Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 418



The remaining users, such as Pitre and Shinnara, were handling the occasional fishmen, but their number was gradually increasing.

In a little while, fishmen may board the ship to the extent that users will not be able to stop them.

“Damn it, how can you run away from the guys chasing you for more than 20 days without any resistance to the waves?!”

“I didn’t go in with that intention from the beginning! “Try a little more acceleration!”

Even though Berk and Kraven’s users were bickering, they did not lose focus on controlling the ship.

But it was exactly as Burke said.

It is possible to maintain a similar speed assuming that there is an appropriate check on the monsters in the first place.

What if there is no check?

It is natural that the fishmen, kraken, and serpents are gradually approaching the ship as they are now.

“Hyein. Are you ready once again?”

“Can we raise it to the Serpent’s level?”

Kid nodded at Hyein’s words and took out a revolver.

“You should know better, Kid, that you’re not the type of guy to be eaten by the Wild Bunch.”

“But I can’t just sit there like you and not even try, Luger.”

“Who was letting go?”

Took, took.

Ruger fired two shots in succession on the Cobalt Blue Python. The corners of Kid’s mouth rose slightly as he glanced at the sight.

Luger is like the embodiment of struggle.

After losing to Alexander, he refined himself even more and grew.

Kid let out a chuckle as he saw the loading method that was different from usual.

“anyway… “Everyone is a master at pretending it’s not the case.”

“It’s not like Leeha. And if I can’t get rid of even one snake-head like this, there’s nothing I can do because I don’t know what he’ll nag me about.”

“I agree with you on that point.”

Kid raised his right arm. After finishing loading, Luger raised his left arm next to Kid.

“Casting is complete!”

“Go wild, Kid. “Especially this time, my body will assist me.”

With Hyein and Luger cheering, Kid took a deep breath and stepped forward.

“〈Reverse Gravity〉, 〈Space Grab〉”

By the time Hyein’s staff was stuck into the ground, Kidd had already taken his stance in the air.

* * *

Shiii─────

Shaaaaa──────

The Serpents, who were gliding over the water in an S shape, suddenly stopped moving forward when they spotted a human jumping into the air.

The body was so huge that it was already possible to secure a height higher than the main mast of the ship just by raising its head. Of course, the ‘snake eyes targeting prey’ were also enormous.

“Uh, Mr. Kidd!?”

“What are you going to do again – ‘Thunderbolt’!”

Light flashed from Armboost’s crossbow.

The powerful electrical energy contained in the flying bolt is the worst attack on aquatic life.

Siiiiit───────── teeing—!

However, the White Serpent, as if wondering what was going on, raised its tail and lightly struck the bolt away.

“… The bolt doesn’t even get stuck—”

“It even ignores the electrical properties.”

“Hakit, how dare you react to that speed?”

It seemed that just one tail wag was enough to prove its hardness, ignoring its attributes, and agility, but Armboost’s attack was not completely useless.

Because I was able to divert the attention of the Serpents towards Kid for even a second.

Shaaaaa──────!

Only then did the serpents turn their eyes towards Kid again and rush in from the surface as if they were going to eat him!

“Luger! Just 3 more seconds—”

“You damn bastard, you go up with confidence and use skills that take a long time!” 〈Strengthening shells〉, 〈Koloss Kugel〉.”

To use the skill, Luger lifted the “Cobalt Blue Python” while making a clanging sound.

The gun barrel, which was heavy enough to make an unusually groaning sound, managed to hang on the deck railing.

A lot of skills have been poured in so far.

However, other users have already figured out that no magic, including explosions and flames, can reach him.

‘Kolos Koogle? What does it mean? It would be difficult to waste time if I used an ambiguous skill for no reason-‘

Hyein was worried for a moment as she watched Luger take his stance next to her.

Sage, an analytical user type, and [Piercing] Musketeer, an instinctive hunting type, will never be able to understand each other.

“Kkkkkk, Serpents, your weakness is that you don’t avoid attacks and you have confidence that you can take them! “In times like this, there’s no need to use complicated skills!”

Slam!

Luger also knows that serpents delete skills.

Therefore, Luger’s plan became rather simple.

“Simpler! “Push only with [power]!”

Luger finished aiming and immediately pulled the trigger. Heavy drinking, several times more than usual, continued.

Quaaaang, quaaaang───────────!

Colos Coogle!

When the skill, as its name suggests, “Giant Shot Put” was cast, what was shot out of Luger’s cobalt blue python was like two rocks.

“Wow!?”

“W-what is that size!”

“How can a bullet be bigger than the muzzle of a gun?”

It was a skill that left users momentarily confused.

Normally, the shell should not be visible due to its incredible speed, but since the size of the shell had grown beyond imagination, it was clearly visible to the users.

“I’ll crush your head, snake bastards!”

The weight of the shells, which have been rapidly enlarged by the skill, is approximately 30 kg each! Although the speed has decreased slightly, the projectile’s speed is still about 340 km per hour!

The serpents were momentarily taken aback as they watched each 30kg shell flying at the same speed as the speed of sound.

Shaaaaaaaaaat──────?!

The eye light shines, but it doesn’t disappear! This is not a skill, it is literally an enhanced physical strike!

“Leeha, Hyein! If you’re such a smart guy, you’ll be quick at calculating, right? When a 30kg weight flies at 340km per hour, what is the kinetic energy of that object?!”

