The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 21
8. Assassination Mission (3)
The Black Sky.
The Black Fortress Wall.
A black hand emerges through the gap in the battlement.
Tap.
The hand then gripped the castle wall as if squeezing stone dust.
“Hnngh!”
Almond exhaled, wringing out his last reserves of strength, and finally pulled himself up onto the castle wall.
“Whew, this is brutal.”
Nothing in this game was easy.
“Everything except archery is hell.”
From Almond’s perspective, everything except archery seemed to have high difficulty.
-????
-That’s the hardest part though.
-Shut it, hyung.
-You climbed the wall pretty well though. Honestly, you should need at least 3 tries here lol
-Real talk… did you do some training beforehand?
‘Training… yeah, I did.’
Almond had cleared all the Capsule training at maximum difficulty this morning.
He planned to repeat this every time going forward.
For Almond, who had experienced his time as a professional athlete, this kind of repetitive training was familiar.
“I’ll dispose of the bodies first.”
Almond dragged the two corpses and shoved them into the corner bastion.
After that, he pulled the black hood down low and carefully approached the next target.
Another sentry holding a torch comes into view.
“What the… where’s the torch?”
The sentry muttered in a dull voice, scratching his head.
“Is he sleeping again?”
Just from hearing this, you could tell exactly how lax the guard duty was.
Hidden in the darkness, Almond smirked and drew his bowstring.
Creak.
-This is too close. If he screams, it’ll be dangerous.
-The fortress tower is right behind him.
Worried messages appeared in the chat.
Twang!
The target didn’t even manage a scream before collapsing instantly.
Only the faint sound of blood and phlegm gurgling—his vocal cords were pierced, so he couldn’t even make a metallic sound.
The arrow had lodged directly through the center of his throat.
-Wow…!
-Whoosh!
-Can’t even see it clearly.
-This is insane. Seriously.
-The neck too? One shot?
-The neck’s a vital point, and it looks like a Perfect Shot judgment.
-Yeah, seeing him die without even a death spasm, it’s definitely a Perfect Shot.
Almond calmly picked up the torch and placed it back on the castle wall at about the midpoint.
He had realized that the enemies would react when they noticed a torch was missing.
He also rehung the torches from the two he had killed earlier.
‘This way, even from across the way, they won’t notice.’
After that, I moved the bodies to the bastion and paused for a moment, looking at the three corpses sprawled before me.
‘Once I enter the fortress tower, there will be many more enemies.’
I had successfully cleared the castle wall, but now I had to venture inside the castle as well. There would be many enemies. No matter how much I was called the divine archer, if more than ten enemies approached at once, there would be no way to handle it.
‘Hmm….’

* * *
A soldier carrying a bow trudged through the interior of the castle.
The new armor felt slightly uncomfortable, but he naturally went to the armory and grabbed more arrows.
A soldier passed by the armory, but passed without much suspicion.
“…?”
That soldier tilted his head slightly and turned back.
Twang!
In that instant, an arrow pierced the center of his forehead with the sound of air being torn.
“…Ugh!”
The soldier collapsed and died, uttering his final breath.
-Wow. Are you really going to kill them all?
-I think Almond misunderstood the quest lol
-We told you, just kill the lord, Almond!
The viewers desperately tried to give me advice, but caught in the tension and exhilaration, I couldn’t hear them at all.
The sensation from those days of competing washed over my entire body.
What they call a trance state.
‘Good.’
I loved being in this state.
Nothing else could be heard, and only the target was visible. Only at times like this does this complicated world become beautifully simple.
Hit or miss.
A world where only these two outcomes exist.
An extreme crossroads.
Before it, I become infinitely stronger.
Click.
‘One more.’
Twang!!
There was no hesitation left in his bow.
The arrow flew nearly five hundred meters before the torch carried through the darkness fell to the ground.
-Whoa!
-Wow… almost like a sniper!
-Insane.
-How did he not miss even once? This is legit hacking, right?
-Creepy
-The newcomers are freaking out lol
Good. Almond muttered without thinking and charged forward.
Tap-tap-tap.
-The sound is too loud!?
-What are you doing! Almond!
He knew it too. That running made too much noise. That it was dangerous. But he wasn’t aware of it. Right now, such dangers neither reached his ears nor his eyes.
“There! Over there!”
For the first time, a soldier’s loud voice rang out.
Almond didn’t slow his pace and drew the bowstring.
An arrow flew without proper aim.
Thunk!
“Ugh!”
The soldier collapsed with a scream.
-The leg?
-Why the leg?
-Almond falls from trees too.
-Almond originally grew from trees so he falls lol
-Man, this is bad. Now it’s over
The chat was filled with worry and confusion. But Almond’s expression remained completely unshaken.
Two more soldiers came running.
“Damn. Daemon!”
One colleague tried to support the injured soldier’s leg. The other charged toward Almond.
