The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 186
64. The Final Layer (5)
I wasn’t the only one who wanted Swift dead.
“Swift! You deceived us!”
Ben cried out with a trembling voice.
The other children all screamed in fury.
“You bastard! Kill him!”
“I chose this trash three times! There’s no room for debate!”
Most of Swift’s colleagues were combat units. They formed a formidable force when united.
Yet Swift’s demeanor suggested he could dispose of them in an instant.
“Vermin. You worms wouldn’t have even made it here without me.”
Swift drew two blades and hurled them in opposite directions.
Then countless bolts of lightning erupted.
Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle!!!
[Blink]
[Blink]
[Blink]
[Blink]
.
.
.
-Terrifying
-Did he completely break his seal?
-Right before the sanctuary, so basically it’s over
-No cooldown blink lol
The speed was incomprehensible.
Whoooosh!
The children fell dead in an instant.
“Aaaahhhhh!”
“Cough…!”
Swift’s combat prowess was on an entirely different level from what I had faced before.
‘What is this.’
Hitting a being who used blink without cooldown was completely unrelated to how well I could shoot arrows.
-How do you even hit him
-No cooldown combat lol
-Infinite drift
By then, more than half the children were already dead.
“Uuugghhh…!”
“Gaaahhh!”
The sanctuary, now drenched in sticky blood.
If this were not a game, I would have felt the metallic tang of iron vibrating at the tip of my nose.
“Y-you absolute madman…!”
Luna’s eyes blazed with fury.
To slice through all the children she had fought alongside without a shred of hesitation.
Squelch!
[Blink]
Next came her.
Clang—!
“?”
Luna parried his blade strike.
“As expected, all those years of grinding have paid off, haven’t they, Luna.”
Swift leaned in close with a twisted smile.
“I really must stuff you into this sanctuary. If I put only you inside, it might just fill to the brim.”
“Ugh…!”
Luna gritted her teeth and endured the weight he was pressing down with.
‘Now.’
I did not miss the opening as Swift grew momentarily arrogant.
Whoosh!
A blue trajectory pierced through where Swift stood.
But it was only an afterimage.
Crack!
[Blink]
Swift had thrown his blade and blinked away to another location.
Surely I had missed.
But—
‘I’ve got him.’
This blink was far too predictable.
It was actually the perfect opportunity.
The blue arrow that flew struck Swift precisely.
Thud!
“!?”
And it hit his weak point directly.
[Fireworks: When striking a vital point, arrows explode significantly. This explosion causes 0.2 seconds of stun.]
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted from the Fireworks effect.
I thought he would immediately use Blink to escape, but Swift was momentarily stunned.
That’s right, scary stuff.
-Finally!
Now just one step away ㅠㅠ
The viewers worried it would take just one more hit.
‘This is it.’
I found the answer here.
How to prevent that thug from using Blink anymore.
‘0.2 seconds of stun.’
A 0.2-second stun duration.
During this time, Swift cannot use Blink.
What if I keep landing critical hits within this 0.2-second window?
‘I could make him unable to use it forever.’
Twang.
I quickly released the bowstring.
The window of opportunity wasn’t long.
I only had 0.2 seconds each time.
Thwack!
Another direct hit.
“Ugh!”
Stunned again, he couldn’t use his skill.
But that wasn’t all.
[Popcorn: Every 2nd shot fires 2 arrows.]
Thwack!
A bonus arrow lodges in as well.
[Swift]
[Health 92%]
I landed 2 arrows, but by the game’s judgment, it counted as 3 hits.
[Triple Strike Mastery: Every 3rd hit greatly increases movement and attack speed. Duration 10 seconds. Stacks.]
This activated the Triple Strike Mastery ability as well.
[Attack Speed Increased]
[Movement Speed Increased]
Whoooosh…!
My body felt noticeably lighter.
‘If this continues…’
Now it became possible to keep firing arrows within that 0.2-second window.
Without hesitation, I fired arrow after arrow in rapid succession.
Thwack!
The arrow struck Swift once more.
[Swift]
[Health 86%]
Sparks erupted, and Swift remained stunned.
The speed of drawing the bowstring grew faster and faster.
‘The battle will be decided within 10 seconds.’
[Movement Speed Increased 30%]
[Attack Speed Increased 30%]
Whoosh!
Boom!
The fireworks effect continued to explode outward.
[Health 76%]
The effect of three consecutive guaranteed hits persisted.
[Movement Speed Increased 30%]
[Attack Speed Increased 30%]
[Movement Speed Increased 30%]
[Attack Speed Increased 30%]
.
