Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 494

‘How is Hye-in here? why? One of the subjects of note, apparently there was nothing unusual about his recent movements!’

Chiyo was embarrassed.

What should I say first? Is that something that makes sense?

He was once a puppet of the Shinobigumi, but after being kicked out of Byeolcho, he didn’t receive much attention.

It was after the national war that the Shinobigumi began to pay attention to Hyein again.

It was natural to include those skilled enough to participate in navigation of the New World as ‘objects of observation’.

Perhaps Hyein was the first person in the history of the Shinobigumi to be excluded from observation and then included again.

But can that be achieved through skill alone?

There was one reason why Chiyo placed him under observation again.

‘No, the reason Hyein has always been annoying is not because of her skills!’

An obsession hidden behind an innocent face.

The unexpected tenacity of a topic that once deviated from its path is finally brought back to life!

Chiyo started observing him again because he was one of the few people who could laugh and get angry like he did now.

“Is it urgent? Yes, of course it is. There’s probably a lot of whispering here and there. Sasuke, I wanted to see that unlucky bastard’s face too…”

“Oh my. “What… what are you talking about?”

“Oh my, that’s a cute expression. But what? Are you listening to the live broadcast from Leeha? So don’t make a fuss. If you keep doing that, it makes me want to kill you. “You know what I mean, right?”

“Are you here to kill me?”

“Do you want to keep acting like that?”

Hyein’s expression changed completely.

It wasn’t a threat. Light purple particles have already begun to seep into his body.

-Sasuke! What is the situation?!

―Leeha― Powerful―

―Stupid… Be prepared the next time you log in!

Chiyo stopped whispering.

I also turned off all the factors and Sasuke’s location window. Her vision became brighter and she smiled politely.

“I think there is some kind of misunderstanding with Hyein. Let’s talk instead of that.”

Chiyo walked towards Hyein, shaking her buttocks gently.

Hyein is not stupid. The atmosphere and situation seem to be going well, but there are no people around. In a 1:1 situation, Dancer’s attack power is bound to be overwhelming compared to Seiji.

“〈Spey-”

“If you don’t want to do it, you can die.”

Shwaaaaagh!

Chiyo also knew that well. I was just taking my time to figure out the situation!

Before Hyein’s staff hit the ground, she had already launched herself.

She was quick to close the distance in an instant, and before I knew it, the fan she was holding in her right hand had a sharp blade sticking out from the end.

Space Grab!

It was calculated that even Chiyo could not avoid it if it was a targeting skill that would stop the movement, but the fact that her movement was faster than Hyein’s prediction was beyond the calculation.

The sharp blade was aimed precisely at Hyein’s neck.

Just when Chiyo’s mouth was about to burst into laughter, instead of the sound of tearing her skin like “fuuuuk”, she heard “Kaaan”! It was a surprise to her to hear a repulsive sound.

“W-what?!”

“―Sgrab》!”

I was embarrassed for a moment.

Uuuuuuuu! The light purple pillar completely enveloped her. A blue border was seen surrounding Hyein’s body as she cast the skill.

“no way…?!”

“female-! Chiyo! Long time no see! Wow, even though I used the 《Guardian Seal》, the damage is terrible! After all, a ranker is a ranker. It seemed like an average hit, but it’s better than Taeil’s skill?”

“Why should I say the obvious, Kay? “After all, she is a ranker.”

“Mr. Ki-jeong always gets hated for saying things like that. Right, Taeil?”

“As expected, you know very well, Bobae.”

Low, low, low….

Three silhouettes slowly walking down from the hills of the silver plain. Chiyo recognized them.

No, just hearing your voice was already enough.

“Brother Lee-ha too, it’s a matter of our own in the first place, but he insists on saying it’s ‘his business’. Anyway, you build your pride in a strange place.”

“Hehe, isn’t it cute though? “I’m trying to distinguish between ‘public and private’ in my own way.”

“No. Not public and private. When I saw it, Leeha was upset. “I think it’s because we hunted alone in the New World and he was upset that I didn’t take care of him.”

A person who grumbles but never lets down his guard against his surroundings.

