The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 227
75. The Crime of Leaving the Island (1)
Honda charged forward at tremendous speed, and in this battle alone, he was certain of the swordsmen’s victory.
‘The distance has already closed completely, and they’ll fall with every swing of my blade.’
Yet his expression wasn’t particularly pleased.
Even if Japan won, the road ahead remained long.
One assistant commander, swordsmen, barbarian soldiers—how many had been sacrificed in total?
Even victory wouldn’t truly be a victory.
Only if we could maintain the lake’s advantage consistently would we truly win.
But when the road ahead was already so long, even the path his blade carved forward was suddenly blocked by someone.
Clang!
It was Spam.
“Don’t falter!”
Spam blocked the sword with her bowstring, and in that same motion, she drew the string taut.
Creak.
‘What? Here?’
Whoosh—!
Honda’s pupils dilated. He hadn’t expected her to attempt a shot from such close range.
But that wasn’t all.
‘The others too!’
The ones he thought had fallen were drawing their strings even as they lay on the ground.
They were all targeting him.
He instantly retreated, arching his neck backward with all his strength.
Whoosh!
The arrows grazed past the tip of his nose.

* * *
“…!?”
Spam stared in bewilderment, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
‘No… wait. Did he just dodge right in front of me? All of them?’
I couldn’t believe he’d evaded attacks fired from this distance.
Not just Spam’s arrows, but everyone’s.
The pinnacle of agility incarnate.
Despair.
My opponent tilted his head back, eyes downcast, wearing an expression that seemed to ask, ‘Is it my turn now?’
Gulp.
Spam froze in that instant, unable to move.
The moment his blade came crashing down again─
“!?”
I thought it was over, but the sword’s trajectory bent.
──Twang!
“!”
An arrow had pierced his arm.
“Almond!”
It was Almond.
He walked slowly from a distance, continuing to fire arrows.
‘Perfect no-look… he can keep shooting!’
Almond was far from this position.
In this entire battle, he was the only one who could shoot like a true archer.
Twang!
Boom!
His arrows continued striking the Japanese forces.
Several swordsmen fell or had to retreat.
“Almond’s here! Hold on!”
Spam’s morale surged back.
The archers who had cowered began to move again.
“Haaaaaaah! Let’s go!”
Pekorino, who had been sprawled on the ground, grabbed his sword and swung it wildly.
Clang clang clang!
In that moment of quick thinking, the swordsmen had no choice but to fall back.
“Nice!”
Ratte drew his bow in all directions, firing frantically.
Pew pew pew pew!
He’d shot about four arrows, but in his haste, three went wide.
Instead, Almond’s arrows flew in to fill those gaps.
Spam shouted, pressing his back against his ally’s.
“Take your time and shoot!”
“How can we do that!?”
Back to back, they fired arrows as enemies closed in, but.
“Ugh…!”
Still, we remained at a disadvantage.
The archers were dying far too quickly.
Just now, two more fell.
No, three.
“Hack!”
Pekorino’s head flew off as he swung his sword.
He had absolutely no talent with the blade.
“Damn it…!”
Spam shot down the swordsman who had struck Pekorino.
Thwang!
A direct hit to the head.
Yet he did not fall.
An arrow from a short bow without focused intent couldn’t take down a headshot in one strike.
Clang.
The swordsman raised his blade toward Spam.
Thwang!
Almond’s arrow pierced through his throat.
“Yeah, nice!”
Only then did the swordsman finally collapse.
But from the opposite side, another swordsman swung his blade at Ratte.
“Argh!”
Ratte rolled across the ground, barely dodging the sword.
“Don’t roll!”
“One hit and it’s over! What do you expect me to do!?”
There was simply no way to avoid the wildly swinging blades any longer.
If I lay down, the future was clear. But it was a desperate struggle to survive one more turn.
Sure enough, the blade’s tip descended toward the fallen Ratte.
Whoosh──
“Hup!”
──Clang!
What?
Someone’s back blocked Ratte’s vision.
It was Spam.
He had deflected the sword with his bowstring.
“Yeah, nice! Super save!”
Ratte scrambled to his feet and fired, while Spam drew his string taut once more at close range and released.
Thwack!
Two arrows struck in succession, and the swordsman fell.
But another swordsman rushed at me from behind.
Whoosh.
[Attack]
My reaction was swift.
