The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 188
62. The Well (2)
“He’s returned from the depths of hell! Almond!!!”
-What is happening
-Resurrecting like a beast lmao
-What?
-The Nut Fans returning from hell
-lmaooo that’s legendary
-Oh this is the trick the Vikings used back then lol
Almond, whom everyone thought was dead, suddenly sprang to his feet and drew his bowstring taut.
“Balaaaaa!!!”
With King Gul’s resounding cry, the head of Upla, one of the Three Bows, exploded.
“This is the psychological warfare the Vikings used to employ! And Almond is deploying it right now!?”
It was a mind game the Vikings had once used against ranged soldiers.
The trick exploited a simple fact: in close combat, you immediately confirm whether your opponent is dead, but at range, you cannot.
Since few besides the Vikings employed this tactic, Persia likely never imagined it would be used against them.
“Ah! Look at Kenin’s expression right now! His jaw is practically touching the ground!!”
-Why are you commentating on his face lol
-lmaooo
-Kyaa
-Now that’s the good stuff~
“He looks like he’s seen a ghost!?”
Kenin’s face bore the expression of someone who had genuinely witnessed a specter.
Almond was drawing his bowstring toward him.

* * *
My colleague’s head exploded.
Behind it, a hellish enemy appeared.
Kenin’s jaw naturally dropped wide open.
I had never even imagined that thug would use such a trick, pretending to be dead.
‘Then Upla’s arrow didn’t hit!?’
Upla’s arrow from before had barely missed.
The moment he saw the arrow narrowly pass by, he immediately made such a judgment and fell as if dead.
Such monstrous judgment was only possible for those Vikings who constantly used such deceptions, and especially their veterans.
‘Ah. Vikings.’
That was it.
The civilization that thug had faced just before was Vikings.
Then it made at least some sense.
But what good does that do? It’s already too late. That understanding won’t solve this situation.
The thug’s arrow tip was aimed at me, and I wasn’t prepared at all.
I had only just turned my head to confirm the enemy’s presence.
Unless that thug missed me, I was a dead man.
In a fleeting moment, this entire chain of thoughts flashed through my mind.
‘Still…!’
My eyes blazed with determination.
If I die here, how long would I have to wait for resurrection?
Resurrection always proceeds in order.
Considering the Barbarian Soldiers who just died, the Archers’ resurrection turn would be much later.
If that happens, Persia has no hope.
‘No matter how well you shoot, you can’t predict the future.’
I gritted my teeth and twisted my body, rolling desperately to the ground.
Dodge like before. The only way to survive that thug’s arrows is through such sudden movements.
“Huh…!”
Rolling across the ground, I felt relief wash over me.
I’m still alive.
That means the thug’s arrow missed.
But was that really the case?
‘Huh?’
Questioning myself, I couldn’t help but feel confused. I hadn’t heard the sound of an arrow missing.
I hadn’t even heard the sound of it being shot.
‘What?’
That was it.
No arrow was coming.
A delay of about 0.1 seconds, but I could instinctively sense it.
‘This insane….’
He was deliberately shooting late.
‘To see how I’d dodge!?’
Kenin’s eyes bulged as if they might burst from his skull.
Whether it was rage or astonishment.
He couldn’t distinguish between them.
One thing was certain.
His pride had been thoroughly crushed.
Because he sensed it—being called the strongest archer in this game would end just one second ago, marking the final moment of that title.
It was visible even from this distance.
The head of my colleague tumbling as he fell, and beyond the fountain of my colleague’s blood, the enemy’s lips curling upward in a smile.
‘Smiling?’
He was laughing.
And muttering something, he released the bowstring.
‘!’
Twang—
The arrow was loosed.
Kenin, having already thrown his body once, was losing precious seconds as he struggled to rise and run again.
His hands thrashed desperately through empty air, his feet stamped against the ground. But his feet slid across the dirt as if he’d stepped on oil, unable to generate any momentum for a leap.
Of course, Kenin understood.
That this would happen anyway.
