290 The Last Word

(Third Person POV)

"The Last Word?" Wolfheim said with a scowl on his face, "What the hell is that?" 

Jason then readied the hand cannon, taking aim at Wolfheim from the hip. 

"Allow me to demonstrate!" Jason said

In an instant, Jason fired multiple shots at Wolfheim that immediately struck him on his body. 

"What the!" Wolfheim said as the bullets pierced his armored skin, "This pain!" 

The bullets were able to wound Wolfheim even in his current form. He was mostly surprised at the speed Jason had fired, even from the strange stance. He had never seen anyone fire a gun from the hip at such speed and accuracy. And the trajectory speed of the bullets were far faster than anything he had experienced. Especially since Jason had quickly fanned the hammer with such precision. 

Jura was also surprised by this, "What kind...." He said, "What kind of weapon is that...?" 

Jason then spun the hand cannon on his finger as bullet casings fell down to the ground; he had reloaded the gun. 

"How do you like that?" Jason said, "The Last Word is a strong hand cannon. The caliber rounds aren't a joke. And then there's the special effect. Simple but extremely effective. This killer is automatic as long as I can fan the hammer." 

Wolfheim was rubbing his bullet wounds, "Is that so?" He said, "I see...." 

He wasn't that damaged, his magic allowed his wounds to slowly heal. So the bullets will soon be ejected out of his body. 

"Another thing..." Jason said, "Fan-firing from the hip deals more damage and it's more accurate with less recoil. So it's ideal to shoot.....like this.." 

In an instant, Jason aimed at Jura from the hip and fan-fired another quick volley of high-caliber rounds. 

Jura, however, was on guard. He summoned another rock wall to block the bullets. Suddenly, upon impact, the bullets caused several explosions that shattered the wall. 

This took him by surprise as he covered his face with his arm, "Explosive rounds?" He exclaimed

Jason then appeared next to him as he spun the hand cannon on his finger again, casings falling to the ground. 

"That's right." Jason said

"War Magic: Gunslinger's Special Reload." 

He straightened up as he aimed at Jura again. 

"I can choose what kind of effects the bullets have with my magic." He said, "Not a specific spell, I just came up with it...." 

Wolfheim then lunged at him, "You little runt!!" He growled

Jason then looked at him as he swiped his arms at him, dodging the claw strikes with ease. 

"It's not ideal to come inside point-blank range of The Last Word." He said, "Otherwise...." 

Jason then readied a hip-firing stance as he opened fire, fan-firing the hand cannon which unleashed another round of bullets, emptying it into Wolfheim's midsection.

As the bullets came into contact with Wolfheim, his back suddenly explodes as blood spewed out violently. 

Wolfheim widened his eyes in shock as he buckled over, clutching his midsection as he staggered back, blood coming out of his mouth. 

"Wolfheim-dono!!!" Jura shouted

"Hollow point rounds. Even with my high caliber hand cannon, they're quite deadly." Jason said, "But don't worry, you won't die, old man. I still have them as non-lethal. They'll leave a mark for sure, though." 

Wolfheim then slowly transformed into his human form as he clutched his midsection, bleeding profusely. 

"You little...." He grunted, "Disgraceful...." 

Jason tipped his hat at him, "Quite a shame indeed, two Wizard Saints proved to be rather weak.." He said

Jura then gave him a serious look, "Quiet down." 

Jura swung his arm at him, sending a massive stone fist straight at Jason. 

"Iron Rock Fist!!!" 

The fist hit Jason, sending him flying to the ground and causing a massive dust explosion. 

Jura panted, feeling nothing but pain from his bullet wound. 

He looked over to Wolfheim who was on his knees.

"Wolfheim-dono!!" He exclaimed, "Are you alright?" 

He ran over to him but Wolfheim gestured him to stop. 

"I'm fine.." He panted, "That little runt's bullets did hurt....but I don't feel my life in danger...." 

From the dust, Jason appeared as he patted his dust and dirt off his coat and shirt. 

"Don't learn do you..." He said, "It appears that-" 

Suddenly, he froze mid-step and began to clutch his throat as his expression was that of a pained one. 

"Ughhh!!" He grunted in pain

Jura widened his eyes, "What..." 

Wolfheim sighed, "To think we'd need his help..." He said, "How pathetic..." 

Jura then turned to see Hyberion, one of the 4 Gods of Ishgar, Rank 2 Wizard Saint, standing over a small hill caused by Jura's magic. He was looking over at Jason as he had his hand pointed at him, his fingers in a hooked gesture. 

"Hyberion-dono!" Jura exclaimed

"Yes." Wolfheim said, "That's his Vampire Magic in play." 

Jason looked over at Hyberion who was looking at him with a serious expression. 

From behind Hyberion, a massive squadron of Magic Council members marched. 

"Worry not, fellow Wizard Saints." Hyberion said, "Reinforcements have arrived." 

Several magic council mages pointed their staves at Jason which glowed brightly with magic power. 

"To think this single man will incur the wrath of the 4 Gods of Ishgar..." Hyberion said, "Quite the terrifying individual." 

Suddenly, Jason's body emitted a quick flash of black light. Hyberion then felt his magic be dispelled, the grasp he had on Jason had been broken. 

"Hm?" he said

Jason then aimed at Hyberion and fan-fired his hand cannon, sending a volley of high caliber rounds at the new arrival. 

Suddenly, the bullets struck a massive rune barrier as they exploded with massive sparks. 

"Hmph." Hyberion said, "The Rune Knights on my side will not allow such impudence." 

Jason rubbed his throat, "Oh Yea?" He said, "I was going to display my newly finished toys a bit more.....but since you lot are here and your magic is gonna be a pain...." 

Jason's arms then glowed with a light black light as the entire are began to shake. 

Hyberion looked around as the ground began to emmit a black and white light. 

Jura also looked at the ground while sweating, "What's this magic power...." 

Wolfheim scowled, "This is not good." 

"Sage God's Battlefield Shift: "

The ground began to shake even more as the light began to flash brightly, engulfing everyone including Jason. 

"Welcome to hell, you fuckers." Jason said

"Smoldering Lake."
