Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 237
Magicians and healers who had their abilities sealed gathered. And a young man in gleaming armor dashed towards them, terrified.
“Uhaha, I won’t let you cast! Let’s gooooo, shield charging!”
Kijeong raised his shield and charged toward the retreating magicians and healers. In one shot, a human bowling bowl knocked down ten pins!
Baang!
The’injured’ elites who had been attacked with skills and explosions were unable to withstand the surprise attack. Even though their HP had barely recovered, their mana was still insufficient.
“Whisper quickly!!!”
“F-F-Flare! Light up the flares! Call the-”
“No way, no way.”
Leeha didn’t even need to pull out the Black Bass at that close range.
Both the Hummingbird and Needlegun pistols emitted white smoke. In comparison to the gunshot sound made by the Black Bass, their banging sound was adorable.
Of course, the Minis users, whose stomachs were being pierced by bullets, would not think so.
In just 10 minutes, Platoon 54321 successfully drove away a significant number of the Minis troops on the hill.
“Kijeong, what’s the damage to our side?”
“Zero deaths, 1 minor injury. We barely did anything and we are still going to get benefits-”
[The Fibiel army is occupying the high ground 130.]
[Occupying progress 1.6%]
[You have to block this point for 1 hour.]
“Hmm? What is this?”
“Ara. Does hyung see it too?”
Not only Byeolcho, but also the Minis army, who barely survived and ran, stared into the air. Leeha saw it as well.
“Based on their reaction…… does this mean that notification popped up for everyone else nearby as well?”
The long notification line below the high ground began to gradually become quiet. Because the Minis’ army, who had to stop the Fibiel’s army, began to turn around.
In other words, it meant that they had started climbing back again toward their original supply point where Leeha was now located.
“Oh……”
“As expected, it couldn’t be this easy.”
The war for the higher ground had only just begun.
“Push! Push, push!”
“Tankers, raise your shields! Make a line for the dealers!”
“Damn those Fibiel bastards!”
For users who fought with the combat assistance system turned on, PvP felt like turn-based fighting. They inflicted and received damage while waiting for skill cooldowns. Healers understood the cries and situations of their party members, restored them at the right time, and applied buffs.
They used skills, however, unless the enemy died in one hit, it became a battle of MP and using combo skills at the right time.
Until someone makes a mistake or runs out of stamina.
In other words, in order for a frontline to collapse, someone with overwhelming ability must participate.
However, if it was a large-scale war with more than 10,000 people, the effect of that ‘someone’ would be quite large. Therefore, it was only natural that the frontlines of the Fibiel-Minis army under hill 130 be stretched and maintained to a certain extent.
[Fibiel Army is occupying Hill 130.]
[Occupation Progress 1.6%]
[Retake the hill within 1 hour.]
“Hmm?”
“What?”
“Occupation?”
The frontline, constantly making noises from the swords and shields, went into a moment of silence. Fibiel and Minis users looked into the air.
Because of the content of the notification window in front of them.
Of course, the lull only lasted for a few seconds.
A few quick-witted Minis users looked at the top of the hill. The treatment station was torn down, and they saw their allies running from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill.
“T-the hill was captured! Those bastards bypassed us!”
“What happened to Shin? Didn’t he say that they would be able to block the tankers if the rock magician was around?! What was the initial operational order?”
“How would I know?! Take them all out first! All Minis soldiers, go up! Quickly!!”
Confusion arose from Minis’ frontlines. Looking at the notification pop-up window, Fibiel users also noticed their reactions.
“Who? Is it from the army?”
“T-that’s right! It’s even one from our division! Platoon 54321! Speaking of- oh, the 4th regiment 3rd battalion 2nd company……1st platoon?! T-there’s only one platoon in there!”
In the midst of this emergency, the Fibiel users opened their maps and checked the troops.
The unit would have been four digits if medium to large went up. If it’s 5 units, that meant that there was only one platoon!
Was it true that only one platoon of 30 to 40 people managed to get through Shin? Their literal ‘suicide attack’ succeeded?!
“There’s no time to be surprised! T-These Minis bastards shouldn’t have been allowed to climb! We have to hold them down!”
“We need to keep them busy for 1 hour and then it’s our victory! Push—!!! No, grab them!!!”
With Fibiel attacking and Minis defending below the hill until recently, the roles have been reversed. Now Minis is the one attacking and Fibiel is trying to hold them off.
And Leeha, Kijeong, and the others on the hill were looking at the mess.
“T-they’re coming, they’re coming, guild master-nim!”
“How are your skills? Can you use your skills?
This feels completely different from normal guild battles-”
With just what they saw at the moment, there were 20,000 people including their allies. How many would it be if the ones who hadn’t turned back yet were included?
No one could not be intimidated by this overwhelming sea of humans in front of them.
“Don’t doze off! Don’t turn on the combat assistance system just because you’re scared! Let’s do what we practiced, do everything that we practiced. If it gets too dangerous, everyone will get behind me and hide! I will stop 2,000 people.”
However, Kijeong was indeed the guild master of Byeolcho. Everyone had calmed down a bit from his words.
“Kiskis, it doesn’t matter if it’s Kay-nim, 2,000 is just too much.”
“That’s right. It is a strength as well as weakness of his.”
Of course, Biyemi and Tale, who were different from the regular guild members, laughed.
“Don’t laugh! Please prepare instead! Leeha hyung! Hyung-”
Baaaaaang—!
“-Kuaah!”
