Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“Because I don’t want to fight a terrifying enemy like Byeolcho again. It’s also because there’s a person saying good things about you. I want to be on the same side with you next time.”

Ram Hwayeon glanced at Leeha, shrugged her shoulder, and held out her hand toward Kijeong.

One could tell that she really was the leader of Hwahong.

Although they got played by Sasuke big time, one could tell that their tactics, strategies, and battles were real.

Kijeong shook her hand without saying a word.

Today was the birth of the guild which acquired the first commercial monopoly rights in the Fibiel kingdom.

At the same time, it was the day ‘Ha Leeha’ spread his name all over the world.

“Hey…… did you get all of it?”

“Yes, sunbae……. It was amazing.”

The two men, who had been hiding all the way over the canyon, felt chills run over their bodies. Their faces trembled with excitement as they watched the war.

“Well, don’t we have to use a nickname? This, it’s a waste to spread this big event! The person who killed Igor, do you have any modifiers we could call him?”

“I don’t know because I didn’t hear their conversation,

It’s probably Ha Leeha. The Cloud Magician who destroyed Rising Sun! Can we use that? The Cloud Magician ended the war!”

“Cloud Magician- no, its impact is weak. This bastard, you work on broadcasting but you don’t know how to make a headline? Think of a nickname!”

“Hmm, even if you say that……. How about modern-day Robin Hood, or William Tell?”

“Those are archers! He uses a gun!”

The sunbae bonked his hubae’s head.

“Aack! Ah! Long ago! Weren’t there an opera? a novel? I think there was!”

“What?”

A short word came out of the hubae’s mouth, a title that was attached to Leeha’s name and spread throughout the television, internet, and middle earth.

“[Matan’s Shooter].”

The fame of “Matan’s Shooter” Ha Leeha spread instantly.

It was Friday afternoon when the war ended. It was no wonder that Middle Earth buzzed with the news that Hwahong made a remarkable improvement to Dale Castle. However, soon reality was just as tumultuous as that.

It was because, in just one day, many cable TV sports channels had organized planned programs.

“Kek. I-It’s true.”

-Isn’t it? Is it? I got a call from a guild member too. But it wasn’t only aired in Korea!

“Then?”

-Did you say it aired in U.S. and Europe as well? They are currently looking for hyung. I was careful not to be photographed as much as possible, but how did this happen….

Kijeong’s guild strength was revealed to the world, so he didn’t particularly have a bright voice.

However, it was an exciting event for Leeha, who was not able to enjoy his performance during his battle with the Rising Sun.

“America…… Europe……. I haven’t even gone to Jeju Island even though I’m this old.”

-Leeha, anyway, they kept showing you in other shows as well. In the war, Hwahong and us were ignored, why do you think you got all the spotlights?

“Did I do it to get famous! I did it to protect you-”

-Hyung, I know. I’m just trying to say thank you. I have to log in again. I’m very tired of organizing the guild, see you later!

Even after Kijeong hung up the phone, Leeha’s eyes were fixed on the television.

Because even people from the other side of the Pacific admired the broadcast.

The high-definition footage showed everything that happened in the war, however, it stopped in the middle.

It was a way for the narrators and casters to explain in detail how the battle had been fought, what magic was used, and how this effect would later occur.

“In the scene, as you see now, you could say that the situation of the war had changed dramatically. Did Sage Hyein cast it?”

“Yes. ‘Enforce Teleport’ is magic that could forcibly move the target. From here, Pei Wu was teleported to the Shazrasion Federation, effectively leaving the battlefield.”

“Oh, indeed. So you mean that the Byeolcho Alliance deliberately took a defensive stance until Pei Wu appeared? To weaken Hwahong’s power?” “”

“You could say that. There were four main scenes in the battle of Amas Canyon,

this is one of them.”

“In fact, of those four main scenes, isn’t what the viewers are most curious about are Ram Hwajeong’s Arctic Tornado, Hyein’s Enforce Teleport, and Agromni Igor eating the blood golem?”

“Yes. The three of them are very famous users, so one could assume that they each have their own secret weapon. B.u.t! The appearance of the user Ha Leeha is simply a mystery.”

The video of the war changed.

What was reflected on the screen was Igor, who was turning into a werewolf, and Kijeong held Igor tightly.

And after a while, Igor’s face froze-! And then it got destroyed. There the screen stopped again.

“Now, this is the scene. Where the hell did he attack? I can’t believe it even if I see it.”

“Once on the screen, this point, next to this rock above the canyon. If you look closely, you can see something silvery gray

sticking out from it, right?”

The narrator drew a red circle at the spot where Leeha was hiding, and the pixels on the screen were broken and the magnification continued. Leeha’s face and the Hummingbird were caught on the screen.

The caster tilted his head in surprise and chuckled.

“His there…… haa, really. He shot at that distance and hit Igor’s face. Is that possible? I also joined the military, but getting this right is-”

That’s why he got that nickname. A program was used to measure in and the result was 407m. The nickname [Matan’s Shooter] is not wasted at all.”

