The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 34
11. Perfect Death (2)
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Racing toward the Sanctuary of Resurrection.
Almond was no exception to the filtered chat messages that had been appearing since earlier.
-*$*@&$
This time, please let it be a resurrection.
No lol, isn’t Resurrection a one-time use?
-@*$#*
Almond, who subtly paid close attention to the chat, couldn’t possibly miss this.
“Everyone, don’t insult Balloon Gum. He just did well, so why?”
He simply interpreted it as he wished and moved on.
-?
-?
Where’s the gum-shaped insult??ㅋㅋㅋ
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
Filtering? Lol
“Again, you’re insulting me again? Huh? You’re lying, right?”
Balloon Gum asked, running up from behind.
“No. The filtered messages just keep popping up….”
“I wish you were lying….”
“?”
Balloon Gum’s spirits sank.
Hahahaha
I was hoping it was a lie/joke.
If it were a lie, wouldn’t you be cursing directly? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-chewing gum lol
“Let’s just run.”
Almond avoided answering and ran faster.
Ting! Tiing!
The warning sound from the Sanctuary of Resurrection was ringing faster and faster.
This meant the revival was nearly complete.
“We’re, we’re almost there! Step on the gold!”
Thump!
The Sanctuary of Resurrection’s area turned red.
It meant beings from different factions had entered.
[An enemy exists in the Sanctuary of Resurrection area.]
[Revival progress has stopped.]
Balloon Gum and Almond carefully circled around the Sanctuary of Resurrection with lowered stances.
Craaaash—
Something suddenly slams into my back.
“Damn it!”
An enemy.
Thud!
We both startle and leap to opposite sides.
“Huh…?”
My eyes widen.
‘Isn’t that the one I saw earlier?’
Surprisingly, there’s only a single enemy.
“Ahhhhh! You chased me all the way here!? You relentless bastards!”
-?
Hahahaha
-Isn’t that him?
It was the Remnant Soldier who’d lost to me in the Red Turtle battle and fled.
Click!
He draws his weapon, determined to make a final stand.
“Y-you! Get out of here!”
His appearance was utterly pathetic.
Just a level 3, not even a Contractor.
Meanwhile, I’d contracted with Sori and was level 4.
“This will be easy.”
I snap the bowstring in an instant.
Twang!
An arrow immediately strikes his head.
Three more hits and he’s dead.
Then—
“Wait!”
My opponent suddenly raises both arms.
A surrender gesture.
“P-please wait…! Don’t you all need to be resurrected too!?”
Surprisingly, he attempts to negotiate.
At first he was trying to kill me lol
-Wait, he’s negotiating?
After getting hit once, I guess I realized it wasn’t it lolololol
As soon as he got hit in the head ㅋㅋㅋ
Negotiation.
One of the subtle arts of survival battles.
When interests align, players sometimes team up temporarily.
This phenomenon is rarely seen in other battle royale genres.
But with contracts, resurrection, and other variables at play, there were many elements to trade, creating this unique culture.
“Not just you all, but other guys came here too. How about we both resurrect? You go first. I’ll do it later.”
His ID was Bori-cha.
He seemed genuinely desperate.
Thwack!
Two arrows embed themselves directly into that earnest face.
Two of them.
“Lie. How do you use the Sanctuary of Resurrection twice?”
“…?”
-?
Hahahahahaha
-Deal’s off.
That expression is hilarious lol
The opponent’s face is utterly bewildered.
He can’t figure out why Almond would say such a thing.
The Sanctuary of Resurrection can be used twice, three times, as many times as you want!
But he didn’t give up.
‘He could have killed me. But he didn’t.’
Almond could have fired more arrows and killed him.
He only fired one.
There’s room for cooperation.
So he appeals further.
“W-what does that matter! I’m resurrecting later anyway! If I can’t resurrect twice, I’m the only one losing out!?”
The opponent seems to be misunderstanding something, but if that’s the case, he can just persuade him that way.
“Hmm…?”
Almond scratches his head.
“Is that so?”
“Seems like it might be. Mond.”
Almond and Balloon Gum look at each other and nod.
“Alright.”
Hahahahaha
-Dumb and dumber
No lol
-Who are we? Ghostbusters~!
“I’ll head outside and switch to your resurrection countdown.”
The man slowly walks backward and exits the Sanctuary of Resurrection area.
Ting…!
The area turns green again as resurrection begins.
Of course, Almond’s team’s resurrection.
