SWNOVELS
Chapter 120
‘The target is in the annex. Before going to bed, he must go to the main building.’
Leeha checked all the places the target stayed, but he didn’t come out easily.
Shooting was difficult during the day, and the target does not come out at night.
‘But there’s an opportunity today. On the day they plundered a village and brought a woman, he would stay at the annex until late at night.’
What were they doing with the woman they brought?
It definitely wasn’t rock-paper-scissors. Anyway, the cruel ‘Angel’ did not come out of the annex until midnight.
The annex was 50m away from the main building.
Leeha took out his musket and laid down a spot where he could see the main building.
He was 170m away and in a place where he could not pull out his musket for a long time in case it got discovered.
But he did not get frustrated. Leeha learned how to become one with nature while doing this quest.
What if the target didn’t come out?
If he changed his mind, what would he do in the annex?
Such questions were the enemies of snipers. Leeha controlled his anxiety and persistently and calmly refined his breathing.
Leeha prepared for 17 days for this moment.
After shooting, while the guards and troops in the camp were in a panic, he would go outside the range of the magic circle and use a return scroll to end the quest.
“Cough, phew-!”
The door finally opened. Leeha used Eagle’s Eye to check his target.
Dark mustache, chapped chin, and a square face. A familiar face caught his eye.
The guy looked around and grabbed his pants.
‘Yeah, he always grabbed his pants when he’s done.’
He had prepared for this. There was nothing he couldn’t do.
In Leeha’s mind, he had already drawn a picture of himself moving through the escape route.
Leeha gently pulled the trigger.
Bang-—!
It was dark, however, he saw something fly out of Angel’s head.
The gunshot caused a commotion in the Wild Angels’ base, and Leeha ran towards the designated escape route.
“T-t-the shadow is dead!!!!! Everyone wake up! Wake the boss up!!!”
“What?”
Although it was not planned, the unexpected cry of one bandit stopped Leeha’s movement.
‘Shadow? What does it mean?’Leeha didn’t have time to think. He had to escape!
However, Leeha had a hard time moving.
‘Isn’t that bastard the boss? Is it the weak-looking guy?’
‘Should I have checked the opening of the main building? Could it be that there was someone who looked just like him?’
‘No, that’s absurd. I don’t know their names, but I have roughly identified the faces of about 50 people. I have investigated for 17 days and there wasn’t any other guy with that mustache.’
‘But why am I anxious?’
Leeha hurriedly unfolded the map. And took a quick look.
The marker T1 disappeared.
‘It was the boss that was marked. The fact that there was no T1 mark means that that guy is T1, and he is the boss!’
‘But what did they mean shadow? What did it mean? Besides, wake the boss up? Isn’t the guy who died the boss?’
“Damn it!!”
Leeha eventually turned his feet..
He had to check, he wanted to know what those guys meant.
Leeha went to his shooting spot.
Several bandits were screaming around the fallen corpse on the floor.
‘I’m sure he’s dead.’
‘Does that mean he is not ‘Angel’?’
The bandits were still in a panic, even the guards in the nearby forest screamed in surprise, so how flustered must the guys inside be?
It was such a perfect snipe, and if he had run away from there, he would have been out of the magic circle’s range and used a return scroll. That was the situation he had planned!
It was perfect.
“What are you doing! That’s why I have made a shadow! There’s an assassin nearby!Find him!”
And at that time, a man jumped out of the shabbiest building in the Wild Angel’s base.
His clothes were shabby and his voice was weak and thin.
However, as soon as the command was given after a quick assessment of the situation, the movements bandits, as if waiting, began to come alive.
“Sound the alarm! Use your searching skill! Open all the scrolls too! Strengten the magic circle! It’s meant to stop the rat from escaping! Hurry!”
“Y-Yes boss!”
He only looked like a weak young man. His only characteristic was that his skin looked whiter than the other bandits.
All the bandits bowed down toward that young man.
“That’s crazy! It was that kid?”
It was only natural that swear words came out of Leeha’s mouth.
Who would have thought that ‘Angel’, the real leader of Wild Angels, would have been such a wretched man.
“There! There!” freew(e)bnove(l)
And with little work, they found Leeha’s location. He had no more time to think.
“Catch him!!!!!”
All Wild Angels ran out.
There was a bend at Leeha’s location, but he was only 150m away. He had to hurry.
“Damn it!!”
Leeha also got up and started to run.
“Haa, haa. It’s messed up.”
Leeha’s mind was complicated. As he reflected on the situation while running, Leeha missed the guard post around him.
Two soldiers standing on the border rushed to Leeha.
“This-.”
“Bayonet Charge!”
Leeha instinctively blocked the swinging sword and cut through the attacker’s stomach with the mana bayonet.
“Kahak-!”
“Kuwak!”
At the same time, he hit the man, who fired several arrows, with the musket’s butt in the jaw.
He didn’t even care if they were both dead or not.
Leeha ran again without looking at the two enemies he had defeated.
