Matan's Shooter

Chapter 944

It meant that it could not be blocked by any physical armor or mental skills.

There weren’t even the unique limitations of Middle Earth, which meant it couldn’t eliminate a target stronger than the user.

A skill with no grade or level restrictions.

The skill granted directly by the Spirit King, referred to as ‘Authority,’ possessed an extraordinary level of power.

*Given the chance, it would’ve been great if it could eliminate the staff and overlap with the function of “dealing damage while passing through” of Black Bass, but it remains a bummer. A six-hour cooldown... To use such a once-in-a-battle skill in one go is quite regrettable.*

It was a skill that could be used on only one of Tiamat, Bluebeard, or Ghibrid, and that too only once. And to use that opportunity to eliminate Bluebeard’s “staff”!

There was a clear possibility that a better chance might arise in the war that had yet to fully begin. However, Leeha regretted that he couldn’t save the skill until then.

“Ha Leeha.”

“Well, considering it dealt accumulated damage and left Bluebeard unable to recover from his injuries while disarming him, there couldn’t be a better outcome than this. We have to think positively.”

Leeha smiled at Rubinny.

In reality, this act was thoroughly calculated.

He didn’t know how strong Ghibrid or Tiamat was or what kind of evasion or defense they had, but at least he knew Bluebeard well.

‘If I take away the defense tool from Bluebeard, who has the worst compatibility with me—’

Even if it’s the Demon King’s Fragment, weakening in combat power was inevitable.

Moreover, preventing it from acting as it pleased was a significant achievement in and of itself.

‘I need to buy time until the item commissioned to Bottleneck is completed.’

How would Bluebeard react after losing his weapon? That was the only problem.

“Ghiiiiiibriiiiiid—!”

Bluebeard suddenly shouted the name of another Demon King’s Fragment.

Leeha hurriedly raised his scope to check if Bluebeard was looking towards Ghibrid, but he found that Bluebeard was still glaring at him.

Meeting Le’s eyes through the scope, Leeha felt a chill run down his spine.

‘That wretched bastard— I’ll tear him apaaarrrrt!’

Bluebeard roared.

The volume was such that all the users cheering for Leeha’s shooting winced and grabbed their armor.

His tie loosened, and his shirt buttons were torn off in a fit of rage, something even Leeha had never witnessed.

“Hyung, there must be a way to deal with that, right?”

Ghibrid responded to Bluebeard’s rage. The sudden increase in the speed of the chimera’s advance was proof of this.

*Click—!*

Leeha pulled the bolt. From now on, Leeha only had one task.

“So, um, I will be firing! Kijung, get ready!”

“Huh?”

He had to somehow reduce their number while there was still some distance!

Leeha swiftly aimed at the chimera cluster and shouted.

“〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉!”

*Crrrrrrrrrr...*

Thanks to investing all his stats into Agility, Leeha’s current Agility was 5,088.

Fifty 〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉 bullets were fired toward the chimeras.

Even chimeras that could ignore normal attacks couldn’t withstand fifty 〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉 bullets with each dealing approximately 42,000 damage.

Moreover, the cooldown of 〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉 was merely one minute.

“Huuuup, 〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉!”

When Leeha’s power, which was focused on melting the chimeras through accumulated damage rather than countering compatibility or weak points, started to fully shine, the enemies were only 400 meters away. Their ghastly forms were now visible to the naked eye.

After firing about eight rounds of 〈Multi-Warhead Shot〉 while the chimeras advanced, Leeha couldn’t stay in that location any longer.

“Kijung!”

Leeha saw Kijung. Kijung nodded and grabbed his shield tightly.

“Yeah. Hyung, leave it to me from now on.”

This was not the place for a sniper to be.

He needed to find the optimal position, the best sniping spot, to eliminate the approaching enemies.

“Hwangryong is here! Make way! Make way!”

“Don’t push, you idiot!”

However, once the frontline was fixed, changing it wasn’t easy. Even if they tried to make way for Hwangryong, attacks from the chimeras at the front made it impossible to distinguish hands from tentacles, faces from bones.

If they turned their backs, they would die, and if they didn’t move aside, they would collide with Hwangryong’s users.

Switching formations suddenly in the chaos of battle was an impossible task.

“It doesn’t matter! Team 1, team 2, team 3! Move as practiced!”

“Yes, sir!”

The guild, known for its swarm tactics, wouldn’t have overlooked such a point.

Amidst the chaos, it was impossible for users to adjust to their surroundings. Considering this situation, what solution did the Hwangryong guild’s predominantly Eastern martial arts user group come up with?

“Team 1, ‘Divine Formation: North Star Sword Array’!”

Seven Hwangryong guild members leapt into the air, stepping on the now hardened talismans and jumping once more.

While they distracted the chimeras’ attention with a double jump, the 18 guild members at the front stamped the ground simultaneously.

“Team 2, ‘Earth Formation: Mole’s Eighteen Trigram Palm’!”

Rumblings followed...

The 18 guild members vanished like moles into the ground and sprang up right in front of the chimeras, launching their fists.

“Kieeek!”

“Kyaaa!”

Scattered fire rain and descending flashes of swords from above, coupled with powerful fist energy surging from the front.

“Team 3, ‘Human Formation: Fierce Dragon Spears’!”

And from behind two teams, 36 spears thrust forward!

The spears, at least 4 meters long, fiercely rotated, piercing through chimeras as they passed between the users.

“Teams 4, 5, and 6! Follow through!”

“Yes, sir!”

The 61 Hwangryong guild members, including the team leaders, efficiently halted the chimeras.

The members of each team had the same job and similar levels. Their identical uniforms and almost identical builds made the movement of 61 people appear as swift as that of a single person.

“As expected! It’s Hwangryong!”

“Push them back! Even if we attack as we’ve been doing, hwangryong will handle it!”

The nearby users felt encouraged by their performance, rallying their spirits for a moment.

“Damn it, there are still too many chimeras!”

However, the three teams, comprising 61 members, were only dealing with about seven chimeras.

No matter how many high-level users there were, the chimeras wouldn’t be scared or retreat.

Only overwhelming power could fend off these nearly mindless monsters!

“You’re doing well. Don’t back down! ‘Hwangryong Eighteen Palms: Dragon Emerges from Water’!”

────────────!!!!

Hwangryong possessed just such power.

A yellow energy surged from Pei Wu’s fingertips into the sky, forming the shape of a dragon.

“Wow! Is that–”

“Yes! That’s Pei Wu’s skill!”

The Chinese-style dragon, imbued with a sacred golden aura, relentlessly pushed back the chimeras.

In the southern front of the battleground, the chimeras were being held off without much trouble during the early stages of the battle.

The same was true for the northern front, where Karelin and the giants were stationed.

“Ha ha ha! Push! Push!”

“What can any living creature do in front of a tank?”

“Crush them, smash them, blow them up!”

The giants, including the Amundsen Three Brothers, had not only fully repaired the giant armored car that once bested Leeha but had also increased its number.

“Follow the armored cars! Prevent anything from sticking to them!”

“Ha ha ha! At least this time, there’s no driver to disable our movement! Just keep the scraps off!”
