The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 126
40. Firelight (3)
The people of Paprika Village had returned to their settlement.
They were practically in a festive mood.
They built a campfire in the center of the village and roasted meat while chatting with one another.
Since they would now be receiving food supplies from Cheese Village, they were celebrating with the remaining meat.
“Those guys were absolutely terrified, weren’t they?”
“Ahahaha! Turning just one Shrimp into a lava mage was seriously genius!?”
“The strategy was perfect. Orange, you’re amazing~”
Orange was the mastermind behind this entire operation.
“All it takes is one person to intimidate them, after all.”
Orange had extensive experience with RPG games involving inter-guild competition.
Because of that, he understood something fundamental.
‘There’s no need to actually fight.’
The way to win when two groups clash without necessarily resorting to combat.
Humans as a species naturally avoid being pushed into extreme situations.
This is especially true when it comes to battles between organizations.
In the end, they seek to resolve matters through negotiation rather than fighting.
When that happens, negotiating power is typically determined by whoever possesses the stronger equipment.
Usually, one looks to the team’s leader in such moments.
The leader’s equipment directly correlates with the guild’s combat strength.
Orange’s strategy was a kind of psychological trick targeting exactly that mindset.
The appearance of a lava mage in a battle dominated by melee weapons.
“We must have looked absolutely terrifying to them.”
“They probably pissed themselves~”
“Hehehehe!”
Literally asymmetrical firepower.
Of course it had to be frightening.
“Tremble in fear! You yellow fungus bastards!”
But they didn’t realize something.
They might have set their threshold for fear far too low.

* * *
Ppulranem had certainly witnessed it.
When the invaders arrived at the plaza. When the lava mage melted Balloon Gum in an instant.
It was certainly terrifying.
But─
‘This is too much, isn’t it?’
Compared to now?
“Chiki-cha!”
──Boom!
A sudden kick erupting from the flames.
The Agricultural Cooperative Members following Ppulranem collapsed like dominoes.
“Ugh!?”
“What?”
Thud.
As I collapsed, what came into view was the silhouette of a man.
A face grinning wickedly—though hidden by the helmet—looked down at us.
‘…Huh?’
‘What is this?’
‘Surely not.’
My soul left my body.
Someone appeared from a place where I absolutely believed no one could emerge.
Tremble.
Only then did Ppulranem truly feel terror.
The sensation seemed to transmit beyond the capsule to my actual body.
‘These insane bastards?’
They were the Knight Order.
These bastards had started this.
They burned down everything around Mosol’s house just to catch one Agricultural Cooperative Member.
True madness.
It seemed this word existed precisely to describe this moment.
-Shudder shudder shudder
-These crazy bastards lol
-Wow lol
-Is the Knight Order a terrorist organization??
-Lmao lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
But this wasn’t the end.
They set additional fires to block the escape routes further.
“Fire Release! Flaming Bottle Technique!”
Spit!
From behind, Gobong hurled a Molotov cocktail of his own making while spitting.
It was as if fire was literally spewing from his mouth.
Whoooosh!
The flames blocked the escape route.
-Gobong’s insane lol
-What a show-off lol
-Fire jutsu omg lol
-???: This level of fire jutsu without a single drop of flame…!?
-Damn
-Uchiha Gobong scary
‘At this rate… we’re all dead.’
Ppulranem shook his head vigorously and snapped back to his senses.
“What are you doing, break through! Break through toward those bastards!!”
Since they came in here, there had to be a way out as well.
“Run!”
“Aaaaah!”
Boom…!
The Knight Order simply pushed them back one more time with their shields.
The passage was narrow, and there were many people who needed to get through.
“Fire jutsu! Fire jutsu! Fire jutsu!”
Clang!
The fire bombs continued to press from behind.
Boom!
Kaboom!
“More…! Push harder!”
“Destroy the shields!”
In response, Almond shouts.
“Shield waaaalll!!”
Clack!
