Matan’s Shooter

Chapter 134

“Is that a person?”

“I don’t know. It’s actually the first time I have seen him…… is that the cloud magician?”

“Doesn’t he look ordinary?”

“Oh, then no. That person must be someone who hunts here. The cloud magician must be so cool.”

“You went hunting? There was an explosion in the forest earlier…”

“Hmm…… What? Is this a hidden camera prank?”

“What if he suddenly danced to PPAP? Hahaha.”

It was only natural for users to gossip.

In the video, the person toyed with the Rising Sun like they were babies.

Although his identity was unknown, the prevailing opinion was that he was presumably a ranker-level person.

But what were his outfit and weapon? It looked like someone who did not even reach level 100, let alone a ranker….

When the surrounding users looked down, shook their heads, and laughed at Leeha, there was a group of people who couldn’t laugh.

“You, you,-.”

“Oh, Tikal, you were here too? Haha! You said that you wanted to get revenge, but you were outside because your level wasn’t high enough?”

Leeha laughed, shaking off the soot on his head and shoulders.

They were being mocked, but no one from the Rising Sun, including Tikal, could respond.

Surely? If Leeha came out, and they have not heard anything from the FBA…?

“The fact that you came out……”

Gulp, Tikal managed to open his mouth.

Just in case. Maybe they captured Leeha alive and let him out first, and Ichiban and Jaco would follow soon.

No, it has to be. It must. Definitely!

“Can’t you understand the situation after seeing it? That’s right. They’re all dead. No, I killed them all.”

“N-no way! That’s nonsense! O-over 500 of our combatants are dead?”

“Strictly speaking, not everyone. A few must have escaped alive. But 500? No wonder, I used up almost 18 gold over there. I wonder if the few items that I picked up would be worth anything.”

Shiik, there was soot in Leeha’s teeth when he smiled.

There were so many bombs, due to which he thought that the gunpowder dust spread all over the Lightless forest.

In fact, it was safe to say that all of Leeha’s military funds were invested in this situation.

“S-SFM Tikal-nim! Are you just going to leave him alone!?”

“That’s right! Let’s hit him now!”

The remaining Rising Sun users urged Tikal.

They didn’t know what happened in the forest.

However, they were close to 30 people.

The fight was 1:30. It could be said that if they won this fight, it would be a victory for the Rising Sun.

“Haha, you know that this is close to the capital right? Even the ‘infinite slaughter’ that you’re so proud of would be impossible. Well, even if you die once, it won’t do much damage…”

Swiik- Leeha finished reloading his musket in an instant.

37 Seconds! Even without the effect of Delicate Hand Movements, his reload time was already in the 30s range.

“I will win against you perfectly and thoroughly. Do you want to give it a try, the method that I used to ‘slaughter’ 500 people in there?”

Tikal and the Rising Sun members had to admit at least one thing.

Ha Leeha killed 500 people in the lightless forest.

The innocent boy, who used to stare blankly and spoke respectfully, was gone.

They were intimidated by Leeha’s confidence, as he aimed his musket at their head alternately.

A true slaughterer. Cloud Magician. Setting Sun Desperado.

The devil that forced the Rising Sun into darkness!

Tikal managed to clear his mind by biting his lips tightly.

Anyway, he was finished.

Since this operation failed, he had no place to stand in Rising Sun. And Rising Sun did not tolerate failures.

Rather than getting kicked, Tikal will be harassed until he quits Middle Earth.

“D-Do you think that we will let you win? Everyone, prepare for battle!”

They had to catch Leeha at least for him to not get harassed. Even at the cost of the lives of 530 people, they must catch Ha Leeha once!

-Stop it!

“Huh?”

“What?”

-It’s nice to meet you!

“W-Who are you?! Come out!”

A voice stopped them from preparing for battle. However, it was difficult to know exactly where the sound came from.

There were already more than a hundred users surrounding Ha Leeha and Rising Sun.

“Do you think we would stop just because you told us to?”

“Right, Rising Sun is too much. Why are they bothering one person like that?”

Two people came out of the users.

A tall knight and a white-skinned beauty.

The two people, who waved their hands towards Leeha, received attention from the people and Rising Sun.

“Hello, Ha Leeha-nim.”

“Yahoo! Do you remember us? We had a party together at Sheymoore mountain in the past!”

“Oh! Matsushige-nim? Mame Hana-nim? How are you……. No, are you here to help?”

It was nothing new.

It was the same for the people surrounding them. Leeha had a video where he hunted Rising Sun, which was a hot topic on the internet.

Anyone who knew Leeha could guess the identity of the ‘Cloud Magician’.

“We would like to. We’ll talk later. First of all, let’s take care of Rising Sun”

“Right! Until now, there were a lot of you, so I endured, but not anymore!”

At first, there were only two people, a knight, and a sister, who stood beside Leeha.

However, as the two took Leeha’s side and criticized Rising Sun, one, two, three, the number of people began to increase

“Come to think of it, my brother lost his items to those bastards. Fuck, get them! I still remember my brother crying.”

“I got hit a few times too! Someone in my party killed a Rising Sun member, and they killed me too…. Don’t you remember?”

“Evil bastards! This time we have more people!”

“Would you like to try it!? I just got to level 80. I won’t suffer like I used to!”

These people were the ones who endured the oppression of Rising Sun.

