Dozens of mercury-core hollow-point bullets burst open simultaneously, and the solid mercury inside the bullet heads rapidly melted. The mercury mist spread like a smoke screen, seemingly forming a silvery-white barrier between the Shadow Wall Layer where Minamoto Wakasei and the others were located and the ghouls infesting the elevator shaft.
This colorless and odorless metal was a deadly toxin to the ghouls. The ghouls whose eyeballs and respiratory tracts were eroded by the mercury quickly lost their mobility, and their stagnant figures blocked more ghouls behind them.
The horde of ghouls in the elevator shaft engaged in a tug-of-war with Minamoto Wakasei. They surged upward rapidly, only to be struck down by the mercury bullets. Yet these monsters acted as though they had been pumped full of adrenaline by that huge roar just now, pushing forward wave after wave, utterly devoid of fear of death.
