Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 184
What was missing? If it’s so important that she was looking for it, was it guild-related documents? Or group business files?
The words that came out of Ram Hwajeong’s mouth, who had been fumbling for a while with a pale face, was unexpected.
“My crystal ball.”
“Crystal ball? Haha, there are cases where our Hwajeong loses her temper. Unni will buy you one.”
“That…… That’s not it!”
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
Even when Hwayeon came closer, it was no use. Hwajeong shook her sister’s hand and went back and forth in places where the crystal ball could not be found.
“My crystal ball…… my crystal ball!”
Hwayeon, unable to understand why Ram Hwajeong was being like that, could only find her sister’s actions strange. High-quality crystal balls were expensive, but from her point of view it was cheap.
‘She’s my younger sister, but sometimes I can’t understand her.’ She just shrugged her shoulders, wanting to say something like that. Jacheong, who was watching the scene, shook his head and immersed himself from work.
“My crystal baaaaaaall…”
Ram Hwajeong looked through her bag, almost tearing up, but there was no way she would find it. No, at this point, she was barely paying attention.
Who has her crystal ball? It was just painful to know that he had her crystal ball.
“If you go further north, it’s the Shazrasian Federation.”
It may be closer by going through the Minis Kingdom.
However, Luger’s location troubled him. As much as Leeha understood Luger’s location, Luger also knew Leeha’s.
If Luger knew that Leeha entered the Minis Kingdom, Leeha would not know what he should do if he got chased by Luger.
‘I shouldn’t try my luck. It’s a little far but let’s move to the Shazrasian Federation.’
Shazrasian Federation, a cold country in the north. It was a country where there were many snowy mountains and tundra, and there were many giant beast monsters including the yeti. It was also a place that Leeha had never been to before.
‘I have return scrolls, so everything should be fine, but I’m still nervous.’
Leeha quietly went out to the north gate and started walking. The Hummingbird was still in its musket state.
He wanted to change it into the pistol form, but he thought he didn’t have to remodel it with a human blacksmith since he’s going to meet the dwarves anyway.
‘It was a little inconvenient, but he thought that it might be better if it was modified by a dwarf,Leeha looked at the [Black Bass] as he walked towards the border, it was so black that it seemed to suck in the rain, but not to the point that it was empty. The barrel was so black that he thought it was not good for camouflage.
‘The gunpowder plate and hammer are that of a decorative musket . In this state-how! Skill!’
Will its appearance change when you use a skill? Leeha, who was preoccupied with everything, including the ridiculous attack power, realized that he was missing the most important point.
He immediately opened his skill window, a skill that he had not seen before, was created.
It was a skill that was created when equipping the [Black Bass].
[Weapon Transformation – SASR]
Description : Removes the seal of the legendary dwarf. If you can’t handle its power, take your hands off Black Bass!
Condition of use : Achievement-Nex Generation of the Three Musketeers – Bullseye
Effect : Transform into [Black Bass : SASR] Mana : 500 (50 mana per hour after that) Duration: When released, when mana is zero Cooldown : 24 hours
Leeha carefully read. Was it the SASR that he knew?
‘Right…… The effect was correct. SASR stands for Special Applications Sniper Rifle! The highest quality sniper rifle specially made and distributed among sniper rifles! Even, so, is it fair now?!’ What was written in the description? Rifle. Leeha could tell without using the skill.
Because rifle was a word that described all firearms with cut steel wires.
After coming out of Dale Castle’s north gate, Leeha muttered quietly in a place where neither NPC nor user were visible.
“Weapon Transformation, SASR.”
Black energy gathered towards [Black Bass]. In the next moment, what Leeha held in his hand was not a black musket.
The gun, which was supposed to weigh 3kg, suddenly became 4 times heavier.
“……I can’t even curse at Kidd and Luger anymore.”
Who’s the most fraudulent?! I’m in no position to refute from being called that.
The weight was around 12kg. A normal musket weighed around 5kg, and a modern rifle weighed less than 4kg.
[Black Bass] had grown so much that its weight was three times heavier.
The gun felt heavy even with Leeha’s strength.
Still, just in case, Leeha looked at the Black Bass. The black color that seemed to absorb light was still the same. However, the ‘old parts’ such as gunpowder plate were gone.
“It is too much…. This……”
In fact, he recognized it at first glance.
No matter how unified the colors were, there was no way Leeha would not know this gun. But he couldn’t believe it, so he looked carefully, but the more he looked, the more certain he was.
‘TAC 50! Damn, Mk.15, it’s Mark 15!!’
The name given by the manufacturer was TAC50 However, there was a more famous name than what the manufacturer gave.
‘Mk. 15’, the sniper rifle that only the top snipers use in the U.S. Navy.
‘Did they get a license for this? No, the name is different, so does it matter? Damn, they look the same-!’
This is not a musket. Leeha felt his hands trembling.
