Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

[ Although I still have my Dragon Heart… I don’t have much time, so please listen to the situation from the person blessed by the elder.]

Listening to Blaugrun’s words, Leeha was able to confirm that it was only able to restore some lost functions and regeneration was impossible because the bronze dragon’s head was completely torn off. Bailephus made a pitying expression as he listened to Blaugrun’s words. Then Leeha looked back for a moment.

“Ha Leeha you-”

[You did a great job against Kuzgunak’sh. I mean, much more than me.]

Blaugrun spoke to Leeha in a very warm voice. The bronze dragon did not blame or criticize Leeha or assumed that Leeha dragged Kuzgunak’sh into his lair.

The bronze dragon was a good dragon and already a guess about his fate, and the wisdom of a dragon that had reached adulthood was a little more advanced.

“I understand. I will respect your words. Then…… I will leave you with your last words. I, Gold Dragon Bailephus, a member of the Metal Dragon Clan, will attest to the will of the Bronze Dragon Blaugrun.”

[Human, is your name Ha Leeha?]

“Ah, that…… yes. Blaugrun-nim. I’m sorry.”

Leeha took off his hat and bowed his head quietly toward his body. Blaugrun did not blame him, but Leeha had no choice but to blame himself.

The Red Dragon used Leeha to catch the Bronze Dragon, and Leeha was helplessly defeated by it.

It happened because he didn’t know, but what happened happened.

[I have seen all the amazing- attacks you have shown. Perhaps, you can be a strength to Bailephus-nim, more than I am.]

“……I am deeply ashamed of myself.”

[What is my lifesaver saying?]

Even though he had no head, Blaugrun’s words seemed to have a tinge of laughter. Accepting death, the dragon continued to speak slowly.

[I ask the human Ha Leeha…… I hope that you will become the strength of Bailephus-nim on my behalf. Please get rid of Kuzgunak’sh.]

“What?”

Shoooook-!

A notification window appeared in front of Leeha. In addition to the achievement right before, what was it this time? However, he couldn’t concentrate.

[Of course, it is impossible for you alone. I- my strength- will be with you.]

With him? What did that mean? Bailephus understood before Leeha could.

“Blaugrun!”

The gold dragon’s eyes widened, but Blaugrun’s voice remained calm. How could a dying dragon be with Leeha?

The bronze dragon had already made up its mind, and the gold dragon knew it as well.

[Bailephus-nim, I am sorry for asking you to attest… Please hand over my Dragon Heart to the human Ha Leeha. And please testify at the Metal Dragon Clan meeting that the inheritance of my Dragon Heart is legitimate and deserved.]

The only one who was surprised by the completely unexpected words was the person concerned.

[Bronze Dragon ‘Blaugrun”s Revenge]

Description: ‘Do not tell Bailephus-nim.’ The current Kuzgunak’sh might be stronger than the elder. It would be impossible to stop him alone……

What’s needed to stop it is a blow that could make its Dragon Heart crash, a blow that no dragon can withstand. If even a tiny fraction of my Dragon Heart collides with its Dragon Heart, it will not be able to do anything.’

Blaugrun is estimating his life.

Rather than forcibly prolonging the ember of his life that is dying. The purpose of Metal Dragons is to protect the continent. Take his Dragon Heart and create a bullet that will be shot at the Red Dragon Kuzgunak’sh’s heart.

Content: Hit Kuzgunak’sh’s heart with Blaugrun’s heart.

Reward: Affinity with all Metal Dragons +20%

Authorized to acquire 3 required items from the lair of Bronze Dragon

Advanced Compensation: 2 Bronze Dragon’s scale

Condition for Failure: When an attack fails, Bailephus’ Death, Tiamat’s Summoning

Penalty for failure: Affinity with all Metal Dragons -40%, Achievement: Dragon’s Wrath

– Would you like to accept?

Turquoise light emanated from the Bronze Dragon Blaugrun’s chest.

The dragon heart, which was like a lump made of light, seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, and then it changed into a shape familiar to Leeha before he knew it

[It is in the same shape as the ammunition used in your weapon. Pierce Kuzgunak’sh heart… with this.]

“But I…… this is a bit too much-”

Leeha hurriedly read the quest window. It was a quest that was nothing special. Find Kuzgunak’sh and shoot the bullet made of Dragon Heart into its heart.

‘However, I only have one chance. Can I hit Kuzgunak’sh, who has incredible movement?’

What if it was in its human form?

It showed tremendous movements even when it was in its dragon form. Additionally, he not only needed to hit Kuzgunak’sh once, he also had to prevent Tiamat’s summoning and Bailephus’ death.

‘Although there’s an advance compensation, the penalty for failure is quite intimidating.’

In addition to the intimacy with all Metal Dragons going down, there was also the achievement named ‘Dragon’s Wrath’. Based on the name, no matter what kind of dragon it was, it would make them want to chew and eat Leeha as soon as they see him.

[Please.]

The bronze dragon pleaded.

The Blue Beard-related quest, the word of the Fragment of the Demon King Ghibrid, Matan’s Shooter, and Kaztor’s Laboratory already made Leeha very busy……. However, Leeha couldn’t ignore the bronze dragon’s words.

Most importantly, a sense of responsibility weighed heavily on him.

“Okay. It is my fault for not seeing through Kuzgunak’sh scheme from the beginning. No matter what. I will make sure that Blaugrun-nim’s will is fulfilled.”

[ I thought you were a good person from the first moment I saw you. It’s a shame if I had more time, or if this didn’t happen, we could have been good friends.]

