A Guiding bullet lanced for Menou, leaving a trail of light.

The powerful gunshot only managed to pierce her afterimage, as she’d already leaped away before it left the weapon’s muzzle.

Menou’s Guiding Enhancement bolstered her kinetic vision such that she saw the movement of Genom’s finger as he started to pull the trigger. Evading his attacks wouldn’t be an issue.

However, she couldn’t manage to close the distance between them.

“…”

After avoiding the latest volley, she set her sights on the man again.

While the machine gun’s power and continuous spray were dangerous, its aim couldn’t keep up with Menou’s enhanced movements, and a Barrier made up for any shortcoming on her part. The large-caliber gun would pierce a barrier conjuring in a single shot, forcing her to evade that, no matter what. However, since Genom had tossed each of those high-powered pistols after a round or two, it was safe to assume they couldn’t hold up to their own force. As long as she was careful, she didn’t have to fear them too much.

Dealing with one type of firearm at a time would’ve been simple. Unfortunately, Genom constantly switched between the three, which was much more threatening.

“What d’you say, Flarette?”

She couldn’t get close enough to attack, nor would she win in a shootout. But the situation wasn’t quite desperate enough to warrant firing a bullet with the Pure Concept Decay Acceleration conjuring attached. While Menou was locked in a stalemate that was perfectly balanced in a way, Genom raised his weapon proudly.

“Those damn priestesses treat them as toys, but my Guiding guns have gotten real powerful, don’cha think?”

“You’re certainly as zealous about them as everyone says.”

“It just so happens, I’m in the process of having one of the Primary Triad soldiers develop these for sale.”

That statement was the true reason why Genom Cthulha was so deeply despised.

Terrorists in cities, adventurers, and other scoundrels were all equipped with Guiding guns because of Genom’s rise to power.

He was the source of the Guiding guns sold and distributed all over the continent.

“What do you think? Grisarika’s gone independent and started calling off taboos, right? You wanna get a bite of this market, too?”

“Unfortunately, we’ll be maintaining the ban on Guiding guns. And you’ve just given me proof that we made the right decision about that.”

“Damn. Your loss.”

Conjured soldiers wouldn’t normally develop weapons that others could use. They had no need for tools to kill humans.

However, the man called Genom Cthulha had managed to win the support of conjured soldiers in the Mechanical Society, hence his “Arms Dealer” title.

He’d established trade with a conjured soldier, securing mass production of Guiding guns for humans. By selling Mechanical Society mass-produced firearms in steady, large quantities, he’d risen to become an infamous villain known all over.

Conjured soldiers were born as ultimate weapons. They’d never decided to manufacture weapons to kill humans on their own. Typically, any arms they created suited their forms, giving no consideration for how a person would wield them.

Just thirty years ago, Guiding guns were exceedingly rare,
