The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 127
45. Descent (1)
〔Once you reach level 6 on the battlefield, you can learn Descent.〕
At level 6, I could learn Descent.
Descent was the most powerful skill a contractor could use.
Which meant if I alone had reached level 6 unilaterally, this was the moment I should gain the most advantage.
〔Right now, you’re the only level 6 contractor among all contractors. At this point, you won’t lose to anyone, will you? You’re truly my contractor.〕
-Wait, isn’t Reina bugged?
-Her tone is legit not bugged?
Why are you suddenly changing your attitude so drastically?ㅋㅋ
-Did Reina’s soul get switched or something?
-Sister! You never talked to me like that! What’s going on? Huh? I even bought you the costume skin!
-Reina really got hit by a truck and transported to another world. Anyway, that’s it. This isn’t my Reina.
Reyna has face recognition function~~ Please lower the shutter~~ㅎㅎ
-That just means she shoots really well~
-That’s… disappointing. Miss Reina.
Reina’s current demeanor had crossed the line from familiarity into something almost flirtatious.
Some viewers erupted in frustration at her behavior. They were probably Reina’s fans. Reina had a solid fanbase thanks to her distinctively cold personality and the elegant beauty that matched it.
The funny thing about them was that they never actually picked Reina in ranked matches.
“Everyone, please calm down. Good is good, right?”
Almond brushed it off casually and soothed the fans’ anger.
However, things couldn’t go as smoothly as he wished.
Ril was a team game.
Playing well alone didn’t guarantee the game would go well.
[Smebu Double Kill!]
[Enemy is on a rampage!]
An ally in the top lane had died.
It was that thug who’d started trouble at the beginning. His friend, the Jungler, died with him.
And it seemed he’d even gone to Mid Lane and thrown away his life.
[Smebu! Triple Kill!]
[Enemy is going berserk!]
A triple kill.
The game was falling apart.
If only the top and Jungle had died, it might have been manageable.
But now Mid Lane was empty, and the enemy could destroy our Mid tower.
‘I know the Mid tower is incredibly important….’
Only Almond and his Supporter could stop them.
〔Let’s go to Mid. If that gets taken, the game becomes too disadvantageous. We have to defend it.〕
Reina suggested the same thing. Almond nodded and spoke to his Supporter.
“Let’s go Mid.”
“Yes.”
This was a stroke of great fortune for the enemy bottom duo—the Ppokjujok and the Necromancer.
“Damn it…! That bastard must’ve gone to Mid Lane.”
Paul, the Ppokjujok who had returned to the bottom lane, expressed his relief openly.
One might have found it amusing to see such a burly, blonde thug relaxing like that, but the Necromancer beside him paid it no mind. He simply agreed wholeheartedly with his ally’s sentiment.
“Phew~ Thank goodness. Let those Top, Jungle, and Mid bastards get a taste of that relentless Reina!”
“But knowing how it goes, they’ll probably blame us for their own mistakes rolling downhill…”
“…Tch.”
The two scratched their heads with vacant expressions for a moment. After that, they simply focused on farming by slaying soldiers.
They needed to farm diligently now so their levels would catch up.
“But…do you think we’ll lose this game?”
“Never! You know our top Valkyrie? She’s the most relentless one in the current meta! She got a triple kill—there’s no way we’re losing.”
“Ah, the Valkyrie. Her tier rank has been pretty high lately.”
“It’s not just high—that bitch is the daughter of the Ril Developer! Dirtier than my Toad…She’d be permanently banned if this were ranked.”

* * *
Reina’s descent is powerful, but the conditions are demanding.
To summon her, I need to fill “Marksman’s Pride” to exactly 100 stacks.
Marksman’s Pride generates 1 stack each time I land 4 or more consecutive hits on a target, and if that target is a contractor, it accumulates 10 stacks.
So theoretically, if I land 14 consecutive hits on a contractor, I can use the descent immediately.
‘It would be nice if the stacks were already built up.’
Upon arriving at Mid Lane, I clicked my tongue in frustration.
Having killed the bottom duo twice already, the stacks should have naturally exceeded 100 by now.
〔I can’t descend yet. Fill my pride completely.〕
The current pride count was 0.
Strangely, Reina’s pride only begins accumulating after learning the descent skill.