The person holding a sturdy shield that was reassuring to look at and a legendary sword was the guild leader of Byeolcho, Master K, Ki-jeong.

The person who roared next to him and ignited his sword was Taeil, the assault leader of Byeolcho. He was a user who had so much to say about the Shinobi-gumi, especially Sasuke, that it would be embarrassing to be second to none.

And the woman standing next to them, a newcomer in terms of the guild and not affiliated with the Shinobigumi, is a treasure. Ironically, the reason she came here was to protect ‘untrustworthy men.’

“K. “I was worried because I thought I was late.”

“Actually, it was a bit close.”

Hyein sighed and looked at them.

If it weren’t for Ki-jeong’s protection skill just now, Hye-in would have died in one hit.

However, they did as they had said in advance, arrived just in time, and created the situation.

“What about this brother?”

Chiyo niiiiiiiim────!

Sasuke’s shout was heard, interrupting Kijeong’s question.

I also saw him getting out of the forest and running vigorously towards where Chiyo was. However, there was not a single member of the Shinobi-gumi assisting him.

Hyein, Kijeong, Taeil, and Bobae were all looking at the black dot crossing the plain.

“Ah, I just received a whisper from Lee Ha.”

It was Bo-bae who answered Ki-jeong’s question.

“Brother? “What do you say?”

“Hmm, he might die if he shoots him, so he wants me to subdue him? Me, indeed. “Mr. Lee Ha is probably the only person who would say something arrogant like this to a ranker.”

Bobae grumbled and pulled the bowstring.

Her bow, which was nothing, boomed, and an arrow of light was created.

“W-what-? Who are you subduing?”

“There’s a human running over there.”

“Sasskkkkkkkkkkkkkk-”

Pwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The arrow was fired, causing an aftereffect.

No matter how fast Sasuke ran, the distance between them was still more than 500 meters. Of course, that distance was not a problem for ‘Gungwi’, who ranked 10th.

Chiyo niiiiiii─── Billion!

Sasuke’s shin was pierced by the bow.

Ki-jeong, Hye-in, Tae-il and others looked at the scene in bewilderment.

Instead of turning gray, he stood up again and limped towards Chiyo, and there was a feeling of sadness in him.

“Whahaha! No, Sasuke! Where are you going? “Let’s play with me some more!”

Kugu soup, Kugu soup, Kugu soup!

And there was another user running quickly towards Sasuke, who was moving with a limp.

A man riding a flaming bear, holding a bronze dragon hatchling on his head, laughing and shouting.

“Don’t you sometimes think that Lee Ha plays alone using cheats?”

“I heard you have to tell the GM.”

Ki-jeong and Bo-bae could imagine it just by hearing Lee Ha’s laughter.

I don’t know what tactics he used or how he used them, but his plans and actions completely subdued the entire Shinobigumi.

“It’s natural that effort is rewarded.”

Taeil smiled while looking at Kijeong and Bobae grumbling.

“It is also natural to encourage and punish evil.”

I didn’t forget to add one word.

The eyes of everyone gathered were focused on Chiyo. I can move my hands and my feet. But her body is fixed. Of course, you can hear sound.

When her arms and legs began to droop, anyone could have predicted how the situation would end.

“Gelapon!”

“Gagging!”

Sasuke, who was walking with a limp, whined! When a translucent hand came out to grab it, Lee Ha screamed happily.

“I got it ──────! “It’s a big step, a big step──────!”

Chases and traps, trap after trap, and even counter-traps. Of course, Lee Ha did not predict all of this perfectly.

The Shinobigumi hunt, in which the battle of brains outside the class was more intense than the actual battle, was finally about to come to an end.

* * *

Space Grab was a binding spell worse than paralysis, fear, or petrification.

You can move your hands, feet, and neck, but once they are fixed, they cannot move.

“…How on earth…”

Chiyo muttered with an expression of giving up on everything.

After high-fiving with Ki-jeong, Bo-bae, and Tae-il, Lee Ha got off the kid’s back and walked in front of her.

“How did you know? Well, I can’t say I knew.”

“then? “How did you prepare for this without even knowing?”

“Giggles, well. “It’s amazing even when I think about it.”

Lee Ha grinned and laughed.

