Chapter 384
TL: xLordFifth
ED:
‘Great. The wind right now is...... northeast, 11m/s. At this rate, the trajectory will change near the effective range limit. Just like when I caught Aello.’
Since the duration of the snipe skill had already ended, Leeha looked for targets based on the effective range of joint fixation.
It was a rock at the bottom of the peak he was previously standing on.
Where will it hit?
‘Normally, it would hit on the right side of the rock. Judging by the distance and wind direction, that would be the case! But now-’
Click-!
Pulling the bolt, Leeha loaded one shot and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Baaaaaang——!
“Kiririrt! Kiririrt!”
“Kyaaa, kyaaa!”
The noise was so loud that the harpies flapped their wings in fright and soared toward the sky.
Even before the echoes of the noise ended, Leeha spotted a crack in the middle of the rock.
“......Are you saying I got something like this?”

Blaugrun hovered above Leeha’s head as if congratulating him.
“Kuoooong!”
Koma let out a roar of joy.
“Well then, shall we finish it now?”
“Kuoong?”
[Kyuuu?]
Leeha put on his hat and muttered with a satisfied expression.
“Joint Fixation, release.”
About 20 minutes have passed since he used joint fixation in preparation for shooting the field boss.
After the vines of mana attached to his leg suddenly disappeared, Leeha stretched his ankles in turns.
“Hey, harpies!”
“Kyaaaaat-! Kyaaa-!”
“Kirit, I will kill you, I will kill you!”
“Cough, I mean, if you wanted to kill me, you should have killed me when I was unable to move. I won’t die with just talking. Does it make sense to try to get results by just talking?”
Leeha raised the Black Bass.
Leeha didn’t just sit still before looting Aello’s corpse.
Leeha was not stupid enough to ignore the notification window that popped up while completing the Black Bass quest.
‘I was really surprised...... the expression
‘this guy is alive’ really fits.’
[Black Bass’s Seal-5]
Description: “This guy is alive, the more it tastes blood, the more it awakens. The legendary dwarf placed seven seals on the Black Bass... On the day the right user appears, Black Bass will awaken....... The legendary rifle is waiting for a user to wake it up.
Content: Defeat a level 250 monster at the distance of 3500m or more.(0/1)
Reward: ???
It wasn’t the usual 500m and 20-level increase.
The requirements increased by a whopping 1,000m and 40 levels!
As if to say that the 4 of the 7 seals were just the beginning of the test, the difficulty increased drastically toward the second half.
It was to the point where Leeha thought that the living Black Bass increased the difficulty in order to test him.
‘But that’s not the only real surprise. The reward from the fourth and final test of the first half!’
Fortunately, as much as the difficulty was raised, the reward for the fourth and final test of the first half was incredible.
“Blaugrun-ssi, and Koma. Do you want to see something fun?”
[Kyuuu?]
“Kuoong?”
Leeha looked at the harpies still hovering through the sky. There were five, which was a good number to test.
“I was discharged from the army due to an incident...... And the spacing was weird, so I thought it was an African word. It really hurt my brain, didn’t it?”
[Kyuu?]
“Kuoong?”
The least expensive of the rare potions was the HP potion.
Of course, it was a comparison to status ailments and MP potions, because they were so expensive.
Ordinary users even think that the exorbitant price of the HP potion is made like that to look like a high-end item.
‘If it wasn’t for the demon king’s army subjugation quest, my back would have been bent. Phew.’
HP potions were all made in temples, and all temples on the continent were temples of the god Ahlo, which was the organization under the Vatican.
Therefore, if one was authorized to receive a certain number of potions free of charge from the Vatican, one could get a few rare potions every day from any temple.
Alexander and other users who participated in the subjugation team did not use their authority because they did not use the potion that much, but Leeha tenaciously took it.
‘Middle Earth really is bad. It’s obvious what they are thinking without even looking. They might be looking down on it, but I am different because my job is long-ranged. I’m going to eat all of it.’
Leeha stated that even the reward was made by Middle Earth’s system, or operator, to screw him up.
He did not even have to think about it, it just shows how much he had lived and suffered in Middle Earth.
Even though he grumbled hard on Middle Earth, Leeha’s hands did not rest.
He cut the meat, stuck it like a skewer on a long branch, and grilled it over a simple bonfire with a fire starter!
It was essential to gently turn the skewer so that all sides were properly cooked, and continue to apply the special sauce made by boiling down a rare HP potion!
Finally, when a fragrant smell emanated from the grilled harpy leg, Leeha held out the skewer.
“Okay, it’s done! Blaugrun-”
[Kyuu!-]
When Blaugrun was about to fly to Leeha happily, another creature moved before him....
Kuooooooh—!
Pabak, pabak, pabak! Wagu!
“Uh, ohh?!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Koma ran over and swallowed all the branches that were used for skewers.
He ended up swallowing all of it.
‘Koma? ”
“Kuong”
“Hey, that- not this.... You......
Leeha looked at Koma with a flabbergasted expression.
Koma did not disappear yet because the 30-minute duration was not yet over.
‘Even so...... does he need to get fed too? No, considering that living beings need to eat to grow, it is only natural, but-’
He didn’t know. Leeha didn’t even think about it.
In the case of the hatchling, there was no notification window or alert, so Leeha found a way to it to grow through the intelligence guild, but what about a soul mate?
“Kuong-! kuong-!”
Koma licked Leeha’s cheek with a smile on its face.
Leeha was both happy and flustered at the expression of affection from Koma he had not experienced for a long time.
‘Right, I only call him when he needs to fight and never pamper him. I never called him except for fighting to upgrade the skill rank.’
In a sense, Koma was the first creature in Middle Earth Leeha had affection for.
They were even closer than Alexander and Bailephus, to the point of getting the title ‘Soul Mate’.
“I’m sorry, Koma. I was too indifferent.”
“Kuoooong!”
Leeha became sentimental for a while.
Blaugrun flew toward Koma with inflated cheeks.
[Kyuu! Kyu!]
“Kuoo, Kuooong!”
Blaugrun opened Koma’s mouth with his hand and pushed its head toward it.
“Waa?! B-Blaugrun-ssi? What are you doing? Koma, mouth! Don’t close your mouth!”
[Kyuu, kyuuuu!]
“Kuo- kuoh!”
Even the large distracted brown bear was taken aback by the action of the little dragon trying to get back the food he had swallowed.
However, he couldn’t hit the dragon that was the size of his head.
“Kuok!”
[Kyu!]
Blaugrun gave up in the end, taking his head out of Koma’s mouth and hitting the brown bear with his tail-! Paaak.
Compared to the tail attack of Kuzgunak’sh toward Bailephus,
it could only catch flies.
