Chapter 502

Lowland?!
So, it starts from here. Hehehe hehehe But it doesnt matter.
The place where Luger appeared was the underground city of the gorilla paleos. Some of the gorilla paleos were startled at the sight of Luger, but Luger didnt even glance at them.
7km. Even that Ha Leeha guy couldnt snipe from such an impossible distance. I heard the bastards howl at the same moment as the teleportation.
Crack!
Hearing the howl of the three-headed wolves, Luger had appeared here. What did it mean that he was sniped twice in a row? Luger already knew. A distance of 7km was absolutely impossible to reach with any black powder firearm, regardless of the firing angle.
There was something the eldest gorilla mentioned. Something that resembled my Cobalt Blue Python
One reason the gorilla paleos looked at the Three Musketeers somewhat fondly was that the eldest gorilla paleo had mentioned this. Luger hadnt forgotten. He hadnt thought there would be another Cobalt Blue Python, Crimson Geckos, or Black Bass in this world. But what if there was one? Even if not exactly the same, it was plausible to assume there might be an item similar or a replica. The skill composition and features of the item might be slightly different.
Good, good. Lets see what I can do. First, I should try to initiate a conversation.
Luger felt a tingling sensation. He had only felt this kind of feeling twice before. The first was when he fought Alexander, just before facing the Ancient-class Gold Dragon Bailephus. And the second time was when he saw Leehas sniping. When the guild war broadcast of Hwahong and Byulcho was transmitted worldwide, Luger had watched it too. After all, it was also the reason he sought out Leeha. Did he feel the same when he first saw that footage? Luger shook his head.
No, the second time is a bit different compared to now. That fool is in a different league, a completely different league.
Maybe he just didnt want to admit it.
Luger carefully wandered around the underground citys miscellaneous shops, purchasing a few necessary items. In the past, he would have used the crystal ball right away and engaged in a 1:1 battle with Matans Shooter.
But the current Luger was different. He had much more information about Matans Shooter than before.
If he wanted to kill me, he would have. Theres no way I could have escaped.
If Matans Shooter had used Matan, it would have been a 100% chance of death. In other words, an insta-kill.
Its impossible to evade an attack akin to divine judgment. But he didnt shoot Matan. Why?
Because he can only use seven shots. Just like how I, Luger, managed to evade just now.
It was nothing short of a miracle, but Luger had escaped, through his intuition and luck. Then that was enough. Since Luger had confirmed how far Matans Shooter could see, it was the best possible outcome for him.
Hmm, this kind of thing is just like Ha Leeha or Kidd.
Luger opened the friend window, checking the locations of Leeha and Kidd, chuckling to himself.
Kidd seemed to be wandering somewhere in the New Continent, while Ha Leehas location was confirmed to be at the Ezwen Papacy.
Still crawling around like a bug without finding anything Hehehe.
There was nothing like the feeling of having the upper hand in information! Luger shuddered with excitement. Shortly after, having purchased all the necessary items, Luger had no more hesitation.
Now, I will become the first user to be Matans Shooter!
Ten seconds after activating the crystal ball, his body was transferred back to the scorched earth. After switching the Cobalt Blue Python to a shoulder-hang position, he took out an item without looking back. What Luger hurriedly pulled out of his bag was white paint.
Grrrrr
Beat it, you wolf bastards. Id love to string those heads into a necklace, but Im busy today, so Ill let you off.
The three-headed wolves, having three heads each, began to appear again from all around, but Luger paid them no attention.
What was important now wasnt them. When will Matans Shooter reveal himself again? How did Matans Shooter spot him?
Last time, I was attacked an hour after entering this land. But I cant tell if it took an hour for him to spot me, or if this location is his original boundary and I just entered it.
If the current range is already within his boundary, I could be attacked at any moment. As long as there is no certainty about how Matans Shooter operates or his system, the sooner I mark my position on the ground, the better.
Grrrrr
Grrr..
The number of wolves was increasing. As if refusing to ignore a stranger acting in their land, they began to widely surround Luger. It wasnt just observation and caution. A real threat. Almost like a prelude to an attack. Luger hurriedly moved, vigorously using his brush. Letter by letter, words larger than Lugers body began to form on the ground.
Huh?!
Suddenly, a sharp sensation jolted him. Luger quickly leapt away. As he rolled, white paint smeared all over his clothes, but he had no time to worry about that. The sound of the ground being pierced was heard. The gunshot that followed was a very faint and small sound.
Here it comes!
Luger hurriedly stood up and grabbed his brush again.
Perhaps because his frantic movements seemed like an opening, the three-headed wolves, who were slowly tightening their encirclement, also quickened their pace.
Bark bark!
Grrr!
Damn mutts!
Luger knew he had to lift the Cobalt Blue Python. He needed to shoot.
