I Became an Illegal Cheat User

66 – Assault (2)

The name of the minigun was not called ‘Angel of Death’ for nothing.

Kwahahahaha─!

With a very rough noise, the bullets were grinding down the approaching monsters.

No, it was beyond just grinding; it was ‘erasing’ their very existence.

Bang! Kwang! Bang!

Explosions echoed from all directions.

At the same time, a divine light flashed.

My comrades were continuously throwing ‘Holy Grenades.’

Kuwung!

“The barrier has collapsed here!”

“Someone set up a barrier quickly!”

“…I’m on my way!”

From somewhere, the shouts of my comrades could be heard, indicating where the barrier had fallen.

I swiftly turned the muzzle in response to their cries.

And I fired the minigun at the monsters trying to enter through the broken barrier.

Pababababababang─!

– Kieeeeeeeek─!

The grotesquely shaped monsters were being shredded by the minigun’s overwhelming firepower.

Simultaneously, due to one of the minigun’s effects, ‘Explosion (B-),’ the surrounding monsters were also being killed off.

In the meantime, a comrade who had dashed to the collapsed barrier set down a 2-meter-sized box and touched the debris of the barrier.

As I had informed beforehand, they utilized the rules of the ‘Infinite Item’ to obliterate the destroyed barrier (consumable item).

The moment Dong-ki confirmed the barrier’s dissolution, he pressed the button located at the center of the box he had just set down.

Wheeeing! Clunk, clunk!

As the box opened, it instantly transformed into an 8-meter tall barrier.

“Barrier installation complete!”

Just as Dong-ki shouted that, cries echoed from elsewhere, announcing that barriers were collapsing.

At that, one of the comrades throwing grenades from atop the barrier leaped down, grabbed a stack of barrier kits, and sprinted toward the breach.

And in that vacant spot, Dong-ki, who had just installed the barrier, filled in the gap.

I nodded at the swift exchange and returned the minigun’s barrel to its original position.

At the same time, as I spun the halted minigun and pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The barrels of the minigun erupted.

It couldn’t withstand the strain of the special round, ‘Holy Blessing Inscribed Bullet (A).’

But that was alright.

The minigun in my inventory was infinite.

Whoosh.

I hurled the damaged minigun outside the barrier and pulled out a new one from my inventory.

Then, I took out a new ammo box and connected it to the minigun.

Wheeeeeing…!

While I momentarily diverted my attention elsewhere, I unleashed the minigun toward the monstrous creatures that had nearly closed in on the barrier.

…Kwaaah─!

– Kieeeek!

The creatures, which had aimed to ram their sharp claws and grotesque bodies into the barrier, were swept away in an instant, dodging the barrage of grenades from my comrades.

As a result, the distance between the barrier and the monsters widened once more.

After firing the minigun about three times.

Thud…, thud….

A heavy sound began to resonate.

And that sound originated from the darkness.

It echoed not from one place, but from multiple locations.

Thud…, thud…, thud….

The sound grew closer and closer.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

It quickened with each beat.

And before long.

– Kraaah─!

A massive beast in the form of a bipedal bear revealed itself.

It stood about 10 meters tall, its entire body covered in hard, scaly armor as if it were clad in a suit of armor.

“Massive beast sighted!”

“Another massive beast here!”

“One has appeared over here too!”

“Here as well!”

Cries of massive beasts appearing echoed from all directions.

In response, I hurriedly shouted to my main cast.

“Lee Seoyeon! Asuka! Arthur! Leave the regular monsters to the others and take down the massive beasts!”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

“Got it!”

As soon as my orders were given, the main cast sprang into action, charging toward the massive beasts.

Watching the glint of their swords rise, I turned the barrel of my minigun toward the massive beast barreling toward the wall where I stood.

Brrrrrrr─!

– Kraaah─!

The massive beast, now a target of a blinding white flash, let out a cry of pain.

But unlike the regular monsters that disintegrated and vanished from existence,

Thud, thud!

The massive beast continued its relentless charge, its scales shattering and body breaking apart, yet it recovered with astonishing regenerative power.

“You’ve got quite the regeneration, don’t you?”

I discarded the minigun I was holding and pulled out a new one.

This time, I connected it to a box of freezing ammunition.

“Let’s see if this works too.”

I pulled the trigger.

Wiiiiiiiiing…!

The barrel of the minigun spun.

…Kwahhh─!

From the muzzle of the minigun, bullets were fired at an astonishing rate of up to 4,000 rounds per minute.

And as the bullets struck the massive beast’s body.

Charrlrlrlrl─!

Thanks to the freezing rounds, the beast’s body began to freeze solid.

And not long after.

– Kyaaa… Ah… Ah… Ah.

An ice statue was formed just three meters in front of the barrier.

“Oh, what a masterpiece?”

I don’t know who made it, but it seems exceptionally well-crafted.

