Ping!

Park Jin Hyuk flattened himself on the ground as if sliding . An arrow swept past him and went through a building behind him . Its strength is an eyesore .

An arrow that finds its target? It even penetrates concrete that is several dozens of centimeters thick from a couple hundred meters away . He has countless types of arrows .

They matched the situation they were needed for, exploding, freezing, rotating, becoming transparent, creating smoke, and more . Somehow, it is trickier than ag un .

Ping ping ping!

Park Jin Hyuk is also experienced in shooting on the move, but he is clearly being pushed back .

The performance of his enemy’s machine bows is impressive . The only things that the Head Hunter has only that bow is power and range . The rest falls behind .

He could not tell when far away, but the bow’s advantages come out more and more as they become closer . Beyond a nuisance, he is now annoyed .

If he is to catch him as Cha Jun Sung told him to, he needs to get close . This is where the problems arise . The Head Hunter is a complete far range sniper rifle .

He switched the scope for medium range, but that is only makeshift . It is not a weapon that can shot by eyeing in the first place .

“Since it’s become like this, I’ll just go into hand to hand combat . I’ll beat you to death . ”

He will find a way to get in front of him to fight . If the Head Hunter and bow are to become equal, he needs to create a distance where they cannot do anything .

Makung hides behind a large sign and aims his bow . The framework is the shape of a bow, but it is a monster with machinery attached to it .

There is a laser scope attached to it to improve accuracy and range . It is possible to control the distance with a switch, and it can be reduced to close-range when brought down to the minimum .

Arrows are flown like normal bows where the bowstring is pulled .

Machine bows have triggers like guns since they are Hybrid Demons . If the trigger is pressed while the bowstring is pulled, the power is multiplied .

The bowstring can also be controlled freely, so there are a lot of uses for it . The Hybrid Demon is a C class weapon worth 2 . 5 million points .

Hybrid . A cross, mixed . It is a lethal weapon that preserves 100% of a bow’s functions and mixes in some functions of a gun . It is 6 times the price of the Head Hunter, worth 400,000 points .

It is much better than a D class weapon, but it is mid-level among C class . Park Jin Hyuk could also buy a weapon worth millions of points if he wanted to .

He is just saving up for what he really wants because it is more than 9 million . In this state, it is better to get a really great weapon in one go .

But if he had known this were to happen, he would have just bought something else .

“What an obvious scheme . ”

Park Jin Hyuk focused on narrowing the distance rather than on engagement . Makung realized what he is trying to do . He intends to go into combat since he is at a disadvantage when at mid-range .

He understands . The match is not ending through sniping . It is nothing more than attrition warfare .

If they had been common soldiers instead of sniping Lifers, they would have hidden themselves and not moved from their positions .

The fight between Lifers is different . Furthermore, it is stupid for people with battlesuits to hide in one place . They are super people who can avoid bullets .

Unless they come out with cover, they just waste time .

If they want to reach a conclusion, they need to go within a detection radius . Both of their radii are on the fringe of 100m . At this point, the moment either of them makes a mistake is the moment of death .

“Will he be able to come?”

He could create as much distance as Park Jin Hyuk comes forward, but he does not do it . It is out of pride . He has the confidence to block the enemy’s advance just by checking on him .

Makung strokes the Hybrid Demon . Its convenience cannot be explained in words . Who said that a bow is not as good as a gun?

The surroundings are visible because vision is open even while looking in the scope . It is easy to carry and possible to take sniping and shooting stances in any situation .

With sniper rifles on the other hand, vision is blocked once the eye is on the scope, and only the target is visible . It is good for focusing, but it is lacking in corresponding responses .

Unless it is a machine gun, the accuracy is off if attempted to be shot by eye like a bow . This is where the bow is advantageous in mid to close ranges .

Their current distance is 200 to 250 meters . It is the optimal distance for Makung .

Park Jin Hyuk looks toward the sign . Makung is aiming at the hiding place . If Park Jin Hyuk shows himself, he will shoot his arrow . Park Jin Hyuk needs to get moving, but it is not easy .

“Fine . Whether I cook or boil them, I’ll cover for the points somehow . ”

It is too late to approach him in normal ways now . He handed over the initiative for the fighting spirit, so offense and defense have been decided . If he wants to change the flow, he needs momentum .

