Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 216

Even in the days of the Rising Sun, Kuma boasted about the majesty of field bosses. But what about now? Even after adding half of Leeha’s level, it was still only level 145.

‘He had to have been hunted by a player.’

Leeha was aware that the Kuma’s level was still 66, both at the time of the Rising Sun and now. Kuma must have passed away already. Because it was said that the Soulmate’s level was fixed at the time of its death.

“Kihihihi, this is fun! Is this the new clown for our circus?!”

“The beast trainer position is already full! Puhu, puhuhuhu!”

As a result, Kuma’s attack would pose little risk to them.

It was a field boss with overwhelming power, but the Midnight Circus clowns’ level was higher than Kuma’s, and the fireball cut through the air and only smashed the fences.

“Damn it!!”

Kuma, as the tank, could kill them one by one with the Black Bass. That was Leeha’s intention, but it was not realized.

The clowns only avoided Kuma’s attack and did not attack the Brown Bear.

“Acrobatic Sneak!”

“Shadow Step!”

Two clowns approached at the same time using their skills.

From the left, the blurry silhouette dazzled the eyes, and on the right, tried to jump over Leeha’s head!

“Get out of here! Almost!”

Taking a step back, Leeha put the Black Bass on his shoulder.

And with two arms crossed over his waist, he pulled out the two pistols from his belt, aimed, and fired!

Bang-!

Leeha knew and experienced the skills already, so he was prepared.

“Cough…”

Grapeshot and iron bullets blocked their movements, and the Black Bass’ bullet quickly hit one of them.

Click.

“Cough!”

The bullet slipped past the clown’s neck, but about one-third of his neck was torn off with that alone.

The clown died with strange laughter. There were now four assassins left.

One of them was hit in the thigh with the iron bullet, stumbled, and fell, and the other three dealt with Kuma.

Kuooong-!

“Run, huhu, run!”

“Run through the fire ring, bear! That way the audience will enjoy the show!” The three clowns tormented Kuma. Dodging its front paw attack, jumping over the fireball, and striking Kuma in its head and back using ultra-short distance movement.

Kuooo, Kuooong-!

Everytime the bear missed, they scratched its flaming hide.

The wounds were shallow, but their weapons were not simply made of iron. It was clear that something was painted on it, so that even Leeha’s eyes could see that the bear’s movements were gradually becoming duller.

“Kuma-ya!”

If the clowns focused on Kuma, then it was worth it. Leeha immediately knelt down on one knee and took his stance.

If he had that much aim stability, he would not miss. No matter how fast they were, he would not miss!

“Hey, you should play with me! Surprise Dance!”

[You lose control of your body for 20 seconds.]

[You are connected to the body of the user ‘Solier.’]

“W-What-”

Before he could pull the trigger, the guy who was hit by the Hummingbird-pistol suddenly jumped up. Even though he wasn’t dead, Leeha thought he would not be able to fight. What was the skill he suddenly used?

“Ahahaha, haha! Is it fun? Is it fun?”

Leeha suddenly felt his body jump up. However, he couldn’t stand back up to pull the trigger.

“Uhu, uhuhuhu, wait and see! Because training wild beasts are one of the things we enjoy!”

“Eeek-”

His body did not move as if he was bound by something.

His mouth barely moved, and his head did not turn. Rather than that, he raised his arms and waved them uncontrollably regardless of his will.

“Are you good at dancing?! Huh? You dance so well!”

“Uhahaha, the Midnight Circus bastards are really vicious.”

“They’re not even evil, they are just crazy.”

They could not see Leeha, but the users around them were bursting with laughter.

Watched the clown, who bled from the hole in his thigh, and Leeha, move in the same motion. Leeha imitated the actions of the Midnight Circus assassin regardless of his will.

“Cheer up, ranged dealer!”

“He did a good job! At first glance, his weapon looks like Luger’s, but he is not as good him.”

20 seconds in battle felt like an eternity. In that eternal moment, where Leeha lost control of his body, the three Midnight Circus assassins ran toward Kuma simultaneously. None of them were tankers, mages, or ranged dealers and they were all masters of close combat, and as a field boss, he had no experience dealing with them.

Kuooh…….

“Kuma-ya!!!”

[Soul Link skill has been canceled.]

[Soulmate’s soul returned.]

“Ah, you bastards-!”

And at the end of 20 seconds, Leeha blew the head of the user who used the Surprise Dance skill. Leeha made a series of movements as fast as lightning until he picked up the Black Bass again, turned around, and fired.

“Wow! Isn’t he good? He hit the assassin’s head while moving like that.”

“Still, it’s 3 on 1, so shouldn’t he run? I don’t think he will be able to summon that bear again……”

The users admired Leeha’s skill, but the situation was still unfavorable. Leeha also felt it. Fortunately, the area was not blocked.

