Versatile: Alternate World



"Target practice?" Zena frowned.

"He means shooting a gun by aiming and shooting at a dummy or target," Rika explained to Zena.

"Oh, it's about guns. But I don't know how to shoot."

"Don't worry, it's pretty simple. Here, let me demonstrate."

I positioned myself on one of the tied demons squirming as I aimed the Pain Delivery at the squirming demon. I can tell the demon has something to say but because of the gag that was currently hampering his way of talking.

"Just position yourself like this, then aim it on any part of the target, then pull the trigger."

CLICK!

BANG!

The gunshot out a bullet and sent it to the demon who was still squirming to break free. The moment the bullet made contact with the demon, his head exploded which made his blood and brain matter scatter to the other demons who were beside him. They stopped squirming and the moment they realized their comrade had its brain exploded to pieces causing them to squirm in fear and despair as I rack the gun.

"Huh? That's strange, I am quite sure I didn't use an exploding bullet. How did that happen?"

"Wow, that's pretty brutal, Manato. I didn't know you were into violence. I was totally surprised by this thing you just pulled off!" Riko was quite surprised and happy at the same time seeing what I just did. Is this girl a secret psychopath or something?

Anyway, after checking, I am quite sure that the gun is not loaded with explosive rounds as that is something that I didn't make. Perhaps I accidentally made one and it looks like a normal one instead.

But all of my bullets are normal rounds. Not a single one is an explosive round so how come?

Eh, who cares, as long as they kill, it doesn't matter.

I handed it to Riko to try it out. "Riko, you can try. Perhaps you might find some joy in using guns. Perhaps I can find some time to make one for you if you like it.

Riko grabbed it and seemed to have awakened something inside and aimed it at one of the demons. The demon started to squirm, clearly fearing for his life seeing the fate of the previous guy. Of course, his fate was already sealed.

CLICK!

BANG!

Compared to the other guy, the guy that Riko shot didn't have his head explode to pieces, but he still died as the bullet penetrated his skull.

"Let me try as well!" Rika and Zena find the situation a bit entertaining and they start taking turns executing the demons. It's a bit morbid but I am the one who started it. I don't feel much about killing the demons like this. In fact, they deserved it for killing innocent people. I know we are going to be sinners but it doesn't matter, justice needs to be served.

Everything was currently fine until a guard started running towards Ragga, panting for breath as he immediately gave out a report.

"Sir! A huge pack of demonic dogs is currently closing in! We have closed the gates but knowing those dogs, I doubt they can last long!"

"Demonic Dogs? Don't they hunt alone and never travel in packs? What is happening?"

Another soldier appeared and this time, he held more information.

"Sir Ragga! Countless demons are coming in! They are currently riding demonic beasts as well! It seems they are here to rescue their people!"

Ragga's face went serious and then turned to look at one of his soldiers.

"Secure every villager somewhere safe. Have a few groups of soldiers as well to defend them. The rest, we will defend this place. Ready your crossbows and arrows. Once they come to the gates, don't hesitate to kill them on sight!"

Hearing the situation, I turned to look at the girls. They also heard it and nodded and although the execution had yet to be done, everyone stopped what they were doing and decided to also help out. As for the prisoners, I decided to have the Desert Wolves stand guard. Since the enemies are demonic dogs, if ever they breach, the desert wolves will do their job at dealing with them. I left half of them to guard as I doubt the main force is the only demons attacking, I bet they also launched some sneak attack and will try to break the remaining demons free. As for the other half, I brought them along with me to help with the fight.

All of us rushed to the gates and saw that the soldiers were having a hard time blocking the gates. The gates seem to be getting pounded by whoever is outside while the soldiers are doing their best to keep the door from collapsing or even opening. The rest of the soldiers are on the top of the walls firing their crossbows and arrows at the attackers.

"Let's get this party going girls and guys," I nodded at everyone and approached the soldiers at the gates.

"Open the gates."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, we got this," Riko grinned, as she started chanting her spell.

"You guys are gonna help?"

"Of course. Since the enemies are so brazen to attack at night, then it's no longer something we can ignore. We will be fighting against them."

They looked at Ragga who was currently observing the situation and seeing the guards hesitate, he gave an order. "Let them help! We will need all the help we can get here!"

"Alright, but it's gonna get crazy out there."

Riko was almost done with her spell and the guards all nodded as they opened the gates, releasing the demonic dogs that were thumping the gates.

"Water that flows in the world, come to me and drown my enemies underwater! [Flash Flood]!"

Water gushed out as Riko released her spell to the incoming demonic dogs. The demonic dogs didn't expect this and the moment they entered, a torrent of water immediately washed them all away.

"The gates are free! Move!"

We went out of the gates and immediately pulled out our weapons. [Flash Flood] managed to drown a few demonic dogs but not all of them died. And counting from them, they are still increasing in numbers.

"Let's go boys!" I ordered the Desert wolves and every single one of them howled as we rushed head-on to the demons. I changed my Versatile Weapon into a gauntlet form and as one demonic dog came in ready to bite, I delivered a direct hit to the demonic dog a full-force punch, causing its jaws that were trying to bite to crack, perhaps breaking to pieces.

Another two demonic dogs tried to attack as well but I immediately caught both of them and smashed their heads together, killing them instantly. I continue my rampage by punching, grabbing dogs on their necks, and slamming them to the trees and ground.

But even with my quick killings, the number of demonic dogs keeps on increasing. In fact, they started to get bigger and bigger. They are no problems, to be honest, and I like challenges but it's getting kind of odd that there are so many demonic dogs suddenly appearing out of nowhere and demons are currently with them. It's impossible for the demons to be with so many dogs in one attack.

I didn't think too much of it and continued my slaughter. The others are also busy as well, which allows for quick battles against the monsters. After a few minutes of fighting, soon, the number of the demonic dogs decreased significantly but it soon started to get troublesome as the demons that were currently hiding and waiting for the dogs to finish the job decided to join the fray seeing how their pets are being killed left and right.

"Don't let any of them leave alive! Kill anyone who tries to fight back, prioritize the women, and capture them while the men shall be disposed of. Don't forget to plunder and save the brethren of ours trapped here as well!"

It seems the demons seem to be underestimating us huh? I guess it's time to let them show that trying to mess around while I am around will be dealt with immediately.

Changing my Versatile Weapon into my sword form, I welcomed the demons who were ready for the kill. They tried to attack, but their weapons have barely done any damage to me due to the difference in our levels.

"You f*ckers seem to have a death sentence."

Grabbing the demon on his head, I stab my sword into his abdomen and pierce it through him before slicing it sideways, cutting down his flesh and killing him.

The demon who ordered is currently overseeing the attack using a magic tool that allows him to see the situation even when he is far away. It was meant as a way to start the plunder in a forceful manner after they heard that their moles had been discovered. The only way to salvage the situation was to attack and rescue the demons who were captured. He thought that the attack was going to be successful due to the fact that he brought a lot of the demonic dogs and the most skillful demons in the group. If they succeed, not only will they get more loot, but they will also get women as well.  It's a big win.

However, he soon felt a bit different. In fact, he can feel that the demonic dogs have slowly disappeared one by one. Even the auras of his comrades started to disappear as well.  The assault was clearly working at first but he soon frowned seeing a few of his demon comrades start to die one by one and soon realized why.

"F*ck! FALL BACK! We are going to die here!"

But before he can do so, a kick landed on his head, causing him to fall over. He felt a bit of pain in his head and tried to get up but the one who gave him the kick stomped his head into his temple. His hard boots are causing him more headache.

"Where are you guys going? The party is not yet over."