I chuckled softly and tossed the minigun and ammo box outside the barrier.

At the same time, I pulled out a new minigun and an ammo box containing ‘explosive rounds’ from my inventory and equipped them.

Then I fired the minigun at the statue’s legs.

Kwahwahwahwah─!

The statue’s legs were instantly obliterated.

Kugugugugung…!

As the legs shattered, the statue, having lost its support, crashed to the ground and splintered into pieces.

The shockwave caused nearby monsters to be crushed or injured.

But that was just a fraction of the chaos.

The number of monsters charging toward me was still staggering.

I sighed at the oncoming horde and fired the minigun.

‘At this rate, how long will it take to defeat them?’

If only I could send a box of grenades into the midst of the monsters and detonate it.

But doing so would jeopardize the forward base.

So what can I do?

I had no choice but to keep firing the minigun.

Kwahwahwahwah─!

The combination of the minigun’s ‘explosion’ and the ‘explosive rounds’ created a surprisingly large blast.

However, perhaps because the explosive power was great but the damage was low.

– Kkiieeeek!

– Kkiiaaak!

– Kiggigigigik!

The monsters that had been flung away by the explosion got back up as if nothing had happened.

It seems that the only effective attribute against the magical (魔) attribute monsters is the light (明) attribute.

With that in mind, I discarded the mini-gun and ammo box I had been using and pulled out the box of Christmas ammo.

Then, I took out a new mini-gun, loaded it with Christmas rounds, and fired at the monsters.

– Kkiiaaak…!

Only then did the monsters begin to let out proper death cries.

Watching the monsters, I felt the magical power from my necklace and realized that the cooldown for my clairvoyance had ended.

I immediately activated clairvoyance.

Whoosh.

With a sensation of my mind floating, my vision soared upward.

‘Where could the illusion be right now?’

I applied the filter I had set for clairvoyance.

Suddenly, various colored dots began to appear over the unmanned island, shrouded in darkness.

At the same time, I was taken aback.

‘…What the hell!’

The white dot that had been the only illusion just five minutes ago had multiplied tremendously.

And those dots were approaching us at a very fast speed.

‘Which dot is the illusion?’

I hurriedly manipulated clairvoyance.

But I couldn’t change the color just for ‘illusion.’

If I changed the color of ‘illusion,’ the white dots that were approaching us also changed color.

It seems that there is a limit to the identification effect of enemies and allies in clairvoyance, perhaps due to the ‘B-‘ grade, as it only applies to ‘groups.’

‘…For now, I need to reduce the number of monsters.’

With the monsters closing in now.

If the corrupted ones attack as well, I won’t be able to handle it.

Moreover, since I don’t know where the illusion is, I need to hurry and prepare.

As soon as I thought that, I expanded my view toward the only outpost visible on the deserted island.

And I fired the minigun at all the monsters in sight.

─────!

……!

…! ……!!

……!

I was activating my clairvoyance, so I couldn’t hear any sound.

But while I couldn’t hear anything, I could see.

Countless white flashes shooting from the minigun raised toward the sky.

And those flashes falling upon the heads of all the monsters surrounding the outpost.

‘The duration of clairvoyance is 30 seconds.’

Within that time… no, to be precise, I had to wipe out the monsters within 20 seconds.

‘I used 10 seconds confirming where the distractions were, so 20 seconds is correct.’

Thinking this, I discarded the minigun with a destroyed barrel.

And to save time retrieving it from my inventory, I summoned the minigun and ammo box through teleportation, continuing to fire.

But it seemed I was running out of time to use up the new ammo box.

The effect of clairvoyance ended.

…Kwahhh─!

As my vision returned to normal, sounds began to filter back in.

I lowered the barrel that had been aimed at the sky.

And I sprayed the minigun at the still overwhelming number of monsters.

While doing so, I infused my magic and shouted.

“The corruptors are coming soon!”

Just as I was about to continue with “Everyone, prepare yourselves.”

Piyuuu…, bang!

A red flare shot up from the lighthouse.

Noah had fired the signal flare.

That meant something had gone wrong.

And I had a feeling I knew what that problem was.

It made sense.

“…A traitor─!”

Amidst the monsters pouring forth from the darkness.

The traitors were leaping alongside them.

And I could see something cradled in the arms of those traitors.

“Ah, insane!”

As soon as I caught sight of it, I spat out a curse.

Then, gathering all my magical energy, I shouted.

“Shubamkwang─!”

At that, the kids on the wall turned pale and hurriedly jumped down.

I was no exception.

…Chijijijik!

As soon as I descended from the wall, the sound of fuses igniting echoed from all directions.

At that sound, I called out someone’s name.

“Park Garam─!!”

At my call, Park Garam quickly raised his hand.

And the moment he slammed the ground, filled with gray magic.

「Shubaaam──!!」

Kwaaang─!

All the walls exploded.
