A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1573 - 1056: The Competition Begins_3

So she too raised her knife without hesitation, swinging it again at the Meteor Magic in front of her, shattering it.

However, just as the vice president swung down, breaking the Meteor Magic, she saw that Mary did not retreat like before; instead, Mary’s left hand suddenly lifted, and a strangely shaped handgun appeared in her hand!

"Bang!!"

The sudden gunshot startled even Banriya, who was fighting the Knight nearby. Everyone quickly turned to look towards the source of the sound, only to see Mary holding a Magic Wand in her right hand and a handgun in her left, aiming forward. In front of her, the vice president was half-kneeling on the ground, reaching out to cover her chest.

"I really didn’t expect you to use a gun..."

Looking at the firearm in Mary’s hand, the vice president was speechless. This was understandable — whether in the Devil World or the Human World, demons typically fought with either melee weapons or magic, making a gun an extremely rare weapon. So when Mary pulled out her gun, the vice president didn’t even realize what happened before being hit.

Come to think of it, she was a foreign exchange student, but still...

"I can’t believe you managed to bring a gun in here..." freёnovelkiss-com

"Please don’t move."

Mary stood in place, her gun still aimed at the vice president in front of her.

"I heard that in this match, losing combat capability means automatic elimination. You’re already injured and can’t continue the fight."

"Indeed, although it didn’t hit a vital spot, at this rate, it’s only a matter of time before I’m eliminated."

The vice president gasped for breath, then looked towards Mary.

"But... I’m not finished yet!"

No sooner had she spoken than the vice president suddenly leaped up, her long sword stabbing straight at Mary. Facing this nearly sacrificial strike, a golden light flashed in Mary’s eyes, and she raised her gun’s muzzle, aiming it at the vice president.

"Bang!"

Success!

Hearing the gunshot ring out again, a cold, triumphant smile appeared on the vice president’s face. She hadn’t expected her attack to harm Mary, but she had her own trump card — the Divine Artifact she had hidden!

"Come forth, Mirror of Recollection!"

With the vice president’s call, an ornately decorated mirror appeared before her. This mirror, if broken, would doubly reflect the damage back to the opponent — according to her plan, Mary’s bullet would surely break the mirror, causing the reflected attack to eliminate Mary along with her!

However... the expected scene did not happen. The bullet did not hit the mirror as the vice president had imagined. Instead, it grazed the mirror’s edge and hit the ground beside it.

How could this be...!

Witnessing this, the vice president’s eyes widened in shock. She was a counterattack expert, and logically speaking, her trump card hadn’t been exposed; the opponent should have no idea about the secret of her Divine Artifact.

Then, what exactly is this...?

The vice president’s thoughts ended here. The next moment, she collapsed to the ground from excessive blood loss, and with a flash of light, vanished into the air.

Meanwhile, the broadcast sounded once again.

[Cyan Zed’s ’Queen’, eliminated]

Seeing the vice president disappearing into the light, Castle and Knight, who were entangled with Banriya, exchanged a glance, nodded, and then abruptly retreated, turning to run!

"What do we do now, Sister Mary?"

Banriya also ran over, curiously looking at Mary. The latter thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Let’s chase them."
