YM778.TV Chapter 457
In other words, the target is a one-legged hooded leg at a distance of 1.3km, with the tip of its claws only 10cm away.
It was impossible to meet the increased difficulty level compared to before without proper preparation.
“shit! It’s Hatan! Click Adjustment!”
Lee Ha cried out, biting his lower lip as if it was about to explode.
Click, click. A delicate hand adjusts the click, but I know it’s already too late.
Now, even if you hit it right, the mana evaporation bomb won’t have any effect. Having blown his one chance, Lee Ha tried to prepare for a retreat.
Even if it weren’t for Roubini’s shout.
“That hat! “All we have to do is find where Bluebeard’s hat is?!”
“yes? Ah yes. First of all, the scroll—”
“Please leave it to me.” “I’ll tell Leeha before the black cranes arrive.”
“Rubini, how did you…”
Lee Ha couldn’t even reply to Rubini’s words.
Now what? Even with Black Bess’s scope, it is difficult to spot Bluebeard’s hat.
Fortunately, this was possible because there was no special threat at the time.
Considering the hooded cranes and black-crowned cranes that are approaching them, there is no time to leisurely look for them.
“Wasn’t this the reason you chose me? 〈Three-dimensional scanner: Partial fixation〉.”
Roubini smiled and used the skill.
It was a moment when her skills, which she once used in the Sea of Dawn, shined in more detail.
Hwaaaaa……!
* * *
“This, this….”
After a while, what appeared before Rubini and Leeha’s eyes was only one living thing.
The Hooded, implemented as a hologram, was shown in front of their eyes, scaled down to a certain ratio.
Not only the movement but also every single hair was detailed in detail.
“We focused all the power of the 3D scanner on one Hooded. It shows the current state of the hooded as is, and you can even zoom in on the part you want to see—”
Shoo, shoo, shoo!
Roubini moved the hologram as if he were manipulating a smartphone screen.
Zoom in on the bluish head of Hooded from a perspective looking down from above, and zoom in on Hooded’s chest and stomach from a perspective looking up from below.
“-I’ll find it right away.”
This is exactly what Leeha expected from the beginning! It’s not like you can see a little farther than regular users.
Roubini was literally playing the role of the ultimate ‘observer’ who could even change the viewing angle and find out all the information about the target.
As Lee Ha watched her explore various parts of Hooded, not only moving the viewpoint she wanted to see but also zooming in, Lee Ha realized what she had to do.
“Great! It’s a hat! An animal like that would never wear a hat, so it would be noticeable right away! The size is around 30cm!”
“all right! Leeha- Wow!”
Tucquoa Ah Ah ───────────!
Leeha pulled the trigger without warning. Rubini let out a short scream at the sudden sound of gunfire.
However, Roubini’s scream was nothing short of cute.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
This is because Hooded, which was flying towards Leeha, glowed and roared.
The tremendous cry was enough to stop the wings of the flock of black cranes that were speeding up.
“B-Black Crane! “Guardian God!”
“The guardian deity has fallen victim to a hex!”
“Black Crane! Everyone protect Hooded! “Guardian God, in defense formation!”
I was shocked when I saw the black cranes! Leeha pulled the bolt once again and shouted at Roubini.
“Please find Rubini quickly! “I will make time!”
Lee Ha realized that his mission was to kill time.
You have to find another hat stuck somewhere on Hooded’s body.
‘There is no way I could die like this. thank god.’
Lee Ha looked into the scope again. One of the toes at the end of Hooded’s only leg was completely missing.
‘Tsk, I can’t even say it’s new blood. It’s too much for hemostasis, isn’t it?’
Information already inferred from the relationship between the ibex and the red goat Paleo, it is as if the Paleo live for their guardian deity.
The following prediction that other black cranes would become less active if he, the tribe’s guardian deity, was attacked was exactly correct.
“I will never let you live! “Are you buying the red goat’s sorcerer? The red goat?”
“Are you okay, Guardian God?”
Paleo’s older brother, the black-crowned crane, flew near Hooded, but Hooded’s expression did not look good.
“Red goat… ibex. “Why ibex?”
“What do you mean?”
“…big brother? What’s going on? “Why are we here?”
Hooded’s expression was puzzled.
However, the expression on the face of Paleo’s older brother, the black-crowned crane, was even more bewildering.
“I-I don’t understand what- what you mean, Guardian Spirit.”
“No, why are we….”
Flap───── Flap───!
Hooded flapped his wings and looked at his only leg.
As he watched blood gushing out intermittently from where his toe was cut off, his expression slowly began to change again.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t kill him. “Everyone charge in except for a few who will build the wall.”
“B-black crane!”
Soon Hooded’s mood returned to normal.
Paleo’s older brother, the black-crowned crane, responded in surprise and began conducting.
“Only twenty brothers remain! Other brothers, keep your distance! “You must not get caught up in his witchcraft!”
“Black Crane!”
Flap- flutter- flutter-!
The black-crowned cranes that were approaching Leeha changed direction and were flying toward Hooded.
“Rubini! “You haven’t found it yet?!”
“Not yet—not yet—”
“I don’t like to rush you, but please hurry!”
