Chapter 22: Assassination Mission (4)

Chapter 22: Assassination Mission (4)

The guards protecting the castle all disappeared. Now, the time to enter had arrived.

“I’m going in now.”

Almond opened the door and entered. The castle lord waited for him like in a movie scene.

“I secretly infiltrated, but you were already waiting for me,” Almond muttered to himself without much thought.

— LOL

— Yeah, for real.

— What was the point LOL

— Small indie company I guess.

— Hahaha.

Almond touched upon a subject that gamers longed for. He made an objective evaluation of the game because he never played it before.

‘Anyways, is that castle lord the boss?’

He thought the castle lord would be a fat, old man. However, the one who stood in front of him wore black armor and looked more like a knight. It felt like he would attack at any moment.

As expected…

KANG!

A huge sword suddenly came flying towards Almond. The sword seemed like it could shatter bones with just a graze. No, it was more like a blunt weapon that mimicked a blade.

“Are you alone?” the castle lord asked while sitting on his chair. He looked unfazed even after that huge swing.

‘Guess he is the boss.’

Almond grabbed his bow without a response.

“!”

Only now did he realize.

‘Where should I aim?’

He couldn’t find anywhere to hit.

The king’s black armor was basically a massive piece of iron. It offered him complete protection and covered his entire body like a shield of darkness.

Even a divine bow couldn’t penetrate such iron.

— Why isn’t he shooting?

— I don’t think there’s an opening.

— ????

— Oh shit…

— Does he need to shoot with a crossbow or something?

— Yeah, I don’t think a bow will do the trick.

Gulp.

Almond’s neck trembled and the tension increased again.

‘I don’t think it’ll penetrate.’

He felt it too. There was no way to penetrate that black armor.

Almond looked around for an answer.

‘Shouldn’t there be another way? Maybe some sort of trick?’

“Oh, shit…”

Clink clank.

The sound of clinking metal could be heard and three knights appeared. They all wore similar armor to the lord.

Almond couldn’t see any openings in their slightly different armor either.

— Wow…

— What now?

— Is Almond finally going to die?

— This is going to be a bit tough.

— I think you have to use a blunt weapon here.

‘A blunt weapon?’

Almond briefly hesitated. After all, a large sword no different from a blunt weapon was just thrown at him.

However, he shook his head. It wouldn’t be wise to use an unfamiliar weapon in this situation. He decided to stick to the familiar bow and fight first. He could think later if he died.

‘Let’s observe.’

Every game had a solution. He didn’t have much experience as a gamer, but this basic rule always existed, right? It should be the same in Kingdom Age.?There was no point in including a weapon that couldn’t be used in the game.

He carefully looked back and forth at the castle lord and the three knights steadily approaching him.

Stomp. Stomp.

The sight of these black armored soldiers with their huge blades looked horrifying.

— Eeek!

— Oh my…

— That’s terrifying.

— I think you gotta run for now!

— I guess one death isn’t a bad experience.

— Just shoot anywhere!!!

The audience seemed more tense than Almond.

Almond also felt tense and afraid, but not when he was perfectly focused. His eyes quickly scanned the four armored men and…

“!”

Something caught his eye. A slight difference existed between the lord's and the knights’ armor.

‘It’s a hook.’

Creak…?

Finally, he readied his bow. At that moment…

“Raaaa!”

The knight, who gracefully approached, suddenly charged forward.

Almond, with his bow drawn, dodged to the side.

“!?”

Klang!

The knight’s black sword shattered the granite floor and Almond’s arrow flew in from the right. The arrow struck the helmet’s forehead plate, specifically the ring that held the decorative plume.

Kah-ah-ang!

A loud sound echoed and something shocking occurred.

“Oh?”

The arrow flew and latched onto the hook. It took off the helmet like that.

— Wow!

— Shit, that was possible?

— He got the helmet off!?

— Can’t believe it came off.

— It’ll probably have enough power if you shoot a bow that hard.

— LOL

— I’ve only seen armor come off like that in cartoons.?

— Insane!

— Wow! Crazy!

The knight’s helmet fell to the ground and made a loud noise. His face turned red and swollen because the helmet had been roughly taken off.

“Nice.”

Almond quickly rolled again and took off the remaining two knights’ helmets.

Pow! Pow!

He threw his body around and shot arrows while spinning like a basketball player.

— Fade away… damn…

— Almond, you’ve really gone crazy now, haven’t you?

— Hey, you’re not human, are you?

Both arrows successfully took off the remaining knights’ helmets.

— But what about the lord? He’s a little different.

— Idk.

The same method couldn’t be used against the castle lord. Furthermore, these knights didn’t just stand still.

“Die!”

Swoosh!

A huge sword passed over where Almond’s head used to be. As usual, he rolled on the ground and shot another arrow.

Pang!

The arrow pierced the knight’s head and he collapsed.

Thump.

The other two knights rushed in at the same time, but Almond already gained some distance.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two rapid shots followed.

Twaaaaaang…

Their corpses slid to Almond’s feet from the momentum of them rushing in. Their two heads had arrows in the same spot.

— It looks like the bow is super good just from seeing this!

