The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 100
35. Reaction (2)
Whiiiing──
A sand plain ravaged by fierce sandstorms.
A parched wind so dry that finding a single drop of water seemed impossible. A wasteland that made one question whether any living creature could survive here.
Yet even this place once harbored civilization.
The strange stone towers scattered throughout bore witness to that past.
Had this place not fallen to ruin, it would have been spectacular enough for tourists to line up and admire.
However, all maps used in Battle Large existed in the aftermath of destruction.
This place served only for players’ survival.
The ruins could crumble at any moment without surprise, their cultural value long lost.
To players, they were nothing more than cover—nothing less, nothing more.
Click.
Almond also pressed his back against one of those stone towers, concealing himself.
Making not a sound, silent as death.
Almond kept his back turned, remaining still.
He closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating his senses.
A moment later.
A faint footstep reached his ears.
He spun around the ruins. Simultaneously, he drew his bowstring toward the front.
Yet in the direction he aimed, there was only murky sand dust.
-??? What are you shooting at?
-Can you even see anything?
-It’s hard to see with the sandstorm timing right now….
-Besides, isn’t the wind making it difficult to shoot?
Nothing visible, and the wind fierce.
Almond offered no response to this.
Only a brief deep breath followed.
Every muscle in his body rigid and tense.
Only his eyes remained alive, moving urgently as they searched for something.
To find the source of the sound he had heard.
‘There.’
Between the rough sandstorm, I caught a blurred silhouette moving.
So faint it was indistinguishable from the cacti swaying in the wind.
Yet each time that silhouette moved, the sound of sand being trampled reached my ears.
I was certain this was the source of the sound I had heard earlier.
Almond held his breath and stopped moving.
His body froze as if caught in a time-stopping spell. His right hand was the exception to that magic. Only his right hand moved in hushed silence, smoothly releasing the bowstring.
Twang.
The arrow pierced through the sandstorm and flew.
The blurred figure collapsed.
Thud!
[Almond → IceCreammon]
[Eliminated!]
[79/100]
The kill log appeared before me.
The one hiding behind the sandstorm was dead.
-How the hell did you kill someone you can’t even see?
I was wondering what the hell they were shooting at, but damn it turned out to be a person lol
-Stop doubting! This is Almond!
-There’s no way anyone still doesn’t trust Almond and gets caught out!?
No, how many meters are you supposed to hit anyway lol
and lol
I’d landed a headshot on an enemy I could barely see.
And I’d done it through the rough wind.
It was archery bordering on the miraculous.
[Curious donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[Almond! Does Baera’s arrow not get affected by wind?]
One viewer wondered if perhaps the arrow wasn’t affected by wind at all.
The curiosity arose because the shot landed so naturally, no different from my usual shooting, that it seemed effortless.
“I aimed slightly to the left. The arrow does get affected by wind.”
“You fool, what do you think almonds are? lol”
-What’s a little wind!? Almond’s an archer!
-Kuu.
-Almond’s accuracy is insane when he’s not doing moving shots.
[Cynic donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[Slightly to the left? Could it be a centrist lean…?]
Ting!
The voice message cut off with a sound.
Juhyeok had instantly grabbed the manager’s attention.
Hahahahahaha
lol paid ban incoming
The sound cuts off in the middle with a “-done” sound. The manager’s physical condition is also off lol.
-Info) The manager is over 180cm tall and has broad shoulders, so his physicality is apparently legit.
-Respect.
Praise for the manager flooded the chat.
Around the time I wore a satisfied smile.
Creak──
I drew the bowstring again.
I’d spotted someone else.
I fired an arrow at the exact same angle as before, in the exact same stance.
Thunk!
A figure collapsed in the sandstorm, struck once again.
But this time, no kill log appeared.
“Damn! What!?”
My opponent cursed and looked around frantically before bolting in some direction.
However, another arrow I’d already fired pierced through the back of his head.
I’d followed up immediately the moment I realized he was wearing a ballistic helmet.
[Almond → Prolbacteria]
[Eliminated!]
