Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 283
“Huh?”
“Why?”
“Look at my mind I didn’t even allocate my stats.”
“Hyung……. You’re really from Fibiel. You’re so caught up in the war that you didn’t even allocate your stats.”
Seeing Kijeong’s exasperated expression, Leeha felt ashamed as well. I-I just signed the truce with Kraven- ah, that’s right.”
Wasn’t it really hectic? Leeha just received the signal that Alexander appeared, so he had no time to spare. There was another thing that came to Leeha’s mind from allocating the stat points he received from the title [The One Recognized by the Son of Haeshin]
“What? A blanket?”
Kijeong asked as Leeha took something out of his bag.
He took out an item, wiped out the creases, and said. “No, it’s a coat. Drake gave it to me.”
“Huh? What?”
Who?
“K-Kraven’s Drake? That commander-in-chief NPC? The strongest in the sea?”
“Yeah. He gave it to me when the truce had been signed, but I was too busy, so I just put it in the bag.”
“You’re saying you just put the coat that Drake gave you in your bag? Hyung?!”
Wasn’t it really crazy? Seeing Kijeong’s expression, Leeha made an ashamed expression again.
He was just so busy…….
“Hyung deserves the first place contribution. You roamed around the battlefield like that, ah, really. Anyway, look at the options it has.”
Kijeong nodded his head and said.
Leeha thought about how he could get back at his cousin for making fun of him.
“Are you curious?”
“Of course! It’s from a special NPC, it should at least be rare, right? No, looking at the name, it shouldn’t be strange if it’s at the Heroic Grade! Look quick-”
“If you’re curious, you need to tank.”
“What?”
“Where do monsters over level 190 come from? How many hits can you endure?”
There was something appropriate just in time. He could get information from Madam Ju’s Intelligence Guild, but after meeting up with Kijeong, Leeha decided to use it(?).
Hearing Leeha’s remarks, Kijeong stared at his cousin with his mouth wide open. He tried to ask for information about the item, but he was ignored.
“I guess you come to a hunting ground like this when you reach level 200. Isn’t the atmosphere nice?”
The cool wind brushed Leeha’s face.
The hunting ground chosen by Kijeong best met the conditions that Leeha mentioned. There were no monsters around, only Leeha.
-Hyung! What was it? Ready- oh, it’s up!
“Hmm, Middle Earth really is a game that is worth playing just for the scenery. Alright then, let’s get ready.”
Leeha took out Black Bass and slowly open the bipod. An urgent cry kept echoing in his head, but he didn’t care.
After frowning at a place that could not be seen, Leeha knelt down. He opened the cap of the scope, and first checked the approximate position with low magnification. A man wriggled in the distance lifting his shield, with a three-handed ogre in front of him.
Normally, Kijeong who was around level 200 dealt with monsters at level 195 or higher.
-Hyung! Hyung!! Quick- uh, uh- cough -! Hyung, are you ready? Are you going to shoot now?
-Oh, Kijeong-ah. It’s from a viewing position, but I can her the voice right in my head, so it’s like I’m in a drive-in theater. Have you ever been to a drive-in theater?
-S-Stop talking nonsense! Hyung! Quiiiiick! I won’t be able to last for too long!
Leeha remembered the Black Bass’ quest.
He had to deal with a level 190 or higher monster in one attack that was 2,000m away.
For the condition ‘one blow’, he could not deal damage twice and no one other than Leeha must inflict damage.
In other wods, Kijeong literally had to defend against the three-armed ogre.
“Kek, you have to suffer a little to learn how to treat your hyung properly.”
Leeha had no intention of shooting quickly.
He made fun of his hyung just because he didn’t know much about Middle Earth?
Of course, it didn’t mean that Leeha would just watch as Kijeong died. Click- click- click- Leeha observed Kijeong’s condition as he adjusted the scope’s clicks.
A blue light flashed from Kijeong’s body.
-Haa, haa, hyung! Please! Shoot! I used a skill! I’m higher level than this guy, but the three-armed ogre’s attack power is as strong if not stronger than mine!
One of the things Leeha requested was that ‘the monster should be large’.
It is a level 200 monster, but its attack power is similar to a monster with a level around 210. Without a healer, it was a tough opponent for Kijeong to tank alone.
It held three clubs with its three arms and swung it alternately.
Leeha couldn’t hear anything except Kijeong’s whispers, but everytime Kijeong lifted his shield Kwang-! Kwang-! Leeha felt like he could hear the sound effects.
-Hyung, I really am not kidding! Really hyung!
Kijeong started twisting his words Even the guild master of the Byeolcho Guild, which showed high-level movements such as evasion and tanking, could not do much without being able to counterattack.
-I don’t want to mess with you.
-Oh, huh?
-I’m going to mess with you or not. -Hyuuuung? Now is not the time to joke around.
Leeha watched Kijeong and the three-armed ogre fight while laughing. There were inaudible crying and groaning sounds that were hard to express in his head.
