“Uh? What…… gunshot?”
Ram Hwayeon heard a loud gunshot as she descended from the lookout tower of the central palace. There should have been no reason for her to hear a gunshot now. Why did he suddenly use his weapon when he said that Petyr was dead?
-What’s happening?
-Ha Leeha?
There was no response. At that mont, another gunshot rang out. There were 3 in total.
Ram Hwayeon’s face darkened. There might be another assassin. The thought that there was sothing wrong made her hasten.
“Haa, haa.”
She rushed down the round stairs of the lookout tower and ran towards Leeha’s hiding spot.
The worrying thought that sothing happened to Leeha did not leave her head.
“Ha Leeha!”
“Ram Hwayeon!”
She scread in the dark. Fortunately, Leeha’s voice was still lively. Since he said that Petyr was already dead, she was worried that the mbers of Midnight Circus who had been hiding sowhere had co running.
If several agile assassins rushed in, no matter how strong Leeha was, he would not be able to endure it. However, he was still alive. The problem was that she was in danger. Even in the dark, sothing violent ran toward her. When she discovered ten nails that shone reflected by the slightest moonlight, she couldn’t even think of casting a counterattack. Because it was too late anyway.
“Puhihim, another surprise?!”
“Ah- uh-”
“Duck! Ram Hwayeon, duck!!”
Petyr’s sharp claws pointed towards Ram Hwayeon’s chest. She only had one thought. She had to live. And if she wanted to live, she had to listen to Leeha!
“Kyaaak!”
Baaang–!
Another gunshot rang out. The huge bullet matching the size of a sniper rifle pierced Petyr’s shoulder and tore off one of his arms.
The timing was enough to brush the tip of Ram Hwayeon’s hair, who was squatting!
[Intimacy with Fibiel’s Royal Family increased by 5%.]
“Puhihihi”
“kyaaak!”
Petyr, running towards Ram Hwayeon, lost his focus and rolled over.
One of his arms was torn and blood was gushing out like a fountain, but the miyaw crawled on the floor.
“Damn it! Give a break!”
In such a ridiculous situation, Leeha’s thoughts did not work properly. What? The first bullet definitely punctured his chest. Now, the hole was clearly visible to Leeha.
The second shot missed because of the sudden darkness, and the third missed because of Petyr’s unpredictable movents, but this ti, it definitely hit. Was there any creature that could live with one arm and a hole in their chest? Okay, let’s say it was in Middle Earth. Even so, would he have the health to survive if he got hit by two bullets with an estimated attack power of 17,000 each? Moreover, if he was an assassin? At least as far as Leeha knew, it shouldn’t be. Even Kijeong, a tanker, would not be able to withstand this bullet if he got hit in the chest!
‘This is Middle Earth after all. It’s okay, it has always exceeded my expectation.’
Click, and he reloaded again.
This ti, it would be over. If he lives, he lives.
“Let’s see if he can eat this Snipe, mana clairvoyance, and-”
This ti, he wouldn’t miss. Leeha would smash Petyr’s appalling face.
The [Legendary Black Bass] resonated slightly.
Even in the dark without a light source, Leeha was able to accurately see the target. The silhouette of the enemy shone in the darkness through the infrared clairvoyance.
“-Calm Mind.”
He tried to put his finger on the trigger while controlling his breathing, but Leeha soon clenched his teeth. Although Petyr only had one arm, his movent and skills were still there.
“Puhihihi, are you going to kill like this? Will you kill ?”
Petyr captured Ram Hwayeon with only one arm and stood in front of Leeha. In that short period of ti, calm mind’s duration had already ended and lost its effectiveness.
“Shoot! Shoot, Ha Leeha! Puhihihi, shoot! Kwang, kwang! Kikis.”
And Petyr, who caught the gap in ti, was slowly stepping backward, almost completely overlapping with Ram Hwayeon, whom he had caught. Leeha clenched his teeth as he heard the mad clown’s provocation. But should it be called lucky? Petyr took the wrong hostage. Ram Hwayeon was a woman who preferred to die rather than be used as a hostage.
“Shoot! Just shoot! I-I’m fine with dying! If we catch this guy, we will-”
“It’s not the end though! Kuhaha, be careful! It would not be over! There are a lot of ti left! I can co back anyti and kill as much as I want! Killing now will only buy you ten days, I only need a second!”
“-Don’t listen to him, Ha Leeha! Shoot!”
She did not have the ti to cast magic. She should have used an instant cast item, but it was her fault for being surprised and flustered by Petyr’s bizarre appearance and surprise. If so, she must accept it. Even if she died, she would take Petyr with her, the king’s safety will be guaranteed for the next 10 days. The ordinary assassins of Midnight Circus will be blocked by the rest of the team.
Even in that brief mont when she was taken hostage, Ram Hwayeon decided that the most efficient way for everyone participating in the quest to solve the problem would be her and Petyr’s simultaneous death.
“L-Leeha-ssi!”
“Taking a woman hostage..”
Shin Nara, Tale, and Biyemi all ca down. Leeha was in a position where his gun was not lowered.
However, unlike his companions who could not move quickly, Petyr and Ram Hwayeon were slowly entering the darkness.
“Shoot, Ha Leeha, shoot!”
“Puhihi, good. Let’s die together. Dying together with a woman is always welco! I can die twelve more tis!”
