The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 102
32. Awaken (3)
Riksia, the Rift Pursuer.
She was an avatar that emerged after Sori, the Silent Hunter.
When Sori first released, many criticized her performance as flawed, whereas Riksia was called OP—Over Powered—from her very first day on the market.
First, there’s the wormhole.
Literally, she creates spatial tunnels to traverse.
The problem is how freely she can generate them.
Beyond that, she doesn’t just pass through the wormhole herself—she can send projectiles through it as well.
In other words, if she places a wormhole in front of her body, every attack enters the wormhole and exits somewhere else the player designates.
The most problematic skill is what she calls the “Killing Shot.”
It’s a laser-like skill fired in a straight line.
The firing speed and cooldown are fast, and the damage is quite respectable.
The only weakness is that its range isn’t particularly long.
She solves that with the wormhole.
She feeds the Killing Shot into the wormhole and fires it wherever she wants.
Once the Killing Shot enters the wormhole, its range resets, so it fires out of the wormhole with its full original range.
The maximum number of wormholes she can create increases by 3 → 4 → 5… with each skill point invested.
What happens when she starts connecting them in multiple directions?
Zzzzzzzzzzzt!
Just as the Riksia player is firing now, she can defend her surroundings by shooting lasers in an almost star pattern.
The performance is truly astonishing.
“Ugh, ahhhhhhh!”
What’s strange, however, is that it’s Riksia who’s screaming in alarm.
She was facing 28 summoned Thought Entities that appeared out of nowhere.
“How are you dodging all of this!?”
The summoned Thought Entities were evading her attacks.
Whoosh, whoosh.
They swayed their heads like boxers, moving far too freely.
-Wow
-Huh?
-kkk Just a head tilt?
-What?
-Insane kkkkk
-28 Mayweathers lol
When Riksia’s Killing Shot is linked with the wormhole, it essentially has no weaknesses.
The only weakness is the narrow impact area—about the width of a single finger.
Because of that, you can dodge with very minimal movement.
In theory, anyway.
In practice, it’s extremely fast and the trajectory can be made so complex that it’s literally “impossible to read.”
Only through speech is Ril capable.
Yet a summoned creature that isn’t even a Player is evading the killing shots.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The conventional wisdom is that Thought Entities numbering ten or more must all move identically.
But these Thought Entities are all dodging the killing shots as if possessed by individual will.
Riksia fires again, trembling with dread as the Thought Entities approach slowly while she evades their assault.
‘One more time!’
[Killing Shot]
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
The result was the same.
Just to be sure, I even fired at the Foolish Youth controlling them.
Crackle!
It misses regardless.
“…?”
He tilts his head with an expression that seems to ask, ‘Why are you shooting at me?’
Well, the Thought Entities had already closed in on her completely.
Thud!
A Thought Entity wielding a hammer crashes down on her head.
“Gack…!?”
[Health 61%]
The Foolish Youth had ranged Thought Entities as well, but they were all occupied fighting the other enemies.
Only melee Thought Entities had approached Riksia.
[Riksia only takes damage from close-range attacks! Send only melee units! Just keep the ranged ones from reaching her!]
This was due to Danmuji’s advice.
Riksia had a high probability of deflecting ranged attacks through wormholes or even reflecting them.
Especially since the Thought Entities’ ranged attacks were somewhat sluggish.
Danmuji’s order was precise.
But there was one thing different from Danmuji’s expectations.
‘The opponent’s proficiency with Riksia is higher than I thought.’
The opponent’s skill level.
She had spread wormholes all around herself and created a barrier.
With each killing shot, the star-shaped barrier activates multiple times.
It was essentially like having a squadron of escort drones, so any Thought Entity approaching should have been struck down by several killing shots normally.
‘But the Foolish Youth is even more absurd!’
Almond displays control that seems almost possessed by spirits.
The Thought Entities naturally dodge the laser barrage and swing their weapons.
Boom!
The hammer wielded by the Thought Entity strikes her flank again.
“Ugh!”
Riksia is pushed sideways by the impact.
Riksia had little she could do once the close-quarters beating began.
“Well~ have fun playing~!”
Sseung.
She enters what’s supposed to be an escape through a wormhole.
However, the wormhole couldn’t generate a proper escape route leading far away either.
“Huh…?”
A massive shadow waiting the moment she emerges.
“I can see everything.”
Thwack!
