Matan’s Shooter

Chapter 102

Kurururuk—.

“Hmm?”

The stones rolled and clumped together.

The sight of a Stone Golem spawning where there were no users caught Leeha’s eyes.

“Okay, first one.”

The last one Leeha would catch was the Brass Golem.

Only the materials were different, but the characteristics of the golems should be the same!

Leeha quickly filled the musket with gunpowder.

It took 42 seconds without using any skills, he knelt and supported his body.

The musket he lifted did not even shake at all.

“50m distance. Wind speed…… Around 6m/s. It is pretty strong. Wind direction

southeast”

Since there were no trees, it was hard to predict the wind’s direction, but it was not hard for Leeha.

Considering the endless dust rising from Rock Mountain and the fluttering robes of the wizards he saw while coming here, Leeha roughly predicted that it was between 5m and 7m.

‘I’m glad that I won’t need to shoot from a long distance.’

Kururuk, Kurururu–!

The Stone Golem now has a fully humanoid form. The musket’s muzzle was pointed 

at the golem’s head.

“Phew……

Between the short interval between inhaling and exhaling. Leeha stopped breathing.

Click.

Baaang—!

Beyond the white smoke billowing from the muzzle, Leeha caught sight of the bullet lodged deep into the golem’s head.

The Stone Golem’s raised arms stopped.

“Naisu! Will it be a one-shot?” 

Leeha smiled and put up his musket.

Lead bullets from modern rifles are not easy to get stuck in a rock. It would be crushed and bounced off as it is.

But now?

“It was possible because the bullet was made of iron. If even a Stone Golem is hit in the head, one-.”

“Huh?”

The Stone Golem swung its arms again.

Its upper body swirled, faced downward and with a thump, its lower body changed direction.

It was like the movement of a tank in a caterpillar track.

“Isn’t it dead?”

Didn’t it go straight to its head?

In an instant, a thought came into Leeha’s mind.

A giant bear he met on the way to the capital. The image of a burning bear approaching, bleeding after being hit with three bullets in the head.

“Damn it! It won’t die in one shot.”

Kurok, kurok!

The Stone Golem golem started moving toward Leeha with a harsh sound of rocks colliding with each other.

It was not fast, but it was intimidating.

Its speed was enough to reduce its distance by 50 meters!

Leeha ran and started reloading, then turned around again after 45 seconds.

His distance from the Stone Golem was 17 meters, it was clearly catching up.

“If you won’t die in one shot, then I will shoot you until you are.”

Pusosok, when another gunshot was heard from the Rock Mountain, one could see that there was stone dust flying from the Stone Golem’s head.

“Two shots.”

However, Leeha did not stop. It was fortunate that the Stone Golem stops for a while when it gets shot in the head.

As he was confident that the Stone Golem would move again

Leeha widened their distance and finished reloading.

Kururuk…

“I knew it!”

Baaang–.

After the 3rd blow, the Stone Golem’s head was pulverized.

There was nothing left from the 3-meter body.

“Three shots in the head…… this would not be easy.”

Phew-!

Leeha looked around while blowing the smoke from the musket’s barrel.

It would be possible to deal with another one, but the place is also littered with Grey Traps in addition to the Stone Golem.

It was too dangerous to hunt like that.

Thump, thump.

‘Because the Grey Traps can’t be seen properly……. He needed to find a safe hunting spot after all…… Finding such a spot was also a problem, as it was difficult to hit the Stone Golem’s head properly when the wind was so strong-.’

Thump, thump.

Kururuk—.

A sudden ominous sound.

Leeha had discovered that there was no head in the shadow that covered his body.

“I need to leave……

Kuoooh—!!!

“Waaah!!!!”

There was no need to look back.

Kwaaang—-!

As soon as Leeha escaped, a fist made of rocks hit the place he was standing at.

“Kak!”

Pebble shards bounced in all directions and ran across Leeha’s body.

Being thrown in the gravel field was a bonus, and he felt a slight pain.

Kururuk, kururuk—!

“Hey, no matter how tough it is, living without a head is a bit harsh, isn’t it?!”

Kurok, kurok!

Then wouldn’t it be too much for rocks to move?

Leeha seemed to argue with the golem somehow.

“Aish! What am I going to do!” 

Wuoooh!!

The rocks on the golem’s left arm moved and rolled on its body.

The place where the rocks moved was in the golems right side.

Now, the golem had no arm on one side and arms two times longer on the other.

It was a design without considering the body’s balance.

