Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 793

Without hesitation, Kijung shouted, “Jin Gonggong-nim! Confirm the coordinates first!”

“Understood, 『Polymorph: Swallow』!”

“I will move according to the coordinates divided by the Corrupted World Tree Forest standard! Since the Chimera Legion is approaching, once the coordinates are confirmed, Hyein hyung, you should-”

“Don’t worry, Kay. We’ve practiced this countless times before. After safely escorting the guild members, I will immediately head to Azura and bring back the main forces.”

Hyein also stood steadfastly by holding the staff tightly in both hands, in agreement with Kijung’s decision. There had been a few reconnaissance missions before, but this was the first time they received a report that the Chimera Legion was approaching. Nevertheless, the reason they remained composed in such a critical situation was that they had conducted rehearsals based on various hypothetical scenarios.

“Great! It’s been a while since I stretched my legs a bit!”

“Hic, hikkik, it’s not something to be so excited about, Bobae-nim.”

“I’ve been so bored lately! I haven’t seen any Manticores! All I hear is weird firecracker sounds, so I thought it was time for an event soon! Anyway, if Kijung-ssi is here, we should be able to handle it, right?”

Bobae aimed her arrow toward Kijung and pulled the bowstring tightly as she expressed her protest. For users who remembered the 1:1 showdown between Kijung and Gibrid, the onslaught of the Chimera Legion was nothing to be scared of.

Meanwhile, the real person in question, Kijung, looked around with a perplexed expression, even needing to quickly hide that.

“Luckily, it’s already confirmed that the Chimera Legion is weak against fire, so we just need to adapt to that. It would be great if Pyro-nim were here at times like this.”

“That’s true. We almost don’t have any fire-based skills on our side except for Tale hyung…”

Depending on the number, chimeras were generally monsters worthy of confrontation. With Bobae, an outstanding long-range dealer ranker, on their side, they were confident they could manage.

‘If it’s a problem, it must be Gibrid. Should I call for Leeha hyung or even Kidd-nim from last time? Would that be fine?”

Kijung recalled Kidd fighting alone against a manticores pack. However, without knowing the enemy’s location or the sincerity of their attack, he couldn’t just summon them.

“Don’t worry too much, Guild Master.”

“Huh? Why? Do you have some secret plan, Biyemi-nim?”

As Kijung pondered seriously, Biyemi approached him. With a flick of his lizard tail, he winked mischievously.

“I heard some good news from Minis. We may be able to call for reinforcements if needed.”

“Reinforcements? What do you mean?”

“Even the 1st and 2nd rankers were not just idling around. So, we might have some help if things get tricky. Hehe.”

“I’m just grateful that there’s someone like him who shares such news.”

“What- What are you talking about? Alexander? Leeha Jiwon? Why are they involved? Someone said there’s some news?”

The recent activities of the top 1st and 2nd rankers had stirred up a lot of talk not only in the community but also within Middle Earth. Their sightings were not reported on the Main Continent, and even though it was said that they were stranded on the New Continent, with a considerable number of users widely dispersed there, the news was still unheard of. Nevertheless, Biyemi was different. Unlike ordinary users, the ‘informants’ he contacted had a slightly better information network than regular users did.

“Hikikit, since it’s something a top ten ranker told me, it’s somewhat trustworthy, right?”

“T-Ten? Who-”

“Petyr!? Biyemi-ssi! Are you still in contact with that unlucky man?”

Amidst Kijung’s head-shaking confusion, bova was the first to interject, immediately identifying the user that Biyemi had contacted and questioning him.

“We were briefly allied during the voyage to the New Continent! What’s good about associating with a guy who’s involved in the assassination quest of King Fibiel!”

“Thanks to him, I heard the news. Kit. Love and Peace, Bobae-ssi.”

“Well, anyway… They say he’s good with words.”

When Biyemi sharply stated, Bobae couldn’t argue any further. However, Biyemi wasn’t someone who blindly followed Petyr, despite being a character who had previously deleted her. In fact, if we were to talk about negative feelings, Biyemi’s feelings towards Petyr were much stronger than what Bobae felt. Wasn’t it he who had caused Biyemi’s previous character to be deleted? Yet, Biyemi occasionally exchanged messages with Petyr and he, in turn, sincerely listened to the opinions of the person who had caused his character to be deleted, and even offered help. It was a conversation exchanging truths mixed with lies and truths uncovered by lies.

“So you’re saying we can call Alexander and Leeha Jiwon? Phew, at least a little relief-”

“Coordinates confirmed! It’s at the 36th point at the southern end of the Corrupted World Tree Forest. Near sector A-065!”

When Kijung let out a sigh of relief, Jin Gonggong who had transformed into a swallow returned.

“Confirmed! Hyein-hyungnim! A-”

“I’m already working on it, Kay. And it’s not the coordinates of sector A-065 I need to draw. Please be quiet for a moment.”

“Yes, understood.”

Upon hearing Jingeong’s call, Hyein was already in the middle of drawing the magic circle. Splitting the area into alphanumeric sections, horizontally and vertically, was indeed Hyein’s idea.

TL’s Note:

The raw had an error and one of the previous chapters merged with another. That’s why this chapter seems cut off.
