Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 747

Matan’s Shooter 747

Leeha alternated between looking shocked at the two people.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that?”

“You must be amazed by my exceptional deducing skills. Or were you astounded by the couple of our unofficial ‘Minis-Fibiel Joint Investigation Team’?”

“Th-That! I told you not to use the word ‘couple’!”

“It’s a couple because there are two people. If there were three, it would be a triple! Four would be a quadruple! Isn’t that right?”

“Ugh, that mouth of yours!”

Shin Nara moved her hand swiftly. Normally, her antics would involve pulling out her precious sword and swinging it at Lark, but she merely tapped Lark on the shoulder this time.

Even after being hit, Lark still grinned as if he was pleased with himself.

Leeha sighed as he looked at them, then spoke.

“To be honest, I was slightly impressed, but that conversation ruined it all. Now, then… Based on the ‘worst-case’ scenario, what do we do?”

As Leeha quickly returned to reality, sinnara looked at him with a somewhat strange expression.

However, she was also a woman burdened with the duty of being part of Pibiel’s capital defense knights.

Soon, she shook her head and returned to reality as well.

“Blaugrunn-ssi, how powerful is the undead dragon?”

“First of all, we need to determine if it’s a or a . The former merely uses its physical abilities, but the latter can also use magic to a certain extent. I’ve heard that a high-level caster can even reproduce the breath attack in the latter’s case.”

“A breath attack? That’s insane… How about control? Does it get harder with more dragons?”

“That also depends on the caster. A high-level necromancer can imbue undead dragons with their living intelligence and instincts, but a low-level necromancer would just have a gigantic dragon-shaped puppet.”

“Hmm, I get the feeling… but the situation isn’t getting better.”

If the realistic scenario was correct, at what level should Igor and Faust be considered?

‘They managed to raid an adult dragon together. Igor has enough speed and strength to wipe out a mid-sized town in under 20 minutes.’

If Faust is similar to Igor, his undead dragon would certainly not be weak.

“If we assume five undead dragons… wouldn’t Alexander just get overwhelmed? If five adult lich dragons are breathing fire, even Bailephus, despite being ancients, would find it hard to endure. And I’m supposed to stop that?”

With the expedition to the new continent nearing its end, it isn’t easy to draft knights or other forces.

Gathering users to block them?

Users of moderate skill levels are more likely to hinder rather than help.

In the end, the only option is to gather rankers.

But this isn’t a simple task and over-relying on rankers lately has been problematic.

It’s not only hard to gather players obsessed with leveling up, but they also have a fragmented contact system. Even if they are gathered, they must stand guard 24 hours a day to stop the attack, which isn’t easy.

More importantly, it’s unclear exactly ‘where’ to block.

“Then…”

“How do we…”

“Stop it…”

The three of them sighed deeply. On a night darkened by moonlight, two fluttering robes were looking at the city.

“Hehehe, is it here this time? What’s around here?”

“White dragon. It’s been 560 years since it became an adult.”

“Oho, the toughest one yet? Can you handle it? And you’ll have to do it alone this time.”

Igor looked at Faust and laughed. The fangs that hadn’t been visible between the giant’s lips now jutted out.

“It’s fine because ‘he’ is there. Besides, are you worried about me? You’re the one who has to handle a city this time, not just a village. The knight order there is on a different level from the security forces we’ve encountered so far.”

“Haha! I should ask you, are you worried about me? A mere knight order?”

Hearing Igor’s hearty voice, Faust also smiled. The teeth of the Lizardia were already sharp. But Faust’s two fangs looked remarkably different from what one would believe were mere lizard teeth. No, it wasn’t just a matter of his fangs.

The ‘pure-white’ appearance of Faust, the Lizardia, under the dim moonlight now had dark Brown spots resembling those of a leopard.

“Of course, I’m worried. Even with ‘him,’ doing this alone means this dragon is going to be quite noisy. If we don’t resolve it in time, it will disrupt our plans. You know, those quick-witted ones might have already started investigating—”

“A lowly 9th rank and such insolent talk. Don’t worry. I’ll finish it in 25 minutes. The moment that gutless ninja locks the space, I’ll enter.”

“Once we clear this lair, we’ll have completed more than half our goal.”

“Ha ha ha, what a slow pace. Just ‘half’ with this?”

“What?”

When Faust looked over, Igor immediately shut his mouth.

He chastised himself for the excited slip of the tongue right before a battle, but fortunately, Faust didn’t press further.

Bwoooong…

A giant purple dome was formed over the distant city.

“Let’s go, berserker— no… .”

“Stop calling me by that unfamiliar name. It’s not cool at all.”

Igor pulled his robe’s hood tighter.

At the moment when all the muscles in his body tightened and contracted, Igor added one more thing.

“… I forgot your name. Was it Death-something? Let’s just go with lizard Head.”

“What? I’m—”

Before Faust could retort, Igor had already launched his body forward.

The city’s lights were barely visible in the distance. However, Igor’s figure was already out of sight.

How far had he leaped in a single bound?

