Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 24

Ch 24

“Sorry. I thought you were a monster.”

“It’s okay. I get that a lot, so I’m used to it now. The users are surprised to see me, but NPCs are not. Kikiki.”

The Lizardman revealed its teeth and laughed.

Ah, so they implemented the lizard’s laugh like that? Great, Goople.

Despite the Lizardman’s laugh, Leeha just kept staring at it.

“Ah! On the other hand. Looks like you’re hunting alone. Is that right?”

“Yeah. Well.”

“Wow, how did you do it? You were able to hunt two wolves by yourself.”

‘My rapidly beating heart quickly went cold. Why is he asking me that? Did they see something suspicious while I was hunting?’

“I’m just asking. The two of us are hunting, but it’s really hard. You look like a person of similar level, so we want to invite you to our party. Kikiki.”

At least there seemed to be no malice.

It was difficult to tell if the Lizardman is good or evil by looking at his face, but Leeha could feel his sincerity by his relatively polite attitude.

“A party?”

“Yeah! Although we are both level 9, we have difficulty hunting because 4 wolves are too much for us. It seems you also have a strong attack power, but considering the loading time, it seems that you can’t handle more than 3 by yourself. There are a lot of 3 or more party mobs in this area, so wouldn’t it be difficult for you?

‘Huh, would you look at this? Is it polite of him to pretend he didn’t know anything about it? The Lizardman provided a fairly sharp analysis.’

“I’m level 8. Would you still like to party?”

“What, you’re lower leveled than us? Kiki, it’s okay because your attack power is high. Giant-nim here will Tank and Heal, I will pull the mobs and deal DOT magic, if you can deal with them one by one, I think we should be able to do it. What do you think?”

The initiative lies with Leeha, and he judged that he won’t lose anything if he joined their party. Without a doubt, hunting the two wolves previously was cutting it close.

Even if he shot from a distance of at least l00m, it is certainly impossible to hunt three. No, even hunting two is difficult.

A while ago, it only worked because he was able to use a little trick.

Leeha judged the situation calmly.

In addition, the Lizardman has already analyzed what each of them will play in the party. He liked this attitude.

“Good. Please take good care of me. I am Ha Leeha.”

“Oh! Ha-i Ha-i! That’s great name! Kiki, I’m Biyemi, my job is Venom Mage and I’m level 9.”

“Is it Venom Mage?”

“Venomancer. Are you familiar with it?”

Was there anything like that? It’s a job you might not know unless you’ve checked hundreds of weapons in the class tower.

“I am Jing Gong Gong. As you can see, I’m from the giant race. I am also level 9.”

“Jing Gong… That’s a unique nickname.”

Leeha looked at the giant talking shyly. Gong Gong? It’s a strange ID, why is it so familiar?

“What is your job?”

“Well, that…”

‘Is it embarrassing to speak of a job? A small voice that doesn’t fit the size. Jing Gong Gong raised his head and looked at the sky. From above his head -! A crow hovered around and sat on his head. Oh? Crow, and the crow sat on his head? Ah! Giant? And crow! Nickname Jing Gong Gong. A memory came to mind.’

“Druid! Right?”

“Kaek. You must be Korean.”

“Wow haha! You’re the one from the community! The Giant Druid! The person who was forced to choose it after a power outage!” Pu-eup, Leeha hurriedly covered his mouths instead of laughing.

From Leeha’s memory, it was a really sounded ridiculous to restore his job choice, and he was a user who shouted ‘I am bald’ while walking around the fountain square.

It must be said that it was so desperate and serious.

This is because people can’t make normal judgments when they’re in a pickle. But Gong-gong wasn’t angry or offended.

“You can laugh, I’m used to it now. Thanks to that, people often recognize me.”

He made a Self-deprecating smile and creeping voice.

‘Wouldn’t a person who resigned and accepted the situation be like that? So I thought he was rather pitiful.’

“Wow, wow? Are you both Koreans? I like K-pop too!”

“Where is Biyemi-nim from?”

“Vietnam.”

“Oh, oh oh.”

It suits you! The word rumbling in the uvula and passed over again.

A Vietnamese user that has lizard character and uses poison.

‘Something like a guerrilla came to mind, but wouldn’t that be racist?’ Leeha held back his words.

“I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking of the Viet Cong in the old days, but since then, Ho Chi Minh citizens are now proud owners of both high and low apartments! Kikiki. Let’s form a party quickly. Oh, what is Ha Leeha-nim’s job?”

“I am a Musketeer. Um, to put it differently, something like ‘shooter(??)’ should do?”

Ttak. The musket was held vertically with a sound.

Leeha was smiling, but the light flashed and disappeared from other people(and lizard)’s eyes.

What were they thinking.

These three are people who are about to graduate from the beginner village.

Which means that they have a rough idea on what races and jobs are popular.

They looked at Leeha, who proudly raised his Musket, with neither respect nor envy.

It was a strange combination where each of them felt pity or strange for at each other.

Human Musketeer Ha Leeha, Lizardman Venomancer Biyemi, Giant Druid Jing Gong Gong.

The three people made a party.

“Good, good, kill!” Kkak!

Leeha barely held back his laughter.

The Giant Druid Jing Gong Gong, a giant male over 2.5m tall, is giving order to his summon, saying “Good, good!” in a cute way, so Leeha can’t concentrate.

“The DOT is on the left most one! Kiki, Poison Spit!”

