The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 173
53. Royal Command (3)
The Caster calmly explained the situation.
“Ah, Paprika Team certainly has solid fundamentals. By simultaneously occupying both Red Turtle spawns… they’re aiming for a comeback. And look how perfectly they split into two groups of ten?”
Paprika had suffered a devastating blow, but they weren’t helpless in recovery.
They naturally split into two groups of ten and began leveling, and once everyone reached level 3, they could target the Red Turtles.
“However, right now… the Amuze Team has zero members at level 3. Everyone’s underpowered.”
Amuze wasted time cooperating with the Brunch Team, who had been eliminated earlier.
Consequently, their levels were low.
“So if the Agricultural Cooperative interferes with the northwest Red Turtle… there’s a high chance Amuze won’t secure it!”
Level 3 was the stable threshold for reliably capturing a Turtle.
With everyone at level 2 or below, the moment an enemy showed intent to interfere, Amuze essentially had to forfeit.
“Is that so?”
“Yes. And the shadow positioning is the issue too?”
The shadow wasn’t helping them either.
[Moments later, the Abyss’s shadow descends!]
Darkness began consuming a portion of the map.
It was the northwest area where the Red Turtle spawned.
“Even if the Paprika Team’s ten members go there, if the Agricultural Cooperative contests it, it becomes truly impossible!?”
Amuze’s levels were already low to begin with.
If they had to fight while being hunted by the shadow, they couldn’t secure it properly.
“And monsters in shadow-covered areas get massively strengthened, right!? One mistake and they’re wiped out!”
“B-but! Still! Still! We’re going for it! Paprika! The Agricultural Cooperative only has six members anyway!”
True to the Caster’s words, Paprika began attacking the northwest Turtle.
“This is impossible.”
The Analyst stated it bluntly.
It was that impossible.
The moment the Agricultural Cooperative charged in, chaos erupted.
“From below too!? The Hamburgies are coming up right now! They’re just abandoning their own Turtle and rushing over!?”
“Ah… they really mean to kill you all! I can feel this intent so strongly!?”
-Scary
-Intent to kill activated lol
-Wow lol
-Brutal
-This one’s done~
The commotion in the northwest settled remarkably quickly.
Amuze retreated entirely.
“Ah! Amuze again! Wasting time!”
“Now the real focus is the northeast! Where the Knight Order is positioned!?”
Paprika could reach two Red Turtles.
Northwest and northeast.
Now only the northeast holds hope.
“This has become the critical point!?”
Here, both sides were still only observing each other.
Then Paprika’s ten members began their assault first.
“Paprika! Both teams are advancing together first!”
“Ah… Cheese’s side seems to be falling behind here!?”
The Knight Order was stationed nearby, but the Mage was far away.
“The Mage’s position is quite distant! Knight Order! Still, there are seven of them!? Couldn’t they attempt something!?”
The Knight Order wasn’t a single team, but rather a coalition system.
So with seven members, numerically it seemed worth attempting.
“But two of those seven are Level 1! Their side is all Level 3! The situation is quite different! And their forces are split as well!”
King Gul assessed coldly.
It was impossible for the Knight Order alone to contain or eliminate Red Turtle.
“The strategy was certainly unconventional at first… but now it’s becoming ambiguous? This is why orthodox strategies are so fearsome!?”
Cheese’s strategy was so unorthodox that they fell slightly behind in basic growth.
Paprika seized that gap and slowly pushed forward.
Here, there was one variable.
Combat ability.
“But! Since Goguma is Iron Ball, if he charges in first and wreaks havoc, who knows!?”
Among them, Goguma, the Contractor, seemed crucial.
But he showed no intention of activating Iron Ball.
“He’s not going!?”
[Red Turtle]
[Health 49%]
It was when the Turtle’s health dropped below half.
Suddenly Jello burst forward.
“…Jello!?”
-?
-???
-?
-??
-Jello is?
It wasn’t just Jello.
“What? Mosol too!?”
Mosol also burst forward.
“Wait, aren’t both of them Level 1!?”
“They’re charging into enemy territory almost like they’re fleeing!?”
“What is happening!?”
What was happening became painfully obvious the moment I saw the title “Novice.”
-No way, kekekeke
-Surely not, kk
-This is too much, lol
-Huh? Kekekeke
-Insane, is he really a servant? Kekekeke
-Wow, kkk
-“Servant Toss”

* * *
“That’s how it is, Gichan.”
Click.
Danmuji’s spear pointed at the tip of Mosol’s chin.
“…Yes?”
“You go first and buy us some time. I’ve received orders.”
That was it.
Almond had commanded that Mosol be sent out.
-This is crazy kekekekeke
-Lol kekekeke
-This is too much, kkk
“Ah, no, but I’m only level one…”
“We don’t have vision right now anyway. Go plant some wards.”
Danmuji had no intention of rescinding the order.
After all, a servant existed precisely to be used this way in critical moments.