“―Hey, about…”

Even though she was suddenly asked a question, Hyein did not hesitate.

Spatial coordinates are based on physics and mathematics, and questions like that were not difficult at all for Hyein, just because mental calculations were cumbersome.

Rather, at this moment!

Sage and Musketeer, who seem to be unable to understand each other at all, can be shocked by the same ‘shame’.

“W-about 133 million Joules?! “This is greater than the total energy generated when a light vehicle weighing 800 kg crashes at 60 km/h!”

Total kinetic energy 133,783,704J.

Luger was ignorant. No, in some ways it was the smartest one.

Si, siiiit——!

The serpents quickly swung their tails and tried to hit the cannonballs. However, energy is conserved.

Tuquaaaaaaaaaah

The Serpents’ bodies swayed and bounced.

The strongest aquatic creature fell into the sea.

“… If you ask for just 3 seconds, are you putting yourself in the spotlight? …”

Kid was embarrassed and clicked his tongue, but it wasn’t something he said out of disgust.

What if you can’t show off the agility of the black serpents, white serpents, and sea serpents floating on the sea?

Right now is the best opportunity.

“If you’re grateful, crawl between my legs, Kid!”

“No thanks at all.”

Luger knew that too.

Kid answered bluntly and used a skill.

It was a very quiet voice, but Luger at Kid’s feet could clearly hear it.

It was the name of the skill that surprised Luger even before the skill was completely cast.

“〈7 People in the Wilderness〉”

* * *

“Such a damn bastard…”

Luger had no choice but to curse out of instinct, without even knowing who he was swearing at.

There are as many as six blurry figures appearing next to Kid, who is floating in the air.

‘At the time of Wild Bunch, there were three of us. Does this mean that you have grown since you captured Croland?’

How many bullets were fired by the four figures, including Kid?

Ruger remembers that there was an incredible burst of rapid fire, comparable to that of most automatic rifles.

‘It was huge back then, but now the attack power has doubled.’

Six ghosts lined up to the left and right, centered around Kid. The seven people, including Kid, had similar but slightly different poses.

‘… If last time it was automatic rifle level [rapid fire], this time it’s almost Gatling level.’

Luger could tell the power of the skill without even looking at it. Preparation was fast and shooting was even faster.

“let’s go.”

At Kid’s signal, the revolvers began firing.

Seven people, each carrying four guns, fire six shots each.

The gunshots continued endlessly, to the point that the users’ ears were deafened.

───────────!

And twice.

──────────────!

There were 336 bullets fired in an instant.

168 bullets hit the Black Serpent’s scales, and 168 bullets tore through the White Serpent’s body.

The fishmen floating on the surface could not react to Kid’s attack.

Seeing the serpents they had managed to drag, which even the fishmen themselves could not properly handle, were lying limply on the sea surface.

“Whoa…” …”

Kid gave the revolver a couple of turns and put it back in his holster.

“Tsk, you got dirty after going around with Alexander. “What do you use a pistol for?”

“Hmm, hmm, something like this… “It’s called swag, Luger.”

“Sounds like swag. “It’s yuck, yuck.”

Hyein, who was next to her, was once again confused as to whether the users who were making such foolish jokes were the same users who had just used the skill.

It almost seemed as if [The Three Musketeers, descendants of the heroes of the Second Man-and-War War] could only do this if they had that kind of personality.

However, the following cannot be specifically denied. This is because Hyein’s guess included the following.

* * *

“Ghost… ? “Is this a summoning skill?”

“Hakit, I’m so dirty, I need to find a new job as a descendant of heroes.”

“Ebaahhhhhhhhhhh!”

“and… But if you think it’s going to shoot at me – how on earth am I supposed to stop it?”

There was an explosion of admiration, astonishment, and cheers on the Marlin and New-Serpent.

Two serpents fell into the sea, and time passed as the fish people were dumbfounded.

It was nothing short of a precious gap created by the two musketeers.

“Whoa… “It has finally been defeated, but it was truly a monster.”

“About three-quarters of my HP was lost in one tail swipe… “I don’t want to get hit again.”

This is because other users, including Mu Dosa and Cabbage Dosa, have time to recover.

“Those Kraken guys are really annoying. Bailippus, what are the remaining moves?”

[There are about eight of them. I can’t even stretch my legs anymore. Are you planning to only move underwater?]

Bailipus wandered in the sky, snorting. Since the first breath, the Krakens have been afraid to even raise their legs above sea level.

Should I call him quick-witted or weak?

For Alexander and Baylipus, these monsters were not difficult to deal with, but they continued to irritate them.

“Please also keep magic in check.”

[Know. We need to prevent it from heading towards the ship.]

If you pay attention just a little bit, at least one of the kraken will approach the ship.

There are various defensive skills such as trappers, sculptors, and shamans, but they are only effective when blocking one or two animals.

Alexander also knew well that as the number increased, the probability of the ship being destroyed increased exponentially.

“Luckily, it will be the performance of the Three Musketeers. “Baylippus, you did an excellent job of stopping the serpents you were worried about.”

[hmm. It wasn’t just about Leeha. Luger and Kid are also growing significantly. Aren’t you nervous, Alexander?]

[Flame Strike.]

Kukwakwakwakwa, even while talking to Alexander, Bailipus threw flame magic into the sea.
