Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“What is that guy doing? Why is he not answering?”

What worried him the most was that Kijeong and the sisters were at the same location.

Leeha continued to whisper to Kijeong in order to know the situation, but he did not reply.

Kijeong didn’t even know that the Ram Sisters and Leeha knew each other.

In the end, Leeha could only guess what the situation was. At least, he needed to get a reply before knowing anything.

Tii—♦.

No reply came, so there was no way to know.

‘Damn it! I’m getting nervous… ‘

It was highly likely that a fight broke out. So? That was not his problem. Leeha had other things to do. Maybe someday, he would find out anyway.

After whispering to Kijeong for a long time, Leeha finally moved.

His original purpose was to learn a little about Browless.

If he was the director of the academy, he would be a famous NPC anyway, and there would be many people who knew him, besides Kijeong.

‘For example, the NPCs in Aelstock.’

Maybe he could find out more, than asking Kijeong.

Users only experienced things that happened after Middle Earth opened, but NPCs might even know the events from the past.

‘And to ask that…?’

A place with a lot of old NPCs.

Leeha went to the pub. He marked it when he was together with Kijeong, and in fact, it was opposite the weapon shop, so he only needed to open the map and he was good to go.

“Hey, hey, did you hear me?”

“What?”

“The internet is currently in turmoil. It was said that a huge incident happened in Tiwi Canyon.”

“What happened?”

“Ram Hwajeong, Pei Wu, and Igor appeared and there was a battle. Three world rankers gathered and got completely destroyed?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Why did they fight?”

“I don’t know, I heard it had something to do with a Korean guild. They were tied up in such a place. More than 200 people died.”

Leeha’s steps stopped.

“More than 200? Dead?”

“Yeah. That’s no joke. Lately, Chinese users have been interfering with Agromni Igor’s level up.

Wasn’t it reported that the Chinese, who were getting ahead using quantity, got completely wiped out this time?”

“Wow! That’s amazing! It happened while we were arguing with each other, does this mean there  is going to be a war between Igor and Pei Wu?”

“Let’s take a look. Someone I know hid in Tiwi Canyon and is currently watching.”

“Is he recording?”

“Of course he is. If such an incident happened, wouldn’t a video being circulated on the internet soon?”

Leeha stopped and listened quietly.

He did not know what exactly happened, but he was able to make a rough guess.

The main focus of the users’ conversation was on Igor and Pei Wu, but Leeha was aware of another conflict in Tiwi Canyon.

‘Ram Hwayeon, Ram Hwajeong, and Kijeong’s guild… Those two must have fought. Pei Wu is Chinese. Did Ram Hwayeon bring him in? What about the Russian…? Did Kijeong’s guild bring him- No. I don’t think they can, with Hyein’s personality. Then? Did those people follow the Chinese?’

As the other users have said, Agromni Igor outranked Pei Wu and got into trouble. It was a reasonable guess.

‘It could have been. If there were people chasing you every day and hindering your level up, even I would want to kill them all.’

Leeha opened the friend’s window again to see if there were any changes, and the friend window looked different from before.

‘Sasuke logged out.’

Did he die? Even if they were added as friends, it was not possible to know their HP status.

‘Kijeong is still alive. The same for Hyein. Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong are currently online. Dead?’

In an instant, the light next to Kijeong’s name disappeared.

-Kijeong! Kijeong-ah!

Leeha tried to whisper to him, but the transmission failed. Kijeong got logged out.

‘Dead… Did he die? Kijeong?’

What happened?

‘If there really was a battle, tankers were in the most danger.’

After he saw Kijeong log out, Tale followed…

‘Did their defenses get breached?’

Kijeong and Tale were logged out almost simultaneously, and Ram Hwayeon logged out soon after.

Now, there were only two people left in his friend’s window.

Hyein from Byeolcho Guild, and Ram Hwajeong.

Their locations instantly changed. They disappeared from Tiwi Canyon almost simultaneously and appeared in a different place. Hyein appeared at Saber Castle and Ram Hwajeong at Doma River.

‘The two of them moved at the same time! Is it over? Or did they run away? What happened?’

In the end, he was not able to stand it anymore.

‘Browless can wait. I need to collect information on the Kobold anyway.’

It wasn’t bad to log out once in a while.

Leeha got out of Middle Earth with much difficulty.

“Phew…”

He checked the time as soon as he got out, it was 3pm.

He logged in in the morning and he had already spent a few days in Middle Earth so far, but in reality, it was only the afternoon.

“However, it’s not worth it. In other words, if I waste time in reality, I would lose a few days in Middle Earth.”

Leeha moved to his wheelchair and quickly went to the computer. Of course, he did not forget to call Kijeong on the way.