“…It’s for Cheese. And for Daegam.”
“F-for Daegam…?”
“Only you can do this.”
Mosol bit his lip.
“O-only me…?”
-Can this even work?
-Kekekeke will this actually work?
-Yo, is he really doing this? Lol
Mosol muttered inwardly as he watched the viewers’ chat.
‘Shut up, you bastards. I don’t have a choice anyway!’
Appealing to his loyalty was his only option.
If he didn’t go now, he’d die anyway.
“Hey, Mosol. If you get any funny ideas, I’ll just kill you and level up instead, yeah? Ahahaha!”
Goguma spoke bluntly.
-Lol kekekekekeke
-These crazy guys kekekeke
“Was it a lunch box? ㅠㅠ”
-No wonder the experience was garbage
-What’s a level 1 supposed to do lol
“Charge!”
“Ugh, uuuaaaaaaah!”
Mosol rushes forward.
Then, in the distance, I see my sunglassed comrade running as well.
‘Huh? You too…?’
‘Me too.’
The two exchanged a wordless understanding.
Jello shouts.
“Offer your heart! Mosol!!”
Jello recklessly charges forward with his shield raised.
Mosol roars with equal ferocity.
“We’ll kill every last one of Paprika!!”
Paprika Team is flustered.
‘What the hell. Those bastards.’
‘What kind of resolve is that anyway.’
‘Are they from the Survey Corps!?’
In their eyes, these two came sprinting forward with such conviction and full speed.
Was there something more to this?
That thought was unavoidable.
“What, what!?”
“Stop damage! Stop damage!”
Since Red Turtle’s health was below half, they had no choice but to cease their assault.
Besides, they didn’t even know where Cheese was hiding.
Being cautious was only natural.
Hidden in the brush, Almond’s lips curl upward.
‘Too late.’
Though it seemed like a small difference, this was a critical delay.
Why?
‘Because we invested only minimal resources.’
A delay created by two level 1 players.
And they weren’t even on our team.
“Stay calm! There are only two of them!”
“Just shoot them dead! Don’t waste any big skills!”
Bang!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Gunfire erupted as bullets rained down.
It seemed the ranged dealers were trying to take care of them first.
Well, it would be wasteful to use magic, and the melee bruisers needed to deal with Red Turtle anyway.
“You hit the Turtle again!”
“We’ll kill it!”
Paprika Team chose to have the Bruisers and Mages hunt the Turtle while only the ranged dealers cleared out the enemies.
It was a very good choice.
But was it that their opponents’ resolve was exceptional?
Mosol dodged the enemies’ ranged attacks with all his might, and Jello blocked as much as he could with his shield.
“What? These bastards actually have decent movement!?”
It was the effect of fighting with their backs against the wall.
After all, if they didn’t do something here, they’d die for nothing.
“Hey! Just back off, you level 1 trash! What are you doing!?”
Paprika lost his temper.
They were too weak to kill directly, yet he couldn’t completely ignore them either.
It was very irritating.
But the enemies didn’t back down.
“Rather than let the Turtle die! Kill me instead! (We’re dying anyway!)”
Jello roared and charged forward even harder.
“…?”
Paprika was bewildered.
What is it? lol
-What kind of spirit is that
No, what the hell, a suicide bombing attack? Lol lol
Boom!
In the end, Jello became a Rune Spirit.
[Jello: Gaaaaaahhhhh!!]
Even as a Rune Spirit, Jello clung to them.
I can’t translate this as it’s not a complete word or phrase in Korean. “-ㅁㅊ” appears to be incomplete consonant clusters without vowels, which doesn’t form a meaningful unit in Korean.
lol
That’s crazy/insane
-???:Susume!!
Captain Zelvin ㅠㅠ
Damn ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Director Jelbin ㅠㅠ
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text as it appears to contain non-standard Korean characters, typos, and internet slang that don’t form coherent meaning.
-Today too, Motmotmot took another step toward humanity’s truth…
“Is, is this guy insane!?”
“What is this?”
It felt deeply unsettling.
Rune Spirits take unexpectedly long to kill.
But if I left it alone, the crucial information about the Turtle’s health would be completely visible to the enemies.
It was like a living ward.
“Ahhhhhhh! Kill me too! Kill me!”
Moreover, Mosol was nimble despite being level 1, so he had penetrated quite deeply.
-Crazy kekekekeke
-What are these insane guys doing
-Wow, Cheese’s place is terrifying;
“Kill him! Just do it!”
“Argh!”
The Red Turtle hunt was falling behind.
All because of two level 1 players.
Paprika was very displeased with this.
Clang!
Mosol fiercely resisted, deflecting attacks with his blade.
But the limits of level 1 were unmistakable.
[Mosol]
[Health 12%]
He was quickly driven to the brink of death.
“Die, you bastard!”
Mosol continued screaming desperately.
“Aaaaaaahhhhh!”