[77/100]
He finally fell, leaving only his name in the kill log.
I concealed myself behind the ruins once more.
The sandstorm perfectly obscured my presence.
-Wow! Sand assassin!
-Wow! Sands! Assassin!
Lol the enemies are so pathetic ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Damn… So cool
Thanks to another flawless shot, praise flooded in. I smiled as I glanced at the chat.
Bang, bang!
Gunfire echoed from far away.
It had nothing to do with me. Yet I deliberately moved toward the sound of gunshots.
This round’s concept was fan service. I planned to play purely for maximizing kill count.
-Forbes selection) The only man in Battle Large who moves toward gunfire
-Lol Yeopo-mond is back
Even shy Yeopo-jwa is really perfect lol
That person’s gonna come back after getting cleaned out of all their money lol
Providing spectacular entertainment to viewers—that was true fan service, wasn’t it?
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat…!
The distant gunfire grew quite close.
Since they were still fighting, it seemed quite a few players were locked in a standoff here as expected.
[Blue Zone will shrink in 30 seconds!]
Soon I’d need to move with the Blue Zone.
Checking the map, the ruins would now fall outside the Blue Zone.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
The gunfire intensified. Everyone was getting desperate.
If I wasted time here at the ruins, I’d be poisoned by the toxic gas and die.
Blurred figures rushed toward me in a mass.
‘Are they coming this way?’
I checked the map again.
Almond was positioned directly at their escape route.
Here, he faced a choice.
1. Since he happened to have a better position than the others, move to the next Blue Zone first and most safely.
2. Or block the passage and shoot down everyone who comes through.
The choice was obviously number two.
Of course, this tactic could easily turn into a mutual death trap. It was extremely dangerous.
But as mentioned, Almond had already committed himself to a massacre play. He took his position and drew his bowstring.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew through the air in an instant, piercing the enemy’s head.
A kill log appeared as the enemy fell.
Apparently, he wasn’t wearing a ballistic helmet.
“What!?”
Someone’s cry rang out.
Beyond the sandstorm, I could see his head turning this way and that.
An arrow lodged itself directly into that turning head.
The shadow within the sandstorm crumbled like water.
Instead, a kill log appeared in Almond’s vision.
He was dead.
Then another player came rushing out.
Thwack!
He too became skewered by Almond’s arrow and fell.
By this point, the players rushing over had noticed Almond’s presence.
‘There’s a blockade.’
‘Who’s blocking it?’
‘Damn it. What the hell is this?’
They ran while aiming their guns forward.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
Bullets struck the ruins, scattering everywhere.
Almond wasn’t hit.
“There!”
“Don’t block the entrance! Bastard!”
As Almond moved, the guns’ aim became increasingly accurate.
More gun barrels pointed toward the ruins where Almond had taken cover.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
The ruins in front of Almond trembled violently.
‘So it comes to this after all.’
This was why blocking the entrance was dangerous.
Those trying to escape naturally formed teams and shot at whoever blocked the entrance.
It was a choice to deliberately become everyone’s enemy.
-Why are there so many coming?
-Looks like there are almost seven of them???
-Oh damn.
7 guys are nothing, damn it. Didn’t they not even fight when it was 20 to 1 earlier? lol
-20 against 1 was melee, but this is guns
When seven enemies opened fire with guns, the ruins couldn’t hold out.
Boom──
With a heavy explosion, the ruins collapsed.
Shattered stone debris scattered in all directions.
Tap!
Almond quickly rolled his body toward the next ruins.
Simultaneously, rapid gunfire erupted in succession.
Whoosh! Bang!
Two arrows fired like lightning curved sharply around the ruins and flew past.
Thud!
Thud!
The two arrows each brought down two enemies.
[Almond → Dorat-dorat-man]
[Eliminated!]
[65/100]
[Almond → Wuri787]
[Double Kill!]
[64/100]
‘Next.’
Four arrows were nocked in Almond’s fingers.
And then came the quadruple shot.
Whoosh!
Four arrows crossed through the air so rapidly they seemed to fly as one, each embedding itself in the enemies’ heads.
