Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

The only monster with color in a rocky mountain range entirely covered in gray.

“It’s been a while, Brass Golem.”

Lee Ha laughed.

The reason I came all the way up here was because of that guy.

It is easy to recognize, is large in size, and moves slowly. Although there are some cases where it moves, there is a limitation where you have to stop for more than a few seconds to use the ‘Stomp’ skill.

‘It’s perfect as a practice partner!’

The clicks have been adjusted below.

We had already set it back to the 4km distance level, but we needed to make it more accurate.

At this distance, even if the muzzle is off by just 1 mm, the difference is such that it cannot even reach the target.

‘In other words, the first important thing is measuring distance. The size of the brass golem is well over 10m. If we look at the size as a standard… in terms of proportion – around 4,025m, 4,030m. Click to adjust quarter… moving target….’

The brass golem was moving.

There must have been heavy footsteps, but I couldn’t hear them at all. Now you have to adjust the clicks in 1/4 increments.

Very finely. Delicately.

‘Ignore wind direction and speed. Good launch angle. Good visibility. Target acquired… Click compensation based on movement.’

Leeha suddenly thought that it was fortunate that 《Joint Fixation: Upper》 did not restrict the movement of the arm.

If it had been fixed once and prevented from moving, it would not have been possible to adjust the click, and the sniping would have naturally failed.

‘Thank you to the Middle Earth production team for their consideration… 《Snipe》.’

Black Beth’s gun barrel flashed.

Currently, the upper and lower joints are added to the expert’s snipe. Lee Ha was able to guess what his maximum range was.

───Phew──────!

The brass golem is still moving.

One step, two steps, three steps.

I could see users coming up from below. What are the characteristics of a brass golem? You’ll probably use the stomp, where you raise your fist and slam it down. You will have to walk a little further down.

Lee Ha took aim at the expected point and took a deep breath.

And click again to adjust.

Users have arrived. I saw warriors rushing and wizards casting something. You shouldn’t worry.

There is only one thing to worry about now.

myself.

──Haaaaa────!

Even at the moment of exhaling, Leeha’s chest does not rise or fall.

Until you exhale all your breath and feel like your body is empty.

It waits until even the slightest movement stops, as if locking the body, which has already been tightened by external forces, from the inside.

Take off. And at that point, pull the trigger.

The time required for the brass golem’s chest to shatter beyond 4,023 meters is approximately 4.82 seconds.

Bbabam-! Bbabam-!

The fanfare made Leeha a bit embarrassed, but I couldn’t pay attention to the notification window now.

Users who hastily assembled a raid team for the Brass Golem raid could never figure out why the Brass Golem died or why they could not loot it.

This is because the gunshots carried by the wind sounded quieter than the sound of stepping on gravel to them.

* * *

‘You got it right… hehe… you got it right.’

Lee Ha laughed for several reasons.

It wasn’t simply about whether it was hit or not.

In this sniping where ‘where did you hit’ is very important, Leeha was able to test the first limit of the Black Bass.

‘There is enough energy. It reached exactly where I aimed.’

The shot was aimed at the head and did not hit the chest.

In the first place, we aimed to shoot at the area with the largest area to avoid problems such as top bullets, and hit that point accurately.

It is not a matter of calculating the falling distance by shooting above the target point and hitting the target.

Reaching the target accurately at a distance of 4,000m means that the trajectory of the ballistic path did not collapse.

This means that, like long-distance sniping with black gunpowder and steel ball bullets, sniping at distances of 4,000 meters or more is fully possible when shooting while moving the muzzle.

‘It will be difficult any further due to the click adjustment limitations… but it will almost certainly be possible up to 5,000m.’

The only thing that was disappointing was the scope.

Although it is already an over-tech item in the world of Middle Earth, it is true that it falls far short of what Lee Ha is aiming for.

“Ugh, I guess I’ll have to go to the Vatican and check to see if there are any scope-related items. “Right?”

[Kyu?]

“No, it would be nice to have something to pick up from Blaugrun Sea Lair before that. When are you going to take me away?”

[Kkyuk?]

Blaugrun tilted his head, tilted his head. He was just acting cute while looking at Leeha.

Lee Ha let out a laugh and shook his head.

“That’s it. it’s okay. Anyway, if we can communicate, we’ll see you then. “Anyway, what are the achievements?”

〈Achievement: Those who challenge the limits (B+)〉

Congratulations!

We hit a target with a range of over 3,000m! You are no longer a ‘regular person’! Even former Musketeer Brown, who belonged to the Kingdom of Puviel and hit a distance of 2,475m, will applaud you. Now as a human, there is only one record left!

Reward: +15 Dexterity

You are the first to register for the ‘Pusher of the Limits’ achievement.

Up to the third person to register the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and an additional 200% of the existing effect will be applied.

Effect: Dexterity +30

“Ah! Street Achievements! That’s right, after using Black Bass— huh? “Why is Brown here?”

Accuracy by distance was different from when black powder was used.

Was it because I hadn’t been able to snipe for a while, or was it because the last time I sniped at a very long distance was around 2,500m? I completely forgot about the following.

And today, I succeeded in sniping at a distance of 4,000m, and for the first time in a long time, I had a happy alarm ringing. However, the details of the achievement made Lee Ha’s heart sad.

‘Does that mean that Brown’s highest record in [penetration] is that high?’

The penetration distance is 2.5km…

Luger showed considerable skill in navigating the New World. However, we know that it was not enough to hit a distance of 2.5 km.