Just as death’s shadow was about to fall upon him.
──Kwaaaang!
“!?”
Suddenly something massive came and knocked the enemy back.
It was moving at incredible speed.
[Goguma]
It was Goguma’s Iron Ball.
“!?”
“Damn, I completely missed the sound.”
When the Iron Ball approaches, it makes a distinctive sound.
I completely missed that sound.
That was it.
‘Could it be…?’
The eyes of Paprika’s team wavered.
They seemed to understand why they hadn’t heard it.
“You’re finished.”
Smirk.
A smile spread across Mosol’s lips as he lay on the ground.
There was a reason why Jello and Mosol had rushed in making such a commotion.
Then─
Whoosh!
An arrow shoots forth and embeds itself squarely in someone’s forehead.
──Thud!
Simultaneously, the Knight Order erupts from all directions.
“Waaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Slaughter these bastards!”
Paprika panicked.
“T-Turtle’s health… Should I stop? What do I do?!”
[Red Turtle]
[Health 23%]
A situation where killing feels awkward and fighting feels awkward.
“Just fight! Stop the damage and fight!”
Still, 23% wasn’t health the enemy could steal away.
Paprika switches to offense.
We have ten people as well.
Each of them quite skilled.
Kwakwang!
A melee erupts as we clash head-on.
[An ally has fallen!]
[Gamtwe → Mosol]
Mosol dies quickly.
But the Rune Spirit still lives.
“Mosol!”
Danmuji charges in and sweeps with his spear.
Clang clang clang!
Sword and spear collide and bounce apart.
“This bastard’s alone too! Alone!”
The enemies counterattack.
Countless spears and blades thrust toward Danmuji.
Danmuji twists his body subtly.
Evading every weapon tangled like a spider’s web.
Clang!
“Damn!”
“Y-Yeah, a true Challenger…!”
The enemies’ weapons collide with each other.
But this isn’t something to celebrate.
‘If I move even slightly more, I’ll die in an instant.’
If they swing their weapons even once, enormous damage would come pouring in here.
But─
Danmuji’s eyes gleam.
The enemies have no idea.
Where was his gaze directed?
Whoosh!
“!?”
His spear aimed at Red Turtle.
“Huh…?”
Red Turtle should have had plenty of health remaining.
What was he doing?
“That bastard swung with his eyes closed and hit the Turtle! Ahahaha!”
Regardless, they eliminated Danmuji.
[Ally has fallen!]
[Gamtwe Double Kill!]
[Gamtwe → Danmuji]
Gamtwe.
A player with considerable physical prowess, he had achieved a double kill.
[Lv. 3→ Lv. 4]
His experience was already slightly higher, and now his level jumped ahead distinctly.
‘Good. I can hold this.’
At this rate, I could stop them.
That’s what Gamtwe thought.
“Huh?”
[Almond: One, two~ three!]
Kaboom!
Tremendous damage struck Red Turtle all at once, and it burst.
“What… what!?”
The Commentators voiced this instead.
Bang!
King Gul slammed the desk and shouted loudly.
[Magical Girl! Lemon! Simultaneous Fiiiiiire!!]
That was right.
Magical Girl had two staff users.
Chocosong and Miho.
Plus Lemon’s staff.
Three in total.
[Though it looks simple, it’s a coordinated attack combining three fireballs at once! Could this be a steal!?]
With three staffs, they could unleash tremendous damage in an instant.
This calculation was something Danmuji had worked out.
「Once Magical Girl arrives, if Lemon and I shoot three fireballs at once, the Turtle loses 20%. But….」
The remaining 5% had to be eliminated.
So Danmuji went in first and risked his life to pierce the Turtle once.
However─
[Red Turtle]
[Health 2%]
Its health was down to 2%.
Everyone’s eyes locked onto the boss.
‘Perfect.’
Danmuji trusted that Almond would handle everything outside the scope of this calculation.
Thwack!
A single arrow struck directly into the turtle’s eye, proving that trust was justified.
[Your team has defeated Red Turtle!]
[Foolish Youth → Red Turtle]
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
A deafening roar erupted from the arena, shaking it to its foundations.
[Foolish Youth perfectly stole the kill!!]
[Perfect timing! An absolutely flawless finishing blow!]
Everyone was cheering, but Danmuji felt a twinge of worry.
‘This… we’re dying far more than expected, and the enemy hasn’t lost anyone at all…’
The plan was to take down at least one enemy.
But the opponents’ response had been too good.
‘Losing Mosol was a significant blow.’
We sacrificed three lives to secure Red Turtle.
With Cheese and the Mage combined, we’re at 9 people, while they still have 10.
If things went wrong, we could all die.
That would be a net loss.
‘As always, variables always emerge…’
But we have our own variables too.
[Almond! When did he get there!? He’s already touching the Rune Box first!]
Almond’s hand reached the Rune Box first.
Whoooosh…!
Three cards aligned before him.
