OLD-WORLD EXTRA-Chapter 71 Luck II

The muzzle flash illuminated the darkness, extending the range of his information gathering device.

Now knowing that stealth was no longer an option, Emir switched on his flashlight, which was attached to his minigun, casting its beam into the shadows ahead.

The outlines of the monsters appeared clearly on his heads-up display.

'Oh, thank god,' he thought as he identified the monsters rushing at him.

They looked to be C-ranked canine and feline monsters, with similar risk assessments despite their varying sizes.

So it shouldn't be much trouble for him... Or so he thought.

As he continued to fire, the air began to fill with the deafening sound of gunfire, the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the sight of shredded flesh and fur as the bullets tore through the monsters.

Emir aimed for their vital spots, taking out their heads and chests, causing them to collapse to the ground one by one. The sheer power of the minigun made quick work of the monsters, as they fell to the ground in a lifeless heap.

The weapon continued to unleash a torrent of bullets without showing any signs of overheating. All thanks to its advanced cooling system, something to expect from an A-rank weapon.

And as a relentless onslaught of monsters charged towards him, his finger remained firmly pressed against the trigger. With unwavering precision, he aimed the weapon and unleashed a torrent of bullets, mowing down the horde that dared to approach.

Their gnarled teeth and razor-sharp claws were no match for the sheer firepower of his new equipment, with the rounds continuing to tear through their flesh and sending them flying backwards.

So despite their numbers, Emir stood his ground, their bodies piling up around him.

With each burst, a monster fell, until finally, the last one lay dead on the ground.

Cutting through the tension, Lyra asked:

[Is that it?]

Letting out a sigh, he bellowed, [I NOW KNOW THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE! FUCK YOU!]

And sure enough, another horde came in soon after.

His minigun fully revved up, released a torrent of bullets. As monsters crowded the entire walkway now forcing him to move back in hopes of getting into a more advantageous position.

Continuously firing his weapon, he began to take slow steps backward while relying on his information gathering device to identify his surroundings without having to visually inspect them.

While he backed away, the monsters never stopped swarming towards him, their growls and snarls filling the air.

'Although this might cause me trouble later on, I need to clear out the monsters' paths towards me and limit them, so destroying this place looks to be my best shot.'

Spotting a large support beam above the monsters, he quickly aimed his minigun at it, unleashing a hail of bullets.

The beam cracked under the strain and groaned as it slowly gave way.

Crash!

In a matter of seconds, it came crashing down onto the horde of monsters, crushing them under its weight.

Emir let out a sigh of relief, but his moment of rest was short-lived as he heard the sound of more monsters approaching from the other end of the walkway.

He quickly reloaded his minigun and prepared for another onslaught.

The weapon boasted an extended magazine that compressed bullets to the size of individual hair strands, allowing a single drum magazine to hold up to 500 rounds.

And as the monsters approached once again, he began firing, this time aiming for the support pillars that held up the entirety of the walkway.

One by one, the pillars began to give way, causing the entire structure to collapse in on itself.

Creak! Crash!

The monsters let out one final howl before being buried under the rubble.

But without allowing him a second of respite, even more monsters came in, crawling from underneath the wreckage, causing him to back up even further.

Looking around in an entertainment center attraction, he found a narrow passageway that would force the monsters to approach him in a single file.

'This will do!'

Emir backtracked to that spot, preparing for their inevitable arrival.

It was a bottleneck that he could use to his advantage. And as the monsters came into view, he pulled the trigger once more and let out a hail of bullets.

The muzzle flash combined with his flashlight illuminated the narrow space, casting an eerie glow on the monsters' twisted faces.

Their eyes glinted with malice as they charged towards him, their claws outstretched and their teeth bared.

Emir took down the first few monsters in the line, causing a chain reaction that resulted in the rest of the pack falling to the ground.

The next set of monsters continued to charge towards him, unfazed.

Matching them he remained calm and focused despite their unending numbers, mowing them down with precision.

Ratatatatatatatatatatatat!

The sound of gunfire reverberated through the narrow passageway, each shot ringing out like a thunderclap.

Emir felt the recoil of the minigun in his arms, but it was minimal, all thanks to his new augmented suit.

The monsters continued to fall, one by one, as his bullets tore through their flesh and bones.

Their howls of pain filled the air, mixing with the deafening sound of gunfire.

And as he kept firing, the narrow passageway started to fill up with the bodies of the fallen monsters.

Their grotesque forms piled up around him, forming a barricade that the remaining monsters had to navigate to reach him.

But he was ready for them.

He never stopped firing, picking them off as soon as they tried to climb over the pile of their fallen comrades.

Their numbers were no match for his advanced weaponry, and he continued to pick them off one by one as they approached.

Eventually, the last monster fell to the ground, and after a long moment of silence, he let out a deep breath, feeling the tension in his muscles start to dissipate.

Emir, however, overlooked one important detail.

He was nearby a passageway that collapsed entirely, while he was standing on rusted ground, that couldn't withstand the weight of so many monsters.

And so, the ground suddenly started to crumble beneath him.

'SHIT!' He inwardly screamed as he attempted to push himself off the ground.

But with no stable foothold, there was nothing much he could do except plummet down.

He soon was engulfed by a blanket of impenetrable darkness. Knowing that even with his TDS ability and enhanced strength, nothing could help him in this bleak situation.
