Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 384
Magic Bullet (384)
‘Good, good. The wind right now is… northeast, 11 m/s. At this level, the trajectory will inevitably change near the effective range limit. Just like when I captured Aello.’
Since the duration of the Snipe skill had already expired, I looked for a target based on the distance where only the range increase effect of joint fixation was applied.
A large rock at the bottom of the peak where it previously stood.
How will we get there?
‘If it goes as it is, it will hit to the right of that rock. If you look at the distance and wind direction, it has to be that way! But now-‘
Slap-!
Pulling the bolt and loading a round, Iha pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Tuquaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Kiriririt! Kiririt!”
“Kyaaa, kyaaaa!”
A noise so loud that the harpies fluttered in fright and soared into the sky.
Even before the echo of the noise ended, Iha could see a crack in the middle of the rock.
“…Did you say you caught something like this?”
[Kkyun! Kyuu!]
Blaugrun hovered above Iha’s head as if to say congratulations.
“Guuuuuuuuuuu!”
The little boy also let out a cry of joy, even though he didn’t know what it was.
“Okay, shall we finish now?”
“Quong?”
[Kkyun?]
Lee Ha muttered, putting on his hat with a satisfied expression.
“Joint sticking: lower part, skill disabled.”
From preparation before shooting the field boss Harpy to now fixation, about 20 minutes.
As the mana vines on his legs suddenly disappeared, Iha stretched his ankles.
“Hey, harpies!”
“Kyaaaaaaa! Kyaaa—!”
“Kirit, I will kill you, I will kill you!”
“Ugh, but if you wanted to kill him, you should have killed him earlier while he was still. You won’t die just by talking loudly. Does it make sense to try to get results without taking action?”
The following raised the Black Bass.
Before looting Aelo’s body, Iha did not just sit still.
Lee Ha is not stupid enough to ignore the notification window that appeared while completing the Black Beth quest.
‘I was really surprised… It’s so accurate to say that this guy is alive.’
[Black Beth’s Seal – 5]
Description: “This guy is alive, the more he tastes blood, the more he will wake up. The day the right user appears, Black Beth will awaken again…” The legendary dwarf placed seven seals on Black Beth. The legendary gun that chooses its user is waiting for the user to awaken it.
Content: Defeat a level 250 or higher monster with one hit from a distance of 3,500 m or more (0/1)
Reward: ???
It was not an increase in distance of 500m or level 20 like usual.
A whopping distance of 1,000m and an increase of level 40!
It seems as if four of the seven seals were just tests at the beginning, and the level of difficulty increased rapidly towards the end.
It almost made me think that the living Black Bess had increased the difficulty level to test himself.
‘But this isn’t the only thing that really surprised me. The reward for the fourth, final test at the beginning!
The good news among the misfortunes is that as the difficulty level was increased, the reward of the fourth test, which was the last test in the beginning, was exciting.
“Mr. Blaugrun, and you, kid. Shall I show you something fun?”
[Kkuong?]
“Kyuong?”
Lee Ha looked at the harpies still stirring in the air. Five was the perfect number to test.
“They say I was discharged from the volunteer army because of an accident… and the spacing was strange, but I can’t believe I thought this word was an African word. My head is really hard. right?”
[Kkuong?]
“Kyuong?”
What are you talking about? Blaugrun and the kid tilted their heads with expressions like this.
A brown bear that is more than twice the size of Lee Haeul, and a Blaugrun that is only the size of the brown bear’s head.
The two beings in red and turquoise had a strange appearance that seemed contradictory.
“Kick. Look Carefully. This is the newly acquired skill. Not datan~ dutan~!”
Slam!
Iha pulled the bolt once again.
“Kyaaaaa! Men, all men must be killed!”
“Men are no better than insects! There is no need for men in a world of women!”
“Kiririt, Kiriririt—! The gun only fires one shot anyway! Just fly up and dodge!”
Then he pointed his gun at the five harpies roaming the sky and quietly opened his mouth.
“It’s one shot… Well, it’s a shame, it’s not one shot. Giggle, 〈All the bullets〉.”
Take it!
As soon as I pulled the trigger, I felt the Black Beth recoil.
Normally, you wouldn’t be able to see the bullet exiting the muzzle even with your eyesight. The fastest speed is when it leaves the muzzle.
but now?
Tukwaa- Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa——-!
“Kirit?!”
“Kyaaa! W-what-”
The effect was such that the harpies forgot to flap their wings for a moment.
No sooner had it escaped from Black Beth’s gun than the bullet, which had a speed nearly three times the speed of sound, ‘disintegrated’.
“Leeha! Multiple warheads, multiple warheads! All warheads – bullets!”
The warheads divided by the energy of the Black Bass split simultaneously, creating a fire net.
An effect that could only be achieved by several people shooting in the same direction can now be achieved with just one person, one bullet, and one reload!
〈Multiple Bullets〉
Description: Even the river tyrant Beth is reluctant to deal with the little mischievous piranhas. Although their individual abilities are weak, there is no prey that can escape from the jaws of a group of them.
Effect: Multiple warhead attack (Current number of warheads in proportion to agility stat: 27)
(Individual warhead attack power and range each decreased by 30%)
Mana: 600
Cool time: 1 minute
“Bye bye! I hope that in the next world you meet a male harpy who will love you! No, but do harpies also have a male body? Well, it’s not like a harpy can reproduce asexually…”
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa…!
When Iha was talking nonsense towards the monsters created in the Middle Earth setting, the mana bullets, split into 27 pieces with a total agility of 2,734, tore through five Harpies at the same time.
The attack power is reduced by 30% due to the skill effect, and since it is at a similar level to the one below, the title ‘Fearless’ is not applied, but the attack power of each shot is a whopping 20,209.
