Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 504

“What?!”

“W-what’s going on?”

“Oh, no—it’s nothing. “I’m sorry, Cardinal.”

Lee Ha had to hastily apologize to the cardinal. The Vatican, without even realizing it! Kid’s words were so surprising that I almost screamed.

-What does that mean? Luger is dead? To whom? why?

-I don’t know either. But… isn’t there some suspicion?

-What did you say you were doing? Are you saying he died while hunting?

-Haaah, you don’t remember?

Kid sighed as Leeha made a mistake.

As frustrating as it was, it was the same as below. What on earth is going on with Luger? At least since Leeha met Luger, I have never heard of his death.

How dare he die so suddenly? Kid knows that too?

-What is it! Say it quickly!

―Recall what Luger last said he was doing.

-If it’s the last time… When the three of us parted – uh, I mean, after coming out of the underground city, I guess –

Leeha’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

The cardinal who was ahead turned his head.

“Gwae, are you okay? If you have any pain anywhere, please tell me. I don’t have the same divine power as His Holiness, but it will alleviate some of the pain…”

Leeha’s face was distorted enough to make the Cardinal worry. At this moment, Leeha was able to perfectly share Kid’s anxiety.

When you parted ways with Luger, what were the last words you heard from him?

‘He said he was going to find the magic bullet…. the magic bullet gunner.’

And now, he is dead.

Could a normal monster from the New World be able to kill him? It won’t be easy since you have teleportation and return scrolls.

PK due to space locking?

Due to Luger’s personality, there may be quite a bit of resentment here and there, but it is unlikely that something like that will happen deep in the New World.

Of course, the possibilities had to be narrowed down to one.

‘…I found it.’

The person who killed Luger was the magic gunner.

To put it another way, Luger was found. The magic gunner. Lee Ha chewed his lips.

* * *

-You found it.

-It is reasonable to think so.

There was a reason why Kid’s voice was stiff.

Not long ago, Lee Ha also confirmed the location of the three musketeers. I remembered where Kid was and where Luger was.

The thought came to mind and Leeha immediately asked Kid.

―If you trace the area from where Luger was yesterday morning, you will probably see―

―No. I know the last place.

―…What does that mean? You saw Luger’s last known location?

Luger’s final location, i.e. the place of Luger’s death. Where is that place? This is where 《Magic Bullet》 is located.

Leeha asked, but Kid did not answer.

―Kid…d?

-I’ll go first.

-Now, wait a minute! Where?! You should at least tell me the place! And by what means? What do you mean you’re going alone? I heard Luger is dead!

―You don’t remember the time with Rhinodilo? It is natural that he would have died while running wild alone. I don’t.

-No, wait a minute! It’s not something to think about so easily――

Then that’s enough.

―Kid! Kid!

Lee Ha gave strength to the whisper, but there was no further response from Kid.

The following thought for a moment. If you use the Three Musketeers’ chain teleport, you can immediately go to Kid’s side.

Should I fly like that?

‘No, no, no. Kid hasn’t moved yet. That’s probably not where you are now. Rather than chasing it first and missing it—’Let

‘s wait. Until the Kid’s place changed to a much more obscure and sinister name.

Fortunately, the location of the three musketeers appears in much more detail than adding a regular friend.

And since Middle Earth was a game, it was quite predictable that there would be a magic gunner in a land with a clearly ‘bad-looking name’.

While Leeha was thinking for a moment, Kid had already disabled the trio’s teleportation.

The following made me feel angry.

‘stupid! What can you do alone? And that too in [rapid fire]!’

Although I hadn’t thought about my future plans in my head, the feelings of anxiety and nervousness did not disappear immediately.

Luger is dead. How did he die? Did the magic bullet gunner shoot the magic bullet?

or not?

In what terrain, at what distance, and what weapon was used to kill Ruger? Did Luger fight back? Did I get a kick out of it?

‘Let’s assume that the gunner of the magic bullet is me.’

The following was confident in its own way.

If Luger and I were to fight 1:1, I didn’t think I would lose unless I was surprised.

Above all, the difference in range is overwhelming.

‘But if the location is revealed.’

I can’t guarantee.

Luger is a man capable of rendering overwhelming range useless.

Currently, Lee Ha has succeeded in sniping at a maximum distance of 4km, but securing visibility is absolutely important for ultra-long-range sniping at that level.

In fact, wasn’t the reason Leeha shot the brass golem from a distance of 4km because he was shooting from the top of the mountain, with nothing blocking his view, at the top of the mountain on the other side?

Luger, well aware of the weaknesses of long-distance sniping, will slowly approach like a snake stalking its prey in terrain where concealment is sufficient and completely explode the spot where Leeha is standing.

‘Because I have enough ability to do that.’

Therefore, Luger’s death was not an incident that could be dismissed as simply ‘confirmation of death’.

The most important thing is ‘under what circumstances’ he died. Kid put it so simply that I was actually worried about him.

Kid is so smart that Chiyo calls him the ‘head’ of the Three Musketeers. There is no way he hasn’t thought about the things Lee Ha has been thinking.

Even though the fact was understandable, Luger’s incident was shocking enough to make Kid worry.

“This is the place.”

“Ah yes?”

“This is the head office of our Holy See.”

