Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 58
Ch 58
However, the Fire Arrow was not meant for Hyein.
It went to… the sky.
As the fire arrow crossed a certain distance, it naturally disintegrated and disappeared.
“What are you doing? Noone can come by using space magic anyway.”
Are reinforcements going to come now? Hyein expected that.
However, since one of Korea’s greatest wizards, Sage Hyein, locked the dimension, few could break through space.
‘No, more than that…… Did she just say that they killed the team blocking the retreat path? Sasuke and the separate group?’
Ram Hwayeon’s behavior was also suspicious, but Ram Hwajeong’s words made more impact than that.
How? Who? Sasuke has long passed level 200.
Someone appeared that could deal with a Kuroninja at level 212?
Although Sasuke was lower leveled than Hyein himself, he was still one of the best. Wouldn’t it take all day just to keep track of his movements?
“If it’s space movement magic…. I know it too, Sage Hyein. Among the wizards who deal with space magic in Middle Earth, who has the highest level? Even though I am at a low level, I don’t lack the knowledge. We have Hwajeong too.”
Ram Hwayeon smiled brightly in contrast to Hyein’s expression.
The frustration was greater than the joy he had earlier. The attitude they had now was not something a cornered person should have, same as the fire arrow earlier.
‘Damn it! Do they have something up their sleeves? No, it shouldn’t matter now.’
Ram Hwayeon did not want to hand over her rights to Hyein herself?
He will just have to give them a taste.
The humiliation that only a woman could feel, a disgrace that could be given in virtual reality that was implemented like reality.
“… Crazy bitches. Power cas-”
” STOP!”
“-ting… What?”
There was a sudden echo on the canyon. A heavy voice resounded through Tiwi Canyon.
“Kak, I-I have a status ailment! Cure!”
“I also have one?”
“Status ailment?”
Hyein hurriedly looked back. A few people fell down.
“Who is it!”
Hyein screamed in a fit.
Who intervened just now…
There was no one better than Ram Hwayeon in their guild, additionally, there was no one who could give status ailments with just a shout.
“N…No. Guild Master-nim!”
“H-hyein-nim! Over-over there!”
“What, these bastards… this…”
A significant number of silhouettes appeared above the canyon.
He did not dare to count them. With a single glance, there should be at least 200, no, 300.
But, what was more surprising was that they were all wearing the same uniform.
Dark-colored clothes with a hint of red.
Engraved in their chest was embroidery in the shape of a yellow dragon.
“Golden Dragon Guild.”
“Damn it! Why are these bastards here!”
Hyein felt annoyed.
Why did such useless bastards appear in this situation? Worst of all, they were the Golden Dragon Guild…
“Why are you here? Do you have any business here?”
Hyein shouted. The fact that such a vast number of people appeared at this time meant that it was not because of hunting.
‘Didn’t they have a small argument with the Ram sisters…?’
Did they come here looking for them as well? To catch the Ram sisters fighting against Byeolcho? No. No matter how I think about it, the timing was odd.
‘The fact that they appeared after Ram Hwayeon shot the Fire Arrow is also…’
An ominous thought appeared in Hyein’s head.
After all, the Golden Dragon Guild in China and the Ram Sisters’ Guild in Hong Kong can communicate easily.
‘We Koreans joined forces… Did they join forces too?’
Hyein gritted his teeth.
If it was just the Ram Sisters’ Guild, they would continue the plan. Although it was not an all-out war, various tactics have been planned and implemented in order to create the current situation.
But the problem was… the Golden Dragon Guild.
They were one of the strongest guilds in Asia, not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of skill.
The Chinese have established a huge number of guilds in Middle Earth. Because they have a large population, it was natural that there were also many guilds gathered.
However, the Chinese have come to a decision on who was the best among them.
Golden Dragon.
A guild that could match even the leading European and American Guilds. It was unavoidable. Because he was in the Golden Dragon Guild.
A shadow jumped from the canyon. A person who came down the canyon at great speed stood next to the Ram sisters.
Hyein recognized him at a glance.
“Pei Wu…”
“Ni hao, nice to meet you. Koreans. I am the Martial Artist Pei Wu.”
The man bowed and politely greeted them.
Fourth in the world ranking. Second place in the Asian ranking. Number one in Chinese ranking.
The Martial Artist Pei Wu stood in front of the Byeolcho Guild.
‘Damn it’
Hyein clenched his teeth.
When an unknown group appeared, he was taken aback for a while, but when he saw Pei Wu, from Golden Dragon Guild, stand next to Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong, he knew that the situation was over.
‘Is that it? Their enmities have already been resolved. And it’s not even a compromise. If they are allies… Did they have a secret agreement? Damn it! Those Rambitches have the money and Pei Wu has the power. Besides, Pei Wu is in need of a lot of money lately… It must have been a perfect fit.’
The seat of a Guild Master is not a position for friendship. Pei Wu, who fell from the third to the fourth in the world ranking, wanted to get back what was his.
It was natural that a lot of human and material resources were needed for that.
What about the Ram Sisters of Hong Kong?
They must have needed the Golden Dragons’ strength in order to protect themselves as they grew.
Besides, there was also Ram Hwajeong, the 9th in the world ranking as well as the ranker Pei Wu, in order to help Ram Hwayeon level up.
They are in a symbiotic relationship. It was only natural for the two guilds to join forces after settling their differences.
There was no idiot that would prefer a profitable relationship.
‘Should I just back off? ……No way. We have worked so hard in order to get here.’
Even if he didn’t ask, Hyein knew why Pei Wu was here.
