Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“Yes…? T-that… That’s why he didn’t die. In fact, isn’t it good to say that the damage is completely ignored? It means that no matter how high the attack power is, he would come back to life.

Everyone else was stunned and were at a loss for words.

Being fraudulent should be done in moderation, how will they fight against a person with multiple lives?

“Still, if we kill him multiple times, he will eventually die, right? If I had known, I would have shot him in the arm or leg first, not chest. Even if he survives several times, he wouldn’t be able to do anything with his arms and legs cut off-”

It would have been the best course of action. Otherwise, it would have just be like beating an ottogi.

The ability was close to fraudulent, however, for Leeha, who already dealt with it, its weakness was immediately identified

Of course, that was only arrogance. “Kikis, I have seen Leeha-nim’s ‘mas.sive’ attack power, however, he didn’t do anything to you.”

“Yes?”

“It’s I sealed his skills and he couldn’t use anything.”

“What? Ah, that- I see……”

He did not use any skills to face, no, to run away from Leeha. It was because Biyemi’s venom-stained resin had permeated and sealed his skills.

In the king’s bedroom, he showed a trick of changing positions with Tale using a skill close to the basics, but it did not cooldown, so there was no skill that could be used when he dealt with Leeha.

In other words, Leeha was able to win because Biyemi tied Petyr’s hands and feet..

“Kikis, if Petyr had been such a week guy, I wouldn’t be here right now. Most importantly, you shouldn’t look down on those who have [Legendary]-grade items. The quest needed to get that item was-”

“L-legend! Really? You barely got the [Legendary] item at that time? Even now, the number of Legendary-grade items that have been revealed could be counted in one had-”

Shin Nara asked in shock.

What she was saying now was that it happened in the early days of Middle Earth, when only one month had passed since it started. In other words, it meant that only five months have passed in Middle Earth time.

Leeha had not known the game yet at that time, but those who have been playing since the early days of Middle Earth could not helped but be amazed. They compared their situations at that time.

If they compared themselves, who got special or rare-grade items, how far ahead were those who got legendary-grade ones?

“Because what is known by the public is different from the real situation. Who would want to reveal their treasure?. Even Shin Nara-nim didn’t reveal all the specifications of that sword, right?”

“Ah- t-that…”

“Kikis, it’s the same for anyone.”

When Shin Nara panicked, Biyemi smiled and looked at Leeha. No,to be precise, he was looking at the leather case containing [Black Bass], which leaned on Leeha’s chair.

As if he was saying, ‘Isn’t it a Legend item as well?’.

“C-cough, Petyr isn’t even amusing, his item is a big deal. Anyway. Was the quest condition to get that item a betrayal?”

“That’s right. Middle Earth gave such a quest. It is described ‘You don’t need friends in the world of assassins. Sacrifice your most precious thing.”

Biyemi’s expression darkened. In light of the word ‘sacrifice’ and the current situation, there was only one case they could think of.

“Maybe that sacrifice……?”

“Forced character deletion.”

Biyemi sighed coldly.

“That’s crazy! That’s nonsense! How can he do that?!”

“Kikis, it is what it is, Halihali-nim. I filed a lawsuit against Goople after being harmed, but I seriously thought about it- there was no way to win. Obviously, before accepting the quest, the game system gave enough notice and warnings that I could get beaten using the game system. I just thought I was going to win…”

Biyemi also tried to sacrifice someone. However, he lost.

Of course, everyone knew who that ‘someone’ was.

“Petyr won.”

They were after each other. However, Biyemi, then ‘Nguyen’, was defeated by Petyr and his character disappeared forever.

“It was a trap. Surprise~ That was the first time I realized that that crazy guy was so meticulous.”

“Then, rather than betrayal-”

“Right. Strictly speaking, it was not betrayal. I was deceived and lost. I didn’t want to give up, so I crawled up again. Kikis.”

Biyemi smiled lightly, but that smile did not feel light. They could feel the assassin’s tenacity, which made the rankers in the top 100 tremble at least once.

Leeha could now understand why Biyemi, a magician, was so agile and skillful in his movements.

It must be because he had embodied the skills he had from the days he was a miyaw assassin, which could not be evaluated simply with stats.

Move-casting must also be one of the skills he had honed that way.

It was no wonder that he, who had already been in the ranks of the best, was leveling up at an unimaginable speed.

“Who are you going to get revenge? Now that you are a lizardia, revenge is-” “This is still Middle Earth isn’t it? It is a world made by gamers. I naturally want to get my revenge on Petyr, and all the guys who gave me such a quest. I also participated in this royal palace quest in the hope that he would get involved. Fortunately, it was sooner than expected. Did all of you get the achievement?”

Biyemi exposed his teeth.

“What achievement? What achievement did you get?”

“Halihali-nim got it too, but he is pretending not to know. It’s [Midnight Circus’ Target].”

“Ah, t-that. What should I say? Did all of you get it?”

“I didn’t!”

Ram Hwayeon exclaimed. On the other hand, Shin Nara and Tale nodded their heads.

