Chapter 69: The Sniping Is Too Weak (Part 2)

I had blocked the incoming arrow with the Blond Delinquent shield, but the situation was still unfavorable.

The enemy archer nocked another arrow, and the other two front-liners drew their swords and charged at me.

“Hmm.”

I immediately set my priorities.

‘Archer first.’

Archers are like annoying mosquitoes that constantly pester you if left alone. It’s best to swat them down on sight.

“Ugh! Let go!”

I grabbed Nose Ring Delinquent by the collar, who was standing there frozen, and started running, dragging him along. Nose Ring Delinquent screamed as he was pulled along.

I sighed inwardly.

‘Direct confrontation with someone with a higher level is difficult.’

It was one thing to be able to grab and run with a man larger than me, but due to the difference in strength stats, Nose Ring Delinquent couldn’t even properly resist.

‘This much difference between level 30 and 50…’

Just how big would the gap be between 50 and 150?

‘This is like an ant fighting a human.’

It was disconcerting, but there was nothing I could do.

The situation was what it was, and I had to do my best.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a second arrow flew towards me. An arrow flying at an artistic angle. The moment I realized I couldn’t dodge it, I used Nose Ring Delinquent to block the arrow.

“Argh!”

Nose Ring Delinquent screamed and thrashed as the arrow struck his back.

I snatched the longsword from Nose Ring Delinquent’s hand and threw him towards the approaching enemy.

Of course, it had no effect.

“You!”

Nose Ring Delinquent didn’t last even 10 seconds and was cut in half by the enemy’s sword. The enemy, now covered in blood, glared at me.

However, it didn’t matter.

‘I bought some time.’

I had achieved my goal.

I had momentarily stopped the enemy’s advance using Nose Ring Delinquent.

And thanks to that, I had an opportunity.

A chance to throw the sword!

Gripping the sword’s hilt tightly, I turned my body. Putting all my weight into the throw, I swung my arm. The art of rotation was infused into this series of movements.

“W-what!”

“Look out!”

The enemies, realizing what I was about to do, were startled and tried to rush me, but it was too late.

“Ha!”

With a shout, I threw the sword like a javelin, accelerated by the rotation. The launched sword flew like an arrow,

“W-what the…!”

And pierced the archer’s forehead.

Thud!

The archer’s head snapped back, and he collapsed backward. And he didn’t get up again. Seeing that, I concluded,

‘Even with a significant stat difference, I can kill them with a fatal blow like this.’

In that case,

This was a fight I could win.

“You!”

“What! Wasn’t she level 50?”

The enemy was visibly flustered that I had taken down the archer in one hit. To be flustered during combat, they must be completely incompetent fighters.

‘With this level of skill, they’re probably Gold or Platinum at best.’

They were only troublesome because of their high stats, but their combat skills were worse than the Diamonds I used to crush, no, even worse than Ji-eun.

Realizing that, my heart sank.

‘To try and snipe me with that level of skill…’

How much did they underestimate me?

That thought made me feel annoyed.

“You’re not good enough.”

“What?”

“What are you talking about!”

I tightened my grip on the axe.

Then, glaring at the remaining two snipers, I said,

“Just die.”

‘Damn it.’

Kim Taewan, one of the three who sniped Shihyun, was dripping with cold sweat from tension. How did things turn out like this?

The request they received wasn’t supposed to be difficult. Just snipe a streamer and harass her a bit.

The target’s level was only 50.

He could toy with her even by himself at level 156.

Therefore, Kim Taewan thought this would be an easy task.

Until a moment ago.

‘…This is a monster.’

It wasn’t easy at all. Honestly, it might even be impossible with their current skills. Kim Taewan was barely able to block her attacks.

He was able to land a few hits at first.

But she easily dodged or parried them.

And then came the insane axe swings.

Counterattack? Impossible!

‘Damn it! How can a level 50 fight against a level 150 like this!’

It was absurd, but it was happening right before his eyes. The other front-liner he was with already had his head split open by an axe swing and was rolling on the ground.

Slash!

Perhaps because he was distracted, the swinging axe grazed his clothes. A chilling attack. If the position had been slightly off, his arm would have been severed.

‘This is driving me crazy!’

Every time the black and white frills fluttered beautifully, the axe blade emerged from between them. Every single attack was fatal. Kim Taewan’s eyes darted around.

