The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 185
57. The Enemy’s Counterattack (3)
Gamtwe, the Streamer of Paprika Team.
He had once suffered humiliation at the hands of Almond at Gstar.
‘Revenge….’
So he had always dreamed of it.
The day he would take revenge on Almond.
‘Perhaps that day is today.’
Click.
Gamtwe loaded his gun with a resolute expression.
‘I’m a dealer too.’
Was it fate?
He too was a dealer, and had been assigned to the same Team B.
Last time, he hadn’t properly faced Almond and had lost, but this time would be different.
Because they had a strategy this time.
“Alright! Let’s go! Intercept them!”
At Gamtwe’s shout, his teammates rushed forward in a surge.
“Waaaaaah!”
Cheese’s team came into view.
Six of them.
They were one short, but it didn’t matter.
They had no intention of fighting all six anyway.
“Can you see who it is!?”
“Yes! Dotorimuk!”
“Dotorimuk! Everyone remember!”
It was clear who they would fight, who they would kill.
The priority was clear and simple.
“Charge in!”
“Waaaaaah!”
The shield and spear players charged in recklessly.
It was so reckless they risked death.
“What are these guys. Kill them!”
“Thanks for the easy kill~!”
The Agricultural Cooperative members were slaughtering them, wondering what was happening.
But they ignored all the other members and simply beat down one person.
Thud!
“Ugh!?”
At first, he thought it was just one hit.
Bang!
“Wha…?”
Two guns? What’s that about?
‘I’m a Tank, aren’t I?’
Dotorimuk sensed something was off.
When I raise my shield, I normally don’t die easily in the early game.
Why are they deliberately targeting me?
‘This is….’
The enemy’s recklessness defied all common sense.
“Fire away!”
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Two guns fired continuously at Dotorimuk alone.
[Headshot!]
Beyond the Headshot passive, once reaching level 3, I could use skills like this.
[Snipe]
[When striking the opponent’s vital point from maximum distance, physical penetration +30, damage doubled. Cooldown 7 seconds.]
It was a bit difficult to trigger, though.
“Hold them down!”
[Shield Slam]
Thud!
If I could stun the opponent with a technique like that, things would be different.
“Damn it! Get them off me!”
Dotorimuk grasped the situation, but it was too late.
Setchu-ga’s Tank had completely latched onto Dotorimuk.
“You’re willing to die too!?”
That Tank was willing to die as well.
“Yeah!”
But it didn’t matter.
The Tank screamed with wild eyes.
“Paprika! Youth is now!”
This team….
Their fighting spirit was incredible.
What, paprika is youth? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Haha, damn it
Haha, what?
-Is it like a battle cry from when Mad Max guys die?
lol
“Jello! Jello! Can you hear me!?”
Dotorimuk quickly realized I needed to report this situation.
Once dead, I wouldn’t be able to communicate.

* * *
Gamtwe closed one eye and pulled the trigger.
“…Your sacrifice. It was not in vain.”
Crack!
The bullet that struck at the far edge of range activated the [Snipe] condition.
[Gamtwe → Dotorimuk]
Dotorimuk’s health vanished, and he became a Rune Spirit.
“…Ah, damn it! What do we do!?”
-lol
-Are they deliberately targeting the radio operator?
-kkk
-What now
-Whoa Dotorimuk’s dead??
The Agricultural Cooperative was in crisis.
“No no no! Listen here, Dotorimuk! Wake up! You were such a fine radio operator!”
Doughnutz quickly swung his shield, crushing the enemy tank that had killed Dotorimuk.
Boom!
“Die! This is Dotorimuk’s revenge!”
[Doughnutz → Calamari Ring]
Poof!
Calamari Ring became a Rune Spirit and immediately began sprinting frantically toward his allies.
Bounce! Bounce!
The spear user ‘Cheese Stick’ who had charged alongside him scooped him up and ran.
“Ring buddy! You’re just carrying his head!”
-Kekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekekekek
-Lol looks like he’s just carrying the neck kkk
The round Rune Spirit faintly reflected the user’s face, making it look like just a head bouncing around.
[Charge]
Cheese Stick used the Charge skill in reverse to escape.
Whoooosh!
Ppulranem shouted angrily from behind.
“Damn it, chase them!”
“Ah, we can’t!”
Doughnutz stopped him.
“…The situation over there isn’t good.”
