With a single shot from Tyr's Wrist, Li Xuan blasted the tentacle monster Melk straight into a house by the roadside. The collapsing bricks buried the creature, its fate unknown.
However, the consequence of firing a personal rocket launcher on the street was a sky full of dust. The air's PM2.5 levels instantly shot through the roof.
"Cough, cough..." Everyone, including Li Xuan, started coughing.
"Cough, cough! Li Xuan, don't just shoot wherever you want on the street next time! Cough, cough..." Kiana warned, still coughing nonstop despite covering her mouth and nose.
"Cough... It's called firing a rocket launcher!" Li Xuan corrected Kiana's poor choice of words with a serious expression.
"Bronya initiating Project Bunny 19C's air filtration system... Request approved, system activated successfully." Bronya seemed to have activated her own black technology, standing calmly amidst the dust-filled air, which was even more terrifying than smog.
"Cough, cough... Is that tentacle monster dealt with?!" Raiden Mei asked, covering her mouth and nose.
"Uh, it... it should be," Li Xuan said, not entirely sure himself. After all, it was his first time encountering a creature that, before his transmigration, only existed in certain... indescribable books. He wasn't certain.
"No worries, I'll just finish it off with another shot!" Kiana declared boldly, proudly raising the somewhat heavy pistol in her hand, Asgard's Hammer. Getting hit by this gun was probably no less powerful than being hit by a cannon... after all, what kind of rocket launcher could produce lightning effects?!
The azure gun body still gleamed under the dim sunlight.
Kiana aimed the hand cannon, Asgard's Hammer, at the small mountain of rubble where the tentacle monster lay. If she aimed true, one shot from Mjolnir could ignore the bricks and hit Melk directly. She was confident that the outcome for the monster wouldn't be any better than being hit by a cannon.
"..." Kiana held Asgard's Hammer level, aiming at the pile of bricks not far away. Her index finger slowly prepared to pull the trigger...
"ROAR!!" Suddenly, a beast-like roar erupted from the pile of bricks. The next moment, rubble flew everywhere as a monster in the form of a young girl, but with hair whipping around like tentacles, shot up into the sky! The current tentacle monster Melk was slightly different; a dark blue crystal was now embedded in its forehead.
"Eh!" Kiana was thrown off by this sudden change, and in her carelessness... she accidentally pulled the trigger.
"BANG!!" A bullet crackling with thunder and lightning shot out from the muzzle once more.
"No need to even say it, that's definitely going to miss," Li Xuan thought, watching Kiana's bullet fly off in a direction a million miles away from Melk. He felt nothing, and even wanted to laugh a little.
