The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 174
56. Avenger vs Guardian (2)
In truth, Huchoo harbored a singular dilemma.
She never revealed it to those Knight Order bastards, but the reality gnawed at her.
She was fighting under an enormous handicap.
[*The Avenger’s skills inflict no damage upon Cheese Village residents.]
This option, written as though it were some grand merit, was the culprit.
‘What the hell… Why is it like this?!’
Of course, the Avenger’s basic attacks—sword swings, kicks—still dealt damage.
Only the specialized skills granted by the Avenger class failed to inflict harm.
She’d questioned the developers about why such an option existed.
“Ah… well… the Avenger is actually a vengeful spirit born when Paprika Village conquered Cheese Village and committed endless slaughter, so… something like that…”
Though they danced around the explanation, the meaning was clear: a shipping error to the wrong address.
“So this is actually a Cheese Village class?”
“Yes.”
…
In other words, they never anticipated Paprika Village would suffer such a crushing defeat.
Hahahahahaha
That’s humiliating lol
No lol
“They made him a Japanese colonial police officer, but why did he become an independence activist? lol”
This is all because of the non-competitive staff.
-Tears obscure my vision
-This too must be the Great One’s grace…
Huchoo’s chat mocked her relentlessly.
The community forums overflowed with those ridiculing her plight.
Paprika endured nothing but humiliation.
Kagakang!
Huchoo swung her knuckles at Almond with renewed determination.
‘I cannot falter here.’
At least by the Avenger’s judgment, her skills would land against the one who killed her.
Even if Almond were a Cheese Village resident, because he was her target of vengeance, this passive would activate.
[Singular Vengeance]
[The target of vengeance receives no immunity from the Avenger.]
Against her target alone, the Avenger became an overwhelmingly overpowered class.
Even if Almond gained fire immunity, flames from the Avenger would still burn him. Even if he gained cold immunity, the Avenger’s freezing would still bind him.
In other words, regardless of Almond being a Cheese Village resident, he could not escape damage from Huchoo.
And it was far more than mere damage.
[Mark of Vengeance]
[When you damage the target of vengeance with a skill, a mark appears. Detonating it inflicts 2.5 times the damage.]
Detonating the mark inflicts a staggering 2.5 times damage multiplier.
Armor or not, a few hits would be enough to kill.
But─
‘It won’t connect!’
Clang!
I blocked the knuckles with my bowstring.
No matter how wildly she swung with both hands, I managed to deflect each strike with my bowstrings on either side.
Clang clang!
Clang!
As if I’d fought this way countless times before.
Because I truly had.
This was a method I’d used countless times.
‘Block… shoot, block…’
I simply matched my breathing to the rhythm, slowly drawing and releasing the bowstring in a measured tempo.
A technique I’d employed against far sharper and faster opponents in international tournaments.
Compared to then, this was a comfortable situation.
But from Huchoo’s perspective, this was perfect mockery.
‘H-How is she blocking with the bowstring while shooting arrows!? And completely ignoring me!?’
Thud!
The arrows were only embedding themselves in the back of the unfortunate Rocket Squad member behind Huchoo.
“Ugh! Huchoo! What are you doing! You’re supposed to be the Avenger!!”
Orange screamed with an arrow lodged in her neck.
Hahahahahaha
Wait… Orange…
I’m so frustrated I could explode lol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
Huchoo’s face turned red.
“N-No, Almond! Just let me die once, please!”
Will you die for me? lol
-Please die! Cheese Village!
I’m dying laughing
If you keep asking, I feel like I’d actually die for you once lol, you’re so persistent lol
Hahaha
-Just hearing her voice makes you want to beg for mercy
“Hyaaaaa─”
Huchoo threw another ambitious punch.
──Whoosh!
I simply tilted my head back and dodged it.
“!?”
“Oh.”
I discovered something remarkable and marveled at it.
“This head moves incredibly fast, doesn’t it?”
Because the head was so large, its movement speed within the active radius had been set exceptionally fast to eliminate any sense of awkwardness in its motions.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Since I was mostly targeting the head, it was easy to evade.
“A new discovery.”
-Wow
-What’s with that improper fraction weaving?
-Haha
-???: When I was at the player’s village…
Lol seriously, improper fractions weaving is hilarious haha
I can’t translate this as it’s not a coherent Korean phrase – it appears to be random consonants without vowels that don’t form meaningful words.
-As expected from Almond!
“Damn… Damn it!!”
Huchoo’s eyes flipped back.
When I blocked with the bow, yes, I thought it was possible since I’m a bow specialist.
But dodging by just tilting her head really scratched her pride.
“Aaaaaahhhhh!!”
She unleashed knuckle punches with all her might.
‘Oh.’
Whirrrrrrrr!
The more she lost her composure, the easier it became for me to read Huchoo’s attack patterns.
“Left, right, left, right…”
“I can hear it! Almond! I can hear it!”
“Ah… even the production staff can’t manage switching the microphone and channel like that.”
Whirrrrrrrr!
I swung my head wildly while saying everything I had to say.
Hahahahahaha
Hahaha
Even almonds can’t pull off that concept lol
Yeah, you got me there lol
How am I supposed to handle even the Mike channel lol
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
In truth, masters of fighting games specialize in sharp psychological warfare.
But Huchoo had already lost her composure from my countless provocations.
Her advantage had disappeared.
