The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 64
21. The Rebellion of Trash (2)
Almond asked in disbelief.
“I can’t revive?”
-Yeah
-The shadow swallowed everything
-There’s no Sanctuary lol
-Almond’s team without Almond oof
There’s no sanctuary, you know ㅠㅠ
“Why?”
Even after I explained it to him, he asked again.
-Lmaooo
-Denying reality lol
-Why don’t you explain how it even works first, Nut Fans
-Lmaooo
-He keeps asking why after explaining everything lol
Almond’s eyes darted between the mission window.
[Mission]
[Placement 5-Win Streak 1st Place]
[4/5]
[2.38 Million Won]
The mission reward had risen to 1.9 million won when I met Bontovi, and now it had climbed to 2.3 million won after Almond’s death.
Even at this very moment, the mission reward continued to climb.
Rather, it was climbing dramatically precisely because of this moment.
Of course it was.
Almond’s team’s only hope for victory—Almond—was dead and couldn’t even revive. Wasn’t that the situation?
It was essentially a game already lost.
“Ah… this can’t be happening.”
Almond muttered these words without realizing it.
I had barely ever experienced a mission failure until now.
The shock was immense.
Especially seeing that accumulating money.
Like it was mocking me, saying “catch me if you can,” wagging its tail.
Ding.
[ㅋㅋㅋ has donated 5,000 won.]
[hahahahahaha]
The viewers were excited, even mocking me with donations.
The voice TTS laughed with “Kekekeke~”
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahaha
hahahahahaha
I can’t laugh that hard lol
The chat window flooded with laughter.
Almond still stood there with his mouth hanging open, searching for the Sanctuary of Resurrection.
“But wait… where did that Kraken even come from?”
I blamed the Kraken that had suddenly appeared.
Of course, I couldn’t sue the Kraken for the mission reward, so it was a meaningless complaint.
But the viewers wouldn’t even let me have that.
-That spawns when you break open the vault
It’s something Popcorn dragged in lol
-Breaking the vault gives a slight handicap
“Hmm.”
Hearing that even the Kraken was something Popcorn had brought along, I closed my mouth again.
My mind kept circling back to these thoughts.
‘What if I had done it this way?’
‘It would’ve been better if I’d done that.’
Even Popcorn, transformed into Jujak, seemed slightly flustered.
It was something I wasn’t used to either.
If I had performed better back then, I might have ended it before the Kraken appeared.
‘Did I panic too?’
The appearance of the legendary divine form had shaken me as well.
That was what bothered me the most.
My greatest strength was a mental fortitude that never wavered.
Yet it seemed to have vanished in that instant.
Perhaps it was what Popcorn intended.
Whether it was intentional or not, I was frustrated.
With myself.
‘To lose control at such a moment.’
Jujak’s damage output was better than expected, and I think my mind became impatient.
This was the most dangerous thing to guard against in archery.
Just one more shot and it’s the gold medal.
Such thoughts were the direct path to defeat.
Even when that final arrow left the bowstring and embedded itself in the target, and the crowd’s cheers erupted.
An archer had to wait for the next target.
Even if it didn’t exist, that’s what had to be done.
For them, the gold medal wasn’t a goal—it was a byproduct of the process.
That’s how it had to be.
‘I’ve been a streamer for too long.’
Meeting Popcorn in a mere placement match, I’d rushed forward with impatience, trying to finish quickly.
There was a pressure I could never feel in archery.
It was the ‘team’.
‘If I don’t do it, we can’t win….’
Balloon Gum, Bontovi, Chocosong… their existence weighed heavily on Almond.
Since he couldn’t trust them, Almond had to do something.
Popcorn read Almond’s psychology perfectly.
[Viewer ‘LostButFought’ donated 10,000 won.]
[Lost but fought well. hahahaha]
The message was fine, but the TTS voice laughing haha! haha! haha!
It didn’t sound sincere at all.
Even if it had been sincere, Almond wouldn’t have been able to accept it.
hahahahaha
ㅋㅋㅋ (laughing)
Your voice lol
-But they did fight well
-It’s basically a draw
Popcorn won, right? Popcorn team is out though.
Popcorn’s team was eliminated and Almond’s team survived.
Almond saw that too.
But he couldn’t cheer at the sight of it.
His mind was still lingering in that previous battle.
‘He was relaxed the entire time.’
Fighting against Popcorn, I felt only one thing.
I fiercely pursued and dealt damage.
But my opponent felt just like dealing with a nephew on a holiday.
Of course, sometimes a nephew on a holiday is the scariest thing there is.
Because you don’t know what they’ll do.
That’s right.
That’s exactly the feeling.
I don’t know what he’ll do, so I’m worried.
But anyway, I’ll win.
That kind of momentum was felt.
‘Damn it.’
Crack—
I was frustrated.
