Matan’s Shooter

Chapter 105

Muooh—!!!

[Tyuren roared.]

[Slow status has been applied.]

[Movement speed has been reduced by 30% for 4 minutes.]

[Stamina has been reduced to 50%]

[Defense decreased by 10%.]

‘Crazy.’

He was in a hurry but his steps were slow. The pursuit of the monsters, which were agitated by the roar of Tyuren, was quite fierce.

Leeha could hear the screams of users from behind, but he didn’t have time to look back.

‘Those people must have lost a lot of items too. Ugh, I can’t risk my life trying to loot those.’

Their minimum level was 60. There were probably users who were at level 70.

As many as 50 users died, but they couldn’t get close to the items.

It was only after running for a long time could Leeha feel at ease.

Stone Golems that had escaped from the Brass Golem’s influence and some users could be seen in the surrounding.

“Phew…”

‘This is outside its scope.’ 

Leeha couldn’t see the Brass Golem anymore.

‘Still, I got information…’

It was valuable information using the sacrifice of fifty people. For now, I need to get stronger, like the time before I hunted Hijuit-Ka! If Leeha approached the Brass Golem without any information, he would have hit a dead end.

The fact that lightning magic didn’t work or it could summon the nearby golems was secondary information for Leeha. The most important thing was the golden hour.

‘The first five minutes. He needed to see its core.’

A scenario was drawn in Leeha’s mind.

If he combined the idea he thought of in order to deal with the Stone Golems and the pattern of the Brass Golem.

“Huh, it’s a complete gamble.”

However, Leeha’s desire to win stimulated him.

‘There are at least two other people who could handle a musket well.’

He didn’t know if they have cleared this quest, but Leeha could guess that they did.

When Leeha passed the test to shoot a target 100m away,

two other people have already passed it.

‘They cleared this. No, even if they didn’t clear this quest, they should have cleared a quest to hunt a monster that is similar difficulty to the Brass Golem.’

Then it shouldn’t be impossible. It is close to a life-threatening adventure, but it should be possible to clear it.

That fact aroused Leeha’s morale.

“Good. Let’s get ready.”

Leeha was at the foot of Tenero

and ran to the small village located in front of it.

There were countless items to be prepared and an amount of work to be tested.

“Looking for golem party~ I’m a level 60 two-handed blunt warrior~ I’m using a level 40 maul~ so take me with you. Party invitation notice~”

Pongtang screamed incessantly, but no one looked at the warrior.

“Ah, I won’t force you.”

It was a town overflowing with warriors.

If it was a priest, he would be accepted even if he held a sword, but for a level 60 warrior with a level 40 weapon.

“Ais, it’s because of that damned Grey-Trap.”

He looked at the hammer he was holding and took a deep breath.

On the first day he arrived, he was happy and went for a walk to take a look.

He just knew that he needed to be careful of Grey-Traps but he didn’t know that it would be invisible.

Because he wielded his weapon in a hurry when he got caught, he dropped his level 55 rapier.

“Noone even helped me, they just watched me get hit and die. Damned bastards.” 

A man passed by the grumbling warrior.

The man wore a fur coat that looked old but had a luxurious color. He had a bone necklace and a hunting cap. And a stick-type weapon that the warrior had never seen before.

Although the man was low-leveled, his confident step and expression made the warrior uncomfortable.

“A bastard like that could also hunt here, but they won’t even let me join in a party? Can’t they see that I look stronger? It’s not like he’s able to kill something with that He doesn’t even seem to have a party?”

The man came from the village’s marketplace. There was no one around him, so he was definitely alone.

And he was going toward the Rock Mountain. When he saw the man walking alone,

he felt suffocated and remembered the past.

‘No, he’s not in a party?! And he just came to town! Haha, wouldn’t it be great if he was caught by a Grey-Trap?’

The warrior couldn’t find a party anyway, so he followed the man.

He slowly walked and followed.

The man ran surprisingly fast and did not get tired, so the warrior had a hard time keeping up with him.

‘He’s not even a ranged damage dealer so why is he so fast? Does he have good shoes?’ The wooden stick on his back looked like a two-handed blunt weapon…….

I have never seen it before. If one took the head of a Warhammer, it would look like that.

He thought of following the man and taking a peek and imagined how refreshing it would be to see him die, and if the man dropped an item, that would be a bonus.

What if the bastard had a party?

‘Instead of the man who died on the way, I can ask if I could join them. Hehe.’

Dreaming of hitting three birds with one stone, Pongtang eagerly pursued the man.

On the Rock Mountain where the sun floated in the middle of the sky, gravel fields that were rarely shaded, spread out.

Kururuk, kururuk-.

‘It’s out! It’s out!’

A Stone Golem spawned in the direction the man was walking.

Even for a two-handed blunt warrior like himself, it looked threatening to Pongtang. He looks like a lousy bastard, will he die in one shot?

Pongtang hid

behind a rock nearby.

Did the man not see the Stone Golem? He hadn’t even looked at the approaching Stone Golem.

The man took out the weapon he wore.

Pongtang expected something to happen, but the man just relaxedly touched something.

‘Hehe, it’s too late to look now! Die!’

And for a brief moment, a light flashed.

Baang!

“W-whoa?!”

There’s an explosion!

“What! What!”

As the roar continued, Pongtang shook his head in surprise.

When the explosion, that made Pongtang’s ears ring, barely subsided, he lifted his head and there was no longer a trace of the Stone Golem.

