Matan’s Shooter

Kidd frowned at the pain and asked for a party. Leeha accepted the request without hesitation! And Leeha could hear his answer.

It didn’t come out of Kidd’s mouth. It was because of the light purple membrane that covered the sky.

“……It is too late now.”

Kidd bit his lip in resignation. Leeha’s eyesight was second to none.

When he poked his head out, he saw a man with a torn scroll in the distance.

An impressive man with blonde hair that seemed to shine brighter because of his pure white skin and neat pomade coat approached.

“Shoot.”

“What? That person? Oh, I know Kidd but I don’t want to make an enemy because of you-”

“Hey, would he think like that? You won’t be able to think like that after you get a wind hole in your lungs.”

Leeha loaded his musket. Why were the three musketeers like this? Shouldn’t they have a conversation first?

‘These bastards aren’t even primitive. What’s the use of your mouth?’

Even if he complained, he didn’t mind. Who was Kidd? He was the one who faced Shin Nara.

[Rapid Fire] Kidd was someone who had inherited Browless’s attribute. What kind of man would he run away from with a hole in his side?

‘[Pierce] is strong, what he said was not a lie.’

Leeha laid on his side and went into a shooting posture.

Step, step. He probably hadn’t found them yet.

‘It’s not far away. Less than 250m.’ It was possible to hit at that distance, Leeha carefully raised his musket. Fortunately, [Pierce] also stopped moving.

‘If I shoot now, I would definitely hit-’

He couldn’t finish aiming. He looked  through the gun barrel. As he stood, what weapon did the blonde-haired man raise?

Seeing the man hold a cannon, Leeha’s back trembled. It was pointed right at Leeha’s direction.

‘-no!’

“Waaak!”

Leeha rolled his body and screamed. Not minding whether he gets dirty or not, he rolled on the ground and went behind the tree.

Thump,thump,thump- He felt his heart beat faster. It wasn’t due to the combat assistance system. The pressure made Leeha’s body heat up.

“Did you feel it too? As expected……”

“Haa, haa, what? That’s……. What is that?”

Kidd spoke as if he admired what Leeha had felt, but Leeha wasn’t happy at all.

Because fear covered his body right now.

‘If I pulled the trigger- no, I would have died before I could pull it.’

What kind of  weapon  was aimed at him? At least in terms of sense, Leeha felt that he would ‘die’.

It was different from when he aimed at Igor,when he was perfectly prepared. The pressure Leeha felt was more than what he felt from Igor.

“The strength of [Bullseye] cannot be used because of the distance. Phew……”

Kidd glanced at his wounds and sighed.

“I will buy you some time.”

“What?”

“I won’t last long.”

“N-no, wait!”

Without waiting for Leeha to respond, Kidd stood up.

As his coat opened, four crimson colored pistols hung from his waist,their color was as thick as scorched blood.

The blonde pomade man stopped and looked at Kidd.

“Kidd.”

“I will play with you for a while, Luger.”

Following [Rapid Fire] Kidd, [Pierce] Luger appeared in front of Leeha.

It was Luger who fired first.

A Cobalt Blue named after the color of the deepest lake. It wasn’t a bullet that was fired when his shot ended.

Claaaaang—!

“D-danger-”

Leeha’s warning was late. Fortunately, Kidd’s movement was faster than Leeha’s words.

Leeha saw Kidd raising two pistols.

After that, by the time the gunshots were heard one after another一 four bullets  had already been fired.

‘Crazy!’

Luger ran with his gun raised to cover his face.

Clang, clang, from the sound of the impact, it meant that every bullet Kidd fired was aimed precisely at Luger’s face.

It was surprising that he was able to aim at such speed, but Luger, whose face was covered with a huge barrel, did not have a difficult time blocking him.

‘I don’t know what’s happening, but I have to stop the fight for now.I will hit [Pierce]’s leg-’

It took less than 5 seconds for Leeha to organize his thoughts. Meanwhile, a gunshot was heard again.

Bang- Bang-!

It took that fast for four pistols to be loaded. Kidd ran around Luger and pulled the trigger again.

Luger had already moved, so the bullets bounced off gravel or weed.

Mobile reloading was nothing for the two of them. No, it wasn’t just simple movements.

They made the right move by measuring their opponent’s reload and firing time. Even Luger with that heavy looking gun never lagged behind Kidd’s speed.

‘What’s their reload speed……? Additionally, Luger’s movements were perfect evasive maneuvers.’

There’s  a reason for Kidd being called [Rapid fire]. It took Leeha 7 seconds to reload the needle-gun pistol. But he was able to reload four pistols within 5 seconds?

While Leeha was lost in thought for a moment, Kidd screamed urgently.

