Chapter 347 - One Bullet At A Time (1/2)
”Hey, that guy seems to access the dungeon without a team. Isn't that pretty much a suicide?” one swordsman pointed at me while I am busy fiddling on the settings on my dungeon dive. I am just listening on the side.
”Ah, perhaps you didn't know but that guy is a little bit famous in the Alternate World community. Remember the winner of the Arena Competition that happened last time? That was the guy. I didn't say it exactly but I heard from some people that he also declared a solo guild war against a certain guild with plenty of players and won in the process.”
”What? He is that strong?”
”Yeah. Plenty of players calling him ”The Wolf” nowadays. However, no one tries to communicate with him much due to his mysterious nature. Some players even tried to find some clues on his real face but no one really knows. According to some, this adds some mystery to who he really is!”
Just listening on the side makes me really want to facepalm. The community already took notice of me huh? I know I am not making any lowkey actions and most of the time, they are doing significant changes in the game so I guess that would make a bit sense. But receiving this much attention is not something I really look forward to. Thankfully, some people are afraid of approaching me for that main reason.
I was about to enter the dungeon when a few players appeared with loud voices.
”Heh? So this guy is considered a strong guy and champion of the Arena Competition? Does that mean killing him right here and now will allow me to become the current Arena champion? Perhaps he will drop great goodies too!”
4 Players started to surround me. Since we are not in town and currently in a hostile area where monsters dwell, killing players here will not enrage authorities of the towns here but you will earn the red player status, becoming a player who is now labeled by the system who has committed a PK.
I didn't respond to the one guy and just continue to configure the dungeon. The player who sounded greedy earlier was also the first guy to strike first. Of course, he was slow so the strike he just did entirely miss.
[You have been attacked. You can now retaliate against the attackers without hitting a penalty.]
I grinned seeing the restriction is no longer there. I am now free to kill.
”Is that it?”
The others also attacked simultaneously. But they are not worth the time. So before they can even attack, I pull the gun I just forged and pull the trigger to the four players in rapid succession. I didn't even bother to aim, they are on point-blank range, killing them is easy.
I didn't bat an eye and pulled the triggers to them. And as I expected, their bodies exploded the moment they got shot by the gun. Before the other bastards can react, another bullet destroyed them and killed them in the process.
Since they already did the first striker earlier and the system already appear for me, killing them will not hit me with the Player Killing punishment. As for them, they died of course. If the dummies are not able to handle the power of the gun, then what about a human with light armor? It was an obvious outcome.
”Holy sh*t! He all one-shotted them all! What the hell?! So the rumors that he is really strong is true?! It wasn't just a fluke that he won against the Immovable Holy Knight?!”
”Told you, he is the one that we saw on the internet last time! I was not wrong!”
There are still some bullets left on my gun so I didn't reload. I just went ahead and input the final preparations on the panel and process my entry to the dungeon in solo. Despite the warnings of the dungeon that it is difficult to play without a party, I headed inside. This dungeon is already something I already memorized before so I don't need to get worried in any way with a gun and a crappy weapon that I crafted for the sake of being fodder.

[You have entered the Underground Tombs- Hard Difficulty]
The smell of dirt, dust, and a bit of undescribable smell emanates around the place. Not only that but the smell of iron and some rust also waves around. The only thing that is missing is the rotten smell. For a place crawling with dead people, the rotten smell is pretty much absent in this place.
”Alright, time to get working.”
My objective here is to test the effects of the gun and see how strong it was against bosses. With every target dying from a single shot, bosses in dungeons are my only hope that they won't die easily, or else, I can only stash this away and wait until I get to an enemy that is close to impossible to kill and just use it for my advantage.
As I walk forward, a horde of mummies appeared before me. I took a quick headcount and I managed to count at least a dozen of them. It was a clear count.
