Arcane Sniper - Chapter 158

Magic poured out from behind them without casting. The shields they held in front of them felt useless.

“The Ice Blast was shot on the Ice Spikes on purpose?”

Their movements were agile, however, they were unable to dodge.

Ram Hwajung had no intention of targeting them from the beginning. Her goal was to break the ice spike with great force and make them scatter everywhere!

“Don’t worry about your shields! Just throw it away! It’s better to move forward! What about the rear? What about our rear?”

Although the vanguard was suddenly devastated, the rear could not help.

“Fire spear-!”

“Aura bolt-!”

Boom, boom, boom-!

The ice wall had been considerably damaged, but it was not completely gone.

“I-I can’t see properly so I can’t heal! Come this way! I-is there no one in front?! Come over here!”

The healers got flustered. They no healing target.

Something lingered over the ice wall, however, it couldn’t be targeted! Did Ram Hwajung also aim for this?!

“Ahhh一―This bitch!”

With three shots of magic, the ranks of the 70 were in disarray and their communication was cut off.

If they were normal users, they would have been overwhelmed and not able to show their strength. However, dragon Knights and Seomgwang were experienced.

“We just have to kill her! Just kill her! As long as we kill Ram Hwajung, our mission is complete!”

They had to kill one expert even if they had to sacrifice the life of 70 users.

The guild master of Dragon Knights ran forward, ignoring the wreck made by Ice Spike. Thanks to his courage, the other dealers drank potions and moved forward!

“Did you think I have any long-ranged attack!?”

Kuoook, the muscles of the Dragon Knights’ guild master expanded.

Red light flashed from his hand and flowed into the spear he was holding.

“Gae Bolg!!!!”

Shooot—-

The spear flew through the air.

Bolg, one of the best throwing skills, scattered red energy and was shot towards Ram Hwajung.

It was a speed that could not be avoided with the agility of a magician! As long as the direction was correct, there was only one thing left for her!

Chwaak…

“Please die!”

The spear flew towards Ram Hwajung’s chest. Even the people watching were so surprised that their eyes widened.

“Yes!!! Ram Hwajung is !”

“Ram Hwajung has been killed! Ram Hwajung is dead-”

“Wh… at? Why didn’t she die?”

Soon they doubted their eyes.

Although her stomach got pierced, she did not die. She was still moving.

“How… did she ?”

“No, that… what the hell is that?”

What did Gae Bolg pierce in the first place?

Small cracks began to form near the pierced Ram Hwajung.

Crack, craack—

“… Illusion…?”

“No, it’s not an illusion-”

“She took advantage of the refraction of light… and created a mirror…”

Craaash-!

The thin layer of ice broke and her figure disappeared.

From the beginning, she was using ice magic that completely froze parts of space.

She could even make use of Middle Earth’s sunlight for her ice magic.

Although it was Dragon Knight and Seomgwang expected she was not a genius of war or strateg.

Unfortunately for them, her genius on playing Middle Earth went beyond all of that.

“Fuck…”

The ‘real’ Ram Hwajung appeared next to the ice mirror that Gae Bolg had pierced.

“Frozen Orb.”

A sphere of ice shot from her wand. The sphere shot out ice awls in all directions.

No, absorb Hole-!

There was a sudden cry. The ice awls, which had been scattered, were sucked into the hole.

The ice sphere heading to the Dragon Knights’ guild master also changed its trajectory.

“Gaeryong-nim, calm down.”

“S-Sasuke-nim.”

When Ram Hwajung’s magic got destroyed, people from Byulcho appeared and helped the Dragon Knights and Seomgwang’s key figures.

“Sage Hyein.”

“Ram Hwajung…”

Absorb Hole was magic that engulfed ranged and magic attacks. The mana consumption depended on the number of attacks.

Then what happened to Hyein’s mana?

He couldn’t help but be surprised when he opened his character window, upon checking almost half of his mana was gone.

‘There was such strong magic… I also left as soon as I heard from Gaeryong.’

As soon as he heard the news that Ram Hwajung appeared, Sasuke and the other members started to move.

He could not handle using space movement magic all at once, so he split it several times, and it took 15 minutes to get to Tygonas Plains.

‘But what happened to the 70 Dragon Knight and Seomgwang members? In just 15 minutes?’

Is this the difference between rankers and non-rankers? No, this is the difference between the top 10 and top 100.

Ram Hwajung cast a new spell again as if she was not curious of Hyein’s thoughts.

