The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 42
14. Zelra’s Legend (1)
Battles in Ril are divided into those with Divine Descent and those without.
Divine Descent is a powerful skill learned from Level 6 onward—a technique where an incarnation manifests in the Contractor’s body to be wielded.
Contractors can exert power that transcends their own abilities.
Therefore, team fights take on an entirely different character.
A Contractor vanishes in an instant and the fight begins, or sometimes a single Divine Descent leaves three or four people unable to fight, ending the entire team fight.
Twenty to thirty minutes of buildup ends in under five seconds.
This is what Ril is truly like.
But—
“In survival matches, though, you can revive fallen allies. So sometimes it stretches out much longer.”
Slurp.
A woman sucking on a tube-shaped ice cream says this.
On the monitor in front of her, Almond’s broadcast was playing.
“Like Zelru right now. He keeps getting revived.”
Jello, who had vanished in almost one hit from Almond’s Divine Descent, had become Zelru.
“It’s Zelru, not Zelru.”
“Whatever.”
“You didn’t know that after what happened with Triana?”
“Don’t bring that up.”
Sarang cuts off the conversation without even making eye contact, as if it never happened.
She apparently didn’t want to show it to her friends no matter what.
It was meaningless.
Because all her friends already knew.
“The curse of low resolution. It was cast by only one being. That is… the Reckless Warrior~”
“Hey!”
Crash!
A mouse flies over Popcorn’s head.
“Huh? Too slow.”
After dodging the mouse, he says that.
“Behind you.”
Smack!
A tremendous blow strikes the back of his head.
“Ugh!?”
What on earth?
Looking at it, Choi Sa-rang is holding the mouse cable.
She threw it and pulled the cable back.
“What era are we in and you’re still using a wired—?”
“Wired is the fastest.”
“Y-yeah. It is fast.”
Popcorn touched the bump on the back of his head and muttered.
“So survival matches actually increase your chances of surviving in the latter half, right?”
“Why are you asking me?”
“Well, I don’t have much experience with other modes?”
“No, that’s why you shouldn’t be asking another team’s Coach about it. Oksuha.”
Unlike Jeon-ja-pa, who had experience with both survival and victory matches, Popcorn had little interest in anything besides siege mode.
He actually preferred Civil Empire more.
“Another team? Come on! We’re not strangers!”
Suhan tried to brush it off as a joke, but it didn’t land.
“When you all formed a team without me and went out—that’s when we became strangers.”
“That’s… well….”
Popcorn scratched his head.
‘She wants to keep her identity hidden.’
Jeon-ja-pa appearing in Civil Empire and appearing in Ril were completely different matters.
Account switching was impossible, and even if she used every trick to bypass it, someone would definitely recognize her.
She would know that better than anyone.
‘Maybe… she’s just being petulant.’
It seemed her heart simply felt left out.
Now that the rest of the team was gathering without her, and they were going to run an event.
Thinking about it that way, Popcorn felt a pang of sympathy.
He remembered what Cosmic and Cosmic had said.
「She never once abandoned the path of a professional.」
After the match where she played as Choi Sun-sin ended, Cosmic remained in that arena for a long time without getting up.
「She didn’t abandon our team either.」
Then what?
When Suhan asked at the time, he confessed in a trembling voice.
「I… I was the one who abandoned it.」
Tap, tap.
While Suhan was lost in thought, Sarang tapped him from beside.
“Hey. So tell me. What are you thinking about?”
“Huh? Oh… no. What would I say?”
“Your team’s mid… no, what about the other member?”
“….”
She’s really going to ask this.
I thought she’d be curious, but I didn’t expect her to actually ask.
On the other hand, she’s quite something.
She refuses to say things she should say, yet she asks about things others can’t easily discuss as if it’s natural.
“I don’t know, man.”
Popcorn couldn’t leak that by himself.
“What? But why are you asking me about survival matches?”
“You want to make that deal right now? Do you really think it’ll go through?”
“Yeah.”
“Hah… hmm…”
Popcorn was genuinely torn on this one.
Just then, he pointed at the monitor and spoke urgently.
“Wait. Jello… no, Zelra is going in from behind!”
Since Choi Sa-rang had bet money on Almond’s team winning and Popcorn had bet on Jello’s team winning.
This was a more critical issue than he’d thought.
“He’s actually pulling off a rear flank in this situation. That’s not easy. He handles Chakra pretty well though?”
“It’s not easy… but it’s wasted effort.”
“Huh? Why?”

* * *
“I-I’m Zelra!?”
The Zel family, who had experienced three generations in succession—from Jello to Zelru to Zelra—in the blink of an eye.