What awaits her upon exiting the wormhole is the thought entity’s blunt weapon.
From Almond’s perspective, I couldn’t understand why she’d take that hit after moving only a few centimeters forward.
‘…A mistake.’
This was a mistake.
She’d laid down so many wormholes that she got confused.
In fact, I saw where the wormhole connected better than the creator herself.
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkk Almond’s confused
-Ah that’s refreshing kkk
Haha, seriously
-Kyaa
Thud!
Riksia collapsed.
The thought entities swarmed over and trampled her.
Thwack! Thwack!
“I’m telling you, lol”
-Is she a rolled sushi kkkkk
Lol, it’s just Cider (soda) ㅋㅋ
-My heart feels so light~
“And but like, what even is this for real?ㅋㅋㅋ”
-Riksia getting beaten by that annoying thing feels so good kkk
Since her release, Riksia had firmly established herself as an “irritating character” to players.
Constantly moving back and forth through wormholes while firing her cannon at bizarre angles—how could that not infuriate everyone?
Now that this very Riksia was getting helplessly pummeled by a thought entity rather than a player, nothing could be more satisfying.
-Beating Riksia like this with a Honryeongsa
-Wow kkkkkk is this even possible?
-Honryeongsa is OP
-She’s supposed to be the hardest to deal with normally kk
No one could have predicted this.
A well-developed Honryeongsa can command nearly an army, but true to the word’s connotation, the playstyle is slow and heavy.
It feels like advancing all at once in a medieval siege, overwhelming and claiming territory.
To contract with such an Avatar and thoroughly pummel a swift Avatar like Riksia.
“Ughhhh…!”
Thwack!
Crack!
Riksia still couldn’t escape, taking blows from hammers, blades, and kicks.
But the enemies didn’t simply give up.
After all, it was still one against five.
[Brother! Behind!]
Danmuji cried out urgently.
The core of a Honryeongsa’s strength was indeed Thought Entity control.
But even if one excelled at it, the fundamental weakness didn’t disappear.
The main body.
All power was concentrated outside the main body, and since the body had no movement skills and was slow, it became vulnerable once struck.
So one enemy risked everything, forcing through the gaps between Thought Entities to target my back.
“Die!”
The enemy charged with a spear.
[Charge]
Or rather, was about to charge.
Boom!
Already knocked backward.
“!?”
A Rune Spirit wave.
Even with low damage, it had the ‘knockback’ ability that forced enemies backward regardless.
In other words, the charge was negated.
‘When…?’
Almond had already read that they were targeting my back.
But the strange thing was I didn’t even see the motion of casting the Rune Spirit wave.
‘When exactly did I fire it—’
──Boom!
The wave struck my face once more, and my head snapped backward.
Only then did I realize.
‘Insane… what is this!?’
Countless green-glowing Rune Spirit waves circled endlessly through the air.
Like a flock of crows waiting for a dying animal.
‘You’re… controlling all of these!?’
A Rune Spirit wave, once fired, had an incredibly long duration.
Using this, I’d fire them in advance and spin them around, deploying them as needed.
This was actually a technique only masters among those who wielded Melly could manage.
Even masters made mistakes when handling Thought Entities, no matter what.
Boom!
“Euk!”
The spirit’s wavelength he commanded was flawless, without a single mistake.
Boom!
Boom!
I struck the enemy attempting an ambush with precision, continuing to drive them back.
Then two thought entities came rushing in.
“Ugh!?”
Shhwaaak!
Both split simultaneously left and right, drawing their blades.
The spear-wielder’s health was completely depleted.
[Foolish Youth has eliminated an enemy!]
[Foolish Youth ─> Karoro]
The first death in this one-versus-five battle.
From that point on, it was a cascade.
Boom!
The ranged thought entities began eliminating enemies one by one—those who weren’t contractors.
[Foolish Youth Double Kill!]
[Foolish Youth ─> Toke]
-Wow
-Insane
-No way he wins this?
-A 1v5? kkk
Even if four of the five weren’t contractors.
The number one-versus-five was absolute.
Yet Almond continued racking up kills.
[Foolish Youth Triple Kill!]
Three down.
[Foolish Youth Quadra Kill!]
Four down.
“Ugh!”
Finally, Riksia kept fleeing and fleeing until she was caught by the pursuing spirit’s wavelength.
[Foolish Youth Penta Kill!]