“iced coffee! Yeah, that’s right. yes. right. “Storage storage.”

Leeha, who had momentarily forgotten where he was heading, finally arrived at the Vatican’s storage facility under the guidance of the cardinal.

Although the city is small enough to be a country, it may be because of the power given by the name Holy Church, but it was not an underground space like the treasure trove of Puviel’s royal palace.

The huge, plated door was proud of its sturdiness before Leeha’s eyes.

“It’s big….”

“That’s right. “There are items left behind by past Popes who performed miracles, as well as items said to have been given directly by God.”

“Is there such a thing? “If I ever take something like that-”

“But I don’t know what it is.”

“yes?”

“I only heard about it for the management of this place. “Maybe someone else has already taken it.”

The cardinal said with a smile.

Is it true?

Is it just something that comes down like a legend? Lee Ha tilted his head while listening to the ambiguous NPC.

“Please feel free to look around and let us know if you find something you like. “I will be in front of this door.”

“Oh, yes.”

The cardinal opened the golden door. The following walked into the Vatican’s storage room.

‘Indeed…’

Aside from actually using divine power and the fact that the Pope is the representative of God on this earth, why can Ezwen show his power on the continent?

Even though I couldn’t even understand the entire treasure trove of Puviel’s royal palace, I could at least know that the Vatican’s treasury was much larger than that.

“I heard it from Ju, but after hearing the cardinal’s words, I feel shaken again.”

The well-categorized, like a large supermarket, may also be the reason why the place looks spacious.

Below, I started looking for items.

From what Ju had told me, there were two items recommended to me as the most necessary items. What else is useful?

* * *

“It sure looks nice. “It’s sorted by grade.”

After briefly seeing a few rare items right after entering the door, there were heroic items lined up on the left and right of the passage Leeha was currently walking through.

Even if I turn my head to the left, I can’t see the wall clearly. Even when I turn my head to the right, I can’t see the wall.

No matter which of the two you went into, the 7-tier shelves were crammed with items. I couldn’t even remember how many shelves and corners I had passed by.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was every weapon, every armor, and every accessory suitable for every occupation that existed in Middle Earth.

‘It’s crazy, really. Since there are so many Hero level and above – I guess that means if you go a little further, there will also be Legendary level. No, maybe…’

There may be items that have only been seen once so far. The following recalled the item that revived Blaugrun.

Mythic level item, Easter egg.

There may be other items with ridiculous abilities like Easter eggs.

Plus, isn’t it much easier to find?

What if they are displayed by grade like this?

There is no need to rummage through items in front. All you have to do is run to the back and pick up the item. Of course, their level will be the highest.

“Okay, leave everything aside in front! “Let’s search from behind, too!”

The following ran. Regardless of stamina. Until you reach the end! On and on, on and on!

But there was no end. It doesn’t matter because you can run even if your stamina is completely depleted, but what happened below was absurd.

‘…This big?’

Run and run again.

The shelves passing by next to me were strangely hypnotic.

Pure white floor, pure white ceiling, shelves of the same size lined up at equal intervals, and endless items on each shelf… No matter how much I ran, I kept seeing the same scene.

Even if I ran while looking left and right, the strange thing was the same.

Clearly, the items glanced at in front of the shelf were changing. It’s not like I’m running in place, so what on earth is going on?

“No, I’m going to die. What is this?”

After running for a while, Lee Ha eventually had no choice but to stop for a moment.

Does it make sense to say that there is no end? No matter how Middle Earth is, there must be limits to space.

Leeha suppressed his irritation and picked up an item on the shelf in front of him.

〈Unbreakable knife treated with rare magic alloy〉

Attack power: 670 ~ 680

Category: Melee, one-handed weapon

Effect: Dexterity + 11, critical strike rate increased by 19%, 〈Explosion〉 activation with a certain probability

Requirements: Strength 250 or more , Dexterity 800 or higher

Description: A knife made of material treated with magic alloy. Even if you stab it into a stone golem, the blade does not break, and thanks to the magic treatment engraved on the sword’s face, explosive magic is sometimes activated. In addition to its extremely practical use as it requires no repair costs, it is also a popular knife on the black market due to its high aesthetic value.

“Eh?”

The dagger engraved with unrecognizable patterns confused Lee Ha’s head.

Rare level? Suddenly it’s rare? The rare items came in and disappeared before even passing 10 shelves. Everything I checked after that was hero level?!

‘Nonsense. Now, rare levels are coming out again? If you’re going to mix them up, why did you categorize them like this?

For a moment, Leeha’s spine tingled. Mix it? That can’t be possible. Lee Ha looked back.

“Aha… That’s how it comes out.”

The golden door I first entered was right nearby.

I walked a little further forward and looked at the items. Some dogs definitely looked familiar. Because it was an item I had checked earlier.

‘It’s a concept like a round trip ticket. No, it’s still the Vatican, but it’s so cruel!’

If you run towards the end, you will end up back at the beginning!

Is this a lesson to not be overly greedy and to find what you want appropriately?

If you get greedy here, you will only waste a lot of stamina and get nothing.

Lee Ha nodded and walked leisurely. Kid’s position was the same as before.

Because I know that Leeha will chase after me if I move rashly, I will not go straight to Luger’s final location unless Leeha logs out.