Kijeong, looking through the guild members, turned his head, stepped back in surprise. It was as if he heard gunshots next to his ear.
“Hey! Why did you suddenly turned around? You almost got hit!”
“You should at least tell us before shooting, Hyung! I almost died…”
Leeha had already been prepared. The back of the hill that Leeha, Kijeong and their party climbed was steep and short. The slope of the front of the hill was low and gradual, so the distance was rather long. It would take some time to go up. It was a fortune among misfortunes.
“Everyone get ready for the next attack! If we scatter, we’ll die, gather around and protect each other’s back!
Our allies will attack them from behind but they won’t be able to stop them all”
That was certain. Although they were attacking from behind, those who were already behind the existing frontlines could climb up without any obstruction. And their number alone exceeded 1,000.
“Hyung? Are you okay with melee combat?”
“It’s something I want to avoid as much as possible-”
Tackak, talkak. Baaang-!
“-but let’s try our best.”
Another body fell. At this close range, he could fire with a musket, however, Leeha did not release the Black Bass’ transformation.
What he wanted to do is to show the horror of the bullets of the sniper rifle splitting humans. Only through fear could he slow down the enemies .
“Phew, okay. This time, it’s my turn.”
“What?”
“Last time, hyung saved me. This time, I’m going to-”
Click, Leeha pulled the bold again.
He didn’t even need to aim for the head. He just needed to aim and pull the trigger in order to shoot. As soon as the trigger was pulled, bang, Leeha and Kijeong separated.
“——.”
“Huh? What? I couldn’t hear you!”
“No! Nothing! Do your best, hyung. We will do our own thing.”
After Kijeong spoke, he gathered the members of the Byeolcho guild.
Thirty combatants protected each other in a small circle. The black muzzle protruded through the gaps and shot nonstop.
No matter how long the hill was, it was only 300m away.
Uwaaak-! Kill them! Kill those bastards!!
Cast magic first!
Okay, prepare to dash!
The Minis users were so close that Leeha could hear their yelling.
“I won’t just watch you finish casting.”
Baaang, the arm of the magician where red particles gathered was torn and flew. He died instantly without feeling any pain, which was fortunate for him. They stopped and blocked like that about 15 times.
Leeha inserted his fourth magazine.
“Give me my contribution points, you Fibiel bastards!!”
Finally, the Minis army was starting to get close.
[The Fibiel army is occupying the high ground 130.]
[Occupation progress 5%]
[You have to block this point for 57 minutes.]
He couldn’t count the number of Minis users coming their way. Enemy forces were lined up from one end to the other, narrowing the distance between them. Even if they could block this one wave, what about the next? And the next one?
“Byeolcho, prepare for an all-out battle! Team formation A!”
Only after about 3 minutes, did Minis’ first sword soar into the sky.
“The battle begins!”
Claaaang-!
Kijeong raised his shield and blocked someone’s sword while raising his voice. All buffs and skills were ready. The bloody battle on the high ground began.
These were definitely the elites that Kijeong had chosen.
Although they were frightened at the unimaginable number of enemy forces for a moment, they marched forward while performing what they had practiced.
Their dealer’s attacked the enemy’s combat assistance system decisions, and the tankers intercepted the enemies’ attacks before they could hit them.
There was no disturbance in the formation with their skillful movements. Intoxicated with fighting spirit, resolve and fear, they naturally bridged the gap between offense and defense.
The crashing sound of cold weapons spread over the high ground of 130, but it was so crowded that it was impossible to use range magic, so Leeha had time to analyze the situation.
“Critical Sh- Kaaa-！”
He broke their bow and the bullet pierced into the enemy’s shoulder.
The magician raised his wand to cast an aura bolt, but the hand holding the wand was blown off.
The bullet penetrated the shoulder of the knight standing behind the magician, bringing a one-shot, two-kill effect.
Leeha literally ‘blocked’ all the sources of long-ranged attacks, even spoken swear words towards the Minis troops.
“T-that, they’re using magic or something! Who is hell is it! WHERE ARE THEY!!”
“Everytime I here a shot, someone dies!”
“Is is sleeping Kidd? Isn’t he a musketeer?”
“No! There! That guy on his knees on the floor is shooting with something-”
Baaaang-!
And Leeha was pretty clever. To the point where he dealt with those who were able to find his position.
The joint formation of Byeolcho naturally showed its strength, ranged damage dealers were sealed off and the melee damage dealers could not get close.
Leeha and Byeolcho could feel the virtuous cycle of a perfect combat unit.
“Why are you having a hard time with just 30 people! How many magicians are there! Just cast your damn magic!!”
“You just keep saying that! But no one is able to cast their magic!”
How could they use magic when they die before they can finish casting? If they were not strong enough to come up from the bottom of the hill while moving and casting it immediately, no one would be able to cast in front of Leeha.
No matter what color of particles entered their body, Leeha’s bullet will also follow.
“Then come behind me and cast! I will block it! ‘Strengthen and defend’!”
The knight silently casted. Blue columns surrounded the large square tower shield. In terms of the shield’s strength, alone it was a figure that even exceeded Kijeong’s.
“Ohh-! It’s Garem!”
“It’s the tanker Garem! All magicians, get behind him! Dealers as well! Go, go!”
The magicians rushed behind him.
“Just try me! Fuck, who is it? Is it Kidd or Luger?” One shot! ‘Life Force,’ ‘Protective Energy’!”
They were once again covered with blue and green light.