-So pathetic lol
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-Wow
-Lmao kkk
-Destroyed them lol
-Insane
Almond’s Honryeongsa, making a rare appearance, was utterly overwhelming.
[Foolish Youth is dominating the battlefield!]
After defeating all the enemies that way.
Almond’s reaction was extraordinarily unusual.
He didn’t shout things like “orders?” or anything of the sort.
‘How is this working?’
He tilted his head in confusion.
Danmuji was the same.
‘How is this working?’
The two of them arrived at exactly the same thought for completely different reasons.
After that, all the teammates who had become Rune Spirits were revived.
Whoosh!
They rushed toward Almond while cheering.
“Yaaaaaay!”
“We believed in you! Foolish one!”
“We only believed in the foolish one~!”
-Foolish one kkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkkkkkLemon kkk
-He’s definitely foolish when you think about it
You’re so dumb lol
Hahahahaha crazy hahahaha
After this, the Knight Order team consumed the buffs Turtle provided and even the enemy’s Rune boxes, progressing through the game at a remarkably fast pace.
“Let’s go this way. Right now, there’s no team as fast as us. If we meet anyone, we’ll definitely engage and drag it out.”
Danmuji was certainly a master at securing victory when his team was winning.
He knew exactly how strong his team was in any given situation, and when they were weak.
‘When to fight whom and win… he knows it so well.’
Almond also marveled at his certain predictions.
[1st Place]
Thus, Danmuji’s first evaluation match under his orders concluded in 1st place.
“Yaaaaaay!”
“We won!”
“This is it!”
Since the previous match had been last place, the entire Knight Order cheered.
Only one person’s expression was ambiguous.
He was cheering, but something felt hollow about it.
‘This isn’t right.’
Almond had believed that if they went with Danmuji’s orders alone, eventually Danmuji would also enter the Chamber of Truth.
He had decided never to judge for himself, only to follow Danmuji’s words.
Yet despite that, he had created 1st place with his own hands—he was confused by the irony.
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won.]
[Slowly, Almond who’s like a frog sous vide gets my vote~]
I can’t translate this – it appears to be gibberish or corrupted text with no meaningful Korean words, just random characters and repeated laughter symbols (ㅋㅋㅋ).
-Danmuji seems to be turning up the heat
-kkkkk for real
-ahahaha kkk
-Danmuji is cooking~
-So by the third round the water’s boiling? kkkkk
-Oh the princess is Jjin kkk
Ding.
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 2,000 won.]
[Actually it’s already medium rare~]
His longtime viewers could see all too clearly how the Foolish Youth’s fate would end.
-kkkkkkk
-ahahhhh kkkkk
-He was already dead
-Yeah Ttok-cheong’s done for kkkkk
Haha, that’s hilarious!
-Gaji-bokkeun kkk
-Is Gaji-bokkeun’s younger sibling’s steak getting stolen too?
-ahahh kk
“…Ahem.”
Almond cleared his throat.
Then countered with facts.
“I did get first place once, everyone.”
-kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
An unwavering spirit that never gives up
-Wow
-Well that’s true kkkkk
-Yeah kkk
“I’ll go with loss-win-win.”
-Insane kkkkkkkkkkk
I cannot provide a reliable translation for this text. The input appears to be Korean characters that don’t form coherent words or standard Korean text.
-Wait, didn’t you just win? Teacher?
Hahahahahahaha
-Now openly admitting defeat kkk
-His brain’s cooked now for real kkkkk
Almond misspoke.
“Ah… No, I meant win-loss-loss.”
-That’s still a problem kkkkkkk
-kkkkkk
-Why are you going with loss-loss
-It’s frog sous vide so you’re going with loss-loss, right?
It would have sounded strange no matter how I explained it.
‘No matter what I say, I sound like a troll.’
Almond had realized it too.
He’d somehow backed himself into a corner.
Perhaps he was the frog being slowly boiled in water.
‘I have to win…!’
He opened his eyes wide and proceeded to the next game.
[1st Place]
[1st Place]
In the end, he finished everything in first place.
“….”
-kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkk
-So this is a loss loss loss situation, right?
-Insane kkkkk
-He’s so good lol
-Kyaa Foolish Youth Carry (meaning Foolish Youth carrying, definitely not a foolish carry lol)
“Yaaaaaaay!”
Danmuji threw both arms open to celebrate the victory. The Knight Order did the same.
“We’re free!”
It was the moment of true liberation from the Ttok-cheong Stronghold.
