Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 401
When Chiyo spoke while pulling Tamer Yongyong’s arm a little more tightly to her chest, there were only a handful of men in Middle Earth who could reject her.
“G-Kolok, Kehem, Hee, I’ll do my best.”
“Ungh, well, I’ll show you what kind of monster I am, so you have to succeed, right?”
Chiyo narrowed one eye at him and relaxed her arms.
Shin Nara, who had been entrusted by Lee Ha, was keeping an eye on her from time to time, but there was nothing particularly strange about her behavior so far.
It has to be that way. She is also a user who has been given this quest. There is absolutely no need to interfere with the progress of the quest.
Rather, it would be Chiyo who wanted more earnestly than anyone else for the New World Expedition to arrive safely in the New World.
‘Because it is to acquire living information from the front lines. If a pioneering base is built, another foothold can be established there… It’s a shame that Leeha and the ship are divided, but I’m still satisfied. ‘Because I can understand his concerns about situational judgment in addition to sniping.’
Chiyo slowly cast the skill.
Other users were also focusing on her movements.
I also knew that on the New-Serpent, Rubini of the Oracle profession would be using similar skills.
Something I was curious about one day.
It was Chiyo who performed the task of predicting the monster’s movements and showing its form on the Marlin.
“〈Dance of Vibration〉.”
Chiyo’s skill is vibration dance.
It was an ‘information search’ skill that sensed surrounding vibrations and created a 3D map of those vibrations.
However, what attracts men’s attention more than the skill’s ability is Sharararang! Chiyo’s movements match the sound of musical instruments that seem to come from somewhere.
There were many users who looked at Chiyo with their mouths wide open as she walked and danced lightly.
“Where are you all looking! Stay focused! Landlord- Ah…?! oh my god! This is- this is the size of that monster?”
Shinnara applauds! It woke up the users.
And all eyes on the Marlin were focused on Chiyo’s map.
Although Roubini’s skills and method of displaying them were different, they were still recognizable. The small thing created with a block-like texture is the marlin.
Far above the toy-like Marlin, the ‘giant monster’ coming down from the sky was so large that it was hard to believe.
“what…? Airplane—no, is it like a spaceship?”
“Are you sure you’re going to catch that? I don’t think so. “It’s too big.”
“Well, it’s coming down!”
“Get out of here, you idiots. “I’ll catch him.”
Luger began to climb up the watchtower carrying “Cobalt Blue Python.”
His instinct is to be faster than the thinking of other users.
But this time was different. This is because there was already a user who had received a ‘favor’ from Chiyo.
“I’ll take care of him! We will tame it and make it helpful for this expedition, so be careful when attacking! Let’s go, wing-pony!”
“What?! “What a crazy guy—”
The Tamer, barely sitting on a little pony with wings, began to fly into the sky.
‘Hehe, difficulties do not always exist when there are ‘enemies’. When your allies are in trouble as much as your enemies… what are you going to do, Leeha?’
And Chiyo had a very small smile as she looked at that.
* * *
“What?! “Who is that?”
Lee Ha, who was making the same movements as Luger, was equally embarrassed.
He quickly climbed up to the main mast’s watchtower and lifted the Black Bass, but who was that user who was flying into the sky?
“Eung! It’s Yongyong, the marlin’s tamer! “I heard you said you were going to tame that thing?!”
“Kikit, that’s ridiculous. Wing-Pony can carry a person and fly, but its speed is slow. “It won’t be enough to increase intimacy while avoiding that monster’s attacks.”
“Oh, that’s right! It’s literally a means of transportation that can be used instead of a carriage… This is the first time I’ve seen someone fly on that… They’ll get eaten.”
Hearing Ki-jeong’s shout, Biyemi and Jinggeong expressed skeptical impressions.
The personnel of the New-Serpent had already confirmed the monster through Roubini’s skills and Fernand’s knowledge, and were preparing to deal with the ‘Giant Albatross’.
“Monsieur Fernand! “How did you catch it last time?”
“He just ran away! How can I catch that? However, the speed is also fast… I managed to get there by sacrificing two of the ships in the fleet…”
No matter how fast a ship is, it cannot be faster than an aircraft. Moreover, what is the size of the one that caught Lee Ha’s eyes?
‘The golden eagle at Candle Castle back in the day was roughly the size of a light aircraft. But what about that…’ Iha
once again measured the size of the thing falling towards the New-Serpent and the Marlin.
The width of the thing that spreads its wings and falls is about 40m. The length from the tip of the beak to the tail feathers is approximately 50m.
Even the falling speed was so great that convection currents similar to flying clouds were mixed behind it.
‘I’m sure it’s bigger than the plane I take to Jeju Island.’
It is, so to speak, a flying monster on the level of a mid-to-large passenger plane.
Lee Ha swallowed his saliva.
The distance between it and sea level is still approximately 4 km, but considering the speed of its descent, there is not much left.
‘Even if you get hit directly once – no, it’s not at the level of a direct hit. Even if it flies just above the heads of the two ships,
the ships may capsize due to the aftereffects.
With that size and speed, waves near the sea surface cannot be ignored.
“Damn, so I have to shoot quickly somehow-”
I can’t reach it yet. Moreover, what should a tamer user who goes back towards this guy do?
‘What do you plan to do, Mr. Alexander?’
