Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

You have to counterattack at the right time when the Harpies are rushing in, but that’s not an easy task.

However, if you only consist of ranged dealers or wizards, you will not be able to tank.

They have the destructive power to separate the heads and bodies of AD dealers with one claw attack that surges through rapid flight.

Therefore, unless it was a well-coordinated 5-person pool party, the only thing they wouldn’t even dare to do was hunt harpies.

“But if you look closely, Middle Earth also seems like an 19+ game. Isn’t that right, Mr. Blaugrun?”

[Kyu?]

“But – what is that over there? The harpy has a female upper body. That… huh? Shouldn’t the center and there have to be covered more clearly? Just cover up that part with a feather or something like that.”

[Kwow! Kyauu, kyakkyu, kyauuuu?]

< Isn\'t it strange that you care about such things >

“Hmm! Don’t act like you’re just scolding me when you can’t even speak human language yet. And that’s what I see from here too, but I don’t know what it’s like in reality.”

Lee Ha felt embarrassed for some reason and lifted the Black Bass connected to the stabilizer and stood up to take a shooting stance.

The level of ordinary harpies ranged from 170 to 185. Ju’s information was that the level of the field boss would exceed 210.

‘I experienced it once during Kuzgunak’s rest, but it’s a really ridiculous distance.’

Just because it’s a scope doesn’t mean it allows you to see it right in front of your nose.

When viewed at a distance of 2,500 m with the maximum magnification of 30x, it appears similar to seeing a distance of approximately 83 m with the naked eye.

This is a street where people with bad eyesight have a hard time recognizing faces.

“What’s more, it’s 2,500m. Mr. Blaugrun, do you know what? The distance from the top of Bukaksan Mountain to the top of Inwangsan Mountain is 1.7km in a straight line? In fact, sniping from this distance is really crazy.”

One particularly large harpy was caught in the sub-instantaneous scope.

As soon as it appears, it shows a pattern of soaring into the air, spinning, and slamming down like an aerobatics.

‘It’s up… Harpy field boss < Aelo >.’

The reason the warning window did not appear was because the distance between the two was that far.

Lee Ha slowly caught his breath.

“Joint Fixation: Lower Side.”

Kiiiiing―――

Iha felt the roots of mana growing from his thighs, crooks, and ankles.

This feeling of being connected to the earth and supporting yourself firmly.

‘With this, the maximum range is 2,600m. The distance between Harpy boss Aello and me is approximately… 2,630… no, 2,640 meters.’

Sniping from a distance of about 2.6km.

Moreover, the person standing at the top of one peak must shoot the harpy at the top of the opposite peak.

‘The wind is also quite strong… This peak alone reaches 11 m/s. It will affect the orbit. In terms of the condition of the trees, the opposite peak, wind direction, and wind speed are similar to this place. Is that a good thing? Sheesh, click adjustment.’

Ti-Geek- Ti-Geek- Ti-Gig-

Iha’s hand moved cautiously.

To avoid touching the gun barrel strongly even during horizontal or vertical adjustment.

‘Click adjustment complete.’

Whiiiiing, another wind passed by, blowing through Iha’s bangs.

The good news among the misfortunes is that Black Beth is not a one-shot, one-kill quest.

All you have to do is kill it with one hit, so it doesn’t matter if you miss completely. Grazing would actually be the worst shot.

Even while feeling the speed and direction of the wind and calculating the trajectory of the bullet, Lee Ha did not miss the enemy beyond the scope.

Because it is magnified 30 times, the change in gaze increases with even the slightest movement.

If you mistakenly chase after a creature with such swift flight and acrobatic movements, you may end up missing it altogether.

‘In times like this, you have to be calm. This pressure that erodes confidence is the biggest enemy of sniping.’

Lee Ha recalled what he said to Ram Hwayeon not long ago. What should I do in this situation?

‘Relax your back… slowly… ‘Snipe’.’

Following the hardened lower body, Lee Ha’s elbows, shoulders, and Black Bess also became harder.

Current maximum range – a whopping 3,640m.

The range doesn’t just increase.

It simply means increasing the force loaded into the bullet and sending it farther.

It was a distance that could be reached without a snipe, but there was one reason why Lee Ha used the skill.

‘To eliminate the shaking of the trajectory.’

Because strong bullets are less affected by wind.

The index finger below moved very slowly. It was only a moment, but I had already memorized its movement pattern. When is the moment of certainty?

―――Fuuu――――――

‘It rose up again and then came down… right there. From there, it’s 5 seconds again, right?’

――Haaaaa――――

‘I know.’

Click.

A bullet faster than sound spewed out from the muzzle of a gun aimed at Aelo, the field boss of the flapping harpies.

Neither the wind speed of 10 m per second nor the distance of 2,500 m are calculated as below.

There was no way Aelo, who had a 5-second interval between his next moves, could have avoided the bullets below, which flew in 3.16 seconds.

It was after some time that a faint smile appeared on Iha’s face, which did not let go of its hold.

* * *

[Black Beth’s Seal – 4]

quest completed.

Skill – Learned multiple bullets.

[Black Beth’s Seal – 5]

quest has been created.

[Kyuut-! Kyuuuuut—!]

“Kick, but your partner’s skills aren’t that bad, are they?”

Iha shrugged his shoulders at Blaugrun in a half-humbly, half-joking tone.

The turquoise bronze dragon was sitting on Iha’s head, flapping its wings and shaking its body.

