The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 58
21. Almond Unleashed (1)
[1st Place]
Almond claimed first place with stunning ease.
And he did it in the most devastating way possible—a 50-kill victory.
“Alright. Next round.”
As if it were nothing, he immediately queued for the next match.
-LMAO next!
-Next!!!!
-Wait, what just happened? I’m confused, bro….
-Hold on, I just grabbed instant ramen and he already won…?
-How did he win! This is insane!
-LOLOLOL
-Wow, does he actually have a shot?
The viewers who had been watching the entire game were left speechless by the sheer speed of it all.
In the blink of an eye, he’d swept up roughly fifty players and claimed victory.
This was Almond’s true combat power—someone who had perfectly mastered even the strategy videos.
Everyone knew it. Almond wasn’t on the level of Stones.
But no one had anticipated such an absolute gap in skill.
[Slaughterer donated ‘5,000 won’.]
[He literally killed half of them LMAO]
[Half-and-Half donated ‘5,000 won’.]
[Sir! I’ll have half corpses, half people, and extra arrows!]
[Really Going Diamond donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[You’re really doing it! Almond!!!]
[First Time donated ‘10,000 won’.]
[A 50-kill victory… I’ve never seen this before. Please take it easy, human….]
[Report Again donated ‘10,000 won’.]
[Tomorrow’s Notice: Due to accumulated reports, you won’t be able to play for a while….]
While waiting for the next game, all sorts of donation messages flooded in.
It had been that impressive of a match.
“Thank you for the donations, Slaughterer, Half-and-Half, Really Going Diamond, First Time, and Report Again.”
Almond offered a brief acknowledgment, then fixed his gaze on the queue screen.
Even after such a dominant victory, his concentration was still burning intensely.
‘I’m really going for it.’
The clear goal of reaching Diamond rank was gradually transforming him into a monster.
Bit by bit, without even realizing it himself.

* * *
Meanwhile, Baera 31 was ablaze with talk of Almond.
It felt like watching seniors gossiping about some “cocky newbie.”
[Almond’s “Going Diamond in 2 Weeks” Statement Clip Archived.avi]
This was the post that had been uploaded.
Naturally, it was Juhyeok Kim who had posted it.
And for real though lol
-This has to be edited, right?
Did Evande really say that? lol
Something about that expression is seriously not funny at all, man.
-I actually think he might pull it off.
└Malicious nut gang arrested.
Lol chewing on nuts alone
From that point on, the community was in full debate about Almond.
It was a war between the “he can definitely do it” faction and the “that’s impossible” faction.
Of course, the latter overwhelmingly dominated.
Until the first match ended.
[Is Almond actually insane?.gif]
This was the title of the post uploaded right after the first match concluded.
This was also a post from Juhyeok.
‘Damn. I’m becoming a community veteran now.’
From the speed at which he created the clip to the title selection—Juhyeok now looked like a full-fledged community regular to anyone watching.
Most people clicked after reading the title, assuming Almond was being called insane for making that Diamond claim.
But once they opened it, the content was entirely different.
Shockingly different.
The clip contained footage of Almond detonating the Armory, followed by a massacre of fifty kills.
And the moment he claimed first place.
I came in ready to curse after seeing the title, and yeah, I’m cursing. This is crazy, for real.
-???
I gotta report that again lol that’s crazy lol
-What the hell just happened?
-Is that kind of play even possible for an unranked player??
-Huh….
-Didn’t I tell you! Almond! Didn’t I tell you! Almond! Didn’t I tell you! Almond! Didn’t I tell you! Almond! Didn’t I tell you! Almond! Didn’t I tell you! Almond!
Blowing up the armory is so cool, seriously lol
The public opinion seemed to be shifting slightly.
‘Wow… is he actually going to do it?’
Juhyeok, nervously monitoring the community’s reaction, pushed his glasses up. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, distorting the light.
Because right now, he was continuously raising Almond’s risk profile.