Almond didn’t slow his pace either, quickly nocking the bowstring.
And then…
Ping!
A light release, as if firing a slingshot.
“Hack!”
The charging soldier was knocked backward.
“!”
The soldier supporting his colleague finally turned with a face drenched in terror.
Thud!
An arrow lodged directly into his face.
At nearly the same moment, an arrow pierces the soldier who had only been wounded in the leg.
Thunk!
With that, all the soldiers who had come running were dead.
-Kya. Took out one more by using him as a crutch.
-WWII landmine meta lol
Mandatory military service archer is crazy/insane.
Though I could have boasted about my brilliant tactic, I walked forward again without even catching my breath.
My eyes were no longer those of the Almond from moments before.
Creak.
With an expressionless face, I drew the bowstring again, then released it like a machine.
Whoosh!
A soldier leaping across the castle wall is struck and falls.
“Ugh!”
“Damn it!”
There were quite a few soldiers around that soldier. They had all gathered after hearing the commotion.
“There!”
“Intruder!!!”
Not only did they shout about the intruder, but they even blew a horn.
Boooooooo!!!
Clang. Clang.
The sound of armored soldiers pouring out feels vivid and real.
-No way, now it’s really screwed.
I can’t translate this as it appears to be random Korean consonants and vowels without forming actual words or meaningful content.
-This is overkill.
-Almond got way too immersed
brain amputation
-No, if he gets discovered like this, what happens!
The viewers complained that Almond had abandoned the fundamentals of assassination.
But I did not respond.
I could see the ‘path’.
‘It’s fine to be discovered.’
It’s fine to be discovered.
I had already made that judgment long ago, and because of it, confident shots continued to flow.
Bang! Pang!
Now there was no need to worry about the sound of the bow, so my shooting speed became even faster.
Thud!
The foreheads of the two soldiers rushing at the front were pierced with holes in unison as they fell.
Whoosh!
Once more a piercing sound rings out, and the moment another one in the back falls.
[Skill. Rapid Fire. Activated!]
A skill that activates when three enemies are sent down with headshots within a certain timeframe.
Rapid-fire shooting triggers.
Almond dropped into a kneeling stance and drove all his arrows straight into the ground.
Thunk.
Then, snatching them up in an instant, he began drawing the bowstring, and
the speed was almost impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whooooosh!
The successive cutting sounds of arrows merged into one continuous velocity.
“Gaaaahhh!”
“Kugh!”
“Hack!”
The soldiers rushing forward collapsed in droves.
All bearing identical wounds.
“W-what is this…!?”
“They’re all… in the forehead…”
Splurt!
Those muttering such words soon met the same fate.
Now only the sound of arrows being loosed and screams echoed across the castle wall.
“R-run! It’s a mad monster!”
Finally, twenty soldiers turned and began fleeing backward.
But that merely bought them a few more seconds of life.
Tap!
Almond burst forward as if he’d been waiting for this moment, aiming his bow ahead.
It was like shooting archery while sprinting.
‘I can do this.’
He harbored not a shred of doubt in his own abilities.
In this virtual space, he wasn’t merely freed from the constraints of his right arm. This was a place without the limitations of flesh.
With only his concentration and will, he could strike them all down.
Whoosh!
The arrow cuts through the wind at a speed far faster than Almond’s running form.
“Gack!”
It strikes the fleeing soldier’s back.
The soldier tumbles down in a ridiculous pose as if flying.
Seeing this, they panic even more and run faster, but…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almond’s arrows pursue them without wavering.
“Kugh!”
“Damn it, running won’t help… ughhhh!”
Thunk! Thunk! Thwack!
Half of those fleeing crumpled to the ground.
Whistle! Whistle!
Half of that half fell in succession.
At last, an arrow found its mark in the final soldier.
Thunk!
In the end, not a single soldier remained upon the castle wall.
I had eliminated every last defender of the castle.
“Phew.”
Only then did Almond wipe away the sweat streaming down his face and let out a smirk.
“It works.”
I’m going crazy ㅠㅠ
And… that’s seriously badass lol
-Is that what they call a killer smile or something?
-Why are you so good at games AND handsome…
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain corrupted or garbled Korean characters mixed with internet slang (ㅋㅋㅋ = laughter), making it unintelligible.
The viewers who had doubted him at the beginning erupted in cheers at the performance that defied their expectations. Naturally, such enthusiasm didn’t end with mere words.
[Rubisword donated ‘10,000 won’.]
[Wow!]
[Thor donated ‘5,000 won’.]
[The real deal has appeared.]
[Kwon Oh-jin donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[Brother, I don’t have much money… here’s everything I have.]
Donations poured in.
‘The donations are really picking up now.’
Sanghyeon felt anew that his broadcast was thriving.
“Now then, let’s go kill Seongjoo.”
I stepped over countless corpses and opened the door with absolute confidence.
