The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 199
67. The Challenger’s Wall (3)
The Supporter died far too early.
‘For now, I’ll play as if I’m facing a Challenger.’
I had no choice but to acknowledge that my opponent’s skill was formidable. That kill angle from moments ago—even Challenger Hong-cha hadn’t caught it in time.
Hong-cha could feel that all the rumors about Almond were true, without needing to verify them one by one.
‘What do I do now?’
Hong-cha’s eyes darted back and forth as she assessed the next situation.
[Sorry, sis! I’m coming right now!]
Lemon had respawned and was rushing over.
It would probably take about 15 seconds to arrive.
In reality, 15 seconds meant nothing, but in League, 15 seconds was enough time to flip the game’s momentum twice over.
‘I need to hold on as long as possible.’
I had to endure their relentless assault during that time.
I couldn’t let them attack the tower and retreat.
Almond and Taco were pushing the lane forward with the same momentum as before.
Especially Almond—his positioning was even further forward than the Minions, as if ready to kill Hong-cha at any moment.
Despite his menacing position, Hong-cha didn’t back away.
Crackle…!
White mana took the form of a musket rifle.
A form chosen thanks to childhood memories of hunting with my Father.
Click.
She gripped the rifle that fit perfectly in her hands and aimed at Almond.
Boom!!
White mana tore through the air, and Almond ducked behind a Minion.
Bang!
Only an innocent Minion collapsed to the ground.
From behind the falling corpse, Almond’s arrow flew toward her.
Hong-cha tilted her head and dodged it lightly.
-Wow!
-Insane
Is this a Challenger!? Wow!
But the next volley couldn’t be dodged so easily.
Whoosh!
‘How is his fire rate this fast?’
The arrow that followed immediately after aimed straight for her torso.
Thud!
Hong-cha pushed off hard with her feet, bursting forward with sudden acceleration. The arrow slipped between frames.
The viewers gasped at the consecutive dodges.
-Is this frame-skipping? Wow
-Almond was doing the same thing earlier
-Wow, grappling techniques lol
However, there were limits to evading with grappling techniques. Another arrow flew toward me.
Thwack!
I took a direct hit.
The target burst.
‘What?’
The arrow flew as if she had anticipated I would dodge to the left.
Another one was coming.
Thwack!
After taking one hit, taking two more was easy.
[Mana Exposure]
Boom!
Blue flames erupted from my body.
‘What is this? How can a bow fire this rapidly?’
[Health 65%]
Combined with the damage I’d taken earlier, nearly half my health was gone.
Yet that didn’t put her at a disadvantage.
‘The tower!’
Whirrrr…!
The tower’s head rotated. It had switched its targeting to Almond.
The tower’s attacks had slight homing capability, making them difficult to evade.
Boom!
Almond dodged the first shot.
Boom!
But the second one hit. He was sent flying backward.
The tower unleashed additional fire at the flying Almond.
Boom!
Smoke engulfed his form.
[Health 55%]
Almond’s health dropped to nearly half.
Once the tower began attacking, it was more powerful than any avatar.
Almond eventually gave up on killing Hong-cha and retreated.
A look of regret crossed his face.
At the same time, Hong-cha’s expression brightened.
‘Phew. I held the line.’
She spoke into the voice channel.
[Hey. Jungler.]
[Yes?]
[Come here.]

* * *
“Ah. It’s hard to catch them when they’re hugging the tower.”
Almond muttered with regret.
-Rubisword : Phew~
Hahahaha lol
-500,000 won scam
“Finally a major sponsor, lol”
Well, catching a Challenger is worth 500,000 won.
[Mission]
[Challenger Kill]
[500,000 won]
My opponent was indeed a Challenger. They were strictly adhering to the fundamental rule of an ADC: “Never die.”
Taco approached and offered advice.
“You don’t need to kill the enemy ADC. What did I say Rift is about?”
“Destroying towers.”
“Exactly.”
-Lol is this kindergarten?
-Rift kindergarten entry!
-Mom! When do I get to go to Big Kindergarten!? Mom! When do I get to go to Big Kindergarten!? Mom! When do I get to go to Big Kindergarten!?
Hahaha, Almond’s answers are so good. How much did you brainwash them?
-Answer reaction speed physicals crushed…!
‘Still, it’s a shame.’
Almond still seemed reluctant. I kept observing, searching for any way to catch Hong-cha.
In that brief moment of deliberation.
Something approached from behind.
