Taang!
The moment I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the system message that I had passed the first gate.
A gunshot rang out.
A bullet was seen flying at extremely high speed.
The person the bullet is targeting is… … .
“Taehoon!”
Ji Tae-hoon responded to my shout.
Ji Tae-hoon quickly created a shield through partial summoning and swung the shield towards the incoming bullets.
A shield could have blocked the bullet, but Ji Tae-hoon instinctively recognized the power contained in the bullet.
Ji Tae-hoon thought it would be difficult to just block it, so he planned to swing his shield to block the bullets.
Quang!
However, Ji Tae-hoon, who was trying to block the flying bullet with his shield, was unable to handle the power of the bullet and flew backwards.
“Ji Tae-hoon!!”
My friends saw that and ran towards Ji Tae-hoon, and I looked back at the direction the bullet came from.
[The final gate, the second gate begins.]
In that direction, a demon was seen retrieving a sniper, his entire body covered in black clothing.
“That guy… … .”
The moment I was about to run away, there was a hand grabbing me.
“Wait, Siwoo. “We have to go together.”
The moment the man in black turned back, a man stepped forward.
“Good idea. She shouldn’t come up alone. “Shouldn’t we take care of our colleagues first?”
I clenched my fist at the man’s words, calmed myself down, and nodded.
“Just wait there.”
“Kkkkk, I’m looking forward to it.”
I ran to Ji Tae-hoon as I saw the area around the man who said that was covered with demonic energy.
Ji Tae-hoon, who had fallen, was struggling to get up.
“Are you okay?”
“uh… How can a single bullet have such incredible power? … .”
Soon, Hwang Da-bin looked at Ji Tae-hoon’s details.
“I hurt my arm. “You can’t overdo it.”
“At least to this extent… … .”
“Stay still, I’ll give you first aid.”
Yun Mir, who saw Hwang Da-bin treating Ji Tae-hoon, turned to me.
“It’s the same with the first gateway, but the difficulty seems to increase as you go up to the upper level. “If I had made a mistake with that bullet, I would have been in big trouble.”
Our expressions hardened at Yunmir’s words.
This is the final gate. It was the headquarters of the demon god.
“… I heard from my teacher that there are three gates in total. “There are still two gates left.”
I told everyone what Selina said.
“I will fight too. “Because you can’t defeat them all before you have the strength to fight them.”
No one voiced an opposing opinion to that statement.
If I hadn’t stepped forward at the first gateway, we could have still been fighting against the demons that kept coming.
“I guess it has to be that way.”
Tsutsutsu-
Yun Mir, who transformed into a dragon warrior, spoke to Ji Tae-hoon.
“If it’s okay, let’s move right away. “We can’t give them time to prepare.”
What Mir Yoon said was right. The best strategy to shake up your enemies is to attack when they are off guard.
‘Just like a moment ago.’
Suddenly, I remembered that I had experienced the same situation as before, and while trying to remember when that was, I started moving with my colleagues to break the second gate.
6.
We had no idea what kind of ordeal the second gate was.
So the method we chose was to move as soon as we got to the upper level so that the enemy could not do anything.
Yunmir, who ascended to the upper level first, began to emit small, compressed breaths from both hands.
“Aaaah!!”
While hearing the demons waiting in the upper layer screaming at the breath fired by Yunmir, the six remaining people followed Yunmir and entered the upper layer.
“what? “It’s easier than you think, right?”
The demons seemed to have suffered a huge blow just from Yunmir’s breath.
This was evidenced by the fact that, unlike the first gate, there were no demons attacking them at the second gate.
“Wouldn’t it be better if we did it this way from the beginning?”
After hearing Ban Hye-jin’s muttering, I looked around once again with my wide eyes.
It was to find the gun-wielding demon who had blown up Ji Tae-hoon a little while ago.
Taang-!
“Bow!”
just as expected. Bullets came flying from somewhere, and we, using our previous experience, ducked to avoid the bullets.
Quang!
We quickly dispersed as we heard the sound of bullets exploding against the wall.
If they were gathered in one place and that bullet exploded, they could all suffer together.
“Selina!”
“huh!”
Grumble!
Just because Ji Tae-hoon couldn’t defend himself didn’t mean there was no way to stop the bullet.
Selina, who deployed a firewall with the help of Hwaryeong, created a wall of fire to block the front.
You may not be able to stop bullets, but you can at least confuse the enemy’s line of sight.
Clap.
At that time, I saw the demon I saw earlier holding something in the distance.
“Welcome to the second gate.”
Deddude!!
“Fuck.”
I couldn’t help but curse.
This is because fire spewed out from the machine gun he was holding.
“Why do demons use guns!!”
“Leave it to me.”
As soon as the machine gun was seen, it was Ban Hye-jin who shot forward.
Soon, a barrage of bullets started raining down on her.
“Dad said that. “A sword is stronger than a flimsy weapon like a gun.”
Papapot!
As Ban Hye-jin’s eyes glowed red, her talent ‘anger’ was revealed.
Recognizing the incoming bullets, Ban Hye-jin’s sword began to move without stopping.
“and… … .”
Yoo Ah-ram, who saw this, let out a sigh of admiration without even realizing it.
Ban Hye-jin was moving forward, cutting down all the flying bullets.
