The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Even though Kelda spent decades studying Rufrey's swordsmanship, attempting to cross this threshold through analogy, she still failed.

However, he dares to claim that he is the most knowledgeable person in the world about Rufry's swordsmanship.

After all, the others who had witnessed Rufrey's swordsmanship had long since turned to dust.

Kelda is grateful to Rufrey because it was through this swordsmanship that he was able to exact revenge on Rufrey's descendants centuries later.

"Blame it on the fact that you're from the Lafner family!"

Kelda wanted to eliminate the threat completely, but Feld's strength was greater than he had anticipated.

With his current injuries, he is no longer capable of dealing with another eighth-tier emblem envoy.

But once Feld dies, the remaining remnants of the Rafner family will absolutely not be able to defend the perilous Snowhill Valley.

His task was then considered complete.

Kelda conjured another ice sword in her hand and walked step by step toward Rufrey.

He pointed the tip of his sword at Feld's chest, ready to bring everything to an end, when suddenly a whooshing sound came from behind him.

Kelda turned and swung her sword, deflecting the ice crystal spear that was attacking from behind at the last moment.

The ice spear tumbled in the air, spinning several times before being caught by a boy.

“Since it’s Rufre’s swordsmanship,” Vena gripped the ice spear, its tip pointing directly at Kelda, “I wonder if I could have a go at it?”

Chapter 428 Vena: Your marksmanship is outdated.

Kelda initially did not take Vina seriously.

Even after a fierce battle with Feld, leaving him with only 20-30% of his peak strength, he is not someone that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can challenge.

Even if I stand still, this arrogant brat won't be able to break through my defenses.

Just like that old man who insisted on blocking his way.

Not to mention, this kid even dared to pick up his own ice crystal spear and use it.

That weapon was formed from the magic essence within Kelda's body. With just a thought, he could control the spear to explode and blast this annoying brat to smithereens.

Thinking of this, Kelda hummed softly.

"...Um?"

The spear in Viner's hand did not explode as he expected; instead, it assumed a starting stance that Kelda was all too familiar with.

"How on earth did you do that?"

Only then did Kelda take a proper look at the person in front of her.

"Even a human traitor kneeling at the feet of a demon and begging for mercy has the nerve to use Rufry's swordsmanship, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for me to borrow your gun?"

The already highly unstable ice crystal spear became as docile as a sheep under Gondorav's influence.

"The Laughman family has such a sharp-tongued descendant as you."

The pose that Wiener struck made Kelda subconsciously recognize him as a member of the Lafner family as well.

"But are you really going to use my marksmanship against me?"

The last person to do this is now nailed to the wall and on the verge of death.

Even if this young man's marksmanship is excellent, can he become a marksman master like Feld?

"Who knows if we don't try?" Viner smiled confidently.

Kelda immediately launched his attack, intending to deal with this arrogant brat first.

But Viña flipped the gun barrel over and slung it behind his back, then took out a block of iron from his ring.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Six bullets were fired in quick succession, aimed at Kelda's feet, knees, abdomen, chest, shoulder, and head.

The instant Vina fired, Kelda's warrior instincts sent a frantic warning.

He made the choice almost instinctively.

"Cang! Cang!"

Kelda switched from offense to defense, managing to deflect two bullets aimed at her chest and head at the last moment.

But the other four were not so lucky; four bloody holes instantly appeared on Kelda's body.

You call this thing a gun?!

Kelda practically roared.

He had never seen such a strange weapon.

To be able to penetrate his body means to be able to penetrate his heart.

Kelda, already at her last gasp, felt a life-threatening threat from this boy she had once regarded as an ant.

Viner didn't seem to be in a hurry. Instead, he showed the revolver in his hand to Kelda, saying, "This thing is called Flame Blade Gun. If you don't think it counts as a gun, you can treat it as a sword, and I have no objection."

Flame Blade - Gun: The most unique of the twelve variant blades.

Other variant knives, however unique, have not yet escaped the category of cold weapons.

However, the Flame Blade Gun is a genuine firearm.

With the fragments of Demon Blood Soul as the driving core and black iron as the main material for the gun barrel, its load-bearing capacity has been elevated to an extremely exaggerated level.

Bullets formed from condensed magic essence to its extreme can kill even demons.

"By the way, its bullets have been replaced."

Wiener smiled slightly.

He wouldn't have been so kind as to introduce Kelda if it weren't to delay the reloading time.

Six more shots followed in quick succession.

As long as the magic energy isn't depleted, Vina can reload bullets much faster than Kelda can recover from her injuries.