.
.
My hands drawing the bowstring grew faster and faster.
Swift’s health depleted just as rapidly.
[Health 70%]
[Health 63%]
[Health 58%]
.
.
.
-Insane
-How high does attack speed go
-This is crazy
-Look at Swift’s durability though lol
-Going to Mars!
-Story mode has no limits
In Story mode, stat restrictions don’t exist.
Whatever increases, I can use as much as I want.
The only constraint is my own control ability as a Player.
My hands begin moving at speeds impossible in reality.
Boom boom boom boom!
‘Just die already.’
Yet Swift’s health still remained above 50%.
I didn’t care.
I’m frozen in place, and so is Swift.
I had absolute confidence that not a single arrow would miss. Whether I fired ten arrows per second or a hundred made no difference.
As long as both the archer and the target remained still.
‘There’s no way I’ll miss.’
My arrows could never miss.
My hand continued to snap the bowstring.
Blue arrows poured forth at a speed beyond counting.
The blue trajectories of the arrows converged and merged into a stream of water.
Soon it became a cascading waterfall pouring down.
Crash!
Where that waterfall struck, it became a sea, dyeing everything blue.
“…!”
Swift’s eyes rolled back white.
[Health 5%]
It was nearly over.
It was around this thought.
-Trembling trembling trembling
-And he’s doing it in one combo!??
That’s hilarious lol
-Swift… Cough!
-??
Crack!
A golden aura burst forth from Swift’s body.
[Final Resistance]
[When health drops below 5%, you become immune to all crowd control and ranged attacks. All stats increase by 80% and convert 40% of damage taken into health.]
-Ah it’s phase 2
I can’t translate this as it appears to be incomplete or unclear Korean text. The “-아” is a Korean verb ending, but “ㅡㅡ” represents dashes or a blank space rather than actual words.
I need to kill it before it bursts.
-We’re done
-This is really it now
Swift growls menacingly.
He no longer falls for crowd control.
“You bastard. You’re finished.”
Whoosh!
Swift’s form vanished in golden light.
A blink.
However, what had accelerated for me was not merely attack speed.
Movement speed was included as well.
Boom!
As I pushed off with my feet, my form scattered and disappeared.
Slash!
Swift’s blade, erupting from somewhere, swung down.
Whoosh!!
It only cleaved through my afterimage.
Swift’s face twisted in frustration.
“What is this speed──”
──Whoosh!
An arrow from Almond comes flying from somewhere.
Swift’s eyebrows twitched.
“Huh?”
[Rubisword]
Crack!
He blinks away using the sword he left behind.
Another arrow flies toward that location.
“Not even close──”
Clang!
He swats the arrow away.
“──to hitting me!”
Swift quickly throws his sword again and blinks toward Almond.
[Rubisword]
Crack──
Swift draws his blade the moment he appears, but Almond is already gone.
“You little rat! Die!”
Swift continues hurling his sword at the fleeing Almond, blinking repeatedly.
Crack!
Crack!
[Rubisword]
[Rubisword]
Swift closes the distance with consecutive blinks, moving swiftly.
Almond twists at the waist and unleashes arrows in his direction.
Boom boom boom!
The attack speed was so tremendous that no human could deflect each individual arrow.
Clang clang clang!
Yet Swift blocks them all.
‘Something’s off.’
I’ve felt something strange since earlier.
The speed and accuracy are unnaturally fast.
As if it were automatic.
Like a system-level blockade against ranged attacks.
Almond instinctively realizes that Swift is currently in a ranged immunity state.
‘Ah. So it’s ranged immunity.’
It’s written in the final resistance explanation that he rushed past.
Immunity to ranged attacks and control devices.
‘How does something like this even exist.’
By then, Swift was right in front of him.
Crack!!
“I told you it won’t work!?”
Swift laughs wickedly as he brings his blade down in a slash.
Whoosh!
I twist my body to evade.
Swift continues to swing his sword relentlessly.
Whoosh! Whoooosh!
I exploit my accelerated speed to slip past his attacks with ease. For now, I’m still faster than him.
However, once the stacked “Three-Hit Victory” buffs begin to fade one by one, I will surely fall to Swift.
‘I need a close-range weapon.’
I hadn’t brought a sword with me.
The Liberation Bow has no arrows, so I can’t even stab with them.
Screech!
Swift’s blade grazes my skin.
The stacked buffs are finally beginning to disappear.
My speed is slowing compared to Swift’s.
[Blink]
Crack!
Immediately after blinking, I unleash a slashing attack.
