The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 90
Constellation’s Game [Lyka]
Below the castle wall, the advance guard of the ‘Frost Giant Legion’ revealed itself through the thick blizzard.
Yetis covered in white fur and wolves clad in ice armor began climbing up the castle wall.
And this scene was quite a familiar sight.
Well…
One of the places where I suffered the most under the fairy Selia was right here at 【Memory of Grenis Gorge】.
[If you can’t prove yourself here, just give up and move on to another class right away. Got it?]
[At least 1200 points! If you can’t exceed 1200 points, you shouldn’t even touch that position!]
As an illusion dungeon created literally for capacity evaluation, where all conditions are always identical.
This place was the best testing ground for Selia to assess my talent.
But the funny thing is.
I scored over 1200 points in every single position that exists here, without exception.
So in the end, this illusion dungeon completely failed to serve as a filter for my talents.
“Block them!!”
While I was having such thoughts, Inwook Jeon pressed his body against the castle wall railing, wielding a massive tower shield.
Crash!
Crushing the head of a climbing yeti with his shield, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
“I’ll try to block this route, so please take a damage position from behind, hyung!”
This is my first time seeing this guy fight, but his first impression is quite interesting.
I mean, his basic movements and positioning show he has fundamentals as a tank, should I say?
Thud- Thud-
Looking closely, his class seemed to be a hidden class too.
How do I know?
Whooom-!
Every time he pushes back enemies with his shield, you can see the pure white light that wraps around his entire body and glows.
That was the most fundamental passive skill of the Iron Fortress Class.
‘He looks like a bear, but… he was more talented than I thought?’
Well, I don’t really understand why he’s covering for me.
But there’s no need to decline when he’s offering to help.
So now it was my turn to show what I could do.
Clink-!
First, I took out two arrows from my quiver, simultaneously nocked them on the bowstring, and slowly drew back.
└ ???
└ Does anyone know what he’s doing right now?
└ This is my first time seeing this too?
└ Room Owner;; Does he think he’s some kind of Arcane Ranger or something?
Then I lightly ignored the Constellations’ complaints.
Whizz-!
I released the bowstring as is, piercing through the heads of two yetis.
[‘You have accurately struck the weak point of the ‘Frozen Yeti’ monster!’]
[‘You have dealt critical damage to the ‘Frozen Yeti’!’]
Shooting two arrows simultaneously… how can you hit so precisely like this?
[Conditions met, ‘Head Shot’ effect activates.]
[Damage amplified by 300%.]
[Target falls into ‘stunned’ state for a short time.]
Well, because they’re close.
Piercing heads right in front of you is something you can naturally do even without skills like Multiple Shot.
└ Huh…?
└ What did I just see…?
Actually, this Grenis Gorge is the most disadvantageous field for archer classes to be active in.
The complex terrain made it difficult to secure vision and there were many obstacles, but…
The most difficult part was the tremendous strong winds that swept through the gorge.
Whoooosh-!!
So here, you need to utilize archery mainly for mid-range crack plays rather than long-range sniping.
Well, the reason I came down below the watchtower… isn’t actually just because of that reason.
In that sense, this time… I simultaneously nocked three arrows on the bowstring.
Clink-
I’m not overdoing it, I’m attempting it because the angle works out.
Whizzzz-!
Pop pop pop-!
[‘You have dealt critical damage to the ‘Frozen Yeti’!’]
[‘You have dealt critical damage to the ‘Frozen Yeti’!’]
[‘You have dealt critical damage to the ‘Frozen Yeti’!’]
This time I failed to get headshots, but I still succeeded in hitting all three shots.
Especially the yeti that Inwook was dealing with had its neck pierced through and collapsed…
Thud-!
Inwook was so flustered by that sight that he turned to look at me with a dumbfounded expression.
Step step-
Clink-!
But just because I hit a few shots well, I must never become complacent.
There might be a dark horse among the archer class participants who hasn’t shown their skills yet.
In any case, losing LP was unacceptable.
Whizz-!
Whizz whizz-!
It felt good to hold a bow after a long time…
└ Wow…
└ This bastard is just fucking crazy;;
Thanks to that, the donations that started pouring in were also very sweet.
[‘Collector of Sorrow’ has donated 20LP.]
[‘Retired Instructor of the Iron Blood’ has donated 10LP.]
[‘Ghost of the Forgotten Tutorial’ has donated 25LP.]
[‘Poet of Midnight Sentiments’ has donated 17LP.]
…and so on…
Shooting arrows is fun after all.
└ Didn’t the Room Owner hate arrows because they’re expensive?
Arrows don’t cost anything here, hyungs.
└ Fuck;; That’s right;;
This is when you shoot to your heart’s content, originally.
Whizz whizz whizz-!
When I play archer class, there are originally two techniques I hate the most.
Those are ‘rapid fire’ and ‘quick shot’.
When you should be putting your heart and soul into each shot, firing arrows randomly.