The hooded figure beyond the scope was gradually being obscured. Between Hooded and Leeha, the six walls of Paleo cranes were firmly formed.
At the same time, there were groups of people flying at high speed towards Leeha and Roubini.
“Go, sons! Burn the ibex’s dirty dog to death! 〈Gwangflame〉!”
Grrrr—-!
Below, I had to swallow dry saliva.
The burning black cranes that had fearlessly charged towards Bahamut’s illusion were now facing directly at him.
Fortunately, Roubini’s welcome voice came quickly.
“ah! I found it! It’s right behind the connection between the neck and body! “In human terms, behind the cervical spine!”
“It’s an area that can never be hit from the front.”
However, the contents were by no means welcome.
How can you aim behind an enemy who is facing straight ahead? There is no such magic in sniping unless the bullet bends.
Ah ah ───Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The fiery black cranes’ wedge charge had already reached within 1km.
The following had to be prepared.
* * *
“Mr. Roubini, if you think it might be dangerous, run away immediately. “Okay?”
“yes? Oh, you’re running away. Leeha, what about you?”
Roubini was embarrassed. Lee Ha suddenly became curious about her eyes after taking off the eyepatch. What kind of expression does he make in times like this?
“Mr. Roubini helped me find it, but shouldn’t it come to an end? Well then, I’ll be back! If there is danger, you must run away!”
“alone? To do it alone – Leeha! Leeha-”
Pah-!
Leeha did not listen to everything Roubini said and jumped from the top of the tree.
It was impossible to stand against the enemies approaching head on. Not only does it put Roubini in danger, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to hit the hat stuck behind Hooded’s cervical spine.
‘Gelapon!’
And as she worried, Lee Ha was not ‘alone’.
Although he didn’t bring Blaugrun, isn’t there Gelapong who will support him more reliably than anyone else during battle?
[Mmmmmmmmmmm….]
Chuwaaaat, Chuwaaaaaat───!
Without any special instructions, Jelapong stretched out his hands and started climbing the tree.
With Gelapong’s help, Leeha glided through the redwood forest, moving faster than a skilled monkey.
The direction was a little different from the 10 o’clock direction where the black cranes were coming.
It was at 2 o’clock, where the illusion of Bahamut occurred.
Looking at the cold wind and afternoon sun, Leeha felt a little sad. What if it had been a quest to kill everyone? The number of whooping cranes was well over a hundred, but I was confident about the following.
‘A combination of multiple warheads and a flamethrower could have blown away at least half of them.’
Shuuk! Shuuk!
But I couldn’t do that. It was clearly in the reward list for this quest.
[Intimacy with Hooded and his Paleos +100%]
Even if your goal is to save Hooded, if you kill a lot of Paleos, you will not be able to utilize the reward 100%.
Of course, what they were aiming for was ‘achievement’.
‘Tsk, that’s why I just knocked out the two guys before and didn’t kill them… No, but in the worst case, I’ll have no choice but to kill a few of them. Because clearing the quest comes first.’
Aim for two birds with one stone, but if that doesn’t work, kill at least one rabbit.
While moving quickly between the branches of the redwood tree, Leeha did not forget to look out for the whooping cranes.
Approximately 400m to the location where the black cranes and Leeha were!
They had no choice but to be faster than Leeha, who went a little to the 2 o’clock direction where the illusion of Bahamut was and then changed direction again to approach Hooded.
‘Then we need to speed up. Go faster, go faster! Faster than the flight of black cranes! Turn here!’
[Mmmmmmmmm!]
The effect of the teleport scroll was not visible. This means Roubini hasn’t run away yet!
Although they know Leeha’s approximate location and direction, the black cranes that have not clearly discovered Leeha will charge towards her without hesitation.
Sigh! Wow!
After turning towards Hooded, Jelapong further increased its speed as per the wishes below.
‘It’s getting closer, I haven’t noticed yet.’
At first glance, Hooded’s large body was visible through the leaves. The six walls of the black cranes were combed from below.
The hat will be right behind where the neck begins, so you only need to see it once.
What distance should you aim for?
‘In reality, it would be no different from ‘sticking up’ and shooting. After all, he’s higher than the redwoods.’
You won’t be able to shoot from a tree unless you’re completely behind it.
Because it is invisible.
Even if you catch it from behind, you can’t shoot it carelessly. There is a possibility that the bullet could penetrate the hat and crush Hooded’s cervical vertebrae.
In the end, Leeha had no choice but to fly in a diagonal direction, as if shooting off the cap of the wing tip.
“Search everywhere! And burn it as soon as you find it!”
“Black Crane! Okay, big brother!”
Paaaaaa!
The black cranes that had been flying spread out began their descent.
The whooping cranes have now almost reached Roubini’s position. Leeha, who had increased his speed, was also about to reach the point just below Hooded.
The distance is within 100m!
“Black Crane! Here—”
Shaaaaa—!
It was then that the light purple pillar rose up. You can see it below as well.
“Ugh?! Something- something used hex again! has disappeared!?”
“Black Crane! “What are you talking about?”
“There was something here that looked similar to Paleo, but it just disappeared!”
One of the whooping cranes panicked and reported to their eldest brother.
I couldn’t hear his voice, but I could roughly guess that they didn’t know about the concept of teleportation.