“Four hundred and seven meters…… It’s amazing. I couldn’t believe that the battle that made Fibiel Kingdom tumultuous ended from a shot taken 407m away. I can’t think of anything other than that it’s really cool.”

“Yes. Besides, the fact that Ha Leeha is not a member of the guilds related to the war meant that he was hunting rankers as an outsider.”

“As expected.”

“No!! What do you mean hunting ranker! Don’t tie me with those outsiders! I am not an outsider!”

Leeha yelled at the television, but he couldn’t be heard. Judging by only watching the war video, it can only be seen that way. He exhaled a sigh and turned on the T.V..

“This really……. The internet is also messed up.” Of course, it wasn’t because of Leeha, but because of the grandeur of the war.

The video uploaded on YTube reached 50 million views within 24 hours…….

“It was a really huge war.”

In addition, Leeha received emails requesting for an interview to find out how he did it.

Today in Middle Earth’s invitation. It was grandly titled [A special conversation with an outsider]. Leeha was already confirmed as an outsider in Middle Earth.

‘The more they see my face, the harder it is to hunt……. No interview, no, I just don’t have to reply. They are not sure it’s my mail.’

Of course, he was happy. It was natural he felt good.

Becoming famous. People cheering and calling for one’s name. There was even an article saying that they cried while watching the video, how could he not feel good.

Apart from that, Leeha tried to suppress his excitement.

Becoming famous wasn’t always a good thing. As there are always two sides of the coin.

“Kwwaaaa, okay! Let’s connect once more. I haven’t been able to get a good look at the item and my stats.”

After the battle was over, he logged out, and this is the first time he would log in again. Leeha was also excited.

‘Hehe, Agromni Igor’s Necklace…”

How good could it be?

—

“I’m sorry, Oka-san. The plan to swallow Dale Castle failed-”

“It’s okay. Maybe we were too greedy from the start.”

“Yes.”

Sasuke shook his head and bowed. It wasn’t the place where Rising Sun’s Kyokujitsu had come before. The secret place had changed again, and Shinobi-gumi’s Oka-san and Sasuke were having a conversation.

“More important than that is balance. There should have been a Byeolcho Alliance that was a force to keep Hwahong in check so that they could not become a large force…. If the two guilds were to hold hands.”

Balance was essential when dealing with information.

That way, one could maximize profits by walking a tightrope in the middle, so if either idea became overwhelmingly large, ‘information’ would become meaningless.

Especially from the point of view of a guild that mainly dealt with users’ information.

“I-I will look for a way. If we want to prevent Hwahong’s power to grow in Fibiel Kingdom like this, we have to recruit another guild-”

“Hmm, there’s no need for Sasuke-kun to go out Because we already made contact with Minis and Shazrasian Federation.”

“Are you talking about users from other countries?” “Is it necessary to keep them in check in the same country?”

Sasuke’s spine tingled. How big and wide was the group he belonged to? Does it mean that they have reached beyond Fibiel Kingdom?

“Ah, and Ha Leeha……. Should I take care of him? If you want to catch him, we can do it within the day”

“It’s okay. Just leave him alone.”

“What? But he’s already too big. If we wait any longer-”

“There are a lot of people aiming for Ha Leeha besides us. Leave Leeha to them for the time being, and Sasuke-kun, please go to the Minis Kingdom.”

“Yes!”

Were there a lot of people aiming for Ha Leeha? He didn’t want to ask who they were, and if he couldn’t ask, then that would be it. Sasuke immediately stood up to follow instructions, and at the spot he left, Oka-san looked at the crystal ball and smiled.

“Who’s hand will reach first. No…… who’s hand should I reach first……?”

In the crystal ball, dozens of users with the same clothes and had the same sizes were visible.

All of them wore hoods and monk-like robes. They were users of the Russian Guild, Czar, who participated in the canyon war together with Igor.

—

The corridor was wide enough for dozens of people to pass through at the same time. As if it was not a place made for humans in the first place, the high and wide passageway was full of cracks.

“Grrrrr..”

“Grr, grrrr…….!”

The monster that roamed around such a place was the armored saber tiger.

The shell made of iron armor made a rattling noise every movement, but their movements were more agile than normal saber tigers.

Its fangs could easily surpass a human weapon, could easily tear users’ skin.

“Puguuuu–!”

“Whoa whoah-!”

And a two-headed ogre carried an armored saber tiger in its shoulder.

It had lost almost all of its intelligence and was almost unable to communicate even with its heads attached to its body, but in return, it had gained overwhelming physical abilities.

It was a monster that even a formidable party of five are reluctant to fight, but right now, there was only one person standing in front of it.

Bright yellow hair brushed with pomade oil. White skin on a square chin. However, the user’s eyes were as cold as a monster’s.

“……Isn’t this a laboratory? Wrong.”

“Puoo!! Kuooo-!”

“Hoong, hoong!”

“It if can’t communicate, it’s not needed.” The pomade user ignored the monster and moved on. Even if it didn’t understand words, the twin-headed ogre knew that it was being ignored.

“Kuwaang!!”

“Kyaooo!” “Kuwaaaa-”