“Aaaah!”
“Ugh!”
Swoooosh!
A crimson streak swept across the minions.
Thud!
At the end of that streak was an axe, stained blood-red.
‘An Axe Warrior?’
The enemy Jungler had appeared.
They emerged from far back, and I hadn’t noticed. The enemy Jungler was blocking my escape route.
‘Was I trying to kill Hong-cha for nothing… and this happened?’
Hong-cha was deliberately buying time.
Which meant….
“Get them all, crush them!”
Hong-cha, who had been running away, suddenly turned around and charged back toward me.
With Supporter Lemon by my side.
A musket gun formed from light materialized in Hong-cha’s hands.
Bang!
Without a moment’s hesitation, the trigger was pulled, and instead of black gunpowder, the muzzle spewed forth pure white light.
Boom──
I sharpened my focus, pouring all my concentration into my eyes.
──Aaaahhh…!
The speed of the pure white projectile slowed considerably.
‘Now!’
I drove force into my left foot and kicked off the ground.
Whoooosh──
A brilliant white flame erupted, and my body slipped through the gap.
──Uuuhhh!
“Ugh!”
This time, I evaded only the damage, not the knockback.
[Health 55%]
My health remained unchanged.
But my body was sent flying.
Thud!
I landed right in front of the enemy Jungler.
This was exactly what I had intended.
I had calculated the trajectory of my rebound in advance.
“Huh…?”
As Reina suddenly rolled in, the Axe Warrior flinched.
“You’ve come to die on your own!”
The Axe Warrior raised his axe, and I drew my bow.
Creak──
Blue mana gathered into my bow.
〔Targeting〕
About twenty of Reina’s targets materialized on the Axe Warrior’s body.
In that moment, the Axe Warrior hurled his axe.
Whoosh!
I kicked off with my right foot and immediately dodged the axe.
The axe slipped past my afterimage.
I perfectly evaded the attack without even using a roll.
“!?”
I exploited the frame advantage.
But to the eyes of a mere Gold-ranked Axe Warrior, it was nearly impossible to comprehend what had just happened.
‘That didn’t connect? This damn game….’
The Axe Warrior could only blame the skill’s hitbox internally.
In the midst of it all.
Burst!
A blue target exploded.
The cost of the Axe Warrior’s missed attack was steep.
‘What?’
In that instant of bewilderment, two more arrows flew toward him.
Bang!
Burst!!
Another blue target detonated.
[Mana Explosion]
Kaboom!
And on top of that, a mana explosion from the three-hit combo.
Blue flames erupted, draining additional health.
‘This… what kind of damage is this?!’
Reina’s current level was five.
The damage from Mana Explosion was at its peak.
‘I have to attack!’
The Axe Warrior’s health recovered only when he struck his opponent.
He grasped the newly formed axe.
Whoosh!
At the same moment, Ran from Hong-cha’s team launched another pure white crystal from behind.
Crash!
Two attacks converged on Almond simultaneously.
As the two swift projectiles closed in on him relentlessly.
[Roll]
Whoosh!
Almond’s figure vanished.
Both attacks targeting him exploded harmlessly in empty air.
Bang…!
“!?”
Reina had suddenly disappeared.
The Axe Warrior was flustered. It was unavoidable. This was his first time witnessing a roll-based invisibility. He’d known about it in theory, but experiencing it firsthand was different.
With a Gold-tier player’s skill level, it was difficult to remain perfectly composed in such a situation.
“Come here!”
Splash!
In that interval, Taco threw his net.
The net constricted around the Axe Warrior’s body.
“Got him! Almond!”
Swish.
Almond’s figure reappeared from the right side.
Crackle…
Blue mana gathered at his bow, forming the shape of an arrow.
“Ah…”
Boom!
The damage after the roll came in even harder.
[Health 54%]
Just one arrow hit, yet 10% of my health was shaved away.
Pow!
Another target exploded.
[Health 47%]
On top of that, a 4-combo bonus damage amplification was added.
[Health 41%]
Increasingly devastating damage began pouring in.
Boom!
Another target burst immediately after.
[Health 29%]
Kaboom!
[Health 5%]
Boom!!!
A combo attack completed in less than a second.
[Death]
The Axe Warrior fell.
[Level Up!]
Reina’s level rose to 6.
‘Level 6.’
Level 6 in Reel is a special number.
Because you learn Divine Descent.
Then.
“Ugh?!”
Boom!
