Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

The approximate location of the village where Hooded and Paleo cranes live had already been confirmed by Ibex and Youngblood.

However, what made Leeha absurd was that there was a slight error in the explanation of the spirit creature Ibex and its eldest brother Youngblood.

“Keuung, this is the first time something like this has happened in my life. Oh my, how can the ‘tribal guardian deity’ of Red Goat Paleo and the person who is said to be the strongest warrior of Red Goat Paleo, or rather Paleo, even confuse the location of the neighboring enemy village? Isn’t that right, Mr. Roubini?”

“Phew. yes. Yes.”

“Besides, you’re telling me to go to the enemy camp without a map, fart. Ah, I thought it would be a little easier since Rubini was here this time…”

When Leeha grumbled, Rubini burst out laughing with a cute expression. However, the following complaint was quite reasonable.

How to read a map and the Dokdo method are worn out.

No matter how roughly it was drawn, if only the borders of the enemy village were known, they would have gone around the surrounding area to collect all the information and devise the optimal strategy for carrying out the mission.

but now?

‘At least make some objective measurements. This is not the way it is truly passed down by word of mouth.’

Ibex and Youngblood referred to the direction and distance to the black-crowned crane colony, but the units of measurement were also difficult to understand.

[When the sun rises at noon, take half a step to the left from the direction you face it, then become a ‘red goat’ and travel at full speed for a day and a half.]

That was all I gave as a clue.

Lee Ha shook his head, remembering the absurdity of that time.

When the sun rises at noon, looking directly at the sun, how many degrees is half a step to the left based on the azimuth?

How many kilometers per hour does a red goat run, and how far can it run at full speed in a day?

How much is a day and a half in kilometers when running at full speed?

None of the questions could be answered with clear answers, and now Lee Ha and Roubini were in fact fumbling their way, at a level slightly better than that of a blind person.

“Mr. Roubini, this is the direction right? “We started in the direction that Youngblood pointed out, but even if you think you went straight in the forest or mountain, things often turn out wrong.”

“At least I think the direction is right. The morning sun is rising now, but the latitudes here and Kraven in the Old World will be similar, and the direction of the sun will not be much different. “If we take into account the position of the sun at lunchtime, the direction we are going in is very close to what Youngblood said.”

Roubini calmly answered the following questions.

“also. Okay, I understand. “Let’s keep going.”

Lee Ha looked at her with a satisfied smile and walked away again. I didn’t ask because I didn’t know.

‘You can find direction using terrain and features without any special skills. I guess it wasn’t a coincidence that I chose Oracle as a career in the first place. I’m a person who is used to looking at my surroundings.’

What is her main job? What are your hobbies?

Finding the direction to your destination without a compass and map is impossible without skilled skills.

This is especially true if you are a woman who is passive in outdoor activities.

“If you’re feeling anxious, why don’t we bring up a map?”

“Um… let’s go and try it out for another hour or two. “Skills also have cooldowns and mana, so it’s a waste to use them already, right?”

“Yes it is.”

She had not yet used the map creation skill. It was night when we left the village of the Red Goat Paleos.

I was concerned that the moving light would be visible to the black cranes in the sky, so I stopped it.

‘In fact, they say they came to the coast not far from that village, so you should be careful.’

Leeha remembered Youngblood saying that when the Red Goat Paleos were capturing the members of the New World expedition, something flew into the sky.

Currently, the sun has begun to rise and the distance between them must have become quite close. However, based on the speed of the red goat, it would not be time to arrive yet, and I did not want to abuse the skill already.

Caw- caw- caw-! Pudadadada!

Several birds soared into the sky with cries.

“Bow down.”

“yes? yes?”

“Shh.”

Lee Ha made Rubini bend down as if to attack her and placed a finger in front of her lips. Roubini could not understand why Leeha, who had just said there would still be distance left, was moving like this.

But the following was different.

‘Observation of abnormal phenomena and analysis of abnormal phenomena during the border march are the most basic and most important.’

As I was walking along the forest path, a bird suddenly flew up.

It’s also quite a distance from Lee Ha and Roubini. What if a bird took off even though there was no threat from humans?

‘There’s something. Have we already reached their border range?’

This should be seen as meaning that there is something threatening the birds in that direction.

There is no harm in being careful whether you are a black crane paleo or a monster.

―I will check first.

-yes? The skill is…

‘《Mana Detection》.’

No casting time is required and mana particles do not bounce. There are no fancy effects.

The skills that appear in ‘Black Beth’ are truly optimized for snipers.

Jjiing-!

Just a moment before I heard the name, two blue silhouettes appeared beyond the giant redwoods and bushes.

‘It’s real.’

The sight of guys walking around carrying something.

He has a slightly small body and a monkey tail sticking out of his butt. It was paleo. There is only one Paleo at this point.

-It seems like we have reached the scouting range of the black cranes.

-Already? How…

-There are no other guys around, so I’ll subdue them first. When I give you the signal, please create a map. Please check what radius the nearest crane is. Please wait here first.

-yes yes.

Roubini hastily responded to the sharp instructions below.

The musketeer who was grumbling just a moment ago has already disappeared. Beside her were the three musketeers of [Hit], the descendants of heroes who took out Black Bess.

Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.

Below, he lowered his body and moved.

The girth of the redwood trees’ pillars is beyond imagination. But it was rather fortunate.

‘You can’t think of us as waging guerrilla warfare in the forest. It is accurate to think of each and every one of these trees as a building.’

Below, the current situation is assumed to be an ‘urban battle’.

After walking approximately 60 meters away from Roubini, Leeha finally found a spot with an unobstructed view of the redwoods.

‘It’s been a while, Black Beth.’

Then he took out a magazine from his bag.

The number of magazines remaining is only 7. Just fire 35 rounds and you’re done.

