Episode 16
The information Kim Se-yong brought was quite useful.
There are a total of thirteen opposing players, including the leader who handles the gun.
Their level is similar to ours, and we confirmed that the castle gate resets 2 seconds after it is destroyed.
“Did you say the distance from the city gate to the altar is approximately 60 or 70 meters?”
“uh.”
The condition for clearing the siege is occupying the altar.
It is said that the opposing side did not put up strong resistance at the castle walls for some reason.
Of course, there may have been a reason why Kim Se-yong attacked alone, but deploying only two people on the castle wall was far removed from the general characteristics of siege warfare.
“Now that I have a gun, does that mean I’m confident no matter who I fight?”
Seo Jun-ho asked me.
“well. “Maybe so.”
Confidence that no matter who comes inside the castle gates, you can finish them off by shooting them. For some reason, I feel like I have that kind of leisure.
[Time remaining: 20 hours, 8 minutes and 52 seconds]
“What does it mean to occupy the altar?”
It would have been nice if the strategy book had explained that part.
It’s unfortunate, but the only way is to check it in person.
“We probably won’t all have to go up there. In any case, the priority should be to bring down the other party’s leader who is above him.”
“You can do it, right? “There are still over 20 hours left, so I think I can give it a try a few times.”
But I answered that question firmly.
“You only get one chance. “If you fail at your first attempt, you never succeed again.”
I thought that now, when the other party was relaxed, was the best opportunity.
Besides, they probably haven’t discovered the purpose of the Hearthstone yet.
This means that their mentality is different from those of us who can fight without risking death.
I roughly came up with a strategy in my head.
First, let’s start with the substance.
[I purchased Calia’s leather clothes.]
I paid a whopping 3000 gold to buy this.
Although it is a painful expense, in the current situation, this is the best choice for cost-effectiveness.
“Did you buy those leather clothes just now?”
“yes. “I plan to use it as a bulletproof vest.”
Maybe people are wondering.
According to the item description, these leather clothes are made of a material that tears easily even with an old sword.
In other words, its physical defense is trash.
But if my hypothesis is correct, this item would make a great body armor.
“This is an item that increases magical defense by a whopping 50 percent.”
I said it like I was bragging.
“What the other person has is a gun?”
“That gun probably doesn’t fire bullets made of metal.”
“Then it couldn’t be… … .”
“yes. I know it well because Se-yong got hit, but that gun is probably shot by injecting magical energy into it. Right, Seyong?”
“uh? Ugh!”
“why? Are you suddenly feeling unconfident? “Our fate is at stake now, man!”
It was only then that Kim Se-yong’s voice became louder as I continued to criticize him.
“It’s a bundle of magical power! “It’s probably right!”
“That’s it then.”
I was also sure.
What is the use of modern firearms in a game system like this?
It had to be a magic gun.
This leather suit was purchased for a whopping 3,000 gold. It is a consumable item that protects against magic shock only five times.
“Again, you won’t die even if you die on the third floor. So let’s not be afraid and fight.”
“yes!”
What we should fear is defeat, not death.
Fortunately, morale was high.
“Then let’s leave.”
* * *
With Kim Se-yong as our guide, we climbed the mountain slope and finally arrived in front of the castle walls.
As Kim Se-yong said, two players show their faces on the castle wall.
“See you again? You bastards! “Kkkkkk!”
Kim Se-yong waved his hand upwards and trotted towards the gate. And then.
Whoa whoa!
Kim Se-yong’s stone fist, which was always exciting, hit the castle gate.
[The durability of the gate has decreased. (81%)]
As Kim Se-yong said, the castle gate was not a physical wall.
Some kind of portal or something.
But here a problem occurred.
“Seyong! stomach!”
Stones close to rocks were falling towards Kim Se-yong.

“and! Seed!”
Fortunately, Kim Se-yong barely escaped.
You won’t die from getting hit by that rock, but it will be a significant blow.
“What, you bastards! “It’s different than before!”
Kim Se-yong’s angry shout.
The two men on the wall raised their bows in silence.
I am now watching in real time through the Sage’s status window.
Both of these guys are archer type players.
It looks like they are now planning to actively defend the castle walls.
Although I still don’t understand the idea of defending a castle wall with just two people.
Kim Se-yong slowly took a step back.
Surely that arrow will be aimed at those who approach the gate.
It would have been nice to have Kim Jun-seong at a time like this, but unfortunately, we no longer have an archer-type player.
“Come out and see. “Seyong.”
The safest way is to take action myself.
I raised my indomitable sword and rushed toward the castle gate.
[Beginner swordsmanship Lv.3 is displayed.]
Since it is not a physical gate anyway, there is no need to treat it as blunt.
All you have to do is attack with the most destructive power.
It was time to show off the power of beginner swordsmanship that had been raised to level 3.
Sigh!
[The durability of the gate has decreased. (11%)]
It’s a bit disappointing that it wasn’t a close shot.
And at that moment, my body’s senses begin to sharpen.
As expected, two arrows flew towards me.
visor!
visor!
Even when I thought about it, I hit both feet in a way that was almost like a surprise.
I was prepared to get hit at least once.
Now, let’s quickly destroy the castle gate.
Sigh!