In betting terms, he was constantly raising the stakes.
It was natural to be excited.
If public opinion flipped, it would be a perfect victory.
-If you bring Jeon-ja-pa, I’ll even do a 99-kill play. Stop the nonsense
└You’re ridiculous lol. Show me even one 30-kill play from Jeon-ja-pa. This is like a religion or something.
└Nonsense… ‘stop’? I’m reporting this.
└99 kills lmao. Are the other players bots?
-You nuts are going crazy early today. Please just play among yourselves haha
-Who keeps bringing data about unknown Stones? Seriously?
-He’ll reach Diamond in 2 weeks?
└You’re ridiculous lol
└Jeon-ja-pa took a month, idiot lol
└Jeon-ja-pa wasn’t even trying hard. Besides, he could play better than Jeon-ja-pa. Why are you deifying him?
└If you’re going to deify someone, do it to Jeon-ja-pa so it makes sense. You guys worshipping Stones like some kind of stone cult?
└Stone cult lmaooo
└Stone cult lol
└Ah you bastards, from now on it’s the stone cult lol
“Ugh…”
Juhyeok let out a bitter groan.
Almond’s fanbase had suddenly acquired the shameful name of “stone cult.”
As expected, existing public opinion was not so easily swayed.
Almond still had much to prove.
Ding.
In the meantime, Almond’s second queue match was found.
“Prove it. Sanghyeon. That’s all there is to it… damn it.”
Clench.
Juhyeok ground his teeth and banned all the toxic users who had spilled into the live chat.

* * *
Thud!
Almond landed in the Armory once again.
This time, he descended directly onto the rooftop of the Armory warehouse itself.
‘One, two, three….’
A total of three people landed together on the rooftop.
They ran leisurely toward the stairs leading downward, seemingly unable to imagine that fighting would break out on the rooftop itself.
Since they’d already descended into the Armory, it was natural to want to grab weapons of Hero rank or higher. If time dragged on here, it would disadvantage both sides.
That’s why, by unspoken agreement, fighting typically only occurred on the first floor where the Underground Warehouse entrance was located.
The moment someone, with such careless assumptions, opened the rooftop stairwell door and tried to descend.
Thud!
“Aaaahhhhh!”
A hand got caught in the door.
Someone had kicked it shut.
It was Almond.
The opponent whose eyes met his screamed in pain and rage.
“Hey! What the—”
Slash!
A cheap blade cut across his throat. Almond had already procured a sword.
He had no interest in the Underground Warehouse from the start anyway.
“Gack!”
Because the cheap blade wasn’t particularly sharp, the opponent survived. However, he was left in a near-death state and had to crawl across the floor.
“Crazy troll bastard!”
“What!?”
The other two following behind stopped in shock.
‘Why are we fighting here of all places?’
They couldn’t comprehend it, but regardless, they assessed the situation and quickly retreated backward. They’d need weapons to stand a chance against Almond.
But Almond wasn’t about to wait patiently.
His shoulders and waist twisted at an unnatural angle.
Then his waist and shoulders aligned in a straight line.
Channeling all his energy into a single point.
Whoosh!
The blade received that force.
The sword was thrown with a fluid pitching motion.
It embedded itself squarely in the back of the head of one person fleeing.
Crack!
Since the blade wasn’t properly sharp, the impact sounded like being struck by a blunt iron weapon.
Splash…!
Yet crimson blood fountained forth, and the opponent collapsed.
He wasn’t dead.
Knowing this, Almond rushed forward and kicked the blade deeper into the enemy’s body.
Squelch!
[Almond → Eternal Bronze]
[Eliminated!]
[98/100]
-Wow lmaooo
-Damn he’s so ruthless lol
-That’s insane! Almond!
-That’s actually insane! Almond!
-lmao no mercy for real lol
-If I was his opponent that’d be horrifying ngl lol
-He never lets anything slide lol Just like our major professor.
-Dude, can you play the game a little more casually?!
“They’re probably about to open it again now.”
