Chapter 284: 284

[Black Bass’ Seal-4]

Description: “This guy is alive, the more it tastes blood, the more it awakens.. The legendary dwarf placed seven seals on the Black Bass…. On the day the right user appears, Black Bass will awaken……. The legendary rifle is waiting for a user to wake it up.

Content: Defeat a monster  at level 210 or higher at a distance of 2,500m(0/1)(0/1)

Reward: ???

‘I expected it, but it’s absurd.’

Aiming points start to change from 2,000m away. 2,500m would be beyond Black Bass’ effective range. It meant that one could only hit if one used the snipe skill to increase range.

‘Damn it, it’s that far, but-’

-Hyung, what are you doing? Quick!

-Ah, Kijeong-ah. Wait a minute.

From the next 3,000 meters, it will be a painful situation. Leeha shook off his dizzying thoughts and put the Black Bass away. Then adjusted the scope’s clicks.

Click- click- click-.

His distance from Kijeong was already within 1,000m. It wasn’t much of a problem.

-What are you doing?

-When I give you a signal, try using a skill. -Skill? What skill?

-Well. Anything. Are you ready?

-Now, wait a minute, what are you going to-

‘Mana Freezing Bullet.’

Leeha felt the familiar feeling of mana draining from his body, but there was no significant change to Black Bass. Leeha pulled the trigger without needing to adjust his breathing.

Baaaaaang–!

After a second or so, a bullet struck near Kijeong’s feet.

Since he hadn’t fired it while lying down, the bullet was fired at an angle and pierced the ground. The moment the bullet was completely buried, a blue wave spread around.

-Uwaaaa?! What are you doing, hyung!!!

-Use your skill.

-I was surprised!

-Use a skill quickly.

Leeha looked at Kijeong with the scope. He lifted his head and made some action by himself, but no light leaked from Kijeong’s body.

-What? Oh? I can’t use my skills? -Haha, didn’t a notification window pop up? -It… did not. What did you do, hyung?

‘That’s what it meant.’

One should not miss even a single word in Middle Earth.

Leeha got the sense of what ‘the prey would not even know~’ meant that was in the skill description.

It meant that while normal status abnormalities showed the caster’s name and effect, his skill did not show any notification.

‘I don’t need to be disappointed that it isn’t a dispel grade, do I?’

It was much better! At least, it was a skill that was perfect for Leeha! What could be a better skill than this for a sniper that did not want to reveal himself?

[Black Bass] was indeed a weapon specialized for [Accuracy].

Leeha shouted as he approached Kijeong, who was bewildered.

“What skill did you try to use? I was just messing with you. Let’s go!”

“Lies! What did you do? What skill did you learn?! What? What?”

“Don’t you want to go back to the capital and check the coat?”

“Ah, the coat! That’s right. Hehe, let’s go, hyung-nim.” 

After looting the [Three-Handed Ogre’s Special Club], Leeha returned to Aelstock with Kijeong. As soon as they landed in the noisy capital, what greeted them was a new quest notification window.

[The Path of Growth quest has been completed.]

[The Call of Browless quest has been created.]

The Path of Growth was a quest given by Browless. That very quest said that he would call again when Leeha had developed his strength.

‘I thought it meant releasing all of Black Bass’ seals. Well, I guess it means I don’t have to. No matter what I do in the current situation, I won’t be able to hit a target from 3,500m distance.’

In other words, it meant that the quest wasn’t related to the 7th seal in the first place. The Black Bass’ quest was completed, but there was only one thing that changed.

‘Achievements. It means that the class would be recognized differently starting from 2,000m. The timing of matching this may be proof that I have grown significantly different from before.’

Strictly speaking, it must have meant that it was because 2,000m exceeded the effective firing range of the Black Bass.

“Why, hyung?”

“N-nothing.”

Kijeong and Leeha headed to an alley with a few people in the capital.

If they took out the item openly, they would only get glares from the people around them. There were many people who recognized the guild master of Byeolcho, but few people could immediately recognize Leeha’s face.

‘Even if they know my name, it is hard to recognize my face right away. My face wasn’t even properly filmed in the video.’

He rather liked it. It wasn’t until after heading to a corner alley enough that Leeha took out the coat and lifted it.

“Wow. The color is different. Hurry! Hurry up and share the details!”

“Kek, okay. Wait.”

It was the first time Leeha looked closely as well. Just by looking, the coat had an overall dark blue color with gold highlights that showed off its beauty. Leeha shared the item information with Kijeong.

[Heroic Coat with the Sea God’s Protection]

Defense: 3,500

Effect: Water and Ice Resistance+60%, Constitution +15, Mind +5 

Requirement: Achievement [Recognized by the Son of the Sea God]

Description: A coat with the protection of the Sea God. The energy of the unfrozen sea is transferred intact. When it laughs, the sea is more peaceful than land, but when it is angry, all the seas will rise. Additional Effect: Able to use the Skill – Perfect Storm(Limited range)

“Wow, Heroic, and +3,500 on defense? What is this! I-Isn’t it made of leather?

No, cloth? What kind of defense…… and options as well……”

Kijeong could not hide the absurdity he felt.

Of course, it had lower defense than the full plate armor he was wearing, but it was close to it. Actually, that alone made no sense.

