Chapter 1980 Battle is also a battle of wits
Some say that the advent of firearms has made killing easy; all it takes is pulling the trigger, and even a child can kill an adult, or even a monster.

But killing never determines good or evil; firearms are pure power, and how they are used is up to the user.

Therefore, strangers use firearms to move around.

That's right. On average, a stranger fires a hundred shots, at least sixty of which are used to move by taking advantage of the recoil, not to deal damage at all.

The emergence of firearms drove Had and his crew, who were furiously studying these ingenious mechanical weapons, to the brink of madness. No matter how they looked at it, the recoil and noise of the firearms were flaws that needed to be improved. But the strangers preferred firearms that were louder and had greater recoil.

The recoil is strong, which facilitates movement in the air and even on the ground, while the loud noise can be used to choke the enemy with the smell of gunpowder and to divert attention with a huge sound.

Greenland used a standard-issue Thunder Cannon, which blasted itself away with a single shot. Then, the terrifying aspect of the Age of Gods technology appeared: a fully charged, high-level weapon blasted the Camelot Dragon Lizard's back into a bloody mess.

The Camelot roared in pain, but did not change its judgment. Greenland could not directly harm it; it could only use items or borrow strength.

It immediately turned around and rushed towards Greenland's landing spot. Unable to change direction in mid-air, Greenland discarded its standard Thunder Cannon and took out a new gun from the warehouse.

[Lightweight Chain Gun/Advanced]

[Lightweight/High-speed/Heavy bullets]

Greenland pointed his gun at the Camelot lizard, pulled the trigger, and silver bullets rained down.

Under Greenland's control, 70% of the bullets fired landed on the Camelot lizard, hindering its movements. The recoil from the chain gun propelled her further into the air, causing her to deviate from her intended landing spot and accelerate her descent.

In the instant of falling, Greenland put away his chain gun and took out his weapon again from the warehouse, but because of the action of putting away his equipment, the Camelot dragon caught up with him and was forced into close combat, which was disadvantageous to him.

This is not Greenland's fault. Due to the unique nature of firearms, which are composed of various parts, the failure rate of reinforcement is very high. The more complex the structure of a firearm and the more parts it has, the higher the probability of failure.

The [Lightweight Chain Gun] in her hand is already quite complex. Surviving three upgrades is already very lucky. It has all three attributes, and even one of the extremely rare [Bullet Reinforcement] attributes. It's practically the work of a chosen one.

She treasures it dearly; she'd be heartbroken if it fell or bumped even slightly. How could she possibly throw it away, even if it put her in a bad situation?

Moreover, the disadvantage of close-quarters combat for Greenland is only that the probability of being grazed and instantly killed increases. Conversely, because of the close proximity, the larger and more robust Camelot dragons find it difficult to unleash their full power.

You can either choose to launch a short-range attack or make a big move, but that will leave you more openings to interrupt your attack.

The battle was also a battle of wits. After being forced into close combat, Greenland took out a sewing needle sword similar to that of the seamstress.

During her journey to the Fountain of Youth, the seamstress used her needle sword to sew Blaze's out-of-control hand to her shoulder. After briefly bringing Blaze under control, she became fascinated with this rather obscure weapon.

If there were a tailor-related profession, she could sew at high speed like a seamstress. Unfortunately, she doesn't have one, and she doesn't intend to use a valuable job position for a profession with only one skill.

Rather than specializing, she is better suited to a well-rounded development, and the more methods she has, the better.

She deduced that the Camelot dragon would take advantage of her lack of strength to interrupt its momentum and launch a powerful attack. Of course, if the Camelot dragon was intelligent enough, it should understand that a piercing weapon like the Needle Sword, even without much strength, could penetrate the point of impact and allow it to choose a short-range burst attack.

As expected, upon seeing the Needle Sword, the Camelot Dragon Lizard's movements immediately became short and fast, giving Greenland no chance to thrust out the Needle Sword.

Greenland wasn't disappointed at all. She had simply taken out her weapon, which forced the Camelot dragon to abandon its idea. That was already a success.

Moreover, the needle sword was not rendered useless because there was no point of leverage to strike; it was used to stab pressure points and eyes.

【Acupoint Master】is the only class she relearned after her account was wiped, and she only learned one skill: 【Acupoint Diagram】.

The benefits of the acupoint striking skill are too high. Considering that there will be more and more types of monsters in the future, simply memorizing them will not be enough to deal with them. Therefore, Greenland made a compromise and raised the proficiency of the [Acupoint Striking Diagram] skill to A.

Once she reaches Proficiency A, she can reveal all the acupoints of any monster she can identify. Even for monsters she can't identify, she can unlock them step by step through physical contact and collisions during battle.

Of course, pressure point techniques are useless against monsters like Golem, but that's the trade-off.

Greenland didn't target the Camelot Dragon Lizard's weak point. Monsters of a certain level and above have intuitive skills, which alert them to highly threatening attacks, so she aimed for the pressure points that would cause paralysis.

With a single thrust, the Camelot dragon lizard reacted as if electrocuted, its body convulsing unnaturally before it lost its balance and nearly collapsed.

"Chance."

Greenland showed no tension or excitement, and naturally planned to use the sewing needle sword to aim at the remaining acupoints and stab them.

But the moment the Camelot dragon lizard collapsed, its cloaked skin instantly turned pitch black, completely black.

The Greenland's spine bristles, and it instinctively and decisively retreats, only to be met with an intense burst of scorching heat the next second.

Unlike a normal heat burst that emanates from the inside out, the heat burst caused by the Camelot dragon caused the temperature of the surrounding area to rise sharply.

If Greenland hadn't kept its distance in time, it would have been scorched to death.

"It's still the ability to mimic, but it's completely black, which greatly increases its heat absorption capacity, causing the surrounding temperature to rise. Not only that..." Greenland grinned. Her [Acupoint Diagram A] could also infer the opponent's condition by observing their acupoints and meridians.

This is also a special usage.

From her perspective, the Camelot dragon's blood was flowing rapidly, its body was becoming active, and the lost blood was rapidly being restored.

"Change! Blazer!"

Greenland decisively retreated.