It was Hyein’s turn to carry out his plan. He had to get Ram Hwajung this time.

“Dimension Lock!”

He locked a wide space. To prevent Ram Hwajung’s reinforcements from reaching her.

There were 50 Byulcho members that arrived. Combined with the existing personnel who had conserved their strength, the number of people facing Ram Hwajung was over 70 again.

“Encircle her! Approach from all sides! Ram Hwajung does not have much mana left, we can kill her! Even if you only hit Ram Hwajung once, you will have a great contribution to this war!”

Uwooohhh—!!

Hyein boosted the morale of the Byulcho Alliance.

Ram Hwajung no longer had much mana, so her casting was short and was mainly used for spells that did not consume a lot .

“Ice spear, ice spear, ice spear, ice spear.”

However, the problem was if they hit in the legs, it would have a freezing effect.

Chochochok-!

Some of the people surrounding her got hit directly. There were two people whose thighs got stuck together and another whose legs got stuck on the ground… She was shooting magic while running.

“Wow, what kind of magician can move like that-”

“C-crazy bitch. That’s a cheat. That’s a cheat!” A magician that could cast ice spear while running. From the point of view of the victims, they were infantry getting shot by a tank.

“Catch her! Fast! She’s still slower than us! She can never run away!”

More victims appeared but the Byulcho Alliance members clenched their teeth and followed Ram Hwajung.

Mages that have no movement skills and cannot move through space have clear limitations even if they were fast.

A swordsman wielding dual swords and a warrior holding a shield approached Ram Hwajung.

“I got her一!! Sky Split!”

“Shield Charge! This bitch!”

Just one hit and she would die.

Considering the offensive and stun skill, as well as the following skills later, even if only one properly connected, Ram Hwajung’s life be forfeit!

“Come out earth warriors. Protect her.”

“Hmm? W-who are you!”

It was then that an unfamiliar voice was heard. The earth began to tremble in front of the rushing warriors.

Bududuk, bududuk…….

The puppets were made of soil. Human-sized soldiers of different sizes appeared in front of Ram Hwajung.

“What is this-”

“C-Cut them!”

“Damn it! My skill!”

The dual-wielding swordsman’s Sky Split and the warrior’s Shield Charge were blocked by an earth doll. Poof, the earth doll shattered with a popping sound.

There was no counterattack or defense. The skills only touched the earth doll’s body, but that was the problem, because the skills had cooldown time. Once the effect was triggered, there would be a cooldown, so the skill could not be used. The unknown person who appeared scratched his head with a sunglasses-like item and said, “Your sister wouldn’t pay me if I don’t do my job right.”

Hwajung looked at the man and the Hwahong guards he led.

“Alchemist. Why are you here?”

“Why did I come! Your sister sent me here. What if you die wandering like that! I think it would be fun to see you die. Now, aren’t you supposed to give your oppa a kiss on the cheek, since he saved you?”

“…Crude.”

When Ram Hwajung turned her head, a guard came and handed her various potions and scrolls.

The Byulcho Alliance remained vigilant while arranging their ranks because of what Hwajung said.

“Alchemist…? This earth dolls, and those strange sunglasses-”

“Strange? You bastard think it’s weird! Hey, why is this weird! I crossed the continent in order to make this!”

He shouldn’t have been threatening with his disheveled clothes However, as the Alchemist raised his voice, the bod of the Byulcho Alliance members trembled.

“Alchemist, the 『 Outsider 』 Alchemist was in Hwahong…”

“Ahem, that’s right! You said you would recruit Faust? Where did that necromancer bast go? Did he come? It doesn’t look like he came because it doesn’t smell like rotting corpses?! The secret weapon I prepared for that bastard-”

“Noisy, move.”

“Kuwak! This little kid is strong. Are you going to fight again?”

“This is my battle. You must follow my sister’s order to protect me”

“Cough, I couldn’t do that! Since you gave me money, shouldn’t I show my value as an alchemist? And it wasn’t an order, it was a request.”

It was true that rankers and outsiders hate each other, but among them, was the most famous relationship.

It was the Ranker Necromancer’ Faust and the utsider ‘Alchemist’ Crowley.

Byulcho failed to recruit Faust, but Hwahong succeeded in getting George Crowley.

The special expert that made Byulcho Alliance clench their teeth pulled something out.

“Okay, this is a new one, so I don’t know if it will work.”

It was a bottle full of Bright Red Liquid. Crowley ran and threw the bottle with all his might.

“D-Dodge!”
