Chapter 676

Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 676

“At first glance, it seems to have multiple limbs and a decent speed but- cut.”

Four tentacles burrowed into one of the Yamato users.

“What the!?”

“Insane. Did the ‘Warden of Bobae’ just die?”

He was an outsider user, as renowned as any martial artist or mage, yet he couldn’t even understand what attack had killed him.

[Mong! Mongmong!]

“Don’t underestimate us! This is no ordinary slime!”

“Defense skill! Start with a barrier! [Great Shield]!”

Whoosh, an emerald barrier covered them.

They continued to move swiftly, but Jellypong maintained a constant distance, never falling behind.

[Mongmong! Myooong~!]

Kaang! Kaangkaang!

Kakakakakang–!

And then, hundreds of tentacles began to strike the barrier. The shield started to crack instantly, making a shattering sound.

“The shield, it’s cracking!”

“Insane! No way! Including physical defense, it should withstand cumulative damage up to 30,000-“

Before the sentence was even finished, with a massive rupture, their shield shattered into pieces.

Panic-stricken, Yamato’s users either sliced through Jellypong’s tentacles or dodged them, but the number of tentacles stretching out from Jellypong’s body easily exceeded a hundred.

Avoiding all of them was impossible.

“If it can only withstand 30,000 in cumulative damage, it’s only natural it would break.”

Amid the chaos and screams, this is what Leeha, fighting the Yamato members, last comprehended.

[Legendary Meta-Water Spirit: ‘Jellypong’ (Agility Type)]

Attack Power: (User’s Strength * 50%) + Agility + (Intelligence * 30%)

Type: Close-to-Mid Range

Effect: When accompanying in the area, increases user’s health by 10%.

Requirement: Achievement [The one who Revived Source of the Sea]

Description: A water spirit containing the essence of a sea god, not just any water spirit, but born from the dwelling of a deity, including the essence of a sea god. Whatever the user desires, the Meta-Water Spirit will grant it.

‘My agility right now is through the roof.’

Each of the tentacles stretching from Jellypong inflicted a minimum damage of around 4,300.

A mere 30,000 in cumulative damage wouldn’t even withstand ten strikes from these tentacles.

Considering the number of tentacles and their speed of attack that sprouted from the body of Jellypong?

‘Thinking that a mere barrier could stop Jellypong was wishful thinking.’

“Attack the core! It’s not the tentacles that are the problem!”

“Split that slime’s body![Thrust Pierce]!”

Screeeeech-!

Someone shouted in the midst of chaos, aiming for the body of Jellypong.

‘Agility type’ not being ‘Strength type’, its attack might be high but its health is inevitably low.

[Well, that’s what I am here for.

[Absolute Barrier]]–!

Kaaaaang...!

What awaited Yamato users’ vengeful stabbing was the breaking of their spear tips.

“Uh...what?”

[Mong! Mongmong!]

“Nice, Blaugrunn-ssi!”

Another group from Yamato, Blaugrunn, who was in charge of the center, was observing the state of the little ones to the left and Jellypong to the right, assisting them with spells like buffs and shields.

If previously he felt like a mere warrior performing in battles, now, after journeying with him, he had gained a bit of a ‘commander’s’ perspective.

Making Bluebeard’s staff unusable was essential. Bluebeard had never caught one of his bullets ‘by hand’ before. Meaning, without the staff, Bluebeard might be able to dodge but not block the attacks.

But how could he ensure the desired outcome?

Bluebeard was not likely to just stand still.

[Leeha, Bluebeard is approaching.]

[Boom!]

“Could the [Leeha Squad], capable of taking on over a hundred Yamatos, have struggled against Bluebeard?

Even in his dragon form, Blaugrunn was visibly tense.

Facing Bluebeard, whom even Ancient-class dragons would concede a step to, it was natural for Blaugrunn, who was still but a Juvenile-class dragon, to be anxious.

[Leeha?]

Blaugrunn’s call went unanswered.

The trail of Bluebeard, visible between the massive forms of the [Leeha Squad]. How should one confront such a foe?

Leeha knew that the moment to restrain Bluebeard’s movements was when he aimed at him. Hastily pulling the trigger would instantly unravel the taut string of tension, launching him forward like an arrow shot.

“A headbutt from Blaugrunn could buy us one turn. But if we do that... it could be fatal.”

It was the last resort. Neither Blaugrunn’s magic nor his physical prowess alone would suffice to fend off Bluebeard.

Above all, it wasn’t wise to make beings, not players, who are almost akin to NPCs, confront Le directly when they have just one life to live.’So, what’s the next step?

How could we make Bluebeard block with his staff? Leeha took a deep breath. It wasn’t a perfect plan. But the start of every operation begins only once the trigger is pulled.

“Hoaahhh!”

Before the gunshot could echo, Bluebeard had raised his staff. However, his face twisted grotesquely soon after.

Thwack!

The bullet tore through the side of the target.

“Bahhh!”

“Not yet, once more!”

Before the echo of the gunshot faded, Leeha quickly pulled the bolt again. Bluebeard was still glaring at Leeha with a distorted face.

It was because he felt something different about Leeha’s actions.

Pulling the bolt, aiming the front – all was usual up to that point.

But the moment of pulling the trigger? The sudden twist and throw of the Black Bass as if flinging it far away!

“......

‘I’ve seen such an attack before.’”

The gunfire covered the grove of Bluebeard.

From somewhere, another scream burst out.

But the short scream disappeared in an instant, followed by massive confusion.

“Igor! Igor!”

“Everyone, protect Igor! Surround him!”

“It’s, too late! Igor’s already—”

“What? What’s this?”

Leeha didn’t even glance at the site of sudden chaos.

He didn’t need to look to know the outcome through the system notification popping up before him.

[Achievement: Ranker Hunt (B+) – 3rd Place, “Agropni Igor”]

[Effect not applied since the achievement is already acquired.]

“Igor is dead! Virtue Knights, fall back to defend against Faust! Kijung, Lark! You two, hurry to Bluebeard!”

How should one confront Bluebeard? Leeha’s answer was to utilize reinforcements.

“It would have been impossible before.”

Killing Igor to disrupt the balance?

Had Leeha turned even slightly, Bluebeard would have instantly discerned his intent.

Then, he wouldn’t have moved in such a tensely charged state.”

But not now!”
