[ You have entered the 62nd island. ]
Tang! Tang! Tang! Tang!
The mont the scenery changed—
The mont Alan's darkened vision was restored and the notification window appeared—
Four jade-colored bullets shot toward him.
It was a surprise attack.
The guardian of the 62nd island—
Demon Slayer Alex.
Infact the epeed of bullet was so fast that Alan first saw the bullet just few ters away from him, it was an surprise attack that was sure to hit.
Alex's attack speed was 0.25 seconds.
That ant he could fire four bullets per second.
Four attacks—every second.
It was nearly impossible for an ordinary player to react to such a sudden assault.
After all—
Among all weapons, guns possessed the highest accuracy—and unmatched attack speed.
But Alan was no ordinary player.
He possessed three legendary classes, all battle-oriented. Two of them granted him special sensory stats—Magic Sensitivity and Hypersensitivity.
"Reversal of Light."
In an instant, Alan activated the skill.
A radiant barrier ford before him, intercepting the incoming bullets.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The four jade bullets struck the light screen—then reversed direction.
They shot back toward Alex with their full original power—
Enhanced by an additional 20% holy damage.
The attacks struck Alex, dealing damage as Alan instantly closed the distance between them.
Death Knights—
Their reasoning might be gone, but their combat skills from life remained perfectly preserved.
Alex was no exception.
The mont Alan stepped into close range, Alex transford his magic engineering gun into a sword and countered imdiately.
Chaeeeeeng!
"…!"
Alan swung his blade and blocked the attack, but his eyes widened slightly.
'Why is his speed so fast?'
At first, Alan thought it was just a property of the weapon or a skill—after all, Alex had fired four shots per second.
But now—
Alex was swinging his sword at the sa speed.
Four tis per second.
And it wasn't even a skill.
Just… basic attacks.
'That's impossible…'
Normally, players and NPCs had a base attack speed of 1—one attack per second. Even with weapon bonuses, there were limits.
But this—
0.25 seconds per attack.
That ant Alex's agility had to be at least 8,000.
'No… that doesn't make sense.'
Even Lantier, whose main stat was agility, didn't have this much.
'Is the lack of agility being compensated by the gun?'
Due to the nature of the weapon, guns often had multiple options that increased attack speed. However, it was a different story for swords. It was highly likely that such attack speed bonuses wouldn't apply when the magic engineering gun transford into a sword.
Then—
Alex must possess a passive skill or unique attribute that allowed him to swing a sword four tis per second.
'Like assassins or swordsn… does a Demon Slayer have a passive that boosts attack speed?'
For example, assassins naturally had high attack speed due to their class traits and passive skills. On top of that, they heavily invested in agility, making them the fastest attackers among all classes. So top-tier assassins could strike two tis per second—and occasionally even three.
But Alex—
'His attack power isn't low either!'
Jeeong!
The clash rang out sharply.
It wasn't just speed.
Most assassins compensated for their low strength with active skills, dealing massive damage only when those skills were used.
But Alex—
Jjeong!
Jjeeeong!!
Every single basic attack he unleashed carried trendous power.
Each strike was as strong as a skilled swordsman—
Yet delivered at the speed of an assassin.
He had both.
Attack speed—
And attack power.
Alan clicked his tongue.
"Che…"
"I thought Lantier was troubleso, but you're even worse," Alan said.
Again and again, whenever he tried to activate a skill—
Alex's blade would interrupt him with relentless, lightning-fast strikes.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The pressure didn't let up for even a second.
"I need to find an opening…"
Alan muttered as he continued to fight, his eyes tracking every movent.
Then—
"Divine Lion's Roar."
A shockwave burst out from Alan.
The sound itself carried power, striking directly at Alex's core.
For the first ti—
Alex's movents halted.
[ Alex has been stunned for 3 seconds. ]
Alan's eyes sharpened.
"Now—"
"100,000 Army Blockade Sword."
A heavy slash crashed down.
Boom!!
[ Alex has been bound for 8 seconds. ]
Chains of force wrapped around Alex's body, locking him in place.
Alan didn't hesitate.
"This is over."
"200,000 Army Massacre Sword."
His aura surged violently as he followed up with a chain of linked skills.
"Linked kill—Wave."
"Pinnacle."
A devastating combination descended.
BOOOOOOM!!
The ground shattered under the impact.
Unlike Lantier, whose assassin nature made him fragile—
Alex endured.
His health pool was far greater.
Even under the barrage, his body didn't break imdiately.
Alan's eyes narrowed slightly.
'As expected…'
Pagma's swordsmanship might be slower compared to Madra's explosive style—
But it carried overwhelming attack power.
Each strike was heavy.
Decisive.
And layered with additional effects.
Debuffs.
Penetration.
Destruction.
One clean hit—
It was enough to change the tide.
Crack—
Alex's body finally began to give way under the accumulated damage.
Alan exhaled slowly, his eyes cold and focused.
"…100,000 Army Mortality Sword."
His blade descended.
A single, absolute strike.
BOOM—
The attack tore through Alex, shattering what remained of his body.
The Death Knight couldn't withstand it any longer.
He collapsed—
And was completely destroyed.
[Death Knight Alex has been defeated!]
[You have succeeded in beating the 62nd island!]
[Alex's Magic Engineering Bayonet (Produced by Pagma) has been acquired!]
[Alex's Quick Gloves (Produced by Pagma) have been acquired!]
[ You have Acquired Alex's Soul Essence ]
[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]
Alan nodded and placed everything into his inventory.
"That was difficult… now let's see—was it his passive skill, or Pagma's equipnt?"
He muttered as he inspected the drops.
Then—
[ Alex's Quick Gloves (Produced by Pagma) ]

Normal attack speed is increased by three tis.
Gloves crafted by the legendary blacksmith and Baal's Contractor, Pagma.

"just as I thought" Alan nodded seeing this.