Alexander was riding on top of Baylippus, which had already turned into a dragon.
Are you thinking of charging at a flying creature the size of an Ancient Gold Dragon or larger?
-Can you make it crash?
It was then that a whisper came from Alexander.
* * *
―It’s still out of range. We’ll reach it within a minute, but-
-No, it’s a tamer.
―Yongyong? Shoot Yongyong?
-I don’t need anyone who doesn’t follow my instructions.
-Now, wait a minute! Even if it goes to such an extreme level –
Yongyong is likely to die from Baylipus’ attack, so I’m asking you a favor.
Alexander’s voice was not fast, but it had quite a bit of force.
The following could also see that Tamer Yongyong’s sudden behavior had sufficiently angered him.
-Oh, just make it fall so it doesn’t die?
-Yes.
―Haaa… I may seem weak to Mr. Alexander, but that’s not the case.
It is a ‘normal’ attack that causes over 30,000 damage with a normal attack, but is it really too shabby in the eyes of the #1 ranked attack?
The following was a bit disappointing in that Alexander was ignoring him knowingly or unknowingly, but it was a luxury to feel that way now.
―Yongyong! Where are you going? Come back quickly!
-I think I can tame that thing!
-What kind of nonsense are you talking about, Wing, who fell so slowly -What are you doing with Pony… You know better that it won’t work! Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
―That… That….
Yongyong hesitated, unable to continue speaking.
Because there is a request from Chiyo. Because I want to look good to her. I wasn’t a user with enough insight to give that answer.
-ah! Well, if I tame that thing! We can all ride on that! If it’s that big… isn’t it?
-Eh?
Riding a Giant Albatross? Iha again saw the huge bird monster visible through the scope of the Black Bass.
‘Definitely mid-to-large passenger aircraft. There are at least 100 people on the plane to Jeju Island. If we can tame it, we’ll travel to the New World much faster… no!’
―The problem is not that only users ride it! Mana relay tower material?! After all, you can’t do it without a ship!
Lee Ha felt ashamed of himself, even if only for a moment.
Even though I knew exactly what this quest was about, I almost fell for such an absurd temptation!
There is a quest in which users who participated in the subjugation of the Demon King’s army, including Faust, received three stat points as a reward.
The content is to participate in the New World Expedition and reach the New World.
If you can tame and ride a Giant Albatross, you may be able to complete the quest, but that is not the only quest you receive as a member of the real New World Expedition.
Construction of the Mana Relay Tower is also very important!
Even if you somehow manage to use the Giant Albatross to fly, you will not be able to succeed in the quest.
-But- But- I’m sorry! Anyway, I will definitely try to tame it!
-No, that won’t work-
Shuuuuk-!
Ignoring the shouts below, Yongyong accelerated even further.
Iha sighed and looked at the watchtower of the Marlin. Lee Ha is probably not the only one who is feeling this frustration right now.
Moreover, Yongyong has not yet reached 1km in the air.
There was no way he could have been more patient than the below, as he was capable of reaching this range.
-Stop, Rugeruuuuuuuu!
Tukwaaaaang――――――――――!
Iha quickly lowered his gun and fired at the watchtower of the Marlin. To be exact, the bullet flew above Luger’s head, above the watchtower!
―It, this damn bastard? Do you want to die?
―You just tried to shoot Yongyong, right?
―Alexander It’s structured because I already told that idiot.
-No no! Damn it, I hate to see him go on a rampage, but I still need him!
That was what Iha was worried about.
Tamers are similar to druids in that they must manage intimacy with monsters or creatures, but they are similar to summoners in that they use the concept of a ‘pet’.
This means that it has the characteristics of both types of jobs.
What if we don’t know what will happen in the future at the New Continent’s pioneering base, and are concerned about the possibility that Jing Geng Geng, the representative druid, or the user, the representative summoner, will die?
This means that the Tamer occupation is essential as a backup resource.
-Then what are we going to do? Are we going to let our whole ship capsize to save that idiot? If you don’t deal with the large bird now, it will be difficult to determine its landing point in advance. You know, right?
-shit! I know, so just wait!
The issue of handling the giant albatross is not simply whether or not it can be killed.
Another problem is that even if you kill something that is of enormous size and falls at an incredible speed, its body does not disappear immediately.
‘To put it bluntly, even if his body falls into the sea and is swept away by the waves, there is a high probability that the boat will capsize. The worst case scenario is that the ship hits the corpse and breaks into pieces.’
Therefore, it must be processed in advance.
After killing it so that it can no longer move or change direction, you must inform the captain NPCs to sail as far away as possible from the expected falling point.
‘Let’s just shoot the Giant Albatross, but the Yongyong is staring in its path and blocking our view…’
This was the reason why Luger wanted to shoot the Yongyong, and this was also the reason why he couldn’t shoot the Giant Albatross right away.
Luger wanted to sacrifice a cow for the greater good, and Lee Ha wants to save even that ‘cow’ at all costs.
‘Hehe, look, look, I knew that would happen. This makes it clear… That’s Leeha’s weakness. If you’re that greedy, there comes a time when you won’t be able to protect what you can, honey?! Ugh.’
Chiyo was smiling brightly on the deck of the Marlin, watching the stalemate.
Chiyo’s weakness is that she thinks too much. If you try to kill two birds with one stone, you will also miss one.
