Matan's Shooter

“Phew, I’m done with the skeletons. Have you caught all the zombies already?”

“Wow, you were really able to do it? If things got dangerous, we could have just run away. Kikit.”

The dagger was no longer visible in the Lizardia’s hand.

“Uh, don’t say that. It would have been difficult without Biyemi-nim.”“Is it because of that NPC?”

“Yes. Because of the quest failure condition……. It would be over when he dies.”

“Hmm. I see. We would need to wait until he gains his senses, right?”Biyemi asked while nodding his head.

“Well. That is a concern.”

Leeha also felt that the quest had progressed considerably.

He didn’t know what it meant to mumble alone. but it seemed that he was slowly regaining his memories.

‘But should we keep waiting here?’

It was a very dangerous situation. He only had a few sets of gunpowder left, and once more undead pop out, it would all be used up.

‘If more comes out, we will be in trouble……

At least, Leeha thought that this place was not something that two people in their 30s and 50s can survive.

At that moment, Lepanto began to come back to his senses.

“I…… am? Who am I? After seeing, I——!”

“L-Lepanto-nim?”

Lepanto, who had been muttering, grabbed his head again.

Please don’t make a mess this time!

“Please, sh-shut your mouth!”

Even though Leeha tried to stop him, Lepanto continued to struggle.

He shut his mouth so tightly that he could hear Leeha could hear Lepanto’s teeth snapping and grinding.

“A-a-a-ah, aaah- ”

“Huh?”

Lepanto screamed and lost consciousness.

“Uh, Lepanto-nim! Lepanto-nim!”

Did he die? Isn’t that absurd? Leeha put his hand under Lepanto’s nose. I don’t know if this will work in games too.

‘Please breath.’

Warm air came out of Lepanto’s nose.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. But, it seems he’s alive.”

Leeha dropped his shoulder, and Biyemi sighed. An NPC that passed out in a dangerous area.

“Will you stay here?”

“W-well, it looks like the quest is almost over, so I would like to ask for your help a little bit more.

It was a selfish thought, but Biyemi was the only person he could ask for help.

“Okay, I will help you for now. If Leeha-nim is asking for help, then I should help. By the way, I 

want to ask you something. Is that okay? Kikit.”

“What is it?”

Biyemi was asking in a roundabout way.

The lizard’s face approached and tried to whisper something into Leeha’s ear. as if he was afraid that someone could hear him.

“I-”

“Huh, people?”

As soon as Biyemi was about to speak, Leeha opened his mouth. There were some shadows behind Biyemi.

“What?”

“Are there people coming here?”

There was still quite a distance behind Biyemi’s back, but a group of shimmering shadows began to grow larger.

“Ara? This is an unpopular hunting ground, so no one comes- oh!”

“Why?”

“Damn it!……. Leeha-nim, please runaway- No, you can’t run away because of that NPC.”

“Why is that, Biyemi-nim?”

The people were getting closer.

Four…… No, five. Six. Six people. They looked like users, but why did Biyemi frown?

“This…… Things could get difficult, so I think you should prepare? I don’t think I can even take care of Hali-Hali-nim.”

Difficult? However, Leeha did not asked.

First of all. If Biyemi was nervous, it certainly wouldn’t be normal.

Even after a minute or so of reloading, when a little more time passed, he was able to properly see the people approaching them.

People Leeha knew.

No, he wasn’t familiar with their faces or nicknames, but he at least knew where they belong.

An image was drawn on their shield and armor. If the symbol was of a yellow rising sun….

“Rising Sun.”

Why are these bastards here?

Are they here to take revenge because of what happened on Sheymoore Mountain? Is it because I killed their guild members in the Kobold Village?

‘Right, Tikal or Nabal made a fuss about revenge, but it’s not time for them to connect yet? Did they contact their guildmates offline?’

The organization doesn’t seem to be that strong.

So what happened?

How did the Rising Sun know that I was here?

“Ara? Kikit, Hali-Hali-nim knows the Rising Sun too?”

“Yes?”

Too?

“Well, you might know them because they are famous…. Phew, the reason I have come this far-”

“Hey, you lizard bastard`!! Did you think that we wouldn’t be able to chase you, if you go outside the border!!!!!”

“It’s because of those guys.”

Even if he didn’t listen to Biyemi, he could tell.

The reason Biyemi came here, and the reason why he was embarassed a while ago.

“Did you have a conflict with Rising Sun?”

“I don’t know. They tried to extort an item from me, and I killed a few of their members, and they chased after me at every hunting ground and disturbed me.”

“What item did they want?”

“It’s an item used by a Venomancer, but it’s not a big deal.”

Biyemi sighed as if he was already used to it.

But, he had a serious look. Even for Leeha, the Rising Sun’s level seemed high.