The things he had hastily prepared for the past few days passed through his mind.

‘There’s no way you’d ask for information so suddenly in a sacred grill. Even though it is an information guild of NPCs who utilize the system.’

Basically, it was also a difference in understanding NPCs and the game.

It is no exaggeration to say that the user who used the NPC information guild the most is Lee.

Since I had already experienced a lot of how they handled information, I was suspicious of the Holy Grill’s words that suddenly revealed Chiyo’s whereabouts.

There’s no way he showed up for no reason. There will definitely be some scheming.

So, here’s what I thought.

What tactics can Chiyo use? What are her characteristics? What are the methods shown so far from the perspective of the ‘Shinobigumi’?

The reason Leeha even thought about getting insurance was based solely on ‘experience’.

Haven’t we seen the thoroughness shown by the Shinobigumi during the guild battle between Byeolcho and Hwahong, as well as in all sorts of other places since then, including national battles?

‘If you think that way, there is only one conclusion.’

A bold trap.

If Chiyo shows up in person, Lee Ha cannot help but appear.

Lee Ha was also momentarily taken aback, but anyway, he knew what Chiyo’s skill was.

‘Because I have overwhelming confidence that I can avoid it. I thought that if she could evade my attacks with a 100% chance, it would be natural for her to have no objection to showing herself in person, and it turned out to be just right.’

Of course, Lee Ha didn’t know that even the events of his quest had been leaked, but that didn’t matter.

It was important to accurately understand Chiyo’s intentions.

Without the experience so far, he would not have been able to predict the possibility that elements of the Shinobi-gumi would appear, or the possibility that she would set a trap and subdue him through Sasuke.

“experience…?”

“Hehe, you thought you were hiding pretty well, right? Well, I hid it well. I also had no idea that you were the leader of the Shinobigumi. “But you are… well, selfish.”

“Selfish?”

“huh. What the Shinobigumi needs to hide is not ‘Chiyo’. ‘Shinobigumi’ itself.”

Chiyo looked like she had been struck while listening to the following explanation.

She is a shinobi-gumi, so how can you think of that?! That was the fundamental difference between Lee Ha and Chiyo.

“Well, even if that’s the case, Leeha – you’ve always been a solo player! “You’re calling someone now-”

“You said something like that to make this bitch go away-”

“Tongue, brother! “Be patient!”

In response to Chiyo’s resistance, Hyein lifted the staff.

Was he planning to just hit Seiji like a stick for his own sake? Ki-jeong managed to stop Hye-in, who was unusually excited.

“Uh huh. Are the people here ordinary people? Chiyo, since you didn’t show your face during the guild war, it feels like you’re a stranger, don’t you think? The thing that almost crushed the star grass was the thought that came out of your head. And you are correct in saying that you are a solo player. But that is a personal matter.”

“You mean it’s different now?”

Chiyo asked, but Lee Ha didn’t answer. He just smiled.

‘Now that you’ve received the quest, you don’t have to deal with personal matters anymore, right?’

A secret order issued from the royal palace of Puviel. It is no longer a ‘private’ matter.

Moreover, what is the composition of the users called as helpers? Excluding Bobae, the members of Byeolcho were the biggest victims of the Shinobigumi.

They were also full of resentment toward Chiyo, or more specifically, toward Sasuke, a member of the Shinobigumi who almost ruined their guild, and toward the person who gave orders to Sasuke.

“Now, do you have any more questions? At this rate, all of the wishes before death will have been fulfilled, so who will die first? “Who wants to die first?”

Leeha lifted up the Black Bass.

Sasuke completely surrendered and Chiyo completely subdued. Black Beth’s muzzle pointed alternately at the foreheads of the two people.

“…Right. That’s how it happened.”

Chiyo quietly opened her mouth.

The expression on his face that had been dead just a moment ago changed in an instant.

“What’s wrong? What are you talking about?”

The following felt eerie. Do you think you can get out of this situation? While Leeha was thinking this, Chiyo was already moving.

The space grab doesn’t just prevent you from leaving your position, it doesn’t mean you can’t move your body.

“〈Sword Dance〉!”

That means you can dance.
