Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Side Story Episode 14
4. Witch (3)
“…Yes?”
Ran is next to me and asks.
“Oh no. “I’m talking to myself.”
“Is that letter from Laurent?”
“maybe.”
Almond answered like that and went around among the soldiers to collect arrows.
It didn’t take long to convince him that it was better for me to shoot than for you to shoot.
[Time Remaining]
[00:09:12]
The owner of the letter told him to survive for 10 minutes. About a minute of that has already passed.
Around that time, strange signs begin to appear.
thud…! thud…!
A strong shock began to come from the entrance to the basement, which had been tightly locked.
It’s about to break through.
‘Is there still a way out?’
The mercenaries are still busy trying to find a way out somewhere here.
Meanwhile…
“Uh! Everyone, leader! There is a way out…!”
Drurr.
The soldiers shouted excitedly as they pushed aside the heavy display case.
“Found… It’s done…”
Cooung…!
As the display case collapsed, the escape route revealed was just as the mercenaries had been informed in advance.
The only difference is that the iron door melted as if it had been welded and could never be opened.
“….”
There was silence for a moment.
‘This is why you have to survive for 10 minutes.’
Only then did Almond properly understand the contents of the letter, and the rest of the mercenaries looked at each other as if they could not understand anything.
“Who left the information?”
One of the mercenaries shouted and got angry.
“He didn’t trick us!”
A fight broke out between the mercenaries.
Ran tugged on Almond’s sleeve.
“Almond….”
“It’s okay.”
Almond tells Ran to relax.
“There is a way.”
“How…?”
Ran asks while looking around the underground factory. A place where everything is blocked except for a small window high up so high that you can’t even dare to touch it.
When the lights go out, you will probably be immersed in darkness. This is like walking into a dungeon.
dump.
Ran sat down.
“Haa… haa….”
He breathes harshly, clutching his heart.
“What?”
“The heart of poetry…”
I guess the fear I felt in the dungeon came back to me. As a trauma.
“Ran.”
“Potion….”
“Potion?”
I want you to give me a potion.
“That’s not possible.”
Almond refused.
chin.
But Ran’s hand tightly grips the area around his knee.
“Oh, quickly. They say a small amount doesn’t matter, right? Potion actually works.”
What should I do with this? First of all, I think it would be right to give it to this guy when he asks for it.
“here.”
gulp. gulp.
While Ran was recovering her mental and physical stability with a potion.
[Remaining time]
[00:08:01]
The remaining time approaches 7 minutes.
Up to this point, nothing has happened… but
that’s only for now.
“stop.”
As the leader’s voice rings out, the mercenaries who were fighting each other stop.
“Errors in intelligence will be judged later. Now prepare for battle.”
thud.
The direction the leader pointed to is above. This is the entrance to a blocked underground factory.
There, a heavy sound echoes from before.
Coo…!
Now is the time to slowly break down.
Ting… Tirring….
There is even the sound of metal pieces rolling on the floor.
-Something big is coming…!
– Haha boss battle
– It’s just the beginning.
Almond, who glanced at the viewers’ words, also prepared for battle.
Sreung.
The leader draws his sword and speaks.
“If you resist until you die, you will be able to break through.”
It felt like I was being rude if I interrupted what was being said to boost morale. Almond has no choice but to intervene.
“no. “You just have to hang in here.”
“…what?”
“I called a helper.”
Loud. Loud.
The mercenaries whisper with dumbfounded expressions.
The leader also nods his head and asks.
“That helper… can he save us all?”
Almond nods without any hesitation.
“yes.”
Kwaaaaang!
The sound of the door breaking rang out.
The sound of the half-broken iron door rolling back and forth on the stairs is loud.
“Oh my…”
“It’s coming!”
“Shit…!”
I’m going to go to the middle of the day…!
Pure white light emanates from above. How intense is the wavelength of light that penetrates even solid matter?
Quaaaaang──
That light even destroys the stairs, penetrates the floor, and lands exactly in front of Almond and Ran.
──Pazy! thud!
This text appears above the lump of light.
[Prophet – Nemesis]
This guy is like a boss.
“Ahahahaha!”
At first glance, it was a lively laugh, but it felt like madness.
The light gradually faded and soon took on the shape of a human being.
“you. “What did you think would happen if you came in so recklessly?!”
It was a man whose hair was glowing like white lightning. No, not just the hair, but all the hair on the body, including the eyebrows, is glowing.
“What now~~!? Even the stairs were destroyed! If you don’t fly like a bird, you’ll all be dead here!?”
The bulging eyes show that he is an unusual person.
chuck!
He holds out his finger.
Then the mercenaries flinched as a group and aimed their crossbows and bows.
Even though my fingers did nothing but just wave left and right.
“Tsk tsk. “You guys aren’t the only ones with intelligence~”
“It’s a joke.”
“Hmm~?”
A voice that felt monotonous cut off his words. He is the leader.
“It’s a joke. “Don’t believe it.”
A confident answer that came out as if he had been waiting for it.
Nemesis pointed at the leader, asking how he could speak like that.
“Unless they are idiots who dare to tell you that they have intelligence. Of course it’s a lie. And….”
Pajijijik…!
Mana begins to flow into the leader’s bow.
It is a clear blue mana.
‘…uh?’
Almond’s mouth opens blankly.
The leader pulls the bowstring and speaks to Nemesis.
“…I don’t trust contractors.”
Kwagwagwagwang-──
The leader’s arrow, imbued with terrifying magical power, pierces Nemesis.
Yes. It penetrated. To put it in a good way, it was pierced, but in a bad way, it just passed by.
──Quaaang!
The leader’s arrow hit the back wall of Nemesis.
“Ah ah ahahahahahahah!”
Nemesis is still smiling brightly in the same position.
