Chapter 550

ED:
Okay! It should be neutralized now or should have been?
Leeha couldnt take his eyes off the scope.
He had clearly shot through the head, so why hadnt it died? Not only had it not died, but
Has it discovered me?
How had it pinpointed his location so quickly? It wasnt just sensing the direction. The vertically split pupil of Toon was unmistakably looking right at him.
Leeha felt sweat trickle down his spine.
The mere eye contact with Toon reignited a sense of impending doom in him.
No gunshot could have been heard in that chaos, but with just one attack, Toon had definitely pinpointed his location.
What could be the method? It meant someone was watching.
As if to prove Leehas hunch, the pressure on Bailephus had just eased. Leeha hastily got up from his position.
Damn it, I always have bad feelings about this- Thwack-!
The ground where he had been lying erupted in dust and gravel.
A piece of gravel shot up towards his face, but his Jellipong armor, transformed into a coat, easily deflected it.
[Mong Mong Mong!]
Thanks, Jellypong!
There was only one reason Toon could have spotted him.
Either Brown or Elizabeth, one of them had spotted him.
Damn it! Shared vision!
Most users couldnt understand why Toon had staggered momentarily or why it was bleeding from its eye sockets.
Only those who knew of Leehas prowess understood that attack, thinking that with Leehas sniping, they could defeat Toon. However, such a shot would no longer be possible.
Though not as noisy as the pandemonium between Toon and the users, a more intense and suffocating chase between the snipers had just begun.
Damn it, I based the sniping points on where Toon appeared during the first total attack-
Leeha frowned as he looked over the map drawn by Rubini.
He had set five sniping points specifically for targeting Toon.
Indeed, Toon had appeared in a similar spot as during the first total attack, and Leehas sniping point setup was excellent, but regrettably, too perfect, making it easy to be exposed to the enemy.
A position a top sniper would think of could be easily predicted by top snipers on the other side.
I just wanted to take down Toon and escape! I wasnt ready to face the original three snipers yet-
Thwack-!
Argh!
Leeha stumbled as the ground suddenly gave way. Tripping in the dug-up earth, he rolled down helplessly.
Shooting at a moving target with such precision-
But even as he fell, he noticed the dug-up ground. Based on his current position, the angle was about 340 degrees. From this angle
Behind this rock, they cant hit me!
Leeha crawled without a care for dignity, seeking cover behind the rock.
The rock was small, barely enough to cover him if he huddled up, but it was the safest refuge at the moment.
Ive got the direction but cant figure out the distance.
His head was regretful, but his body was already reacting.
There was almost no sound, only a faint sound of air displacement. It was definitely more than 4 km away.
And if I assume they fired two shots at Bailephus
When Bailephuss duplicate and the real one split in different directions, Leeha couldnt tell which was which, but one of them had been hit twice.
Leeha had observed the entire situation.
3.3 seconds. Assuming a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s, the distance of one of them from Bailephus at that time was about 2.7 km.
Bailephus was much farther ahead of Leeha.
Based on that location, if its 2.7 km from Bailephus, what would be the distance to Leeha now?
He already knew the direction.
With only approximate data on direction and distance, Leehas mind compiled all the necessary information to solve the trigonometric puzzle.
Anyway, finding the target is about moving from abstraction to approximation, and from approximation to detail! So, based on the current standard, the distance between the enemy and me is around 4.5 km or so!
Click, click, click.
Leeha quickly adjusted the Black Bass.
He knew without seeing. The last thing left was to check! Cautiously, Leeha peered out.
Theres no time to whine. I just hope Camouflage doesnt wear off
Leeha clenched his teeth.
If this skill broke the camouflage effect of Camouflage, it would all be over.
But Camouflage is a legendary skill of the Black Bass!
Leeha trusted in it.
Above all, without these skills, sniping Brown from this distance would be impossible.
[Joint Fixation: Lower], [Joint Fixation: Upper].
Whirrrr
Leeha felt the mana vines wrapping around his body and focused his gaze on Brown.
Were there any movements, had the scope cap been opened again, did he notice any flickering dark brown mana energy?!
No movements. Good.
Camouflage had indeed met Leehas expectations.
As long as the user doesnt deactivate it themselves, the only condition to break Camouflage is moving more than 1m in 1 minute.
Leeha would have loved to shoot Toon, but if Brown was watching him from that spot, he would undoubtedly die after the shot.
Lets do this. I have to.
Leeha steadied his breath.
Brown hadnt discovered him yet.
If he doesnt take down Brown now, neutralizing Toon would also be impossible.
Leeha saw Brown.
It wasnt clear, but it was enough. As long as there was no movement like now, even an absurd ultra-long-range snipe of 4.4km might have a chance.
This isnt reality, a place where impossible snipes become possible. Besides, I can even ignore wind direction and speed.
Leeha pulled the trigger.
Click!
His heart rate, heightened by intense movement and tension, was now calming down.
He shouldnt be excited. The most crucial moment should be met with the most relaxed mind to pull the trigger.
Leeha completely relaxed his body.
Even in a moment of emptiness, his body was firmly supported by the vines created by the Joint Fixation skill. Focusing on Brown and aiming at him, Leeha couldnt even think Will I become the Matans Shooter if I kill Brown?
Haahaaaa-[Sniping]
After using the last skill to increase range, Leehas index finger began to pull the trigger.
He had perfectly observed Brown.
The timing of the shot was also excellent.
But if there was one thing lacking, it was not figuring out who the old generation pierce was.
What does it mean to throw a decoy and stay hidden all the time?
Where can someone who doesnt use spatial movement go?
Using a decoy is not something a defensive person does.
If one wants to act offensively, what can they do?
Especially if such a person is invisible? What should I do now?
Brown had already finished thinking about all this.
Just before pulling the trigger.
Huh?!
No, when Leehas index finger had pulled the trigger about 30%, his mind suddenly snapped back to awareness.
He saw the long stick on the tree stump shaking.
He knew what it meant. Leeha quickly tried to pull the trigger.
Damn Hurry -
Thwoooaaah
Whoaaa!
The rock where Leeha had been hiding just moments ago was shattered.
The penetrating explosive rounds that Luger could use were techniques passed down from Brown. It would be impossible for the original three snipers not to be able to use that skill.
Thanks, Jellypong! But wheres my bullet?! Thankfully, due to the Joint Fixation skill keeping his body fixed and immobile, he didnt move!
Leehas Camouflage was still intact.
Jellypong had protected Leeha, enveloped within the explosion range, so his HP wasnt reduced.
But that was all.