— This is the bow!

— Kya!

— Now, what about the castle lord!?

Only then did the castle lord stand up from his seat.

“Impressive.”

Almond didn’t reply.

‘There’s no time.’

He had ten seconds left to see if his plan would work.

Ping!

A blue screen brushed past his vision.

[Consecutive Shooting Skill. Activated!]

The three soldiers had been there to activate this skill. This progression would only be possible with all headshot kills.

— Ooooh!

— Right! This existed!

— But what are you going to do?

Thwack!

Sang-Hyeon placed all his arrows on the ground.

“You can’t kill me with arrows.”

The castle lord declared and began walking towards him as menacing music played.

— Straight up tells him arrows won’t kill him LOL

— Why are you doing the bow challenge?

— Officially from the NPC: Don’t do the bow challenge.

Even at this time, not many people predicted Almond’s victory. How could he win against someone with no openings even if he shot consecutively at a high speed? No one else could see that?path.

‘I saw it.’

Sang-Hyeon said to himself and carefully breathed while notching the arrow.

Inhale.

When the breath stops…

The first shot is fired.

Paaang!

He aimed and fired at the slowly approaching castle lord.

But…

Klang!

It bounced back with a clank.

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I said it’s no use.”

The lord stopped for a moment because of the arrow’s force, but began walking again.

“I’ll kill you and turn you into dust for destroying my castle like this…”

Klang!

An arrow flew and struck him again before his next step even touched the ground.

“?!”

The arrow struck the same spot as before. Not just the same spot, but exactly?the same spot without a millimeter of difference. These attacks with impossible accuracy continued.

Klaaaang!

Klang!

Klaang!

“What.. what is this stupidity…”

Almond placed around 50 arrows on the ground. He instantly fired three that all struck the castle lord’s center at the heart.

“Do you think anything will change because of this!!!”

The castle lord shouted and ran towards him, but Almond remained steady.

He focused on the next arrow like the first and smoothly connected his nock, draw, and release.

The arrow cut through the air.

Klaang!

It struck the same point again. Now, it became a matter of repetition. The process of pulling the bowstring and releasing it continued.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless arrows cut through the air and all struck the same point.

Kakakakang!!!

Sparks flew from the armor as if Almond was welding something with his arrows.

— What the…

— What’s with that accuracy?

— Almond you crazy! Almond you crazy! Almond you crazy!

Creak…?

Almond could feel it when he nocked his last arrow.

‘It’s over.’

KLANG!!!

The castle lord’s armor shattered with a loud bang.

“!”

The castle lord’s face was filled with horror, but it didn’t last long. The next arrow cleanly pierced his heart with a thud.

— Almond! Almond! Almond! Almond!

— Mom, I want to be Almond when I grow up! Mom, I want to be Almond when I grow up!

— Ez boss! Ez boss! Ez boss! Ez boss! Ez boss!

— He did it!!

— Damn, he’s actually insane.

— Oppa, I’m dying!

— He really got everyone’s heart.

— The lord’s heart too.

The chat turned into chaos and multiple people needed to be banned. After that, the donations swarmed in.

[ArrowsTip has donated 1,000 won.]

[I only hit one place.]

[CoolBoy has donated 5,000 won.]

[This is not a drill! This is not… or is it?]

[FullBody has donated 1,000 won.]

[You have the right to share my blood!]

[ThisWay has donated 10,000 won.]

[How many times do you have to hit the same place to shatter the armor?]

Almond took a deep breath and looked at the support pouring in from the chat.

‘I did it again.’

The morning capsule training and the afternoon castle infiltration quest. Everything tired him out, but the feeling of success from the quest flowed through his body and gave him energy again.

He replied with a lively voice to the viewers who supported him.

“Thank you ArrowsTip. CoolBoy… it’s not a drill, but thank you. Thank you FullBody. Share blood? What does that mean? ThisWay, I didn’t count, but I think it breaks around forty shots. Thanks!”

His responses to the viewers became much more natural. He felt somewhat like a professional streamer now.

— Ooooh.

— Almond has improved LOL

— He’s not going to shoot himself again, is he?

— Not doing that is already a huge improvement LOL

— He’s not a baby anymore.?

The chat recognized him, but that was only for small donations.

“Now, let’s go take a look at Lady Emilia’s surprised expression… huh?

Baam!

A loud trumpet noise followed and Almond became shocked at a new donation.

[SeoJiAh has donated 300,000 won.]

[Wow! You’re really cool.]

This was the first time he received a donation of over 100,000 won other than the time with Acorn Jelly. Even then, it was towards Acorn Jelly. Technically, this marked his highest donation yet.

— Oh my God. Jesus Christ.

— Shit.

— 100,000 won ends the stream. What happens at 300,000 won?

— This is crazy.

— Does he somersault to end the stream?

— SeoJiAh, isn’t she the one who said Almond was good looking last time on Acorn’s stream?

— Rich people…

— 300,000 won. I wonder how he’s going to end the stream.

— LOL! Is ending the stream confirmed?

— Don’t end the stream! Don’t end the stream!

The viewers already worried about how Almond would react.
