It's not simple. It's very difficult.
'Still, if I don't do it, there's no one else.'
An Assassin among Supporters. It is the rarest and a very important position. That is why I was able to enter KAMC with a trivial ability called [Agility]. Because I set up a strategy well and applied for the Supporter-Assassin position that people avoid....
"I didn't know it would turn out like this."
Saying that, I prepared thoroughly.
"Looking at the scale of the campfire... I can't solve it with just Magitech Bombs."
Ultimately, I need something else... firepower of a larger scale.
"Mana...."
I awakened mana. And attacks using mana guarantee more firepower. Click—.
'It's still insufficient to imbue mana into a gun....'
Bow? I brought a bow just in case.
"If it's a bow... would it be possible?"
But the mana I awakened is Null Attribute Mana.
'The effect is nothing more than strengthening attack power.'
Isn't there something dramatically strong... something like that?
'Damn, I can't think of anything.'
With the means I possess right now, there is nothing I can do.
"Inflict damage as much as possible with bombs… and drawing attention is all I can do."
Since Taehwa Guild said they are coming too, getting their help would be good as well. Since it's a guild that uses Fire Mana, they are the best domestically in terms of firepower.
"I'll do everything I can as much as possible, and wait for Taehwa Guild's support."
Of course, Baek Seo-yeon, who can mobilize much larger firepower than Magitech Bombs right now, is here but....
'Baek Seo-yeon has to deal with the Orc Overlord.'
Thinking that, I moved towards the campfire at high speed without being detected using [Stealth], [Concealment], and [Leg Strength] skills.
—Chijijik. —How is the degree of erosion?
A message came to the radio transceiver on my wrist. I tapped the wireless earphone in my ear and answered.
"It is proceeding at quite a fast speed."
—Confirmed.
Erosion was proceeding quickly centered on the campfire. Gurgle―.
'It's truly a disgusting scene no matter when I see it.'
The scene of the ground eroding is hard to get used to no matter when I see it. Like the ground that appears when Zerg builds a hatchery in StarCraft. Squelch―. I approached the campfire carefully stepping on the squelching ground.
'By the way, since the levels of [Stealth] and [Concealment] skills went up, I don't have to worry about getting caught now.'
Even though I was this close, the Orc Elite Warriors guarding the campfire couldn't sense anything strange. Beep―. Whish―.
I pressed the button on the Magitech Bombs and threw them all over the campfire using the [Throwing] skill.
'I threw all 10 but....'
I don't think that huge campfire will be destroyed with this. Still.... Kuwuuuuuuu―!!!
'It's enough to turn the attention of the Orcs fighting at the front.'
This is the biggest role of the Supporter-Assassin position. Relieving the burden of colleagues fighting at the front. Even just turning their attention with a huge explosion is a tremendous gain.
"All done."
Chijik―.
"Detonating."
—Confirmed.
I sent the signal that I would detonate, and pressed the button to set the timer. Beep―.
—01:00
"I should start moving slowly too."
I can't just install bombs and leave after coming all this way, right? I wrapped the mana cloak around me and attached the bayonet to the rifle. Although [Stealth] and [Concealment] are effective, I can't maintain them while fighting.
"Wrapping the mana cloak around me, I should slit the throats of Orc bastards secretly like an assassin with bayonet skills."
No matter how much stronger I became than before, it's not to the extent that I can openly reveal my identity among an Orc horde and fight one against many.
'Would it be possible if it were a goblin swarm?'
Whish― Click―. Like that, I took a combat readiness posture and lay prone behind cover preparing for the explosion. Beep―.
—00:10
"10 seconds...."
Notification popped up that 10 seconds remained until explosion, and a moment later....
KWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWANG―!!!
Tremendous explosions covered the Orc horde.
KWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWANG―!!!
Awakened who were in the middle of battle turned their heads to check the explosion.
"Damn it, the campfire scale was big so it wasn't destroyed." "Oh no...."
Still, it turned the attention of the Orc horde, and some troops retreated to the rear, so it is a roughly successful operation. Crunch―! Clang―! Kuwuuuuu!!! Kwa-gwang―!!!
Roars ran rampant here and there, and Orcs fell one by one.
'The Orc Overlord is....'
It seemed to have gotten injured from the explosion because it was near the campfire. Kuwuuuuuuuuuuu―!!! In an instant, a tremendous roar covered the battlefield, and everyone froze.
[The roar of an opponent with high status induces fear.] [Your body freezes due to fear.]
'What?'
Rustle―.
Still, Baek Seo-yeon, who belongs to the strong Awakened, managed to move with all her might, but other Awakened didn't look so good.
"Damn it."
Kuwuuuu.... Uwaaaaa!!!
Looking at the frozen Awakened, Baek Seo-yeon felt urgent.
'When will it wear off?'
If the Orcs pounce like this, they will just be helpless victims.
"Tch―!" Creak―!
Baek Seo-yeon swung her spear first and made a clumsy barrier made of water. Swaaaa―!
'I can buy time like this but....'
A situation where she can't do it indefinitely. And at that moment, an Orc Warrior in front of her collapsed with a thud. Thump―.
"...?"
Approaching closely to examine, there was a bullet hole in the Orc's head.
"What is this? A gun...? Lee Si-woo?"
The only Awakened holding a gun here right now is Lee Si-woo. By the way, no gunshot was heard....
'Did he put on a suppressor?'
Pshh―. Pshh―. Pshh―.
Just like that, 3 Orc Warriors collapsed one after another thud thud.