The power of the bullet fired from the machine gun was weaker than the bullet that hit Ji Tae-hoon.
“I don’t know where the sniper might be. be careful!”
The moment I shouted at Ban Hye-jin, gunshots rang out again.
Taang-!
“Nerf!”
Shoo!
Since he was guarding against sniping, this time, as soon as the gunshot rang out, Dabin Hwang used the ‘nerf’ on the incoming bullet.
Then, the power and speed of the bullet were seen to decrease significantly.
“Hwaap!”
And it was easy to deal with bullets of that level of power.
Ji Tae-hoon shouted, swinging his shield to block the bullet that flew towards Yoon Mir.
“I protect my friends!”
“Ugh, that’s cringy!”
As I watched Yoo Ah-ram’s camera close up Ji Tae-hoon, I looked once again in the direction the bullet came from.
It was because I thought the sniper I saw earlier would be there.
‘doesn’t exist?’
I was complacent.
If you were a sniper, it was common sense to shoot and then run away.
The reason I showed you earlier was to make you think like this.
‘Where is it?’
You have to know where the shot is coming from to respond.
I was the only one who could see his location.
The moment I turned my head to find the sniper’s location,
Tung-
It sounded like a gunshot or something else.
Shuuuk! Pow!
“uh?”
The fact that Dabin Hwang suddenly woke up made the world feel like it had slowed down.
Something was aimed at her, and it was an instant before Goldie, who was riding on her shoulder, threw his small body forward to save her.
Goldie, who was blocking her path, exploded.
“Goldie!!”
I heard Dabin Hwang’s screaming voice, and immediately I braced my feet.
“Aram! “Take the kids and run back!”
“huh!”
As the wind blew from my feet and Yoo Ah-ram’s feet, the talent ‘Swissok’ was activated.
‘shit… ‘Why didn’t I think of this obvious thing?!’
What kind of sniper would reveal his location and shoot so that gunshots could be heard?
By using a silencer, the gunfire could have been silenced.
I was completely fooled.
Every time a bullet was fired, a gunshot was heard,
Naturally, we thought, ‘The moment a gun is fired, a gunshot rings out.’
It was all a stepping stone to make us think like that.
The enemy was clearly a sniper with exceptional talent who had mastered human psychology.
4.
Yoo Ah-ram and I quickly grabbed our friends and gathered them together.
Because snipers were more dangerous than demons shooting machine guns.
“Goldie, Goldie… … .”
Hwang Da-bin was sitting on the floor, unable to believe that Goldie had saved her and exploded, and she was surrounded by Yoo Ah-ram, Selina, and Ji Tae-hoon.
“Hwang Da-bin, wake up.”
“but… Goldie… … .”
“Goldie’s sacrifice must not be in vain.”
As I said that, I constantly looked around.
“What do we do? “Unless we can figure out where the bullets are coming from, we’re at a disadvantage.”
“I have to find it. “Where is the enemy firing?”
That’s what I said, but I couldn’t see the enemy at all.
‘For some reason, when they say they’re sniping at us, they clearly mean they’re nearby… … .’
“ah.”
When I think of the concept of distance, I think of a sniper who blew off an ogre’s head from a very long distance.
‘no way… … .’
Why did I think of this only now?
I knew a very high level sniper.
Perhaps he subconsciously didn’t want to think about it.
‘No way, right? mom.’
If the enemy was Choi Woo-hee, it was natural that he could not be found nearby.
Lee Si-woo’s mother, Choi Woo-hee, was an ultra-long-range sniper.
[The final gate, the second gateway. Long-distance sniper.]
The moment I thought about long-distance sniping, a system message appeared in front of us.
To clear the second gate, you had to defeat the long-distance sniper.
When I realized that fact, I called Ji Tae-hoon.
“Ji Tae-hoon.”
“huh?”
“I’ll be back soon. “Please take care of the kids.”
“Where are you going?!”
“Snipers are targeting us from a long distance. “If you want to catch him, you have to search far away from here.”
“Then we too… … .”
I shook my head at Yoo Ah-ram’s words.
“no. If you’re scattered, you won’t be able to stop his bullets. “It is safer to gather in one place and block bullets.”
“… okay. Leave this to me, and quickly find the enemy. “I’ll make sure no one gets hurt.”
“please.”
As I said that, my spirit widened.
There was no enemy within a distance that I could perceive.
It seemed like I had no choice but to have the God of Pursuit descend.
For now, I thought it was important to get attention away from my friends, so I used explosive momentum and jumped forward.
“Lee Si-woo?”
“Go back and stay safe.”
As I passed by Ban Hye-jin, who was cutting down a barrage of machine guns, I created a shield on my arm like Ji Tae-hoon.
Armed with the six talents of my friends, I was able to use a variety of tactics.
Before I find the sniper, I wanted to give that guy a punch.
With a gutter sword on my left arm and a shield on my right arm, I looked at the guy firing the machine gun with wide eyes.
The status window of the guy seen through the barrage of bullets showed the name Nergal, a top-class demon.
[Nergal]
-Title: Demon of Watch
-Talent: Poetry
-Grade: Superlative.
-Characteristic: Insight. Two-faced.
After confirming the character’s characteristics, I suddenly remembered the sniper who was watching this scene and was well versed in human psychology, and shouted.
“Nergal! “You can stop being a spy now!”
