live without debt. He’s basically cold, but if he’s given something, he’s the type to give it back even if no one else asks for it. That’s why I thought I should do her a favor even if it bothered me.
‘Jeong Eun-seo’s parents have a lot of money, so if I need something related to funds later, I’ll have to ask for it.’
I don’t know how much they’ll compensate, but for now, it must be good news.
“Now…then let’s go…”
-Startle
I tried to talk to Jeong Eun-seo, but I blocked my mouth at the strange flow of mana I felt around me.
“What h…”
“Shhh.”
When I put my hand to my mouth and responded as if to be quiet, she closed her mouth and looked in the direction I was looking at.
There, two men were walking around, wrapped in strange clothes.
“Ah f*ck… the captain is really… I don’t know why he asked me to do something like this.”
“Hold on, they say there’s a reason for everything. Artemis, those bastards must have done one or two. The captain has decided that he can’t stand it any longer.”
“Seriously, if you can’t stand it, why don’t you just hit it head-on? Like a jjompeng, what is this doing behind the scenes? I don’t understand why you stalked me with your cell phone the other day and took pictures, but now you want me to bury her stolen clothes in the ground? It sucks, really.”
“The captain told me to just make you nervous. Wouldn’t it be okay if you messed around from the beginning for no reason? Originally, when hunting, you should tighten your neck from a distance.”
“Haa… I know that, but pretending to be stalking secretly, stealing clothes, etc., is strangling something.”
“It’s scary. Just like a real stalker, stay on your toes wherever you go. If you threaten them like this, you won’t know if it’s from another guild or if there’s a really crazy perverted stalker. And before that… Lee Hyeon-seung? Since he put his phone in his locker, he’s probably being pointed out as the culprit? Then it will be difficult to track us down, so we can avoid the risk while giving the fear away.”
“Thousands? After all, the captain is smart.”
“You’re stupid, you idiot.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me an idiot?”
“Yeah, sorry. Let’s bury it quickly before the captain makes a fuss, and if anyone sees it, we’ll be in real trouble.”
“I’m very worried, someone is coming here. In the corner of the dungeon, in an empty field where there is nothing…”
-Clap-!
At that moment, the sound of a gun being loaded echoed through the air.
The men hurriedly looked around and shouted.
“Who… who is it!”
“Come out! I already know where everything is!”
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
Lee Hyeon-seung walked towards them with cold eyes and talked.
“Explain what you guys just talked about.”
The men who threw off the clothes they were carrying on their backs stepped back and asked questions in a state of alert.
“Who… who are you?”
At Lee Hyeon-seung’s too confident attitude, thinking that he might be a member of a high-ranking guild, the man looked at Lee Hyeon-seung here and there, wary. Before long, the man’s eyes reached the shabby pistol Lee Hyunseung was holding. As soon as he saw the pistol, the man burst into laughter and was relieved.
“f*ck~ I was surprised. I thought the other guilds were following me because they wanted to set the f*cking mood. do you want to die? it’s crazy?”
Lee Hyun-seung did not respond to him.
“Haa… It’s a heart, f*ck you, you really think you’re backwards. Well, since they said they heard everything they said, they would kill me even if I tried to save them.”
-Sueug
He warned Lee Hyun-seung, aiming his pistol at one of the men.
“This is your last chance. Explain what you guys just talked about. before I kill you.”
“reel? Did this bastard really run around?”
Among the two men, a man with an ax and a ragged body came forward.
“hey. little boy Are you kidding me? Are you going to pick up a gun like that and rub it on us?”
The man smacked the jewelry he was wearing and boasted.
“A gunman has no mana, right? You even have a basic pistol? what with it kill us? Fuhahahaha, where are you really sick? Or did your parents not teach you right? You’re going to play house with your mother and father, so why are you f*cking with us!”
The man approached Lee Hyeon-seung as if he was not afraid at all, spinning his ax in circles.
-Kidduck
Lee Hyeon-seung spoke as he bit his teeth.
“Apologize. If you get on your knees and apologize and tell me exactly what you said, I will spare you, not kill you.”
The man with the ax responded to Lee Hyeon-seung with a sarcastic attitude.
“I’ll apologize at the grave after I kill your baby.
Hyunseung Lee looked blankly at the man holding the sword behind the man with the axe and muttered.
“Since there is one more… I can kill this bastard…”
Upon hearing the story, the man shouted madly and rushed at Lee Hyun-seung.
“You spoiled brat! die-!”
-Sueug
Hyunseung Lee aimed his pistol at the man holding the axe.
“Cheap, you asshole! I have a rare job, do you think it’s going to get hit and scratched? You bastard gunman who can’t even use mana!”
-Kirik
Before long, Hyunseung Lee quietly pulled the trigger at the man running up to him.
-Taaang-!
– The [Legendary] Gunsmith job attribute effect gives additional damage to firearms.
A cold gunshot rang out in the hall.