In fact, the situation had changed just by his appearance.
However, Hyein couldn’t back off. He opened his mouth to try and probe the situation.
“What are you doing here? We don’t have anything to do with the Golden Dragon Guild.”
“Haha, you don’t. However, we can’t allow you to touch Ram Hwajeong-nim and Ram Hwayeon-nim.”
Hyein suddenly had a thought. Pei Wu went straight to the point. Besides ‘nim’?
“They say that Golden Dragon Guild and the Ram Sisters don’t have anything to do with each other-”
“You don’t need to know that.”
Ram Hwayeon cut off Hyein, and with the arrival of their reinforcement, the situation was completely reversed.
“First, leave this place. We don’t want any unnecessary fights. Second, in the future, do not talk about Dale Castle. As long as you follow these two things, you can do whatever you want. If you want to fight using money or declare a guild war, I will accept it. However! I will not tolerate schemes like this.”
Ram Hwayeon took a step forward.
“If you threaten a woman again, I will never forgive you.”
Ram Hwayeon was rather tolerant.
As they heard that there would be no slaughter today, the guild members behind Hyein sighed a breath of relief.
“Hyein-hyungnim. We should just back-”
“Silence. Do not speak.”
Hyein cut off the words of the guild member that approached him. But he knew, it was already too late.
‘Damn it! He’d rather keep the tension… the two conditions were not normal.’
Was Ram Hwayeon that generous? Because she did not want to see blood? No way.
Even a cornered mouse would bite a cat.
Ram Hwayeon knew that if she gave them a way out, they would not have the heart to resist.
‘If I did not cast the Dimension Lock, I would have tried to fight.’
What if Sasuke and the detached team didn’t leave? And what if there was no space containment? Would it have been possible to deal some damage with Blink and Dimensionsional Distortion?
‘Pei Wu is a handful. However, killing Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon would break their momentum-’
There was nothing they could do against Pei Wu, the world’s third ranker.
Obviously, individual fights would be better for Koreans, but with their level, things were completely different. Moreover, the situation was already difficult because the Golden Dragon Guild held the number advantage.
If they fought, they would lose. Definitely.
‘User your head……. your head!’
However, he was not able to think of a solution. Unless reinforcements appeared, the alliance of the guilds with the 4th and 9th world rankers cannot be dealt with by some of Korea’s middle-ranked guilds with lesser numbers.
“Can you give me an answer, Byeolcho’s Guild Master, Sage Hyein?”
Ram Hwayeon smiled. A smile of a perfect winner.
Hyein realized that he did not have a choice but to admit defeat.
“Okay, if it’s like this..”
“Who’s that? Aak!”
A commotion suddenly broke out over the canyon.
“Huh?”
“What?”
Everyone at the bottom of the canyon, including Hyein, Ram Hwayeon and Pei Wu, raised their heads.
Chwaak—!
A stream of blood suddenly spewed out from above.
Even from a distance, it was a lot of blood. However, the blood soon spread like water vapor and disappeared.
‘Dead? It didn’t turn gray, but it disappeared like a mist? What’s going on?’
Hyein looked at Ram Hwayeon and Pei Wu before organizing his thoughts. What was it anyway, was it part of Ram Hwayeon’s plan?
And then, he realized.
‘It was an unexpected situation!’
He was able to tell right away. Ram Hwayeon’s eyes were shaking.
However, Pei Wu and Ram Hwajeong were different. Whatever it was, they were able to recognize it. Even Pei Wu’s expression was somewhat distorted.
“Hwajeong-nim, please get ready.”
“Unni, stand back.”
“Hwajeong-ah? What’s happening? Pei Wu-ssi?”
Ram Hwayeon did not want their momentum to disappear. However, Ram Hwajeong grabbed her sister’s wrist tightly and dragged her.
Ram Hwayeon was flustered by Ram Hwajeong’s attitude. It was the first time she saw her little sister getting confused ever since she started Middle Earth.
And just as the blood mist disappeared, a man appeared above the canyon.
“Heeeey–! So you were all gathered here?”
It was quite a distance, but everyone at the bottom of the canyon was able to recognize him.
There were few users in Middle Earth who used a sword with a red blade.
After all, it was not even a sword. It would have been better to call it a giant saw.
And there was only one person in Middle Earth who used such a weapon.
“A-ag…”
“Berserker……? Igor……”
“Agromni Igor!”
“Third in the World Ranking, Agromni Igor!”
The eyes of hundreds of people gathered in the Tiwi Canyon focused on one place. The Russian Berserker immediately cast a skill.
“Hahaha, you haven’t been bothering me for these past few days, so you bastards are all gathered here…! Bwahahaha!”
Blood Cross!
A bloody cross appeared in the sky. When attacking an area, the damage is reduced depending on the number of targets. Fury!
Hair protruded from the white giant’s body.
He looked like a werewolf. His movement and attack speed increased in exchange for continuously decreasing HP.
“Thanks for the food! (Приятного аппетита!, 잘 먹겠습니다! Bon appetit! Ittadakimasu!)”
Kaaaa—-!
A roar that was of a completely different nature from Pei Wu.
At the same time as the cry of a beast, the Giant, with a height of 2m and 83cm, and weight of 190kg, disappeared.
“Shit.”
The Martial Artist Pei Wu went up the canyon in a single jump.
The first person to react to Igor was Pei Wu. The fourth-ranked Martial Artist ran without looking back, and the next person to react was….
“Byeolcho, Dragon Knight, Seogwang! Attack! The goals are Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong! We only need to kill the two of them and we will achieve our goal!”
It was the sage Hyein.
