The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 78
28. Jansen VS Almond (1)
[Current status of those who went to snipe Almond.jpg]
Hahaha, are those the bastards who said they were going to snipe earlier?
“Ah, what kind of nonsense is this about five brothers? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
Lol those pathetic gods are so marinated in inferiority complex they take shots at people and then run away lol
“Lol the 5 Mercer brothers, these guys are gonna be preserved forever in issue posts”
Five people who declared in the Community ‘Baera31′ that they were going to snipe Almond.
Those who thought they would become heroes suddenly became the 5 Idiot Brothers.
They confidently charged out, and two of them died right at the start, so it was understandable.
[Still unclear how this will turn out]
Of course, there were comments like this too.
It’s not like all of them are dead yet. There are still 3 left, and this is an armory. Etc…
It seemed to be written by one of the eliminated Colleagues.
Hahaha, yes, you’re next, sniper~
-Yeah~ Are you the youngest of the 5 brothers? Go fetch some water, you punk~
└Hahahahaha
└Military service complete! Bang bang!
-Dude how will this turn out, seriously, why do only you not know? Everyone else knows.
└The other 3 brothers probably know too
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Though they said it was unclear, everyone knew, just like the comments said.
[Recurve Bow]
When the Champion Goblin, who had been holding a bunch of bows, died to Almond, the lifespan of this snipe squad had already ended.
“Huh? They’re running away.”
Even the 3 brothers sensed defeat and began to flee.
However, this is an armory.
Getting in is easy, but getting out isn’t so simple.
“M-Move out of the way!”
“Damn it. What the hell, these bastards!”
“Ugh!”
Instead of facing Almond, they had to confront players who were fighting fiercely at the entrance to the basement storage.
In the meantime, an arrow lodges itself in someone’s head.
Thunk!
[Almond → YourFault]
[Eliminated!]
[83/100]
Hahaha, one guy’s out right away!
Already two brothers lol
I’m dying laughing hahahaha
—that’s it.
—picking out exactly one head from all those people lol
Watching my colleague collapse in a pathetic heap, the rest of them startled and hid their bodies in the crowd.
“D-dammit!”
But Almond merely tilted his head in confusion.
“What are you doing? You think I can’t shoot you if you hide there?”
Twang—
He drew the bowstring without hesitation and released.
Thunk!
“Gasp!”
An arrow struck the body of a player standing in front of where the 2 Brothers were hiding.
But Almond didn’t care and kept firing in rapid succession.
A recurve bow allowed for much more fluid rapid fire.
Thwack! Thwack!
[Almond → NovelTakakisang]
[Eliminated!]
[82/100]
An innocent player had been killed.
But what did it matter?
“Half water, half meat, I suppose.”
Everyone here was an enemy anyway, and they all had to die.
That’s why I entered the armory.
—lololol
—since they all have to die anyway, you can just shoot everyone lol
—like bandits hiding behind civilians lololol
—but the problem is they’re all bandits lol
—just shoot anyone!
Almond began indiscriminately shooting and eliminating them one by one.
The arrows showed no signs of running out, and I had already taken control of the 2nd Floor.
“Ugh!”
“…Hack!”
With each breath, another one fell.
It was like a horror movie.
“T-there’s an archer on the 2nd Floor!”
“We have to kill that one first!”
The 2 Brothers began rallying their forces.
Since Almond had struck first, they had to eliminate him first.
Surprisingly, that rally actually worked.
“Argh!”
One person grazed by Almond’s arrow burst out in frustration.
The arrow that should have struck the 2 Brothers’ head had hit my shoulder instead, but I couldn’t help burning with fury at Almond, who had fired it directly.
“Die, you bastard!”
Whoosh!
I hurled my blade at Almond.
The other players did the same.
They either threw their swords at Almond or countered with their bows in kind.
“Eliminate him first!”
“Damn! That mosquito of a bastard!”
Up to a dozen players directed their hostility toward Almond.
Yet Almond evaded them all with ease.
The blades they threw merely scraped the innocent warehouse wall.
“K-kill him!”
“See? He’s no joke! We need to take care of that bastard first!”
“Ugh!”
It was an astonishing sight.
Almond’s gameplay was so overwhelmingly dominant that every other player had formed a team against him.
-Wait, is this teaming too?
-It’s ambiguous lol
-Honestly, fair play is tough when facing Almond~
-Wow, this is disgusting in Battle Rage!