[9 seconds until resurrection]
The count restarts from one second.
Ting! Ting!
[7 seconds until resurrection]
Keying!
The Sanctuary of Resurrection’s area shifted back to red.
‘They’re here.’
An enemy team had appeared.
Almond signaled the man to re-enter the area.
He walked over and joined Almond and Balloon Gum.
“Hey, you’re keeping your promise, right?”
“Of course.”
For the man, this was the best choice available.
There was nothing he could accomplish alone anyway.
Rustle. Rustle.
He could hear the enemies approaching.
Just from the sound, there were many of them.
This wasn’t about resurrection.
A brief exchange of small talk while the enemies drew near.
“Balloon Gum. I’m a fan of yours. My name is Bori-cha.”
“…Oh. Kkeom-buddy?”
“Yes.”
Bori-cha introduced herself.
She seemed to be appealing to her fan status to ensure the promise was kept.
“Oh my, one of our viewers… Would you like a Potion?”
“Really? For real?”
-Going this far?
As expected, you’re hopeless ㅠㅠ
“asking if it’s not poison lol”
“Ha, if you’re gonna tank hits, you need high stamina lol”
Balloon Gum reached for the Potion hanging from his pocket.
Tsk—
Almond stopped him.
“That’s not a Potion, hyung.”
“…Huh? Then what is it?”
To anyone’s eyes, it looked exactly like a Potion.
“Barley. Please scout ahead.”
“But… I’m an ADC?”
That was true.
Bori-cha was holding a gun.
“That’s exactly why you should go.”
But Almond ordered her forward anyway.
It was forced, but there was no choice.
If I didn’t comply here, it seemed like I’d die any second.
‘Fine… I’ll find an opportunity somehow….’
In truth, Bori-cha was already thinking of something different.
There had to be another team nearby.
I’d attach myself to them, offer these two as sacrifices, and resurrect myself at the empty Sanctuary of Resurrection.
“Huff… Understood. I’ll scout ahead.”
If I went scouting, I’d separate from these two and get a chance to join another team.
‘After all, there are only two of them here.’
Bori-cha began walking carefully forward.
Another team appeared immediately.
‘There they are.’
Tap-tap-tap—
He deliberately ran toward them faster.
With both hands raised.
“Hey! Over there! Enemy!”
The enemies tried to shoot Bori-cha dead.
“Wait! I surrender!”
“What? You’re coming to surrender?”
“Yes, I surrender! I’m alone now. Sirs, even if you kill me, there’s no point. So just give me one more kill. There’s another team over there. They have a Contractor too, so you can get Runes. I can lure them in. If you devour them, I’ll stay quiet and just wait for resurrection.”
At Bori-cha’s words, the five team members look at each other.
“Who are those two? What are their positions?”
The Sunglasses Avatar among the five members asked.
“One is Sori, and one is just a Tank.”
“ADC and Tank?”
“Yes.”
“You’re not from their team?”
“No, no. Even if you step outside the line here, you won’t resurrect. We’re from different teams. I was just pretending to team up.”
It was reasonably convincing.
After all, they could kill the remaining thug anytime, and what really mattered was the Contractor.
“Let’s catch the Contractor?”
Someone suggests from behind.
“We need to get the Runes too.”
“Understood. Then go lure them here.”
“Yes.”
Bori-cha turned to go back.
Thunk!
An arrow lodged itself in Bori-cha’s forehead.
‘What….’
Whoosh!
Suddenly, flames erupted skyward.
‘What?’
Boom!
With a deafening roar, my vision filled with smoke.
[Flame Arrow]
The arrow lodged in Barley was a Flame Arrow.
When I first encountered Barley, I had planted three arrows and saved an elemental arrow for the fourth shot.
-That buildup though
-What the
-This was planned
-Such a clever young man…
“What!?”
Everyone near Barley took damage as well.
“Is this a suicide bombing!?”
“Shoot!”
“No, wait! It’s not—”
Barley tried to wave his hands in denial.
[Rope Movement]
Clang!
The rope hook caught Barley’s back of the head.
“Wh-what!?”
Screeeech!
As the rope retracted, a figure rushed forward in an instant.
[Flame Arrow]
An elemental arrow is released.
Boom!
Another explosion spreads outward.
Utter chaos.
“Damn it, he’s the enemy! That bait bastard tricked us!”
They scattered in all directions to avoid further flames.
At this moment, I turned back and drew my bowstring toward Barley.
“You… you promised…!”
