Matans Shooter 544

TL: xLordFifth

ED:

Reflecting on the quest given by the spirits, and their words, the result of failing the penalty was clear.

Complete revival of Toon. And the destruction of the World Trees forest, leading to the demonic lands exchanging magical energy.

With many hints already provided, Leeha could guess what the failure penalty entailed.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

If the demonic lands start exchanging magical energy, what happens?

The monsters will become stronger, which is a given. If thats the only consequence, it would be a relatively mild penalty.

But the possibility of Toon rampaging couldnt be dismissed.

A giant dinosaur, over 30 meters tall, could lead all sorts of monsters in an onslaught towards the western coast of the new continent.

What if that happens? Could the current level of users stop them? Leeha was skeptical about this, The Paleos will not leave their tribes The destruction of human towns and the loss of mana relay towers will be inevitable.

Meaning, the means to reach the new continent would be lost. At best, they would have to start again from the buoy in the middle of the Sea of Dawn.

For regular users, it would take at least 60 days to gather resources from there.

Essentially, pioneering the new continent would become much more difficult. Especially if Toon remains alive.

He must be killed. Thorough preparation is essential, particularly since Toon is not at the first demonic source.

Matans Shooter

According to Kijung, there are at least 7 days until the next total assault time enough to prepare.

I have to do it, though.

Leeha walked towards the Bottleneck forge, whispering to two people.

Leeha: Getting hit suddenly makes you want to grow fast, huh?

Even if the message was the same, the responses were bound to differ.

Luger: If you want to die, keep talking.

Kidd: I dont have time for jokes.

To get information about Matans Shooter?

He would have to ask those who have faced it.

The first person Leeha thought of was Lee Jiwon. Lee Jiwon lost a leg in the first total assault but did not die.

So he was currently logged in without penalty.

But to talk to Lee Jiwon about Matans Shooter, hed have to spill everything. Well, the information would be released eventually

With someone else to talk to first, getting information from Lee Jiwon was not a priority.

Leeha: There will be a total assault on the seventh demonic source in 7 days. Youve heard about the attack three days ago, right?

Luger: Dont care about idiots doing idiotic things.

Kidd: Im aware. I heard that a monster named Toon caused devastation. It has nothing to do with me.

Leeha smiled at the replies from Luger and Kidd. They only know one side of the story.

Time to prod them a bit to get a reaction.

Solo players like Luger and Kidd, naturally, get information a bit late.

Leeha: Why dont you care? The seventh demonic source, recently attacked and soon to be attacked again is the [Barren Land of Blooming Flames]. It wasnt annihilated by Toon. Toon may have contributed, but whats the real reason the users were wiped out?

Luger and Kidd didnt reply.

Thinking of them exercising their right to silence, Leeha laughed.

Keeping quiet? But this keyword will make it hard for them to keep playing dumb.

Leeha: Dont you know? Really? Should I tell you? Its because of Matans Shooter. While youre messing around, Alexander or Lee Jiwon might become the next Matans Shooter.

Could Alexander or Lee Jiwon become the next Matans Shooter?

Leeha didnt know. But he was aware that this bait was perfect for opening their mouths.

Responses came back immediately.

Leeha laughed, listening to the squawking voices of Luger and Kidd.

The three young Musketeers looked at him in astonishment.

Such a rapid change in emotions.

I dont know about Matans Shooter, but it means they told him theyre still alive and on the side of the Demon Kings Army.

Leeha thought Bottlenecks overreaction was actually beneficial.

The goal of this meeting was to persuade Luger and Kidd to join the total assault, and now their emotions were likely to be swayed.

Alright. Its best to be both friends and rivals, isnt it? Being just friends or just rivals is different.

Of course! Take plenty of bullets with you. Leeha glanced between Luger and Kidd, then gestured towards the inside of Bottlenecks forge.

Now that were here, lets talk while we pick up some ammo. I have a suggestion to make as a member of the Three Musketeers.

Luger and Kidd didnt express their usual dissatisfaction.

Watching them nod slightly, Leeha thought they might already be anticipating what he was going to say.

Conversely, it also meant they already knew how much he knew and had thought about.

Matans Shooter and Toon I heard that Lee Jiwon became an amputee.

Even if Alexander and the dragon join us, it would be impossible to conquer them.

Without saying much, Leeha acknowledged their prior engagement with Matans Shooter.

They didnt go into detail about the battle or the situation, but their current conversation was an implicit acknowledgment of their encounter with Matans Shooter.

Is Matans Shooter that strong? Cant we take him down if all three of us dive in?

All three of us? Luger, how far can you shoot?

Me? Well I think up to about 5 km.

Luger asked incredulously.

Kidd shook his head, hearing Leehas response.

Assuming your firearm and Matans Shooters firearm are the same, which means the bullet speed of Mr. Brown and yours are equal, the distance from which he first fired was 7 km.

Seven kilometers.

Leehas mind raced.

To shoot at a distance of 7 km, Id have to raise the gun barrel. With my current scope, I cant calculate for that range.

Even with all his skills and items, Leeha wasnt confident he could reach 7 km.

It wouldnt be just sniping within the scopes range; hed have to aim at the maximum distance and then raise the gun barrel like shooting a mortar.

Even then, hitting the target was doubtful.

Being just 1 cm too high or low would make the bullet land far from the target.

Ive been targeted since then. Continuous fire from a distance of 7 km. At that range, its more like predictive shooting. Predictive shooting isnt even a second apart, but being hit repeatedly is maddening. Even that damn quick shooter couldnt do that.

That damn quick shooter?

Ah. That wasnt about you, Kidd.

Watch your language. Consider this a warning.

Ah, a warning? Thank you.

Luger teased Kidd as he looked at him. There was a subtle difference in how they interacted with each other and Leeha.

It was probably due to the wariness shared between those who had encountered Matans Shooter.

Also, Luger being more talkative than usual was another sign of the danger posed by Matans Shooter.

Sigh So, what if we add another dragon? Not as strong as Bailephus but another one?

What nonsense? Theres only one Dragon Knight, that guy. Dont tell me youre talking about your hatchling?

It might be better than nothing, but it wont make much difference.

There was no way they could know. Leeha watched them for a moment, rubbing his head.

Should he tell them? Or not?

Usually, he would keep it hidden a bit longer, but Bottlenecks words weighed on him.

Now was a time to use everything they had and combine their strengths. There was no benefit in keeping secrets.