Bang bang!

Park Jin Hyuk takes a deep breath and runs . An arrow embeds the place he passes .

He changed his route . He leapt up with strength and broke through the building glass to go inside . Hundreds of points are deducted . He has disappeared from the enemy’s sight .

‘Over there . ’

He goes through 3 buildings and covers 200 meters . The next is a skyscraper with a sign on it . A Lifer holding a bow is looking down .

“Does he have an excess of points?”

Makung is mumbling in surprise . He must have lost 100,000 points with what he is doing . It seems he has chosen an extreme method because his path was blocked .

Park Jin Hyuk runs along the wall of a skyscraper as though running on flat land . A crack forms with every step he takes and the glass breaks .

Ping ping ping!

Makung shoots arrows down . Park Jin Hyuk runs in a zig zag, strengthens the outer shell of the battlesuit, and blocks arrows with his Head Hunter .

‘Why are there so many arrows!’

He is barely reacting even with the battlesuit . It is concentration on concentration . The outer shell is going to be destroyed if he lets a single one through . He needs to avoid them as much as he can .

“I finally caught you!”

“You’re seriously mistaken . ”

Caught? He let him catch him . He could create distance if he wants to . He did not because of his pride and something else .

There is no change in his attack power regardless of the distance .

If the opponent is strong, he will catch him and kill him even if the distance is widened . If the opponent is weak, he is just midday prey . Only those inferior focus on the little things .

As soon as Park Jin Hyuk settled on the roof, he went for Makung’s legs . There is wind pressure . It is going for the legs in words, but it is really a low kick meant to destroy his shins .

Makung lifted his leg and stepped over it . Then, he used Park Jin Hyuk’s rebound to rotate his body and give a strong high kick .

Bang!

“You’re pretty good . ”

“Bullshit . ”

Park Jin Hyuk clenches his jaw . He wants to destroy Makung’s mouth . If he could use the booster as Cha Jun Sung does, Makung would not be able to say such things .

He tried to learn, but he cannot control it once the booster releases power . He falls when he tries to kick and flies forward when he tries to punch .

Tang tang tang!

He rampaged the front with the Head Hunter . It is such a close range that one would be hit if standing in the direction of the muzzle . Makung is moving conversely to the muzzle .

The movement of his body is incredibly fast as an archer should be . His step is as light as a feather .

Makung turns a ring on the bow and scratches Park Jin Hyuk’s neck with the string . It is a weapon that can even cut through stone because it was smelted with special alloys .

Park Jin Hyuk went back half a step . The outer shell is cut and a faint line is engraved on his neck . It would have been dangerous if it had been just a few centimeters deeper .

“A knife!”

“It’s better than a knife with its cutting force . ”

Bang bang bang!

It is truly a splendid combat . Park Jin Hyuk never formally learned martial arts, but an instinct for fighting mutants is awakened in him .

He is not used to fighting Lifers, but he definitely has the basics down .

“Tricky . ”

He always feels it, but it is laborious to fight someone with a battlesuit . There is no way to quickly overpower them if they know how to use even half of the functions .

Moderate attacks are detected by sensors . Because of that, they are able to avoid or block . There needs to be an accumulation of damages or one big hit .

Bang bang!

A smoke arrow explodes and smoke covers the roof . Park Jin Hyuk activated his senses . He does not need to be able to see with his eyes . They are super human .

There is a flood of attacks from several directions, but he took care of each one without falling to the surprise . After a few minutes, the smoke melted away .

“Is it because you’re Overload’s party member even if you’re not a ranker?”

“Eavesdropping like a little rat . ”

“At times like this, it’s called just listening . ”

They can hear each formations conversations through the radio . They can identify the situation without having to ask . Overload is Empress of Light’s reinforcement .

‘He’s strong . Makung? There are 36 rankers like this including Jun Sung and Koharu?’

He thought that he would have the upper hand in a close encounter battle, but Makung brandishes the bow like a sword .

He put the Head Hunter forward whenever he could not avoid it, but a scar formed each time . If it does not recover adequately, he has a feeling it will be broken to pieces .

