The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War

「——!」

「……What will you do now?」

「Stop it! That’s a foul! You’re supposed to be fighting me, aren’t you?!」

「Yes, that’s precisely why… if I fire this at them, you, being the oh-so kind and gallant warrior that you are, will not be able to abandon them and thus take a risk to stop the bullet. As a result, you will bite the bullet for them, correct? Do you see how much faster I can hit you this way? I am not being a coward, it is merely the optimal option to take.」

「Kgh……!」

What’s my best move then? Before she could think, Ian made his move.

The muzzle roared so hard that it quivered, and the light bullet that was converging on its tip was several times larger than usual. It seems like that arm can also be used to build up strength and increase its firepower.

「Now… At this rate, Pullum and the extra will be in huge trouble, go and save them, please?」

Ian smiled, unleashing the light bullet toward Pullum and Luwin. Leone had already dashed out to intercept the bullet in its trajectory.