With a thunderous sound, Taco rolled across the ground.
Hong-cha’s pure white crystal had struck Taco.
Hong-cha and Lemon had changed their target.
They intended to kill Taco and return.
“!”
Almond immediately tried to go help. But Taco shouted.
“Don’t come! I’ll just die here!”
Taco was prepared to sacrifice himself.
If I turned back to help Taco here, we’d both just end up dead.
The enemy’s health situation was far superior to Almond and Taco’s.
Taco’s judgment seemed sound.
Even so…
‘I don’t think I need to back off.’
I decided to make my own assessment.
‘Taco isn’t watching the minimap right now.’
Taco seemed unable to make a proper judgment while taking hits.
[Miho.]
[Yes!]
[Come down faster.]
[I’m already on my way~!]
‘Good.’
I suddenly turned sharply backward.
Taco cried out in surprise.
“Wh—!? Why are you coming back!?”
“Brother! Fight back!”
“…What!?”
Taco didn’t understand why I was doing this, but he grasped that I was attempting a counterattack.
So he threw his trident and tried to fight back.
At the same time, he asked again.
“Wait, but the angle is—”
—Boom!
The pure white crystal shot by Hong-cha cut off Taco’s words. Taco was eliminated.
[An ally has fallen!]
[Hong-cha → Takoyaki]
Saving Taco was already out of reach.
But what I was aiming for was an even bigger prize.
I released the bowstring I’d been drawing.
Twang!
One of the marks on Kuipan’s body burst instantly.
Kuipan flinched and cried out.
“Ugh! Eat my vomit!”
He opened his mouth wide and spewed out disgusting things. The propulsion sent him flying backward in retreat.
Or rather, he tried to retreat.
“I’m here! Brother!”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Solaria burst out from the path where Kuipan needed to escape.
It was Miho.
Hong-cha’s reaction speed was also incredible. She immediately fired at Miho.
Boom!
Bang!
The pristine white explosion pushed Miho back slightly, but her health was in such excellent condition that she paid it no mind and unleashed a torrent of flames at Kuipan.
Whoooosh!
Fireballs and burning projectiles engulfed Kuipan.
Kuipan faltered, unable to advance forward.
That moment—it split the game wide open.
Creak—
Almond’s bowstring drew back with flawless smoothness.
‘Perfect.’
In this chaotic battlefield, my right hand released the string with the silence of a mouse holding its breath.
The arrows that flew forth burst the targets on Kuipan’s body one after another.
Boom!
Boom!
Followed by arrows raining down like a downpour.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Without a single millimeter of error, they lodged themselves dead center into the blue targets.
-How the hell does he hit something that small continuously???
-Kuipan lol is he gonna die again??lol
-Miho joining in~~~!
-Wow lol
-Mom is Kuipan a hedgehog!? Mom is Kuipan a hedgehog!? Mom is Kuipan a hedgehog!?
[4 Combo!]
[8 Combo!]
[10 Combo!]
The combo counter climbed higher and higher.
Damage multiplied.
Health depleted.
“Kyaaaaaah! Unnie!”
In the end, Lemon collapsed like déjà vu.
‘Next is Hong-cha…!’
Almond immediately pivoted his bow toward Hong-cha.
“Sorry~~!”
Hong-cha was already well beyond my attack range.
She was just desperately sprinting backward.
-Wow lol her escape angle is insanely good lol
-Escape master lol
-This is why I hate quick-witted players
Hong-cha wasn’t even defending the tower this time—she was just continuously retreating.
She seemed to be accounting for Almond’s team’s Jungler joining in as well.
“Damn. Can’t we catch the ADC?”
Miho clicked her tongue in disappointment.
I share the same regret as I watch Hong-cha, now reduced to a mere speck in the distance.
“She’s too far away…”
Mid-thought, I hesitated for a moment.
“Hmm…?”
Then I shook my head.
“No.”
“?”
My gaze shifts to the text displayed in the corner of my vision.
[Arcane Archer’s Pride×100]
I’m level 6.
I’ve already stacked everything needed for the Divine Descent Technique while hitting Kuipan earlier.
“This might actually work.”
[Divine Descent Technique – Damian’s Unleashed Arrow]
This time, the opportunity has finally arrived.
A chance to kill the Challenger.
Crackle crackle crackle…!
A massive surge of mana erupts as a golden-haired woman descends from the sky.
My lips curl upward.
“Deploying the 500,000 won Divine Descent Technique.”