“Why are you fighting so vigorously? Is there a reason to overdo it? Even if you are reinforcing Empress of Light, you’re just getting involved in someone else’s affairs . ”

There is not enough motivation . Unless oneself or the party that one is in is in danger, it is a loss to risk their lives . At least, that is how Makung thinks .

“You don’t need to know that . ”

“Is that so?”

If there needs to be a reason, shall he say that he does not like the flow or atmosphere of Makung and the murderers? He is understanding with his heart rather than his head .

“Let’s end it . I need to help them over there . ”

“Says who… . . Ack!”

The Hybrid Demon has a cylinder as thick as an arm attached to a special part by the trigger, that does not block vision .

There are 10 spokes, each a half size larger than a chopstick, inside the cylinder . They are not shot with bowstrings, but with a special device that controls the shots .

It is so hidden that unless one read the Hybrid Demon manual or owns it, they would not know that it is there . Such a thing went off right from under his nose .

It happened in a moment . Park Jin Hyuk could not avoid it . A spoke went through the battlesuit . It did not go through completely because of the reinforcement of the outer shell, but half of it is embedded .

“Ah!”

It is not over . An electric current of tens of thousands of volts went off in the part that it dug into, and paralyzed his whole body . If he had been the average person, he would have been electrocuted .

Makung pulled the bowstring all the way to the end and shot with the highest power of penetration .

An arrow goes through his shoulder . Park Jin Hyuk is embedded on the wall by the pushing force . His feet are off of the ground and he is hanging like a doll .

“I’m a murderer with more than 500,000 kills in the virtual version as PKs . Even if this is reality, that know-how is all here . ”

Makung taps his head with his finger . Life Mission is a virtual game that left the keyboard behind and used EEGs . He had done PKs as though his life depended on it .

When Cha Jun Sung was Overload, he did not enjoy PKs but also killed 100,000 through similar contents of PVP and while taking care of all types of **** .

It is the same for Koharu . In that sense, this is where Park Jin Hyuk lacks experience as someone who only did Life Mission for a short amount of time . He has the talent, but he is still developing .

Park Jin Hyuk lifted his hand to pull the arrow out . His arm will not reach above his chest . The electric current continued and prevented normal recovery for his body .

“It’ll keep up for 2 minutes . I won’t give you pain . ”

“You… . . !”

A laser aims at Park Jin Hyuk’s head . He intends to get him with a single shot .

“That’s… funny . You think you’re the only one with a wild card?”

Tang tang tang!

He tried to hit him with the Head Hunter, but the shot did not even get Makung’s foot . A bullet flings out from between the two of them . His arm does not go up .

“What a pity . ”

“It’s a trick . ”

Bang!

Park Jin Hyuk pretended to shoot a bullet and set off an explosive bomb that had been loaded . Makung is startled and retreats . That is when he set it off again .

Bang bang bang!

Park Jin Hyuk had shot it to under his foot . It cannot move with magnetism, so he is going to find assistance in fire power . It is dangerous, but he has no choice .

The wall he is hanging on collapses and he falls to the bottom of the building .

-[Battlesuit breakage rate 35 . 5% . Falling . Lifer’s current state is of paralysis following electric shock . Transforming to automatic pilot mode, activate booster . ]

The booster turned on right before crashing and reduced the speed . If he had collided as is, he would have died . He still cannot move his body .

“Is it a grenade? I could take a real hit if I underestimate him . ”

Makung looks down . It seems he is still paralyzed . All he needs to do is fire one shot . But everything needs to be done when the opportunity is there .

Pew pew pew pew!

Guns are firing from somewhere . Makung quickly ran away . Looking carefully, something appeared next to Park Jin Hyuk and is attacking him .

Cha Jun Sung had sent Hercules .

“Cyborg?”

He had heard that Overload has a toy . Makung aims his bow . At best, it is a high level . It can be finished with a few shots .

-[Makung, we’re retreating . ]

-[What? I’ve got him . I’ll kill him right away and go help you . ]

-[No, it’s just a retreat . The situation isn’t feasible . We’ll explain later . ]

A radio came in from Dark Side . The murderers seem to be disorderly, but they follow the rules that they have set well . Rashness is unnecessary .

“You’re lucky . ”

Makung retreated . Hercules identified the enemy disappear, took Park Jin Hyuk, and went back to Cha Jun Sung . There was no order to pursue .