The Lizardman Biyemi made a fairly short cast. Green light was drawn into the lizard’s body, and he spit it out.

“Feh!”

Poison Spit, technically speaking, it is not saliva, but poison.

In case of human venomancers they were fired from the magic wand, it was said that there are little differences between races.

‘That is, I shouldn’t laugh. I can not be distracted. Concentrate, concentrate.’

While Giant Jing Gong Gong was shaking off the wolf that bit his forearm, Leeha aimed his muzzle at the wolf who was not poisoned.

Taaang, it died in one shot at the movement of his index finger.

Regardless of critical hits or instant deaths, Leeha’s attack power level has already been proven.

“Huuuut?”

He jumped and pressed the head of the wolf with his gloved hand. The head of the wolf got buried deep, however, it was still breathing.

Biyemi approached and stabbed it with a poisoned dagger.

Kiiing, Kiing.

The wolf died from the poison while it was being suppressed. After the death of the two wolves, Leeha pulled the trigger toward the one that remained.

[Skill – Musket Mastery level has risen to 3.]

[You leveled up.]

“Oh! Congratulations, Ha Leeha-nim!”

“Congratulations.”

“Huu, haha, thank you. Our hunting speed is pretty fast, is it not?” Leeha was enjoying the white light that refreshed his body.

‘Finally level 9.’

It was very nice since his level has not risen by a single level from the beginning of the Fox Quest until now.

“Yes? It is possible because Ha Leeha’s attack power is tremendous. Musketeers are this strong? I heard that their accuracy and range were not good. Ah, of course, we also have Jing Gong Gong-nim who is a good tank. Kikiki.”

Leeha guessed that the Lizard is accustomed to recruiting party members.

Biyemi didn’t know that the Combat Assistance System made the Attack power and Accuracy tolerable, so Leeha took it as a compliment. Anyway, his skill at picking up people is quite good.

The Giant Jing Gong Gong’s face turned red when he heard such a compliment, and I couldn’t find the rough appearance he had on the community.

Because there are many people who are different from what they write on the Internet.’

Unexpectedly, the hunting speed of the three people party is comparable to parties with 4 or 5 people in it.

Even though the loot distribution was shared evenly, Leeha was still able to gather 10 wolf’s skin.

“I have collected all the wolf skins I need, so I will come back after completing the quest.”

“Already? But it’s useless to complete it now. If you get your experience up to 87% of level 9 and complete the quest, you will reach level 10. You can get the Golden Eagle Quest right then. Biyemi stopped Leeha who was going to the village by presenting some pretty specific numbers.

“Yes? How do you know how much experience each quest gives?”

“How you ask? Kiki, It is information I got from the Internet.”

Leeha searched for information in the Internet as well but have you never seen such detailed information. In the first place, it does not indicate how much experience points are given for each quest in Middle Earth.

Well, how did he know that you can level up just by completing a few percentages of experience on a level?

“So don’t worry and hunt. At level 10, you can also take up the golden eagle.”

Biyemi raised his thumb up.

The lizard had five fingers and Leeha was surprised that the thumb was so long.

“Okay, this time I will pull four! Get ready!”

“Ah. Yeah.”

Giving Leeha no time to think, Biyemi started her casting.

And spat out saliva full of poison.

Four wolves, they were rather tricky opponent, but it did not pose any threat to Leeha’s party, who had already begun the hunt.

Although Jing Gong Gong did not have a shield, the giant’s unique tough and hard skin and high stamina, he was able to press down the wolves’ head.

Biyemi spat out poison at the wolves and slowly reduced their health, and when they are already dying, he finishes them off with a poisoned dagger.

The wolf that tried to find a gap was suppressed by Jing Gong and got pierced in the body by Leeha’s iron ball.

“Haha, good. Good. It’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed hunting.”

“You want to get pecked?”

“Oh no. I like it.”

“I’m just kidding.”

Leeha had a strange intimacy enough to play with Jing Gong Gong. They both understand the pain of having a job forced upon them.

Seeing the giant Druid, who was enjoying being in the party three, he thought he knew how hard it must have been to hunt.

There are also days after the butt was stained with blood to catch a rabbit. Those days that he was neglected as a musketeer.

“But Biyemi is amazing. How do you walk and cast?”

“Kiki, I just did it and it worked. Venom Mage casting time is so short.”

Biyemi laughed softly at Jing Gong Gong’s question. What are they talking about? Leeha did not know.

“Is it great to cast while walking?”

“I heard from a friend, but it’s not a joke to focus when casting. They asked me if I could move a cup full of water.”

“Oh, that analogy is easy to understand.”

‘If you don’t pay much attention, it will overflow with just one step. Come to think of it, all the wizards of the other parties I saw were the same. They cast magic, stop and move, then cast again. It is called a “moving cast,” but I haven’t seen anyone who is actually moving and casting. Oh, that Ram Hwajeong did cast while walking, right? She was a great kid. Should I say that it is as expected from the 9th in the world ranking?’

While trying to check whether the Ram Sisters were connected or not, Leeha suddenly had a different thought.

‘No, wait. Is this lizard doing what the 9th place is doing?’

Leeha looked at Biyemi, he had hard time looking at the lizard’s vertical eyes for a long time so, he quickly turned his head.

‘Is it possible because the casting time is short as he said?’

The casting time was shorter than what I saw from other people. In that amount of time, you may be able to barely walk while maintaining concentration for one or two steps.
