Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“Hwahong-! Stop, you bastard!”

Kijeong followed the shadow, with the symbol of the Hwahong Guild.

Boom-!

Dust rose from the spot where Kijeong was as he sprinted.

“Kijeong, let’s go together!”

It was impossible for Leeha to catch up to users who were level 200 or higher as they ran in earnest.

An untimely chase took place at the capital, Aelstock.

“Kkak! W-What?”

“They’re using skills in the capital?”

“Won’t the Sacred Knight’s stop it?”

Although it was not an attack skill, using skills that disturb order was not tolerated.

Even so, Kijeong and the shadow he was chasing did not spare their skills! Other users were startled and moved out of the way.

‘Was he following Kijeong from the beginning?’

Hwahong guild? No, Ram Hwayeon? Kijeong was definitely one of the main powers of the Byeolcho guild. Did they do this before the declaration of war took effect?

‘It’s in line with Ram Hwayeon’s personality.’

Didn’t Sun Tzu’s Art of War come from her country? She probably already knew better than anyone how to achieve victory before the war.

Besides, Kijeong was one of the main powers, but there was no way that they had only attached people to him.

‘Not only the guild master of the Byeolcho, but also all the major powers from Dragon Knights and Seomgwang, must have had people attached to them as well.’

The war had already begun. Leeha admired Hwayeon’s quick action.

“Haa, haa- did you get him, Kijeong?” After running for a while, Leeha arrived at Kijeong’s location. Kijeong, who had already reached the eastern gateway of the capital, trembled with regret.

“No, wasn’t he too fast? Hyung! Didn’t you see that bastard when you came?”

“Oh? N-No. There was no one behind you when I came.”

“Where did he go? I don’t think he left. He was fast. He was as fast as Sasuke-hyung, so I wasn’t able to follow him. Assholes! They tried to kill me in the capital.”

Kijeong might be good at combat, but he certainly had little experience in these kinds of schemes.

In Leeha’s eyes, it was all pure tactics.

He wondered if they sent the assassin to kill Kijeong in the capital, but just gathering information would have sufficed.

“Did you see? Did you see, hyung? Hwahong are such bastards. Ram Hwayeon is such a bitch.”

“R-right. I saw it well.”

“But you still won’t join us?”

“Cough, I’ll think about it.”

“What is there to think about! This is huge! The biggest war in Middle Earth history- well, it might not be the biggest, but anyway, at least in terms of the Fibiel Kingdom, it would be the biggest war, wouldn’t it?”

Kijeong raised his voice as he did not understand Leeha.

His frustration for chasing the Hwahong guild member still lingered, and his voice grew louder.

So, Leeha calmly spoke.

“That’s right.”

“Huh?”

“This will be the biggest war in the history of the Fibiel Kingdom.”

“S-so?”

“It’s not just about thinking that the war would be great or huge. It’s not only about what one would gain from that war. One also needs to think about the things one would lose because of the war not only me but you too.”

It’s not just about leveling down or dropping items. Leeha knew this because he already experienced guild war once with Rising Sun.

The relationship between people will never be the same as before.

A lot of things would change because of war.

“Haha, you’ve changed, hyung.”

“This bastard! It’s because I’m worried about you.”

And Kijeong agreed with Leeha’s words with a level of excitement like a wild boar.

At least, it didn’t change how much Kijeong liked Leeha.

“Okay. For now, I will tell it to our guild master. Think about it, hyung.”

“Okay. Even if I don’t join your guild-.”

“Huh?”

Kijeong tilted his head as Leeha murmured.

“Ah, it’s nothing. Go, now. You must be busy preparing for the war.”

“Okie. I will go now!”

Shwaak-!

Kijeong tore a scroll and disappeared.

Leeha, who was left alone, murmured out loud what he was trying to say to Kijeong.

“I will protect you as much as I can Kijeong. From that damned Russian.”

Agromni Igor. Berserker ranked 3rd. Rumors have grown so big, that it couldn’t be helped for him to appear.

Besides, it was a war that Fei Wu would be participating in.

‘Just appear, Igor. Even if I have to die, I will get revenge.’

It would be different from the last time. Leeha was not a level 20 anymore and did not know anything. He was angry at the madman who cut people’s heads. After he was convinced that all interest in him had waned, Leeha unblocked all whispers.

To get revenge, he needed equipment.

-Hello, this is Ha Leeha. Do you want to buy the [Setting Sun Desperado] guild?

The guild name was also a great trade item.

The sun had risen in Middle Earth. Based on Middle Earth’s time, the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho will start in two days.

Leeha smiled as he patted his pocket.

A middle-aged user who fell in love with classic movies and Leeha’s videos bought the guild name from Leeha. He wanted to be like a movie actor.

‘And the money he gave was a whopping 100 gold!’

It cost 10 gold to create a guild. In other words, Leeha’s video inflated its value and earned 10 times.

Having the [Setting Sun Desperado] guild name doesn’t make one capable of fighting like Leeha, nor does it make one look like a movie star.

‘That’s why I can’t understand a collector’s mind. Kek.’

