Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 425

―Okay, okay. Great. I once again ask Hyein not to forget the 100 hour time limit――

Oh no, don’t worry too much. Hyein knows that better. don’t worry. What about your brother? Is the arrival at the Dragon Palace tomorrow?

-It will arrive close to midnight tomorrow or early morning the day after tomorrow. I have to log out from there for a moment.

-It’s a struggle, really. Why are you going through so much trouble, you idiot?

―Jjolsik, what should we do then? There is no one else to do it but me… no.

Leeha felt a bitter aftertaste. I definitely thought that way when I first volunteered.

‘I felt like there was no one else who could do it but me. ‘Because I believed that there was a weapon that made me almost invincible in the sea, let alone breathing underwater.’

-huh? why? What’s going on?

-No, no. Fish people, be careful.

-okay. The Kraken has already appeared on Roubini’s map again. I never get tired of fish sherry. Please fix the septic tank quickly, bro! Since children keep being born, there is no end to killing them.

-Okay, man. Don’t worry, just wait. have a hard time

―Yes, even if it’s too much!

Leeha stopped whispering with Ki-jeong and sighed.

I was a person who had great faith in the electric shock machine made using Blaugrun’s scales.

However, the fact that it did not work in the sea was now fully understood after several more experiments, and although it was not useless, it was a result that seemed to be virtually useless.

‘For this to work… They say we have to fight in close combat… It’s going to turn. ‘A sniper has to join us and fight?’

I wanted wide-area damage from water, but the situation is no different from a stun gun, which is a short stick. This is more dangerous than sticking and cutting with a knife.

If you are a fishman, it is not easy to deal with even mermaids one-on-one. The physical ability of a fishman is such that only a Sea God Guard captain can catch it.

Team A faced the fishmen because it was at sea level, but what if they were underwater? It would have been difficult to expect the same result.

Moreover, it was absurd for I, who was not in a melee profession, to swim so close that the electric shock gun touched the fishman’s scales.

‘Even if it sticks, it’s a problem. Even if I use < Force Barrier >, I still take damage. Because the voltage is never low. ‘I didn’t know the sea water would be such a big nuisance.’

The hand below is in contact with the < electric shock device >.

Although Bottleneck took sufficient care to prevent electricity from flowing through the handle, etc., the current that had flowed through the seawater flowed back through Leeha’s hand and gave him an electric shock.

Seawater with high conductivity acts as a shield for the fishman and hinders the following.

At this point, the electric shock gun in seawater was more like a weapon to harass the user.

‘But if you hesitate and approach, you will be killed by the fishmen’s weapons. shit… What should I do now? Whether it’s a pollutant or something, this electric shock hits you! I was planning to solve it…’

I was so worried that it was a luxury to even think about pollutants.

Fishmen are already on tight guard around the septic tank.

First of all, passing that is the first hurdle.

‘As Shivrim predicted, there is a final line of defense inside the Dragon Palace, but we cannot expect help from the mermaids there. In the end, we have to solve it among ourselves… The timing is also unfortunate. Even if Mr. Blaugrun becomes at least Jubna First Class-‘

[Kyuuuuu…]

-Why are you pretending to read my thoughts again? I’m not blaming Mr. Blaugrun, so I hope he grows up quickly. Isn’t that something to say after eating too much seaweed these days?

[Yep! Wow!]

The environment was difficult to feed properly for nearly 20 days, but Blaugrun did not disappear anywhere and was holding up well. Leeha was once again grateful for his partner.

‘You have to do it.’

Team A is going safely.

Fishmen and Kraken have appeared, but we will deal with them appropriately.

Wasn’t there only one reason for accepting the mermaid quest: to find a place to build a mana relay tower?

Team A, who was already on the verge of arriving at the location, was, to put it bluntly, no longer in need of Leeha.

‘It’s not for anyone. ‘I have to do it to survive.’

In other words, the remaining trials are solely for you!

Leeha once again strengthened his resolve and began to think of new ways to pioneer.

It was around that time that fishmen began to appear in front of Team A.

* * *

“The Kraken is bigger and more numerous than last time, so be careful!”

“Damn you bastards, it seemed like you were scouting carefully, meticulously, since the last time Leeha spoke-”

Ki-jeong cursed as he looked at the sea level beyond the deck. When team C below faced three fishmen, the fishmen went to the vicinity of team A.

Team A had already prepared after hearing the warning below, but for some reason, the fishmen did not charge.

I was just observing them, keeping my distance to the point where it was nerve-wracking for anyone to see.

When Alexander and Baylippus flew for a while to catch them, the fishmen disappeared into the water, appearing and disappearing again and again.

They knew the fishmen were preparing something, but they weren’t such a threat that they had to go back to the boat to catch them, and Team A, who didn’t have much time to spare, decided to ignore them in the end.

“―I never thought you would have figured out the logout rotation!”

The result was this.

Alexander showed up with a large number of Krakens at a time when he was in logout rotation!

To think that it was simply good timing was to be too dismissive of Middle Earth.

“Oh, that’s ridiculous!”

“But it’s perfect. Of course, when Alexander is away – Bailipus said he needs rest too -” “It

doesn’t matter what happens now. “We just deal with them.”

Kid, who spins the revolver, is right.

It was not important whether the fishmen checked the logout rotation for each user or not.

“I told Mr. Baylipus! “He’ll be out soon!”

Shin Nara of the Marlin shouted at the users of the New-Serpent. Hook also shouted at the same time.

“We’ll just pass by the outskirts of the island! The closest point will be in 40 minutes! sage! “Get ready!”

