Matan’s Shooter

Chapter 74

“Hehe hehe… hehe, thank you, Rising Sun. Thank you, Petal Kim and thank you, Hijuit-Ka!”

Leeha laughed as he reloaded his musket.

The kobolds have been weakened for 1 hour, so he did not have time to waste.

“Ka– human…!”

Taaang—!

“Sorry, I don’t have time to play with you.” 

As soon as Leeha came down from the watchtower, he shot the kobold in front of him. One shot, one kill.

A few kobold guards hung around, two approached him, and a bayonet charge killed both of them.

[You leveled up.]

“Hey hey. Thank you.”

Leeha giggled and received the white light that wrapped around his body. His level did not rise just because he caught the kobolds.

He must have gained up to 90% experience when he killed Hijuit-Ka.

With this, he reached level 32.

‘Just in case, I will increase my stats again.’

From level 27 to 32, his stat points have accumulated quite a bit. Leeha wanted to be vigilant, in case the situation suddenly changed.

If a battle suddenly occurred, he might end up in a situation where he would not be able to raise his stats. What Leeha hated the most was ‘saving something only for it to turn into shit’.

‘Character Window’

Name: Ha Leeha/ Race: Human 

Job: Musketeer / Level: 32 (1%)

Title: Fearless / Achievements: 18

HP:  1,700 / MP:  380 

Stat: 

Strength: 49(+34)

Agility: 297(+135)

Intelligence: 55(+40)

Constitution: 74(+26)

Mind: 27(+17)

Remaining stat points: 35

‘There are 18 achievements. Already…”

Usually, there were between 3 and 4 achievements at level 30, and as a result, getting 6-7 was already quite good.

It would be different if there was a strong helper like Ram Hwayeon, but in general, users have less than five achievements.

In other words, Leeha had achieved three times more achievements than normal.

‘Where should I put it this time? No, I have already decided.’

As he battled, he realized a few more facts.

In many situations, as a solo player, constitution was the most important thing.

He had a few skills, but it was good to have a lot of MP to use Bayonet Charge and Calm Mind.

Not to mention strength. It was always good if it was high.

However, sniping made it clear.

‘Musketeers are not ‘ranged dealers’… They were dealers that were not dealers. One had to break out of this contradiction… the description of the item written on the musket, maybe it was the essence of a musketeer.

‘One life in one shot. Whether it was the enemy’s or oneself.’

Maximizing one’s attack power.

Leeha felt the same thing while hunting Hijuit-Ka.

If it had not been for his agility-oriented point distribution, it would have been difficult to snipe it.

Even if he somehow managed to hit, Hijuit-Ka would not have died.

Leeha put 30 points into his agility, leaving only 5 points left.

Stats: 

Strength: 49(+34)

Agility: 327(+135)

Intelligence: 55(+40)

Constitution: 74(+26)

Mind: 21 (+11)

Remaining stat points: 5 

‘Agility 327…’

With simple calculations, his agility stat was equivalent to level 63.

“Hehe…… Hehehe……. Just wait, Kijeong-ah. Your big brother will surely……”

Leeha had a strange smile. He felt happy and was burning with a fighting spirit at the same time. If he continued to grow like this, he would be able to somehow keep up, at least in terms of attack power.

‘Agromni Igor…. I will catch up to you quickly.’

Leeha’s current target was the third-ranked Giant Berserker.

If anyone heard it, they would say it was bullshit when it was coming from a level 32 user, but Leeha didn’t think so.

All he needed was attack power that could kill in ‘one shot’.

Of course, there was a huge practical difficulty, but… 

‘Okay, now… I need to get the items first.’

Leeha first went to the place where Hijuit-Ka annihilated the Rising Sun guild members.

A total of six people died, but there were four shining things on the ground. Since they were chaotic users, Leeha thought they would drop more, but there wasn’t that much.

‘Hmm, I don’t need the plate boots. Is this what they got from bullying low-mid-level users?’ 

Pair of metal boots, a pair of gloves, and one helmet.

In general, Leeha was not able to equip the items.

All three were rated ‘Excellent’. It could be said that it was good compared to the Crude or Normal rated items, but it was not enough for Leeha’s hardships.

‘Still, if I sell it, I could make some money, but…… What else did they have?’ 

While grumbling, he took care of everything he could take care of. After cleaning the floor up of items, Leeha headed toward Tikal’s corpse.

‘He looked like someone who spent a lot. How high was his level?’ 

Hijuit-Ka cut Tikal into two like he was slaughtering some kind of cattle, so the suffering and trauma suffered by Tikal should have been enormous.