Then,

‘An opening!’

Kim Taewan’s eyes lit up as he spotted a fleeting opening. This is it! If I strike here, I can take her down! That thought filled his mind.

“Dieeeee!”

So, Kim Taewan aimed for the opening.

And he saw.

“W-what!”

He didn’t even have time to be bewildered. Shihyun, who had twisted her body to avoid the attack in an instant, struck his chin with her palm. Kim Taewan’s vision tilted upwards.

‘Oh no!’

If I miss her movement now…!

At the same time, he felt pain in his neck.

Kim Taewan’s eyes wavered.

‘Damn it.’

The next moment, his vision spun. The last thing he saw was his own body collapsing, headless.

[You have died.]

Instantly transported back to the lobby, Kim Taewan blankly touched his neck. Then his face contorted.

“!”

[Lol]
[Beautiful Girl Axe Master who cleaves the necks of snipers ]
[Wow, she actually took them all down.]
[Shihyun Punch!!! Shihyun Punch!!! ]

After severing the last enemy’s neck, I took a deep breath.

‘I feel refreshed after moving around a bit.’

It felt like I had gone for a light jog. Exercise is important. It allows you to experience this kind of refreshing feeling, how nice.

‘Or maybe it’s the refreshing feeling of teaching those snipers a lesson.’

I smacked my lips and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.

The last guy I killed was somewhat skilled, so I had to cleanly sever his neck to finish him off.

The other corpses were missing their right hands. That’s because I started by cutting off their hands. They had more openings than the last guy, so I could quickly take them down.

“It wasn’t very clean, though.”

I adjusted my Battle Maid outfit. Perhaps because of the bloody way I fought, it was covered in blood. I wouldn’t be able to use it again.

Then I was startled by my own thoughts.

‘What are you saying, Shihyun?’

Why would you wear this again? Are you crazy?

It seemed like the aftermath of the sniping attempt had messed with my head. To think of wearing this revealing maid outfit again…

As I thought to myself, the chat started scrolling like crazy.

[Is she a butcher? lol]
[Haha, chopping them up is easy]
[Slaughter Maid ]
[Oi oi, did she lose control and ‘slaughter’ them?]

I checked the chat and frowned.

“Slaughter? Such a harsh word.”

Even so, slaughter?

Isn’t that expression too much?

‘It’s not like I’m a butcher.’

But it seemed like I was the only one who thought so.

[Then what was it?]
[I thought she was dismembering them???]
[Teacher, look at the severed hand and tell me that wasn’t slaughter]
[She’s a slaughter expert]
[I knew it since she was dismembering people in PvP]

“…”

[It’s okay~~ Shihyun can do whatever she wants]
[But please refrain from dismembering people]
[It’s a bit disturbing how she smiles every time she cuts them]
[Lol, it’s funny though]

I tilted my head, looking at the chat.

They said I was smiling while fighting?

‘Isn’t that completely insane?’

It seemed like I needed to learn how to manage my expressions.

At this rate, I might get stuck with a crazy woman concept. Then someday, I might have to stream with flowers in my hair. I didn’t want that, no matter what.

“Well, it was a productive day.”

I completed the mission and got some good YouTube content.

Dealing with snipers was decent content.

[Yeah, it was productive]
[But where did those snipers come from?]
[You need skill to snipe lol]
[It’s funny how they challenged Shihyun, who crushed the number one pro, with just their levels lol]

“It was a bit close, though. The level difference was definitely significant.”

[Didn’t seem like it at all??]
[Close (dismemberment)]
[Haha, just believe she had a close call]

“It’s true…”

Just as I was feeling dejected because the viewers didn’t believe me,

A donation notification suddenly popped up.

[Webjoong donated 10000 won!]
[But the mission isn’t over yet?]

“Huh? I killed three people.”

[Webjoong donated 10000 won!]
[No, you killed the archer with a sword, not an axe]

I chuckled at those words.

Then I turned my head slightly.

I saw Tattoo Delinquent cowering in fear at the end of the cave. Come to think of it, these guys also tried to scam me, didn’t they?

“…Does it count if I kill him?”

[Webjoong donated 10000 won!]
[Yes]

At those words, I raised my axe.

Soon, Tattoo Delinquent’s screams echoed through the cave.