A cry mixed with bizarre laughter penetrated Leeha’s ears. In this case, he knew that Petyr is going to be cheeky. Even if he lowered his gun, what was the probability of Ram Hwayeon staying alive? There was none. If that was the case, wouldn’t it be better for Leeha to shoot? However, not knowing the end of Petyr was a problem for Leeha. He was a guy that could still get up and walks around even when he should have already died. Leeha did not know how Petyr was still moving.
‘What if……. I shot both of them, but Petyr is able to read the timing and avoid it? Or, what if he still lives while Ram Hwayeon died?’
Petyr’s bloodshot eyes were focused precisely on Leeha. Even while he was taking a step backward, he was still staring at Leeha’s fingers. If he read the timing and avoided it, that would be the worst case. Only Ram Hwayeon would die and Petyr might succeed in escaping.
‘No, I shouldn’t worry. It’s a ga anyway. I have to shoot. I just need to shoot.’
He could shoot. It would be enough as long as he believed in his abilities! However, Leeha’s excellent sniper skill was hindered.
‘Is it possible to avoid Ram Hwayeon and just hit Petyr? It should be possible for . It would be possible if I were given an opportunity-’
Will that opportunity co? Still, thanks to mana clairvoyance, Petyr can be seen clearly in the dark. However, the duration will end soon. If that ti cos, will he be able to hit that quick guy in the darkness? It was a plan if it could be achieved. However, if not, then it could only be called greed. Leeha was greedy. Until this mont.
“Kikis, Petyr!”
Puheok, Shwaa! Shoot- hmm?”
Step, step Biyemi stepped out of the green grass. Everyone’s eyes, including Ram Hwayeon, turned to the Lizadia. Biyemi’s voice was different from usual.
“You have grown a lot. You have charged it more than once.”
“……Y-you- T-that voice! Besides, that move! Puhihi, you! Nguyen-”
At Biyemi’s words, Petyr’s facial muscles greatly moved. Words that nobody in the room was able to understand. What was more curious than the content of the conversation was the relationship between the two. Who is Biyemi? Was he acquainted with Petyr? When everyone’s brains were focused on one thought, they couldn’t focus on the target as much as Leeha.
“Haa…”
Because that was not what was important right now. Leeha’s muzzle did not wobble. Petyr already lost his focus on Leeha. If he couldn’t read the timing, no matter how quick he was, he wouldn’t be faster that a bullet at that distance. If so, Leeha was confident. At this mont, his greed beca confidence.
‘I should hit without fail.’
Leeha pulled the trigger. The shot ripped through the air and passed under Ram Hwayeon’s ear and pierced Petyr’s neck.
“Haa…… haa…”
The only thing that spread through the gardens of the royal palace was the sound of breathing. No one was able to speak.
[Intimacy with Fibiel’s Royal Family increased by 5%.]
A system ssage appeared. However, this ti, the reaction was different. Most importantly, the white light from Leeha’s body and nurous notification windows blocked his eyes.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[Achievent : Ranker Hunter(Topl0) – 5th rank, “Petyr”(A)]
Congratulations! You killed the 5th of Middle Earth’s top 10 highest level users. I hope you didn’t kill him by luck. He might co back to steal the achievent of ‘Ranker Hunter’! Please be careful! Effect: 34 temporary stat points (recovered when the target user dies) (The achievent does not have a hall of fa.)
[Achievent: Midnight Circus Target(B)]
Should you celebrate? You are targeted by the Midnight Circus, one of the continent’s strongest assassins. This is a proof that your skills have been recognized! The fanfare in the middle of the night hid the screams. It is not possible to have a comfortable dream in the future.
Assassination indicator: Petyr (Miyaw, Midnight Circus Vice-leader)
Effect: 28 temporary stat points(Recovered upon the target’s death)
(This achievent does not have a hall of fa.)
‘Should I congratulate you?’
Leeha frantically confird the achievents He had already seen the ranker hunter achievent when he caught Igor, but it was the first ti he saw the target achievent.
‘Is it similar to the ranker hunter…?’
Was it one of the systems of Middle Earth to enforce rivalry between users? Besides, it was a system that turned a single group into an enemy, not a party, like the ranker hunter.
“Dead…… ?”
After a while, Shin Nara went to Petyr. It was a man that deserved death. Even though his body had turned gray, it was difficult to be certain of his death.
“I think he is definitely dead this ti. Phew…”
Leeha grabbed the Black Bass and walked towards Petyr. His level has risen, and the achievent of Agromni Igor appeared. The achievent ‘Ranker Hunter’ can only be obtained by those who killed a ranker. This achievent could be regarded as a death certificate.
Leeha shook his head as he looked at Petyr’s body which had changed to salted green. He had faced many users and many monsters. Even the Brass Golem was killed in one blow, and even the eye of the field boss Cyclops was destroyed. If it was a user, there was a ti when Agromni Igor’s face was smashed. However. Petyr was even more bizarre than a field boss or Agromni Igor. He could get a rough idea of what it ant to have the worst reputation on Middle Earth.
“It’s not an alien, it moves even if its arms and legs fly off-”
“Ha…… Ha Leeha!!!”
While everyone was preoccupied with Petyr’s corpse, only one woman’s eyes were fixed on Leeha. Her red hair fluttered in the night sky as it covered Leeha’s body.