It was a duel with an opponent I’d analyzed quite thoroughly.
Was that the only impression left?
As Almond’s expression grew darker, another donation came in.
[Viewer ‘MaybeNot’ donated 10,000 won.]
[Almond. Please don’t cry. You never know? What if those guys pull off a miraculous teamfight…]
Who’s crying? lol
-Unknown: Are you crying?
Hahaha why are you making people cry hahaha
Anyone who sees this would think I’m crying lol
Almond’s expression doesn’t look so good, haha.
-Well~ I don’t know, but the mission reward keeps climbing up~
The reason such consolation was meaningless.
“That can’t be right.”
For one thing, I couldn’t trust them.
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
Is it really king-like? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Stop teasing Almond, she’s upset lol
-Mission reward breaks 3 million~
Clink. Clink.
The mission reward was surpassing 3 million won.
Over five years at Aseng, Almond had learned this truth of society through bitter experience.
Money doesn’t lie.
The fact that defeat was looming heavily over this place was correct.
Ding.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Still… you love Balloon Gum, right?]
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha
I’m dying laughing hahahaha
Ruby Sword’s first ban crisis in life ㄷㄷ
If it were spicy stir-fried rice cakes, I would’ve quit right away lol
“I’m not sure.”
Almond muttered as if he genuinely didn’t know.
Hahahahahaha
This is the first time I’ve seen an almond look so gloomy lol
I’m laughing so hard, king! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-3 million flying away right before your eyes, no wonder you’re frustrated~
Is this all that happens when a mission fails?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Balloon gum almond fluoride theory lol
Because 3 million flew away?
That could be it.
I almost wished that was the reason for this feeling.
But what was it.
This frustration boiling up from deep within my chest.
“Still, let me at least watch for now.”
Almond took a moment to compose himself, then decided to watch the remaining teammates’ game.
Though his gaze remained calm, without much expectation.

* * *
Rather, there was someone else watching with considerable tension.
Jello.
‘Damn… damn it. There’s no way there’s a timeline where I actually win this and end up doing twerking, right?’
Even though he was inside a capsule, he could feel it.
The cold sweat trickling down his back.
Jello was that nervous.
“Surely those tank-heavy teams aren’t actually going to pull off a miracle, are they?”
Hahahahahaha
Tangerine pear lol
-Tank~
-It’s 4 vs 5 though?
-It’s a placement match so anything goes
-What if the Kraken shows up?
“Honestly, tank-heavy teams have no fundamentals compared to damage-heavy ones! It doesn’t make sense. Yeah, that’s right.”
He said that, but survival matches had far too many variables.
Especially with the Kraken roaming around right now.
What if the Kraken targeted one of the remaining teams instead of Almond’s?
“Insane. The Kraken… wait, there is a Kraken? Does anyone know the mechanism for who the Kraken targets?”
-The ones who woke it first
-It chases after whoever woke it up first
-The one who cries.
-Just random
“The one who cries is me, you bastard! This is ridiculous!?”
-The one who cries lol
-Hahahahahaha
-Lolololol
Most of them haven’t played Survival before so it’s hilarious how clueless they are lol
-The Kraken generally… yes…
The chat was just teasing, providing no actual information.
Jello felt frustrated.
“No, seriously, I’m in a rush here?”
Hahahahaha
Haha, what are you in such a rush for?
-Nothing you do will help anyway
Hahaha so urgent hahaha
-Twerking takes a long time to prepare! Whimper!
Jello grew anxious.
Looking at their desperate preparations below, they were clearly serious about this, weren’t they?
They were genuinely determined to win.

* * *
Meanwhile, the trash dreaming of rebellion.
“We have many tanks. We even have the Abyss Shark’s gills. If we endure through a war of attrition in the shadows, we might be able to win.”
Letmi issued orders, and everyone nodded as if they were one.
“I’ll hold this position.”
“Then I’ll take here.”
“Oh, they’re coming!”
Among the enemy’s divine forms was the ‘Terrorist – Boni’.
She fired a magitech rocket launcher.
Boom!
Almond’s team took cover behind the ruins and evaded.
Notably, besides Boni, there was the ‘Honryeongsa – Melly’.
“Uuuaahhh…!”
The soldiers that the Honryeongsa had summoned by slaying monsters rushed in from all directions.
“Wait, a Honryeongsa?! What is this?”
“I’ve never seen anything like this before…”
“Isn’t a Honryeongsa supposed to work by capturing minions…?”
Everyone panicked.
The phantom soldiers summoned by the Honryeongsa were different from what they’d seen before.
This was a skill adjusted for the survival battle system where minions don’t exist.
The Honryeongsa harvested souls from monster corpses to create phantom soldiers, and these soldiers were far stronger and lasted much longer.
“Uuuaahhh!”
