YM778.TV Chapter 73
Matsushige made a decision. He would leave the Chieftain and run away and would come back to hunt it when wearing the right items.
Meanwhile, Ha Leeha would die, which would have the effect of slowing down his growth and his potential threat.
“Hana-chan! Are you ready?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Kaa-! Humans, kaa!”
“Stop! Kaa!”
Matsushige and Mame Hana started running again.
It had already been confirmed that space magic such as ‘Teleport’ could not be used inside the village.
“Run, run!”
The entrance will be coming soon.
While the kobold guards followed, Matsushige tore another scroll.
“Haa–, Ma-chan! Ma-chan!”
“You can do it, Hana-chan! ‘Swamp’!”
In an instant, the ground that the kobolds were running on turned into a swamp. The hard ground instantly began to suck the kobolds in.
“Kuwat–! Kaa, my foot, my foot is missing kaa-.”
“Ka- human wizard…”
Unlike the kobold guards who were bewildered in the gurgling land, Hijuit-Ka stood calmly.
“They are here, Hana-chan! Take my hand!”
“Ma-chan!”
Matsushige and Mame Hana ran with all their might.
Finally, they were at the entrance of the village. A newly spawned kobold guard looked at Matsushige, but he didn’t care.
“We’re here!”
“Let’s go! Re-”
Matsushige ripped a scroll while holding Mame Hana’s hand. In the distance, they could feel the eyes of Hijuit-Ka, who was still in the swamp and was staring at them.
“-turn!”
Did they see it wrong? At the last moment, Hijuit-Ka’s head seemed to shake.
‘I don’t have time, I need to hurry!’
Leeha opened his map.
Although the lines were hazy, Leeha’s eye quickly read the map.
‘There was no hill to climb straight up. However, if that was the case…’
Leeha took his eyes off the map and looked to the west. There was a watchtower. There were no archers.
‘Is there only one solution? If I make one shot, I will get caught.’
But it can’t be helped. It was a one-shot fight anyway. He would not achieve anything if he thought about failure.
‘Failure is the result of trying, there would be no success nor failure if I don’t try. I can only trust in myself.’
Leeha immediately climbed the watchtower.
“Phew.”
His musket was already reloaded. Leeha held his musket on the fence of the watchtower and looked around.
‘They were running towards the entrance-‘
“Huh?”
Hwaaak一!
Leeha found a blazing fire after a moment. What? Is there a wizard there?
The screams of kobolds could be heard from afar. Behind them, there was Hijuit-Ka, who was casually standing while holding his Eonwoldo.
‘Alright. It would be better if more of them died!’
Leeha aimed his musket directly at Hijuit-Ka.
From now on, he would not tolerate a single mistake or calculation error. Leeha immediately started to prepare to snipe.
The first thing one needs to consider is the wind.
How to check the wind?
‘The smoke from the wall of fire.’
The black smoke rose vertically.
‘Judging from the smoke, there was hardly any wind. It was very weak. lm/s, south-southwest…. At this distance, there is no difference in trajectory.’
It was because there was no wind. Anyway, he was glad. Leeha measured the distance immediately.
The wall of fire was extinguished.
A few kobold guards started running.
When they were running down the road, Leeha was not able to see Hijuit-Ka, however, as they kept moving towards the entrance, he was able to see it at a single glance.
‘Users… three? Two people? Looking at the reflected light, there is only one tanker or a melee dealer. The other must be a wizard.’
The village was very spacious.
The distance between Leeha and the group near the entrance would be 150m, at most, from the center to the iron mines and the watchtower.
‘The further they go, the more difficult it will be. I’ve never shot at this distance before.’
Hijuit-Ka’s height meant that it was easy to identify as a target, but there was not much difference in the difficulty of hitting the target.
As the distance increases, the difficulty increases exponentially.
158m, 166m, 172m.
The kobolds kept running.
‘Stop, stop!’
When Leeha screamed inwardly, the distance between the users and the kobolds grew closer.
At the same time, the kobolds stopped.
As if they couldn’t move anymore.
‘What? Is it just a feeling? Did they get shorter?’
Even Hijuit-Ka’s head, which he had been aiming at for a while, went down a little. He couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on over there.
He instinctively realized that this was his only chance.
The kobolds stopped.
The users will soon reach outside the entrance. After the users run away, the kobolds would come back to Leeha’s location.