Having made preparations, Kelda fired four shots this time.

"Nonsense! That's clearly a bow and arrow!"

Only the most elite marksmen can refine their attacks to this level.

Having realized the intervals between Vener's shots, Kelda would not give him time to reload.

"I never said there was only one Flame Blade Gun!"

The Flame Blade Gun is not a single weapon, but a pair.

Wiener tossed the empty revolver into the air, then pulled out another pistol.

This automatic repeating pistol, though not as powerful as the previous revolver, has the advantage of holding more rounds.

"Boom bang bang-"

The continuous bursts of fire not only left six gunshot wounds on Kelda, but also hindered his progress once again.

Compared to the Rakshasa Blade, which consumes all its magic energy in a single strike, the Flame Blade Gun, which can continuously fire condensed magic energy by maintaining the Asura Blade, is particularly efficient when facing small enemies.

Three rounds of shooting were enough to turn Kelda into a bloody mess.

While the demon apostles are not as difficult to kill as demons, their lives can only be threatened if a vital point is struck.

As long as the injury is not fatal, it can be repaired with magic essence, which is the capital that Kelda has to wear down Feld.

However, the previous battle had already depleted most of his magic power, so Kelda gave up on repairing any injuries that did not affect his mobility.

He condensed the saved magic energy into a smooth ice crystal shield.

"This demon apostle is really tough," Vina thought to herself.

Such injuries and blood loss would have killed a normal human, but on Kelda, they only made him slightly weaker.

If things continue like this, I might be the one who can't hold on any longer.

As Wiener pondered how to break the deadlock, his gaze inadvertently swept over the spear held in his left hand, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Venerer retrieved the Flame Blade Gun from his ring, gripped the spear with both hands, removed Gondoraf from his left hand, and unleashed the power of the Fantasy Honkai residing in his right hand, causing his aura to surge instantly.

Just when Kelda thought that Vena was going to fight him in a real fight, Vena raised his spear with both hands and slammed it down, while simultaneously raising his knee to break the ice crystal spear in two.

Originally a spear formed from magic essence, it was destroyed and then transformed back into the purest magic essence.

Before Kelda could react, Vena pulled out the Flame Blade Gun again and absorbed all the magic energy released by the Ice Crystal Spear.

"you wanna die!"

Kelda was instantly enraged.

He had planned to kill Vina, retrieve the magic essence from the ice crystal spear to repair his injuries, and then escape from Snowdrift Valley. Who would have thought that this kid would dare to break his spear directly?

"If you break my sword, I'll break your spear; that's fair."

"I'll fucking break you too!"

Kelda's eyes were bloodshot, and she had completely lost her mind.

He was able to beg for mercy in the face of a demon.

Even when facing an imperial grand duke, he might offer flattery and sycophancy for power and wealth.

But how dare this kid?

He was clearly not even a high-ranking emblem bearer, an ant that Kelda would normally not even bother to look at, yet he dared to mock him like this.

Kelda held her shield to her chest and charged toward Vina.

Wiener also emptied the magazine without hesitation.

Amidst a hail of bullets, the ice crystal shield cracked instantly, yet it still held up until it reached Vina.

The sword, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed fiercely towards Viner.

But the panic and fear that Kelda had expected did not appear on Vina's face at all.

With a smile, Viner's body was reduced to a pool of black flames by Kelda's attack.

"Oh!"

Vena, who reappeared behind Kelda, fired the last bullet.

Chapter 429 The Last Zero Boundary Prison

If Kelda had been more observant, she would have noticed that Wiener had only fired sixteen bullets.

Even if the sounds of gunfire overlapped, the number of times the guns hit the shield and the body was undeniable.

One is a six-round revolver, and the other is a 11-round automatic revolver, for a total of 17 rounds.

The last bullet left by Viner pierced through the back of Kelda's head and flew out from between his eyebrows.

The wound left by the Flame Blade Gun wasn't large, but it was deadly enough.

If Kelda were in her full potential, she would have the opportunity to expend a massive amount of magic energy to repair her vitals.

However, he was already nearing the end of his life and clearly did not have the necessary magical energy.

Worried that the other party might launch a self-destruction attack before dying, after confirming that the bullet had hit, Vina followed up with a kick, sending Kelda flying far away.

The result of rapidly diminishing vitality is that even thoughts become sluggish.

Am I going to die?

Memories flashed by quickly.

Kelda thought that after she was transformed into a demon, she would never have the chance to see this revolving lantern.

So it seems that demons and humans are not so different after all.
