Volume 2 Chapter 2 (1/2)

The Ancient Elf was just born.

We—comprised of Kuina the Celestial Fox, Elder Dwarf, Ancient Elf, and myself—were currently conducting an experiment at an open grass-covered field somewhere in Marcho’s dungeon.

The objective of which was to find a suitable weapon for Ancient Elf.

Tenko preferred close range combat so she chose the shotgun while Elder Dwarf chose the assault rifle, prioritizing providing support fire from any distance.

Elder Dwarf still hasn’t settled on any particular fighting style yet so she has to try out different kinds of weapons.

Although slightly wary of their new little sister, Kuina and Elder Dwarf managed, for the moment, to properly to talk to her.

“Kuina’s recommendation is, of course, the shotgun. The feeling of diving in range of your enemy and one-shot killing them with a boom really is something.”

Despite being slightly scared, Kuina was still able to properly play her part as the elder sister.

As expected of my [Monster of the Covenant].

“Thanks Kuina-chan but I feel like it won’t suit me. Firstly since my defense worries me. Additionally, my attacks won’t miss my targets even from far away anyway.”

It was exactly as she said. She had the strongest eye skill, the Jade Eyes, coupled with another skill, the Shooter of Magical Projectiles.

She didn’t need to deliberately put herself in danger.

“Then, I’ll recommend the assault rifle. Its clip size is great, it’s highly accurate even from far away, and it’s easy to use. It has enough firepower too, if using the 7.62mm bullets. Above all else, the feeling of stability it gives is outstanding.”

Next was Elder Dwarf’s recommendation of the assault rifle.

Just like she said, its sense of stability was outstanding. When going for safety, it was the way to go.

“I agree that it certainly is a great weapon but it’s still a little lacking. I’d like something like this but with a bit more punch. Isn’t there a weapon that you can use from far away but still as powerful as the shotgun?”

A weapon that had shotgun-class firepower even from far away… there was only thing that came to mind.

But it wasn’t like that was something one usually carried around.

Oh well, it was a good opportunity to try it out.

“Ancient Elf, I’ll be taking out a new weapon out now. Try it out. [Creation].”

I created the weapon using my own ability.

Each Demon Lord had their own Unique Skill and mine was [Creation] which was:

Thanks to it, I was able to materialize all sorts of things.

I might have lost my memory but the ones about weapons remained.

“As you can see, it’s a fairly big weapon but, well, just try it out for the meantime.”

The weapon I created was an anti-materiel rifle.

It was a really large rifle intended for super-long-distanced shooting as well as for penetrating deeply into one’s target.

It was longer, bigger, and heavier than ordinary rifles. Its recoil was more intense too.

And distinguishing itself even from among those of its kind was the Pallet ML82A1.

Pallet ML82A1

Overall length: 1450 mm

Weight: 14.0 Kg

Magazine capacity: 11 rounds

Caliber: 12.7 mm x 99

Muzzle velocity: 853 m/s

Effective range: 2,000 meters

The caliber it used was the same as the ones used for the Mithril Golems’ heavy machine guns: the .50 caliber.

It weighed, however, at one third the weight of those heavy machine guns; just barely light enough to be carried. It was a beast with nearly twice as much weight and length as that of Elder Dwarf’s favorite MK417.

It was unable to shoot fully automatically but due to its semi-automatic feature, it could still somehow do a rapid-fire shooting.

“It’s fantastic! So sturdy and impressive. May I use it?”

“Do you know how to?”

“I more or less know how to use weapons that attack from range.”

It was most probably an effect of her Shooter of Magical Projectiles skill.

There was none more capable to her when it came to long-ranged weapons.