However, it intuitively knew how to move its grotesque body.

The golem with an arm two times longer once again swung its arm.

“Kuoooh!”

Boom, Leeha managed to avoid the boulders by bending his upper body!

Just hearing the rustling sound made his spine cold.

“Is it remodeling its body?”

And it wasn’t just about swinging its modified arm.

The Stone Golem started to swing its extended arms like a whip.

Kwang, kwang, kwang!

‘This is absurd, a single golem is this strong- keuk!’

Leeha could barely avoid it thanks to the distance, but he could barely avoid hitting the gravel fragments.

He could feel his HP draining every time each stone hit his stomach, chin, or face.

What was more serious was that Leeha had no idea where to attack.

“Damn it!”

Kwaang-

As soon as the arm that the golem struck down touched the floor became gravel.

When he was hit by the stones, Leeha’s vision turned red.

‘I’m already at 50%?’

It was dangerous. He never thought that there would be a splash attack!

‘There’s no time to worry! For now……. Delicate Hand Movement!’

Leeha immediately activated his skill. It was fight or flight.

No, there was only one choice from the very beginning.

How could he catch the Brass Golem without being able to catch a single Stone Golem?

‘21，22, 23-.’

Runaway and Reload. The only consolation for Leeha was that the Stone Golem was slow.

‘-3’

He tapped the butt of the musket to the floor

and finished reloading.

Leeha immediately turned around and raised his muzzle. But where should he aim?

‘It no longer has a head. Then? Body? Heart? But what kind of heart would it have when it is made of a bunch of rocks!’

Kurururu-!

As the Stone Golem stomped and ran, Leeha suddenly had a question. Doesn’t it have a heart?

‘No, wait. Then how does it move?’

It was not a living thing. Rocks that should not have been able to move

were able to gather and move.

Then there was only one answer.

‘It has an energy source.’

Leeha thought of the warriors who were catching the golems.

They were people wielding blunt weapons at random.

‘First the arm, then the-.’

Bang!

Leeha pulled the trigger.

The iron bullets flew accurately to the golem’s chest. To be more accurate, it was in its solar plexus.

‘-Chest.’

Pasasat.

Stone dust flew and the golem’s growling stopped.

“No, it’s not dead yet.”

It was like when Leeha blew its head off. If it took a pretty serious blow, the golem would stop for a while.

The Delicate Hand Movement was still active.

While the golem was still

Leeha reloaded and lifted his musket again.

“One more time.”

He exhaled.

It was not just about hitting its solar plexus. What Leeha was aiming for was more perfect, more accurate shooting.

‘Calm Mind.’

The target was close, but Leeha wanted to be more accurate.

The effect of a Calm Mind that has reached level 9 was an increase in accuracy by 23%.

It only lasted 3 seconds,

but it didn’t matter if one was already finished reloading.

Click, Leeha pulled the trigger.

Kwang!

Another iron bullet flew and hit the one that was lodged in the golem’s solar plexus.

Pususok—1

The golem’s body cracked and the stones began to fall.

‘Nice!’

It was possible because their distance was only 20 meters.

In terms of arrows,

It was like shooting the first arrow with a second arrow. Leeha’s magical shooting skills shone.

“Is it dead?”

For now, there was no additional movement that came from the Stone Golem.

Leeha felt his whole body loosen up.

How would he catch the field boss if catching normal golems was like this?

“Phew……. It’s not some kind of talent show- huh?”

Light was emitted through the smoke.

A blue stone that could be seen from the golem’s broken body. Isn’t it the size of a human fist?

Leeha had instinctively known.

‘That’s the energy source!’

Leeha immediately reloaded. The fact that the energy source hasn’t been broken meant that the golem wasn’t dead yet!

But as long as its weakness was revealed, it would be over.’

28, 29, 30. Click-!

When Leeha finished reloading, what appeared in front of him was a golem with its arms and head being restored.

“What?”

Kururuk?

“Ah, what’s this, really. Don’t do that. I see. That was why the warriors were in such a mess.”

Leeha lowered his musket and smiled. No, he laughed out loud without realizing it.

Kung, kung, kung, kung-!

“Why is it being restored, this is such a scam!!!!”

And Leeha ran without looking back.

After seeing the Stone Golem perfectly restored to its original form, Leeha judged that further hunting was meaningless.

And!

“Ahhh!! We’ll see!!!”

Kung, kung, kung!

The golem’s footsteps were slow but steady.

Leeha ran without looking back,

Leeha spat out words that were only said by villains.