“It might be because Petyr did not know Ram Hwayeon’s name. Me, Shin Nara-nim, and Tale-nim’s names should have appeared. And of course, Halihali-nim, who dealt the final blow…”

“No, wait. He brought up revenge earlier. Bu the sudden mention of Midnight Circus-”

Shin Nara was naturally curious.

“He is the one I have to pay back. Just like Sacred Knights’ leader is an NPC, Midnight Circus’ leader is also an NPC. He was the one who gave me and Petyr that quest.”

In other words, he promised to get revenge agains Middle Earth’s game system. Biyemi wanted to get revenge against the whole Midnight Circus.

“I will destroy them all. No matter how many comes. That’s how many I will kill.” The lizardia’s voice spread gloomily.

It was as Biyemi said from the start.

The story related to Petyr, Midnight Circus, and Biyemi was not a pleasant one.

Because it was related to the revenge of a user who got everything stolen from him.

After a small celebration(?) and talk in the conference room, everyone went back to their positions to stand guard again. Leeha went up to the central tower, which was his original spot, breathed in the night breeze and pondered Biyemi’s story.

‘As expected, Vietnamese people are persistent.’

This was a fact that could be seen by looking at the records of the Vietnam War.

Now he knew why he chose to be a ‘posion’-related job rather than a regular wizard. It was because he knew it well, at the same time, it was to deal with Petyr.

‘There’s no way there’s a skill neutralization similar to poison. Oh, really.’

After all, he was no longer dependent on skills.

Most of his attacks were normal attacks. However, even Leeha cannot attack without skills.

Most importantly, in order to take advantage of sniping, he had to ‘see’ the target.

‘What if he wasn’t poisoned by Biyemi? I may have been able to do nothing against Petyr earlier. Because I won’t be able to see him. I must find a way to lift the darkness.’

The duration of mana clairvoyance was not that long.

The cooldown was relatively shot, however, what would be the point if it couldn’t be used at important moments. He should be able to spot enemies even in the dark.

Of course, there was an item that could do that in the real world.

‘Night vision……. I should find a way to recreate it in Middle Earth. And what next? Also.’

And next would be sight. The development of scope.

Right now, the end of the palace was barely visible using the Eagle’s Eye. If he couldn’t rely on Eagle’s Eye, it would take some time to aim.

‘If I could aim properly, I could hit. The I could instinctively feel the calculation of trajectory like I am breathing. But the invisible location is the problem.’

Even the 444m scope attached on the hummingbird was not enough. In the end, Biyemi’s obsession was supposed to be because of the [Legendary]-grade item. The one that Leeha is currently using is the [Legendary Black Bass].

‘I should make a scope that is suitable to its rank.’

A scope that could cover the distance of 2000m is required.

‘I should also make a bipod that could remove the shaking when aiming.’

Although one hurdle had been crossed, Leeha felt deeply that there was still a long way to go.

He now had a lot of money he’s never had before, including his share on Dale Castle. However, should this money be spent on getting stronger?

In order to earn hospital expenses, which was Leeha’s original purpose, some of it would have to be exchange into real world money.

If so, what should he do to find the most efficient way of using the remaining funds?

As he went crazy with that thought, he remembered the unfamiliar object in his bag.

“Ah, right. Item!”

It was time to open Petyr’s second gift(?).

“As he is ranked 5th, he should have spent on expensive items.”

As he took out Petyr’s items from his bag, Leeha grumbled. He couldn’t find glamor in the item even if he washed his eyes. It was a bracelet made of twisted leather that had been maintained for a very long time.

It had a luxurious feel due to the unique subtle color of the leather, however, it did not look like an ‘expensive’ item. Of course, it was only what it looked like.

Leeha was looking forward to it even as he grumbled.

‘If it’s from an assassin, maybe it’s an agility item? Please be an agility item!’

[ Rare Bracelet Made of Algari Goat’s Leather]

Defense: 200

Effect: Marking Skill nullification, Increase jumping power by 300%, agility +13

Requirement: Agility 700 or higher

Description: A bracelet made from the leather of Algari Goat that inhabits the highest highlands in the world. The reason why they haven’t gone extinct yet is because hunters have not been able to pursue them.

“Agility! ……But its rare. No, by the way, what is this rare item?!”

He thought it would be a special item, but it was rare. Leeha was a little disappointed at the low rating, but when he looked closely, he no longer was.

‘Marking nullification! It could be obtained from wandering merchants-’

A skill that marks the target’s location on the map, marking. If Leeha had not been able to kill Petyr, he would have been pursued by marking.

‘Now that I think about it, wouldn’t it have been better to put a mark on him and find out their stronghold? No, it would have been impossible in the first place’

If he did not die, he would have been wearing the bracelet. And marking would have been nullified.

He also like that its defense was 200, and it increased agility by 13, but the additional option piqued his interest.

‘Increase in jumping power…’

Does it mean literally jumping high and far? Did Middle Earth really need this kind of ability?

‘They’re assassins, there’s a lot of work that needed to climb over fortress walls…’

It was still better than nothing. Leeha wore the goat’s bracelet on his left arm. He somehow felt his knee joints getting stronger.

“A heroic-grade necklace, a rare-grade bracelet, a legendary weapon… and a worn-out coat.”

Leeha laughed at the unbalance items he wore. When will an alternative armor be available?
