Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“Silver Plain… I can get a map-”

“What do you think of us? ruler! I have marked the location of Chiyo, who was last contacted, and her expected movement route. “This is all the information our ‘lord of the castle’ wants, right?”

As soon as I received a call from Holy Grill, Leeha rushed here.

And as always, Ju had already prepared the information Leeha wanted before Leeha even spoke.

“I heard that creating a truly sacred grill spot was a godsend.”

“For us, Seongju needs to run well to increase the floating population, so it’s a symbiotic coexistence.”

“The stage of symbiotic coexistence has passed, let’s move on to coexistence and co-prosperity. “I’ll just go!”

Lee Ha smiled and Ju smiled along with him.

“Hehe, anyway, with good sense. ah! “Can’t we forget the tax benefits?”

Did Lee Ha hear what Ju shouted last time?

Lee Ha had already come out of the sacred grill and was running towards the warp gate. It was an instant to become familiar with the topography and features of the Silver Plain.

‘Are we heading towards Shazzrasian? No, that can’t be true. If you want to handle diplomatic business with the Shazzrasian Federation, you can warp. There is no way I would choose such a difficult path.’

Just as the Plains of March exist as a buffer zone on the border between Phuviel and Minnis, the Silver Plains exists as a buffer zone between Minnis and the Shazzrasian Federation.

Not only is it a vast location, but it is also a land without frequent appearances by monsters and periodic management by NPCs. Lee Ha immediately understood Chiyo’s intentions.

‘There is a high possibility that there is one of the Shinobigumi’s safe houses. Or, there is a possibility that we are looking for a candidate site for a safe house, or that there is a headquarters of a much higher level than a safe house.’

Chiyo is the head of the organization, that is! It’s the head.

At least that’s what Lee Ha-gi guessed. Therefore, unless it is for purposes such as hunting, it does not appear anywhere.

Chiyo, who left the royal palace of Puviel and went straight to the royal palace of Minnis, has been wandering around the cities of Minnis for the past few days.

‘On the surface, he only frequented the bars and restaurants he managed, but it should be seen that all of those activities were used to increase experience points, do quests, or run the Shinobigumi. Every step of the leader’s movements is heavy.’

Even with the Holy Grill’s information power, I couldn’t find out the details, but at least I knew her location all along.

However, since it is a city of Minis, there are no opportunities to snipe.

So now was the opportunity. A place where no one’s eyes can reach. In a place where the only witnesses were a few monsters…

‘I have to kill them.’ ‘You never know when an opportunity like this will arise.’

You must not miss it. You must not fail.

If you mix in with the crowds in the city again or log out, there is a high possibility that the remaining four days will just pass by.

This means that it is likely to be Lee Ha’s first and last opportunity.

Shwaaaaagh!

Take the warp gate to the northernmost city of Minnis. From there, Lee increased his speed and ran.

‘Wait, Chiyo.’

At the far end of my field of vision, I began to see land covered with flowing silver grass. It took no time to reach the silver plain.

* * *

Shaaaaa…!

A blue-green light sparkled next to Lee Ha.

[Kyuuu, kyuuu!]

“Mr. Blaugrun! Nice timing!”

[Kyu?]

“I tried to call you in a whisper anyway, but anyway. “Welcome.”

[,.]

Blaugun turned on the lower head.

Lee Ha grabbed his tail and quickly hugged him. Blaugrun was momentarily taken aback by the rough movements, but he only made a light hissing sound.

“You have to be careful from now on. “I haven’t seen anything around yet, but you never know.”

[Gyuu.]

Blaugrun also answered in a very quiet voice.

There were no monsters at the beginning of the Silver Plain. It was not a terrain where anyone could hide, and there were no features. If Leeha couldn’t find it, it was certain that no one could see it.

‘Still, you have to be careful. 〈Mana Clairvoyance〉.’

Cheeeeee!

After a moment of noise, I was able to discover beings accumulating internal mana.