In addition, he had an additional source of happiness.

The leftover money from the Rising Sun damage compensation! When he got a call from the bank asking him to visit, Leeha went there, and he got another unexpected profit.

‘It’s a whopping 88 gold!’

At first glance, Rising Sun’s vault had about 4000 gold before they disbanded. About 500 million Korean Won!

It must have been an emergency fund, in other words, it was intended to be used to dispose of Rising Sun’s obstacles.

‘Those bastards had 4000 gold as an emergency fund.’

88 gold was a lot of money, it was close to 10 million Won, but compared to 4000 gold, it was ridiculously small.

It meant that Rising Sun had many victims.

“In any case, just like that, I got 188 gold in an instant! Haha.”

He naturally laughed.

Leeha visited the auction house early in the morning. Most importantly, Leeha needed a new musket.

“I graduated from the low-level store items…… That’s why I need more money.”

Looking around the auction bulletin board, Leeha felt troubled.

His abilities were already exceptional. Of course, in order to buy a musket that matched his abilities, he needed more money.

‘Of course, 188 gold would be enough to buy it.’

He couldn’t shake the idea that it was somehow a waste.

Most importantly, Leeha already had a ‘guaranteed weapon’. The musket he would get once he cleared Miss Elizabeth’s Will quest.

[Black Bess].

‘Since I don’t know the performance of that item, I will get this one.’

There was nothing wrong with buying a good musket. I can compare the two muskets in the future, he would turn the worse musket into a pistol.

‘There’s no need to dispose of Needle Gun-pistol, I can just use two pistols. Well, if it doesn’t feel right, I can sell it to a store or dispose of it.’

Then one item caught his eye. Leeha’s body shivered as the huge musket caught his eyes.

A super-strong musket that weighed 6.5kg boasted a dignified, reddish-brown appearance.

[Excellent Carbine Musket]

Attack power: 3,150

Range: 40m

Attack Speed: 1 shot per minute

Requirement:

Strength 130 or higher,

Agility 600 or higher,

Black Powder,

Iron bullet,

Ramrod

Description: A powerful musket used by marines of the Kraven Kingdom. Its heavy weight and long barrel make it possible to shoot accurately even from a shaky ship.

‘T-Three thousand! The attack power is 3150?!’

The attack power of the Needle Gun when it was a musket was 688. But what was this? It was 5 times stronger?

‘If I had an item like this earlier, wouldn’t it have been easier to aim at a different part instead of a headshot?’

Unless one had heavy armor, with the musket’s attack power, one would die even if they only got hit in the shoulder, side, or thigh.

Leeha wanted to press buy immediately, but Leeha soon lowered his head.

“Kuwaa……! The agility! Strength! Why didn’t I put some points into strength!”

Leeha blamed himself for neglecting strength while only paying attention to item manufacturing and critical hits.

If it’s agility, it was already 764. It had been a long time since he passed 600! With teary eyes he looked for other muskets, but most of them had strength limitations.

‘Why was I so engrossed in agility?! Shit. Although I have high agility compared to my level……

Leeha searched lower and lower for muskets that had lower strength requirements. The lower he got, the less items he could find.

“Really…… What’s the point of having a lot of money? I can’t even get a premium musket. Should I take a low-class one?”

If the item was of lower rank, the required stats would also decrease.

However, after he saw the monstrous musket, nothing else caught his eyes.

‘It’s only like this when you’re using a gun- No, I have a lot of money…… then I don’t need to buy a lower rank, right?’

He didn’t need to buy a lower rank. Rather, what if it’s a high-rank low-level item? In the same way, the required stats will be less.

“Right! That’s it!”

Leeha changed the filter. Higher than the special grade! There was only one search result

. The musket, which was already an unpopular item, did not even have a lot of high-rank items in the market.

However, there are times in life when one doesn’t need two muskets.

“Ugh……. This……

[Special Hummingbird]

Range: 40m

Attack Speed: 1 shot per minute

Effect: Agility +8

Requirement:

Strength 70 or higher,
Agility 730 or higher,
Gunpowder,
Iron bullet,
Ramrod,

Description: A very light musket made of silver aspen wood. As it is light, it easily shakes, and aiming is difficult, making it difficult for an ordinary person to handle. If handled properly, it will be more accurate than a hummingbird. Can you suck honey?

The color of the butt and barrel were dark gray. A musket that had a gray tone overall, with dark cast iron barrel and gray paint

“Strength 73 and agility 764…”

The requirements directly matched Leeha’s abilities. Besides the ‘special rank’, the requirements were also overwhelming.

‘No, this is not a simple low-level high-grade item. In fact, the required stats were huge! The total stats required for the Carbine was 730. However this gun “… 800……!’

When was it registered for auctioning? It wasn’t only for a day or two. Because there were not many people who invested stats in an unusual way like this.

Leeha reached out towards the musket as if he had been waiting for a long time.

[Special Hummingbird]

Attack power: 4,760

Leeha’s hand wrapped around the musket. Its performance was worthy of the 130 gold expenditure.
