After appearing right behind me, Zephyr pulled me into his  domain which is *** a manifestation of one''s true self and nature and also final move of Strong guys.


    In his domain, it was one sided I was brutally taking damage. **I did not have any way to escape.***


    As I was losing control, I saw a reflection of someone laughing like a crazy Maniac.


    **It was me *** I didn''t believe that, but that reflection pulled me in.***

    Instinct took over.


    ***System notification.*** Going full berserker to help Host.


    **BOOM!**


    A red aura **burst** around me, enhancing my reflexes.  I was conscious but at the same time not.


    Zephyr’s blade **slashed down.**


    I raised my Berserker Sword—**CLANG!**


    Our weapons **clashed**, sending a shockwave through the cathedral.


    Zephyr’s red eyes narrowed. **"Hoh… you can keep up?"**


    I grinned. **"Not just keep up."**


    I **swung my sword**, forcing him back.


    Then—


    I raised my gun.


    **"Eat this."**


    **BANG! BANG! BANG!**


    Three **magic bullets** flew toward him—each enhanced with my **new ability.**


    **Phantom Shot.**  It is a ability I gained when Gunslinger leveled up.


    They **changed direction mid-air.**


    Zephyr’s smirk **disappeared.**