Tiny dots, seemingly extremely distant beings, were seen moving about in the distance.

‘Let’s not worry about the monsters. There is no user…’

The worst situation among the following assumptions was the situation where Shinobi-gumi members were located nearby.

Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet.

‘Let’s go.’

[Sigh.]

Blaugrun dug into Leeha’s chest.

[묭묭 묭 …]

[Gyu, Kyu!]

Gelafong reached out, and hugged Blaguurun. Lee Ha inserted the magazine into the Black Bass with both free hands and ran.

The Silver Plain is a place with a literal setting. This is a place where silver-colored plants, including silver grass, grow.

However, is it because we are approaching the border with Shazzrasian? It is a place where cold-related monsters mainly appear, and it was said that a dragon rare was recently discovered somewhere in an unexplored area further from the Silver Plain.

‘Did you say silver dragon? No, was it the other one? There should be a lot of dragon rares coming out these days.’

It was not possible to determine whether this meant that users’ skills had seriously improved, or whether the setting of Middle Earth was gradually changing.

At least, all I could remember was the ‘fact’ that dragons had become more frequent.

‘It doesn’t matter because dragons won’t appear around here anyway. If it’s a silver dragon, thank you, it’s a metal dragon on my side.’

Lee Ha rustled and checked the map he got from Ju.

The level of monsters in the Silver Plains is quite high, but not at the level that Chiyo comes to hunt.

Of course, it was obvious that the monsters would move to avoid the main haunts, and Ju and the Holy Grill’s intelligence officers had written that down on the map.

Lee Ha uses mana clairvoyance to look for anything suspicious, and even uses eagle eyes and a scope to find things that aren’t properly understood.

This hunt cannot fail. You must absolutely succeed!

Lee Ha moved cautiously, double and triple checking.

Finally, at the end of my vision, I caught a small mana dot walking slowly.

A projection that is different in size from the monsters that appear around it. Leeha raised the scope. And then he laughed.

“bingo.”

Chiyo came into view.

I tried to use the following skills to make the most of it.

‘《marking》.’

Users above a certain level regularly use anti-marking and screenshot prevention items.

However, they are only at the level of ‘prevention’.

A notification message pops up saying that you have blocked it, or it does not kindly inform you that someone has attempted such an action.

In other words, even if marking fails, there is no risk of being discovered.

“…what?”

But this time was different.

On the map that Ju had given me, the clearly marked T1 puzzled Leeha.

Chiyo was marked.

‘Didn’t you use anti-marking? A person who is like the head of the Shinobi-gumi – no, it’s still a guess, but… anyway.’

Is that why the intelligence agents of the Holy Grill were able to find her?

[Kkyun?]

“Isn’t it fascinating?”

[Kyuuu.]

Blaugrun also opened his eyes wide and looked at the map and the following in turn. Anyway, it was nothing short of heavenly luck.

Unless Leeha removes the marking, we will be able to track all of her movements for at least three days in Middle Earth time.

‘There’s no reason to wait that long anyway. Even if my movements are figured out, I’ll be done if I stay locked in the Minnis Palace.’

Of course, what Leeha needs is not just three days.

Where is the best place for sniping in the Silver Plains?

Where will she finally stop? All you have to do is check that. After that, your instincts will take care of everything.

The following was in no hurry.

I didn’t even just check it on the map. I made sure to additionally use the scope or eagle eye skill to compare the map with the actual object, and continuously observed and tracked her to see if she made any unexpected moves.

One step. Another step…

It was a very tedious task.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

However, unless Chiyo stops, it is difficult to find a sniping point. Leeha knew this very well.

The basis of sniping at a factor is waiting.

If it were a monster, it would be good to shoot from a distance like now, when you can see her glimmering, but she is a human. That’s not an ordinary person either.

Lee Ha had no intention of taking such a risk.

‘Where on earth are we going? The movement is too slow. Are we going somewhere… a dungeon?’

