Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Ch 36

“Ho… They are better than I expected.”

Leeha, who was spectating from 70m away, saw their situation.

As he watched the fight for a long time, the fear effect was naturally removed.

The tankers alternately blocked the bear’s attack. The dealers continued to find opportunities between the gaps made by the bear.

Even if they get the aggro, they were warrior-type dealers, which meant, they wouldn’t die in a single hit. Healing magic poured out like rain, and it was enough to fill their health bar in an instant.

‘If it’s like this, they should be able to catch it.’

With a relatively smooth flow, blood flowed from all over the brown bear field boss, the Agonia Oso’s, body.

The bear’s hand smashed on the shield, leaving a huge nail mark on it, and dug up the ground.

The fierce battle was not easy, but as time passed, the scale of victory seemed to tilt toward the raid team.

“At 20%, we have to pour our attack all at once!” Petal Kim yelled.

“Why?”

The raid team was rather confused as Petal Kim exclaimed with an urgent expression.

“When its HP reaches 20%, it will roar a second time. Then it will become dangerous. So before that happens, we have to catch it in one go.”

“Ah, but isn’t it just a status condition? It is almost caught anyway, I think we could take it slow. It’s the first field boss, so it’s also being recorded.”

“Kuku, I mean. Wouldn’t it be worth some money if we uploaded this on the internet?

‘How to hunt a field boss for dummies! For users below level 100!’ we can upload it with that title.”

People who wanted to take advantage of not hunting rather than hunting.

“Oh, I think I used too much heal. I need to recover my MP.”

“What? Why are you sitting down?”

“The raid is almost done, so what am I going to do? I have to sit down to recover.”

The raid members had reduced their efficiency by using random skills.

“Hey! Tank properly! Why didn’t you use provoke?”

“I think my shield’s durability has been reduced a lot…”

“Who cares about your shield’s durability?

Use it quickly!”

“I’ll use it next time. This time, you use it.”

“Oh shit, that’s too much!!”

“Oh, did you even swear that you took an hour off?”

“Use it quickly, damn it!”

Laziness and selfishness spread to everyone in the raid… It could be said that this was the limit of an improvised raid team. Everyone had already started to pay attention only to their own self-interests.

The attacks missed and the aggro was not getting controlled properly.

As for the injuries, the MP of the healers fell to a level where it was impossible to recover.

“I-I can’t. That’s why I’m not partying with those low levels. You should listen to the raid leader!

When it comes to timing, it’s like spinning a web!”

And there was no way the raid leader couldn’t detect this change of mood. Petal Kim looked around and bit his teeth.

“What is it? What is that sudden sound, Petal-nim? What is that sound?”

The moment when Petal Kim overlapped his two shields to prevent another hit, with a chaenggrang sound, one shield split in half.

A much stronger hit than normal.

But that’s not the problem. Petal Kim knew that when its HP reached 20%, the field boss, Agonia Oso’s last struggle would begin.

“It’s here! 20%!”

Kwaaaaa—!!!

‘Uh, will it roar again? No, wait. What is that light…’

The tip of its nails lit up first.

Even Leeha, who was far away, saw the brown bear’s toes spark. Did it reflect the sunlight because it is sharp?

“What…”

That wasn’t it. The field boss’s pattern changed… Agonia Oso began to turn red.

Its dark red fur completely turned red mixed with a yellowish tint.

And it wasn’t just a color change.

“Aak, it’s hot! What the-? This bear can use magic?”

“I-it’s not magic…

“Brown(Mul) Bear(Kom)! Bear(Kom)! Fire(Mul)! Fire(Mul), Bear(Kom)!”

“Disband Party! Tsk!”

Petal Kim threw the broken shield and ran back. The dealer and healer, who was in Petal Kim’s party, also pulled out.

All of a sudden, Argonia Oso’s whole body was

on fire.

Kuwaaaaaa—!!!

Leeha also thought it used flame magic.

The guy who was fine suddenly caught fire and cried out.

However, seeing Petal Kim’s attitude and the sudden change of the brown bear’s attack pattern, he realized that he had been mistaken.

Krung, krung! He swung both of his arms to put out the fire but it was useless. A user holding a shield got flattened like a pancake after getting smashed by the Fire Bear.

Chwaah, the scattered blood evaporated before it even touched the ground. It was hard to see how the user turned into light particles.

“E-escape, escape quickly!”

“Uwaaak! Help me! Heal, heal!”

However, in order to cast the heal, the healer must not move. In the midst of the dealer and tank scattering away, they were asking the healer to stop and cast heal? That was absurd.

“What… What is this… Can you even call that a

bear?”

Yes, it’s not just a beast. This place is Middle Earth.

The field boss is definitely a “monster”. It didn’t cross his mind because the field boss was huge.

Leeha stared at the humongous field boss, the Fire Bear Agonia Oso, opening its mouth widely toward the fleeing people.