That felt no different from scattering LP into thin air.
‘But…’
But what if that money isn’t my money?
“Heh.”
What if I can even use it infinitely?
Whizz-!
Thwack-thwack-thwack-!
Whizz-whizz-whizz-!!
There probably isn’t anything more fun in the world than throwing money around.
Anyway, I wanted to say that I’m really having fun right now.
└ Whoa;;; Dave;; Did you know you could play like this too?? Damn
└ This is just like Legolas lol
└ It’s like a fish in water;;;
└ Guys; why isn’t this person an archer?
└ We don’t know either;
└ Isn’t he really an archer?
└ Well, he really isn’t;;;
Getting excited and shooting arrows like crazy, my position score had already broken through 200 points.
[Current Position Score: 218]
This was higher than the average position scores of other participants…
[Score Status]
[Chloe Kang (Mage): 137]
[Inwook Jeon (Tanker): 96]
[Lee Ji-sang (Support): 88]
It was twice as high.
* * *
Inuk got goosebumps.
‘What the hell… is happening right now?’
At the very front of the battlefield.
In other words, at a position close to the front lines, not much different from himself as a tanker…
The sight of an archer roaming the battlefield with a combat style he’d never seen before was unbelievable even while watching with his own eyes.
No.
Before that, is this really an ‘archer’?
Whizz―!
Could there be some special… unknown hidden class similar to an archer?
“…”
Inuk thinking this far wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
This was something anyone would agree with after watching the battle situation even briefly.
Whizz―!
A sharp bursting sound brushed past his ears.
Thwack!
At the same time, the head of a snow leopard that had leaped into the air snapped sharply.
“…?”
Right in the center of its forehead.
An arrow was embedded precisely in its vital spot.
It wasn’t just a simple hit.
A perfect knock-back shot that countered the creature’s jumping kinetic energy head-on.
The leopard fell straight down the steep cliff below the castle wall without even letting out a scream.
‘Did he really aim for that?’
And it didn’t even end there.
This time it was a ‘Frost Ogre’ with a massive frame over 3 meters tall.
Right at the moment when Inuk was about to block the creature’s club strike with his shield.
Whizz-!
Two arrows flew in succession, simultaneously striking the ogre’s right wrist and right eye.
Graaah-!
The ogre’s attack trajectory was greatly thrown off after being hit in its vital spots.
The club that was supposed to smash down on Inuk’s shield merely struck the castle wall floor uselessly.
From Inuk’s perspective, this was like having food spooned into his mouth.
“Ha!”
Inuk, who had disrupted the ogre’s balance with his shield, beheaded the creature with his axe.
Then Inuk glanced back.
There, as expected, was Geon-ryul Lee.
Ting- whizz.
A monster-like participant who just mechanically shot one arrow per breath.
‘This guy…’
He felt ashamed for even briefly doubting that he could handle a bow.
‘So he was originally an archer.’
Seeing that he could use a crescent blade during the entrance mission, he must be some special archer-type hidden class specialized in close combat.
The class name Seraphist or whatever sounded unfamiliar from the start.
It was definitely that kind of class.
‘So first place… wasn’t something you could achieve with just luck.’
When he watched Seong-hwan Lee’s play, he thought it was impressively good too.
But the play that Geon-ryul Lee was showing now… was beyond that level in Inuk’s eyes.
Shooting arrows with perfect accuracy was one thing…
But this wasn’t simply being good at archery.
Geonyul’s arrows were, almost every moment.
Being shot toward the most needed positions on the battlefield.
Whizz-!
This was play that would be impossible without reading the flow of the entire battlefield.
What gave him the most goosebumps was when supporting fire came in that seemed to completely understand which way his shield was angled and where his gaze was missing.
At each of those moments, Inuk felt… some kind of thrill.
‘To think this kind of play was possible…’
Would you get this feeling when doing party play with a ranker-class archer?
Honestly, Inuk had often thought that the tanker position was nothing more than a babysitter.
Every time he did party play up to level 40, his role was mostly taking care of dealers who were about to get into danger.
But meeting a proper dealer made him realize that his party play up until now had been wrong somehow.
To think that supporting fire from behind could increase battlefield stability this much.
‘This is what a real dealer is.’
Inuk was beyond admiration, almost moved to tears.
Clank-!
Inwook Jeon gripped his shield properly and unconsciously grinned.
Thanks to the supporting fire, the number of possible plays increased, naturally expanding his thinking.
Thud- thud- bang-!
So Inuk even had this thought.
‘Maybe… if I just follow this guy well…’
His growth path, which had felt blocked recently, might open up again.
But the next moment.
“…?”
Inuk, who thought there couldn’t be anything more surprising, couldn’t help but feel his thought processes freeze.
‘What is this guy… trying to do now?’
Geon-ryul Lee, who had suddenly slung the bow he was shooting well onto his back, approached a fallen allied soldier on the battlefield.
Swish-
Clank.
He was picking up and equipping Sword and Shield.