A shield wall made of iron shields.
It had no intention of breaking easily.
Boom!
Thud!
And the Knight Order begins counting.
“One… two…”
Gobong hurls a fire bomb right in front of the Knight Order and shouts.
“Three!”
Boom!
As they push with all their might, the fire bomb shatters.
Whoooosh!!
Finally, all the escape routes are engulfed in flames, and the Knight Order turns and flees.
“D-Dammit?!”
“Why is there no way out!?”
“Just cross through the fire! We just need to endure it for a moment!”
-Yeah, just run through it
-For real, just get out of here
-Please, just go! The fire will die down in a second anyway??
-Why is this so frustrating
Several members of the Agricultural Cooperative made a quick decision and simply crossed through one of the flames.
However, this was the worst possible judgment they could have made.
‘What?’
Whoooosh!
The moment they passed through the flames, the fire clung to their bodies, and then it spread to the dry grass beneath their feet.
‘Huh?’
They had become carriers, spreading the plague of fire itself.
The flames spread wider and larger.
In an instant.
Whoooooosh!!!
This is messed up ㅠㅠ
Amaterasu is crazy/insane.
-Oh…
So this is how it turns out…ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugh, backseat gaming!
Who told me to get out?? lol
Crimson flames engulfed the sky.
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“This is insane….”
They could no longer find a proper path.
Black smoke and flames that seemed to surround them from all directions.
Doughnutz’s eyes trembled violently.
“H-How is it spreading so easily like that!?”
I couldn’t comprehend it.
The light was too intense in the darkness, making it difficult to assess the situation properly.
Then─
Crackle.
‘This… what is this?’
Doughnutz looked at something beneath his feet and doubted his own eyes.
What was this white, hard substance?
It felt like white chocolate.
It was candle wax that had melted and hardened again.
‘No… surely not.’
It was true.
The fire spreading this rapidly, in exactly the manner they desired—it was no accident.
This wasn’t ordinary fire.
A meticulously engineered labyrinth of flame.
“These insane bastards? They laid down candle wax?”
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
Wow lolololol
-It was an ant lion trap…
That’s so creepy/gross
-???: So who’s the economics major now?
Doughnutz waved his hands frantically, trying to stop everyone right then and there.
“No! No! Don’t go out! If candle wax gets on your feet, it’s over….”
Of course, it was far too late.
“Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!”
[Ppulranem has turned to ash.]
[Baeksuk has turned to ash.]
The beginning was simply the hardest part.
Using greasy humans as fuel, the flames grew fiercer and fiercer.
When the humans ran about screaming from the heat, the fire spread everywhere they went.
“J-Jen!”
The space where the remaining Agricultural Cooperative members could stand continued to shrink.
“Chairwoman!? What do we do!? What do—aaaahhhhh!”
One by one, they were seized by the claws of flame and dragged away.
“…Damn it! Jeeeeen!!”
Whoosh!
Fire ignited at Doughnutz’s feet as well.
-???: Come visit us! Cheese Village!
-Burning people alive is a healing game??
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
-Campfire: means burning down an entire camp
hahahahahaha
-Is this that fire craftsman thing or whatever?
“Cursed Knight!!!!!!”
These were Doughnutz’s final words.
[Doughnutz has turned to ash.]
Thirty members of the Agricultural Cooperative had been completely overwhelmed by just five people.
From a distance, watching the flames spread below, Danbong laughed.
The monsters and the Agricultural Cooperative.
I had annihilated every enemy of the Knight Order.
“Ugh, ahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaha!?”
I spread both arms wide and laughed even louder for all to see.
“Ahahahahahahaha!!!”
I had already crossed a river of no return.
-What’s with this method acting lol
-This is insane lol
Zhuge Feng is famous ㄷㄷ
-He’s actually gone mad…
“A corrupted camel is scary”
-Wow
-The birth of a dark hero…lololololololol
-lololololololololol
-Danbong’s gonna get a lot of cuts lol
Moments later.
