Matan’s Shooter 775
Tsuu-!
The sound of something rapidly spinning was heard. Leeha briefly doubted his own eyes and ears. Two fingers held out in front of his left shoulder by Karelin!
What in the world is that?
Leeha’s question was quickly answered when Karelin himself explained what was rapidly spinning between his fingers.
“Of course, even bullets… can be seen.”
Karelin threw what he was holding in his hand onto the ground.
With a clatter, the bullet casing rolled on the floor.
Leeha couldn’t say anything. Karelin had caught the bullet.
As Leeha alternated his gaze between Karelin and the bullet casing on the floor with wide eyes.“Now it’s my turn.”
His weapon disappeared.
The next moment, Leeha found himself looking at the floor.
Ah-!
The moment he realized his limbs were completely bound, it meant that Leeha’s body had been completely captured by Karelin.
“A defense item, huh!”
“I… Recommended 『Combat Mode』…”
He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t speak. Unless the command to switch to combat mode was given, Jellypong only blocked Leeha’s 20 damage reduction.
“How futile. But it’s better than being imprisoned.”
Karelin tightened his grip on Leeha’s body and neck. Leeha felt his vision blurring.
Is this what it feels like to be caught in Toon’s grasp? Leeha had never been caught before, but he thought it would be worse than this. It wasn’t just a simple grappling but a wrestler’s technique that included skill, completely binding his body.
Unable to escape, unable to even resist, Leeha could only wait for death with his vision growing hazy. In that situation, a flicker of violet light appeared.
“Inhumane.”
Karelin collapsed on the floor of the Remlin Palace. His ‘target’ vanished, as he had been supporting it.
“What?!”
“He’s gone! Leeha has disappeared!”
“The spatial constraints – are they still in place!?”
The giants roared, scanning their surroundings. Karelin furrowed his brows, stood up, and brushed off the dust on his body. His muscles began to relax once again, and his angry expression transformed into the innocent face of a gorilla.
“Phew…
“Lightning is shining” he said.
“It must be the dragon I’ve only heard rumors about.”
He looked around and instructed the giants, “Divide into groups and search the surrounding areas! Send for Hamina Castle immediately. Lock the gates of the Human Flesh Hunter’s residence with not only physical locks but also mana, and then withdraw from there!”
Understood!
Although he speculated that Leeha had disappeared, he did not relax his vigilance. He focused on the possibility that he might have fallen somewhere nearby, as well as the chance that he had truly escaped from the Shazrashian capital.
“It hurts even when caught. It seems to be at the level of a proper attack.”
He checked his fingers that had caught the bullets and his character’s health at 17 on the rooftop of Remlin Palace, where all the giants had fallen.
“Cough, cough, cough! Haah, haah.”
“Leeha! Are you okay?! 『Recovery』, 『Great Heal』!”
Blaugrunn immediately used recovery magic on Leeha.
Leeha gestured that he was fine and stood up, but his expression was far from bright.
“My vision didn’t turn red. It’s not like I was hurt. That was- that was a real 『technique』. It was a situation I had never even thought of before.”
Not even when jumping into the sea towards the Dragon Palace did he experience ‘breathing difficulties.’
But being restrained in his neck, arms, and legs simultaneously by such a technique!
‘If my breathing had stopped there, what would have happened?”
If your neck bone is broken, it’s instant death.
If your breathing stops? Would it result in just a fainting effect?
He thought back to the state Prea was in when he faced the terror spirit. He couldn’t be sure, but he felt he might end up in a similar state.
“Let’s go, quickly.”
“Where to? Where?”
“The cabin of the White Reaper. The giants will block that place. We need to meet the White Reaper within one hour.”
『Remaining time: 00:38:41』
“Alright, this should be fine. Blaugrunn-ssi! Do you have the coordinates stored from before?”
“Of course-”
Tack-…
Leeha was rummaging through the bag, retrieving a magazine from the Black Bass.
“Ha, Leeha, are you okay?”
“Uh? What’s wrong, why is my hand like this?”
It was a mistake Leeha had never made before. Dropping the magazine while trying to retrieve it?
As he reached out to pick up the fallen magazine, he finally realized. Grappling techniques, takedown techniques. The terror of a wrestler.
“Blocking the blood flow for a long time.”
Preventing the muscles from moving properly. His trembling arms and hands were proof of that.
Leeha clenched and unclenched his fist, trying to regain control of his body. He knew it was a temporary phenomenon. After receiving a sudden powerful blow in the military, such occurrences often happened.
“Incredible.”
“What?”
“That gorilla… he’s amazing.”
As Leeha slowly muttered a few words, Leeha felt a chill run down his spine.
“I let my guard down. Maybe I underestimated him since he’s not Top 10… I thought being 12th in the rankings wasn’t a big deal.”
Perhaps because he had easily “hunted” Wood Elves around the 15th rank before. But the situation was completely different now, and Leeha had overlooked that fact.
“We didn’t know where we were, and we were faced with the Wood Elves in a chaotic large-scale battle, unlike the Wood Elves who have experienced my attacks already, especially because that was my home ground.”
He must have used some skill. There was a possibility that he used something different from Chiyou’s predictions.
Leeha couldn’t know the specifics of the grueling training methods of wrestlers or the various exercises that trained creatures like monsters in detail, but it wasn’t just about physique.
When the extreme physique, the internal conditions such as stamina adjustment, skills, and the combat environment perfectly aligned, that’s when things happened.
“This won’t be easy.”
Leeha picked up the fallen magazine from the ground and inserted it into the black Bess.
Clang, clunk—!
As rough as the clashing magazine, Leeha’s expression was just as rough.
“Right.”
“We don’t need to call for other humans, right?”
“Yeah, it’s not necessary.”
Leeha nodded. Blaugrunn immediately used spatial teleportation. As they teleported to the ruins where the White Reaper’s Ghost resided, the giants there raised their weapons.

