The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 224
76. A New Card (4)
To effectively utilize Honryeongsa, I fundamentally needed about 10 spirit entities.
However, these spirit entities dissipate quite easily from the Contractor’s attacks, so maintaining 10 of them required at least 20 spirit stacks.
Maintaining 20 spirit stacks was impossible with just minion kills alone.
I had to hit the Contractor.
This is where Honryeongsa’s difficulty increases.
While multitasking to hit the Contractor, I couldn’t miss the last hits on the incoming minions with my staff, and all the while I had to be mindful of what kind of harassment the enemy might throw at me.
Incredibly demanding conditions.
But when all these conditions were successfully met….
“Just how many spirit stacks did Almond accumulate? What’s your estimate, King Gul!?”
“My prediction is somewhere between 20 and… 30… but if it’s 20 or more…!”
“What happens if it’s 20 or more?”
“The tower is in danger! The game could blow wide open here!”
Tremendous destructive power surged forth.
-Wooooow…!
-Insane.
-Are you serious….
The audience stirred with murmurs.
The chat was the same.
-Is that spirit stack count real?
-He beat people to death with wave attacks so lol it makes sense he’d stack that much
-Crazy lol
-How many times did he hit?!
The ground in the mid lane began to turn violet.
Almond had summoned 41 spirit entities.
“One, two… ten… forty!?”
King Gul’s face turned purple as well.
“K, King Gul! You said if it’s 20 the tower could explode!”
“Yes, yes. That’s correct.”
“But it’s forty now! So what happens then!!”
“The tower is absolutely guaranteed to fall!! Of, of course, assuming proper control!”
“Proper control? When he’s handling the spirit wave at that level! Shouldn’t it obviously work!?”
King Gul shook his head.
“No. The spirit wave is a single entity. Once spirit entities exceed 10, control becomes difficult. I can’t give them individual movements—they have to move as if they’re all one person.”
“Ah, so Almond, who’s new to Honryeongsa….”
“Having accumulated so many stacks could actually become a liability. And the summoning was a bit late just now, right? Surprisingly, since Almond is a shop pick, he’s been learning the summoning motions….”
Light laughter rippled through the audience at those words.
-Right, it was a shop pick lol
-Wondered why the summoning was slow lol
-Damn it lol, I forgot
“Almond is launching an attack regardless! Moving forward with perfectly synchronized movements!”
“So individual control isn’t possible!?”
“Right! But it doesn’t matter! Look at the damage!”
Boom!
Half the tower’s health vanishes.
“But Yangpa just arrived!?”
“Specters dissolve against the Contractor’s attacks! No matter how many there are, there’s nothing we can do!”
“Should we retreat?”
“Yes, we should!”
“Almond is backing off!”
“Ah, what a shame. If the summon had been just a bit faster…”
King Gul smacked his lips in regret at missing the shocking sight of the tower breaking at level 2.
However──
“Huh???”
“What, what is that…”
King Gul had accidentally slipped into casual speech.
“Oh, my apologies! But what on earth is that!!!!”
Bang!
He slammed his desk and shot up from his seat.
“S-sixty stacks!? No! Observer! I asked you to show the stacks!”
Only now did he realize that Almond had accumulated 63 specter stacks.
Because he had summoned more specters from the newly created corpse.
“Please calm down, King Gul! This observation system is new to us too… Ah! The observer team just contacted us. It was exactly 63 stacks. He had built up 63 stacks! But there weren’t enough corpses to summon more!”
-What the…
-Is this real?
-63 stacks…??
King Gul shouted as if furious.
“No! Yangpa! How many hits did you take!?”
-Why is he taking it out on Yangpa lol
-He couldn’t predict the stacks and blames Yangpa lol
-Lol
-Insane lol
“That’s too much for Gold rank!”
“Ah, and as I’m speaking, the Jungler joins in!”
“Oh! The Jungler arrived at the perfect timing? This is practically a savior for Yangpa!”
“Really!? But there are 40 specters!”
The Analyst pushed up his red glasses and elaborated on this question.
“Specters die far too easily to Contractor attacks. With two of them here… we should consider it blocked. Plus, with that many specters, control becomes difficult and actually becomes dangerous.”
However, his prediction was completely overturned.
My spirit entities moved like a living army. Though there were moments of clumsy movements scattered throughout.