It was unavoidable. It was different compared to when you pour black powder onto a gunpowder plate.
Wow- haha!
Leeha pulled the ‘bolt’. A part that should never exist in a full-length musket!
Mark 15 is a ‘bolt-action’ type that manually loads and discharges the shell.
There was no magazine and he could only hear the sound by pulling the bolt, but Leha felt all his senses ringing.
‘Really. It’s really bolt-action! Well, there’s a revolver so it won’t be unusual if there’s also a bolt-action.’
But, isn’t this just a simple bolt action? As far as firearms go, sniper rifles in particular, Leeha took pride in his knowledge more than anyone else.
‘The evolution of the musket into the revolver took a century, or if we’re being generous, about two centuries. But this is already modern, it came in the year 2000s! It’s much better than the domestic sniper rifle that I bought and used before!’ Leeha knew not only the famous sniper rifles, but also the unpopular ones.
Not to mention Mk. 15, which was one of the strongest sniper rifles in the world right now. Leeha knew everything about it, from weight to effective range and hit record.
‘Most importantly, the bullets used. It’s not just a personal sniper rifle used by infantry battalions.’
Normal sniper rifles use 7.62mm ammunition.
However, for [Black Bass: SASR], from Leeha’s perspective, this gun which mimics the existing Mk. 15 which exists in the modern time, does not use the ‘flimsy’ 7.62mm bullet.
‘The bullet it uses is the 12.7 x 99mm bullet, meaning, it is 12.77mm caliber. It’s almost twice as thick as a normal sniper bullet.’
Among the sniper rifles that use the same bullets, Leeha knew that there was another very famous rifle from the previous generation.
‘The so-called ‘Anti-target Sniper Rifle’ Barrett M82 uses the same ammunition.’
Leeha knew very well what happens if a person gets shot by it.
Leeha suddenly felt that the weight of the Black Bass he held was getting heavier.
“Did he say that the Bass is called the tyrant of the freshwater and devours everything…?”
Leeha suddenly remembered what Jacheong said. Leeha looked down at the [Black Bass: SASR].
“It must be true.”
And smiled. If there was one thing that he forgot, it was that he didn’t check the item information of the [Black Bass: SASR].
Like that, he walked towards the north. In the forest near the checkpoint visible on the border road, three ratmen caught Leeha’s eyes.
“Let’s try to catch the rats first.”
The distance was about 80m. It was close enough to hear the squeaking of the child-sized ratman. He hid behind a wooden pole and was very vigilant, but he had nothing to worry about.
*Mk.l5, no, it shouldn’t be called that. Anyway, the [Black Bass: SASR] should be able to pierce through a simple wooden pole. That kind of thing doesn’t even bother me anymore.’
The scope Leeha made was attached to the Hummingbird, and the Black Bass did not have any scope, but Leeha did not hesitate. Anyway, a scope at this distance would only interfere.
‘Huu……’
Leeha took a deep breath.
The achievement of being the Next generation of the Three Musketeers, a huge item called Black Bass, and even the ‘transformation’ of the huge item was in his mind.
‘Haa…’
It meant that he couldn’t confirm anything too obvious. Leeha pulled the trigger facing the ratman.
Click-!
The ratmen’s ears pricked up and their bodies twitched! But that was all.
“What? What……?!”
It was unavoidable. Because [Black Bass: SASR] did not have any ammunition.
“Squeak? Squeak?!”
“Sq一 squeak-!”
“Oh-…… hmm……. You won’t forgive me even if I say sorry, right?”
Squeak, squeak!
The ratmen started running towards Leeha with hostility.
“Hey, you’re making me look bad! I’ve got the strongest gun in the world right now-”
Leeha hastily hung the Black Bass on his right shoulder. It was a long gun.It’s length was the same as the Hummingbird’s.
With long guns hanging from both shoulders, it was not possible to reload normally.
“Wait! Wait! Time!”
Squak- Sqeauk-!
Ratmen could form societies, but there was no way for them to communicate with humans.
After seeing the Ratmen getting closer, Leeha had no choice but to hold back his tears.
‘To use Black Bass, I have to deactivate the skill, no, I don’t even have time to load the Hummingbird!’
They were too close. He couldn’t help it now. Leeha hurriedly tied the Hummingbird and held the Black Bass tightly.
At first, he thought he was lucky that no one was around. How embarrassing would it have been for them to see him like that.
“It’s just that, it’s the first time I’m fighting with such a good item!”
Squeaak
“Waaa,get out, get out!! Bayonet Charge!” Leeha cried out in shame rather than fear, but his movement was swift and accurate.
He leaped and pierced the stomach of the ratman who was about to reach him, he looked at the other ratman who was catching up and quickly pulled out the needle gun-pistol and shot.
The pistol was for an emergency situation,so it was always ready. The fired grapeshot bullet dug into the ratman’s lower stomach.
Squeak!