Only remnant rocks were scattered here and there.

“Whoah! What? Is he a wizard?”

Pongtang rolled his eyes in embarrassment. Pongtang had never seen it before, magic without casting or chanting.

“What happened to the Stone Golem?”

As he ran, Leeha found a Stone Golem that recently spawned. And in a single moment, he made two consecutive moves.

After two explosions, the Stone Golem disappeared without a trace.

[You leveled up.]

“Good, good.”

White light enveloped Leeha’s body.

10 days have passed since he first discovered the Brass Golem.

‘It never showed up after that. I thought it would respawn after five days or even after a week……

The appearance of the field boss was irregular, but he still had some faith.

‘The quest limit is 15 days. It should come out before the limit.’

It was really fortunate that he met the Brass Golem on the first day.

Because of that, Leeha had the time to test his ideas and prepare in various ways.

Also, thanks to his efforts not to waste time, his situation had changed a lot compared to 10 days ago.

“Character window.”

Name: Ha Leeha / Race: Human

Job: Musketeer / Level: 57 (0%)

Title: Fearless / Achievement:

22

HP: 2,490 / MP： 505

Stats: 

Strength: 55(+40)

Agility: 473(+144)

Intellligence: 58(+43)

Constitution: 101(+33) 

Mind: 27(+17)

Remaining stat points: 5

‘I didn’t get any achievement or title but……

It was a simple to hunt golem but

it was not enough to hunt hundreds or thousands.

Above all, his ideas consumed a lot of resources.

Still, it was not surprising that Leeha leveled up from 48 to 57 in just 10 days, as five warriors at level 60 to 70 were needed to hunt one golem.

‘If he had poured out a little more money, he would have been able to get to level 60. But he couldn’t overdo it right now.’

Leeha put his remaining stats to constitution. The points he obtained from leveling up were evenly distributed between agility and constitution.

‘Now HP 2,590. It’s still dangerous.’

It was 10 days ago, but Leeha still remembered it vividly. He watched the video several times to understand the hunting pattern of the Brass Golem.

If he got hit with the Spike attack, he would die in one hit. Definitely.

If he barely escaped and get hit with the splash attack, will he survive?

“Phew……

Leeha closed the character window and looked at his musket. The hot barrel still hadn’t cooled down.

‘As expected…’

Leeha’s face darkened.

It has only been used for a short period of time compared to the low-grade crude musket. It was quite heartbreaking for Leeha to use his rifle like this.

‘Money is money, but it is really sad that my musket is like this. Phew-!’

But it couldn’t be helped. This was the only method of breakthrough that Leeha found.

Leeha climbed the Rock Mountain again after checking his musket.

His goal is the Tenero peak. At a nearby resting point in the copper mine.

“But why can’t they see it?”

Leeha was looking at the users while muttering as he ate the sandwich made in the village.

There was a shouting warrior caught by a Grey-Trap and his party member who are next to him.

No matter how much camouflaged it was, the Grey-Trap had a different color, and it was obvious where they are hiding. Leeha had seen users suffer from Grey-Trap many times, but he couldn’t get used to it.

“I can’t understand. Is that how warriors are?”

Not only the warriors but also the wizards were unable to move properly because of the Grey-Trap’s sticky mucus.

‘I mean, I could see it clearly.’

The outline was clearly defined in his sight, but the human next to it could not see the Grey-Trap.

‘Tsk tsk. It’s because they let their guard down.’

Leeha smiled and lowered his musket again and ate his sandwich.

His cooking level is now level 9. Soon it was time for its grade to go up.

‘Come to think of it, musket mastery is at intermediate level 5, and calm mind is now intermediate level 2.’

The fact that there were two skills that are beyond beginner rank made him feel like an expert, but it was still a long way from being an expert.

Above all, he didn’t know that the increase in ‘accuracy’ provided by Musket Mastery and Calm Mind had an additional effect of improving eyesight….

Kururuk, kururuk-.

“Did it spawn again? It would be difficult if my musket breaks.”

Leeha dealt with the Stone Golems that appeared from time to time easily. Another day went by as Leeha accumulated experience points.

The pale purple sunset disappeared, and now, it was difficult to even get a proper view without sunlight.

Thump… Thump.

The sound of footsteps from afar reached Leeha’s ears.

It was not the light and short sound of a Stone Golem. The trembling that made the rocks in the Rock Mountain rise.

A black silhouette glimmering at the entrance of the mine. As if the moonlight could not illuminate its bluish and dark appearance.

“It has come……!”

Leeha quickly looked around.

There were no users.

There were two teams far from the mine. How many more teams are there near the bottom of the mountain where there was sunlight. At least there were not enough people in the nearby vicinity to form a raid.

Muooh—!!!

The air vibrated.

The effect one could see before the system window opened. It felt like this when the blood in the body had cooled down.

[Tyuren roared.]

[Slow status has been applied.]

[Movements speed has been reduced by 30% for 4 minutes.]

[Stamina is reduced to 50%.]

[Defense decreased by 10%.]

“Phew, it’s on. It’s been 10 days.”

The field boss of the Rock Mountain finally appeared.

“Uwaaak!! The field boss, Brass Golem!”

“R-run! Go to the village and call people!”

“Wow, it’s so big! Can’t we catch that?”

“Haven’t you seen the video where 50 people got annihilated? If you provoke it, you will die! Unconditionally!”

The shouts of users were heard by Leeha.

He expected them to take care of the nearby Stone Golems but it was wishful thinking.
