The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 23
8. The Dokkaebi (2)
The path descending to the basement level.
Though I didn’t show it, Balloon Gum was consumed with worry.
‘From yokai onwards, the Monk becomes the primary dealer.’
I had already practiced and played through to a certain stage.
He knew the matchups against each mob in this game.
Thought entities and ghosts are the Shaman’s specialty, but yokai and dokkaebi are the Monk’s domain.
Either way, I had to finish them off, and Almond had to provide support otherwise.
‘From now on, I won’t be able to do it like this.’
Since Almond had been the main force until now, we could ignore cooperative mechanics and just break through, but that wouldn’t work anymore.
“From now on, I need to do something too, everyone.”
He announced his resolve through a channel only his viewers could hear.
Now I couldn’t just remain in a support role.
Balloon Gum had to show something too.
-?
-Why?
-Just stay put bro lol
-??
-Are you declaring war on Almond?
-Whoa
-Emergency!
Of course, the viewers were thinking the complete opposite of what he intended.
“No, why is doing something a declaration of war!”
-lololololol
-Asking because you don’t know? lol
-It’s a cooperative game and telling him not to do anything is hilarious
-Just stay still
-Why suddenly getting self-awareness? You’re Iron Ball;
These bastards…
Balloon Gum gritted his teeth but clarified the situation to his viewers.
“Everyone. That’s not it. The ones coming next need to be handled by the Monk. The roles are changing.”
-??
-Huh?
-For real?
-Wow
This game is going to be so hard ㅠㅠ
-Oh…
Those sweet days are all gone, damn it.
Ding.
[Kkeom Hunter donated 10,000 won!]
[If Balloon Gum is laying groundwork because he’s nervous about doing something, give him a thumbs up~]
Hahaha
-Thumbs up~
lol
-That’s it
-He’s hedging his bets
Ah hahaha
Just do it without showing off, or you’ll get cursed out lol
Ouch.
Perhaps because my streaming career is long, my viewers’ experience is equally extensive.
They see through my true intentions that quickly.
“Ugh, fine. I need to stream. Stream. I have to talk while doing it. If I just do it without saying anything, you’ll all complain that I’m not communicating!”
hahahaha
-Getting mad
Looks like I got it right since you’re getting mad lol
Ding.
Someone donates a message repeating what Almond had said.
[??? donated 5,000 won!]
[Just throw without talking, hyung.]
Armando’s prophecy is creepy
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
Why are you talking nonsense? lol
Hahahahaha
-Nice~ truly skilled gamer

* * *
[Theological University Basement Level 1]
Suyeon fell silent as if glitching after the Jibakryeong disappeared, unable to speak for quite some time.
She only opened her mouth after entering the basement level.
“Ugh. The atmosphere feels ominous.”
-Oh
-Finally lol
-Looks like something’s here from this point on
“There are exorcism weapons stored here by my club seniors. I need to retrieve at least one before we leave.”
She mentions the warehouse on the basement level once more.
It clearly seemed like an important location.
“Exorcism weapons? Like crosses?”
“No. Crosses have limited applications. Besides, there are different ones for each religion. You’re a shaman, aren’t you? There are things for shamans to use too.”
Almond looked puzzled.
“Everyone. No matter how I look at it, this exorcism club seems suspicious.”
-lololololol
-Here we go again
-The god of deduction lol
-But that is pretty blatantly suspicious
-For real lol
-Yeah~
The exorcism club that Suyeon belonged to did appear to be the root cause of all these incidents.
“They say incidents have occurred there… Do they normally have clubs like this at the theological university?”
To Almond’s mind, the existence of an occult club at a theology department where religion was studied didn’t make much sense.
Ding.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Ask her directly!]
-Lol ask and kill her
-The king of support as always lol
-Have you thought about it before doing it?
-Kek
-(Rubisword praise stream)
It was difficult to ignore what Rubisword said, given her sponsorship stake close to that of a chairperson.
“Ah. Maybe so.”
Almond switched the microphone channel.
“But Suyeon. Isn’t it the case that theology majors aren’t supposed to believe in other gods or anything like that?”
“I don’t believe in God?”
“…Ah.”
“I just matched my grades. Haha!”
Almond’s gaze naturally shifted to the Bible she was holding.
-Entrance exam pastor lol
-He matched his grades to get in lol
-Oh pastor is a fake job too lol
-So realistic…
-Judge, prosecutor, doctor, and pastor let’s go
-Better than retaking exams like Ryu Jung-hyuk lol
Suyeon continued with an explanation.