“That’s fun! “To think something like that would work for me!”
Whoa whoa!
Nemesis let out a strange scream and turned into light again.
In that state, he rushed at the mercenary group and raided the camp.
──Chaaaaaa!
“Kwaaaak!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh…!”
Four or five mercenaries fall as if electrocuted by light.
The leader tried shooting more arrows one after another.
All passed this time too.
The same goes for Almond’s attack.
But there was only one attack that worked.
…pop!
“?!”
The person Nemesis was looking at in bewilderment was Ran.
“…Why is the pure white believer here?”
Ran completely ignored those words and spoke to Almond.
“My whiteness and the author’s purity are the same, so my attack works.”
“…?”
“Please cover me.”
I see
This game was to be a game of protecting Ran.
[Time Remaining]
[00:06:32]
About 6 minutes to go.
You just have to last 6 minutes.
“okay.”
But there is only one opponent, so what are you supposed to cover? The moment you do it.
It’s a joke!!!
Nemesis suddenly glowed, and numerous spirit-like things appeared.
They feel like the ghosts I saw before, but they are just much brighter in color.
“Wipe it away!”
As Nemesis shouted, leaning back almost 120 degrees, the summons all drew their swords.
Slurp!
They run forward.
My attack will work on those guys. After thinking about it, Almond shoots them with a bow.
‘Where is the weakness?’
Not knowing where the weak point was, he fired as many as eight arrows evenly.
“Big…!”
Through the summoned beast’s reaction, we learn that there is a ‘core’ in the exact center of these guys.
“There’s a core in the middle!”
After Almond relayed the information to the mercenaries. They started shooting summoned animals in earnest.
Paang! Paaaaang!
‘Two rooms.’
What’s really annoying is that if you hit the nuke, you didn’t die in one hit, you had to hit two to get caught.
These guys are quite annoying.
However, Almond did not give in and took out all the summons that tried to come near Ran.
Sigh! Sigh!
‘Two guys.’
I already sent the second one.
‘Three, four…’
There were about 15 of them that were summoned, but four of them have already disappeared. It’s close to half.
‘five.’
It didn’t take long for that to increase to five.
Sigh! Phew!
Two shots in succession hit the core again.
‘six.’
The summoned creatures fall one after another like dominoes. The mercenaries were looking at Almond in surprise.
Nemesis was busy blocking Ran’s attack.
He is using the same shield that Dahlia used earlier.
However, the column of now is not the column of then.
Ran attacked so fiercely that he couldn’t think of anything else other than deploying his shield.
Nemesis, who had a troubled expression, tried to attract his summons for a moment, but then turned into a frustrated expression.
“Buh already?!”
This is because all the summons that were created have disappeared.
He briefly released the shield and created a summon again, but the result was the same.
Pubububung…!
No, it wasn’t the same; more people died more easily.
In the end, only pure white mana was wasted.
Nemesis had a seething expression on his face.
“Oh my! “You bastards!!!”
Quagwagwang!!!
Red electricity swept everywhere, and his new form rose upward.
The pure white mana turned bright red.
‘Phase 2’
It seems we have moved on to Phase 2.
[Time Remaining]
[00:04:59]
With exactly 5 minutes left.
* * *
-Wow, look at the speed at which it moves to phase 2 haha
-You can only last for 10 minutes, so doing this would be at a disadvantage ㅠㅠㅠ
-???: Stop being good at almonds! (sincerely)
– I’m actually so good at this that it becomes difficult lol
.
I thought that almonds were a disaster.
‘Shouldn’t I have dealt with it this quickly?…’
By dealing with the summoned beast too quickly, it seemed like I had incited Nemesis’s power even more.
I tried to kill him, forgetting that I had to last 10 minutes.
However, from the looks of it, actually killing him was close to impossible.
“Kaahahahahahaha!”
When he burst into flames and swung his arms, red lightning swept away the entire factory.
Quagwang!
The red mercenaries fall like dominoes.
Even the leader was blown away by the shock without being able to do anything properly.
‘All-round attack?’
He attacked in all directions with a single swing of his arm. This wasn’t the kind that could be beat.
In the meantime, I could barely survive on the almonds and eggs.
“Gwae… are you okay….”
I started crying.
It was thanks to Ran who stopped it by spilling blood.
He used all his pure white mana as a shield to block the attack.
However, blood is leaking out of the mouth as if the mana is almost depleted.
“Kaahahahahahaha!”
It looks like the next attack is coming again.
It’s so scary…!
A lot of red mana is gathering.
He swings his arm.
Quagwang!
The remaining red mercenaries were all completely defeated this time, and blood was now gushing out of Ran’s nose.
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssswww…”
Ran gritted her teeth and held back a scream.
Almond checks the time.
[Time Remaining]
[00:03:52]
Only about a minute has passed.
‘There must be a way.’
I had to find a way.
It made no sense to endure like this.
“Kaaahahahah! there? “I think you two are the only ones left~?”
Nemesis is now paying attention to this area. The attack will come in a different way than before.
Can that really be prevented? It’s an omnidirectional attack, so there’s no room to avoid it.
‘It won’t be omnidirectional all the time.’
Since it’s a game and it’s a boss monster… it doesn’t make sense for every attack to be unavoidable.
‘I think this is a device to eliminate the mercenary group’s help.’
The two attacks just wiped out only the mercenary group.
The intention of the game is probably to have Ran and Almond survive with their own strength.
No, the point is that the player must endure through his own strength.
“Ran.”
“yes.”
“How many times can you last?”
Now there were only eggs and almonds.
“…It will take about a couple of times.”
It seemed like he made an unreasonable estimate. Almond had no choice but to bet on this.
“Then… follow me!”
Percussion!
Almond kicked his feet and ran somewhere.
“yes? yes…!”
