After getting the insignificant loot from the boss, I opened the panel for the gun and tap the "Rename" option. I have been holding on to naming the gun for a while now since I want to know its main effects. Now that I already got the results, the only way to complete the project is to name the little thing.
Compared to the Fodder Magic Sword, this gun is not going to be part of the weapons that I will be feeding to the Versatile Weapon once it is fine to use it again. The effects of this weapon are already very good as a standalone and I don't even know if those effects will be carried over to the Versatile Weapon once it is devoured and if I let it devour this weapon, only one of the skills will be transferred which will make it a bit of a waste to choose what skill I will need to retain and which skill to throw away after.
Then, I realized that naming weapons is quite a chore and annoying thing. I don't think I have good naming sense. And I tried to rack my head on what to use as a proper name to this gun. I tried typing a few names but after I typed it out, I ended up not liking it. After much debate on my mind on what name I will use, I decided to choose "Pain Delivery" as its name. It's lame and uncreative but I don't have any kind of unique naming sense that would make this gun badass just by the name alone.
As for the boss? It's already dead and it dropped some loot that I don't need. It didn't even drop any weapon and just dropped some materials that I don't have any usage. The only things that I can use on its drops are the gold, exp, and some gold ingot that it dropped the moment the boss died. As for the rest, it will all get sent to the trash bin.
After the clearance of the dungeon, I decided to go out. I think the time I entered and went out of the dungeon is pretty short. Also, it's not because the monsters that I attacked are weak, the Pain Delivery is just too strong in the current time. If there are tier lists on weapons, this thing will become part of the S Tier weapons.
[Would you like to put a record on your clearance time to the Hall of Fame?]
Yes/No
Perhaps my clearance time to the Hard Mode is fast enough seeing the prompt of allowing me to record my clearance time to the Hall of Fame. There is no harm in leaving it and I am already famous enough by other players so there is no need for me to keep a secretive streak on this crap.
I click yes and recorded my name on it. It doesn't really matter to me whether I got a new record. It's not even that much of a good record anyway. If I got serious and had a proper weapon, that speed is nothing but meh, I am not in a mood to do a speed run anyway so let's leave it at that.
After leaving the dungeon and materializing outside, the players outside started to gather once again. I can hear lots of their noises but I can't properly understand what they are saying if they are too noisy.
"Oy, Bladeheart! Finally, I spotted you!"
I tilt my head to where the source of the call came from. I don't remember appointing a meeting on someone else today here. So I don't know who it was and with all the ruckus of other players, I can't easily figure out who the heck this guy is. Perhaps one of those players who just wanted to talk to me to do something like this and that so I quickly ignored his calls. I am just not in the proper mood right now to entertain random people.
"Just wait right there you f*cker! Stop I said!" the voice seems familiar but with his threatening voice, I don't think this is an acquaintance that has a good relationship with me. Perhaps it's a player that got something to me and I managed to piss him off on something. I don't know though, his voice is annoying, I would rather avoid him than meet up with the guy.
"You motherf*cker! You really are testing my patience! Stop I said!"
When the guy started to threaten, that's when I stopped and decided to take action. The danger radar that I personally built on my mind started to tingle a lot and I know this f*cker has nothing good with him.
I took a quick look and he started to release a [Blast Wave] towards my direction. It was clear that this guy didn't even care if he can kill normal citizens. It seems he is much more in care of exacting revenge or whatever he wanted than to care about the welfare of the players in the area.
"Hey! What's the big idea?! Why is he suddenly trying to drag us to his crap?!"
"Just get out of his way! That guy is crazy against Bladeheart I guess."
"This f*cker... Hey! You are not the only player walking around here! At least be mindful of your actions dammit!"
I can hear in the distance he is about to unleash [Blast Wave] already. Since [Blast Wave] has a bit of a charging time before it can be unleashed allowed me to have time enough to stop this guy from ruining everyone's day here.
Pulling out the gun, I turned to my back and aimed. Since the guy is charging his [Blast Wave] behind my back, that only means he is standing directly behind me but with a bit of a distance for the maximum effect of the skill.
Without waiting for him to negotiate with me, I pulled the trigger and...
BANG!
His body which is still holding the hilt of his sword while being charged in preparation for the [Blast Wave] got sent flying from the gunshot.
At that moment, my name glows red. Seeing it get red means I killed the perpetrator in one shot. Since [Blast Wave] has yet to hit anything or anyone in the matter and still has no intention of being released to any players, the punishment is not on him but on me.
No one can see my name in any way due to the title effects, but I hated having a red name so I immediately took a potion that deals with the red name before leaving. Whoever the poor guy was, it's his fault that he is sent to oblivion for being quite petty and for keeping on trying to catch my attention while there are other players out there.
The event leaves the players in the area baffled by the result. It was not in their expectation for me to just shoot him dead. After all, he was preparing to do an ultimate attack only for it to get interrupted and stopped before it can even be unleashed.
"Uh... what do we do with the loot on this guy?"
"Leave it there, whoever this guy is, has a big backing on something or someone else. We are not Bladeheart who is capable of handling things all by himself. Let's just go and scram, we will have more profit if we work hard on our raids and dungeon dives than to mess up with someone like him.
The other players are also smart enough to not loot against him. Whoever suggested that deserves a medal. Anyone crazy enough to handle him just had enough crap to handle.
With all the crap handled and no one brave enough to attack me just like the guy who died, I managed to return to the castle without a hassle
...
...
When I arrived at the castle, someone else is talking to Queen Tanya. Compared to Queen Tanya who currently has an article of thin clothing to adapt more to desert life, the person before she is emanating a cold chill in the air. It was like every step she makes, snow and ice are released. It was cold enough I can immediately tell who this person is.
Sandurk Continent is a continent of desert and other infrastructure that is involved in the climate of the desert. However, that is not the main case here. Sandurk might be a continent of the desert but there's not only a single ruler of the Desert Continent but there are two people.
The first and most well-known ruler is none other than Queen Tanya. However, there isn't only Queen Tanya ruling the desert, one more queen is ruling the Sandurk. However, she does not govern the heat and the sands of the desert. The queen that rules over ice and snow, the Freezing half of the Sandurk Continent.
Yes, the person who was talking to Queen Tanya is none other than Queen Tori, the twin sibling of Queen Tanya and the ruler of the freezing parts of Sandurk Continent, the duchess of Ice and Frost.
Epilogue of Arc 4 END.

A/N: Thank you everyone for being there for me this entire time and thank you for the continuous support for reading my novel! I know you guys might be wondering why I have quite irregular updates and why only one chapter a day? Personally, I plan to release two chapters in one day as a regular update but due to some things currently happening IRL, I have to reduce a lot of my time in writing and if I ever have time to write, it would be at night.
It will take quite some time before I can finally return to stabilization of my updates and if my situation has finally taken a good turn, I will be increasing my release rates. However, for now, it would have to be remaining on one chapter a day. I might also add a bit on fans' giveback soon once I have enough extra coins I can spare. But for now, it will be put on hold for a little bit.
Also, I will be reminding you all that a few of the beginning chapters has been changed in correspondence to some missing info here and there. I also improved it a bit and although it still has mistakes, at least it's a bit bearable compared to the previous form. So if you guys spotted some typos here and there, please be sure to comment on it so that I can change it in the future edit.. Much appreciated guys, and I hope I will see you in the next arcs too.
Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