-Yes, ahh.

“Hey, what is going on? You did not answer my whispers. What happened?”

After a while, he heard Kijeong’s voice, but it had no strength in it.

-Ah, did you call me? Sorry. I am… a little tired.

“Ram-…… No, it’s on the internet now! Did you die? Did you fight?”

Leeha wondered, did he fight Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong? He was about to ask.

No matter how curious he was, Leeha did not want to start a misunderstanding for no reason. It was strange to mention their name first.

– Hyung heard it too. Yes, Ram Hwajeong was really…… strong. The world rankers are really strong- Heup, heuk.

“Kijeong-ah?”

Kijeong’s voice suddenly stopped. It seemed like the receiver had been blocked, but Leeha heard the sound of breathing and crying for a long time.

Leeha waited patiently until Kijeong cleared his voice and spoke again.

-Hyung. hurry and level up as well. If you don’t want to look bad. I died and leveled down… From now on, I will go on a rampage without paying attention to anything else. I might not be able to help hyung.

“R-right. Okay. I understand. I have to grow alone as well. You are also one of the experts of Korea. You’ll be fine. Cheer up.”

-Yes, Thanks. I’m tired, I need to sleep. I’ll hang up now.

Leeha put down his phone and sighed. Level 198, no, he died, so he should be level 197. If a tanker like Kijeong lost his spirit like this, how strong were they?

‘The three people in the world rankings 3rd, 4th and 9th…’

Kijeong said that he will reach level 200 soon, he was one of the strongest users in Korea. For such a person to shed tears…

Leeha wanted to know.

Right now, there was only one topic in the community. It’s the battle the people dubbed as the “Tiwi Canyon Battle”.

[Title: Wow… Is that possible? He killed over a hundred people by himself.]

[ Title: Pei Wu’s moves are awesome. I’m going to learn martial arts too.]

[Title: Wow…… Is that possible? He killed over a hundred people by himself. Byeolcho, Dragon Knight and Seogwang, aren’t they guilds that are from Seoul?

– What are they in front of Agromni Igor? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There’s a difference between a rabbit and a troll.

– What’s even scarier is that the members of the Chinese Guild, Golden Dragon, have an average level higher than 100.

– There were several level 170s among Dragon  Knight and Seomgwang. They all died.

-Wow, is there such a huge difference between level 100 and level 200?

– No, what are you talking about? Agromni Igor must have been over 250.

-ㄴ what are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, he should be higher level than Pei Wu. Pei Wu was like 259 a while ago. Igor must be at 260.

– Isn’t there only 1 or 2 level difference between Pei Wu and Igor?

-ㄴ There’s not much difference when it’s only 1 or 2 points, but when there is a 5 to 10 point difference, that would have a big impact, ㅋㅋ What is your level anyway?

Among the comments, the most eye-catching one was the level. Agromni Igor’s estimated level.

‘260?’

The level-up speed was so slow that he was not able to check how much experience was required every time he leveled up.

Leeha also killed hundreds of bats and spiders at level 25 but he only got to level 26. Not to mention 260. It was 10 times the level difference from Leeha.

However, just because there were 10 times the level difference, it didn’t mean that Leeha could win if there were ten of him. Even if there were less than a hundred people, there must be a huge difference in skill level that was difficult to beat.

Every level meant additional 5 stat points.

Leeha knew how important each of those stat points was with every level up.

[Title: Pei Wu’s movements are awesome. I’m going to learn martial arts too.]

Crazy ㅋㅋ I am not able to see it properly, I don’t even know how to do that.

I’m level 95, but even if I have the same level as Pei Wu, I won’t be able to hit him.

-I saw in the video that someone who uses a 2-handed sword hit Pei Wu. Is that person an expert too?

– It was probably the Highlander Tale, the strongest Highlander in Byeolcho. He’s also an expert

-ㄴ Yes, Pei Wu kicked him three times and died, he’s clearly an expert. – ㄴㅋㅋ You don’t know shit. He got hit by Ram Hwajeong’s Area of Effect skill, that was the reason why he died in three hits. ㅋㅋ

‘Three hits?’

The swordsman that was an actual martial artist, got done in with three hits? No matter how strong the magic was, to die in three hits was hard to believe.

‘No, if it’s Ram Hwajeong’s magic, as they say, then they would have died immediately. Rather, it was amazing that Tale, who was not even level 200, could withstand  one hit.’

Because it was Ram Hwajeong.

To survive after getting hit by the magic of the 9th in the world ranking. Besides, she was a Cryomancer, it was obvious that her attacks would cause the target to slow down.

If you were able to hit Pei Wu after that, that alone was enough for you to be considered an expert.