-Faster than a mayfly lmao
-Even viruses live longer than the Zel family kkkkk
-Is short lifespan genetic?
-kkkkkkk
Jello, now Zelra.
This time, he was determined to avenge his family name, so he turned toward the rear and attempted a flanking maneuver.
Boom!
“I’ll cut down the dealers one by one─”
The moment he engaged from behind.
Thud!?
“Shit… why the hell is there a tank in the rear!?”
-lmaooo
-wtf kkkkk
-Figures, a team led by a tank doing rear flanks
-Why is a tank where the dealer should be
Ril is a first-person game.
When the old third-person AOS was converted to first-person, the biggest problem that emerged was positioning.
Without the minimap, it’s difficult to see each other’s positions from above, resulting in far worse positioning than in the old PC gaming era.
This positioning issue doesn’t just apply to allies—there’s an even greater barrier in identifying enemy positions.
While ally positioning can be grasped through briefings and the minimap, the enemy’s situation isn’t clearly visible.
So you have no choice but to move based on assumptions.
Based on the obvious assumption that dealers would be in the rear, Jello moved forward.
“Thwack.”
What he encountered was a Pure Tanker.
“This damn─”
“Stone Clap~!”
[Stone Clap]
Kwang!
Two fists of stone collided right in front of Jello, sending out a shockwave.
[Stun]
I was instantly stunned.
[Deafened]
All of my allies’ pings, voice communications, and minimap were completely blocked.
lol
-Why is this coming out here lolol
-Wait, they have two tanks in the front line?
-Gigant and Bart are there, and now there’s a Stone Colossus too?
-Stone… Colossus lolololol
Thud!
The stone fist struck my momentarily stunned head, and activated the skill once more.
[Rockfall]
Massive boulders fell from the sky.
Since it was a delayed skill, it wouldn’t be dangerous without the stun.
“Ugh!?”
But for me right now, it was extremely dangerous.
-lololol
-Huh?
-Zelra was born so we need to throw a stone celebration~
I can’t provide a meaningful translation for “-ㅂㅇ” as it appears to be incomplete Korean text or an abbreviation without clear context. Could you provide more context or the complete phrase?
[Chakra Release]
Kwang!
I released my chakra and barely evaded the attack.
Hazy dust clouds rose up, obscuring everything around me.
-Ooh
I dodged it lol
-Nice
‘How many chakra stacks do I have right now.’
The Storm Ninja’s passive strengthened chakra output based on kills obtained.
I had grown considerably stronger at this point.
So my movements were far more violent and faster.
[Chakra Adhesion]
Pat!
I clung to the towering terrain like a wall.
“I’m, I’m in here!”
Thud
He pushed off again, swinging his blade.
“The enemy of my Father! The enemy of my Grandfather!”
Because I had seen Almond hiding behind this massive stone.
Haha, seriously though lol
I can’t be laughing like that
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol lol lol lol lol)
“Not a chance!”
The massive stone tried to block him.
But the speed difference was undeniable.
“Move!”
Whoosh!
Jello’s body shot forward in an instant, flying toward Almond.
Almond was still attacking Jello’s team’s vanguard.
‘He can’t see anything right now. If I catch his back…!’
It was a perfect opportunity.
The moment my blade flew precisely toward Almond’s neck.
“!?”
Our eyes met.
Smirk.
Almond was smiling.
‘Damn it.’
I realized something had gone wrong here.
But no one could help me.
[Chill Arrow]
Boom!
An arrow struck Jello’s head—I don’t know how it was shot.
‘A… a curve shot!’
[Frozen Bind]
Jello froze again.
Right in the middle of the enemy lines.
“J-Jen!”
Hahaha, that’s hilarious
-Again?
-???: I told you not to be like your Father.
-Wow
-Perfect Death… is that what you’re showing?
That’s when it happened.
[Dotorimuk is raging wildly!]
[Dotorimuk → Balloon Gum]
Then this notification came through.
[I shall fulfill the contract sealed in blood.]
My Divine Descent Technique activated.
[Ice Wall]
Kwakwang!
A colossal ice wall erupted, blocking the space between Jello and Almond.
“Ooooooh!”
It was Dotorimuk.
Chiiiiiii—
He was gliding atop the ice wall on an ice board.
-Wow
-screamed
-Kyaa
[I shall honor the contract bound in blood.]
Shwaaaaaaa!
Behind that, an enormous tidal wave surged forward.
[Tidal Wave]
Aqua’s Divine Descent Technique—Tidal Wave.
“Whoa, here it comes! Asia-style!”
Hahahahaha
Haha, saying the combination is trash haha
“When are you ever at a loss for words? lol”
Almond’s team, swept away momentarily by the tidal wave, had their formation scattered, and the Frost Archer’s skills poured down upon them.