‘Will he connect again? Normally, if someone were to suffer like that, they would be traumatized.’

But Leeha did not feel sorry for him.

‘He brought it to himself. It was just a game, something one plays to have fun, why did he have to be greedy at other people’s items? He didn’t even have to do that. He looked like a rich man, doing well in his company.’

He was not aware of Tikal’s evil deeds, however, his attitude towards his guild members was enough for Leeha to guess. Of course, Leeha only complained for a while. It was now his time to be happy.

‘Well, that’s it! His armor and weapon looked expensive too… Shall we see what it is?’

Leeha picked up the items that seemed to be the remnants of the disappeared Tikal. Leeha’s stiff face gradually began to loosen.

‘Ring…! As expected! He paid the price for tormenting others!’

Leeha was excited about the accessory he saw for the first time.

He opened the description window.

[Ring of Special Protection]

Defense: 20

Effect: 

Constitution +7

Skill – Force Barrier could be used.

Requirement: 

Strength 30 or higher

Intelligence  30 or higher

Constitution 70 or higher 

Description: A ring that protects its wearer. Just putting it on one’s finger puts one’s mind at ease. An item made of high-class jade, which was said to drive away demons, has the power to repel enemies.

“Heol… Special grade item. Besides, this performance…?”

‘An item that gives +7 to constitution, I remember it well…’

I saw it the day I first checked the prices of items in Middle Earth. Constitution +7 ring. 5.5 million in cash.

How crazy was that? I thought that a constitution +7 item would not be worth much, but the price was high.

‘What was even more surprising was that it was sold, so maybe the person who bought it was…?’

Leeha looked at Tikal’s corpse, which was split into two and turned gray.

‘No. There’s no way this is the only ring with +7 constitution.’

After all, it didn’t matter to Leeha. The fact was that he now has a +7 constitution ring worth 5.5 million won on his finger!

What more, it had a special ability attached to it.

“Hehe, I’m going crazy, really… What is the skill?”

[Advanced Force Barrier]

Description: A virtual barrier created by mana. Unless there was an overwhelming strength that surpassed the Force Barrier, nothing could break through it (this skill cannot be leveled or raised).

Effect: All enemies within a three-meter radius of the caster will not be able to approach and all attacks are absorbed for 5 minutes.

Mana: 100

Cooldown: 24 hours

‘Heol… !’

The first thing that caught Leeha’s eyes was the rating. Advanced…!

‘Advanced? It’s attached to an item?’

After beginner came intermediate.

After intermediate was advanced. Although the rank or level of the skill could not be raised, it was a high-end skill that does not need to be raised to reach the advanced level.

‘This is great! Besides, if it was as described…  doesn’t it mean that I would be invincible for 5 minutes when used? And no enemies would be allowed to come near within a 3m radius. It also absorbs all attacks.’

‘It’s like having another life!’

There was another clause that said, it could not be broken through unless the force was overwhelmingly strong. It was an advanced skill. Doesn’t that mean that one needed to be higher leveled to breakthrough?

If that was the case, then the attack should be at the master level.

If it was a master level, one needed to be a ranker at level 200 or higher. It was too far away from Leeha.

‘Crazy… Tikal had something like this and he couldn’t use it?’

Come to think of it, it looked like he was muttering something before he died….’

“Ho, really. It is the definition of ‘to cast a pearl before swine’.”

If Leeha was in Tikal’s position, he would have tried to induce Hijuit-Ka’s attack, used the skill after learning its attack pattern with a few swings, and then tried to hunt it with his guild members.

Of course, if it was the normal Tikal, that might have been the case. However, someone put a hole in his thighs and made him roll on the floor, which prevented him from even thinking about such a thing.

Leeha just clicked his tongue without even realizing his past atrocities(?).

“Well, I’ve taken care of all the humans…”

After picking up all the items, Leeha moved to where Hijuit-Ka’s corpse was.

Both the body and blood had already turned red. Leeha knew for sure it died.

It had a wound on its temple that was still burning.

It was clear that the wound had killed the Chieftain.

‘But why did this bastard suddenly stop?’

It was also true that Leeha was able to hit Hijuit-Ka because of his stiff movement.

If its fast movements had continued, it would have been difficult to time it properly.

Hijuit-Ka suddenly stopped moving while chasing the users. Then, what happened?

‘Did the wizard cast ice magic?’

After the effect of the swamp ended, the ground had hardened again, so Leeha did not know. He just approached Hijuit-Ka’s corpse. 

“Hmm…?”
