Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 280

‘If it’s a colored dragon, it would be called a chromatic dragon. The setting…… how did it get caught?’

 Dragons have strong bodies, adept at magic, and have formidable breath. Their lifespan is long, their intelligence and knowledge are overwhelming, and they could converse with humans. Therefore, they were difficult to attack. There were two types of dragons, metal dragons, and chromatic dragons.

This was the dragon’s setting that Leeha roughly knew. It was not even recorded on the website that it was divided.

Only those who have found related materials within Middle Earth would be able to fully understand what is being said.

-His disappearance of Mana could not be seen as a disappearance or an accident. . Additionally, there is no way that a red dragon with that kind of power would be hunted down by humans. Then there’s only one left. When I heard the Bluebeard was away, I was more convinced.

‘If the gold dragon calls it an old rival, it means that it’s as strong as him. Surely a few users would not have been able to gather and raid it.’

The gold dragon must have searched thoroughly because it was its old rival.

And it’s not like he was just running around looking for something that’s gone, worrying about it. Leeha waited for the gold dragon to speak for his reason.

-The red dragon Kuzgunak’shi will probably try to revive [Tiamat]. The queen of the chromatic dragon sympathized with the Devil, and if she revives, there wouldn’t even be ashes left of humans. Find Kuzgunak’sh to save yourself. And bring me the information. If this leaks out, his behavior will become even more unpredictable, so it should be kept very secret.

‘Tiamat? I think I heard it somewhere.’

As Leeha tilted his head, Bailephus’ head spun. The gold dragon clearly remembered whoever had wounded him.

-Luger’s companion- no……. What is your name?

‘Oh? Ohh? Me? No, he won’t hear me like this.’

Leeha started in surprise.

The gold dragon’s eye looked at Leeha with a calm look. Leeha tried to talk to Bailephus in a hurry as if whispering into its ear.

-Ha- Ha Leeha. It’s Ha Leeha.

-Ha Leeha……. I will remember your name, together with Luger and Lee Jiwon. For the sake of the order of the continent, your power must be fully preserved. You must find Kuzgunak’shi and stop Tiamat from reviving. I hope you don’t even dare dream of seeing her six heads together again.

The gold dragon’s body shone. And the light leaked out and headed toward the three of them.

The users around them looked nervous. Before the battle began, Bailephus had said that he would not keep those who wounded him alive. In other words, it looked like the gold dragon casted a magic to kill and tear the three of them.

[The gold dragon Bailephus has cast a spell on you.]

[Continious buff – Bailephus’ Blessing]

‘Hut…’

Leeha too blinked for a moment as he saw the light approach him, but was relieved by seeing the explanation window that immediately appeared.

[Bailephus’ Blessing]

Description: The gold dragon clan wants to build a lasting relationship with those they acknowledge. The gold dragon’s mana will always surround you.

Effect: Immediate contact with Gold Dragon +15% fire resistance

Intimacy with Metal Dragons +50%, Intimacy with Chromatic Dragons -80%

‘Oh……?’

Blessing? Besides, the effect is great. Aside from the intimacy with dragons, there was also +15% fire resistance! Most importantly, the fact that it is buff magic and had no duration attracted Leeha’s attention.

‘Like the expression that it is always wrapped around, will it last indefinitely?’

Leeha opened his eyes and looked at Lee Jiwon and Luger. However, it was the same for the two of them who could not understand the situation. It was because both Luger and Lee Jiwon were looking at Alexander with their eyes opened wider than Leeha’s.

Leeha knew that he got it because of the current war, but what about the other two? They were looking for a chance to kill Alexander. Does that mean he gave the blessing to such people as well?

‘Whether to say that the distribution is large or that this case is that important.’

Anyway, there was no reason for Leeha to feel bad about it.

-Thank you, gold dragon.

Leeha and Lee Jiwon both bowed their heads. Luger stared at Bailephus with his head upright.

[I have to leave, Alexander.]

“Hmmm.”

The gold dragon flew up. [Don’t forget, humans!]

The number one in the rankings, the Dragon Knight, has left behind the normal users who were still buzzing about the issue of contributions, and the elites who were confused while listening to Bailephus’ words in their heads.

The moment Alexander left and the commanders of each country turned their backs after exchanging glances with each other, the place was quickly cleared up. There was even a message stating that the contribution was taken care of, and the reward would be announced later, because users did not have to stay connected.

“Let’s go pick up some items~”

“There may still be some left, but I will only take 3 people~ it’s first come, first serve!”

Some people shouted out for items that might remain in the battlefield, but there weren’t many who went along with it. Most of them started to disperse using return magic, and some just logged out on the spot.

“Uuuuuugh, I’m tired. The war is over, but I feel a bit sad.”

“I know, right? Bluebeard, Count Le, t-that Dragon Nugget. I can’t remember its name.”

Leeha scratched his head at Kijeong’s words. The end is the end, but they felt that it wasn’t really the end.

“Kiskis, Kuzgunak’shi. Among the chromatic dragons, he is the most ferocious of the red dragon clan. Baileypus said he’d remember your name, but how can you forget that, Halihali-nim.”

“I-I didn’t! I just wasn’t able to think of it for a second. By the way Biyemi-nim, do you know the settings of those dragons?” 

Looking at the Lizardia showing his teeth, Leeha asked. Among the users that Leeha knew, Biyemi is the one who was most familiar with the Middle Earth universe. And Biyemi lived up to Leeha’s expectations.

“Well……. I learned about it when I was in Midnight Circus.”