One who had already thrown himself once could not dodge a second time.
‘Even if I can’t predict the future….’
I could wait for the future and then shoot.
Kiiiiing…!
White light suddenly flooded his vision, searing away his sight.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
A resonant roar erupted, and the ground trembled.
This cry was certainly not from Persia.

* * *
“That’s it! Almond! Almooooond!!”
King Gul shot to his feet, his face flushed with intensity, and roared.
“Persian Archers! Annihilated!!!”
Boom──!
As if his slamming the table was a signal, the audience erupted in a deafening roar.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
-Insane
-Crazy
-Persia destroyed like dogs
-This is it
-So~~ satisfying~~
“Ah! Kenin! Is this how the supposedly strongest archer meets their end!?”
“Yes. The final moments were quite pathetic, weren’t they!?”
Kenin flailed his limbs in the air before rolling in the dirt in a disgraceful death.
-Hahahahahaha
-For real lol
-Almond’s devilish smile lol was that intentional??
-Waiting then shooting is legendary
-Kenin throwing himself alone is hilarious lol
-Almond’s judgment is insane
-Real talk he literally toyed with him before killing lol
-Master of disrespect
While Korean spectators were engulfed in euphoria, the Persian audience had fallen completely silent, like ghosts.
It was truly a shocking sight.
“I’ve been wanting to say this! Now I finally can! Almond has properly established the hierarchy!!”
Caster was right.
Persia, who had boasted of being the strongest in individual archer skill, had now met Joseon and been properly put in their place.
“Ah, no! This really is establishing hierarchy! It was so overwhelming! I think Kenin will be buying bread after the match ends!?”
-Lol what
-Lmao
-Is that all lol
-Buying bread lol
-Just bread
-That’s too much lol
“Are you certain!? King Gul!?”
“Ah, yes! I would have done the same! I did that to Jeon-ja-pa!? I bought him orange juice!?”
-Why though lol
-Fact) Orange juice is real
-Tangerine juice lol
-If you want to survive, there’s no other choice~
-That wasn’t intentional sacrifice lol
“Ah. By the way, Kebab Ninja. From what I know, Almond enjoys peanut crumble bread.”
-How do you even know that
-Must’ve watched Zombie School lol
-Lol taste connoisseur
Even that one’s eating nuts too, lol
While the commentators were noisily celebrating Almond’s victory, Joseon swept through Persia’s main base with ease.
Elifer’s expression visibly darkened the moment he realized the forest archers had been completely annihilated.
“Ah, Elifer! His expression is absolutely fierce!?”
“Yes, at this rate, it looks like there’s barely anything left!?”
“You said Elifer’s face turns red when he’s angry! Right now he’s practically a tomato!”
“I think he’s about to turn purple! He should stop at tomato. If he becomes an eggplant, it might affect the next match!?”
Joseon seized the moment and continued pushing the archers forward relentlessly.
“Ah. The Joseon Archers! It seems they received some signal! They’re charging into the defense tower very boldly!?”
Once a certain number of archers had accumulated, they advanced fearlessly even toward the defense tower.
Though some archers fell, they succeeded in intercepting the workers inside.
“Persia is in even more trouble. This… ah… and on top of that, a calamity approaches!”
-Lololol Almond’s here too
Oh right, they’re coming too lol
-Loss of morale lol
Almond had entered the main base.
Pangeo, Danggeun, and the rest of his companions were shocked speechless that he had returned alive.
“Wow. Just looking at this, I think something’s about to come out, right?”
The moment Elifer spotted Almond.
[Surrender]
He raised the white flag.
The commentators jumped up as if they’d been waiting for this moment and shouted.
“Zhuuuuu! Zhuuuuuuu!!!”
-GG
-GGGG
-Archer meta lolol
-GG
-And they won
-Insane
-Won a match before the chicken delivery arrived
-Bontovi wins
Joseon had won not only against Viking but also the first match of the Persia series.