“Most importantly, our theology department studies all religious phenomena. We don’t just study one specific religion. It’s a kind of philosophy department.”
“Oh…”
So that’s what it was.
I had been thinking only of churches, the most common religion.
“So we’re just college students studying. Though employment prospects are pretty much nonexistent.”
Suyeon laughs awkwardly.
-lololol
ㅠㅠ (crying/tears)
-Can’t even get jobs so why match grades to go lol
-Ah…
-Can’t believe in God if you can’t eat
-Gasp
-All humanities majors are the same though?
-Philosophy majors are suffering…
At the mention of employment, the viewers’ pent-up frustrations flooded the chat, and donations started pouring in.
Ding.
[Plausibility donated 5,000 won.]
[It’s really suspicious that a department with nonexistent employment prospects hasn’t been merged or shut down yet! Let’s launch a tax investigation on the school foundation!]
As if representing the viewers’ sentiments, the donation was read in a voice that sounded incredibly angry.
That’s giving seizure vibes
-Sounds like the wronged female criminal voice from Detective Conan lol
-lol tax investigation lol
-For real lol
-Just watch lol
As I walked while listening to the viewers’ grievances.
“The storage room is here.”
Creak.
Suyeon opened the door and entered the storage room.
“Wow…!”
The storage room was stocked with all sorts of exorcism equipment.
A scale unimaginable for a demon-hunting club.
lol
-Is this Men in Black? lol
What is this place lol
-Yeah, something feels off
Why would there be a knife at school lol
“Wow… I, there were this many!?”
Suyeon, who was part of the club, looked equally surprised.
“But… where are the kids?”
Almond asked, seeming puzzled.
Well, Suyeon had said there could be kids on the basement level too.
They might have gotten trapped while going to retrieve weapons.
“It looks like they’ve already left. Should we gather our weapons first?”
“…Yeah. Alright.”
Almond examined weapons that appeared to be related to shamanism.
First was a long sword.
As he picked it up, a description appeared.
==== ====
[Demon-Subduing Sacred Blade]
A legendary divine sword used in the ritual ceremonies of shamans.
A blade capable of channeling spiritual power and affecting the spirit realm.
*Your current spiritual power is insufficient to become the owner of this weapon.
==== ====
“Ah… I can’t use this one.”
Almond set the sword down reluctantly and tried picking up other weapons.
[*Your current spiritual power is insufficient to become the owner of this weapon.]
[*Your current spiritual power is insufficient to become the owner of this weapon.]
.
.
.
All the other promising weapons had the same restriction.
“It seems there’s something called spiritual power. I don’t have enough of it yet.”
In the end, they were all out of reach.
I probably should have come here after clearing from the third floor.
Coming in directly caused this problem.
-Seems like the order got mixed up?
Looks like I came early while still at a low level lol
lol
-Growth was possible??
-Why is Jayou like this;
Almond still seemed reluctant and tried to take the sword anyway.
“Should we take it for now? We can equip it later once we level up anyway.”
There was no problem carrying it—only in becoming its true owner.
-Why bother? It’s heavy.
-It’s cumbersome lol
-Let’s just come back for it later.
“I’ll take this one.”
Suyeon grabbed the massive cross spear.
-lololol
-It’s not because it’s a cross, it’s just a weapon lol
-Gasp
-Isn’t that way too big? lol
“Huh? I guess my level restriction is low. I can carry this.”
Balloon Gum proudly pulled out a long staff adorned with loud metal decorations.
-Gum mage lol
-For real, she’s a mage lol
-Ooh
“No. Why can’t I?”
Almond’s expression turned aggrieved.
All he could carry were talismans.
He’d need to replenish his supply after throwing so many earlier.
Since it wasn’t a new weapon, his disappointment was inevitable.
“I’ll just take a sword.”
In the end, he sulked and grabbed a blade.
“I’ll sweep up all the talismans too.”
He then indiscriminately shoved bundles of talismans scattered about into his pockets.
Because he collected them this way, he didn’t realize.
That these talismans had different purposes.
-lololololol
-Almond’s being petulant.
-lololol so cute
-Why though lol
-He’s wearing an extra sand pouch lol
-Looks like he’s sweeping them up in frustration lol
While Almond was frantically gathering talismans, he discovered something.
“What’s this? Incense and salt?”
There were also items that seemed necessary for a shaman.
[Incense]
[Protects an area from attacks by malevolent spirits. Ghosts will retreat at a distance merely from smelling it.]
