[But who is Signal Flare? It keeps getting mentioned in the chat.]

I heard they’re a notorious anti-Momo.

I don’t watch Virtual YouTubers, so I wouldn’t know.

— Mugeon914: Hmm, is that so…

— Mugeon861: So that’s how it is…

— Mugeon351: You’ll find out when the time comes…

— Mugeon734: Let’s stop this conversation…

[But that can’t be a Signal Flare.]

Is it a Signal Flare because it’s a Crazy Shot?

Look closely at the weapon.

It’s a pistol and a sniper rifle.

That’s definitely not a Signal Flare.

Because every time I get bored, I search for Signal Flare records, and this guy has never played without a Double Barrel.

— Mugeon651: Seriously, what is this, just a suspicious foreigner?

— Mugeon712: Either way, it’s funny, let’s have a drink.

— Mugeon125: If it turns out to be a Signal Flare, that would be legendary, lol.

In fact, getting kills was Mugeon’s specialty, and it’s a bit unfair to the foreigner who got lucky with a viewer participation.

— Wow, you got a sniper.

— Serious mode on.

— Let’s hear the viewers’ voices.

That’s because the moment Mugeon picks up a sniper, his kill-catching ability goes wild.

Even now, he’s a former pro, and not just any pro, but a sniper.

:: Anonymous Sponsor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: I kind of regret not choosing Hawkeye now. ::

— For real, lol.

— If it were Hawkeye, I’d be getting kills every time I used my ultimate.

Hawkeye can summon a railgun every five minutes.

This sniper rifle, loaded with five rounds, causes extreme slowdowns for a short time when it hits, allowing for additional hits or even a guaranteed kill.

That’s why sniper-specialized pros like Mugeon can take down at least one, if not two, opponents when they have a railgun.

Choosing Hawkeye would be like declaring, “I will definitely kill at least one of you.”

“It’s okay. It’s a kill bet against the viewers, no need to go that hard.”

— lol.

— Great Mugeon.

— Always in my favor, haha.

— True, it’s just viewer participation, no need to get heated.

But as he said, it is viewer participation.

If a pro-level player prepared this to tease Mugeon, that would be one thing, but is there really someone like that at this hour?

“Shall we try for a light 1 kill?”

Just then, Mugeon spotted a target slowly crossing the open field, unaware he was being targeted.

It seemed like the player was in a hurry, having gotten separated from their teammates while trying to farm items.

Aiming for today’s first victim, Mugeon pulled the trigger mercilessly.

Bang!

With the sound of shields breaking, a poor user hit the ground.

It’s a game where even a headshot with a heavy sniper and a Double Barrel doesn’t guarantee a kill, but that only applies once the shield level exceeds 2.

In other words, the wandering user didn’t even have the common 2-level shield and went down.

— Clean.

— Goodbye,ㅠㅠ.

— Of all times!

While mourning for the poor player, Mugeon loaded his next shot.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger for a guaranteed kill,

Boom!

A smokescreen suddenly spread out, enveloping the downed user.

I fired a shot, anticipating the position, but there was no guaranteed kill.

— ?

— What the hell.

— Looks like they have a protector.

— For real, that smokescreen reaction is fast.

It seemed there was a skilled player casually playing with the newbie.

With no choice, Mugeon decided to change his position.

If he kept shooting from the same spot, he could easily be targeted by others, a habit ingrained from his pro days.

Even though the character Bipul detects every minute, it doesn’t provide exact locations and distances, so it’s better to prepare in advance.

However, just as Mugeon moved to a slightly lower terrain and peeked out from behind a rock,

{{Mugeon is a Famous Momo Anti >> (Kill) This game is so damn hard.}}

Suddenly, a guaranteed kill was made.

And it was by the Momo Anti’s pistol.

— ?

— ??

— What the hell.

— When did that happen?

Thus, one kill went to the Momo Anti, and Mugeon received one assist— in ranked games, kills and assists are calculated based on accumulated damage for rank points, but in casual games, it’s simply determined by who gets the last hit.

“Um… Viewer? When did you get that far? You’re really fast.”

Technically, it was a stolen kill.

Even though it’s a kill bet, it’s rare for someone to steal like this.

So Mugeon thought that the Momo Anti must have gotten lucky and snagged a kill from the smokescreen.

Just then, the Momo Anti spoke in their usual TTS voice.

[I am the devil. The thrill of taking lives.]

— What are you saying, lol.

— I can’t understand…

— Are you saying you’re happy about stealing a kill? lol.

— Oh, I see.

— Ah, you’re happy about stealing a kill, lol.

— Damn, lol.

As the viewers said, maybe it was fun to steal a kill.

Knowing that Mugeon was watching him through the scope, the Momo Anti suddenly started dancing.

Not long after, bullets flew in from a distance, hitting him a few times before he stopped, but it was definitely a provocation.

“Aha. So that’s how you want to play.”

— Whoa.

— If you provoke me, you’ll have to pay the price, hmm.

— This is going to get messy, lol.

But the Momo Anti made a big mistake.

With his strategy completely exposed, there was no way Mugeon would mess up.

[dpckddlstod13 has left the squad.]

Just then, one person included in the random squad left, leaving only Mugeon and the Momo Anti.

In this situation, the moment one of them dies, the bet is over.

Sure, the dead person can be revived, but since there’s a bet involved, reviving? That’s not an option.

If it were a normal bet, it wouldn’t matter, but is there really a need to save someone who just stole a kill and provoked?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mugeon charged toward the Momo Anti, making a loud gunfire sound.