“What do you mean…?”
“The team fight formation is completely unfavorable! Both their ADCs are positioned behind a rock aiming at us. If we engage first, even with one more person, we’ll take massive damage.”
“D-damn it!? We have one more person! How does that make sense, sis!?”
“There’s nothing we can do. They’re level 3.”
The battle formation itself was disadvantageous, and on top of that, there was a level gap.
The Tank who just died and the Spear wielder were both level 3.
That’s why Dotorimuk died much sooner, while one Spear wielder managed to survive.
“So what do we do? Now…? We can’t even communicate?”
Doughnutz also had no idea what to do.
At this rate, we’d have no choice but to fend for ourselves.
“We should probably give up on Turtle and switch to Octopus…. First, the living need to stay alive.”
At those words, the Rune Spirit below bounces frantically.
‘Me!? Take me too! Take me too!’
Agricultural Cooperative can’t hear this.

* * *
The Caster cries out in shock at the kill log.
“Whoa whoa whoa!? P-Balloon Gum is dead! Dotorimuk is dead too!? And then Paprika’s Calamari Ring became a Rune Spirit.”
It was an exchange so fast the camera almost missed it.
So a replay comes up.
“Ah, there seems to have been an exchange?”
King Gul’s eyes twitch.
“It was an exchange, but….”
It wasn’t an equal exchange.
“Dotorimuk can’t revive right now! But the other side can revive!? The deal is tilted to one side!”
-Gasp
-Right
-That’s true
-Yeah that’s right
-Seriously
-Oof
-So they’re just fighting ready to die lol
“Dotorimuk’s life is worth much more! This is Cheese’s loss! Paprika, on the other hand, is fighting incredibly strategically!”
That’s when it happened.
Suddenly the live feed switches again.
This time, the Magical Girl Team.
“While King Gul is explaining! Chocosong is being chased too!”
Followed by a battle scene targeting Chocosong.
“Chocosong is also Motmotmot, right!? It’s a Radio!”
-Gasp
-Oof
-It’s over;
Ah, so that’s what you were aiming for ㅠㅠ
“Before it was two guns against one staff! This time it’s one gun against two staffs! And there’s even an Assassin!”
It depends on how the contract is structured, but for now, it’s an extremely dealer-heavy composition.
And most of them are ranged.
“It seems like they’re willing to die! Because their lives aren’t worth the same!”
“The Assassin just now seemed to charge in prepared to die. Yes. But she survived because her pure stats are so good.”
“Chocosong too….”
Chocosong hastily retreated backward.
“At least she survived!”
“Ah, unlike Balloon Gum and Dotorimuk who died earlier, it seems she survived because she’s not a Tank!”
Chocosong was originally in a rear position, and she knocked back the enemies with wind magic to shake them off.
After that, the other players from the Magic Girl team protected her well.
“The Magic Girl team is holding the line! For now!”
“She did survive, but…! Paprika has another one here! A different Paprika team is blocking the escape route!?”
But survival was short-lived.
Another team targeted Chocosong from behind.
-Yikes
-They’re relentless
-Wow, they really cornered her?
-Damn
-Something feels off this time
-Chocosong startled kkk
“Paprika! I thought you were trying to avoid early fighting!?”
Paprika avoided early fighting at the very start, but she didn’t dislike early fighting itself.
“Once we hit level 3, we push aggressively!”
She was simply waiting for the right timing.
“Ah… Cheese is completely being dragged around. Cheese couldn’t fight when she wanted to, but Paprika fights whenever she wants.”
The Analyst adjusts his Red Glasses and adds his commentary.
“What!? Why couldn’t Cheese fight when she wanted to, but Paprika can!?”
In Ril, it’s extremely important to engage in fights at the right timing when you want to fight.
In this match, Paprika was strategically excellent in that regard.
“This is a tactic utilizing the objective—the Turtle’s existence is the reason.”
“Ahhhhh…!”
If everyone shares the same objective, they have no choice but to meet.
Even in a game like Survival Mode where it’s hard to even find enemies, at the objective, it’s practically a full player meetup.
Paprika, who has been strategically designed to become inevitably stronger at this timing, is gaining a huge advantage.
“At this point, they have no choice but to meet. And that’s when Paprika, who has almost everyone at level 3, has the advantage.”
That’s why people say the ladder gets kicked out at Turtle timing.
