Chapter 226: The 9,000-Pound Revolver

Death Knell? Every shot rings the death knell for the enemy? I like this name… Klein controlled his expression, showing no expectation or excitement as he moved closer and reached out to accept the iron-black revolver with the slightly longer barrel.

He had originally been very worried that if he showed how badly he wanted it, the seller might raise the price on the spot, which was common in transactions. But after thinking it over, Gehrman Sparrow’s reputation was already widespread, and Anderson, the Strongest Hunter of the Misty Sea, was there as witness. Although Olkfa Connacris might once have been a Sequence 5 powerhouse, he had already withdrawn from the adventurer circle and only wanted a peaceful life. He certainly would not dare offend Klein, for fear that the crazy adventurer might act calm in person, only to sneak into the manor at night afterward.

Therefore, his effort to maintain a flat attitude became purely a matter of preserving his persona.

Seeing Gehrman Sparrow seriously examine and study Death Knell, Olkfa gave a detailed introduction.

“Its abilities are actually quite singular: harvesting the lives of others. There are three methods in total.

“First is Weakness Attack. It requires no activation condition. Simply pour in spirituality and pull the trigger. From a mysticism perspective, it allows you to discover the target’s weakness—that is, the place where their defense is weakest—and provides corresponding precision, causing terrifying damage beyond the norm.

“Second is Fatal Attack. To use it, you must cock the hammer before firing. Its feature is that no matter where you hit the target, it is equivalent to striking a weakness. And if you truly hit an actual weakness, then against enemies whose defenses are not too strong, one shot can kill. Against targets skilled in defense, three shots can resolve them. That includes Guardians. Of course, the premise is that the interval between the three hits cannot be too long, preferably no more than five seconds.

“Third is Slaughter. On the foundation of Weakness Attack, if you additionally provide more than twice the normal amount of spirituality, it can make ordinary bullets produce a shotgun-like effect, attacking a large number of enemies in the direction the muzzle is aimed. It is an area-of-effect killing method. If you wish to enhance the damage, then on the foundation of Fatal Attack, you must additionally provide more than triple the normal amount of spirituality. That is no small burden on the user.

“It can also be paired with bullets of different characteristics to target different kinds of enemies.”

Sounds like it corresponds to Sequence 5 Reaper of the Hunter pathway… Klein glanced at Anderson beside him and thoughtfully asked, “If the target is a dragon whose physical strength has reached Sequence 4, how many Fatal Attacks would it take to kill it?”

Olkfa froze for one second, then shook his head somewhat blankly.

“I have never encountered a dragon.”

Much less a dragon whose body reached demigod level!

Is Gehrman Sparrow planning to use this gun to slay a dragon? And a demigod-level dragon at that? Isn’t that a little too insane? Olkfa suddenly felt that the adventurers of today were completely different from those active in his own time. They simply did not consider whether they might die!

Anderson coughed twice and cleared his throat.

“That depends on luck. Really. Believe me, luck is extremely important!

“If you encounter a dragon already beaten to the verge of death by someone else, then one shot will do. If not, my suggestion is to run immediately. Mm, staying alive matters more.

“Of course, if a demigod-level dragon doesn’t defend itself and just stands there for you to shoot, about five Fatal Attacks should be enough to kill it.”

Olkfa looked at Anderson, then at Gehrman Sparrow, and decided not to continue the topic. He changed the subject.

“Anderson should have told you about Death…