As soon as they saw that, the chat exploded.

— Is that a Signal Flare? lol.

— No way, brother, such a sneaky method, lol.

— Genius idea, lol.

— Are you going to lose the bet? You have to do this, lol.

Although the Signal Flare was similar to what Momo used to do, there’s no better action to draw in nearby enemies.

In other words, Mugeon declared.

Like the game’s name, he would open the Colosseum and challenge them to a fierce battle. The first to die loses the bet.

Sure enough, the enemies occupying the nearest high ground began firing at the direction where Mugeon and the Momo Anti were standing.

Mugeon immediately slid away.

Sliding, jumping, dashing, and changing direction in mid-air, he soon found himself behind a rock.

As soon as he took cover, he checked the likely enemy positions with his scope and saw an enemy on the cliff, reloading without hiding.

Without hesitation, Mugeon pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

… Why isn’t the gunfire echoing?

The question was answered thanks to the updated scoreboard.

{{Mugeon is a Famous Momo Anti >> (Kill) What the hell, give me back my spine.}}

This enemy also had a level 1 shield.

The enemy who went down from Mugeon’s headshot was immediately followed by a bullet from the Momo Anti.

In other words, the Momo Anti pulled the trigger at nearly the same speed as Mugeon.

‘Their reaction isn’t at a normal level…?’

You can’t just fire back immediately when the enemy shoots.

After playing a few games, you’ll realize that doing so will only get you shot by the waiting opponent.

A typical example of this mistake is Momo.

Famous for being a brawler, she often died doing similar things, and Mugeon had already lectured her a hundred times.

For those who have played games, especially pros, it’s common sense to first make the enemy empty a magazine with evasive maneuvers before taking cover.

Mugeon naturally did that.

But it was surprising that the Momo Anti, who he thought was just a notorious viewer participant, did the same.

Even in a rush to take cover, their positioning was perfect.

There was no way bullets would come from behind, so they only had to watch in front.

They even couldn’t hold back and started talking again, as if the kill was so delicious.

[Two deaths. A huge difference. You are facing a crisis.]

To sum it up, this viewer participant who was stealing Mugeon’s kills and acting cocky was at least diamond level, or possibly even a pro trainee level.

— Ah, lol.

— The more I hear, the more I’m annoyed…

— Am I the only one finding this hilarious? lol.

— What kind of crazy person is this? lol.

— Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen someone tease Mugeon like this, for real, lol.

— How can they provoke this much in TTS?

Mugeon was still maintaining his composure, but honestly, he felt a bit rattled.

He didn’t know where this trainee was coming from, but they were being too cocky.

However, Mugeon wasn’t worried about losing.

It was still early in the game, and a 2-kill difference could be turned around at any time.

More importantly, his ultimate was about to charge.

There were three enemies who had just been shooting from the cliff.

With one down and two left, a skilled player like Mugeon had to rush in and take them out.

Coincidentally, the legend Mugeon chose for this match was ‘Bipul’.

A scout class legend specialized in detection and searching.

Ding!

Ultimate ready.

Bipul clutched his head and let out a small scream, sending shockwaves in a spherical shape.

Soon, a mark appeared on the map.

One of the remaining two from the squad that had been shooting earlier was marked on Mugeon’s mini-map.

Since it was a cabin built on high ground, Mugeon’s position below the hill was blocked by the cliff, making it invisible.

The only good news was that the enemy was standing still despite being marked.

When their teammate’s head suddenly flew off, they seemed to panic and go into hiding.

In this situation, there was no reason to hesitate.

Moreover, the Momo Anti seemed to have taken some damage in the previous fight and was recovering their shield.

Mugeon grabbed a fire grenade and dashed up the slope leading to the cliff.

— Get ready~

— Fire!

Soon, the grenade flew from the slope right in front of the cabin, crashing through the glass and filling the room with flames.

For a moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside.

The two of them burst out of the cabin as if they had made a pact.

Mugeon’s sniper rifle, waiting at the entrance, fired again.

Bang———!

Due to being scorched by the fire, even with a high shield level, one enemy went down immediately.

Mugeon reloaded and charged forward.

There were still living enemies, but he was in the middle of a kill bet.

As long as he dodged the panicking enemy’s bullets, it was more important to secure a guaranteed kill on the crawling enemy.

Bang!

Immediately after, Mugeon pulled out the pistol from slot 2 and fired.

Only then did he take down the last enemy, who had just noticed him and turned their gun.

It seemed the practice he had done all day paid off, as three out of four shots were headshots.

Since it was the last member of the squad, it didn’t just go down; a guaranteed kill popped up.

And just like that, it was 2:2.

Mugeon wiped the small bead of sweat forming on his upper lip, feeling an unexpected sense of relief.

… But what was the Momo Anti doing?

Only then did Mugeon check the map and see that the Momo Anti was ahead of him.

Had he followed along to loot the corpses?

Realizing this, Mugeon rummaged through the loot of the corpse, but to his surprise,

All the shield recovery items had already disappeared.

It was a sneaky interference, showing his determination to not let Mugeon recover and to survive until the end.

[Your dedication. Truly appreciated.]

At this point, Mugeon was dumbfounded.

He had met many snipers, but this one was the first with such skill and a diverse repertoire.

Having always tried to speak properly during viewer participation, it had been a long time since a curse word slipped from his mouth.

“What kind of bastard is this….”

A word from the author (Author’s Note)

So slow.

Even realizing it…