Phantom soldiers that had been accumulated rushed in from all sides.
Combined with Boni’s poking attacks.
Other Bruiser divine forms charged into the ruins.
Boom!
An all-out battle erupted in an instant.
Bontovi pushed back with his shield and activated his divine form ability.
Balloon Gum’s divine form was still on cooldown.
The Explosion Light divine form activated as well.
Massive bombs were dropped relentlessly toward the ruins.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
The enemies’ divine form abilities all combined, creating an enormous cloud of dust.
But then came the decisive divine form ability.
[Can’t Plant]
Whoosh!
Letmi scattered nails, and Bontovi and Balloon Gum charged forward with their bodies, driving those nails deep.
Ghost soldiers, Contractors, whatever.
Nails pierced through indiscriminately.
“Damn it, exclude the ghost soldiers! They’re healing instead with this!”
“Is there a damn Paladin!?”
This was a Paladin in the chaos of battle.
Uuuuung!
Continuously receiving healing effects, of course.
〔The Lord absolves the sins that flow through your blood〕
The Paladin’s Divine Form activated.
[Divine Form – Reformation]
“!”
A terrifying Divine Form that temporarily turns the Paladin’s allies into enemies for a duration equal to the number of nails driven in.
The cooldown was correspondingly massive.
Letmi had been saving it until this very moment.
-Wow
-Insane
-Gasp
-Here???
-Crazy
-Kya
Three out of five enemy Contractors turned around.
Multiple ghost soldiers did the same.
“Wh-what!?”
Boni, who had been dealing damage from behind, panicked.
“Damn it!”
Boni had no choice but to slide backward and retreat.
Beeeep!
[You are in the Abyss Shadow’s area of effect!]
The shadow had already descended.
“Ah, aaaaah!?”
The ruins were at the center of the shadow.
But with three of her own allies blocking the ruins, she couldn’t break through immediately.
She had to wait for Reformation to wear off.
[Abyss Shark’s Gill Respiration]
[Remaining time: 14 seconds]
Still, they were on their way to capturing the Abyss Shark.
The gills still remained.
“Haa… ha… I held it back.”
A brief moment of calm.
Letmi whittled down their health by making the brainwashed fighters battle each other.
One of them fell.
[Enemy eliminated!]
[Let Me Tank → Hope Dealer]
-Wow
-Insane
-What is Letmi doing?
Ugh, this is so frustrating.
-Hako’s power!
Balloon Gum, Bontovi, and Chocosong were still alive.
Four versus four.
“Crazy, I killed them!”
“The shadow is coming! Hold on just a bit longer! We’ll heal with nails!”
As the brainwashing wore off, Letmi scattered nails onto the phantom soldiers again.
Boom! Boom!
Balloon Gum and Bontovi drove those nails in, recovering their health.
“Ha, we can do this!”
Balloon Gum cried out, gasping for breath.
It really looked like they could win.
I felt like we were almost there.
[Enemy eliminated!]
[Chocosong → The Sky Helps]
Chocosong cut down even the enemy Boni.
“Nice!”
“Awesome!”
Morale surged.
The enemy Bruiser burst into the ruins.
A wind blade.
An invisible, formless freedom sword swung wildly.
Whoosh! Slash!
It pressed Letmi back while approaching Chocosong.
Another Bruiser, a spear soldier, entered from behind.
Crash!
Bontovi resisted with his shield, but.
[Health 12%]
Bontovi was on the verge of death.
That’s when Balloon Gum’s Kang-sin skill cooldown had just finished.
[Kang-sin – Spinning Crash!]
Thud!
Balloon Gum drove a stake into one spot, then spun wildly around it as the center.
Boom-boom-boom-thud!
All the Enemy Bruisers are sent flying backward.
“Insane!”
[Abyss Gill Breathing]
[Time Remaining: 3 seconds]
The gills of all the enemies are wearing down.
The shadow hasn’t reached the ruins yet.
“Huff… I-I’ll try to block it!”
Bontovi repositions himself.
Balloon Gum also holds his original position.
[The shadow of the Abyss descends!]
The shadow of the Abyss closes in once more.
The moment they’ve been waiting for arrives.
When everyone’s health runs out.
Only the tanks will remain.
Balloon Gum speaks with grim determination.
“We’re… making a promise. If we win this, we’re all uploading this match to AllTube together. The title will be… ‘The Trash Rebellion.'”
-Why does he keep calling everyone trash lol
-lmao that trash obsession lol
-lololololol
-Balloon Gum’s a kid… such a silly kid…
-They’re all headed to the trash bin lol
However, that AllTube video with such a title was never uploaded.
Craaaaaash—
“?”
A tentacle of the Kraken erupts from the center of the ruins, and Balloon Gum, who had just uttered those words, is sent flying high into the sky.