At the beginning of the Silver Plain, at least some regular users were visible.

Users who form parties and hunt. The distance from Lee Ha, as well as Chiyo, was so far away that he would not have been recognized.

Now, I can’t even see those users anymore.

It’s literally a plain, and Chiyowa and lower. When Chiyo’s slow walk, which had lasted for more than a few hours, stopped, it felt rather sudden.

‘Why here?’

A place where silver grass grows up to your waist. It was a place with shallow hills with large rocks.

Leeha quickly looked at the map and Chiyo in turns.

What angle can you see from where she stopped? What angle can I see her from? Where can I hide? Among those spaces, where can you ensure ‘safety’? Among safe places, which is the candidate location for sniping where you can secure the most reliable sniping distance? Among these sniping candidates, which sniping spot can I reach the fastest?

Spatial information, time, direction, distance, application of various skills, etc. were quickly calculated in Lee Ha’s head.

The time it took to combine the fragments of information and come up with an answer was only 3 seconds.

‘okay. let’s go.’

[Quite.]

After specifying the sniping location, I made eye contact with Blaugrun for a moment. At the same time, the movement began, Sasak and Sasak.

It took approximately 38 minutes for Lee Ha to appear at the sniping spot he had thought of.

Meanwhile, Chiyo did not move.

No, rather, I saw someone approaching Chiyo.

‘What is it, who-’

Lee Ha confirmed the identity of the target with a scope. Lee Ha knew well the person Chiyo was planning to meet in person at the Silver Plain, and the person who made Chiyo wait for nearly 40 minutes.

‘-Sasuke!? As expected… as expected! Chiyo was the head of the Shinobigumi!’

Sasuke from the Shinobigumi. Sasuke and Chiyo met.

The following was certain. There is no need for any more material evidence. I could think of several reasons why Sasuke came.

If it’s a conversation, it can be done in a whisper.

If you simply want to deliver something, you can either order another agent or leave it to a store run by Chiyo. But why did they go so far away, not even within Minis, to try to have a secret relationship?

‘Very important information. Information that must not be passed on to others, even within the same Shinobi-gumi!’

The reason it is difficult to follow the Shinobigumi is because they move without a clear entity. Even if it was a ‘high-ranking’ person like Sasuke, I already guessed that most of them were run in the form of a branch organization.

There would be something very important in Sasuke’s hands right now that couldn’t be entrusted to the lowest level of such a branch organization.

In order to convey this directly to Chiyo, Sasuke probably chose a place like this where no one would be watching.

‘It’s probably right.’

That was the guess below. And soon it became a reality.

In fact, Sasuke was conveying something to Chiyo. Something that looked like a piece of paper was moved from Sasuke’s hand to Chiyo.

Chiyo was unfolding it.

I was curious about what was written, but that wasn’t the important point right now.

Time to read what is written on the paper. You will not read the paper by walking, jumping, or sitting down suddenly.

In other words, while reading that, Chiyo’s posture must be fixed.

‘It’s over, Chiyo.’

The final sniping spot below where some trees have grown.

No one can recognize the jet-black barrel of a black bass gun protruding from between the dark brown wooden pillars!

“Whoa….”

The click of the scope had already been adjusted.

The distance is approximately 1,400m ahead. The wind is quite strong, but the bullets below ignore wind speed and direction.

“Haaa….”

There is no vibration of the gun barrel.

This is because the location that provides the best launch angle was selected even when shooting while lying down. Leeha’s posture, which was completely aligned with the ground, did not waver.

Still, the following added caution to caution.

Even uses the skill 《Calm Mind》 to pursue extreme stability for 3 seconds.

Lee Ha didn’t even blink.

The only thing that moves is the index finger.

The index finger began to move. There would be less than a millimeter left until the trigger point.

At that time, Leeha looked through the scope.

The way Chiyo is looking at herself.

Tuquaaaaaaaaaaa