Six out of seven were dead in an instant.
“I… I’m losing my mind….”
The last one stood with a vacant expression, mechanically pulling the trigger of his gun that had run out of ammunition.
He seemed to be in shock.
It was understandable—arrows that moved like living things, curving through the air, had just killed everyone running beside him.
Confusion consumed him.
Thud!
Soon an arrow pierced his head as well, and the confusion ended.
[Almond → Terror Seed]
[Multi Kill!]
[63/100]
Whoooosh──
Only the desolate sandstorm blew across the desert.
All traces of people had been erased.
Not a single player had passed behind Almond.
-He wiped them out lol
-Wow so cool
-Is this a western bowman or something?
-Like a western movie
-Mom! Almond! Mom! Almond! Mom! Almond!
The chat’s reaction was quite positive.
He had executed a risky play perfectly.
Pabam~!
Along with the trumpet sound, large donations came flooding in.
[Gaji-bokkeun has donated 100,000 won!]
[Wow! Congratulations on your Diamond promotion in advance!]
[Wuengbueng has donated 100,000 won!]
[First time watching and you’re insane. Diamond promotion incoming!]
[Chaamssae has donated 10,000 won!]
[Who! Who created this monster called Almond!]
Great risk brings great returns.
This is the return Almond receives.
The audience’s cheers and donations!
Almond felt an exhilarating thrill.
‘This is it.’
This is why I stream.
-Wow donations are pouring in today lol
-Of course donations explode during Diamond promotion matches
-Kyaa
-If we clear the Diamond promotion mission too, how much will this be!?
-For real lol
“Thank you Gaji-bokkeun, Wuengbueng, and Chaamssae!”
After expressing his gratitude.
Almond dashed toward the next Blue Zone.
Almond’s performance remained spectacular afterward.
Every enemy he encountered fell to clean headshots.
He even eliminated nearly three or four enemies from inside a moving vehicle.
From the enemies’ perspective, they were brutally killed by arrows suddenly piercing through their car windows while driving.
“Insane, what!?”
“Ugh!”
“Gack!”
Most players couldn’t even respond to Almond’s curved shot ambush and died.
Even those with bulletproof helmets panicked at the successive arrows and died while standing dazed.
It wasn’t because they were foolish Iron-rank players.
Each of them was a player approaching Diamond rank—capable of slaughtering Bronze players with ease.
Yet even so, they couldn’t handle Almond’s fully unleashed skill.
[33 Kills]
Almond had racked up a staggering 33 kills.
Who would believe these were the stats of a Diamond promotion match?
[10/100]
At the 33rd kill, only 10 players remained on the Battle Large Field.
The Blue Zone had contracted so severely that all 10 players were acutely aware of each other’s presence and positioning.
Despite the tension of the moment, Almond’s chat was in festival mode.
-Clap clap clap clap clap clap
-Wow
-Shout! Diamond! Shout! Diamond! Shout! Diamond! Shout! Diamond!
-Clap clap clap clap clap Diamond!
-33 kills, are you serious lol
-Almond Q got 33 kills!
-Wow he actually did it
-Jeon-ja-pa is done for lol
-Wow
-Diamond? What’s that? I know Almond! Diamond? What’s that? I know Almond! Diamond? What’s that? I know Almond!
-Almond! I’d give you my daughter! Almond! I’d give you my daughter! Almond! I’d give you my daughter!
At this point with 10 players remaining.
Almond’s Diamond promotion was already virtually assured.
The consensus was that one first-place finish followed by one top-ten placement secured promotion.
Since he’d already secured first last game, finishing in the top ten this round would be more than sufficient.
That’s when Almond spoke up.
“Alright. Now I’m going to react to the 700,000 won I received earlier and all the donations from today in one go!”
*Click.*
He aimed his bow forward.
-???
-Out of nowhere?
-No way lol
-What kind of reaction?
“What else would my reaction be?”
-Wait, a reckless reaction during promotion?!
-You crazy bastard stop it lol
-But why aren’t you shooting upward?