‘Damn it, I need a strategic retreat.’

The moment Leeha sat down, the clowns rushed in. However, Leeha’s words were faster.

“Force Barrier!”

Wang- As soon as the turquoise-colored barrier was created, the assassin’s weapons were blocked with a cling-clang sound.

“Oh?! Shield!”

“He’s a ranged dealer, so his life-preservation is good!”

“Hiha, seeing that you have quite a few skill sets, aren’t you quite smart?”

The clowns approached with a smile, but Leeha was not worried.

The duration of the Force Barried was enough to record the frontier’s location and use a scroll back to Hell Anvil again.

‘You fucking bastards, I will definitely come back and get revenge.’

Leeha saw the clowns and gritted his teeth.

The assassins of the Midnight Circus surrounded Leeha and laughed, scratching the barrier with their weapons.

“Hmmm, hmm, I can’t see the stage properly……”

“Should we break it? Will you break it? Uhihihi!”

“Contact the Ringmaster now!”

Ringmaster, a term used to refer to the stage director of a circus. According to Biyemi, he was the ‘director’ of Midnight Circus.

The strongest NPC surpassed even Petyr and Biyemi/Nguyen.

‘I will retreat like this, but I have to come back to find the dark elves anyway… What if they come again?” If they are mixed with people, they wouldn’tbe detected by mana clairvoyance.

Leeha bit his lips.

“ Hey clowns.”

“Hmm?”

“Huh?”

“Get lost, I need to ask him something.”

Step, step, step.

A man walked through the crowd.

Black top and bottom, black shoes, and black coat.

Seeing the man with long black hair, the eyes of the surrounding users widened.

“Oh, Ohhh-!”

“T-t-t-t-that!”

No, it might be because of his pitch-black long sword. Even the expressions of the clows from Midnight Circus began to harden.

****

‘Oh, a-amazing. Even after a week, it’s only 7%, isn’t it a crazy game?’

The man grunted and checked his character window. Even though he ran wildly, it felt like the road was still a thousand miles long.

‘How the hell did that bastard climb so fast? I can’t chase after those monsters, so I won’t.’

Where the man was standing, an army of monsters ran from the small hill.

They had armors and weapons that looked better than the manmade ones, some even had shields, but they were not for humans.

The cursed undead legion that went beyond skeletons were the guardians of the cursed land, born through the magic of the field boss, Lich Bane!

“Even though I drove them all- One, two, three, four-……. Roughly two hundred? Well. One hundred and fifty would be enough to pay for a meal.”

The man smacked his lips as he looked at the two hundred undead guardians running toward him. There was no impatience on him.

Much less tension, black streaks started to gather in his body.

“Lightning Hurricane.”

Hwiiii-.

The air current danced in front of the man.

A whirlwind of sparks bounced in the air as if static electricity was being squeezed. However, it was not enough to stop a large army of more than two hundred undeads. The man quickly finished casting consetively.

“Giga Spark!”

He again added lightning magic to the whirlwind heading toward the undead guardians.

The two huge lightning magic collided, and a loud sound was created.

The moment the air current that could not handle the swelling mana disappeared, the lightning trapped in the tornado flew through the armor of the entire undead army- bzzt bzzt bzzt.

“Kkiii-”

“Kiik- Kiii-”

Did he believe that they would stick together, or did he believe they would move ? At least, it was not a skill that was used after hunting such a large army once or twice.

A black sword was already in the man’s hand when the undead guardians were paralyzed and made crackling and grinding noises.

“Sol Blaze.’’

The moment the light like the sun appeared from the sword that seemed to absorb even light, the man’s body shot like an arrow.

His movement caught the eye more than the black sword that emitted the light of the sun or the whirlwind mixed with lightning.

It was the natural connection between Swinging, cutting, stabbing, and kicking.

It felt like he was moving a part of his body rather than wielding a sword.

For those who didn’t know martial arts, it could be seen as a sword dance, and the natural beat and harmony were in sync for about 15 minutes.

It was also exactly the time it took for all two hundred undead guardians to return to dust.

“Ahh, this isn’t enough! Oh man. There isn’t even a slight difference in experience. When the hell is the Lich Bane chick coming out? Shouldn’t it be between today and tomorrow?”

The man complained even though he had caught two hundred level 200 undead guardians in 15 minutes.

“Blink, blink, blink!”

Seuk, seuk, seuk-.

He roamed the entire hunting ground using a short-distance space movement, but the field boss the man wanted doing not appear.

“Ugh, this is annoying. The information I got was wrong, and the sundries piled up. Oh, today is not my day. I need to sell this.”

The man left his regrets behind and used a return scroll. He didn’t forget to put on his hood.