They should be at least level 60.

‘If it’s an item that could make high levels come, it’s probably not a normal item.’ .

They even came for the Agonia Oso’s items. The item that Biyemi didn’t tell would be at least at that level.

“Ha, you snake bastard. You had a colleague? So you thought you could defeat us?”

“Give me your dagger while we are still asking nicely, you bastard.”

Dagger? Leeha glanced at Biyemi. But, I didn’t see a dagger?

“Hyung-nim, are you going to give it? The guy next to him also looks good with his armor.”

“Alright. If I get both, would I get another armband?”The crew of the Rising Sun began to slowly spread out.

It was to surround Leeha, Biyemi, and Lepanto who was lying on the ground.

“You know that you won’t be able to run away, right? And that killing outside the border doesn’t raise one’s chaotic level? Do you want to be leveled down when you die, or just give up?”

One of the Rising Sun members tore a scroll.

“Kikit, block teleport and return. I think they sent some high-level guys this time.”

Although the scroll was a level lower than the ‘Dimension Lock’ that Sage Hyein used, it still was an excellent escape prevention technique at their level.

“Ha, of course, you bastard. If you are in your 40s or 50s, wouldn’t it be right to send those who are in their 60s?”

Biyemi’s expression, who had been bluffing, distorted.

‘6 people at level 60.’

Leeha also faced the Rising Sun, but at that time, he fought using the terrain and monsters in the Kobold Village.

Guerilla tactics and head-on collisions are completely different.

‘We’re definitely at a disadvantage here. Neither number nor level…… We are even able to run away because of Lepanto.’

Of course, I have to help Biyemi, but can we win this fight?

-Hali-Hali-nim, can I ask you to attack first?

-Aren’t they the ones who will give up items anyway?

-What? Did you know? Kiki. I’m sorry, because of me……. -You have helped me get here. 

Instead, can I ask you a favor later?

-Kikkit, let’s turn things upside down. Okay.

Biyemi and Leeha talked using the party chat while looking at the enemies

.

Maybe because they were a party organized to catch a wizard, all of them were melee dealers.

‘Leeha, concentrate. You only need to catch six.’

Hereafter, it was only natural that he must live and protect Lepanto.

First of all, they should not be allowed to get close to a wizard, like Biyemi.

“You need to choose quickly! Are you going to give me a dagger or die? We have already sent our members to the nearby village! No matter how many times we log in again-  euhk！”

Taaang—!

Leeha did not need to use Calm Mind in this situation.

Hitting his target was a breeze.

‘One.’

As if he had already won, the head of the foolish.

“Oh? Ohh? Hyung-Hyung-nim! Hyingnim!”

“Naisu! Poison Spit!”

Kaaaahk, Twooo!

With Leeha’s lead, Biyemi ran out.

A series of poison spits with an extremely short casting time.

One guild member of Rising Sun, who lost their leader, was poisoned. “Kehak- Poison- Why is it so strong – Kahak, Detox-”

These guys came knowing that they would be dealing with a poison mage. There was no way they hadn’t prepared a detox poison. They just overlooked the fact that he was not an ordinary poison magician.

They wondered if the body of the guy, who was rushing to get the green bottle, would harden, and then it turned gray.

‘Two!’

Now there were only four left.

“K-kill! Kill them!”

“What is that gunslinger bastard?”

“Kill them! These guys! Run!” Poong–!

The warrior, who kicked the ground and narrowed the distance in an instant, wielded his sword.

Leeha also ran backward quickly, but it was not enough, and the warrior’s sword slashed across his shoulder.

“Keuk, Bayonet Charge!”

He used Bayonet Charge, but there was no way it would be effective against a full-fledged warrior. In addition, they were higher level than Leeha, so there was no way his attack would work in the first place.

Leeha attacked, but after that, he continued to defend.

In particular, he was in a hurry to avoid the warrior’s sharp blade, but he couldn’t stop it properly, so he started to get wounds on his body.

“Hali-hali-nim! Poison-”

“This lizard bastard! Why aren’t you giving me the dagger quickly!”

“If that’s your wish, then get it, you bastard!”

Biyemi also took out a dagger and swung it, but they have already experienced the fearsomeness of the dagger.

He made fun of Biyemi while avoiding close-quarter combat that could be reached by a dagger.

Biyemi was also a wizard.

For melee dealers who were well prepared for this dagger attack, such an attack could not work.

The marching plain became noisy in an instant at the fierce momentum of the enemies jumping from all directions.

The sound of the cold weapons crashing, the spirits, and the sound of skills.

“Slash!”

“Kaak!”

The lizardia’s chest was cut.

Biyemi quickly retreated, but the assassin with a small knife continued to follow.