“Ah, it’s not sealed yet! Time-”
“Everyone except for the one in charge of the mana seal, get out! We have to stop Ha Leeha!”
Giants emerged from not only near the iron gate but also from the surrounding hills. As soon as they saw Leeha, they started shooting arrows.
*Boooom!*
The defensive shield set up by the ‘Ha Leeha Legion’ that wrapped around Leeha’s head was impenetrable to ordinary arrow attacks.
*Ting, tititang, ting, ting-!*
Blaugrunn’s shield were invincible to regular arrow attacks as if Leeha was constantly surrounded by dragon scales. And if Leeha could perfectly protect his head and neck?
“Wow, this performance is pretty good.”
What about the new ‘cloth’ that Leeha was wearing?
Any decent long-distance profession would find it impossible to unravel the textile structure of the clothes Leeha wore.
“Attack”
“Not working-”
“Jellypong, 『Combat mode: Agility』. Blaugrunn, kill them all.”
Leeha simply walked forward. The Jellypong wrapping around Leeha’s head took the left, while Blaugrunn took the right.
In Leeha’s hand was a small dagger. The giants with spears leaped towards Leeha, but these ones, far lower in skill than the ‘Guardian Giant,’ couldn’t match Leeha’s movements.
“Kakyak!”
“Ah!”
Just turning into light by the touch of Toon’s claw.

“Blaugrunn, can you open it?”
“Yes. What’s the point of calling this a mana seal, seriously.”
Compared to Blaugrunn’s height, how many times could it be. Leeha gave up guessing in front of the massive iron gate and Blaugrunn simply lifted his finger and pushed it.
*Squeak……*
The abnormal combination of the soft opening of the styrofoam-like iron gate and the rough ungreased hinge’s squeak.
With a strange smile on his face, Leeha walked in just like that. There was no need for Leeha to be impatient once he arrived here.
“They won’t come right away. It will take a considerable amount of time to make thorough preparations. I don’t know exactly how thoroughly prepared we need to be…”
『When they move as fast as they can, they won’t be able to rest during the night. They are not afraid of sniper bullets in the city.』
“In the worst case, we gather troops in groups of ten or a week until we overwhelm them with numbers. In that case, even Leeha might not be able to endure it.”
The tension couldn’t be hidden, but Leeha wasn’t afraid.
“Huuh… Did the quest fail, so you’re getting scolded?”
“Scolded? By whom?”
Because he was here. In response to Blaugrunn’s question, Leeha answered with a smile.
“The White Reaper.”
… Is that so.
“Yes. Nations like Past Paldrin and Krabavi no longer exist. The only one left is the federation that merged them, Shazrashian. I proposed to the highest authority of Shazrashian, but…”
『The giant guys haven’t changed at all. Whether back then or now, the behavior of trying to crush everything with power remains the same.』
The White Reaper didn’t flinch. He didn’t change his posture or anything special. The middle-aged ghost simply listened to Leeha’s words quietly, showing a subdued rage.
“Then, what happened to Paldrin?”
“I’m not exactly sure, but… They are probably living somewhere in the former Paldrin region.”

“What? Oh, yes.”
Leeha remembered. The area where the White Reaper resided was exactly the jurisdiction of the former Paldrin nation.
From the main city with the warp gate to a few small villages that Leeha passed through, were there any of the NPCs he met?
“They were all… giants. Every NPC was a giant.”
Could there be any humanoids if he searched? But at least the conspicuous NPCs were all giants. The White Reaper was silent for a while. Blaugrunn, full of curiosity, wanted to say something to him, but Leeha was so keen that he couldn’t say anything.
“He wants the resources beyond this land… Interesting.”
“If your words are true… They are coming here, aren’t they?”
“Yes, probably… No, they will definitely come. They are also aiming for this place.”
“The quest target of the giants affiliated with the Shazrashian Federation.”
“When attacking giants affiliated with the Shazrashian Federation, the chaotic value does not apply. There is 0 penalty between each other.”
Leeha asked Jin Gonggong through whisper whether there was a quest for him to attack Leeha, or any strange notification window.
“There wasn’t. Fortunately. It seems to be only for giants affiliated with the Shazrashian nation.”
So Leeha became even more curious. How would the quest be given to giants affiliated with Shazrashian? What would be the conditions for success and failure, rewards and penalties?
If Leeha knew the structure of the 『Enemy』’s quest, it would be easier to unravel it, but it was regrettable for him that he didn’t have any close friends among Shazrashian-affiliated users.
“I can’t ask Igor.
While Leeha was joking to ease the tension, the White Reaper began to move slowly.
