Chapter 950
“Damn it, get out of the way! What can you do even if you join us? You haven’t even reached level 200—.”
『”That’s right! I can’t do it! But if you all combine your strength, you can!”』
As Ram Hwayeon raised her hand, a purple light flashed endlessly on the hill.
『”With these people!”』
Gigantic gates were established on the hill overlooking the central front lines of the New Continent.
They were five gates even larger than the warp gate in the capital of Fibiel!
The promotion of war and the installation of warp gates that Ram Hwayeon and the Hwahung Guild had been preparing for a long time were finally accomplished.
“Don’t block the way, forward! Keep ranks of 300 steady!”
“First row, sit! Second row, on your knees! Third row, stand! And—.”
“Ready arrows!”
The first to appear were three wood elves.
As they immediately sprang forward, those shouting were recognized by the users.
“The Scandinavian Trio!”
“Sveor, Biyom, Huivada!”
And behind them, users and NPC wood elves poured out endlessly!
These three top-rank wood elves, other than Prea, led their kind with fervor.
As a race of order and peace, they maintained perfect ranks with calm demeanor despite being thrust into an unfamiliar and chaotic battlefield.
Ram Hwayeon whistled as she watched the state of the wood elves.
Even in the noisy and chaotic battlefield, the high-pitched whistle spread far and wide.
A group on a completely different front from the wood elves responded to the whistle.
“Alright, that’s the signal! Everyone, change targets!”
“Focus on Tiamat! We must prevent Tiamat from firing its breath attack!”
“I’ll set every bullet on fire! Prepare to fire! Match the humans’ arrows!”
The Red Goat!
The paleo also began to move at the right time.
A single faction’s long-range attacks would be insufficient. They judged that at least the concentrated firepower of two or more factions was necessary to cancel Tiamat’s breath cast.
And now, that judgment was about to be realized.
“Fire!”
“Fiiiiire!”
The wood elves’ arrows filled part of the space.
Three lines simultaneously fired arrows, and as soon as they withdrew, another three lines behind them released their arrows!
Each volley consisted of roughly 900 arrows, and in less than five seconds, another volley, and another, and another flew.
Seeing the black arrows filling the sky, the Paleos also pulled their triggers.
“Fire until the barrels melt!”
“For the honor of the bonobo Paleos! We must hit Tiamat!”
───────────────!
On one side, the wood elves’ arrows clouded vision, and on the other, the paleo’s bolt-action gunfire deafened hearing.
It was the perfect battlefield music to rally the retreating users.
“We, we too!”
“Yeah, damn it, where else can we run to? Use any skill or whatever! Just fire!”
The retreating users turned back.
And they started launching skills straight at Tiamat.
Countless long-range physical attacks and skills were directed at Tiamat. The massive barrage was enough to make the chromatic dragons circling around Tiamat retreat hurriedly.
─, ─, ─, ─, ─, ─, ─.......
However, none of those attacks reached Tiamat safely.
“Quiet. I need to concentrate, so shut up. 〈Acht-Acht〉.”
Luger immediately used the skill, and Leeha was once again amazed.
It was surprising enough that he had noticed the exact timing to shoot, but he also seemed to know where to aim.
“Indeed. I must admit, your sense is impeccable. You even know where to shoot, huh?”
Tiamat?
Now was not the time to tackle that.
To make the players’ front lines smoother and utilize them to find Ghibrid, Bluebeard, and further on, Chiyou and the 《Arcane Sniper》?
“Blow away the leftovers like last time.”
Leeha pointed to the sky where the Manticores were gathering.
Leeha had not forgotten the scene where Luger used a skill to annihilate Chiyou’s horde of bats.
“Heheh... Right, I got the idea that day. The best way to blow away all the ‘leftovers’ using my skill.”
“Huh?”
“You fool, didn’t you realize that even after seeing it?”
“Oh, th-that!? The thing from the Bottleneck’s Smithy―.”
The item among Luger’s two shells that was so riddled with holes it was unrecognizable. Luger inserted it into the muzzle of the cobalt-blue python.
Mana, turning a darker blue than usual, elongated in appearance. Prea watched in astonishment from beside him.
“What is that? It’s amazing!”
However, Leeha did not answer Prea’s question.
Was that crudely designed shell meant to be used with Luger’s new skill, the railgun-like magnetic launch cannon?
Luger chuckled as he saw Leeha’s eyes widen.
“When I blew away Chiyou’s minions, that was definitely a ‘shockwave.’ Can you understand with this much of a hint?”
“Shockwave―.”
“Wind! It’s a device for spitting out wind.”
“You’re indeed quicker than Ha Leeha. Yes! Instead of minimizing air resistance, it actually absorbs air from the front end and expels it through four holes on the side―.”
“Wow!? Th-that’s why it’s so bizarre―.”
“Ha ha ha! Don’t faint from surprise!”
Luger’s muzzle did not waver an inch.
Leeha finally realized the purpose of one of Luger’s shells. Considering it similar to a trumpet was a fairly logical guess.
After all, a trumpet also converts wind into sound. But in this case, it wasn’t converting it into sound.
‘There’s no need to add aerodynamic properties to a railgun flying at such a ridiculous speed! Especially when the shockwave released by the shell can kill the small fry it’s aimed at―.’
It draws in air and further strengthens itself!
In reality, using such an abnormal shell wouldn’t make sense.
Exchanging kinetic energy for the energy expelled around would greatly affect its lethality.
But he was Luger.
A hunter with the highest level of scent and instinct among Middle Earth’s users.
Even if he could inflict just one more damage point than the total HP of the prey?
The monster would die either way.
“Magnetic Field Cannon.”
Luger demonstrated the answer.
The recoil was so overwhelming that it made Luger roll back twice, the roar louder than Tiamat’s, and the deafening noise as the shell flew through the air.
When everything settled, nothing was left in the sky where over forty Manticores had been flying.
Only shredded pieces of meat were scattered around.
The shockwave blew Kidd’s hat off, and dirt and sand covered Leeha’s face, but the two couldn’t react immediately.
“... Are you crazy, Luger?”
“Indeed, this will definitely open Ghibrid’s lid wide.”
These were the first words they managed to utter once they’d finally regained some strength.