The enemies drew out the weapons they each carried.
Shing.
Countless blades sang out with a chilling sound.
‘Should I run?’
There were roughly eleven enemies.
Even for Almond, facing all of them at once was impossible.
The bow’s firing rate had its limits.
‘If only the firing rate were faster…’
I always wished the bow’s firing rate were faster.
In Kingdom Age, there was a separate skill called ‘Rapid Fire’ that allowed rapid shooting without special hand technique.
Battle Rage was different. There was no skill system.
To rapid-fire a bow, you needed special hand technique unique to each user.
-Just give up
-This is impossible
-Real talk, a bow won’t work. Bring grenades instead.
-Unless you had a fire cart lol
-Give up give up give up
The viewers recommended I flee.
But a certain video flashed through Almond’s mind.
A video I had seen when I was young.
‘Should I give that a try?’
I once saw a European man performing archery tricks on Ollytube, back in the day.
「Real archery used in ancient warfare!」
That was the title of the video.
It was archery with a completely different feel from sport archery. Not flashy at all, didn’t look complicated, yet the rate of fire was insanely fast, efficient, and devastatingly powerful.
Literally the archery used in war. A highly refined killing technique.
It was the kind of technique that would set any man’s heart ablaze.
Back then, I was fascinated by it and practiced a few times, but couldn’t do it properly because of the Coach’s nagging and the limitations of a sport archery bow.
‘Can I do it now?’
But what about now?
Now I don’t have a sport archery bow—I have a recurve bow from ancient times.
And there’s no Coach to nag me.
Besides, this is a game. Movements far more absurd than what’s possible for me in reality are feasible here.
And I’m in peak condition right now.
‘I think I can do it. With this condition.’
Let me just try following what I remember.
First, I need to grip all the arrows in my right hand. I fit one in each finger gap, holding about four total.
‘I hold the arrows in the hand gripping the bowstring.’
This was the foundation of rapid fire.
Rather than drawing from a quiver, or holding them in my left hand or in my mouth.
For a skilled archer, this was five times faster or more.
Almond was far from being skilled, of course, but my eyes already gleamed with certainty.
When it came to the bow, I was a genius who could transcend any amount of experience.
‘Here it comes.’
Whoosh! A sword came flying from below.
Four arrows first. The number matched perfectly.
Grriiik──
I drew the bowstring.
The first arrow gripped in my right hand’s finger gap was nocked.
Click.
The sound of a proper nock.
I’d passed the first hurdle. Fitting the arrow to the string with such an awkward hand position was itself the challenge, but it was easier than expected.
And from here on, it was the same.
My signature ghostly release.
Twang!
The arrow flew without warning and struck the incoming sword.
Clang…!
The sword fell limply through the air.
‘Next.’
Immediately, I nocked the arrow from the next finger gap.
And I fired.
Pang!
A speed incomparable to drawing arrows one by one from the quiver.
Clang!
Another incoming sword was intercepted mid-air.
From this point on, the rate of fire was already extraordinary.
‘Next.’
Almond immediately nocked an arrow from the next finger tab and released the bowstring.
Pang!
The third weapon fell from the air.
Pang!
The fourth weapon also fell from the air, struck by the arrow that followed immediately after.
All four weapons were intercepted.
-What, what is this?
-Gasp
Damn, that’s crazy.
-How many arrows flew at once?
To the casual observer, it appeared as though four arrows had been fired simultaneously without any delay.
Pababang!
Four arrows were fired in rapid succession with the sound.
Moreover, every arrow that was fired struck the opponent’s weapon.
“Again.”
Almond drew four arrows at once with his right hand’s finger tab.
Grrrrk──
This time it was even faster than before.
Full draw followed by the release.
Pang!
The arrow struck the enemy’s head directly.
Thud!
“Gasp!”
Before that enemy even fell.
Pang!!!
Another arrow flew.
Thwack!
Another enemy died.
Pang!
Pang!!
Two arrows flew at a speed that could be called nearly simultaneous.
Two more enemies’ heads were pierced.
[Almond → Omen]
[Eliminated!]
[79/100]
[Almond → diyoe09]
[Eliminated!]
[78/100]
[Almond → loyman2]
[Eliminated!]
[77/100]
[Almond → Honeybee3]
[Eliminated!]
[76/100]
“….”
The first-floor players opposing Almond were left stunned.