Even in such small details, one can find the reason for Reina’s poor performance evaluation.
It’s not that her performance is genuinely lacking—it’s that her performance is simply too difficult to utilize.
Ril itself isn’t in its right mind for recommending such an avatar in the tutorial. But what’s equally not in its right mind is the enemy mid-laner standing before me now.
[TO MID LANE]
[ELECTROMANCER – KAIZARD]
[Lv.5]
He spoke with a sneer.
“What? Did you come to stop Mid Lane? Fat chance.”
Apparently thinking the distance was sufficient, he slowly last-hit soldiers while continuing to speak.
“Don’t tell me you’re trying to stop me with Reina?”
A taunt that carried clearly even from a distance, thanks to the audio enhancement.
Since I hadn’t entered his attack range yet, I remained still.
“Go ahead and try to stop me.”
The enemy held crackling blue lightning in his hand and taunted me.
Crackle!
The thug was an avatar of the Electromancer class—Kaizard.
Meanwhile, his eyes kept scanning the thicket to the right.
Was someone hiding in that thicket?
“Warrior.”
The Supporter, sensing something amiss, offered advice to Almond.
“Warrior, you shouldn’t go in. The enemy Jungler is….”
We couldn’t pinpoint the enemy Jungler’s location.
If the enemy Jungler was in that thicket, a fragile Archer like me would be torn to shreds like paper.
The Supporter had little they could do in this situation.
All they could do was relay information and offer guidance to me.
“…Huh?”
However, the Supporter’s advice never reached Almond.
Thump—
Almond had already rolled forward.
[Spulight has registered a mission!]
[Wow! Kill that annoying bastard and get 50,000 won!]
It was because of this mission.
Hahaha! Capitalism rolling down!
Hahahaha
“Crazy, not worrying about it at all haha”
-What? A mission? He rolls.
-This streamer rolls for 50,000 won!
“W-Warrior!?”
The Supporter, unaware of the situation, was flustered.
The enemy laughed at the sight.
‘Got him!’
He pressed his thumb to the center of his palm, creating a recognition gesture.
[Electrical Explosion]
Blue lightning bloomed from his hand.
Crackle—!
The blue lightning wrapped around his entire body and surged upward, then crashed down to the ground in an instant, and blue electricity flowed along the floor like water.
Crackle, crackle, crackle….
Stepping on that would drain the opponent’s health and temporarily root them in place.
Once that happened, the Jungler rushing in from the right would finish him off.
“…?”
However, the thug was not struck by the electricity.
‘He was definitely rolling toward me?’
Instead, what came flying was an arrow.
The target at the center of his forehead burst.
Boom!
My skull rattled from the impact.
-Wow! Forward roll, backward roll lol
-The fake-out was insane
-Kaizard wins if we ignore skills
-Kyaa~
The Electromancer was flustered.
That thug clearly rolled forward, then backward while firing arrows.
Using the roll twice doesn’t stack the buff twice. He was just playing mind games to bait out my skill.
That speed, that judgment, and the concentration to hit targets with perfect accuracy.
All three elements aligned without a single error.
‘What’s his actual skill level?’
Only now did I recall the warnings from the bottom duo—Ppokjujok Paul and Necromancer Kuipan.
「That bastard is a monster!」
「You have to shut him down first?!」
‘Is he really that skilled?’
Whoosh!
As expected, arrows came flying in succession.
Clang…!
A dark shadow descended and blocked every single arrow.
“What! Why can’t I land a hit!”
The Hammer Warrior shouted with his back turned.
As I suspected, the Electromancer wasn’t alone.
-Ah. There was a Jungler after all lol
-That was an obvious provocation lol
-Damn
“Ah…”
Electromancer Kaizard regained his composure.
“S-sorry.”
We can win this.
If I focus and land my spells, if we coordinate with the Jungler, we can win.
Isn’t that obvious?
When Mid and Jungle face off against ADC and Support, Mid and Jungle have overwhelming advantage. Especially in the early game like this.
He quickly formed hand seals behind the Hammer Warrior and cast a different spell.
[Shock Wave]
Crackle!
In an instant, blue sparks shot forward in a straight line.
This time it was Shock Wave—targeting a distant opponent to slow them briefly.
“!?”
Tap.
The thug simply rolled away with ease to evade.
Then, as if I’d been waiting for this moment, I drew the bowstring.