Barley trembled with betrayal.
I answered coldly.
“The Sanctuary of Resurrection is single-use anyway.”
“No, I’m saying—”
The truth never left his lips.
—Thunk!
[Reckless Warrior → Barley]
I killed Barley without hesitation.
Hahahahaha no way lol
This bastard knows he’s not coming back even once, lol.
-It is ㅋㅋㅋㅋ doing it like this
-He was just trying to ease his guilt… Smart young man!
-So anyway, it’s only one resurrection, why bother defending~
Crazy lolololol
This was my plan from the start.
Why?
Because of Sori’s ability composition.
[Rope Movement]
Every time I use the Rope Movement skill, one additional elemental arrow charges up.
And what removes the cooldown of this Rope Movement is precisely ‘Kill Participation’.
In other words, as long as Sori secures a kill, I can unleash more than double my firepower in an instant.
Whoosh!
I instantly move somewhere and fire arrows toward Jello’s team.
[Wind Arrow]
This time I chose the element with the strongest individual damage.
The enemies had all scattered because they were wary of the flame arrows.
Boom!
“Ugh!”
The targeted player takes arrows to the back of the head in rapid succession.
Boom boom!
Three more hits.
Another elemental arrow.
[Wind Arrow]
Boom!
[Reckless Warrior → Ramsui Thunder]
Hana vanished in an instant.
-Wow
-The strategy!? Smart young man!
-This is insane
Where’s the bubble gum?ㅋㅋㅋ
-Almond seems to be in serious mode today, this is crazy
-Ooooh
My strategy was quite sharp.
I designated sacrifices for Sori’s skills and was properly shaking things up by instantly resetting the skill cooldowns.
‘Even the Rune Spirit.’
And I executed the Rune Spirit execution perfectly.
The Rune Spirit execution was simple.
You just had to stomp on that bouncing creature with your foot.
This is a bit difficult to land perfectly, but anyone can do it given enough time.
‘Whoosh.’
Piyuu~!
With that sound, the Rune Spirit ascended into the sky and vanished.
[Rope Movement]
Ziiiiik!
I fired another Rope Movement and charged forward like an arrow.
Suddenly, someone counter-charged and swung their blade.
Swish—
“!”
As our speeds collided, it became a sword strike of truly devastating velocity.
But I blocked it with my bowstring.
——Clang!
However, it was only once.
The enemy quickly twisted their blade again and succeeded in drawing blood.
Splaaash!
‘Why is this so fast?’
Even accounting for our combined speeds, this was too quick.
They were definitely a Contractor, and it seemed they’d made a pact with an Avatar specialized in speed.
‘An assassin?’
Poison for an ADC.
Tap!
I landed and reconsidered.
‘I have to kill them immediately.’
A prolonged fight means defeat.
I turned backward and drew the bowstring.
Pababang!
Three arrows flew in an instant.
[Shuriken Storm Barrage]
Clanging!
The enemy used a ranged skill and canceled them out.
‘Huh?’
I tilted my head.
Beyond those skills, I saw a face far too familiar.
That face grinned widely.
“Wait, who are you?”
Whoosh.
A man in sunglasses casually spun his blade.
“Aren’t you Daegam?”
-What
-Finally lol
-Here we go
-lololololololol
-lololololol
-Zelra, chasing even Ril to avenge her father and grandfather…
-lmao Jello lol
-Did that insane Zelruto come all the way here to catch this bastard!?
Almond froze for a moment, unable to finish firing his arrow.
‘Is this… a True Mond show?’
It didn’t make sense to him that both Balloon Gum and Jello were at Q.
“Do you desire resurrection, youngster?”
But it wasn’t just Jello.
Clang.
A man holding a shield appeared beside him.
“Then get past us.”
It was Dotorimuk.
[Dotorimuk]
-He’s here too?
-Dotorimuk lololol
-Damn are they doing a duo rotation???
-Suddenly the vibe got serious lol
-Huh lololol
Then Balloon Gum comes running from behind.
“Damn it! Mond! You should’ve told us before dying! Our viewer said… huh?”
He also stops short upon seeing Jello and Dotorimuk.
But his reason for stopping was different from Almond’s.
“Ah… they’ve arrived.”
As if he already knew he would meet them, he steps up beside Almond and raises his shield.
“We met too soon.”

[Beginner Tip]
[Did you know? There’s a saying in the Abyss: Enemies meet at the Sanctuary of Resurrection.]
