Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 664 Players Vs. Players

Tsuru's confidence seems to have risen quite a lot after equipping the new cannon. It's also clear that he is now rearing to go and fight as well. With the new cannon as part of his arsenal, he is now looking amazing and he is now not just some kind of useless-looking guy who carries a cannon attached to a ship.

"Wow, although I just switched to this cannon, I can tell that this is going to become one of the amazing weapons I might have equipped in the whole playthrough! I never thought you would just give this so casually! Are you sure I can just get this for free?"

"No worries. It's not that big of a problem anyways and I don't think you needed to pay much."

Although the effects of the cannon were quite big, the main reason it has good stats is due to how I forged it and my mastery of Blacksmithing.

Because my Mastery in blacksmithing is already quite high already, anything I make will become a high-quality item despite the material used. For example, if I created the beginner sword that is given to all swordsman classes with my current mastery, the beginner sword would be much stronger than the level 30 sword you can buy on the blacksmith shops or random monster or boss drops. That's how ridiculous the mastery of my blacksmithing rank is plus with the guidance of Almira as well, it's not a big wonder for the results as well.

"Alright, looks like you are ready. Once the cannons are ready to be used, we shall strike immediately. Are you ready?"

"Of course. I am not gonna drag you down!"

"Good! Now, let's do this!"

Tsuru made a few NPCs he trained to use the cannons before taking their positions on the wall. After joining me at the top of the walls, he snapped his fingers and the cannons materialized the soldiers immediately take control of the cannons and destroyed the peace of the night as the cannons started to blow out cannonballs which made all of the people on the battlefield panic the moment the cannonballs came raining down on them.

"Let's go!"

Tsuru nodded and the two of us activated our flight abilities and fly into the sky. Before we get near the area, I pulled out my Versatile Weapon and changed it into a Bow and Arrow, and started aiming and releasing arrows without stopping. My aim might not be stellar but it was also not bad as I managed to hit a few before we are almost near the ground.

Before we reach the ground, Tsuru already deactivated his flight and crashes to the ground with the cannon face down to the ground, knocking down multiple players in one go. He stood up and immediately shot out a cannonball at the nearby players. Those who did not get to defend immediately were sent flying while those who managed to defend were injured but still remained standing.

CLACK!

The cannon released a little puff of smoke before it proceeds to do its auto-reload. Before the reload is done, Tsuru swings the cannon like a hammer, knocking a few players down, and after the initial swing, the auto-reload was also done as well.

Before the other players can recover, he aimed his reloaded cannon once more and this time, shot out the spread-type bullet of the cannon, [Grapeshot]. The quick moves Tsuru made me realize that I have been underestimating how capable cannoneers are even in close combat while incorporating their destructive cannon shots in close range. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

I barely see players pick cannoneers and if there is one, most of the time, I only see them in the backline shooting enemies with their cannons and they usually just go ahead and continue to fight in the range area and not in melee combat. Tsuru's combat style made me able to see the potential of the cannon and how I can incorporate it into my play style of switching weapons mid-battle.

I landed down as well and used my Versatile Weapon to transform into a Bo staff. I have yet to use this form in a battle but in terms of using a stick in a battle, this is much easier to use than a sword as I can incorporate my limited knowledge in street fighting as well.

"There! That guy is an enemy! Get him!"

Seeing the players start to gather around to fight me, I also did not just watch them attack me, I hit up the Bo staff in the air before swinging it around to the unsuspecting players. With the length of the Bo staff much longer than a normal sword, one swing would at least hit at least one or two of the players. I know this is just a piece of wood but since this is the Versatile Weapon, its attacks are not just something that would be coming from a block of wood as well but similar to a sword hitting them.

"F*CK F*CK! What the heck?! The Bo staff of this guy hits harder than a sword! Stay away from his range! Bombard him with magic! Hit him with bullets! Anyone who can hit him with ranged attacks!"

Smart of them to immediately back off before they get knocked out and instead, they went to another fighting method however, for someone like me, that method won't work.

Activating [Stealth], I disappeared right under their noses and immediately ambushed one of their mages and transformed my Bo staff into a gun. Grabbing the neck of the magician, I put the gun into his temple and pulled the trigger, effectively sending him to the Cathedral.

"Man down! Healers! What are you doing?!"

When he shouted for healers, multiple healers appeared and immediately revived the magician I defeated.

"Multiple Clerics huh? Then they can keep reviving them again and again if these guys remained alive."

Because there are multiple Clerics that will cast [Resucitation] to revive the fallen players, I cast [Stealth] once again and changed my weapon into a Magic Sword. Although a dagger is good to use here, I am not proficient enough to perform an execution as quickly as possible and the only weapon I am very proficient with in defeating multiple enemies at once is the Magic Sword.

Casting [Sharpness] and [Attack Up], the glint of the Versatile Weapon has increased as well. While they are still looking for me, I took advantage and slip into the ranks of the Clerics and immediately sliced down to their necks in quick succession. Because most of my attacks hit the fatal spot and with the effects of both [Sharpness] and [Attack Up], not only the Clerics who have low defense did not last a single blow, I efficiently cleaned them up and sent all of the clerics available to the Cathedral, locking them out of choices on reviving.

As I slice down the final Cleric available, the warriors who are backing up the clerics went over to respond to the screams of the Clerics but before they can even get near, a few cannonballs land on them, squashing them to mush. I evaded a few as well but those players who didn't get to be lucky are all killed.

I looked at Tsuru whether he was in a bad situation or if he died but he was still hanging out there. He managed to clear half of the players down as well. Seeing his HP has fallen to critical levels, I snap my fingers and cast [High Heal] and [Heal] to him back to back to fully charge up all of his HP. Tsuru was surprised at first but seeing that it was my handiwork, he smiled and nodded before he returned to his prior rampage with full vigor now that his low HP has finally been refilled.

With the cannonballs, Tsuru, and my attacks, most of the players who were supposed to fight and take over the siege were killed. The siege weaponry was also destroyed one by one by either Tsuru's attacks or by the constant cannon barrage being sent to the battlefield.

Kaisar who was at the back angrily stomp his foot seeing most of the players he was hoping to help with the fight were wiped out by the two people at best.

"Useless! It's only two players fighting you guys and yet you all are wiped out?! How useless are all of you?!" Kaisar angrily berated one of the players who took his chance to drink a potion.

"I know you were supposed to be the leader but f*ck you if you think we are just your pawns in this fight. Those f*ckers are not just some random player who easily gets killed in a battle, that's Bladeheart and the other is the Cannon Maniac Tsuru. If you think fighting against them is a joke for you, then go and defeat them. As for me, whatever. I don't care if the quest ends up in failure, that's much better than losing some of my items or my levels just because I can't kill them," the guy didn't hesitate and crushed one of the Teleport Crystals and disappeared, leaving the raging Kaisar.

"I don't care if that guy is whoever he is! He is going down! No one dares to mess with Kaisar and live!"
