500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"Okay, let's get to firing this thing!" I cheered, pretty excited to see what this cannon could do.

"What is this thing?" Breya asked as she walked over to the end of the barrel, sticking her head inside.

"Don't do that, Breya! Get your damn head out of there!" I growled, walking over to pull the Angels head out of the tube.

She looked at me with a cute smile as I pulled her head back from the barrel that was pointed east while I was doing an inspection.

"You aren't shooting it yet, so it should be fine to look, right? Are you shooting something out of this long tube? Do you stuff things in here?" Breya asked curiously, taking my hand in both hers.

"I am just trying to look it over to make sure it doesn't blow up in my face when I go to fire it. I have ammunition for it that I will load from the other end. Since I don't seem to know everything about the firing mechanisms, we are going to need a mage to activate the firing circle. I am not going to try to explain what needs to happen because you would never understand," I explained, and Breya nodded.

"That is a good idea. You can do better things with that mouth than blowing hot air!" Breya giggled and then leaned in for a kiss.

I leaned in and pressed my lips to Breya's, her kiss tasting like sweet candy, and then she pulled back and let go of my hand. Breya stepped back and put her arms behind her back as she waited.

I smiled and turned back to the cannon, walking around to the back of it to grab a crank that I started to spin. This lifted the barrel up and high enough to clear the parapet, then I kicked a latch on the ground and gave the turret a slow spin. There was a clicking noise from the latch below, but the large thing moved fairly well.

"So, you are going to hit the rock man that is way over there?" Breya said, pointing south to said golem.

"Yes, well, maybe. The bullet will fly that far, but this is the first shot of something I personally, in this life, have never used before. I am just hoping that it doesn't blow up in my face at this point," I chuckled as I opened the loading chamber.

"Should I stand back?" Breya asked as I reached down to grab a heavy, almost two-foot-long 125mm shell off the ground taking it over to the gun.

"I would probably fly off to the side about at least a hundred feet away, maybe two hundred," I explained as I carefully loaded the shell in.

I wasn't one hundred percent on how the tips worked, but I was pretty sure that I got them right. If anything, I could have gone with a more concentrated version of the TNT, but this was fine for the test.

I slapped the cap over the back of the cannon and latched it into place. Once I was done, I turned to Breya, who was walking over to me.

"You should probably get out of here," I said, but Breya ran her finger down the bridge of my nose, pushing on the end.

"I am your Guardian Angel, so if there is a chance you might get hurt, I will be here to block it. Remember, I have a special ability that allows me to instantly block incoming damage for you if you are in danger. There is no point trying to get away if I am just going to be pulled back to you, right?" Breya explained as her finger slipped off my nose so she could press her hand to the side of my face and kiss me.

"You make a good point, but I didn't think that you were linked to me," I said.

"I am not, at least in the magical sense. I just care about you a lot, so I naturally will protect you. You can't get rid of me now; we have been through too much already," Breya said, resting her head on my chest.

p I wrapped my arms around my Angel and kissed the top of her head before turning to my target. I had put a targeting system on the cannon, but I used my eyes to line this shot up.

I didn't have time to train people to line the shots up, but they would have a big target to hit. I also planned to get all of the guns pointing in the right direction.

My job would be to keep it in one spot and go for the killing strike when I could. There were three hearts, but nothing short of destroying all three would take a fully fleshed-out Riftwalker.

"Cover your ears!" I said, and I used magic to put some dirt in my own ears.

Once Breya had her finger in her ears, I turned to the cannon and placed my hand on the steel plate. It had a magic circle inscribed into it, and all it needed was for me to feed it some magic, which I did.

"Fire in the hole!"

*BOOM!*

The cannon fired, and the tube recoiled back, but everything stayed in one piece, which was a positive sign. I turned to look at the golem, but the bullet had just missed, but it had blown a large hole in the ground behind it.

"Holy cow! That thing made my boobs jiggle! And look at the hole in the ground that it left! I don't know if even a Goddess could stop that!" Breya exclaimed, and I was already adjusting the angle.

"It works the way it is supposed to, and I am building it to kill something stronger than a Goddess. A large-scale magic spell could do more damage, but there isn't a spell that can produce the same effect as this. Not without using something like a super concentrated ball of light magic, but then you wouldn't be able to throw it. This is the type of thing that could shoot right through this wall in two to three shots," I explained, and Breya nodded.

"Always good to be on your side," Breya said with a giggle as I went to load the next shot.
