Last Era

Chapter-4(Part 2) Selection Tests II

His neck jerked instantly to the side with his face completely colored in fear. But...

I lowered my stance a little, pulled in my arm twisting my body and shot my palm up at his chin the very moment he moved his head.

His posture crumbled. His knees gave out and his body started falling powerlessly like a doll with its strings cut.

The other guy noticed and turned towards me in horror.

I face him with my side turned to him. My gun peeked out from under my arm, he reacted quickly and raised the shield covering him and the bullet shot from my gun.

The recoil was high and the gun greatly knocked back making my fingers tremble from a single shot but I didn't need to care too much about aim at this distance.

".........!!!!!"

Static erupted as a light blue bullet fired from the muzzle. It didn't make a classical bang noise but a sound more similar to a high pitched screeched was heard.

The bullet blasted on contact with the shielded and the power behind the shot was much greater than I expected.

The force pushed the guy holding the shield back. His body stepped behind a few steps staggering as he tried not to lose his balance. I didn't miss the chance and pulled the trigger again.

*click* *click*

I pulled the trigger but the gun didn't shoot. For a second I was blank but quickly recovered.

I abandoned the gun and from a crouching stance I kicked against the ground dashing towards the opponent.

And in the next instance I was before him and moved my left forward with the motion of a jab.

He reacted and raised his shield horizontally...but I expected this.

A punch didn't hit him, but he felt pain.

A low kick from me was swung aiming at his knee, kicking at the side of his leg.

His knees bent making his legs lose energy. Before he could react to the next action I moved-

My right arm was shot in front,...but wasn't meant for a punch. I caught the shield by the edge and pulled it in as I twisted my body along with it.

With the momentum from twisting my joints my left hook came smashing down at his temple.

His head turned greatly and I felt the full force of the reaction from my punch.

He was showing the white of his eyes, knocked out cold.

Both of them were down. I carefully looked alternating my eyes between the two and then finally sighed in relief as I raised my body.

I picked my gun and also the opponents'. When I did I noticed the light strips on the handle of one of the guns get dimmer.

I raised my brow thinking what it was, but turned my attention to another matter.

In the middle of the fight my gun didn't fire, so I picked it in my hand to examine it.

I shoot it and the bullet fired as it did before with a strong knockback. But I kept pulling the trigger again and again.

*click* *click* *click*

After a few seconds it fired again.

Hmm.....as it thought
The gun doesn't support rapid-fire despite looking like a semi-auto.... and the gap between shots is a full three seconds.