Hit with one shot from a distance of over 2,500m.

For most people, it is a distance that cannot even reach zero. Even if you fire ten or twenty rounds, it will be difficult to form a group of bullets.

“The quest will be level 20 and increase in 500m increments anyway! What is ‘Datan~Dutan~’? It sounds like some kind of African music.”

Lee Ha chuckled as he looked at the notification window.

Although there was joy in completing the quest and learning new skills, the face was not as bright as it should have been.

[Kyu?]

“Why are you doing that? That’s because it’s a shame. The harpy field boss, which is difficult for others to even see, is known from the information guild to the exact regen timing, and from a safe distance like this, baaaaagh! I caught it, but I can’t actually root it.”

Iha picked up the Black Bass again and looked at the peak on the other side through the scope. Aelo’s body, which had already fallen to the ground and turned gray, came into view.

‘It’s a straight line or 2.5km, to get there, you have to go down this peak, pass through the canyon, and climb that peak again… Above all, it takes 20 minutes more time for the joint fixation: lower skill to be canceled. Ha, it’s really hard to make money.’

Since the rooting hasn’t started, the corpse won’t disappear right away, but it won’t wait until then.

“It’s not a space saved as a crystal ball, and it’s not like you can use Blink dozens of times until it lands where you want. Do you think Hyein could go through something like this in one go?”

[Kkyun! Wow!]

As Iha muttered to herself in regret, Blaugrun hurriedly said something to Iha.

“I know you won’t understand even if you say that anyway. Oh, Mr. Blaugrun, can’t you use some magic? Just like I used detox and heal last time, it would be nice to have some space movement magic.”

[Kkyukkyun? Kyuakkyukkyun?]

I should have looked at Blaugrun’s expression a little more closely.

I should have tried harder to understand what the Bronze Dragon meant.

< really? Do you want that?” Lee Ha continued chattering enthusiastically, not even knowing that this was the case. Little by little, turquoise mana was gathering into Blaugrun’s body. “Then Mr. Blaugrun pushes me over there! Move it, root it quickly, and then—” [Kyu, kyu.] Blaugrun smiled, interrupting the next sentence. < Okay, I\'ll send it to you. >

It was then that Leeha’s body, unable to properly check the skill window or the quest window, disappeared.

Shook-

“Huh?”

The peak that reappeared was 2.5km away. Lee Ha felt a little dizzy, but was more embarrassed by the changed surroundings and unfamiliar voices.

“Kirururut! This is a human!”

“Kirut, kiririt!” “Where did humans appear?”

“uh? Huh?”

Flap- flutter-!

The harpies squawked, speaking human language.

The size of the harpies fluttering and soaring into the air is over 2m at best.

These monsters looked like dots from 2.5km away, but in reality, they were definitely bigger monsters than most users.

“Kyaaaaa―― Take your feet away from your mother, you lowly human!”

“Kirit, kiaaaaa—! Insolent human being!”

“Uh, what- what, now, wait a minute, harpies!”

Iha saw something spread under his feet like a carpet. Of course, it was the body of Aelo, the Harpies’ field boss.

“Why don’t you hurry and get out of the way, you look like a lowly man!”

“Well, I’ll get out of the way right away. I want to get out of the way, but no, my legs are-”

Joint fixation: It’s impossible to even disarm the skill in the lower part for 20 minutes. As Iha stopped moving, the harpies’ expressions became even more vicious.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!” This is what men are like! You know how to tell sweet lies!”

“All men are enemies. Regardless of race, all men must be killed!”

“that’s right! He must have hurt my mother! Kiririt, kkiririt–!”

Flap- flutter-!

The harpies flew a little further into the air.

The number is a whopping fourteen!

Iha, the person involved, knew best that he was trying to grab and rip off his entire body, which could not move while accelerating.

“No, it’s true that I harmed your mother, but…”

[What? Kyuakkyak?]

Blaugrun smiled innocently and moved his wings on Iha’s shoulder.

“What do you think, did you do well? Don’t smile the same way! Send it back! That’s not the situation right now-”

Kyaaaaa—-!

I cried and shouted, but my voice could not spread properly.

The moment the much louder roar of the harpies cut through the air, Iha eventually had no choice but to make a choice.

“―Jenjaaaang, what should I do when I can’t even move! 〈Soul Link〉! Kid, kill them all!”

The Soul Link skill has been activated.

Your soul mate will be summoned for 30 minutes.

Your soulmate’s current level is 66.

Weighted by 100% of user level.

The current level of your enhanced soulmate is 241.

Kuwoaaaa―――――――――――!

As soon as the kid appeared, his whole body lit up and he roared. Red mana particles were gathering in front of the brown bear’s snout.

Thanks to the kid’s massive size and roar, the momentum of the harpies rushing towards Iha slowed down.

Lee Ha did not miss the motion of stopping in the air.

Iha puts Black Bess back on his back and quickly takes out an item from his bag.

“Mr Blaugrun! Really, if you play pranks like this next time, will you get scolded?”

[Kkyun! Kkukkikukkiku!]

〈What are you saying! Who asked you to send it to me?”

Lee Ha couldn’t help but laugh as he saw Blaugrun’s cheeks pout.

Of course it was leisure. The leisure of the strong.

Fourteen rushing harpies. This means that there are fourteen monsters similar to level 175 and below.

It would be hard for an average user to handle even one…

“I’m not this embarrassed! Why?! I’ve experienced so many things worse than this!”