Faust chuckled.

“Hmm… an ignorant giant. I am .”

Faust turned and mumbled to himself.

Though it was something he would never normally do, at this moment, they didn’t lack the desire to ‘announce themselves.’

Igor.

Faust.

They were among the few users across Middle Earth who had completed the rare .

“I can feel it, this scent, this fresh blood scent!”

Igor, even as a Berserker, had a number of self-buffs.

His regular movements, even as a 3rd ranker, were beyond the imagination of ordinary users. But what about now, after his 2nd job advancement?

Despite the massive spatial lockdown, the city was in the process of closing its gates and preparing for a sudden attack, but before the gates could even close, he had arrived at the city gate.

“Something is coming over there!”

“It could be related to the spatial lockdown! All units, prepare for—”

That was as far as they got.

The guards and five knights defending the city gates were sliced down in a single stroke. The unreal sight of their upper and lower halves separating simultaneously stunned even the users who were watching.

“What is that?”

“A monster? No, what kind of crazy monster would—”

The blood was shot straight at them. Not a single user could fend off the blood droplets that were launched ruthlessly, like bullets.

A literal ambush of blood!

The blood projectiles that penetrated the armor and shields pulled out more blood from within the victims’ bodies.

“Haha! This is it, this is what I wanted!”

Igor did not simply pass by the users.

Approaching the users who were staggered by the blood bullets in an instant, he swung his sword.

His greatsword, covered in countless saw blades, sprung out from his robe. A single hit was sufficient.

The users turned to light with an attack that felt less like being sliced and more like tearing apart.

“.”

Before the puddle of blood from the fallen could turn into light, Igor reformed it into blood marbles and scattered them at the surrounding users.

Blood calling forth blood, a bloody spectacle. It was a new style of combat for Igor as a Bloodsucker.

This was also why the buildings in the towns and places where the damage had occurred were excessively blood-stained.

It took merely 6 seconds for Igor to kill all the beings near the city gate, deal with the users and escapees, and start running down the main street.

In just 6 seconds, he had killed a total of 17 people.

Destroying a medium-sized town in merely about 10 minutes was not a difficult task for him.

“Break the spatial lockdown!”

“I can’t! It seems like it’s not locked with a normal scroll! A special scroll? Who would use such a high-grade item—”

“Damn it, who locked this!? What are we supposed to do!?”

“There— there! It’s coming! That— that’s coming!”

Within less than a minute, Igor, who killed nearly 50 people, started to provoke screams everywhere he moved.

They realized.

They could never escape from this place.

Alerting others that a being using blood was attacking Fiorenza City was the best they could do.

-Indiscriminate attack on Fiorenza City-

Igor’s supersonic speed did not even allow for that much.

Users trying to whisper while fleeing, the shop owners locking their doors – none of them could convey their own plight, nor what was happening in the city right now.

He is just one person.

No matter how fast his movements are, being confined to a single body means there are limits.

This was common sense.

That was until they saw Igor’s movements.

“This is ridiculous! How can he move so fast that we can’t even see him!?”

“It’s a bug! A bug, he’s a hacker! That guy’s a cheater!”

“Ka-ka, who’s calling me a cheater!?”

Slash—!

They couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the attacker.

A massive robe suddenly appeared before them, with blood-red eyes gleaming from within. Before the users could even recognize his appearance or comprehend his voice, their bodies were already split horizontally or vertically.

Since they were killed in a single strike, their nicknames didn’t appear in the alert window. Also, few remembered the voice of the 3rd-ranked player who had long sided with Chiyou and hidden his presence, which was another reason why this incident didn’t spread widely.

“Now, 5 minutes, very smooth. Extremely smooth. Ka-ka-ka!”

His combat was flawless, prioritizing quick-witted users, then the knight order forming ranks, and finally the trembling, helpless users. Igor’s methodical killing was perfect.

If not for those unseen eyes watching him.

’There’s another idiot standing over there! With that tall stature, he’ll be satisfying to slice!’

On the rooftop of a building in a corner of the city, someone was watching Igor. Without delay, Igor launched himself towards that person.

The initial distance was closed in an instant, and Igor swung his sword without a word.

Screeeech…!

“Hmph?!”

He was momentarily taken aback by the massive resonant sound.

Until now, not a single person had blocked Igor’s sword as he traveled to the ninth village!

“So, it’s like that.”

“Who are you?”

Igor growled, baring his fangs.

“84 counts of public property damage, sabotage in 5 locations, an unspeakable number of murders… You are identified as a heinous criminal threatening the national interests of Minis.”

The user on the rooftop pulled down their hood.

A distorted face of Cheka shone from there.

“I am arresting you in the act, Igor.”

“Who? Who will?”

Swish—!

Igor wasn’t someone to be intimidated by a no-name secret police.

A massive cross slash from right to left!

As Igor’s saw-toothed sword swung, Cheka immediately took a guard stance. Igor couldn’t help but smile.

“You think you can block my sword with just your arm!? You must be utterly insane!”