But if he dealt with these guys? Then he wont be able to finish writing. He might have to face bullets from Matans Shooter, even more terrifying than the teeth of wolves.
Just one more letter just one more -
Luger made a choice. Ignoring the charging three-headed wolves, he decided to finish writing the sentence on the ground first. The movements of the three-headed wolves were overwhelmingly fast. It was impossible for them to miss the opportunity presented by Luger, who was bent over, drawing letters on the ground.
Gwaaaak-!
D, done!
Just as the first three-headed wolf leaped towards Lugers back, Luger finally finished writing all the letters.
Successor of [Pierce].
Each letter, words as big as Lugers body, was now written on the ground. Before the faint, small gunshot was heard again, the scream of the wolves came first.
Kehang-!
Huh?!
The three-headed wolf that had leaped towards Luger was thrown onto the ground. Luger also quickly grabbed his Cobalt Blue Python to protect himself, but that was far too presumptuous. Matans Shooter didnt miss. When Luger turned the muzzle to shoot at the three-headed wolves, as if reading his intent, Matans Shooters bullet reached first. One by one, each of the wolves!
Faster than Lugers movements of turning, Matans Shooter had read his movements, reacted, aimed, and pulled the trigger. It meant that from a distance of more than 7km, he was moving as swiftly as Kidd in rapid-fire mode. Of course, the meaning was clear. It was an act to protect Luger.
Heheheheh Hahahaha!
Luger laughed maniacally.
Matans Shooter must have seen his writing! And just as he thought, it had to be Mr. Brown, the Predeccessor of [Pierce], acknowledging and trying to protect him!
Keang, keang!
Kahar, gararack!
When six three-headed wolves were killed in less than a second, the other wolves surrounding Luger all fled. Luger waited, sticking close to the words Successor of [Pierce] he had written. Waiting for the person who had dealt with all the monsters threatening him, for Matans Shooter to show himself.
How long had he been waiting? Luger could hardly breathe. He had never felt such excitement, not even when facing Alexander Hm?!
And finally, something caught his eye. A silhouette, wavering like a mirage, but clearly not a wolf or anything of the sort. Walking on two legs, approaching him it had to be a human. And if there was someone to appear at this moment, there could only be one person.
Matans Shooter! Mr. Brown!
Luger shouted.
The figure walking in the distance stopped. Luger tilted his head. The closer Matans Shooter got, the clearer he became, no longer a mere mirage. While he couldnt fully make out the face or distinguish the clothes, he could at least discern the movements.
Luger narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing every move. What items was he wearing?
What exactly was that gun from which he fired Matans shots? Even in Kaztors books, the information about firearms wasnt properly detailed, let alone a gun that could handle Matan. And what about a gun handling Matan? Could it be used with his own Cobalt Blue Python? Were there any constraints in handling the energy form known as Matan? Luger wanted to know everything about Matans Shooter, who had now revealed himself. So focused was Luger that he could accurately determine what Matans Shooter was doing.
Hes observing me. No, its not just observation. That action is-
Luger thought Matans Shooter was holding something like a mirror. A light flashed, twinkling.
Phew this really gets tiring. It would be great if I could just sleep like before.
Kidd sat leaning against a tree trunk. Having a purpose but no specific destination was one of the types of adventures Kidd disliked the most. Arriving at a definite destination and getting a bit of rest that was the behavior most suited to Sleeping Kidd. After taking a drink of water from his bag, Kidd opened the Three Musketeers friend window.
What is everyone up to? Ha Leeha seemed to be roaming the Silver Plains, and now the Papacy?
Checking the location of the Three Musketeers about a dozen times a day was Kidds hobby. It was more than just a hobby, as the sheer amount of information he could deduce from their locations alone was substantial. Indeed, it was possible for him, with his level of analytical skills.
The Papacy, really? Could it be that he still hasnt received his reward?
Kidd felt a momentary shock. It seemed absurd, but with Ha Leeha, it might be possible, and that belief made it even more preposterous. To think that he had ever trusted and followed such a naive and careless person.
How can the same person show such different behaviors? Its like having two people in one body. Hes a subject of research.
Kidd chuckled and then checked the location of another member of the Three Musketeers. Luger was marked as busily moving around in the underground city of the gorilla paleos.
The underground city? Theres nothing left to gain there, so whats Luger doing?
Could he be planning to enter Kaztors Laboratory No. 7 alone? Now that everything there has been scraped clean, theres nothing left to gain by going back.
Or maybe hes gotten some new information? Its possible if hes going to compare it with something else
Kidd tilted his head, watching Lugers constantly changing location.
However, among the detailed location changes like underground city square or miscellaneous shops, there were no mentions of Kaztors Laboratory or underground dungeon.
