《Quicksword Bob》Chapter 23 - Judgement
Advertisement
John who was busy fighting the large man with the pistol heard numerous gunshots. His heart dropped
"Bob!"
John yelled out.
With that many shots fired, there was no way for Bob to escape unharmed.
"Calm down. I'm not dead."
Bob replied back to John nonchalantly.
When the bullets were fired, he quickly activated Judgement. While Judgement was activated he was immune to all damage and status effects for 3 seconds.
Those bullets, Bob didn't feel a thing.
Seeing how Bob was unharmed, One-eyed Fred had his mouth wide open. It was impossible for Bob to survive.
Did he have some devil fruit that made him immune to damage?
If that was the case, Bob was basically immortal.
Bob took a quick look around the room, Ron was fighting the girl and it seemed like he was barely holding on. As for John, he seemed to be doing alright facing the large man with the pistol.
The 5 aspiring bounty hunters were holding their own against the no named pirates. The only thing was they were being bruised. Bob had to give it to them, with just two weeks of training they were already able to take out 10 lowly pirates by themselves.
Was it talent or was it do to John's teachings?
Bob quickly used Grand Blessing on Dick who had cuts all over his body. Because he was a bruiser-tank type he was absorbing a lot of damage.
Dick who was fighting seemed to regain all his energy under the effects of Grand Blessing. His speed even went up, causing him to dodge attacks easier.
Bob refocused his attention on One-eyed Fred and his deputy who was by his side. There was still all the other pirates with guns pointed at him.
The effect of Judgement would end in one second and he wouldn't be immune anymore.

All his skills were on a cooldown as well, Spellblade had 10 seconds left and Radiant Illusion had 7 seconds left.
Bob thought about Yasuo from League of Legends, if he had his infinite dash skill it'd make things a lot easier.
Bob made a quick note to himself that he should quickly pick up that item from the store next. Before he leaves Vile Island, he'll buy it!
He wasn't having a hard time dealing with these pirates, but that was only because they underestimated him. Stonehand Brian thought he could overpower Bob with his devil fruit and pure strength. He did not take the time to analyze Bob nor Bob's skills. If he did he might have gotten an advantage of Bob.
Stonehand Brian didn't have a bad devil fruit, it was just the way he used it.
Bob assumed if his damage wasn't high enough then he couldn't break through his opponents defense.
He wondered if there would ever be a way to see his opponents stats like in other games.
Bob stopped his thought and darted at One-eyed Fred who was still seated for some reason. He had the tip of Black Death pointed straight at One-eyed Fred.
Bob's speed without the use of Grand Blessing wasn't extraordinary, but it was still faster than an average persons.
"You think i'm weak just because I haven't moved yet!? Think again!"
One-eyed Fred reached by his waist and quickly drew his pistol. As long as he pulled the trigger before Bob reached him, he'd be the winner.
Bob saw One-eyed Fred reaching for his pistol and put more power in his legs. His speed increased slightly, but that was more than enough.
Bob did a swift movement with his sword disarming One-eyed Fred. After which, Bob swung his blade across the chest of the deputy next to One-eyed Fred.

Bob had no clue why this guy never moved, but it was his own fault. He either was slow, or had too much faith in his captain.
Bob stood in front of One-eyed Fred and had the tip of his sword to One-eyed Fred's throat.
The pirates already reloaded their guns and had it aimed at Bob.
"Who do you think will be faster. Me with my blade, or them with their guns?"
One-eyed Fred stared at Bob, his heart started to beat. He was not going down without a fight, he just needed something.
Bob watched One-eyed Fred complipate something. It didn't matter to Bob, in a few seconds he'd be able to use two of his skills again.
One-eyed Fred started to laugh.
"Fire! Fire!"
He commanded the pirates in there to start shooting.
Even if he died, he was going to take Bob down with him.
"Fool!"
Bob said as he slashed One-eyed Fred's throat.
His sword was quick, One-eyed Fred had no time to react at all. Bob quickly moved away, and bullets started flying.
He managed to dodge by rolling on the ground, as he got up he activated Spellblade and started swinging his blade.
The pirates with guns started dropping like flies.
Once they were taken care of, Bob overlooked the others fights.
John was sweating hard as he dealt the finishing blow to his opponent, causing the large man to fall to the ground.
The 5 aspiring bounty hunters were all huffing and puffing after their fight. They stood strong and fought together. It was 5 against many, but they overcame it.
Each one of them had cuts and bruises all over their body, which Bob would take care of once his skill was off cooldown.
As for Ron he was still clashing with the woman.
She was a devil fruit user just like Ron, but she was able to turn her body into parts of an owl.
Bob figured from how owls worked, she'd rather fight at night time when she'd have superior vision against her prey. Yet she was still pushing Ron back.
Bob looked over and John.
"Who do you think will win this?"
"Hard to say. Kid's not using his gun, using those daggers instead. He's not used to them, but for his first time i'm impressed that he's held on this far."
Bob nodded his head as he threw a Grand Blessing on to Ron, rejuvenating him and healing his wounds.
Grand Blessing seemed to work well on minor damage, but it still needed to be tested on other type.
Bob looked at Stonehead Brian who was still bleeding out.
'Perfect!'
Bob found himself a person to experiment on, as for the 5 aspiring bounty hunters and John, they could wait.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