[Mosol has turned to ash.]
As all the monsters burned away and Mosol, the true target, fell, the Knight Order’s operation achieved complete success.

* * *
“…P-Paprika Village people are way scarier than these guys, aren’t they?”
Park O-hun stared at the screen and muttered in a daze.
“Ahem… Well, things not going as planned is what makes this kind of work interesting.”
It had deviated from the original intention quite a while ago. I had no idea Paprika’s invasion would be buried like this.
Was that a confirmed event the production team had prepared?
Among the viewers watching this scene right now, how many would actually remember that Paprika had invaded?
1st Place) Paprika Village’s Grand Clash Finally!
2nd Place) These crazy Knight Order guys lololololol
3rd Place) Danbong’s corruption just now. gif
4th place) The maze of fire viewed from above is creepy
The issue threads in the Streamer Garden were already being flooded with posts about what just happened.
The 1st place post was about Paprika Village, but even that quickly dropped.
1st Place) ???: A lava mage? Why would you get something like that?
==== ====
(Photo)
An unemployed flame mage, if you will?
==== ====
A post with a photo of Almond kicking Ppulranem instantly became 1st place.
-This is insane lol
-Why get a job! Just turn on AllTube!
-LMAOOOOOOOOO
-Why is the lava mage even doing that? HAHAHA
-She must be an incredibly powerful flame mage if she can even use dragon’s breath~
└That’s insane HAHAHA
└Right? HAHAHA
└Born a flame mage, that one HAHAHA
-The Uchiha clan making a ridiculous comeback
-One person spent all day digging to create a single lava mage, meanwhile this guy just kills all his competitors with rat fire play HAHAHA
└HAHAHAHAHAHA
└Rat fire play HAHAHA
The impact of this flame technique (?) displayed by the Knight Order was clearly stronger than the lava mage’s impact.
People were actually dying, and it would completely shift the balance of power.
7th Place) Isn’t this the Balmun Geumseoljin? OMG
==== ====
(Photo)
Almond seems to have learned this in the international tournament
==== ====
Posts even appeared calling the aerial photograph of the Inferno Labyrinth the Balmun Geumseoljin.
-But Danbong designed it, so what’s this about? HAHAHA
-Everything becomes the Balmun Geumseoljin HAHAHAHA
-HAHAHAHA Since they won, it must be the Balmun Geumseoljin ^^
-Another Geumseoljin LMAOOO
-HAHAHAHA Reminds me of the China match in the international tournament HAHA They made such a fuss about the Balmun Geumseoljin and it ended in 3 hits HAHAHA
└Forreal HAHAHA
└It ended in an instant HAHAHA
└Forreal, the Japan naval battle was more thrilling
In fact, it had become a meme since the international tournament—whenever people saw any strange formation-like structure, they’d ask “Isn’t this the Balmun Geumseoljin?”
Of course, the Inferno Labyrinth designed by Danbong wasn’t the Balmun Geumseoljin, and there was no point in constructing such a formation with flames that weren’t even alive.
It was simply a well-designed labyrinth.
But then it happened.
One of the production team members points at the screen.
“Uh… uh? They’re going in!”
“What? Why are they going in!?”
The Inferno Labyrinth that resembled the Balmun Geumseoljin—and the Knight Order was actually entering it?
More precisely, Almond and Bongbong were entering.
Songsong and the others were waiting around the perimeter in case any enemies managed to escape.
“…?”
“What are they doing?”
“They’re going in there?”
They had to go in.
It was because of the original reason they had decided to set the fire.
[Fertile Soil]
To take the fertile soil spread everywhere.
“Hurry! Hurry!”
“Ouch, it’s hot!”
“It just came out, so it’s still hot~!”
They began dodging the flames however they could while stuffing the fertile soil into their inventories.
While Mosol, the land’s owner, was dead, they could take whatever they wanted.
“Mosol’s land first!”
“Yes!”