[The castle gate is open. There are 2 seconds left until the gate resets.]
As you enter the castle, you can see an altar in the distance.
I got absolute vision and zoomed in on the altar.
The leader with the gun that Se-yong Kim mentioned. No ‘bitch’.
I was curious what kind of guy he was.
How on earth did she come to be so bad that she has already reached level 13?
“So young?”
Appears to be in early to mid 20s.
At most, I am at an age where I can enjoy a university campus.
Occupation: Assassin
Level: 13
HP: 100%
MP: 150
Stamina: 23 Strength: 22 Dexterity: 23 Senses: 30
skill
Gold holdings: 16000
As expected, Salseong was right.
Fortunately, my stats are slightly superior.
Of course, if I use up all the gold I have, the story will be different.
“First, you later!”
First, I had to deal with the two guys on the castle wall.
My comrades were still unable to enter the castle due to the arrow control.
Whick!
Arrows are flying towards me.
One shot this time.
The other one is busy keeping a check on the outside of the castle walls.
visor!
It wasn’t a coincidence that I hit both shots earlier.
I easily climbed up the castle wall.
[Beginner swordsmanship Lv.3 is displayed.]
Honestly, I thought I would hesitate when this moment comes.
These are not monsters, but people like me.
We don’t even know if he’s a bad guy or a good guy.
It feels different than when dealing with the killer Kim Jun-seong.
“Wow!”
I stabbed both of them in the side.
It’s not like I have affection in my hands.
If these guys die here, they will be resurrected at the starting location through the hearthstone, which is a problem for our strategy.
“I’ll give you my life.”
First, I packed the two people’s bows into my inventory.
It’s an item I don’t need anyway unless I have archery skills, but just in case.
I was about to turn back, leaving the two people behind.
“Better kill me!”
“what?”
“Kill us and go!”
Want me to kill you?
This is a somewhat unexpected reaction.
“Why?”
“If this happens, we’ll be killed by that crazy bitch anyway!”
Because she’s crazy… … .
I think you can tell who it is right away even without hearing the explanation.
A black-haired woman looking up at me from the altar in the distance.
At that moment her arm comes up.
Could it be that on this street?
We made eye contact.
Taang!
My lower abdomen became warm along with the gunshot.
I couldn’t believe it, but I actually shot it.
There is nothing to do about this.
At the current level, if you shoot, you can only get hit.
“ha!”
Kim Se-yong’s testimony was true.
It felt like I was hit really hard by something rather than being shot.
This is true even when wearing Calia’s leather clothes.
It was so painful that even the option to increase magic defense by 50% became meaningless.
“Anyway, it’s a magic bullet.”
There was no substance to the bullet.
I quickly hid behind a pillar.
There is shock at the place where it was hit and breathing becomes rough.
Once again, I had no choice but to praise Kim Se-yong’s mental strength.
I got hit with this three times today without any armor.
When I stuck my head out and looked at Son Seo-yeon, I saw that her magical power had diminished.
Current horsepower is 140.
The magic power consumed by one magic bullet is 10.
This means that 14 more shots can be fired in the future.
“You probably haven’t found a magic recovery item yet.”
This is assuming that you used a store window of the same level as me.
First, I need to join my companions inside the castle and approach them together.
That woman also has limitations on the use of magic bullets, so she won’t be able to fire them all at once.
Fuuuuuuu!
At that moment, the sound of the gate breaking was heard.
* * *
We approached the altar where the opposing players were gathered.
Son Seo-yeon still looked at us without shooting.
There are twelve people. Fourteen bullets.
Your head will be spinning.
Even after being shot, I am still walking calmly.
Even my level is 2.
Did she really mark me as a person of interest?
Taang!
The answer was No.
In the end, her gun was pointed at Ahn Se-chang.
One of the highest level players on our team.
“Huh!”
A painful groaning sound.
Chae Yi-seol’s heel support came in immediately.
Ahn Se-chang fell into a momentary state of death and could not fully recover.
It is truly a destructive power.
Ahn Se-chang’s level is 9.
If you go through the normal process, you won’t be able to beat your pulse with a single shot, even though your level is almost at the limit.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. “Keep moving forward!”
We walked leisurely without revealing the healer’s presence as much as possible.
Even if you die here, you won’t die. With that belief, we maintained the warrior heart we first pledged to have.
Taang!
Another gunshot rang out.
This time it’s Seo Jun-ho.
He is also a level 9 player.
“Uuuuuup!”
An era of suffering for high-level people.
Maybe a few people will die from that gun.
Although they are now in formation and moving towards the opposing side, it is clear that a melee will soon break out.
In the end, it means that Chae Yi-seol cannot cover everyone.
But everyone was already prepared to die.
Se-yong Kim also said it was a good experience.
As the distance narrowed, Son Seo-yeon’s face was revealed more clearly.
Short black hair and pale skin. dead pan.
After all, she is a beauty.
It’s enough to get a top grade in most universities.
“go!”
A brief word from her.
The players gathered near the altar rushed towards us.
It was important from now on.
If a melee unfolds, it will become more difficult to prepare for Son Seo-yeon’s gun.
Healers also have a higher chance of being exposed.
But the most powerful force we have.
“Gazua!”
It was the courage to risk death.
