"The name of this beauty is PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II. It's a weapon I used in the past, but it's no longer necessary for me. I'm sure it will be useful in your hands."
"The Midnight-Sama weapon?"
Shino nervously took the rifle. She was truly flattered, and Nyu beside her also showed envy.
This was a weapon that her beloved Lord had used before. No matter how powerful her performance was, the simple fact that she had been touched by her Lord was worth more than any treasure.
If it were her, she would definitely have it displayed in her room as a treasure.
"This weapon will allow you to kill the enemy with a single shot from thousands of meters away. Although it is difficult for ordinary people to use, I'm sure you'll be able to handle it," Leon spoke calmly.
"Kill with a single shot from thousands of meters away?!"
Shino was so shocked that her hair stood on end. Her straight hair, which she had just combed in the morning, was now all disheveled, especially the ends.
It was simply a terrifying weapon.
She unconsciously grabbed the rifle, and the breath of the gato girl became a little difficult.
In fact, the moment she took the gun, Shino had a strange feeling.
It was as if she had recovered a part of herself; it was as if her soul resonated with this weapon.
"I will definitely meet the expectations of the Lord."
"Excellent. Oh, by the way, please change your style of fighting in the future. Swords are unnecessary for you. Just focus on using weapons to fight."
"I will give you two more submachine guns."
Leon said, taking two modified versions of P90 submachine guns with an ammunition capacity of more than 50 storage space cartridges and handing them to Shino's arms, regardless of the girl's confused expression.
"Eh? Don't I need a sword?"
"Yes, stop using swords."
"But in this case..."
Shino hesitated a little.
Because everyone in Night Raid is equipped with a magic pistol, and it is super easy to use, so everyone knows that firearms are specific weapons for medium- and long-range situations.
But when in a fight at an extremely short distance, magic firearms are not as effective as swords. Even if the opponent cannot move faster than a bullet, it is still very easy to avoid the weapon's barrel.
Leon's order was equivalent to asking Shino to completely give up fighting in short distances, to give up the conventional battlefield in this world, and to specialize completely in long-distance combat.
For a moment, Shino didn't know what to do.
It was written in Beta's book that her beloved Lord had a pair of eyes that could see through people's talents and find the path that suited them best.
So this seemingly random order must be correct, but... Shino was an insecure person and did not want to fail his expectations.
"Are you worried about being attacked?"
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. Your concern is correct. Although my order allows you to maximize your talents, if you are attacked closely, you will be really dead."
Leon admitted this bluntly, and Shino's heart skipped a beat. Did her Lord want her to specialize in long-distance skills even though they had such a great weakness?
To be honest, Shino was a little disappointed, but if he gave the order, the gato girl would still choose to obey him.
Her faith in him was a little shaken at that moment.
However...
"Don't worry, even with this weakness, you'll be fine. I promise."
Leon raised his hand to touch her head, and the cat ears he accidentally touched felt very nice. At the same time, Shino couldn't help but freeze after hearing this.
"Eh?"
"No need to worry. You're not fighting alone, silly girl. All Night Raid missions are performed with at least three people. With two companions, not even a hundred enemies can get close to you."
"Ah..."
Shino's eyes widened.
In fact...
As Leon said, although Night Raid girls are extremely powerful individually, they also pay special attention to team combat.
Leon smiled.
"And I will protect each of you."
"Midnight-Sama..."
"From now on, Shino, you can act as my bodyguard. While you are within a radius of two kilometers of me, there will be no one in the world who can hurt you. Can you feel comfortable with this?"
Now, Leon's space magic can completely teleport within that range, without even breathing. Even if the enemy's sword is just a few inches from the girl's neck, he can still reach her!
Shino stared at Leon.
The faith that was shaken now had been strengthened countless times...
Her master would protect her.
Is there any word that makes people feel safer than this?
Yes, there is nothing to worry about. Even if she's naked, as long as she's within Leon's domain, she's not in danger!
Her surroundings were like a utopia that isolated all pain. There was no safer place in the world.
"I understand, Midnight-Sama. Although I'm not mature, I will work hard to become your spear." Shino knelt and bowed, holding the Hecate in her arms.
"Hmm, that's great." Leon nodded with satisfaction. He liked the way others showed loyalty to him.
After that, Shino tried to shoot a few times and found that she was really very talented. She managed to hit a target almost a thousand meters away shortly after starting to train. She was truly an elite shooter.
The gato girl was even more surprised by the power of the rifle. She just moved her fingers, and a solid rock thousands of meters away was destroyed.
"What a powerful weapon. Midnight-Sama used it to defeat the level A monster from eight hundred meters away?"
"No, it would be a waste to use it for something like that."
Leon shook his head in denial.
Then he took an arrow from the storage space, placed it in an ordinary longbow, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath for a few seconds before aiming at the mountain in the valley.
His magical power was injected into the small arrow. This magical power was compressed to the extreme and could be visually seen, making Shino and Nyu take a deep breath.
Then Leon released the string of the bow.
The wind roared instantly.
Bam!
The arrow turned into a purple meteor flying toward the mountain at a speed that couldn't be detected with the naked eye.
Under the unbelievable eyes of the two women, he created a valley that was hundreds of meters thick.
And after flying hundreds of meters, the arrow hit an apple that grew on an apple tree at the bottom of the valley. Shino unconsciously swallowed.
Using this rifle to kill a level A monster from 800 meters away? What a foolish statement she had just made.
Leon didn't need it—he just used a common bow and arrow.
There should be no place in this world that his arrows cannot reach.