I spun around and fired at him immediately.
Clang!
But the swordsman deflected my arrow.
‘This bastard?’
That thug from before. Honda.
The moment he knocked the arrow aside, his blade came at me like a viper.
Clang!
I blocked it again with my bowstring.
‘The durability….’
My bow’s durability was severely damaged.
“Huff… gasp.”
Ratte covered my rear, and Almond’s arrows flew from a distance again.
Whoosh!
Yet he evaded them with uncanny grace.
‘Will this work?’
I thought amid the chaos.
The swordsmen clashed again, turning the formation into complete disorder.
More archers fell.
The formation was a mess. The distance had closed entirely.
Almond was the only one still firing from outside.
I just had to hold out in close combat until he finished them all.
‘Right. Almond said I’d become ham….’
He definitely said that.
That I could win in close combat too.
That I’d become him.
I fight believing in that one thing.
But this thought also crosses my mind.
‘Damn it… am I just becoming ham!?’
It feels like only Almond is becoming something.
These bastards weren’t ordinary. They didn’t reach first place by defeating the Ottomans for nothing.
I did my best, but before long─
‘Again?’
Crack!
My bow shattered, and the final blade descended upon me.
‘Another one.’
Honda.
‘Where’s Ratte?’
Ratte was also sprawled on the ground.
A blade hung over him as well.
It was as good as finished.
‘But….’
Why had Almond stopped providing covering fire?
He’d been shooting continuously.
That was when it happened.
Boom!
“!?”
In an instant, an arrow lodged itself in Honda’s skull.
He couldn’t react.
‘He’s dead!?’
It was clearly reflected in Spam’s widely dilated pupils.
Honda’s head exploding outward in a crimson spray.
The arrow, infused with concentrated focus, burned white-hot as it pierced through.
‘He charged it for three seconds!’
It was Almond’s arrow.
Spam threw his body sideways with all his strength, shoving the swordsman away.
“N-now’s the time!”
Ratte also rolled his body desperately, firing his bow as a final act of defiance.
Whoooosh…!
The arrow trembled as it flew through the air.
It struck precisely into the falling swordsman’s head.
──Boom!
“Gasp… Ugh… W-where!?”
Spam’s eyes trembled as they took in the surroundings.
No orders were given, and there were no footsteps from the swordsmen, no shouts, not even breathing.
“Huff, gasp….”
“Ha… Ha….”
Ratte’s breathing, his own breathing.
And still the sound of Almond’s footsteps rushing toward them.
‘Wait… Could it be….’
They were all dead.
There were no Japanese soldiers left alive.
They hadn’t broken through the encirclement—they’d killed them all.
That was the moment.
His ears suddenly went deaf.
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
The roar of the audience.
And Almond, rushing toward me.
He spreads both arms wide, grinning broadly.
“Ah, Almond ham….”
Only then did Spam realize it.
There’s no way he’d take that stance if the game hadn’t ended.
[VICTORY]
That’s right.
Japan had surrendered.
Ratte and Spam embrace each other, and Almond leaps onto them from above.
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
The three of them roared with all their might.

* * *
“Ju! Juuuuuuuuuuu!!!”
“Joseon! Rather than breaking through the encirclement! They just tore it apart! That’s why surrender came immediately!!”
-What the
-They’ve lost it
-Is this Joseon?
Hahahaha and/with
-Went crazy at the end
-True to form, the legendary ham Spam
Joseon’s victory.
The resounding cheers proclaimed this fact to the entire world.
“In just 19 minutes of playtime! Joseon achieves a complete victory!? And a surrender at that!”
“There’s nothing more to play out! Japan had no hope! I held back my words for fear of being accused of bias! But truthfully, Japan! Even if they’d won that fight, it would’ve been difficult!?”
-For real
-Already a massively dominant situation
-Huge
-That’s right
-It was overwhelming, for real
-The gameplay was insane
“This is operational victory! The Choi Sun-sin style! You put up the stakes! I’ll play for free! That’s the strategy! Ringo played well too! But today’s match! This is truly the new Joseon! A strong Joseon! They showed it perfectly!”
“Yes! An explosive Joseon! Very impressive! And as you said, Japan’s play too! Building up! Building up! While calmly tightening the encirclement! It was truly breathtaking!?”
The highlight plays at that moment.
The beginning of the final battle.
