The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 230
73. Your Hero (2)
Another dragon had appeared.
Though compared to the Mang-sa-yong-ryong’s size, this dragon looked like a tiny sparrow.
It was a terrifying creature with a track record of wiping out the entire population of Paprika Village in the past.
“Gaji-bokkeun….”
I muttered the name.
This dragon had actually followed me to kill me.
Back then, with Gaji-bokkeun’s support, only I survived while all the Paprika Villagers around me were slaughtered.
What mattered here was that from the start, this dragon had been trying to kill me.
-Shudder
-Gaji-bokkeun dragon appears
-Shouldn’t it be called Rubisword lol
-What is this lol
-Wow it came to kill again??
-So persistent lol
-Rubisword:???
So it had returned to kill me once more.
The dragon flew in instantly and landed in front of me.
Thud.
“!”
Only then did the Knights beside me react in shock.
They recognized who the dragon was.
“A… dragon? Isn’t that the one?”
“The Paprika Massacre Dragon?”
-Paprika massacre dragon lol
-Massacre dragon lol
-Lololol
-Wait, that one?
They too had watched the Nolchimarr edited version, so they knew the identity of this dragon.
They just hadn’t recognized it immediately while it was flying through the sky.
“S… so it came to kill me now!?”
Shing!
With those words, Danbong drew his sword and positioned himself in front of me.
“Damn it!”
“Protect the Daegam!”
Whoosh!
The Knights drew their weapons and faced off against the dragon.
Meanwhile, I gazed at the dragon with curiosity.
‘What is this.’
I had already faced this dragon before and knew what it was capable of.
This creature showed no mercy.
It was the one that unleashed its breath the moment it appeared.
It probably tried to incinerate us the instant it sensed our presence.
Yet it simply descended ahead and remained on guard.
That was when it happened.
Pop.
From one of the countless tunnels burrowed beneath Cheese Village, a head suddenly popped out.
“W-What!? The Daegam… the Daegam has come! He came to save us!”
He had emerged briefly to check on Cheese Village’s situation when he spotted the Daegam and the Knight Order.
After that, heads began popping out of the ground one by one, like a whack-a-mole game.
“It really is the Daegam!”
“Almond the Daegam and four Knights! That legend was real!!”
The Daegam, four Knights, and the colossal Mang-sa-yong-ryong hovering high in the sky.
In their eyes, the Escort Knights were already heroes.
And that wasn’t all.
“Wait, what about that dragon!?”
“T-This can’t be… the heavens have sent a dragon to the Daegam…”
As is often the case with things glimpsed in a fleeting moment during crisis,
they interpreted what they saw according to their hopes.
A colossal dragon descending from the sky to sit before the Daegam seemed as though the heavens themselves had granted him a revelation.
‘I know. It doesn’t make sense, really…’
‘That dragon was the one trying to kill the Daegam… could it be trying to bite him?’
Deep down, I knew the truth.
That dragon might not have descended to submit to the Daegam.
But such doubts were useless to Cheese Village now.
When you’re drowning, you grasp at any hope, no matter how absurd.
Boom-boom-boom-crash!
Even now, the Mang-sa-yong-ryong’s breath was destroying Cheese Village in all directions.
Literally, you had to grab at straws.
Crack.
Someone pulled themselves up from underground, grasping at withered grass.
“Huff… gasp…”
Not just poking her head out, but fully emerging and standing completely on the surface.
[Triana]
She was Triana the Saint.
She had awakened from sleep and hurriedly followed the Knight Order.
‘Damn it. I’m late.’
I should have logged in much earlier.
I had overslept.
Because of this, she had to move quite a distance, and she was breathing heavily.
Still, she recited her prepared lines.
“Five members of the Oath-bound, hear me!”
Whoooosh!
With the casting of holy magic.
“All beings in this world… will aid you!”
She revealed the meaning of the final stand.
“As you can see, the Mang-sa-yong-ryong seeks to destroy not only you but everything in this world. All beings in this world not yet infected by its dark curse… will aid you.”
Thud.
With these words, the dragon that had descended before Almond approached one step at a time.
Thud. Thud.
The dragon sat before Almond, folded its wings, and bowed its head.
“!”
The eyes of all the residents peeking out from the tunnel widened in shock.
“I… is it really….”
“The heavens sent a dragon to our Daegam!”
“Daegam is the emperor chosen by heaven!”
Their distortion happened in real time.
The excited residents began flooding the server chat.
[Shu Cream: When Almond Daegam decided to fight the calamity, a dragon descended from the heavens…]
[Strawberry Shooter: Almond Daegam, the emperor chosen by heaven!]
[Lettuce: We can survive this!]
In any case, hope was burning bright.
At this, Triana raised her staff upward and declared.
“One final time, with all my remaining strength… I will speak.”
She had given the production team strict instructions.
“Holy magic… ‘Last Stand’ begins.”
Whoooooosh!
A violet transparent dome began enveloping the village.
lol
-Last Stand?
-Not Resolve?
Something big is coming ㄷㄷㄷ
Ding.
A window appeared for everyone.
[Support System Restored]

==== ====
-Wow wow wow wow
-Gasp
-Wait, you can do it on Tribby now?
-Was this discussed with Tribby beforehand?
-If someone shut down the Cheese platform and they hastily linked it lol upvote
-Huh?
-Oh the donation effect changed!

