ED:

Hold on thats strange too. Does that mean Kaztor is currently a member of the Demon Kings army?

No, I dont think thats the case. He did arrive 20 years ago, but he wasnt with the Demon Kings army, was he?

So, does that mean hmm maybe he changed his mind in the meantime? Upon hearing Kid and Lugers words, Lee tilted his head in confusion.

He couldnt provide a definitive answer himself. Based on the information initially disclosed, this was the limit of the deduction.

1. Kaztor completed his research on Matans Shooter. (Confirmation)

2-1. An entity presumed to be Matans Shooter is in the Demon Kings army. (Speculation)

2-2. The presumed entity might be one of the former Three Musketeers, either Brown or Elizabeth. (Speculation)

However, with such hints, it was impossible to conclusively deduce that 3. Therefore, Kaztor must belong to the Demon Kings army. (Illogical).

Theres also no definitive evidence to assert with certainty that Kaztor is Matans Shooter! Despite his monstrous sniping skill over a distance of 10km, which would make anyone think he is Matans Shooter, hmm Kaztor himself isnt sure either.

Most importantly, as written in his diary, Kaztor is an NPC with a clear goal.

The revival of the Dark Elf race! But what about the current Dark Elves? They havent undergone any changes.

Should I conclude that he joined the Demon Kings army but then lost everything betting on them during the Second Human-Demon War? Leeha contemplated it, but even this wasnt a satisfying answer.

No, if that were the case, they would have sided with the demons long ago. Its mentioned in the journal, Dealing with the aftermath of using demons is also entirely possible. For him, the Demon Kings army is just a tool. Theres no reason for him to gamble the revival of the race.

While Kidd and Luger were searching for other information using the keyword Matans Shooter, Leeha focused elsewhere.

The most crucial keyword is [Plan]. We need to find out what that plan Kaztor mentioned is. Clues will unravel from there. Moreover, although buried under other keywords, theres also something called Gods Sword. Perhaps a legendary weapon from the Dark Elf elders tales?

To subdue the Gods Sword, then deal with the demons after using them as a stepping stone. That was Kaztors [Plan], and what is needed for that is the [Key].

Leeha read the journals again, finding fresh insights even in the journal read just before.

The origin of the demons, a similar nuance to the origin of the Devil. On the day Kaztor wrote this journal, he succeeded in some experiments. While it might simply be seen as evidence of completing the Matans Shooter research with the phrase finally succeeded in the experiment, or maybe its related to the previous mention of transformation? If Kaztor had transformed into Matans Shooter, he wouldnt have had to ask Jorje for information 20 years ago.

It became clear to Leeha that Kaztor himself becoming Matans Shooter was not plausible. If that were the case, there would be no need for such struggles. It seemed that only humans could go through such transformations.

Then, what did he learn from the transformation? What form does Matans Shooter transform a human into? Perhaps he experimented on a human subjectprobably one of the two, Brown or Elizabeth, applying some transformation magic to make them Matans Shooter? At present, this assumption seems the most plausible.

However, this assumption becomes plausible when considering the sniper within the Demon Kings army as Matans Shooter. Even though the evidence might shake, it was one of the possible hypotheses.

Hmm? Whats this?

What now? Is there something else?

I recognize this pattern.

Kid stepped back a few paces from the large magic circle drawn on the floor. In an effort to examine the overall design, Leeha, and Luger turned their heads to look at the spot.

Oh? Isnt this!

That pattern found in the remains of the Guardians.

Then, both Leeha and Luger began rummaging through their bags, searching for something. After a moment, they each pulled out an objecta bone and a piece of metal. Although different objects, the pattern drawn on them was identical to that on the magic circle on the floor.

The unique magic circle of Kaztor, it seems.

Crazy. Alexander is not the problem.

If everything written here is true, no, it seems almost certain

Thats right. If we integrate it into the game system, it would be a promotion. Someone promoted to Matans Shooter

Could dominate Middle Earth.

Though Leeha didnt explicitly mention the last words, Ruger or Kidd couldnt ignore them.

Matans Shooters abilities in Matans Shooter were excellent enough to dismiss Alexander as such.

Kaztor was a genius.

Of course, he was an NPC. Just faithful to the setting.

Thats why its frustrating. How the hell do we find the one who can become Matans Shooter?

Luger bit his lips in disappointment. While Leeha didnt explicitly bring up the last words, he sighed and said, But you know.

What? Do you know something?

Since its narrow, should we talk outside first? Why do we have to hide under the table like this?

With a shoulder-shrugging admiration, the three men, almost huddled together due to the narrow space, smoothly crawled out of the table.

By the way, isnt this ability really excessive? To dominate Middle Earth literally means dominating. The Dark Elfs resurgence

The most oppressed race and the race that knows the most about Matans Shooter. Leeha suddenly thought that the reason Dark Elves were oppressed might be because of Matans Shooter.

Because they may have been tortured to find out this secret

Even after crawling out from under the table, the three men, still reserved, each processed the contents of Kaztors booklet in their own way.

The matan, created from the clash of God and the Devil, truly exists.

The matan was created with the power of the Devil, but its energy is different from the demons.

Those who could use the power of the matan are called Matans Shooters. There cant be more than two at the same time.

The matan consists of a total of seven shots, and its shape is indistinct. Anything can be targeted without conditions when used.

It can assassinate with a single shot upon hitting. Regardless of whether the target is God or the Devil.

However, the seventh and final shot must kill the user. The legend of demons killing themselves and the confirmation of this point in Matans Shooters journal support this.

Matans Shooter can only be human. Perhaps because only they are a race that can become gods, demons, or humans.

It also means that Matans Shooter doesnt necessarily have to be part of the Demon Kings army. Moreover, as it was created through a confrontation with gods, the inference that they can even kill gods is also valid.

In the legend, the demon uses Matan as the last shot. Thats about all the three knew. However, Kaztor, who had the Matans Shooters journal as a direct record and also deciphered the sentences in the legend accurately, stated:

No matter how you choose the target, the last shot must hit the user All previous Matans Shooters have chosen to self-destruct in this way.

The reason the lineage of Matans Shooters was severed was because of this, according to Kaztor. Essentially, one possesses all the abilities to kill both God and the Devil, but in the end, one must pay that price.

Kaztor was angry, seeing it as some bizarre prank played by the energy entity called matan.

But what form or what is a matan an energy entity is, it seems impossible to know. Even the information that it can hit anything without conditions is just

Even Kaztor, who directly examined the Matans Shooters journal, couldnt find data on it. Perhaps because there was no one stupid enough to test the matan, which only has seven shots.

Kaztors hypothesis was convincing enough, but there were still doubts about the ability.
