Chapter 652

Chapter 652

The Dark Forest is where teleportation spells dont work. One must walk their way out, and moving at night without the help of a spirit of medicine is practically impossible.

Meaning, even though the land is longer north to south and shorter east to west, the actual travel time is restricted to daytime, and that too without the aid of blink-level space magic you are limited to walking or flying spells.

It was no wonder that Toon had only managed to exit the forest three days earlier.

Above all, my situation is different from Toons. If he rests when he wills, its certain he didnt move for hours each day. His stride is long, but I am confident I can catch up.

It was time for the sleepless nocturnal marches, honed on the journey to the Dragon Palace, to shine once more.

Jellypong! From now on, we move in full three-dimensional maneuvers. Got it?

[Mongmong!]

Lets go!

Leeha pointed in the direction of their travel, using the moment Toon emerged from the Dark Forest as a guide.

Shwoooosh- Shwoooosh-!

Relying solely on moonlight and starlight was no issue for Jellypong.

The varied terrain only served as points for Jellypong to extend its arms for three-dimensional maneuvers.

Based on the maps of Elizabeth and Brown, Leeha began moving in a perfect straight line towards Toon.

Most fortunate was that this path was precisely the route Leeha had initially aimed for.

On the map, the end of an arrow overlapped with Leehas path, marked with the numbers 260, 280, 3,800.

Levels 260 to 280, sniping range confirmed at 3,800. Well start there.

Facing Toon meant preparing for any situation, and Leehas top priority was Black Basss quest, something he did not forget.

Before confronting Toon, acquiring at least one more powerful weapon was crucial.

How many hours had they been on the move?

Shwoooosh-!

The first hues of dawn began to breach Leehas view, just as the sensitivity of the dawn began to fade away.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Leehas mind.

Can I really take on Toon alone? Was this a mistake?

Maybe calling Luger for help would have been wise? for new novels

The thought of inviting the battle-thirsty Luger seemed promising, but Leeha soon shook his head. It was impossible to go back and bring Luger along, especially since he hadnt even met the spirit of medicine.

If its their first time, someone inexperienced and without knowledge would take at least five days to get out of the Dark Forest, moving only during daylight. It makes sense.

Now, when even the Trios teleportation was unusable, Leeha could only truly rely on himself.

Jellypong, stop here! Here is good.

[Mongmong!]

Relying on the tireless movement of Jellypong, after about 12 hours, Leeha could finally take a break.

On a hill with an open view, right at the top of a terrain somewhere between a hill and a mountain with a steep slope.

The sun was already high in the sky.

Phew, Jellypong, are you hungry?

[Mong?]

Never mind. Thats not necessary. You dont really eat anything special Heh heh, Ill ask the Sea God if theres anything to upgrade you with later when we visit the Dragon Palace.

[Bong!]

The eyes that emerged from Jellypongs separated arm curved into crescents.

Smiling at the pleasant laughter, Leeha compared Elizabeths crude map with the surrounding terrain.

If the triangle on this map represents that mountain peak over there

From Leehas current position, nothing was visible. A monster being 3,800 meters away meant it couldnt be seen with the naked eye.

Its low posture and quadrupedal movement gave it the appearance of a crawling creature, so although it wasnt very tall, its body length was significant.

The hide seemed exceptionally tough. At this rate, even Black Basss bullets might not penetrate it. Considering that, the target area seemed decent overall.

However, the likelihood of the damage not fully taking effect depending on the area hit was high. For an instant kill, there was only one spot to aim for.

The hide might as well be impenetrable from the back to the tail. The head looks hard too The only area not covered by that horned hide sticks out just one place.

The neck, or rather, the cervical spine.

The neck area, connecting the head and the back, was largely covered by hide as well. However, the joints needed to move, leaving some flesh exposed.

Without a reference object for scale, this is tricky.

The body length is around 200 meters.

The radius of the cervical region, which could be targeted for an instant kill, was roughly 40 to 60 centimeters at a distance of around 3,800 meters.

But in sniping, words like approximately are unnecessary.

Especially when the target area is extremely small, even more precise observation was required.

Sigh.

In the end, the reference point Leeha chose was a small bird flying around the monster.

Ive never seen a bird as small as a sparrow here. In the New Continent, even birds are bigger. It had to be at least the size of a pigeon.

Assuming the size of the bird is about 30 centimeters, whats the size of the monster?

92340 is definitely too high. Between 2200 and 2300, much closer to 230. The length of the monster within the current scope view is only a few hundred.

If the original size of the target is 23 meters, what is the distance between the sniper and the target currently?

Leeha didnt need much time. All these calculations were just a bit more concrete feedback for Leehas instinctual sniping system.

Its no wonder Chief Kim disliked me. The distance to the target is about 3,815~3,816 meters. Moving at a very slow pace.

Wind speed and direction dont matter. Nothing in the flight path will obstruct Leehas view.

No need for a curved trajectory. Only one thing remained.

Haaah Lets go.

Disengage the safety.

Leeha pulled the trigger.

!

[Bang!]

The sudden gunshot made Jellypong momentarily turn towards Leeha.

A shot, a direct hit, a splintered cervical spine.

The monster, its neck completely severed, turned into light.

[You have completed the Black Basss Seal-5 quest.]

[You have learned the skill Ghost in the Shell.]

[Black Basss Seal-6 quest has been generated.]

[Youve earned the achievement One shot, one kill Ankylosaur.]

Excellent job, Jellypong! Come back, lets set off again!

[Mongmong!]

Leeha licked his lips as the system windows popped up in succession. Compared to the confusing skills, what was this result?

In the world, what kind of name is this so adolescent yet cool! Is this the first time living up to the name of Black Bass? Ghost in the Shell

Its like, the soul within the shell of a bullet. A total, soul-shattering strike!

As Jellypongs arms stretched out again, Leeha opened the quest.

Alright, the skill description is-