“all right!”

Materials for the construction of the Mana Relay Tower, including NPCs, have already been moved to the New-Serpent. Hyein began drawing a magic circle around the well-fixed materials.

“All workers constructing the Mana Relay Tower, please come inside! “You can’t come out!”

Since many of the workers were made up of Shazzrasian Giants, the area where the magic circle had to be drawn was also large.

“2 minutes until we reach the Kraken!”

“Fishmen are floating on the sea surface! Soo- uh… many! “More than a hundred—no, more than a hundred and fifty?”

“Damn you guys, you were very determined this time!” [

Kraken

‘s size, number, and direction.]

The Gold Dragon stopped in the sky above the New-Serpent, flapping its wings. Roubini quickly gave him information.

“There are four about 50m tall. The rest are similar to last time, 30m level, and the number is ten. The direction is coming up from the bottom of the sea. “In another 57 seconds, a 50m cat will be right under the New Serpent!”

[I get it. First, let’s prevent the majority from approaching.]

Bailippus flew toward the direction Rubini pointed.

“If Mr. Bailipus takes charge of the majority, what about one? “How do I catch one that jumps out from under the ship?” “

Anyway, the Kraken’s attack pattern is to wrap the ship around with its legs, crush it, and then pull it underwater. My weak point is my eyebrows… “Now I attack the legs first and focus on defense.”

“Let’s think positively! good! Because there are no serpents this time! Brother Leeha will soon be near Yonggung! If you just restore the septic tank, the fish people won’t come out anymore! Since I have to defend myself, I can’t erase the typhoon, so the rain and wind will start again… “It’s worth stopping!”

Kijeong swings his shield and sword! They clashed and shouted loudly.

In the past, anyone would have come forward and scolded him, but his status within the New World expedition team had clearly changed.

The trust given by Ki-jeong’s strong back was solid.

“Come!”

Puhwaak, Puhwaak, Puhwaak─────!

In response to Ki-jeong’s shout, the Kraken’s huge legs rose above the sea level. The Kraken’s legs, which were around 30 meters long, were already as thick as the main mast.

Moreover, the legs of a Kraken that is twice the size are…

“hmm… It seemed a bit pretentious to just yell at him to come here. admit. I guess I shouldn’t have come. Right, Bobae?”

“Kick, they say you always add one more word to make people lose energy. 〈Electric Arrow〉”

“I’m trying to relax, to relax. let’s go!”

Buuuu… !

The Kraken’s roar made the sea surface vibrate.

The huge vibration that tickled the users’ eardrums was like the sound of a boat horn.

With that cry, the Kraken’s legs began to fall to the deck of the New-Serpent.

“Ke, k!”

“Don’t worry, keep drawing the magic circle, Hyein! 〈Guardian of Ahlo〉, 〈Shield of the Patron Saint〉!”

Hye-in was taken aback for a moment, but Ki-jeong, who ran there first, raised his shield. It was too small to block the Kraken’s thick legs, but he was confident.

Beyond Gijeong’s shield, a translucent green shield spread out as if covering the entire deck.

Wide-area defense skill, < Guardian Saint's Shield >.

It was a skill that had a wide defense range, but had low defense power.

until now.

Quaaaaaa whom whom where where?

The pressure was so strong that the waterline of the New-Serpent sank more than 50cm into the water and popped out again!

However, Kraken’s legs could not cover the New-Serpent. The squid’s legs soared into the sky once again, as if embarrassed.

A smile appeared on Kijeong’s lips.

“Baby, you’re weaker than the Serpent?”

For Ki-jeong, who had protected something more important than life, there was nothing to fear from the Kraken’s attack.

Those words were the beginning.

Users who had been unable to relax just a moment ago became energized.

* * *

“Oh, oh oh oh, it’s falling, it’s falling, it’s falling—!”

“Damn it, control the sails! Key, port! Port!”

Like a felled tree, one of the Kraken’s legs was falling onto the helm of the Marlin.

Many of the NPCs were preparing to move with Hyein, so the number of people who had to operate the ship was noticeably reduced. Burke tried his best to escape, but it was already too late.

“〈Soon盾, Electric Attack Circuit 電擊回流〉!”

“T, trap activated, < surprise knockback >”

Fortunately, there were users on the Marlin to defend the ship.

Shaman Euncheon placed the totem and Trapper Snare activated his trap device.

A strong electric current flowing through the Kraken’s legs, and compressed gas spewing out from what looked like a small treasure chest just a moment ago!

The attack, which seemed as if it would break the deck of the Marlin, was paralyzed in the air, bounced back, and was sucked into the sea again.

“Whoa, Rubini! What about Kraken theorem?!”

“Bailiphus is working hard, but there are still more than 5 left!”

“You damn fish heads! “I’ll see if I eat fish from now on!”

The fishmen were masterfully controlling the Kraken.

I also know that if I just dodge the dragon’s breath well, I can dodge the rest into the water and surface again to draw it in.

Meanwhile, their strategy was to quickly sink the ship with a small group of other fishmen and a very large Kraken. It was a strategy that users could clearly read, but the level of difficulty in preventing it was by no means easy.

“sage! “I’m sorry, but can you leave in about 5 minutes?”

“yes? Leeha, but there’s still about 20 minutes left to circle the closest point, right?”

“I would like to, but the summoner said that the current weakens near the buoy! The wind is weak too! Above all, we don’t have Captain Drake! That tanker is great, but it doesn’t have enough room to wipe out the typhoon during the battle!”

“What is that-”