Leeha’s struggles ignited their anger.

“SFM Tikal-nim?”

“That’s…”

Rising Sun members were perplexed. How could users behave in such an organized way?

They were people that always stood aside and watched like sheep.

They had convinced themselves that they were lucky that they did not become the victim of Rising Sun, and that it was somebody else’s business.

But now, things have changed. No, to be precise, it was changed.

One person’s power had changed their minds.

“That’s right…… What are you going to do? Go? Stop? You know that you need to concede when you’re in trouble, right?”

The one that changed their minds smiled with his musket up.

—

“T-Then are you saying you already know?”

“That’s right. I thought Kyokujitsu would come, so I prepared in advance.”

“Oh……. Indeed. I’ve heard rumors that you’re the best among the Intelligence Guilds created by users, but this……”

Inside the room with a floor made of bamboo.

Kyokujitsu was taken by surprise at the place which was decorated with an exotic atmosphere that made him wonder if such a house exists in Middle Earth.

“This is ridiculous, president-nim! No matter how much they buy and sell information, they must be trying to raise their price by keeping quiet. How 

much would the information-.”

“If you don’t believe it, take a look at this.”

As the Director of Planning tried to stop Kyokujitsu, a piece of paper was tossed and flew over his feet.

“Hmm? This-!”

“The……. The location of our branch offices……

Kyokujitsu and the director of planning shook their heads.

It was obvious what they were going to ask, so the answer came from behind them.

“It was not us who passed the information to the Cloud Magician. Ha Leeha that guy……. It seems he is connected to another intelligence guild.”

“Can’t you figure out who?”

“We had difficulty figuring it out. It seemes not to be among the users, but there are opinions that it’s an intelligence guild created by NPCs.”

“Oh……”

The director of planning still had red eyes.

However, Kyokujitsu gently acknowledged the remark.

It was difficult to maximize profits in this business by playing tricks. They could have done it by playing “tug-of-war” from the beginning before handing the information.

“Then how can we catch Ha Leeha?”

“The preparations are already in progress.”

“Is it already going on? Shouldn’t our guild members catch him now?”

“I know. You made a detached force consisting of 500 people, right? No, they will fail.”

At his answer, Kyokujitsu and the director of planning were surprised.

It’s only been an hour since they received the report, and they have already figured out the scale.

“T-They will fail? How do you-.”

“Ha Leeha had been preparing for this fight from the beginning. Our shinobis were spying on him. Even if you believe that it won’t fail, you should probably get insurance. If Rising Sun fails, we could kill Ha Leeha”

“Hmm ”

.

Kyokujitsu quickly turned his head.

He didn’t think they will fail, but, he could not ignore the man’s words

“How much would the insurance……”

“One.”

“If it’s only one……”

“One thousand gold.”

“One thousand gold?”

1,000 gold. It was about 120 million won. Even in real-life, a hitman won’t get that much money!

“T-This bastard! President! We should no longer negotiate with these bastards-.”

“Hey, director of planning, be quiet!!”

Bang-!

As a giant, when Kyokujitsu slammed the floor, the entire room vibrated.

The director of planning, Bongjin, lowered his head and shut his mouth.

1,000 gold. It was a huge amount of money, however, Rising Sun was a ‘corporate-type guild’, and it was at an acceptable level.

Of course, it was still a lot of money, but the amount of money they lost because of Ha Leeha, exceeded 1000 gold.

Kyokujitsu had no other choice.

“Okay.”…“One thousand.”

“You thought well. If Rising Sun fails, we will step forward.”

Clap, clap. A black-haired person jumped out of nowhere when the person beyond the bamboo hut clapped.

The director of planning was startled, but all he had in his hand was a piece of paper.

“Please sign this.”

Kyokujitsu and the director of planning quickly reviewed and signed the contract.

1,000 gold insurance. Rising Sun literally opened its treasury to kill Leeha.

“Then since the contract was signed… we will go right away.”

“Hmm? Right away? Did we fail?”

“That’s right. Right away. Because Rising Sun has already failed.”

“W-What……?”

Even Kyokujitsu was bewildered.

Failed? How long has it been since they started? How did they fail?

The director of planning quickly noticed Tikal and started whispering to the combat agents at the head office.

“Let’s begin.”

The personnel beyond the bamboo hut opened their mouths.

“We……. We will come back.”

—

“SFM Tikal!”

“We lost.”

Tikal bowed his head. If he had tears, they were probably dripping.

530 people were mobilized.

The high-level users from the head office, who

tore down and killed those who opposed Rising Sun, also got killed.

Who was responsible for that? Tikal did not want to level down by fighting Leeha for nothing.

If he planned to continue playing Middle Earth, he must be prepared to get chased by Rising Sun for the rest of his life.

Quitting the game was probably the most comfortable thing to do.

“H-Ha Leeha you-.”

“Let’s see, don’t speak. The moment you talk, your head would disappear. I’m not nice enough to let those who oppose me live.”

Leeha suddenly raised his musket again, and one of the Rising Sun members became silent.

He was about to try and show his last price and useless courage, however, Leeha did not tolerate even that.

“Everyone, let’s head back.”

Shoo- Shoo-!

At Tikal’s words, everyone started disappearing as they used teleport or return scroll.

Tikal, who remained until the end, looked at Leeha and logged out directly.