Twang──
This angle was one the Hammer Warrior couldn’t block.
I had no idea when I’d rolled to such a position.
A blue arrow flew and pierced the solar plexus.
The blue target burst apart.
Boom!
Then another shot.
This time, the shoulder.
Crack!
This was the third hit.
Added to it was Reina’s mana explosion.
Kaboom!
Forty percent of her health vanished.
‘This… this can’t be real.’
Hitting targets while rolling and shooting? If I could do that, Reina would be tier-one material. Everyone would want to play Reina.
“Move! Let me finish this!”
The Jungler stepped forward. He lifted an enormous hammer high into the air.
A black shadow fell over Reina.
A blow laden with crushing weight shattered the earth.
Boom!!!
The ground rippled like water. Dust scattered in a haze.
Debris everywhere.
The surroundings blurred for a moment.
After the dust cleared.
“!?”
There was no trace of the enemy.
‘Where…’
Twang──
The sound of a bowstring being drawn came from directly behind.
Turning around, Reina stood within arm’s reach.
The Hammer Warrior was dumbfounded.
Unless his liver had literally burst from his body, how could anyone draw a bowstring right in front of a close-combat avatar?
With the thought of shoving that liver back in, he swung his massive hammer.
Whoosh!
A blow that would flatten me like a pancake if it connected.
But the hammer only cleaved through empty air.
Instead, a heavy weight was added to his arm.
Almond had mounted himself on top of the hammer.
The bowstring remained fully drawn.
In the dazed warrior’s pupils, my right hand quietly released the string.
Twang!
A blue arrow struck true, shattering the target hovering above his forehead.
The Hammer Warrior staggered and dropped his weapon.
“Insane…”
A warrior without his weapon proved far more helpless than expected.
He turned and fled.
Once he was far enough away, his weapon would return to him.
But the price of turning his back before Reina was devastating.
Boom-boom-boom!
The three targets on his back exploded in an instant.
Crash!
A mana explosion detonated.
The warrior stumbled forward, nearly falling.
Yet he continued running.
If he could just run far enough for his hammer to return, he’d have a chance. He had skills to deflect ranged attacks after all.
But my arrows showed no mercy.
Arrows flew in succession, each one tearing through the targets.
[Health has dropped below 30%!]
Despite being a tank, his health plummeted below thirty percent in mere moments.
Still, the warrior kept running.
‘This is a disaster.’
I had to admit it.
He was no match for me.
He sensed that the gank had failed.
Then.
Crackle!
Kaizard cast magic again.
Right. I wasn’t alone.
Hope flickered.
But it vanished just as quickly.
“Warrior!”
The enemy wasn’t alone either.
My Supporter raised a shield.
Boom──
The lightning couldn’t pierce the shield and dispersed into the air.
I remained focused on my barrage.
Three arrows fired in rapid succession.
Remarkably, my arrows weren’t aimed at the Hammer Warrior—they flew toward Kaizard instead.
“!?”
Kaizard had no time to react, naturally assuming I would target the Hammer Warrior who was clearly on death’s door.
‘Right… I don’t have health either.’
All three arrows found their mark, and the mana explosion detonated.
Boom!
Kaizard oxidized in cyan flames as if he had never existed in that spot.
[Mission Success!]
[Spulight has donated 50,000 won!]
-Damn, already dead
-The mission is basically Death Note. Can’t last 3 minutes once caught.
-Wow!!
-Oh… the mission duration status…
-There’s a room where you can become Light if you pay money?!
[The Reckless Warrior cannot be stopped!]
The bow that had claimed the Mid Lane now turned toward the Jungler.
Whoosh…!
Reina’s countless small targets rained down endlessly upon his body.
To the Jungler, it was as though the shadow of death itself had descended.
A hammer was now in his hands, but…
‘Damn it.’
He had to admit it.
There was no hope.
‘That one is better.’
Countless blue lights surged before his eyes, scorching his vision.
The accumulated damage from consecutive target combos and Reina’s chained mana explosions continued, and his solid health bar bottomed out…
[Master of the Battlefield! Reckless Warrior!]
Thud.
He finally fell.
‘Reckless Warrior… I’ll remember that.’
Unaware that the Reckless Warrior was actually an advertising nickname, he recalled it with reverence.