“Hurry! Look for a chance-”

Claaaaang—!

And when he stopped talking, a loud gunshot was heard.

Kidd managed to roll over, and the bullet that narrowly skimmed against his body pierced through a few trees at least 200m away..

Craack, craaack, the sound of falling trees could be heard  from Leeha’s position.

‘What? What kind of bullet did he shoot to pierce through the trees? Besides, how many? They’re not even armor-piercing bullets!’

It wasn’t a bullet made of iron. It could penetrate through a target! Bullets designed and manufactured with the purpose of penetration are called armor-piercing bullets.

‘No, is it an armor-piercing bullet that went through Kidd’s body? Did he make something like that? This…… This is out of Middle Earth!’

Leeha could not believe their battle.

Is this a battle of people with ‘guns’? This was more like a battle between a heavy tank and a light tank.

Kidd ran around Luger at a high speed as he fired his pistols. His movements were as agile as a martial artist, and he could reload four pistols within five seconds.

What about the accuracy and the shooting speed? The bullets flew right over Luger’s shoulder or head, and all four shots were fired almost simultaneously.

His movements were ‘like a martial artist’.

So what about Luger? He dodged or blocked the four fierce shots that poured out every 5 seconds. He wouldn’t have been able to see the bullets, so his actions had to be understood as a prediction of Kidd’s aim.

Even with perfect evasive maneuvers, his reload time took about 10 seconds or so. What was fired each time was a cannone, with a lot of destructive power! In one shot, the ground was plowed, rocks were smashed, and bullets flew to the extent that several trees were toppled.

In the midst of shots and loud explosions Leeha was at a loss.

What could he do in this situation? It was a more vivid and daunting scene than the battle between Hwahong and the Byeolcho Alliance.

“I’m not interested in you, Kidd. Hand over [Matan’s Shooter].”

“He hasn’t- earned it yet. It’s just a nickname!”

Boom, Kidd threw himself to avoid Luger’s attack. His HP was already very low.

Moreover, although Leeha did not know, it was after being  hit by the cursed bullet once.

It wasn’t that his HP simply did not recover, but the more he moved, the more his HP decreased.

“Ha Leeha! Hurry! I can’t hold out any longer一” Leeha, who stared blankly at the battle, sobered up at Kidd’s shout.

‘What are you doing, you idiot! Anyway, Kidd is fighting for you. You have to help.’

Leeha was in a knee-shooting posture. If he was in a crawling-shooting posture and Luger’s muzzle were to be pointed at him, he wouldn’t even have the room to dodge.

“Huuu…… huuu……. Eagle’s eyes, Delicate Hand Movement, Snipe.”

He used his skills all at once. And Leeha aimed at Luger.

“Hmm?”

Luger noticed it too. He felt someone looking at him from somewhere.

He ran in a zigzag fashion and widened the distance! It was a movement he was all too familiar with in a battle of firearms.

“This-”

How was he supposed to shoot someone who moves like that? Leeha aimed the Hummingbird at Luger,but it was not easy to aim at a person who had started evading.

“I see. Is that the [Marksman]?” Bang, bang, the sound was followed by shooting echoes. Luger finally found Leeha.

“I won’t back down. At least with you-”

“I don’t need you anymore.”

It was a miracle in itself that Kidd, whose field of vision was limited to half, was able to face Luger for so long.

However, Luger leisurely took a bullet out of his bag and finished reloading, as if he had intentionally overlooked the attacks so far.

“Goodbye, Kidd.”

Leeha saw it. The muzzle of [Pierce]’s gun was slightly lowered. It was not aimed at the person who was trying to hit him from the beginning.

‘Maybe!’

“No!! Kidd! Don’t run there!!!”

Boom—!

The cannonball headed towards the ground where Kidd was about to move.

Hearing Leeha’s shout, Kidd stopped in a hurry.

Kwakakakak!

Kidd’s foot would have been removed if he had taken two more steps.

In the crushed earth, bullets were lodged. It was Leeha who discovered what the bullets were first.

“Hmm? T-that- that……? No way……”

While looking at Kidd, what caught Leeha’s eyes was a long red bullet that turned red.

Kidd, who was relieved that he had barely avoided the bullet, saw the bullet lodged in the ground.

“Jesus…”

What can be said to be the peak in killing human life?

What if it didn’t explode immediately and has a penetrating power……?

The name of the cannonball immediately came to Leeha’s mind, as he had learned about it when he was an NCO.

“APHE(Armor Piercing High Explosive).?”

An armor-piercing round that can be used to shoot down tanks. It was a nightmare.

TL’s Note:Decided to change The Marksman to Matan’s Shooter, to stay true to the Korean title of the novel.