'No sound is heard. This is...!' Chill―.
A confirmed location, nor sound is heard, but an ability that can definitely kill one by one.
"A-amazing?"
Orcs also started to stir as their colleagues suddenly collapsed.
"K-Kuwuu...." "Kuaaaa!!!"
The Orcs couldn't attack the Awakened rashly. Because the guys who died and collapsed were the ones who approached closely to attack the Awakened....
'If we approach the Awakened, we die.'
They came to think like this.
"Lee Si-woo… amazing? More than that, to shoot accurately penetrating through all those obstacles."
At that moment, the enraged Orc Overlord started to move.
'Ouch, my ears.'
[Orc Overlord's skill 'Roar' freezes you.] [You possess the skill 'Roar', so you are immune to status effect.]
"Oing?"
Although the Orc Overlord's tremendous roar covered the entire Yeouido Park, I could move.
'Immune huh....'
Because I possess the [Roar] skill, I became immune to the status effect caused by the Orc Overlord's [Roar].
'Then... wouldn't it be better to obtain as many skills as possible unconditionally?'
That aside, I saw the Awakened fighting at the front stopped.
'This… is dangerous?'
Baek Seo-yeon started to move, but she alone cannot cover the entire wide front line.
"I have to do it."
Click―.
If I hide inside the mana cloak, most noises are hidden. On top of that, I equipped a suppressor heavily modified with expensive money so....
'Almost no gunshot sound.'
No, let me correct that. If I shoot while covered with the mana cloak, no gunshot sound is made.
'If it's a sensitive individual, they might feel it vaguely though....'
Who said I would wait while shooting continuously from the same spot? If I shoot while moving spots, they can't find me. Pshh―. I smashed the heads of Orcs approaching to attack the Awakened. Since [Mana Imbuement] skill level is still low, I can't imbue mana into the gun but....
[Beginner Firearm Proficiency Lv.7]
As the level rose to 7 before I knew it, it reached a level where general Orc Warriors are sent off in one shot if hit by a headshot. Pshh―. Pshh―. Pshh―. I started a massacre against the Orcs at the front while moving spots like that.
"Kuwuuuuuuu―!!!" "Kuaaaa!!!"
Some sensitive Orc Elite Warriors tried hard to grasp my location, but it's over if I move spots and stay still.
"Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaa―!!!"
The Orc Overlord started sweeping the surroundings in rage.
'Finally moving.'
Seeing the frozen Awakened escaping from the status effect and moving one by one, I took out the bow.
"Indeed, I don't know how far it will work but...." Grip―. "Still, have to experiment right?"
[Imbuing 'Null Attribute Mana'.]
Twang―. Swa-a-a-a-a-a-ek―!!! Thuk―.
"Kuwelk...?"
'It lodges but....'
Snap―.
"Kuwuuuuuuuuuuu―!!!"
That's the end. It's just scratch level.
'Still, that's something.'
Before, I wouldn't even be able to make a scratch. And if I shot with a gun, it would have bounced off completely?
'Let's move spots first.'
I completed my job over 100%, 120%. I destroyed part of the campfire, brought confusion to the battlefield, and saved the Awakened at the front.
'I'll think while moving spots continuously.'
If there is another method. And anyway, the Orc Overlord will be handled by Baek Seo-yeon and Cheon Tae-jin, not me.
"Almost arrived."
Taehwa Guild's successor, Cheon Tae-jin. He arrived at Yeouido Park quickly.
"Seo-yeon is at the scene?" "Yes, the two of you must handle the Orc Overlord." "Tch, annoying. Could have done it alone." Whish―.
He opened the door and jumped out from the helicopter that hadn't landed yet.
"Uh, uh? You cannot!" "My choice." Thud—!
Dropping into the middle of the Orc horde wrapped in Fire Mana all over his body, he straightened his greatsword.
"All dead...."
Whish―. Kwa-gwa-gwang―!!!
"Kuwuuuuuuu―!!!"
Cheon Tae-jin approached the Orc Overlord who was sweeping the surroundings in rage.
"It's big alright... but being big means there are more places to cut!"
Whoosh―. The greatsword was swung at the Orc Overlord.
"What is that again? Cheon Tae-jin?"
Wow, they said cooperative spirit couldn't be found at all, was it true. According to the original plan, he should join Baek Seo-yeon to clear the Orc horde together and the two face the Orc Overlord together.... Suddenly opening the helicopter door in the air and falling, he is slashing Orcs recklessly.
'I heard he is a person living on his own conceit.'
Was it to that extent? Serious. Still.... Whish― Whish―.
"Kuwuuuuuu―!!" "Come at me all you bastards!!!"
"Strong indeed. But the problem is that Orc Overlord...."
Thud― Thud― Thud―.
The Orc Overlord was dragging its huge body heading towards Cheon Tae-jin.
'It's far for Baek Seo-yeon to join....'
Orc Elite Warriors also started sticking to the front, so it is difficult to break through all that and join Cheon Tae-jin. Of course, it's not that Baek Seo-yeon lacks the ability to clear them all in one go, but she has to save that power to deal with the Orc Overlord.
"Phew, can't be helped."
Knowing attacks don't work on the Orc Overlord, I intended to catch small mobs like Orc Warriors to level up, but leaving Cheon Tae-jin alone would obviously put him in danger, so I decided to move.
"First... how much mana remains in my body?"
Also to practice [Mana Imbuement] skill.
[Imbuing 'Null Attribute Mana'.]