* * *
At that moment, in the Cheese conference room.
CEO Dahee Chae watched the current live situation.
She exhaled a sigh and nodded.
“Phew… Yes… We’ve already earned far more than we anticipated…”
That was true.
From now on, all donations would go directly to the Streamers without any commission.
Therefore, there was no need for donations through Cheese, and using the ‘third-party’ system from Tribby was perfectly fine.
Naturally, it was a plan the higher-ups would have disliked.
“Tribby was a place of great significance to our viewers… I think everyone will appreciate this. The Streamers too.”
Cheese decided to honor Tribby’s final moments in this way.
“Tribby also handed over everything for the Streamers’ sake. I believe this much is acceptable. It’s only one day, after all.”
Dahee Chae nodded with a bitter expression.
“Yes… One day… But it’s peak season… Sigh.”
Had Cheese been greedy, they would have certainly earned tremendous commissions from the donations generated in this final battle.
But the Production Team members involved in this project said that narrative completeness was far more important.
The story of why Cheese Village was created and where it originated from.
That would elevate the sense of belonging to the platform, and it wouldn’t be limited to just the viewers.
Dahee Chae was convinced by that argument.
“How many hours until Tribby shuts down?”
“About 6 hours remain. The Streamers’ connection rate is at its peak right now. It seems they’re treating this as the final finale. Tribby is also bustling with people for the first time in a while. The media is also covering this extensively as a memorial service for Tribby.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Look here.”
The Employee held up their phone, displaying a portal news page.
[Platform ‘Tribby’ Faces Unexpected Peak Season Amid Network Usage Fee Issues?]
[Network Usage Fee Server Shutdown “Tribby” Departs Regrettably But With a Spectacular Closing Ceremony]
[Cheese Official “The Will of Heritage” Holds Spectacular Memorial Service for Tribby]
[Foreign Media “Tribby, the Most Joyful Funeral” – Hosted by Domestic Platform “Cheese”]
.
.
.
Foreign media reactions were spreading, and news outlets were reporting one after another.
Of course, this was partly because Cheese had prepared and distributed press releases.
But far more diverse types of articles were pouring out than what she had distributed.
Public opinion was genuinely responding to the situation.
“The response from legacy media is better than expected. It’s not a common occurrence, after all.”
“When were those bastards ever on the telecom companies’ side?”
Dahee Chae laughed softly and swept her hair back.
She seemed pleased with the media coverage.
“…Well, they’re the type to say one thing then another anyway.”
The employee noticed she was now satisfied and chuckled.
“What are you laughing at? It’s not over until it’s over.”

* * *
Thud.
Almond climbed onto the dragon’s back.
“Grrrrr….”
The dragon growled, clearly displeased.
-Should kill him right now but can’t do anything lol
-What’s with the dragon’s reaction lol
-Feels like reluctant cooperation lol
-???: This is just a temporary alliance.
-Looks like it’s glaring?
“Whoa. Whoa.”
Almond patted the dragon and tried to figure out how to ride and fly.
“…But it’s not moving?”
-Lol no way
-That’s true
-The dragon has a grudge against Almond lol
Even though Almond had climbed on, the dragon showed no intention of moving.
But then—
“!?”
Tap!
Someone took a seat in front of Almond, blocking his position.
It was Triana.
“I’ll ride the dragon. You shoot your bow from behind.”
As she grasped the dragon’s reins.
The dragon unfurled its wings.
Crash!
-Whoa
-The Saint’s got some serious power
-Damn
-Now that’s how it’s done
-Oh, so that’s the way to do it?
The dragon soared into the air.
Did the Mang-sa-yong-ryong react to this?
Kwaaaaaang!
A breath attack shot directly toward us.
The breath that passed through the magic circle split in multiple directions, spreading out like a carpet.
“Hold on tight.”
“Got it.”
Whoooosh!
Triana pulled the reins and the dragon soared upward.
She charged directly toward the incoming breath attack.
-Insane
-Huh?
-Hahahahaha
-Suicide?
“Wait, isn’t that drunk driving?! lol”
The villagers grew anxious seeing her fly toward the direction of the breath attack.
But that anxiety soon transformed into admiration.
-?
-Whoa
-Whoa…
-What the hell is that driving skill??
F1-class lol
and lol
-Is she even human? Not AI?
Whoooosh!
The dragon she piloted evaded the breath barrage by the slimmest margins, rapidly closing the distance to the Mang-sa-yong-ryong.
Kwaaang!
Triana’s flowing hair was singed by the breath, yet she never slowed.
“Now.”
Click.
When the moment came, I gave the signal.
Almond was already drawing the bowstring from behind.
Whoooosh!
The Mang-sa-yong-ryong, as if drawing a bowstring itself, gathered another breath attack.
One hit would mean instant deletion.
The breath reeking of terrifying destructive power was right before my eyes.
Triana flew straight toward it until the very end.
My bowstring remained steady as well.
‘Eyes….’
After releasing the lightest breath,
I released the string.