Such trivial stumbles were mere specks of dust compared to the organic combat my army displayed.
Especially when a spirit entity blocked the axe the Jungler threw and another dodged his attack by arching backward.
“W-What is this!? This is insane!”
“No….”
The casters couldn’t hide their excitement.
King Gul had been standing at the broadcast desk for quite some time. It was a miracle he hadn’t jumped onto the broadcast table.
“Am I seeing this correctly!? Almond! Did you actually summon real souls? Are you really a magician!?”
“The magician is Mosol!”
“Ah! That’s right! Then could these be the spirits of your exes that you summoned!?”
“What!?”
“Otherwise, how are they moving so individually and protecting Almond so well!!!”
The Caster was bewildered by the absurd statement.
“Would an ex really try to protect Almond?”
“They must have lingering attachments! That’s why they became spirits! With Almond’s face! Of course they’d have lingering attachments!”
-What the hell is he saying lolololol
-Ex-girlfriend summoningololol
-Lololol
-Wait, 63 exes…?
-Even Orochimaru would weep at this Edo Tensei lololol
In this battle, Yangpa died, and the Jungler who came to help him also fell.
[Reckless Warrior Double Kill!]
The game was exploding in real time.
“Ahhh! The Jungler who came to save me is instead… giving Almond experience….”
“Ah, you came to ruin my lane… my savior….”
-lololololololol
-Legendary line activated
-King Gul forgot to take his meds this morning. He’s wild lololol
-Seems like he’s having fun without needing to hold back for Nant Tournament
The Jungler died and my level became 3.
The tower’s destruction was inevitable.
[Enemy tower destroyed!]
An announcement voice rang out almost simultaneously with cheers.
-Uooooooooooooo!
But an even louder voice erupted from the broadcast desk.
“Wait, Almond! Are you pushing further!?”
Even after destroying the tower, I hadn’t stopped my advance.
“Are you going for the second tower!?”
I intended to destroy the second tower as well.
If the second tower falls, the only towers left protecting the nexus would be the twin towers right in front of it.
In short, a highway straight to the Nexus was opening up.
Which meant a highway straight to victory was opening up.
“Can this even work? What’s your prediction, King Gul!?”
“Don’t ask me anymore! All my predictions are falling apart!”
“Just try anyway!”
“Ah… W-well, it seems like we might be able to push through?”
Meanwhile, Almond’s army had reached a distance where they could strike the second tower.
Twang.
At Almond’s command, all the spectral entities drew their bowstrings in unison.
Whoosh….
At that moment, the enemy team’s top laner and bottom duo burst out simultaneously from the brush on the hill.
“Oh! Green Tea Bagging’s response is incredibly good!?”
“They’re not giving up the second tower!”
It was a crisis that could end the game entirely. They were willing to burn themselves down to stop it.
[Block it!]
[Kill them!]
The shadows of three Contractors soared powerfully, looming over Almond.

* * *
Ten minutes later.
As Green Tea Bagging’s Nexus exploded, the familiar cry of the casters rang out.
“Yesss~~~!”
It was a clean sweep for Balloon Stars.
“The decision to push to the second tower was also incredibly good in hindsight. In chess terms, it wasn’t quite ‘checkmate,’ but more of a ‘check’ move.”
“Yes. A check that led to checkmate. Ultimately, they couldn’t break through, but regardless, Almond made it back alive, and because the enemy had to overextend to stop it, the top and bottom towers took heavy damage.”
Almond hadn’t managed to push through both the second tower in one go. (This meant King Gul’s predictions were completely off.)
However, because of that move, the entire enemy team had to converge mid, and in that gap, Balloon Stars easily destroyed the top and bottom towers.
Just by threatening the second tower, they destroyed two additional towers.
“As expected, giving up too much in that early mid fight… the snowball rolled quite large.”
As the Analyst said, the double kill in mid and losing the first tower was the root cause of everything.
“Right. Both the jungler and mid laner dying simultaneously in mid and losing the tower… ugh. Just talking about it makes me dizzy.”
“But Green Tea Bagging. Is their teamwork okay? When a game blows up like this….”
Sigh.
King Gul exhaled deeply, then spoke solemnly.
“I’ll speak candidly. If this were solo queue… I think I would’ve at least asked how their pet dog was doing.”
