Chapter 79 of The Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1

28. Jason VS Almond (2)

There is an item called a Power Suit.

As the name suggests, it is a suit that, when worn, overflows with power.

It is also an item that often appears in the SF genre. However, it doesn't really fit in the quite realistic Battle Royale, which strives for realism.

While continuously improving the performance to enhance the merits of the legendary items,

a Power Suit, which doesn't really fit in modern warfare, ended up appearing.

The performance of this Power Suit was so incredible that it could be argued that it should be classified as a myth, not just a legendary item.

While it's not as powerful as Iron Man's suit, it has excellent basic defense, and the forceful leaps make running very fast. Thanks to the acceleration, a single punch can potentially take away 30% of health.

Overall, it boosts physical abilities by about three times.

However, this Power Suit cannot be obtained just anywhere by sheer luck.

It only appears in the underground armory or air drop boxes.

Since air drops can fall at any time, the underground armory is the only fixed location.

Of course, it doesn't appear every time in the underground armory either.

It appears with a very low probability.

That's why when it is discovered, it often triggers what is commonly known as 'all-tube mode.'

Almond could also be considered lucky in this regard.

However, the difference is that it wasn't he who obtained it, but his enemy.

Almond, peeking out from the stairs of the underground armory, asks,

"What is that?"

Boom──

Almond couldn't help but be surprised when he confirmed the identity of the enemy at the bottom of the stairs.

A person wearing a strange glowing suit was running around. It was so fast.

In Battle Royale, there is a set speed for human running.

This was far beyond that speed.

'Did I really see that correctly?'

Almond was seeing the Power Suit for the first time.

Most of the Battle Royale videos he had watched were for skill improvement, so there were no lucky games where such a Power Suit appeared.

Such exceptional cases don't help with skill improvement.

- So that's why Jason cleaned up down there XD

- Wow, insane XD

- Power Suit?

- Haha XD

- This is the pressure of the armory!

- Are you crazy XD

- Really? I didn't expect to see a Power Suit today.

Bang!

A loud noise accompanied by a terminal scream echoed.

It seems that was the last one.

Jason will now come for Almond.

'I need to block the entrance.'

Almond threw a firebomb he had farmed from a corpse.

Whoosh!

A fierce flame blocked the enemy's path. He then drew his bow, ready to shoot at any moment.

As he turned the corner──

- The suit is immune to fire...

- It also has a gas mask, so it's immune to smoke. It's basically immune to most things. Just don't try to shoot it to death.

- Dang, take the damage already!

Boom!

A loud, ringing noise echoed.

Swoosh──

Suddenly, a blue figure charged up the stairs.

It rushed over in a flash.

'I can't hit it.'

Almond instinctively knew that if the blue figure decided to dodge, he wouldn't be able to hit it with an arrow.

At the same moment, Almond rolled to the side.

Bang!

The blue figure smashed through the opposite wall.

Then it turned around and laughed.

"Hey! Are you Almond?!"

Sure enough, it was Jason.

Jason in the Power Suit.

Almond could finally 'properly see' the Power Suit.

It wasn't as futuristic as he had imagined.

It was more like a poorly designed hero's spandex.

Still, the fact that he knew me...

- Haha, another headshot?

- No, he knows from the kill log.

- Maybe he's a fan XD

- About the sniper with the Power Suit...

- I'm gonna throw up XD

- Anyway, that suit is so gay. Very strong.

- XD The only downside of the Power Suit is that it's embarrassing!

Despite the appearance of the Power Suit, Almond felt both confusion and anger.

'Such a cocky bastard...'

The opponent was displaying a level of composure that only exists in shounen battle series.

To casually call out while having the upper hand.

Almond immediately fired his bow in response.

Twang!

"Whoa!"

The opponent quickly dodged.

Indeed.

An arrow could be dodged just by moving.

He was that fast.

'Still... not impossible to hit.'

However, it wasn't impossible to hit.

No matter how powerful the Power Suit, Battle Royale is a game based on modern warfare.

It just gives the feeling of 'exceeding normal human capabilities.' It doesn't have the monstrous destructive power seen in hero series.

Most importantly, the Power Suit has no offensive capabilities.

The weapon was just a regular assault rifle.

"Since I'm in the suit, at least let me say hello!"

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

The guy spouted extra-like lines while firing his gun.

That gun was also a hero-grade weapon, with no shortcomings in firing speed, recoil, or destructive power.

If Almond hadn't quickly hidden behind a container box, he would have probably died.

Like the wooden box behind where he was standing.

Boom! Boom!

It would have exploded like that.

"Damn..."

As Almond's voice finally showed signs of struggle,

- Haha

- Please die! T_T XD

- Just die once, Almond!

- Is he really going to die here?!

- Is this the first time he's dying with a bow?

The viewers were enjoying it.

There were cases where Almond died due to bad luck for not finding a bow, but this was the first time he was dying with a bow.

They were curious about his reaction.

He would probably say 'Oh...' and queue up again. Everyone knows, but the fear of the known is scary.

The viewers wanted to see that scene.

'No way.'

Almond had no intention of showing such a scene.

No matter what, this was a skill stream.

Ding!

He unscrewed the cap of a smoke grenade he had farmed from a corpse. He unscrewed three in succession.