Splash!
Blood erupts from his shoulder blade.
Swift’s attack has landed.
‘Ah.’
In this moment, I remember.
How I first escaped from Swift’s grasp.
Tap.
I adjust my stance, prepared to sacrifice one of my limbs.
A posture perfect for cutting.
Swift nods in approval and immediately blinks forward to strike.
Splash!
My left arm is severed.
“Ah, Almond!!”
Luna’s scream reaches me faintly.
I pay it no mind, twisting my upper body while adding rotation to my lower half.
At close range, I can’t deliver a kick like before.
I use my knee instead.
Straight into the center of Swift’s blink point!
Crunch──
“!?”
A knee strike drives directly between Swift’s legs.
“──Cough.”
The heavy impact nearly made Swift’s eyes bulge from their sockets.
“Dead….”
At this point, he should be nearly dead.
I thought.
“What?”
[Health 8%]
It was because of the trait that absorbed 30% of damage as health.
The health I’d gained from attacking Almond still remained.
“Damn.”
This was a variable Almond hadn’t calculated for.
ㅠㅠ (crying/tears)
-Damn
I cannot provide a translation for this text as it does not appear to be a valid Korean word or phrase. The characters “-에바야ㅡㅡ” do not form a recognizable term in Korean.
-???
-Ah
Sighs poured from the chat window.
Even with a decisive blow landed, victory remained out of reach.
Whoosh!
Swift blinked back in, thrusting forward with a gleaming blade.
“You’re the one who dies…!”
Even if I dodged this, I’d only keep dodging until eventually there was nothing left but death.
Games like this weren’t designed to be beaten no-death on the first try anyway, so perhaps I just had to accept it.
Swift’s Phase 2 reversal was honestly impossible to overcome without experiencing it multiple times or checking a guide beforehand.
For what it was, Almond had already done quite well.
Just as I was consoling myself and thinking this might be the end.
Swift’s blade pierced through.
“Gahhh…!”
──Squelch!
Not into Almond, but into another being.
“…Luna?”
A small back.
Golden hair cascading down.
Blood was pouring freely from her side.
Thud.
Yet Luna seized Swift’s arm and pulled him toward her with even greater force.
“What…!”
Swift was momentarily bewildered.
Luna raised the sword she gripped in reverse, a blade shimmering with azure radiance.
[Blade Force]
Thwack!
A surge of blue energy pierced through Swift’s throat.
The Rubisword deals damage proportional to lost health.
For Swift, already depleted, it was naturally fatal.
[Health 0%]
The health that had clung to nearly 10% evaporated in an instant.
Thud.
Swift collapsed.
-???
-Wow
-Luna did that?
-WTF
Oh my god, seriously?
Swift was dead.
Almond survived.
Luna also lived, though her injuries were severe.
Thud.
Luna collapsed, gasping for breath, her words tumbling out roughly.
“Damn… damn it… I killed him… that bastard….”
Then a belated donation arrived.
[Supo-jwa donated 10,000 won.]
[3-star clears are this difficult~ Mission bonus incoming~]
It was a donation sent thinking Almond had died.
-What?
-LMAO
-HAHAHAHA
-???: Slow
The timing is absolutely hilarious lol
Salty and pathetic, crying ㅋㅋㅋ
-Self-humiliation
Even Almond couldn’t help but snicker at that.

* * *
“What are you staring at so intently? The movie’s about to start.”
Crunch, crunch.
A man munching on popcorn asks the question.
The seat beside him was actually empty—there were no seats there.
It was a space reserved for a wheelchair.
Sarang finally puts away her phone and shakes her head.
“It’s nothing.”
“Something’s bothering you, isn’t it?”
Popcorn had already glimpsed what she was looking at from the corner of his eye.
That she was conscious of Almond.
Because he knew her nature well, he could tell even without her saying anything.
Sarang lets out a shallow sigh and just speaks the truth as it is.
“Sigh. They say my data exists. You’ve already seen everything—why are you asking?”
Popcorn laughs at her sharp tone.
Pffft.
“Right. It’s literally your data. But it’s not you, is it? Besides, they have all the other players’ data too. When was that time for you?”
“Back when I only had the Rubisword. Before I went pro.”
“Right. Your amateur days, yeah? How is that you? Ah, the movie’s starting.”
Popcorn takes a sip of cola and turns his gaze to the screen.
Sarang finally tears her eyes away from her phone as well.
From now on, it would essentially be her data’s turn to compete.
But she didn’t particularly want to watch it with her own eyes.
