Season 5: Chapter 120. Short-Form Content (2)

Bubblegum, hidden in the bushes, muttered, "Ha. BubbleSniper, that guy must be absolutely seething right now."

Bubblegum was afraid. Having gone so long without any sniping, BubbleSniper was probably brimming with venom.

— fr LOL

— BubbleSniper full of venom lmaooo

— They'd reduce him to bones if they met fr

— That person really is good at the game though...

"I just hope they clean up and retreat..."

Orange King had asked him to come out at the signal, but Bubblegum wanted BubbleSniper to just retreat and have it all be over.

"WARNING!!!"

An eardrum-piercing siren rang out.

— lmaooooooo

— We're done

— What

— ?

— Oh no...

Something had gone wrong, apparently. Bubblegum's eyes trembled.

"Oh, damn..."

[RUMBLE!]

Either way, Bubblegum activated Iron Ball's skill.

“Bubblegum! Come now!”Orange King called out.

Bubblegum ran.

“Wh-where do I go!?”

“Just wherever the enemies are most!”

Whooooong...

Iron Ball looked like a simple champion, but he actually boasted tremendous speed. He spun like Sonic and charged forward. The surrounding scenery itself became invisible.

Flash!

The moment Iron Ball burst out of the bushes, the enemies scattered in panic. Only then did Bubblegum's vision properly clear.

'There they are.'

He could see all the enemies, at least. They were all spread out.

"Oh no!?"

"Oh no, Bubblegum already contracted!"

"Insane!"

Everyone seemed flustered at Iron Ball's appearance. Having two champions at this point was hard enough. Bubblegum being one of them was even harder to imagine.

'Where do I go? He said as many as possible?'

Orange King had said to hit as many as possible. When they were spread out this much, hitting a lot with AOE was impossible.

'What do I do?'

Whooooong!

Bubblegum was already at max speed. Controlling Iron Ball was growing increasingly difficult.

'Tw-two at least...!'

One was too few. He needed to hit at least two and aimed for the closest ones together.

'Hm... It's awkward. Time for a change of plans!'

It seemed like he had to choose just one. Two was too much of a stretch.

'W-wait, change again! Just one!'

It seemed like one really would be better!?

Whoooosh!

— ?

— ???

— lmaooooo

— Moses's miracle

— GOOOAL!

Iron Ball went perfectly through the center between the two enemies. If this had been football, that would have been a fantastic goal slipping past the defenders. Unfortunately, this was dodgeball.

Crash!

Bubblegum slammed into a completely random tree. "UWAHAHAHAHA!?"

"Insane, as expected from Bubblegum~!"

The enemies, who had nearly died, laughed with delight.

"The whole formation is broken!!" Orange King shouted.

Iron Ball's skill had missed, but Orange King hadn't been counting on it hitting. The enemies had scattered in all directions. That alone was an enormous advantage.

[Freeze]

Ding!

Lemon's ice magic struck their sole champion, Kutan. He froze, isolated and separated from his team.

"Wh-what?" Kutan's expression became noticeably troubled.

A tank was inherently meaningless alone. He only had value in taking hits on behalf of others when a carry or allies were alongside him. Taking hits by himself was just being a punching bag.

[Pure Concentration]

Almond fired at the frozen Kutan.

Crash!

[HP: 65%]

Kutan’s health instantly dropped.

"Oh no...?"

On top of that, Orange King stabbed with his spear, and BornToB smashed with his shield.

[HP: 40%]

Kutan’s health dropped below half.

[Freeze Lifted]

The freeze ended, and Kutan's moment to use his defensive skill arrived.

"Where did they go!?"

Kutan's defensive skill, Rock Shield, required nearby allies to use. His allies had drifted too far away for the skill to be usable.

"H-here!"

One teammate with a sword was running over.

[Pure Concentration]

Crash!

Almond's skill fired again.

[HP: 21%]

"Oh, what!?"

The approaching player almost got hit too. Still, Rock Shield worked by making the real body disappear and attaching it to an ally, transferring its defense. Getting close was all it took to survive.

"STOP PESTERING ME!"

At that moment, Bubblegum came running.

[Rumble!]

The cooldown had reset already, which was major advantage of Iron Ball. During the charging phase, the cooldown ticked down. A long charge quickly refilled it. Not that Iron Ball could do much else besides this, which was why the cooldown was fast at least. The high-speed spinning ball smashed the incoming teammate.

Boom!

BubbleSniper’s teammate flew far away.

"Damn...!" Kutan switched from defensive to offensive.

He tried to slam the ground.

"YAHHH!" BornToB's battle cry accompanied a shield bash to Kutan's stony head.

[Shield Bash]

Thud!

[Stun]

A decisive stun skill came from the shield. Kutan had been hit with a freeze and was now stunned in succession.

"Wh-what!?"

Despite being a level-four champion, there was nothing he could do.

Huuuuum...!

Almond aimed at him again.

Boooooom!

It was a perfect hit to the head.

[HP: 3%]

"DIE!"

Stab!

Orange King's spear delivered the final blow, and Kutan went down.

[Rune Spirit]

He became a rune spirit. BubbleSniper's team lost their sole champion.

"Wooo~ we won!!!" Orange King called out.

From his perspective, this battle was over. The enemies would inevitably retreat now. Trying anything more here was pointless. Their sole champion had fallen, and all they could do was quickly find a revival shrine to resurrect them.

Then, Lemon said, "Oh, I don't think so? We need to keep a close eye on Bubblegum!"

At that moment, BubbleSniper came charging with a sword.

[Rush Slash]

Slaaaaaash!

He unleashed a brilliant slashing arc even without being contracted.

[Bubblegum]

[HP: 75%]

BubbleSniper was level four even without contracting.