[Salt]
[Blessed salt is scattered to slow the movement of malevolent spirits. In the case of ghosts, their flesh burns away.]
Overall, these were supplementary items.
‘I just throw talismans and they die. Do I really need this?’
With that thought, Almond placed only a single stick of incense and salt into his bag.
There was simply no more room left, given how many talismans he’d already packed.
“I’m going full damage output build.”
Hahahahaha
-ly
-Now that’s a man
-Making every character like Reina…
Looks like you’re definitely gonna need it lol
-We can always come back anyway
Meanwhile, Suyeon wasn’t satisfied with just the massive cross and holy water either, as she grunted while carrying something else.
“I’ll just take this much… with me!”
What she was trying to carry was a shield engraved with a cross.
Where the hell is that guy going, like he’s off to the Crusades or something? lol
-Haha, gasp!
Even a shield lol
I thought it was Sybil M for a second lol
Ding.
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 2,000 won.]
[So you’re saying you’re walking around downtown Seoul like this?]
Ding.
[Podori donated 5,000 won.]
If the police catch them before they catch ghosts, that’s hilarious lol
Hahaha, for real
Haha, that’s hilarious!
At this point, I can’t even tell who the evil spirit is lol
-They said they came from Seoul Comics
“This must be a Paladin’s hammer! This one too!”
After the shield, Suyeon grew greedy again and tried to grab another large hammer.
“Whoa whoa whoa!?”
Suyeon stumbled backward in surprise.
Rumble rumble rumble…!
Her hammer had begun vibrating on its own.
In fact, not just the hammer—many of the weapons here trembled simultaneously.
“It’s here. Everyone?”
Balloon Gum knew what this was.
“I’ll handle this.”
He gripped his staff tightly, preparing himself.
“!?”
The kkwaenggari behind Balloon Gum flew over and smacked his bald head.
Clang!
[Immobilized]
Thud.
Balloon Gum collapsed with a loud crash.
Hahahahaha
That’s not it lol
Here comes the bride haha for real
-Just lying down! That’s peak performance
-“A choice for the team”
Poof!
The moving objects revealed their true forms.
Through wisps of white smoke, their names became visible.
[Grade 3 Dokkaebi]
They were dokkaebis.
Creatures that enjoyed disguising themselves as objects and startling people.
‘I see.’
No wonder there were so many weapons.
My hand shot toward the talisman container, but I had to stop short.
‘Huh?’
No weak point markers appeared showing where to throw the talismans.
“Krahahahaha!”
“You humans! We’ve got you now!”
The dokkaebis gleefully grabbed their clubs and charged at me and Suyeon.
Suyeon raised her shield to block the club strikes.
I rushed forward and swung my blade. The sword cut cleanly through the opening, but—
Whoosh!
It only sliced through air.
“Yalsu!”
The dokkaebi spun its head around with a cheer, then suddenly vanished.
“!”
And reappeared behind me.
“Ehehe!”
Whoosh!
The creature’s club came flying from behind.
Tap!
My feet moved swiftly.
The club only grazed the hem of my robe, missing completely.
“You’re no ordinary human?”
The dokkaebi tilted its head, staring at me.
In that moment, my talisman flew.
Crack!
The talisman lodged directly into the crown of its head.
It stiffened momentarily and its health did decrease, but only by a pittance.
Even if I exhausted every talisman here, it wouldn’t be enough to kill the Dokkaebi.
‘It’s not a weak point, but this is ridiculous how little damage it takes.’
For a Grade 3 monster, isn’t this thing way too strong?
I don’t know the matchups between monsters and weapons. From my perspective, this sudden spike in difficulty is bewildering.
That’s when Suyeon rushed up behind me and shouted.
“It’s a Dokkaebi! They said Buddhist-type weapons work really well against them!?”
“…Ah.”
I finally understood the reason for the difficulty spike.
The person lying on the ground right now was supposed to be the one carrying this situation.
Hahahahahahaha
Haha, you’re such a gum hyung!
Why of all times ㅠㅠ
Haha, that’s hilarious!
Meanwhile, the Dokkaebi’s attacks continued relentlessly.
Balloon Gum was still lying there.
Crash!
Bang!
I finally came up with a desperate strategy.
“If the Monk dies, can I use his weapon instead?”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
ㅋㅋㅋ (laughing)
That’s too much lol
-Cut losses? That’s Almondo.
Gasp hahahahaha
But seriously, when is he gonna wake up from being knocked out?ㅋㅋ