A bright light gathered in its mouth as its body was burning, and there was an image of light gathering, the image that he had seen several times.

‘Casting? Monster-’

Paaaa!!!

The brown bear vomited a fireball. It wasn’t a fireball refined like a fireball. The instinctive, randomly burning fireball burned up two

running dealers in no time.

“Kiyaaaak! Hot! It’s hot!”

“Kuoo- somebody sav-”

His voice was cut off.

Two dealers turned into grey light. What percentage was the assimilation rate set?

If they remember that pain, they won’t be able to access Middle Earth for more than 48 hours.

“Hey! What are you doing, run away quickly!”

A group was running towards Leeha who was looking at the river like flames, it was Petal Kim, who was the raid leader, along with his party members.

“Me?”

Leeha was confused at the words of Petal Kim, advising him to run away as well. I didn’t even attack, why should I?

“When Agonia Oso is in that state, it will run wild for a few days! It kills all visible things, so you’ll have to go to another hunting ground for the time being.”

“What? Few days? How many days exactly?”

Runaway? If they wanted to catch it, they should have definitely caught it. It would be a nuisance if they let it run wild like that.

If they didn’t have the confidence to catch it, they shouldn’t have touched it. Petal Kim, who organized the raid, was resentful.

“I do not know. Ten days if it’s short, one month if it’s long? Anyway, it would be better not to come this way until you hear the news that the brown bear was caught. We are going!”

After giving advice quickly, Petal Kim ran back to the nearby village with his party members. Leeha alternated between Petal Kim and the Agonia Oso, standing still and moving away.

‘Ten days even if it’s short? A month if it’s long?

If I run away right now, I won’t be able to use this road for about a month? What a nuisance! And then they just ran away?’

Once the lid is opened, you have to kill the field boss.

The brown bear will eat, rip, and burn all nearby users until its rampage is released.

‘Damn you guys…Do I have to wait for the high levels to come and finish the hunt? Or should I get a new raid team and hunt it?’

Even if I don’t go back to Candle Castle, there is a small town nearby.

What if I recruited another raid team from there?

‘No. It was possible if it was in its first phase, but now I… I won’t be able to gather 20 people…’

According to Petal Kim, it should have been killed in an instant, just before the transformation.

If it’s in its second phase a raid team with 5 parties won’t be enough. You might need to gather 6-7 parties to raid it.

‘I don’t know how many users there are in that town, so I can’t move around. I might just go to town for no reason and miss the chance to run away.

Wouldn’t it be better to run down the road and head for the capital right now? However, given the size and speed of the brown bear, I could be caught while running away.

‘That Petal Kim or whatever is a son of a b*tch! Making it rampage like this!’

He was the reason for Leeha’s unexpected delay, who has to go to the capital right away.

If he gets delayed by ten days, he would not be able to satisfy Madame Lou’s quest conditions.

‘I can’t wait that long.’

It is uncertain that a raid team will be gathered, and it is also uncertain that high levels will come and take care of it. If I run away halfheartedly, I might get eaten.

If I have to give up all three options, there is only one left.

‘Then I’d rather…’

‘I don’t know if it will work or not. However, I can’t avoid it without even trying. Avoiding here is like giving up on the quest halfway.’

‘In that case, I would rather be prepared to die…’

“Kkuwaaak!”

In the meantime, a healer flew into the air.

The body got thrown at least 10m into the air after getting hit by the Agonia Oso.

The moment he landed on the ground, will be an instant death judgment.

“Umm, the Field Boss…”

Leeha bit the bag of gunpowder..

Six of the 20 people had died.

When they first started, Petal Kim’s party was stable, but after that, the remaining nine were running away for their lives. However, given the current circumstances, even half of them will not survive.

The bear’s running speed was surprisingly fast, but since it was the size of an elephant, it was catching up one person at a time.

‘The distance is about 70m.’

However, the brown bear was also quite agitated by running all over the place.

“Tap!’

Leeha tapped the musket’s butt on the floor with a sound.

Loading in one go just by putting gunpowder and iron balls in the muzzle and hitting the floor. Leeha lifted his musket.

‘The distance is 70m, and the wind is roughly 2m per second. The direction is southeast…’

With a map and a compass, he can accurately determine the current location of the bear. The wind direction and wind speed can also be measured thanks to the smoke rising from the ground where the fireball exploded.

‘They said it had about 20% of its life left. Even if it is a field boss, a field boss of the level of a bear hunting ground. If it is 20%, it will not have very much stamina.

A distance of 70m and windspeed speed of about 2m per second do not have a significant effect on trajectory.

‘Calm heart.’

Leeha’s fingers were light.

‘Okay, three…’

His shoulders were steady.

‘Two…’

The direction he is aiming for is clear.

‘One…’

Ta-aang—.

White smoke appeared on the grasslands along with a loud noise.

Puuk, Leeha saw the Agonia Oso’s giant head tilt back.