Slam! Below, the magazine was inserted. A pleasant metallic sound rang lightly.

‘How many days does it take for a sniper to shoot a sniper rifle?’

After normalizing the sea god, it was a shame that there was almost no need to shoot, but considering the remaining bullets, it can be said that it was a stroke of luck.

‘Ignore wind direction and wind speed. The distance is approximately 400m.’

It was a distance that did not require the use of a scope, but you also need to keep an eagle eye.

Lee Ha adjusted the click and smiled happily.

The feeling of a sniper rifle that I haven’t been able to handle since I jumped into the sea to clean the septic tank.

I was glad to even feel the click of the tagak, the turning of the tagak.

After completing the adjustment, Lee put his eyes on the scope. I came across the Paleo cranes walking slowly and talking loudly.

Lee Ha calmly took aim at the guys.

‘Now, it’s back to work!’

―Mr. Roubini, now!

‘And 《Mana Evaporation Bomb》.’

Tuquaaaaaaaaa

Gunshots echoed through the redwoods.

* * *

Baaaaaaaaaaaa!

A gunshot suddenly rang out, and a stone bounced at their feet faster than the gunshot. Paleo shouted in surprise.

“B-Black Crane!?”

“Emergency, emergency! “There is something!”

“Are they red goats? First of all, let us know! You have to tell your guardian deity! Black Crane!”

“Black Crane!”

They raised their heads as if they were going to fly into the sky, but no change occurred in them.

The Paleos looked at each other in confusion.

Then he lifted his head again, stretching his neck toward the sky.

“…Black Crane!”

“Black Crane!”

But again nothing happened. While they were confused, the bushes rustled in the distance and one of them stuck out his head.

“uh! Black crane friends! I didn’t know if the transformation skill was powered by mana or not, but the effect worked anyway, right? Giggle, it worked, it worked.”

“What are those-”

“These are the things brought by the Red Goat! sacrifice! aggressor!”

“Bring a colleague! Black Crane!”

Lee Ha was giggling and fiddling with something. The black-crowned paleo cranes were making a fuss like startled chickens.

“uh? I’m going alone. Are you going to bring a friend? “Why don’t we talk for a moment?”

“alone?”

“one person?”

“Yes, I am alone.”

When Lee Ha shrugged their shoulders, their expressions changed.

Does living in a primitive village even rob you of your intelligence? They even changed the weapons they were holding and began to spew hostility towards Leeha.

“I’ll make you regret it, Black Crane!”

“We cannot forgive an invader who uses hexes! In the name of Hooded!”

Tat tat tat tat!

The black-crowned paleo cranes ran quickly. Even though he didn’t use animal enhancements, his basic physical abilities were by no means to be underestimated.

Lee Ha flinched for a moment.

‘Mr. Roubini said there are no other black cranes within 1km. You might not have heard a gunshot, but—’

I couldn’t shoot Black Bess again. Even if you avoid the instant death area, the basic damage is very strong.

What if we even kill Paleo, whooping cranes? After the success of the quest, Leeha, who has another plan(?) to achieve 100% intimacy, faces a setback.

‘More than anything, if I kill you now, there’s nothing left. I don’t know anything about Hooded anyway!’

So let’s just subdue it and extract information!

“Die, beast! Black Cray———in!”

“Black k───“

“It’s loud. Have you ever heard of a pistol? Even though I’m not Kid-”

Seeing them narrowing the distance to 30 meters in an instant, Lee Ha took out what he was holding in both hands.

Besides Black Bess, there are plenty of weapons available.

Taadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at ──────!

“I can do anything at this level.”

Hummingbird – Pistol and Needle Gun – The pistol burst into flames in an instant. Blood spurted from the shoulders and shins of the black-crowned cranes that were running.

“Oops!”

“What is this – throwing –”

‘As expected, you won’t die from this much. It wasn’t even an instant death area.’

I was actually glad that it didn’t turn gray.

However, the destructive power of the first ‘gunshot wound’ must not have been light!

When Paleo, a black-crowned crane staggered after being hit by a bullet from a full-length musket pistol full of stopping power, Lee Ha quickly ran toward them.

Pot, pot, pot, pot—!

The momentary surprise from the iron ball bullet probably lasted less than 5 seconds, but it was enough time for Lee Ha.

The muskets he was holding in both hands were put back on his waist, and what he was holding in his hands was a different type of weapon!

“You’ve never even suffered an electric shock?!”

“What is this-”

“Bah, we have to defend! Black k—”

“ON!”

Even in the sea where movement was difficult, Iida used an electric shock gun against sea gods and fishmen. There was no discomfort in his movements and there was nothing on the ground that could block his movements as the enemy was embarrassed.

Patsutsutsu── Patsutsutsutsu────…!

“Black kk, kk-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

The bodies of the black-crowned paleo cranes trembled and trembled.

Lee Ha smiled brightly as he watched them trembling and fainting, not even able to scream properly.

Then he shouted towards the direction where Rubini was hiding.

“Mr Roubini! “Did you find a tree trunk you could use as twine?”

“yes yes! “There was a tree vine, so I cut it down a little!”

He was confident that he would subdue him, and he told him to find an item nearby to capture him later.

Roubini was once again surprised by Leeha’s improvisational planning and ability to execute operations smoothly.

“Here you go.”

“I will do the tying, so please just stand a little away and look at the skill map. “We still don’t know how good the ears of whooping cranes are.”

“yes. “Don’t worry.”

Lee Ha groaned and tied the hands and feet of the Paleos. Until then, no one had ever been caught on Roubini’s holographic map.

“Okay, that’s it. Hey, hey!”

Lee Ha slapped Paleo, the black-crowned crane, on the cheek.

This is to awaken great helpers(?) who will provide us with the mountain of information we still need.