Level 3 players can do overwhelmingly more than level 2 players.
“Ah! Just as you said, Paprika! The Turtle doesn’t even matter! She’s using the Turtle to apply pressure on the opponents again!”
“The Turtle is just a hostage!?”
Paprika is conducting guerrilla warfare in multiple locations.
Cheese was shaken.
Even with communication, when battles erupted from all directions like this, it was difficult to keep track.
“Right now, even Hamburgies and Nonghyup & Partners don’t have radios!”
Cheese was in a situation where two out of the four teams had lost radio contact.
“If that’s the case, Cheese should probably jam Paprika’s radio too….”
King Gul, trying to offer a solution from the losing team’s perspective, suddenly slapped his forehead.
“No, how is this even possible!?”
“What’s wrong!?”
“Why… now I understand why they insisted on five.”
Only now could he understand why Paprika had formed their radio squad with five members.
“Pardon? The five members—isn’t that to secure first turn through early level-up?”
Securing first turn.
This meant taking the initiative in attacks.
If levels rose even slightly faster, that small time difference allowed continuous harassment by moving ahead of the opponent.
This was called “securing first turn.”
“It’s not just first turn.”
But Paprika’s five-member strategy had reasons beyond securing first turn.
“They’re hiding their own radios.”
They were concealing the fact that they were using radio strategy.
“Cheese doesn’t even know Paprika is using radios right now!”
“!”
-no way
-gasp
-no way
-what
-really???
-that’s it;
That’s crazy lol, you’re right
It was understandable.
With five members on each side, nicknames weren’t easily visible unless you got close.
“Bird, now that I think about it, they couldn’t possibly know!”
The Caster was shocked too.
Even the commentators looking down from above had made mistakes at first.
What about the players watching from a first-person perspective?
“Yes. So Cheese can only suffer! Not even knowing the opponent has radios! While the opponent only targets their own radios!”
“Ah, it’s completely one-sided!? And now they’re heading to the Sanctuary of Resurrection to intercept! Trying to prevent resurrections!”
The Motmotmot team needed the Sanctuary of Resurrection as a near-necessity to resurrect.
They couldn’t individually collect and resurrect the Rune Spirits scattered across every team.
Paprika was intercepting that.
-wow that’s brutal
-Kekekeke, got ’em! Moldy bastards kekeke
-Kyaa
That’s insane lol
-This is it lol
-Ah, unbelievable
-Is this real???
In the end, it seemed like Turtle wouldn’t be properly taken down by either team.
[Shadow of the Abyss descends!]
Time passed as the shadow covered everything, and Turtle vanished into the darkness.
“Aah! The shadow is covering them…! Both Turtles just disappear into the Abyss!”
In the end, only two of the spawned Turtles remained.
That’s when it happened.
The screen changed.
“Wh-what!?”
A place no one had been paying attention to.
Someone was hunting the Turtle there.
The camera zoomed in on the ID.
[Foolish Youth]
It was Almond.
“Foolish Youth! Hunting Turtle!”
-Foolish Youth kekekekeke
Our hope, you stupid young man ㅜㅜ
-The ID is hilarious kekekeke
-Foolish! Foolish! Foolish!
Besides Almond, Mosol and Lemon were also struggling hard.
Mosol was even standing in front with a sword instead of a shield, toying with Turtle as much as possible.
“D-can just three people do this!?”
“Wow, Mosol! You’re completely controlling Turtle’s aggro!? Truly the god of grappling techniques!”
He moved back and forth right at the line where Turtle was deciding whether to attack him or not, keeping Turtle in constant combat.
While doing so, he gave his ally dealers the perfect angles to deal damage.
This is called ‘resh’.
“Mosol is doing hard resh!”
-Wow
-He’s pretty good lol
-He’s barely getting hit
-Show us that resh control
-With a technique like this, and it’s Mosol…
“The other split teams are coming too! But they’re still a bit far away!”
The Danmuji Team was at a distance, but continuing to rush forward.
However─
“Ah!? Paprika! The entire Paprika team is approaching!?”
“But we completely failed to anticipate this! There’s a Knight Order here! Only one team is coming!”
Paprika was conducting simple reconnaissance or something. Only one team was approaching.
“But this one team arriving will be faster than Danmuji’s side!?”
The problem was that this team numbered five, while my side had exactly three.
On top of that, they were already engaged in combat with Turtle.