“G-Great one! I shall take on the Avenger!”
Whoosh!
Just then, Danbong barely pushed through the crowd and rushed toward me.
“W-What!?”
Huchoo panicked.
The Avenger’s skill had no effect on Cheese Village residents.
If Danbong joined in, things would become far more troublesome.
But it was already too late.
Clang!
Danbong’s blade deflected the knuckles.
“How dare you lay hands on the lord! Take this!!”
-Haha lol
-As expected, Danbong
Post-Daegam single peak ㄷㄷ
Hahahahaha I’m going crazy hahaha
-Danbong and Seok completely turned dark lol
“W-Wait, Danmuji!”
“It’s Danbong.”
“That kind child… has turned so dark. What in the world is happening in Cheese Village!?”
“From anyone’s perspective right now, it’s you who’s turned dark, sister. You’re radiating a black aura.”
“…T-This is just a skill, that’s all!!”
Huchoo tried to ignore Danmuji and pass through.
“Hah!”
Clang!
Danbong blocked her path once more.
-Haha
-Great Danbong
-This is over then?
Almond broke free without a mark.
“My lord! Now’s the moment!!”
Screeeech…!
[Vermillion Bird’s Runway]
I cast the skill toward where the Rocket Squad had gathered most densely.
Whoooosh!
Flaming arrows took the form of a vermillion bird, and as I released the bowstring, its wings unfurled.
With a clear cry, every field in a straight line ignited in flames.
Kaboooom!!
“?”
But nobody died.
What’s this?
“Oh, no, my lord! They’re immune to fire!”
“…Really?”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
-We had no idea
-What? That’s what it was??
-Where did that come from lol
-How could he even be on a magma field in the first place lol
I had no prior knowledge of Adamantium’s power since I was dragged away by Huchoo before witnessing it.
[Avenger’s Obsession]
Whoosh!
Huchoo suddenly appears from behind me.
“Fool! You’re giving me an opening!?”
Kyahahaha!
Huchoo laughs while swinging her knuckles.
I instantly switch my weapon to a sword.
‘Perfect.’
[White Tiger Stance]
I vanish like the wind.
Then I charge in a perfectly straight line along the exact path where the Vermillion Bird’s flames had touched.
Kwakwang!
At the final destination, I unleash a powerful gust of wind, slashing in all directions.
“Cough!”
“Ugh!”
The Rocket Squad members collapse.
“D-Dammit…!? What is this, were you waiting for this!? You possess that level of strategy!?”
That was it.
I had waited for Huchoo to use her Avenger’s Obsession skill before escaping.
I used my escape skill, which doubles as an attack, to disappear after burning through the enemy’s sticky skill cooldown.
Until Huchoo uses Avenger’s Obsession again, I’m unmarked.
“That’s impossible, it’s just luck!”
“You mustn’t underestimate the lord’s wisdom, Sister. He’s quite the strategist, you know.”
“…W-What. How brainwashed have you become!? Danmuji!”
-lololololol
-That’s impossible
-Fact) Almond just uses his skills in order
-lolol strategy my ass lol
Meanwhile, whether by luck or strategy, I arrive in the center of the enemy formation, creating a whirlwind.
Surprisingly, only the Rocket Squad surrounded me.
The Knight Order had suffered heavy casualties due to the spec difference.
“Crawling in on all fours! Non-selected Personnel!!”
“Die, you non-selected scum!!”
A single White Tiger Stance couldn’t dispatch the Rocket Squad in one blow.
They were wearing full Adamantium sets, after all.
Yet Almond possessed one final skill from the Four Celestial Beasts.
[Wisdom of the Black Tortoise]
The Black Tortoise itself.
Its solid, steadfast form surged forth as I stomped my foot against the earth.
[By striking the ground with force, defense increases sharply while stunning all nearby enemies for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]
Kuuuung──
The earth cracked with a sharp sound.
“Gack!?”
“Huh?”
“Euk!”
Every member of the Rocket Squad charging forward came to a halt.
Thud.
[Stunned]
They had all been knocked unconscious at once.
“Now’s our chance!”
At that, every surviving Knight Order member rushed forward.
Whoosh!
I switched my weapon to a spear.
I deemed this to be the end.
So I unleashed it.
“Chiki-cha!”
The form of the Azure Dragon surged forth.
[Roar of the Azure Dragon]
[Strikes the spear tip with continuous powerful lightning for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds. *Lightning-type deals increased damage against high-grade armor.]
Whoosh!
As the spear swung, azure lightning cascaded continuously along its tip.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwaka!!!
[Orange has been slain.]
[Parsley has been slain.]
[Olive has been slain.]
[Melon has been slain.]
.
.
.
Countless Rocket Squad members were fried by the electricity and perished.
Essentially total annihilation.
-Pikachu million volt lmaooo
Hahaha Team Rocket’s ending is so funny hahaha
Lol why are you mining ore, just farm with a million volts lol
-Lmaooooo
-That’s literally a million volts lol
-Lmao
-Got the adamantium~
Is it really over??? For real???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Haha, oh my god!

* * *
Meanwhile, the Production Team watching this unfold.
Department Manager Jang and Park O-hun.
They muttered simultaneously.
“We’re done for.”
“What do we do about this?”
They never expected Paprika Village to be crushed so completely.
And on top of that, surrendering all the adamantium as well.
Now the scales had tipped far too heavily to one side.
