Matan’s Shooter 779

“Oh, by the way, regarding wind direction and speed... Hmm, I’m not doubting it, of course. But considering how the wind changes frequently, do we really need to record it like this?”

Leeha shook his head. Among the figures recited by the White Reaper without hesitation, there were even details about wind direction and speed. What’s the point of jotting down such information now? Nevertheless, when Leeha looked at the list, the White Reaper smiled and replied, 『You can trust it. I only listed the points where wind speed and direction do not change, after all.』

※ ※ ※

“What??”

Leeha looked at the White Reaper with a bewildered expression.

“The wind direction and speed don’t change?”

How could you be so sure about that? At least, to make such a statement, you would need data collected from observing at least five different timeframes every day for more than three months, right? However, when Leeha looked, the White Reaper had never engaged in such observational practices even once, so it was natural to be skeptical.

『Leeha, maybe my nickname was given for a reason? To you, it may seem insignificant, but... I have a few bragging rights too.』

“If you have any bragging rights-”

『You’ll find out later. Just know that what you see with your own eyes isn’t everything.』

White Reaper elegantly quoted the Leeha’s words. The statements of the top-ranking NPC must not be taken lightly. Leeha recalled the time when the White Reaper was engaged in a sniping battle.

‘Right, the wind here is- excuse my language- a real mess.’

The dust continued to fall in patches, and the sun was intense there. Not only the temperature difference, but also the humidity, wind direction, and wind speed varied by meters, to the point where Leeha thought it was fortunate that he used a curved shot, as there were many points of turbulence and jet streams forming.

In such a place, the White Reaper managed to pull off an almost perfect snipe.

“What you see is not everything... It’s visible... Could it be... You said, ‘it’s visible’ in the sense of what I’m thinking-”

『If you can carry on my name, it means you already have that ability... You can expect that with confidence.』

“Well... I see! Haha! That’s how it was possible, right?”

How would you interpret even the slightest rising breath? That was the skill “Eagle’s Eye” or using a “scope” didn’t make it visible.

‘I barely dodged it. No, strictly speaking, it grazed me. I didn’t dodge it at all. At the time of the first sniper battle climbing up the hill to confront Karelin, the white bullet of the White Ghost passed by the side of my cheek. Thankfully, it only grazed me because I twisted my neck at the last moment; if not, it would’ve hit me square in the face. After confirming the White Ghost’s position through the angle of impact and gunfire, I fired a shot and then shifted about 400m to the left.’Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished at novelhall.com

Even as I carefully moved to prevent my camouflage from being revealed, a bullet passed near me. If I hadn’t shifted position, my head would have been in the very place the bullet passed by. How could that happen? It was a simple matter in retrospect. Did he sense my breath? How could he!? What did “the eye of NPC” see for the second job advancement?

“It seems like it could be quite fun, right?”

『It will be fun as long as you’re prepared. I’ll be back shortly.”』

Lifting the correction rune, I pondered what abilities I would gain after the second job advancement. Although I couldn’t be sure of the exact number, I could vaguely guess one of them.

Shuwaahhheeyy.

Heading towards Gaza City, two days had passed. At the request of Leeha, Jin Gonggong stood in front of the Remlin Palace in Shazrashian, surrounded by numerous giants.

“This is insane. Ha Leeha-nim, what are we supposed to do with this...!”

The crowd was so vast that one could hardly take a step. By the time Jin Gonggong arrived, the number of people had already exceeded a thousand. Particularly now, the square in front of the Remlin Palace was so crowded that it was difficult to move.

“It’s definitely over a million... Just in this square!”

Truly an enormous gathering. The place was so cramped that even the capital city couldn’t accommodate everyone. It’s hard to say how many more people wanted to depart immediately.

“I’ve only investigated the quest details. How am I supposed to stop this?”

『Common Quest (Shazrashian, Giants): Winter Resource War』

Vladimir regulated his breathing and clenched his fist tightly. Even Jin Gonggong, who was far away, could see his exaggerated gestures.

“We must advance gallantly and regain the past glory. The conquest of our future is solely up to us!”

The President shouted in an elevated tone. As soon as his words ended, thunderous applause erupted from the users and NPCs around President, including Karelin. Starting like a wind catcher, all the giant users gathered in Remlin Palace Square began to chant and applaud.

“Let’s go!”

“For our land!”

With our hands!

Let’s take it back-!

『Hamina Castle’s manager will be in charge of temporary supply. Get the necessary items from there immediately!』

Aaaah...!

The Giant users, including Jin Gonggong, furrowed their brows for a moment at the light emanating from the President’s body.

“Such a splendid performance.”

『Charge! The first to step forward among the Giants will forever be remembered in the history of Shazrashian!』

As the intoxicating and paralyzing speech came to an end, the Remlin Palace Square was once again enveloped in excitement. Words of courage, valor, glory, and honor, sprinkled with words that Giant users playing in Shazrashian would appreciate, elicited an immediate response from them.

Already seeing flashes of light twinkling in various places, Jin Gonggong quietly let out a sigh.

Jin Gonggong: Ha Leeha-nim, everyone is setting off. The Lord of Hamina Castle will be in charge of supply.

Leeha: Well, that cowardly Giant... Okay. Thank you, Jingyeongjeong-ssi. Even if we catch only a few, it will be over 20,000. No, I can’t even estimate if that number is accurate. In the thousands, even tens of thousands were occasionally encountered in battles in the New Continent 『Divine Staff』—huh, but don’t worry just because it’s ten thousand people, we’re not going to fight ten against one.

Jin Gonggong: Really?

Jin Gonggong chuckled, tilting his head. Fighting at a ratio of 10,000:1? Is that it?

Leeha: Well, since it’s not just ten thousand, are we going to fight with 20,000 or 30,000?

He didn’t quite understand, but he didn’t elaborate further on that point.

“They are coming. Shimo-nim, please stay here.”

『Do I really not have to go? Moreover, I... Without even bringing a dragon with you, alone-』

“It’s fine. Ah, Blaugrunn-ssi! You need to defend the final line!”

Saying this, he turned around and left the ruined building, holding the Black Bass.

Literally, the final destination that the Giants of Shazrashian had to reach. And what was blocking their path was Blaugrunn.

“I really don’t know how Ha Leeha-nim sees me and says such things...”

“But don’t worry too much. I won’t send Koma back either. Blaugrunn probably won’t even have a chance to appear, right?”

“-Yes.”

“Kikik, then let’s start! I’ve captured Rising Sun before, fought at the origin of evil, but...”

Click.

Leeha inserted the magazine and pulled the trigger.