“Yes! The highlight is showing now! We need to watch this carefully. The way Japan tightens the noose like this! It’s quite extraordinary!?”
When Honda entered, the minimap scene was zoomed in.
“As you can see, the positioning was already opening a path from the start.”
“Ah…! What… No, could it be? Two Barbarian Soldiers splitting apart?”
Before Honda enters, he spreads out the archers’ aim points.
“Yes. He’s creating a gap in their field of vision, isn’t he?”
“Ah… Not even moving them! Just by spreading out their vision alone! The swordsman can penetrate through!?”
That was it.
If the archers’ aim was simply spread to both sides, the swordsman found it easy to penetrate.
-Wow
-Scary
-And in the midst of all this?
-So damn scary
The build-up is crazy.
-The detail is insane
“With such meticulous buildup like this, those on the receiving end couldn’t understand how they managed to penetrate so easily!”
No one caught the moment when Honda rolled in.
In an instant, a scene plays out where he draws his blade and lands consecutive strikes, killing three of them.
-Slaughter
-Wow
-Broken
“The Cruel Blade faction activates here in truly brutal fashion. Even if you don’t swing the blade all the way through, an additional 20% radius is added!”
“Exactly. Even if you don’t cut all the way, that attack completes itself. So you can immediately follow up with the next attack. From the receiving end’s perspective, it’s like getting cut twice in the time it takes to get cut once and a half.”
-Ah
-Oh…
The attack speed is getting faster lol
-Wow, the problem isn’t just that the radius expands into a splash effect
-It’s a broken faction damn it
-Apparently just swinging carelessly counts as a hit
“So right now, without time to respond, three consecutive cuts land and Pangeo and Danggeun fall one after another. But here, Spam blocks it!”
“Ah. The blocking scene! That was really amazing, right?”
-For real
-Went crazy
Master of close-range archery lol
Dongducheon ham fist wow
“Yes! But here, it doesn’t connect to a kill. Even shooting right in front of his nose!”
Whiiiiing…!
A scene of Spam’s arrow being evaded plays in slow motion.
-Is that a person?
-???
-Huh?
-Agility is broken
-Wow
“So this is agility? And this is how Japan trains? Once you recognize the pattern, you can evade it.”
“Ah… indeed, those are trained movements!”
“But!”
Now came the final moment.
Almond’s curved shot.
Realizing he couldn’t eliminate Honda with ordinary arrows, I waited for the precise instant, gathered three seconds of absolute focus, and delivered the decisive blow.
“Just like this! Suddenly unleashing a full three-second concentrated headshot!? That’s what Almond does, right?”
Boom!
King Gul suddenly jumped to his feet, thrusting his face toward the camera.
“What!? Bird buildup!? The senior players in the athlete village said it! We’re playing hollow football! All hollow inside! Everything we’ve built up until now—just one shot and it all goes poof!!!”
Thud.
Honda crumbled, and the highlight came to an end.
-His head size is insane
-We’re playing hollow football lol
-All hollow inside lolololol
-My heart aches…!
-Bird buildup lololol
-His head is literally a football field
-lol this is crazy lol
-Hollow football lololol
-They should be playing hollow football too lol
“Ah. Just a moment, please. Right now…”
It was at that moment.
Caster brought her hand to her ear as if receiving some news.
“Information just came in. Apparently the nature of the next match’s map has already been decided?”
“…!”
The second match hadn’t even begun preparations yet, and the map’s nature was already determined.
At first, everyone wondered what she meant.

* * *
At the same moment.
News spread across the community as well.
Joseon’s victory announcement came first.
[Breaking) Joseon wins Game 1]
[Wow 15-minute game lol]
Isn’t Japan just flexing its tech? lol
[Yi Sun-sin’s name and Japan getting wrecked, Choi Sa-rang looking like she’d ignore a KakaoTalk message—legendary moment in her life;]

And so on.
As various impressions about the victory and anticipation for the next match poured in,
[Breaking) Game 2 confirmed as sea map]
News came that the sea map had been confirmed.
After that, this post gained massive upvotes and was posted on the hot board.
Hot) Game 2 breaking news! Japan receives penalty!
A headline suddenly appeared saying Japan had received a penalty.
Before reading the post, most assumed it was a penalty for being late to the Round of 16.
However, the charge was completely different.