If one looked at the armor based on the job, the total defense of ranged and magic dealers cannot reach that high!

What was more ridiculous was that the owner of the coat Leeha had already achieved that.

No, strictly speaking, he did not become the ‘owner’.

‘Lending?! Damn it! Do I have to return this? Wah, I’m certain Drake said ‘I will leave it to you’ back then……

Is it possible to never return it? The options of the item was so good that it was the first thing that came to Leeha’s mind.

There was an increase in HP and MP because of Constitution + 15, and Mind +5, but what about resistance? Considering its tremendous defense, normal water or ice attribute magic would not inflict any damage to Leeha.

‘The energy of the unfrozen sea. Indeed. Is that why the ice attribute was also added?’

Leeha suddenly recalled the story of Ram Hwajeong freezing the sea. For a moment, Leeha admired her magical powers, which could freeze even things with tremendous resistance due to the setting of Middle Earth.

“Hyung, isn’t it great? Why are you saying that?” “He gave it to me while saying, ‘I will lend it to you for a while’. Fortunately, I can wear it because I fulfill the requirement…”

“Let’s keep it, hyung! Is there any way we can keep it?”

Seeing Kijeong’s eyes shine brightly, Leeha couldn’t help but laugh. They really were similar.

“Let’s think about it a little more. Anyway, it’s good, right?”

“Good?! You know as well Aren’t users at a tolerable level unable to deal any damage at all? Even skills in their 120s and 130s if they carefully cast will only deal a little bit of damage!”

Seeing Kijeong’s excessive reaction, Ha-ha felt satisfied.

It just seemed somewhat low because Black Bass had unimaginable attack power.

The attack power of the “Hummingbird” that Leeha previously used was 4,760. It meant that if he wore the coat and equip a few armors, he would be able to deflect the hummingbird’s attack.

It was at that time that Kijeong’s expression, which had been shining at Leeha like a puppy waiting for a toy, suddenly changed.

“Why?”

“…I got a call from Tale-hyungnim.”

“Is it guild related? What’s up?”

“Nothing, it’s just that. A guest had arrived. Hyung, I should go and look.”

Kijeong’s expression hardened. He hadn’t even looked at the skill’s description attached to the coat yet, but Kijeong said that it wasn’t an ordinary guest.

“Oh, okay.”

“Sorry hyung, you should show me the coat’s skill later! I’ll go now, call me if anything happens!”

Kijeong tore up a scroll in an instant. As he headed to the safe house, he could vaguely think of the person he would meet.

‘He appeared during the war…. maybe he came… it’s already in the past anyway, the circumstances of Byeolcho. ***

Leeha decided to deal with his issues first.

“Let’s look at the skill later~ I’ll go and say hello to the Director first.”

 Leeha moved to the academy to work on the suddenly completed Browless-related quest.

Bang- Baang-!

The sound of musket fire could be heard from the vicinity of Brown Bess Academy.

It was not possible to attack recklessly in Fibiel’s capital, meaning it was a sound coming from inside the academy.

‘The number of pitiful people have increased again-” 

They must have been new users dreaming of becoming a musketeer after watching Leeha’s performance. Hearing the continuous gunfire, Leeha shook his head and entered the academy.

“Director, are you there?”

Kijeong once said

The number of users and the development of the academy are proportional.

There were no more creaking, wooden hallways or dark passageways. Brown Bess Academy was already very different from the past, with subtle decorations hanging on the walls and even lighting emitted from the constant light magic.

“Waa……. All of this-”

“Thanks to your performance. His Majesty gave a lot of support for the development of the academy.”

Browless appeared Leeha with a fr, who was surprised and was looking around the academy’. His expression had brightened a lot.

“I-Is that so?”

“I never thought the rookie who wanted to take a test would grow so much. I enjoyed listening to your performance in this war as if it was mine. Well done.”

Seeing him with a proud expression Leeha felt somewhat emotional. Compared to the dark and stiff look and barbed tone when they first met, how should Leeha accept the compliment?

“It was nothing. It’s all thanks to the director’s  excellent guidance.”

Leeha humbly took off his hat and lowered his head. Browless also took off his had and greeted Leeha. It was only after the unfamiliar greetings were over that Leeha was able to digest Browless’ words. Whose activity did he just say?

“But didn’t you say ‘you guys’?” 

Creeeak-.

The door to the director’s office open when Leeha asked. Only a few people could be in the director’s office when he is in the hallway. However, the person who came out was someone who was able to.

No, it was ‘people’.

“Aren’t you pretending to do all of it by yourself?”

“K-Kidd? Why are you-”

“You’re good at running, [Bullseye].”

“Wow, even Luger?”

Leeha had the urge to take out Black Bass at that moment, but he held it in. He already had a relatively good(?) relationship with Kidd, and wasn’t it the capital? Moreover, he judged that Luger would not attack in the presence of a teacher-level NPC called Browless.

Browless, who briefly approached Leeha, wrapped his hands around his shoulder.

“Right. You, the Three Musketeers, who succeeded our Three Musketeers. That’s why I have called you here today. Come in.”

They were the first Three Musketeers in the history of the Musket Academy.

Leeha suddenly thought that the quest was completed not because he had obtained the 2,000m achievement and unlocked the Black Bass.

[The quest ‘The Call of Browless’ has been completed.]