‘No, even though you’ve grown to this level, you still haven’t been able to chase down the old Three Musketeers? Moreover, a person who challenges the limit~ The name is grandiose, but is it only a B+ grade? Considering the difficulty level, it should be S-level!’

Lee Ha grumbled and turned off one of the notification windows.

The alarm rang twice, and I had a rough idea of what the second alarm’s achievement was. If there was a 2,000m achievement and a 3,000m achievement, the other would have been obvious.

〈Achievement: A Distance No One Can Reach (A-)〉

Congratulations!

We hit the target at a range of over 4,000m! Even in ancient history, no one has ever reached a distance of 4,000 meters! The most outstanding person in the official measurement record for shooting using a musket, he proved his worth by breaking the record of 3,450m held by Elizabeth, a musketeer belonging to the former Kingdom of Puviel! Now all that’s left is a fight with yourself! No, maybe it’s just a fight against beings other than ‘humans’!

Reward: +16 Dexterity

You are the first to receive the ‘Distance No One Can Reach’ achievement.

Up to the third person to register the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and an additional 200% of the existing effect will be applied.

Effect: Agility +32

“It’s still 4,000m… but isn’t it? Elizabeth this time? Wow….”

Hit record at 3,450m. Clearly, the NPC with the name [Hit] had better skills than the NPC with [Piercing]. So what about those who hit the 4,000m distance?

‘You don’t mean that I’m better than that?!’

Just as I was about to feel better again, Leeha read the meaning implied in the description of the achievement.

What are all those long modifiers in front of Elizabeth’s records?

”Shooting using a musket”, but at the same time – ‘an official measurement record’…’

What is the definition of a musket? Can the [Legendary Black Bess] currently used by Leeha be considered a musket? The answer is of course NO. This means that at least the current skill transformed into SASR must be unlocked!

Doesn’t this literally mean that a musket using black powder was fired over a whopping 3,000m?

And that’s not during normal hunting or during times of urgency, but in a place like a shooting competition where you can relax a bit and have an ‘official measurement record’.

“…The sniper’s reputation is not worth mentioning.”

[Kyu?]

“Haaa… I’m crazy, really. Looking at this, there really isn’t much of a difference between Luger and Brown. How on earth do I catch up with Elizabeth?”

Can you hit 3,450m with a musket?

Lee Ha could confidently shout that it was impossible. How much black powder should I put in?

No matter how well you compress it, even if you use all the skills you have to maximize the range, it is doubtful that you will be able to reach 3,000m.

‘I’m not even confident in the 2,475m that Brown has, let alone 3,000. No, but the brown is not a musket but something else. No way… Oh, that’s ridiculous.’

[Kyuu, kyungu.]

Blaugrun patted Leeha on the shoulder.

The joy and excitement of hitting 4,000m, the expectation that the Black Bess’ maximum range would be longer, and the confidence that I could do anything with an improved scope were all shattered in an instant.

“I need to raise my stats and log out. I’m losing strength. Character window!”

Name: Leeha / Race: Human

Occupation: Musketeer / Level: 200 (5%)

Title: Shadow Assassin / Achievements: 128

HP: 6,460 (4,522)

MP: 1,600

Stats: Strength 551 (+466)

Agility 3,383 (+1,234)

Intelligence 190 (+139)

Stamina 228 (+135)

Spirit 65 (+55)

Remaining stat points: 78

or less I realized this as soon as I opened the character window. How treacherous can humans be? The joy of succeeding in the 4,000m was quickly dashed by the achievement, but looking at the stats gathered in the character window, I felt energized again!

“Keu, keuhm.”

[Kyu?]

“No. nothing. I’m not smiling because I’m happy, so don’t look at me for nothing. “I’m embarrassed.”

[Kkyukkyun? [Kyu?]

As the corner of Leeha’s mouth went up, Blaugrun nonchalantly poked Leeha’s cheek. He was embarrassed to have his true intentions revealed to a dragon that was only hatchling-level.

‘Well, there are 20 bonus stats for every 100 levels. In addition, the level 200 achievement stat and the achievement stat for killing Chiyo…’

At level 199 and 200. Although it is only level 1 in numbers, it is Middle Earth that can make such a big difference.

This means that even excluding the achievement of killing Chiyo, there can be a difference of 34 stat points with just one level.

From now on, it was a level where various effect increase rates were applied differently depending on the stats, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Even if the agility value is the same, 3,000 at level 199 and 3,000 at level 200 appear with different effects. Hehe, there’s nothing to see, all 78 are lacking in agility!’

Now the agility of Lee Ha is 3,461.

I roughly knew that nothing would happen unless the number was just right, so I didn’t expect anything less.

I was just curious.

‘Blaugrun grows through feeding. In addition to feeding, a child needs something else that triggers him or her to grow… The only thing that has anything to do with my growth itself is this one.’

[Mmmmmmm?]

“Hey, you know how to talk about yourself like a ghost. Jelapong, when are you going to grow up?”

When does gelapong grow? A single stat point of 3,400 is by no means low. And Drake said that Gellapong grows in proportion to the growth of its users. What exactly is that standard?

“Did you just say it’s growth because I get damage proportional to my stats? Wow, I definitely meant that the appearance will change… Ugh. “As for Elizabeth Gunn, there’s still a long way to go, a long way to go.”

[Kyunkyu!] [Mmmmmmmmm…]

“Ugh, it only makes me tired to think about it in advance. Let’s go, go! Because I still have a lot to receive! “You’ll find out when that time comes.”

There is a long way to go, but there are also many guaranteed rewards that can narrow the path. With a strange feeling of being both good and bad, Leeha logged out.