“Really?”

“I had a quest to steal a dragon’s egg once, but I refused. No matter how crazy I am, I could not do that.”

“Then that- Metal? Chromatic? What is their difference?”

“Something similar to the relationship of Fibiel and Minis? Kikis. There are both dragons, but they are hostile to each other. Not for the country, but their own disposition.”

“Disposition…”

Biyemi told a brief lecture.

Metal dragons defend good and enforce justice.

Like the word ‘Metal’ suggests, they are divided into minerals such as gold, silver, and bronze, and their absolute is a platinum dragon.

His name is Bahamut.

“Kikis, the chromatic dragons are exactly the opposite. They are greedy dragons that only move for their self-interest. They are dragons with evil natures, and they are distinguished by the name of the chromatic system, just like the white dragon that users raid. It is said that they were on the side of the Demon King’s army during the second Human-Demon war.”

“Hoe…”

“And their absolute is Tiamat. A six-headed dragon. All I know is that 6 kinds of color dragons merged and share one body. Even the head of the Midnight Circus doesn’t know more than that. It is said that Tiamat did not appear in the second Human-Demon war. Because Bahamut and the Metal Dragons stood on the side of humanity, they were able to drive out the Fragment of the Demon King and the chromatic dragons…. Kikis, that is what I was told.”

“It seems the head of the Midnight Circus also participated in the second Human-Demon war.”

Biyemi nodded at Tale’s words Biyemi’s short lecture was heard by all of the Byeolcho Special force.

Following Biyemi’s explanation, Leeha suddenly felt envious.

‘The master NPC over there seems to be kind enough to explain that.’ 

How much kinder were they compared to his instructor, the NPC Browless, who tells him to ‘come and find me’! When Leeha was thinking like that, Kijeong smiled and approached Leeha.

“It’s not some kind of Voltron, merging…. Hehe, by the way, what did the gold dragon do earlier? Did he cast a spell?”

“Yeah, well, it’s a magic-”

“What kind of spell was it?”

Along with the stepping sound, a voice was heard that pierced the ear. A woman’s voice was clearly audible even though the surrounding situation was still noisy. Everyone, including Leeha and Kijeong, turned their eyes.

“W-why……?”

“Oh, nice to meet you, are you Fibiel’s Ha Leeha…?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

Leeha nodded. Chwaaak-! The woman spread her fan in an instant and covered her mouth. Two crescent moons floated on the fan. Seeing her smile, Kijeong laughed softly.

“Uhut, it’s nice to meet you. Very nice. I am Chiyou.”

Kijeong’s expression hardened at that greeting.

“Chiyou! Are you the ranker Chiyou? 7th in the ranking, the Dancer of Minis Kingdom, Chiyou?”

“Uheung, what 7th place? I was just lucky. And saying the Minis Kingdom so rigidly? The war is already over. Don’t you think so, Leeha-nim?”

“Oh, ah, yes. But what…… do you need?”

She grumbled mixed with a nasal voice. Then, she slowly approached Leeha.

Leeha remained vigilant. He did not know what was happening. He was facing the dancer who was 7th in the ranking, the only person in the top 10 rankings who did not participate in the war.

‘Nara-ssi could not help because she remained to protect the palace, but what about this person?’

Shin Nara, ranked 6th, belongs to the Sacred Knights. Even when the war broke out, her duties were to faithfully secure the capital and protect the king.. But what about this woman? What mission did he do in the war?

“You’re tougher than I thought, don’t you like my greeting?”

“No, it’s not- that-”

“I came to see the person who was able to make a truce with Kraven’s Drake and defeated Alexander. Uheung, should I say I am a fan of Ha Leeha-nim?”

Chiyo, who still covered half her face with a fan, winked.

Looking at her, Kijeong’s expression softened again. He did not mean to do that. With arrowlike curved eyebrows that looked cute. It was a face that was capable of naturally attracting men.

“You’re a fan? Hoho, I will be watching out.”

“Don’t be so wary I am no longer an enemy.”

“That’s right. You’re no longer an enemy. Ah, may I ask you something?”

“Yes! Sure! Do you want to add me as a friend? Huhut.”

Chiyou tilted her head by 15 degrees and looked at Leeha with a smile. It seemed that Leeha’s heart pounded from that cuteness, but now Leeha was more certain.

“Where were you during the war? What did you do? The 7th in the ranking would have been a great help to Minis.”

Leeha’s eyes shone. What did she do?

Alexander was not the most dangerous person in the war. It wasn’t Petyr either.

The enemy who tormented him ‘behind the scenes’ was what Leeha considered to be the most dangerous enemy”. Perhaps it was this woman who had devised and commanded the strategy from the Marching Plains and tormented Leeha until the end.

It was Leeha’s hunch.

“I can’t tell you that, can I?”

“Why? Maybe Chiyou-nim-”

Shwoook- 

Before Leeha could say anything, she moved close to him. Small blades glistened from behind the fan. The long thin needle barely stopped before reaching Leeha’s chin. Her hand stopped, and the only thing that moved was her upper body. Her face touched Leeha’s ears.

“I can’t reveal an assassin’s movement, can I? Huuu.”

It took less than a second for her to blow air into Leeha’s ear and get away from Leeha again. The long needle in her hand had already disappeared.

“H-Hyung!”

“Leeha-kun.”

“O-Oh- it’s fine. I’m okay, Kijeong-ah. She didn’t attack.”

Kijeong and Tale approached at the sudden movement. However, they did not see Chiyou’s needle.