This was the last time that they would stop, and the streets had opened up.
Leeha inhaled.
‘One shot. It’s one shot for Hijuit-Ka’s head.’
The distance was 180m. There will be some errors, but it would be between 179.8m and 180.2m.
‘It’s okay. It’s okay… I can see Hijuit-Ka well. The distance where the cameraman was in Tiwi Canyon was 230m. This is much shorter.’
However, the images recorded could be zoomed in and out.
Except for the first few seconds, most of what Leeha saw was also zoomed in, so he couldn’t compare directly.
Still, he had to think that way….to boost his confidence.
‘Huuuuu……’
The sense of realization of the scale and the line of sight matched the scope. He was so focused that he could feel his brain beating.
‘Haaaa……’
When it got to the point where it felt like a laser pointer was aimed at Hijuit-Ka’s forehead,
it also entered Leeha’s field of view. The users leaving the village.
However, even though he caught it in his field of view, Leeha could not recognize them. Because all of his focus was on Hijuit-Ka, and it kept him from seeing other things.
‘Calm Mind.’
When it felt like even the pulse had stopped due to slow breathing, Leeha pulled his index finger.
Taaang–!
By the time the gunshot rang out in the Hijuit Kobold Tribe, the users had already disappeared.
Leeha did not remove his eyes from the scope for a long time.
He just quietly and carefully raised his left arm into the air.
Twak.
He clenched his fist.
[You leveled up.]
[You leveled up.]
[You leveled up.]
[You leveled up.]
“Phew…”
He didn’t think that he would have wanted to scream more than usual.
He leveled up four times. He reached level 31. He completed the quest clearing conditions. He felt like nothing could go wrong.
A sensation ran from the tip of his fingers to the tip of his toes.
Only the feeling of having achieved his goal was running wild in Leeha’s body.
[Hijuit Chieftain, Hijuit-Ka, has fallen.]
[All kobolds in the Hijuit tribe are weakened for 1 hour.]
“50%?”
The kobolds that the Rising Sun guild members had killed have not yet respawned. The kobold guards who escorted Hijuit-Ka were cleaned up by the unknown users.
In that situation, the rest of the kobolds were 50% weaker?
“Really… I should thank those who ran away. Hehehe.”
Leeha couldn’t hide his joy.
The idea that he had to hunt Hijuit-Ka and run away immediately changed.
‘Let’s pick up the items!!’
Besides, it was not just one or two items. The items were dropped by the Rising Sun guild members.
The sundries of the dead kobold guards. The item that Hijuit-Ka dropped. And… and…
‘Warehouse!!’
The kobold warehouse in the iron mines. Of course, there were a few adult kobolds as it was a breeding area, but it did not matter.
For an hour, they could only use half of their strength.
Besides, the present Leeha was invincible.
[Achievement: Hunted the Surviving Deputy Commander of the Second Human-Demon War(C-)]

“Oh…?”
Two achievements and one hall of fame in one shot. However, the description caught Leeha’s eye, which was slightly different from usual.
“Why are you still here? Make way for the next generation~”
The increase in stats also changed compared to the equal distribution of stats before. Hijuit-Ka was an agile monster, is that the reason it focused on agility?
Leeha, who wanted to dance out of joy, was very calm when he judged and analyzed.
‘From here on out, it would be difficult to one-shot even when using a normal skill… It would even be difficult for high-level users. If they were tankers, it would be almost impossible to one-shot them.’
He felt the more serious the description was, the more effect it carried.
“Hehehe…”
Anyway, it was a good thing. If he was a normal level 27 or lower user, it might not have been possible. However, there was a reason it was possible.
‘The Rising Sun guys really helped.’
Leeha opened the notification window and looked at the past messages.
[Achievement: Righteous Kill (D)]

Reward: 12 Stat points
“Hehehe… Thanks for these.”
The achievements he got when he killed the Rising Sun guild member, Kuschner!
These stat points have already been used, when he first hid in the tree.
In other words, while Tikal, Petal Kim, and the other Rising Sun guild members were still alive, all 20 points were invested in agility.
‘His stats were originally close to level 50, but after the 20 points were added… It may have exceeded level 50 stats.’
Besides, he had a title.
Leeha was currently using the title ‘Fearless’ which increased his attack power by 10% by default.
If there were more than 20 levels of difference, Leeha’s attack power would be increased by a whopping 30%.