“Ice Age!”
Dotorimuk chanted in a deep, resonant voice.
[Frost Barrage]
A technique that scatters ice arrows in a fan-shaped spread across the front.
What’s up with the voice bluff lol
Ice Age lol
Hahahahahaha
-having fun
Dotorimuk honestly wasn’t the best at aiming, so he relied heavily on this skill.
It hit almost everything anyway.
[Frozen]
[Frozen]
Indeed, Almond’s team fell into the frozen state because of it.
“Go kill them!”
Chwachwachok!
Jello, Aqua, and the Frost Archer, freed from the frozen state, converged and unleashed a barrage of skills in relentless strikes.
But then—
“…Huh?”
“Ah, nobody died.”
Only the stone golem and the Mace Paladin had turned to ice.
[Health 45%]
[Health 78%]
Both of their health pools were incredibly robust.
“Where the hell is the damage dealer?”
Girerik─
The sound of a bowstring being drawn came from an entirely different location.
The tanks had taken the frost blades in Almond’s stead, and he had repositioned to a completely different spot.
“No, no, no! This can’t be!”
Zelra cried out.
Puffbung!
Dotorimuk was struck by three arrows in rapid succession.
“I-impossible, there’s no way arrows can be this fast─”
Those were his final words.
[Nail Scatter]
The Mace Paladin’s Nail Scatter, released from the ice.
〔A blood contract? Did such a thing even exist!? I’m made of stone!〕
The stone golem Kutan’s descent technique.
Merging with the earth itself, he instantly charged at the enemy and shot upward in an airborne technique.
Kugugugugu…!
[Earthen Upheaval]
Kwakwang!
The terrain and structures built from ice walls were all destroyed simultaneously as Dotorimuk, Aqua, and Jello were all lifted into the air.
“Kuhaha! Three-man combo was perfect!”
Basakbasakk experienced the exhilaration of tanking.
[Wind Arrow]
The Wind Arrow pierced directly through Dotorimuk’s head.
Puffwang!
Dotorimuk’s health, which had been at 100%, plummeted to 10% in an instant.
‘The arrows….’
Clunk.
My quiver was empty.
Reload time was two seconds.
But it didn’t matter.
[Rope Movement]
Ziiiiik!
I used Rope Movement on Dotorimuk.
Another arrow loaded.
An elemental arrow.
[Flame Arrow]
A flame arrow that detonates with splash damage.
Whoooosh!
Dotorimuk explodes in a brilliant crimson burst.
[The Reckless Warrior is legendary!]
[Reckless Warrior → Dotorimuk]
Zelra witnessed the legend in that moment and despaired.
“Damn… damn it….”
She understood all too well what it meant that one person was already dead from a single rope movement.
‘This is too fast?’
Even now, Jello and Aqua were still floating upward.
In this brief instant, three more arrows were fired.
[Flame Arrow]
The final elemental arrow flew in and detonated, then—
[Rope Movement]
[Flame Arrow]
Two explosions in succession.
Aqua burst apart, scattering splash damage all around.
Dead, so rope movement again.
‘This… it’s over.’
Jello believed he would be dead before his feet even touched the ground.
How many crowd control users were even here?
There was no way a Ninja could survive this.
One Wind Arrow would be the end.
But then….
[Frost Arrow]
“Stop the damage!”
Ting!
A low-damage Frost Arrow flew in and froze Jello in place.
“!?”
Almond suddenly vanished somewhere.
And the tanks moved in to block the area around Jello.
A massive stone golem, Gigant wielding a greatsword, and a Paladin with a mace.
It looked like hired thugs surrounding someone.
“Hey. The boss said he’s stepping out for a smoke real quick. Wait here.”
“?”
“Why the question mark? A cigarette before we kill you is fair, right?”
Hahahahahaha
Haha, f*** it lol
“Isn’t that what someone who’s dying should say? lol”
-LMAOOOOO
-What is this?LOLOLOL
-Why exactly??HAHAHAHA
-This is Perfect Death…
-Is he a thug?LOLOL
Whoooosh…!
Almond flew toward Balloon Gum’s position, reviving his Rune Spirit.
‘I have to complete the mission.’
If it ended like this, the mission would fail.
Jello, unaware of this, roared out.
“Just kill these bastards!”
-LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
-And so Zelra’s legend is born…
-Isn’t he just gonna die to Kkeom again?LOLOL
-Betraying Daegam means three generations suffer like this…
-Zelra’s legend… (*protagonist Almond)
-HAHAHAHAHAHA
-Jello LOLOLOL
-This is pure humiliation, for real