Almond pulled out the blade he’d stabbed in and quickly turned back toward the rooftop door, hurling the knife with a swift motion.
Just as Almond predicted, the player who had been attacked first was getting up and opening the rooftop door again.
Whoosh!
A silver object streaked through the air, spraying red blood once more.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
The opponent screamed, clutching their arm.
The blade Almond had thrown without even looking had severed their hand.
Not a clean cut either—it was ragged and mangled.
Wow, it’s so annoying when they tell you beforehand and then throw it ㅠㅠ
-Crazy lol
-Everything’s in Almond’s palm~ that’s what I mean.
-Just watching him play looks like he’s a veteran. How many matches is this for him?
-That’s an injury verdict. Even with that cheap blade?
-No, from the start it’s an injury… there’s no fun playing like this.
Injury verdict.
Not death, but practically equivalent to it. When an arm is severed or a state of combat incapacity equivalent to that occurs, it’s judged as an “injury.”
This couldn’t be recovered from without a first-aid kit-grade healing item.
“Ugh… what, what the hell! Why are you doing this from the start…!”
With his arm severed, he collapsed to the ground.
He’d given up on the game. Almond, who had approached by then, delivered the final blow.
“I need to hurry up.”
Slash!
The cheap blade severed the neck, and the head rolled across the armory rooftop.
[Almond → ReallyGonnaWin]
[Double Kill!]
[97/100]
-What’s with that nickname lol
-Damn! That’s refreshing!
-That nickname is hilarious as hell lmaooo
-If he’s like that from the start, I really don’t wanna play lol
-So there’s only one rooftop team member left? lol
-Next!
The last remaining player gripped his sword clumsily, trembling uncontrollably.
“P-please don’t come….”
-Wait, isn’t he way too immersed in this? lol
-Hey! This is just a game! Come at me!
-That’s why they’re Stones….
-They sure know how to have fun with games lol
-Stones members really do enjoy their games lol
Though it was virtual reality, my opponent seemed crushed by the overwhelming pressure I radiated.
Pitter-patter.
He began sprinting desperately toward the rooftop railing.
“…!?”
I followed right after him.
Whoosh──
“H-haaaaah!”
My opponent jumped downward with all his strength.
Thud!
He landed with a heavy impact.
“Ugh…!”
His legs took damage, but he’d saved his life… or so he thought.
A strange shadow fell from above.
Boom.
A heavy weight crushed down on both shoulders.
“Gasp!?”
What landed on his shoulders were my two feet.
Thump!
“Ack!”
My opponent, already straining his legs, shifted into an ‘injured’ state and collapsed.
“D-dammit!”
With only his upper body able to move, he grabbed his sword.
But I was faster.
I raised my blade with both hands and drove it down with all my weight onto the crown of his head.
Squelch!
My opponent’s eyes rolled back, trembling violently.
[Almond → JetPumpedCorpse]
[Triple Kill!]
[96/100]
Only after checking the kill log did Almond dismount from his opponent’s shoulders.
-Wow, that’s insane
-Every time he plays, it’s a superplay….
-He’s gone mad. Is this round going to be easy too?
Since his opponent’s body had absorbed all the impact instead, Almond sustained almost no damage to his own body.
He climbed onto a motorcycle parked in one corner of the Armory with his body in pristine condition.
Vroom—
The motorcycle moved toward the Armory.
“I’ll finish looting the Armory.”
-There should be kids inside though?
-Yeah, wasting time seems like it’ll put us at a disadvantage….
-Just go somewhere else!
There were probably already several inside holding guns.
While he was fighting three enemies on the rooftop earlier, the enemies might have been farming.
However….
“Doesn’t matter.”
Almond simply rode the motorcycle toward the Main Gate.
For Almond, it made little difference whether users at this rank were holding guns or laser swords.
Rolling his shoulders to loosen them, Almond revved the engine roughly once.
Vrrrrroom!!
He charged into the Armory.