Four thrown weapons were intercepted mid-air, and the four who had thrown them fell dead.
Precisely those four perished.
‘Just… with a bow, such a play?’
‘What is this?’
‘Is this even possible!?’
A feat difficult even with assault rifles, yet accomplished with a bow.
Truly superhuman gameplay.
And this was Almond’s assessment of it.
“Oh… not bad.”
That was all.
Hahahahaha… oh…
-Oh….
-Ohhhhh….
-Ohhhhhh
Hahaha what’s with the chat lol
-Ohhhhhhh
-Omen.
While the “Oh” disciples in chat were throwing out amens.
He drew four more arrows with his right hand interlocked.
Pababang!
Four more arrows from Almond flew in an instant.
The rate of fire grew faster and faster.
He was growing accustomed to it by the moment.
“Ugh!”
“Argh!”
“Kgh!”
Without even checking the kill log, he immediately drew four more arrows.
Four arrows cleaved through the sky in near-perfect simultaneity.
Not a single one went to waste.
Thwack!
Precisely four more enemies fell.
-Insane, how many kills is that
-18 kills right off the bat lololol
-This is crazy lololol
-Is this an armory or what lololol
-Wow.
-Here, this is arrow hell!!
-Gotta give credit to the Champion Goblin too honestly lololol arrows are basically infinite lololol
If I burned through arrows this heavily at the start, they’d run out in no time.
But for me, arrows were something I had in abundance.
It was all thanks to the Champion Goblin, who’d dropped both bow and arrows before dying.
Pow-pow-pow-pow!
After the final four-shot volley was released.
Only silence filled the armory that had been so chaotic.
“Quiet now, isn’t it?”
-So, how was it? My assassination.
-Five Muzzers assassinated successfully! lololol
-Ohhh….
-I believe in you. Omen….
-Go to hell. Omen.
-Ohhhhh….
It was truly a scene that naturally drew out amens.
If arrows fell instead of rain during monsoon season, would it look like this? This place was hell itself.
[Nut Disciple donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[This is… sacred. Omen.]
[Pray donated ‘5,000 won’.]
[Let’s make a donation.]
[Rubisword donated ‘10,000 won’!]
[It’s suddenly become a church? I, I think I entered the wrong broadcast lololololol]
“Ah. Thank you. Nut Disciple, Pray. Rubisword, you’ve come to the right place. You set a mission earlier anyway, didn’t you?”
-lololololololol Rubisword’s cute
-lololol Sets a mission then plays dumb!
-lololololol lol
-Just let that slide, Almond!
[Sniper donated ‘1,000 won’.]
[But hey. Can you tell which two of those guys who sniped you earlier are which?]
“Ah….”
At the sudden question, Almond hesitated for a moment.
“I have no idea. Who is that?”
-This is insane lol
-Died without even leaving a name behind lol
-Wow, that’s rough lol
-I seriously don’t know who that is lol
-There are so many corpses lol
The result of the 5 Brothers’ desperate sniping was devastating.
They hadn’t even managed to imprint their usernames into the viewers’ minds.
“Well. Should I go in here now?”
The cheerful atmosphere was short-lived.
Staring at the entrance to the underground warehouse shrouded in pitch-black darkness, I felt a sense of unease.
I didn’t know how many had gone in here, but there were probably survivors.
And he must have completed an absurd amount of farming.
-For real lol…
-Let’s just bail lol
-A monster’s going to come out of there!
-There might be a power suit. Then it’s really hopeless
-Just run!
If I simply fled far away and planned for later, I could at least defend my ranking.
But if I completely cleared the armory here, I could aim for first place.
‘I want to get first place.’
Almond wanted to aim for first place.
Then──
Boom!
A thunderous sound echoed from the underground.
Boom!
It was definitely coming from below.
-From the sound of it, that’s definitely a power suit
Let’s just bail ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Come on, you cowards, don’t you trust Almond?
Sure enough, there was a survivor.
Almond pulled up the kill log to check.
[Jansen → 007jond]
[Jansen → Orinpattai]
[Jansen → Doraibong]
[Jansen → Ssemelieres]
…Countless names kept appearing.
Jansen.
“Ah, so that motorcycle from earlier survived after all.”
It was the same person who had initially tried to run down Almond with a motorcycle.
Judging from the kill log, he had already slaughtered everything inside, and was climbing up with farming optimized to the highest tier.
The roaring grew steadily closer.
Boom──