The smiling Blaugrun’s face came to Leeha’s mind.

The handsome face of a sculpted man that should have been attached to the head that Kuzgunak’sh ripped off.

Bailephus quietly listened to the conversation between Leeha and Blaugrun before opening his mouth.

“Is that what you meant, Blaugrun?”

[Yes, elder. Kuzgunak’sh…… is stronger than expected. Don’t be ashamed to have helpers, please- please, please do your best to protect order.]

“I get it. I promise.”

[Then- I will now go to eternal rest…….]

Syaaaaaat-!

Light flowed from the bronze dragon’s body.

Like water leaking from shattered glass, the light emanating from his body signaled the end of his life.

“I am sorry.”

Bailephus’ eyes were wet.

After only 10 seconds of light being emitted, what remained of the bronze dragon’s body was two turquoise scales and a bullet that shone on its own.

[Achievement: Enter the Dragon Gate- Metal(A+)]

Congratulations! You have received a Dragon Heart and are qualified to inherit the power of the dragon. Metal Dragons in Middle Earth will like you, who have been recognized as family and help you inherit and maintain the power of the dragon, both inside and outside. If you, still a carp, completely cross the Dragon Gate, how will you change? The dragons are curiously watching.

Reward: 18 Stat points

Affinity with all Metal Dragons +10%. Affinity with all Color Dragons -10%

You are the second registrant of the achievement [Enter the Dragon Gate – Metal].

The first three registrants of the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and 200% of the existing effect will be rewarded.

Effect: 36 Stat points

Affinity with all Metal Dragons +20%. Affinity with all Color Dragons -20%

‘Dragon Gate……. Entry?!’

Leeha was shown an achievement.

An achievement that only those who have received a Dragon Heart could have. He also knew what being the second registrant into the Hall of Fame meant.

‘Wow, Alexander!’

What kind of achievement did Alexander receive?

It wasn’t a cruel act of running a raid, killing a dragon, and tearing out a Dragon’s Heart, but literally inheriting the dragon’s power from the dragon’s own will.

If the intimacy with a dragon was not high, it would be an impossible task.

In addition to Bailephus’ blessing, Blaugrun and Leeha fought.

‘If I include the last buff…… the total intimacy with Metal Dragons is +80%. And the total affinity with all Color Dragons is -110%.

‘Ah, so-’

Leeha came to a sudden realization. The reason for Kuzgunak’sh’s frowning expression on Radcliffe City.

Because of Bailephus’ blessing, the intimacy automatically started at -80%, so he couldn’t make a good expression after looking at Leeha.

‘If…… I had used that as a hint, would I have known?’

No, that couldn’t be the case. In a situation where Leeha had completely believed that Kuzgunak’sh was a user, there was no way his thought would have reached that far.

Bailephus picked up the two Dragon Scales and the Dragon Heart that turned into a bullet and reached it out to Leeha, who was looking at the quest and achievement window.

“Thank you, Ha Leeha.”

“Ah. No, don’t mention it……

“Then, can you tell me what happened from the beginning?”

Bailephus’ eyes were burning.

It was rather surprising for Leeha to see his human form for the first time rather than his dragon form.

Of course, he looked like a knight of gold, but he seemed to have the dignity of a dragon on his face, which was almost middle-aged or older, different from Bronze Dragon’s sculpted handsome face.

“Can you transform into a dragon?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“I thought it would be nice to talk to you on the way. Oh- Can you give me a ride… if possible.”

“Ride?”

“Yes. I don’t have a map, but I know the direction.”

[Intermediate Marking(Lv. 4)]

Effect: Target highlighting and movement map marking for 86 hours(1/4)

In the end, it wasn’t just a bullet that was shot toward Kuzgunak’sh. Leeha explained about the marking and Bailephus was amazed once more.

“Indeed! It was no coincidence that you hit me back then.”

“Ah, that…… I am sorry.”

“No, it’s fine. Good. You can’t ride me unless you’re my partner, but-”

Hwaaaaa一!

The armored warrior’s body glowed, and before Leeha knew it, a huge dragon sat in front of him.

[I could make an exception once for the one who inherited Blaugrun’s legacy.]

“Ohhh!”

Leeha’s body flew up. His body, which was automatically moved by the Gold Dragon’s mana, landed on the Gold Dragon’s neck.

[Hold tight.]

“Yes! It is in the north-northwest direction!”

Leeha grabbed the gold dragon’s scales. He didn’t forget to check out another achievement on the way.

[Achievement: Unforgiven(A-)]

Should I congratulate you?

The chromatic dragons are raging against you. Their wrath, saying that they cannot forgive, not only the body but also the soul, will come to you actively no matter where you are. Don’t be too pessimistic because you can’t run away through space or across the sea!

There is a way out. What if you can’t be forgiven? There’s no choice but to get rid of it so that you don’t have to be forgiven.

Angered Dragon: Red Dragon Clan, Kuzgunak’sh

Effect: 32 Temporary Stat Points(Will be removed upon death from the Chromatic Dragon Clan)

Intimacy with all Color Dragons -50%(This achievement does not have a hall of fame)

(Stats will become permanent upon killing the angered dragon.)

“Hmm? Ah-ahhhhh……”

Does being loved by one side necessarily lead to the anger of the other?

‘He looks like someone who’s good at dunking, but he’s really narrow-minded. Was it that unfair.’

The achievement Leeha got when he gave the last shot to Kuzgunak’sh was related to the color dragon. However, Leeha did not mind.

Anyway, his intimacy with color dragons exceeded -100%. -110%, -160%, what’s the difference?