"I don't need a contract to DEMOLISH Bubblegum!"

Bubblegum's health dropped substantially. The other teammates followed up with chain attacks. The bow user fired a multishot while the staff user fired a fireball.

Crash!

[HP: 32%]

BubbleSniper swung his sword again.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?" Orange King shouted. "You want to die that badly! Coming back here!? I'll kill every last one of you!"

He ran with his spear.

— lmaooooooooooo

— LOL

— Eyes rolled back

— Absolutely cannot stand someone being unruly after losing

— lmaooo they crossed the line

Enemies would usually flee in this situation, yet they charged in confidently. He pushed in, swinging his spear wildly at BubbleSniper.

Whoosh, whoosh!

"Ha? You're slow, old man." BubbleSniper dodged the spear with ease.

[Pure Concentration]

Whooosh!

He also avoided Almond’s shot by ducking.

"You're slow~."

— What the

— Wow

— Whoa

— lmaooooo

— Mechanics are insane

— Someone who played Battle Large too

While doing that, he slashed at Bubblegum again.

Slash!

"Bubblegum! I shall expose your TRUE skill level!"

The obsession was staggering.

"You insane person! Everyone already knows without you exposing anything!!"

"No, that's not enough! More! The whole world must know your skill level!!"

— Is he actually insane?? LOL

— lmaooooo

— This is love... it must be...

— lmaooooo

— A love like war

Apparently, Bubblegum was annoyed enough to accept the one-on-one.

"C-come on! I'm going to kill this guy!!"

Ka-clang!

Ka-clang clang!

A one-on-one between Bubblegum and BubbleSniper broke out.

— Insane

— lmaooooo

— So funny

"The loser backs off cleanly then!?"

BubbleSniper accepted from their side. "Okay. Don't interfere. You guys."

"Fine, we won't interfere, but we're not giving up the rune spirit."

Orange King stabbed the Kutan rune spirit with his spear. "Tch... Don't think about getting another chance. You either beat Bubblegum here or you die, you cheeky thing."

— lmaooooooooooo

— lmaooo Orange King is furious

— Can't stand that cocky play as a professional LOL

— lmaooo

"Oh... this is great content." Even Almond stopped sniping from a distance and gradually crept closer.

— This too is the Lord’s grace...

— Can't resist chakra~

— lmaooo Almond too

"COMING!!"

"BRING IT!"

Ka-clang!

BubbleSniper's sword clashed with Bubblegum's iron fist.

Ka-clang clang!

The match was surprisingly even. BubbleSniper wasn't contracted, and Bubble Gum was. Gradually, BubbleSniper's blade started cutting into Bubblegum.

Slash!

[HP: 53%]

The frequency of Bubblegum getting hit kept increasing.

Slash slash!

[HP: 12%]

"Give up, Bubblegum? You'll die at this rate?! Hahaha!"

"I... even then I'm going to beat you here!"

Click!

Bubblegum activated a skill with his hands.

[Rumble!]

Hitting from up close was somewhat difficult with this skill. It was Bubblegum's last resort.

Whooooong!

BubbleSniper laughed. "As if that's going to work!?"

One proper sword slash and it would be over. Using a charge skill was asking to be killed.

[Execution]

[Deals massive damage proportional to damage dealt over the last 15 seconds.]

The level four sword skill activated.

Crash crash!

Red cross-shaped slashes embedded themselves repeatedly. It looked like the finishing blow.

Hm?

Huuuuum!

[Health Restored]

A green ring restored Bubblegum's health.

'What?'

Almond had fired a shot that hit three of BubbleSniper's teammates. The rune had healed accordingly.

"You were supposed to not shoot!"

Almond had actually just been aiming, but he’d charged the shot for too long. It fired automatically. He'd forgotten about this mechanic since he hadn’t played Ran in a while.

'What to say?'

Thwomp!

Bubblegum shot straight past BubbleSniper.

"H-hey! I'm talking to you... Huh?" BubbleSniper's expression was filled with shock.

The skill had missed, but why?

"Oh no!!"

Craaaaaash!

It had crashed into the spectators in the back.

"!"

The three spectators were sent airborne simultaneously.

Orange King saw an opportunity and shouted, "KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"

Lemon fired a fireball. Orange King and BornToB also charged in. Almond fired his skill once more.

[Release]

Everything happened in an instant.

Craaaaaash!

[DumbYoungMan Triple Kill!]

— lmaooooooo

— Like it was coordinated LOL

— !

— So satisfying!

— Whoa...

— Insane

— This is what a feint looks like LOL

"Oh... huh?"

Neither Bubblegum nor Almond had intended any of it, but the enemy had been completely wiped.

BubbleSniper turned to Almond, the cause of all this. "You... you cheater! DumbYoungMan! This isn't what we agreed on!"

It would've been nice to win fair and square in a one-on-one, but it had already happened.

Almond hardened his expression completely. "We don't negotiate with terrorists."

"???"

— lmaooooooooooooo

— LOL

— Hahahahaha

— True~

— American Almond

— Insane

— That's so satisfying

— fr what kind of person makes agreements with snipers

— lmaooooo

BubbleSniper was left alone, completely surrounded.

At this point, BornToB approached with a blood-stained shield. "Teeheehee! Bro... should we kill him?"

Bubblegum had come this far and decided to just finish it cleanly. "Eh~ BornToB, fancy a day in the field? Gotta get at least 10 YouTube Shorts out of this~."

"Teeheehee!"

Terror spread across BubbleSniper's face. The reason they'd quit sniping in the first place was because of getting archived on YouTube.

— lmaooooooooooo

— Ten Shorts sentence

— Worse than the death penalty

— Though this was a one-on-one lmaooo

— History is the winner's right
