Buzz—the powerful impact caused the surface of the magic greatsword to vibrate slightly.
Lyle gripped the hilt and looked at the shallow white mark on the blade, his eyelids lifting. So far, the Gray Dwarf side had not shown any means capable of threatening him, but even so, Lyle remained cautious.
Thus, he had kept the Martial Skill "Minds Eye" active the entire time!
Unexpectedly!
Just a moment ago, the perception from "Minds Eye" made him instinctively perform a defensive maneuver.
Swish!
Lyle quickly looked up toward the direction the attack had come from, while simultaneously sweeping his gaze over his status panel with a thought.
No information displayed?
This only meant one possibility: the opponent was not within his field of vision!
"A long-range projectile attack." Lyle's eyes showed surprise and wonder, followed by a bright spark of interest.
Up until now!
Something that finally piqued his interest had appeared.
He was absolutely certain that the attack just now was a "gun" type attack. After all, such a unique method of attack was far too obvious in the eyes of a transmigrator like Lyle.
"The Gray Dwarf race actually possesses items from 'YGGDRASIL'." Lyle raised the magic greatsword in his hand and swung it again,
slaying seven or eight Gray Dwarves who had closed in, while his gaze continuously scanned the surroundings.
In the New World, long-range physical attack methods basically consist only of bows and arrows or throwing items.
Whereas "gun-type" ranged weapons are items that only existed in the game "YGGDRASIL".
This wasn't because they were rare, but because that category of weapon items and class systems was added in the Late Stage of the game.
In the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick, as far as Lyle knew, the only one who used gun-type weapons was CZ, a member of the Pleiades,
whose weapon was the silver "Magic Gun: Assault Rifle".
And in the New World, there seemed to be only one person who used such a weapon.
That would be the captain of the Adamantite-Rank adventurer team "Red Drop," who possessed a suit of Powered Suit.
The weapon of that Powered Suit was a "Magic Gun: Heavy Machine Gun," which could easily wipe out multiple Death Knights.
As for the New World itself, it lacked such weapons and classes.
The most important reason was that the physical formulas for gunpowder were invalid, making it impossible for firearms to be created.
This was why Lyle could immediately determine that the gun-type weapon used by the Gray Dwarf came from the game.
At this moment!
Behind a large tree several hundred meters away from Lyle's position on the battlefield, a Gray Dwarf named Asto hid, panting slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"To be able to block an attack under those circumstances... is this the strength of the Hero Realm?"
Asto muttered to himself, cautiously raising the long gun in his hand again. He poked his head out from behind the tree and aimed at Lyle's direction once more:
"Precision Aiming!"
With the help of a transparent lens on the gun stock, Asto locked onto Lyle again, realizing that a sneak attack had no effect on that human.
"Damn it, in that case—"
"False Shot!"
Asto pressed his finger down. Accompanied by a dull thud, a bullet shot toward Lyle's direction again.
The moment he finished the attack!
Asto didn't even look at the result. Instead, he moved his short legs and changed his position once more.
He didn't know why he had to do this, but it was what the former Gray Dwarf hero did when using this weapon.
Whoosh!
The incoming bullet was once again perceived by Lyle's "Minds Eye." He slashed with one hand toward the bullet's path.
The bullet collided with the edge of the magic greatsword, producing a spark.
"Moved positions again?"
Lyle looked toward the direction the bullet had been fired from again and found that the status panel still showed no prompts, his expression turning thoroughly intrigued.
"The interval between the first and second attack exceeds seven seconds. Is it a Magic Gun that cannot fire continuously in a short time?"
Lyle stepped off the ground with his left foot, his figure moving to the right. He cut down another batch of Gray Dwarves while several thoughts flashed through his mind:
"And this distance should be over 300 meters away. Could it be a sniper-type firearm?"
"The overall attack power should be at a level above Lv 20. There's a high probability it's related to the user's base physical attack value."
Behind his gray helmet,
Lyle revealed a slight smile. Although the positions of the two attacks were different, the distance between them wasn't too far. As long as the opponent attacked one more time, he would be able to pinpoint that Gray Dwarf Gunner's location.
Several hundred meters away.
Asto raised the firearm in his hands again. Seeing a large number of his companions dying under Lyle's sword, the resentment in his eyes grew even deeper.
"So the attack just now was blocked? Then let's see how you block this next one!"
Asto let out a low growl and pressed the trigger again.
"Bang!"
A bullet shot out from the barrel. Compared to the previous two bullets, this one actually made a sound as if it were tearing through the air.
With a bullet fired using "False Shot," if it is blocked or dodged by the opponent, the speed and power of the next bullet will double.
Here it comes again!
The moment the bullet entered the perception range of "Minds Eye."
Lyle swung the magic greatsword in his hand again as before, but this time his expression changed, and he quickly tilted his head to the side.
Whoosh!