The harpies cannot survive even if they are hit by just one shot.
Moreover, since there were as many as twenty-seven such warheads, it was natural that the five harpies could not escape no matter how hard they tried.
“Cut, 꾸 ….”
[Wow ….]
It was the power to be embarrassed by the soulmate kid and partner Blaguun.
“Is this enough to go to the New World? ah! Do you think they won’t come out with any good items again?”
Lee Ha killed a group of fifteen monsters, including fourteen harpies and the field boss Aello, all by himself.
In a way, it was natural that his experience level was already over 40%.
* * *
“There are feathers, but they are miscellaneous feathers with no special effects… As expected, they don’t appear unless you are a field boss. Wow, you can root the leg meat part too?”
The upper body is that of a human woman, but the lower body and wings are clearly those of an eagle.
It was natural to be able to loot the meat that looked like a chicken leg.
[Kwow! [Quuuuuup, chup, chup.]
“Uuuuuuup, chup, chup. Mr. Blaugrun…”
When the topic of meat was brought up, Lee Ha shook his head as he looked at the hatchling who had lost his appetite again. However, it is natural to do it if your partner wants it!
“Okay, then do you want to lightly [grill harpy legs] with this rare potion thickened sauce?”
[Kwow! Kkeut!]
Flap, flutter, flutter!
Blaugrun hovered happily above Iha’s head.
‘The most important thing in feeding hatchlings for rapid growth is a potion of rare or higher level. How can I cook and feed this as an ingredient every day, several times a day? People who don’t have money won’t be able to raise hatchlings.’
The cheapest of the rare potions is the HP potion.
Of course, in the case of status ailments and MP potions, they are expensive enough to change the unit, so they are just saying that they are cheap.
For ordinary users, even rare HP potions were high-end items that made you wonder if they were just made to look good…
‘If it wasn’t for the quest to subdue the Demon Lord’s Army, my spine would have been really broken. Phew.’
All HP potions are made in temples, and all temples on the continent are temples of the main god, Ahlo, in other words, institutions under the Holy See.
Therefore, anyone who has been authorized to receive a certain number of potions per day free of charge from the Holy See can obtain several rare potions every day from any nearby temple.
Other users, such as Alexander, who participated in the subjugation team, did not use the power because they did not use the potion itself well, but Lee Ha tenaciously took advantage of it.
‘Bad Middle Earth. What you guys think is obvious even without looking at it. Since I didn’t have a close job group, it might have been something I was trying to show off, but I’m different. ‘I’m going to eat all the mulberries.’
The following is to the point where he thought that even the reward was created by Middle Earth’s system or the operator to annoy him, which clearly shows how much he suffered in this game.
Even though I was complaining hard about Middle Earth, Iha’s hands did not rest.
Cut the meat, stick it on a long tree branch like a skewer, and grill it over a simple bonfire using a fire starter!
It is also essential to gently rotate the skewers so that all sides are properly cooked, while continuing to apply the special sauce made by boiling down rare HP potions!
When the fragrant smell finally emerged from the golden brown grilled harpy leg meat, Iha held out the skewer.
“Okay, that’s it! Blaugrun—”
[ㄲ―]
When Blaugrun was about to happily fly to Iha, there was another creature that moved before him…
Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Plop, plop, plop! Wow!
“―Uh, huh?!”
Leeha, before I had time to do anything, the little boy ran up to me and swallowed up all the twigs that I had used to skewer.
“…Kid?”
“Cow!”
“Hey, it’s not you… you…”
Lee Ha looked at the kid with a bewildered expression.
The kid had not yet disappeared as Soul Link’s skill lasted less than 30 minutes.
‘Even so… was he also being fed? No, anyway, it’s natural to think that living things need to eat to grow, but-‘
I didn’t know. I didn’t even think about it.
In the case of hatchlings, there was no notification window or guidance, so I found a way to grow through the information guild, but what about soul mates?
It’s true that I didn’t pay much attention to it after learning that the user’s level was applied to the growth of the soul mate.
“Cow! Kuu-!”
The kid licked Iha’s cheek with a bright smile on his face.
Lee Ha was both happy and embarrassed to see the little boy’s gentle expression of affection for the first time in a long time.
‘That’s right, he always calls me and treats me only when we fight. ‘Except for calling me a hard worker to get my grade up, you really didn’t play with him.’
In a way, isn’t he the first creature in Middle Earth to become attached to it?
Alexander and Baylippus were even closer to the kid, to the point where they nicknamed him ‘soul mate’.
“I’m sorry, kid. I was too insensitive.”
“Guuuuuuuuuuu!”
Lee Ha tried to feel sentimental for the first time in a long time.
Even if Blaugrun hadn’t blown up at the kid with his cheeks puffed out.
[Kkyun! Kkuuuuung!]
“Quuuuuung!”
Blaugrun opened the child’s mouth with his hand and pushed his head in.
“Wow?! B, Mr. Blaugrun? What are you doing? Kid, mouth! You can’t shut your mouth!”
[Kyuuuu, kuuuuuu!]
“Kuuuuu, kuuuuuuu!”
Even the big brown bear couldn’t help but be taken aback by the kid’s action, as if he was trying to retrieve the food he had swallowed.
However, you can’t hit a dragon that is only the size of your head.
“Get it!”
[Kwow!]
Blaugrun finally seemed to give up, took his head out of the kid’s mouth and hit the brown bear’s forehead with his tail.
Compared to Kuzgunak’Sheena Bailipus’ tail attack, it was an attack that seemed like it could catch a fly, so it wouldn’t do any damage to the kid, but it didn’t feel good.