“Joseon! Led the first match to victory! Ah… this makes you wonder if Joseon is really the underdog now? I’d say they won this one much more cleanly than the Viking match, wouldn’t you?”
“That’s right. By choosing the archer meta, it became a direct head-to-head skill battle with the Persian Archers. And just…! Almond was simply better!”
-For real lol
-This guy’s just naturally talented
-???: Mom! My elephant turned into Almond!
-We didn’t even see an elephant
“It’s as if Almond is showing us who the true greatest archer really is!”
“Yes! Honestly, if you watch this match! Almond is clearly above Kenin, right? No, not just Kenin—he took down all of Persia’s elite archers! Every single one! By himself!”
“Yes. As you’re speaking! That highlight moment! Here it comes! Let’s watch it together from Almond’s perspective, shall we!?”
The highlight began streaming across the broadcast screen.
It started from the very beginning when Almond took down the eight archers.
[One]
Thwack!
Almond counts as he drops the first one.
“Ah. I see Almond is counting right now?”
“Um… why is he counting?”
The counting continued after that.
[Three]
[Four]
“Wow…”
“Either way, it’s art! Even watching it again!”
Almond pursuing his enemies and dropping them one by one.
Even though it was a scene already shown, because it was presented in first-person perspective, the audience watched as if entranced.
[Eight of them, huh? I should tell Danggeun about this.]
And then, the final scene appeared.
“…Ah! The scene where he catches Kenin! ‘Eight of them, huh?’ What does that even mean!?”
-For real
-What was that?
-Lmao
-This guy’s just weird
-Don’t try to understand it lol
“Why would he tell Danggeun!? Could it be he was counting while killing them to figure out how many enemies there were? But what’s the point if he kills them all anyway?”
-Lmao
-For real
-To show off
-Danggeun is Almond’s external hard drive lol
-What good is knowing after they’re dead lol
-No way
“There was a report that he muttered something again when he fired that last shot. We might be able to uncover the secret then!”
-No way lol
-Lmao
-Hahahaha
-If it’s the Nut Fans, then it’s a possible idea
“Yes. Right now, this last shot… no wait! A fake!”
“Wow! Just one perfect fake like that and then shooting! This is art! It’s like when I played Rubisword in Ril! It feels like watching that moment─”
All questions about why I was counting numbers vanished the moment I fired that final arrow.
[Chiki-cha]
“!?”
“Huh?”
The secret behind why I was counting numbers never came to light.
But I could at least understand why I had eliminated Kenin in such a humiliating manner.
“Ch-chiki-cha!? Isn’t this that thing? The one Almond kept shouting during the Nant match!?”
“Ah… yes. That’s right! But this is something you usually do when there’s some grudge involved!?”
-That was insane chiki-cha lolololol
-Wow, chiki-cha after so long
-Chiki-cha~ chiki-cha~
-Now they won’t even say it was what Mosol used to shout lolol
-Keep using this because we got on Mosol’s nerves lol
-Mosol cries today too
-That’s some crazy pettiness for real
-So it was chiki-cha lololol
In the end, they could never figure out why I was counting numbers.

* * *
Meanwhile, numerous posts were flooding the community about this match.
Compared to what happened in the forest, public opinion had naturally flipped 180 degrees.
Big) So we were just frogs in a well after all…
It was only ten minutes ago that such comments were being posted on the Big board.
[Just a well~]
[^well^]
[Talking about wells and wells and then getting completely destroyed? lol]
And as if pushing “well” as a term to disparage Almond, similar posts kept being generated.
But now it was different.
-You idiots lolololol
-Talking crap lolol
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. The Korean characters appear to be incomplete or use only consonants/vowel placeholders (ㅇㅈㄹ) rather than forming complete words, making it impossible to translate accurately.
-Forced meme, hate it
-The game doesn’t progress because of guys like this
-So that frog was Naruto~
The original post received 347 comments, with all sorts of insults hurled at the author.
Now posts like this dominated the top.
Big) The well knows the answer
When I clicked into this post, there was a single photo uploaded.
