Yet in stark contrast to its scholarly old-man appearance, this Dean Puppet had an utterly brutal fighting style.
It held a heavy submachine gun in each hand, spraying the players nonstop.
Although this was a sea of the supernatural, physical force was still very powerful, at least at this stage.
Apart from Rock Bear, none of the players present dared take a full-power 7.62 mm round head-on.
Even Rock Bear, in his giant bear form, could only huddle behind cover after taking an entire magazine during a frontal charge and nearly dying of heavy metal poisoning.
Fortunately, everyone present had previously obtained some of Jinpika's single-use items, more or less, which was the only reason they had held out this long.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, repeated bullet strikes tore a large hole through the metal shield in front of Rose.
Rock Bear, beside her, hurriedly reached out and shoved Rose out of the path of the following bullets, only to take a round in his own arm.
"How are you?"
Rose hastily pulled out an item and threw it in front of her, creating a waist-high metal box. She hid behind it as she asked Rock Bear.
She had previously defeated quite a few other players along the way and recovered many items, hoping to get some back for Lilia, but now she had no choice but to use them.
"I'm fine. I've got a thick hide."
Rock Bear grinned, then immediately grimaced. Apparently, he was not entirely fine.
Rose nodded and said calmly:
"This thing seems to have unlimited bullets. We can't just keep defending."
"If you can get right up to it, are you confident you can kill it in one blow?"
"Absolutely! This old geezer doesn't look like he can take much punishment!" Rock Bear thumped his chest.