What immediately followed next was Kijeong’s declaration of surrender
-I was wrong, eong-nim! I won’t mess around anymore, so please take care of this guy quickly. Quickly!
-Really?
-Carrot really!
-‘Carrot really’?
-O-Of course, really, eong-nim! Hurry up and shoot! I already lost a fifth of my health!
“What, you held on well.”
Despite making a dying sound, Kijeong had the skills of a semi-ranker.
In Middle Earth, where a party of 5 is the basic of catching monsters of the same level, he could tank a monster at the same level alone for a long time and only lose 20% of his health.
“Anyway, I will listen to you. Hu.”
Leeha calmed down and breathed slowly. Even if Leeha said it like that, he still had to help Kijeong in the end
They are cousins who knew each other’s hearts and mischiefs.
‘Distance 2,000…… 2,045m. Wind direction east, wind speed 4m/s, stabilization complete.’
The three-armed ogre’s left arm, right arm, and middle arm alternately stretched toward Kijeong.
Leeha watched not only to see Kijeong suffer. It was also necessary to understand the pattern and movement of the three-armed ogre.
‘From now on, it’s something that I haven’t experienced before, an unknown feeling.’
Leeha had never tried sniping from a distance of 2,000m either in Middle Earth or in reality. However, there was no difference so far. The reason Leeha wanted to try was that he was somewhat confident.
The experience of fighting with Kraven in the Dike Beach, and successfully sniping Alexander from 1,800m away made him grow.
A virtual sound came into Leeha’s head.
Kwa-kwang- and the middle arm of the three-armed ogre was about to move.
‘Calm Mind.’
Baaaaaaang——-!
The bullet flew through the wind.
A brief delay after the three-armed ogre’s middle arm struck the shield.
Leeha accurately calculated the timing of the delay in the three-armed ogre’s movement and the time the bullet will reach it.
Kijeong lowered his shiled and waved his arms while looking at Leeha. Along with the signal from his cousin, a fanfare rang in Leeha’s head.
Babam-!
[You have leveled up.]
[Achievement: Silent Sniper(B)] Congratulations! You hit the target 2,000m away! You must be feeling it yourself, right? It takes 3.4 seconds to hear the sound after the attack hits, so very few people in Middle Earth will notice you. However, there are always exceptions! Beware of the ‘exceptions’ of humans and non-humans. Middle Earth wants the power you have.
Reward: Agility +13
You are the first registrant of the achievement [Silent Sniper].
The first three registrants of the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and 200% of the existing effect will be rewarded.
Effect: Agility +26
[You have completed the quest ‘Black Bass’ Seal-3′.]
[You have learned the skill ‘Mana Freeze]
[Black Bass’ Seal – 4 quests has been created.]
“Oh? Ohhh?”
Along with leveling up, he was aiming for the Black Bass quest, but one unexpected achievement caught his attention. The achievement by distance disappeared after 400m. After the Black Bass changed into a modern sniper rifle and the achievement didn’t appear at 1,000, or 1,500m, so Leeha thought it just disappeared….
‘2,000m……. That’s right, what started at 100m with a musket, started at 2,000m with a sniper rifle.’
Compared to the contents of the praise, the grade of the achievement is only a B grade.
He couldn’t tell how many meters it was, but he could clearly feel that there was much more up there.
-Hyung, are you done?
-Oh. I’m done. I am now level 163.
-Good, good! Hihi, hurry up and come and get your items, I will protect it.
After tidying up, Leeha allocated 5 stat points in agility and headed to Kijeong. The first thing was to check the skills and Black Bess’ quests.
‘How long does it take to learn a new skill? No matter how good is weapon was, it was nothing compared to Luger or Kidd. I want something like a bullet storm too! I want to learn something like that.’
Black Bass was fraudulent enough to say that if others had heard of it they would give up all their skills, but that was not what Leeha thought.
Leeha smiled and opened the skill details window.
[Mana Freeze]
Description: A seasoned predator stops even the struggle of its prey. The prey will not even be able to resist or run away.
Effect: Freezes all new mana within a 30m radius of activation(maintains existing skills, cannot cast new skills)
Mana: 200
Duration: 10 minutes after activation
Cooldown: 1 hour
“Hmm..? Hmmm?”
Mana Freeze? It meant that the existing magic will be maintained, but new magic will be sealed upon casting.
‘Dispel is a skill that cancels even the skills that have already been cast. Oh, it would have been awesome if it was like that!’
Leeha knew it because he had seen the power of the gold dragon Bailephus. Even if the dragon only glared and snorted, all of the magic that had come to him will disappear.
Even if it wasn’t on a gold dragon level, it would have been nice if it was similar to Biyemi’s skill. Didn’t even magicians floating in the air fall to the ground as the flight magic was canceled.
‘It’s fortunate that it’s ranged magic. Besides, the 30m radius from the point of activation is wider than expected…
It was a bit disappointing that it was not on the level of dispel, but it was a little comforting to see the “generous cool time” and “generous range of effects” given for the first time. He also got a new quest as expected.