‘I must runaway first! The man I killed… was a shadow.’
Heok, heok, Leeha was out of breath.
He felt his stamina run out. If it hadn’t been for the achievement he earned when he was level 1, Leeha would have already been finished.
Fortunately, thanks to the skill he got, Leeha was able to continue to move.
‘The image! It was definitely the image that Browless gave him. The data provided in the quest information was wrong in the first place- no, wait.’
Right, Browless was the one who gave it to me.
But what did Browless say when he gave it?
[I have never seen him, but they said it was material drawn after hearing rumors and description.]
Browless’s thick bass voice rang in Leeha’s mind once more.
‘Damn it, the quest had already started from there! Discovering the identity of Angel was the beginning of the quest! Didn’t he say that I shouldn’t believe it unless I have seen it in person, and have a realiable source of information?!’
It was a comprehension test.
Leeha had emphasized the need to properly collect information even in previous quests.
No, I was even told with this Wild Angels quest that information was very important.
‘No matter how hard it is! Even if the quest brought strange information!’
If so, what additional information should have been gathered from the villagers and inhabitants of the villages looted by Wild Angels?
Anyway, it was now too late for regrets, and Leeha went through the forest.
A squeaking noise followed by a pulling sensation. Clink clink! Clink!
Over there!
He went out of the magic circle! Strengten it! Use detect scroll!
“Damn it!!”
Leeha took out a retunr scroll from his bag.
He tried to rip it apart, however, nothing happened. One scroll turned into pieces of paper and dropped on the floor in vain.
‘It’s still blocked, but if they locked the space here as well…… how far should I run? How long do I have to run away? If I go out of the forest now, it would be flat land.
It would be impossible to run away from the chasing men on horseback.
For a moment, Leeha felt cold senstation sweep through his body. At the same time, he heard the cries of Wild Angels.
“Found him! One enemy nearby! He is alone! He’s in the northwest 90m away!”
Their detection skill found Leeha so he needed to prepare.
‘It’s preferable to go on high ground. There’s no way to go down.’
Leeha turned around and began to climb the mountain.
The rustling of grass was heard from all sides.
Thanks to the detection skill, it was impossible to quietly escape now. If it was okay to make noise anyway, there’s no reason to stay quiet any longer.
Chiii–! contemporary romance
“Damned bastards! How could these bandits use detection magic? Okay, let’s try it.”
Boom–!
At the base of the mountain, a loud noise began to spread.
“Magic! He used magic!”
“Crossbow! Get the crossbow now! Interrupted his casting!”
“What did you call me, you bastards?” Chii, Leeha lit another fuse.
After getting attacked by Rising Sun, he fully recognized the importance of bombs.
Even if he had no use for it, there were at least 10 or more bombs always available in case of emergencies.
‘I thought it would definitely not have a use in this quest.’
It wasn’t just 10. There were 30 bombs piled up in Leeha’s bag.
It wouldn’t be easy, but if he had to fight… Leeha was also confident.
50 people? 1 bomb per 1 person was enough to blow 30 people away.
It was as if he had brought as many bombs as he poured on the Brass Golem.
‘I won’t spare any money. My life is more important.’
If he died, everything would disappear, regardless of the quest.
He wanted to do the quest cleanly and leave, but he did this himself!
Chiiii ——!
“Move! Shield!”
Boom–!
The explosion knocked down trees and fire flashed, but this time there were no casualties.
Amid the darkness, the blue mana shield shone brightly.
Even the face of the one who used the mana shield.
“Angel……?”
“Who are you? I don’t think you’re a dog of the royal family.”
Leeha clearly saw that Angel didn’t rip a scroll.
Angel shouted as he came forward and made a shield to protect his subordinates.
‘It was said that he was a magician? Can magicians cast magic that fast?’
Is he not a bandit, but a demon?
Leeha could not answer the question of the named monster.
He could not tell that he was here to kill him for his quest.
“If you don’t answer, you will die right here-.”
“I’m sorry, that can’t happen!”
Chi, chi, chi!
Leeha lit three bombs. The bandits were terrified at the sight and retreated.
“Uwaah!”
“You idiot! Using the same trick again! Shield!”
The enemy bandits gathered behind their boss. In front of them, Angel cast a magic spell.
Leeha smiled as it appeared.
“You’re the idiot.”
Boom—!
Three explosions were heard in succession, and the slopes of the mountain were dug up.
Dirt and gravel bounced as a hole appeared in the terrain.
“Damn it, use detection scroll to find him!”
“Cough, cough Up- cough, he went up!”
“Hurry up……. You bastard!”
They were able to find his location, but after the smoke and dust cleared up, Angel had no choice but to clench his teeth.
Due to the completely damaged terrain, it was not possible to pursue their target up the mountain.
In the first place, the bomb was used to thwart their pursuit.
“I remember your face! I will definitely find and kill you!”
Angel’s voice came through the darkness.
After climbing for a long time, and finally passing the purple border, Leeha ripped a return scroll.