That’s crazy lolololol
-A pet dog lol
Haha, even if you’re leaving, it’s fine to at least ask how the pet is doing, right? Lol
King penguin went crazy lolololol
How’s your family’s Yorkshire Terrier doing!?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Fact: King Gul was a “little nobleman” during his amateur days who would even ask about his ancestors’ well-being.
The fact that King Gul would make such a comment shows just how severely the mid-lane gap had widened in this game.
“Ah~~ Is it that bad? I hope Green Tea Bagging doesn’t have any teamwork issues.”
The caster’s wish never came to fruition.
[Ah. Yangpa, you crazy bastard. Living up to your name. Seriously, the more you play, the worse it gets! Huh? Maybe you shouldn’t even respawn!]
[If you got stomped in the shop pick, I’d just surrender immediately.]
[Why surrender with a perfectly fine Reina? We should surrender that guy’s spine instead.]
[Hey. Pickle. And you all. Stop it. What can you do when Almond plays well….]
[Why are the standards only strict for me!? Huh!? Just give me one chance! I can mess up too, you know!!!! Don’t you guys mess up!? Huh?]
[Ugh. Yangpa. You hold back too.]

* * *
“Wooooooooo!”
“Almond! Almond!”
As Balloon Stars waved and exited, countless almond-shaped confetti balloons burst into celebration.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
“Wooooooo!”
“They won with the shop pick! Is this real!?”
“Insane!”
“Now this is worth cheering for. Seriously.”
Among them, the cheerleader who had replaced his entire head with an almond stood out the most.
He climbed onto the wall of the spectator stands and, proudly displaying his enlarged upper body, shouted:
“King~! Your Almond can’t beat ours! Plus~!”
Judging by how much money he’d spent on DisWorld, despite being enlarged, the opacity value on his body seemed to be set to around 30 so that people behind him were still visible.
“Everyone! Please love Kingdom too! It’s the godly game Almond played at the beginning!”
Ping!
With those words, his avatar vanished.
The system had banned him for illegal promotion.
Choi Sa-rang, who had been watching blankly, let out a hollow laugh.
She was putting the almond confetti balloons into her inventory when a giant almond head squeezed in beside her.
“Sa-rang. How was it?”
Though she’d changed her head, she was her attending doctor, Hana Song.
“Hmm… Being good at Honryeongsa….”
I felt that my situation was indeed similar to this.
She conveyed this to her as concisely as possible.
“It’s similar.”
“Similar?”
“Multitasking is easy for people like us.”
Pop.
Hana Song’s almond head exploded in white smoke, revealing her proper face.
“Ah, yes. It was in the research data. I’m probably more accustomed to that sensation of ‘using something I don’t have.'”
The greatest barrier to entry in multitasking within Reel or any virtual reality is.
That alien process of having to move body parts I don’t possess.
But Sanghyeon and Sarang must already be accustomed to it.
They’re familiar with it without even realizing it.
So for them, it’s actually not much different from their usual gaming environment.
“Still, I told you not to overdo it… The Multitasking Incarnate is really the worst….”
Just because they were accustomed didn’t mean it was good for their health. The strain came from the overload of moving limbs they didn’t have.
And since the Multitasking Incarnate maximized that sensation, it made sense.
Hana Song muttered to herself for a moment, then turned sharply to Choi Sa-rang and spoke.
“But, Sa-rang. Since we decided to come watch this together, haven’t you noticed your expression has gotten much better?”
“This is an expression I purchased from Disworld. Smiling Sang passive.”
“Huh. Really?! It’s so seamless….”
“I’m joking.”
Sarang laughed with a smirk and waved her hand.
“That’s what I was trying to say too! Hahaha!”
Hana Song laughed even louder, her pride wounded at having fallen for such a trick herself.
“When should we come again?”
“Hmm….”
Sarang paused for a moment, studying her schedule.
“I think we only need to watch this one.”
Her finger pointed to a spot much further down on the timetable.
“Huh? You’re not watching the rest of the matches?”
“After watching today’s match, I’m confident we’ll win the rest.”
“Ah….”
That statement meant this match Sarang was pointing to could be a loss.
Four days later, the final match of the league.
[Balloon Stars VS Godanbaek]
It was the match against Godanbaek.
