Chapter 106
“Are you Alley Leader?”
A man came forward from the group filling up Kunta Plateau . The man was dressed more prominently than the others . He was a white knight wearing white armor and holding a white sword . It was Marco, who was the guild master of the Mano Guild and ranked 22nd in the arena rankings .
“Who are you, speaking so informally as soon as we meet? It makes me feel quite bad?” Hyeonu said bluntly to Marco .
Marco shook his head at Hyeonu’s words and didn’t answer the question . ‘It doesn’t matter if it is right or not . ’
“You aren’t Alley Leader? Are you a fake?”
“A fake . . . Go and check World . I’m the real one . ”
“Really? Then it’s fine . ” Marco gestured to the people around him . Then the Mano Guild members spread out and surrounded Marco and Hyeonu .
“What is this? Can you explain it?” Hyeonu questioned Marco like he knew nothing .
“A few days ago, you took care of a few of my kids . I’m their leader, so I have to pay you back . I can’t live while owing debts to people . ” Marco aimed an ugly expression at Hyeonu . It was a powerful display of killing intent .
Hyeonu sighed and looked around . ‘There seems to be a few over 30 people . . . Did he drag everyone here?’
“Can you pour so many people into one spot? Aren’t you participating in the main scenario?”
“Huh, how do you know that? It doesn’t matter . If I kill you, I can get even more benefits . We also aren’t weak enough to be pushed before several people are logged out . This is Mano,” Marco declared with pride . Marco’s words were true . Mano wasn’t a guild that would be pushed by Red Bull America and JT Telecom due to a few departures . However, there was one thing he didn’t know .
“How many people will be logged out? Let’s see what will happen after you’ve all been swept away . ” Hyeonu also showed a confident expression . In the first place, this big picture was drawn by Hyeonu himself . It was on the assumption that he could handle all of them .
“What? Let’s see?” Marco laughed with outrage . He didn’t know where this person’s confidence came from .
Regardless of what Marco said, Hyeonu didn’t care . This was already going according to his plan . ‘I just didn’t expect it to happen in the middle of streaming . ’
It wasn’t a bad thing though . Why?
“I’ll win . ”
Hyeonu glanced at the single-edged sword hanging from his waist . Marco and the other Mano Guild members pulled out their weapons . “Let’s compare it . Who will fall off Kunta Plateau?”
Hyeonu’s knees bent slightly as he finished speaking .
[Master of Combat is activated . ]
[Your stats have increased . ]
[The stat ‘fighting energy’ has caused your stats to rise . ]
[The other party is stronger than you . ]
[Your stats have increased . ]
[Mindset of a Murderer has activated . ]
[All stats have increased by 15% . ]
Hyeonu’s body was reinforced with various buffs and shot forward like lightning . Simultaneously, Hyeonu’s sword shimmered . Two members of the Mano Guild were swept away by the sword energy that quickly emerged .
“Don’t panic and buff the tankers first!”
Following Marco’s order, the members of the Mano Guild acted in perfect unison . First, they healed the two warriors who were hit by Hyeonu’s sword energy and then placed buffs on the tankers . The magicians started casting attack magic and CC skills .
‘CC is partially defended against by Immovable Heart . . . ’
[Immovable Heart]
[You possess an unwavering heart .
A disciplined mind rules the body .
Type: Continuous
Rating: Unique
Skill Proficiency: F
You will be immune to an opponent’s abnormal condition skill in a situation where the opponent’s magic power value is lower than yours .
There is a 5% chance of resisting an opponent’s abnormal condition skill in a situation where the opponent’s magic power value is higher than yours . ]
If it was clear that their magic power value was higher than Hyeonu’s, they would definitely become the targets . Hyeonu had a skill for magicians . To be exact, it was Tang-E, not Hyeonu .
“Tang-E!! Roar!”
The moment Hyeonu yelled, a small bear appeared on one side of the forest . It was originally very small, but it soon became four meters tall . Then there was a huge roar that emerged from it .
[The roar of pet ‘Tang-E’ has been heard . ]
[Magic casting is forcibly canceled . ]
[Attack power and defense is reduced by 14% . ]
“Cough . ”
“Kek!”
The vast majority of the magicians’ spells were canceled . The magic power backlash was a bonus . Roar had the hidden effect of ‘fear . ’ It was the ability to interfere with magic casting .
[You have received Bear’s Momentum . ]
[Physique has increased . ]
[Strength has increased . ]
[You have received the Forest’s Blessing . ]
[Physique has increased . ]
[Health will continue to recover . ]
Tang-E didn’t stop there . He buffed himself and pushed toward the opposing tanker line .
‘Good . ’ Hyeonu smiled when he saw that the magicians’ skills were canceled . Tang-E was a really good pet . Hyeonu had this thought as he jumped into the air . Tang-E was attracting the aggro while Hyeonu’s work was behind .
[Giant’s Power has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
[Giant’s Nature has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
Hyeonu used the giant skills and moved . He blinked twice in a row . No one noticed that Hyeonu had moved even by the time he already swung his single-edged sword . Hyeonu’s chosen prey was a magician . No opponent was as easy to hunt as an immobile opponent .
A giant black sword energy struck the magicians who couldn’t move due to the magic power backlash . The magicians of the Mano Guild used the skills attached to their items as soon as possible . However, it wasn’t possible for Marco or the magicians to have items with skills that could prevent Hyeonu’s attack .
“Kuaack!”
“Help me!”
The magicians hit by Hyeonu’s sword energy screamed . Others were in terrible pain .
“Huup!” Hyeonu took a deep breath before moving once again . This time, it was Mysterious Sky Steps instead of Blink . The goal was some magicians who were still unable to move . However, this time Hyeonu failed to achieve his goal . Just as two magicians were logged out by Hyeonu’s sword energy, a man in white armor blocked Hyeonu’s way .
“You are rampaging very well . ” Marco stepped forth .
This might be Alley Leader, but Marco had briefly observed the situation because he believed in his Mano Guild . The result was disastrous . The unexpected appearance of the bear ruined everything . The magicians momentarily lost power and became garbage . The stupid melee classes were distracted by the bear, and in the meantime, the magicians were hit by Alley Leader .
‘It is a great strategy . ’ Marco smiled bitterly . “However, I can’t just watch anymore . It is up to here, Alley Leader . ”
Hearing Marco’s words, Hyeonu snorted . “What are you saying? This will be your grave . How many items will you leave behind? You should be glad this isn’t a character deletion bet . ”
Hyeonu hit back even harder instead . Marco heard this and kicked off from the ground . He decided it was no longer worth listening to Hyeonu . Marco’s movements were agile and unexpected for a knight in heavy armor . He truly was a top ranker of the arena . With his ranking as 22nd in the arena rankings, Maro had the items and skills to match it .
His class was a paladin . If Kim Seokjung was a famous monk player, then Marco was definitely a famous paladin player . He was called a berserker, a phoenix, a cockroach, and the like . It was evaluated that he fought really well according to his class characteristics . Unlike other paladins, he had the advantage of being fast .
‘However, that is according to other people’s standards . ’
In Hyeonu’s eyes, Marco’s movements were really visible . There weren’t many monsters in the Hejin Mountains who moved at slower speeds than Marco . The tattooed golems and enhanced stone golems were both faster than Marco . A paladin had high physical strength and defense, but it was useless in front of Hyeonu . With extreme attack power, overwhelming defense penetration, and faster movement speed, Hyeonu had better specs than any other ranked player in PvP .
Of course, he was better than Marco, both in skills and items . There was nothing to see here . It was unconditionally Hyeonu’s victory . A huge explosion occurred as Hyeonu’s sword energy slammed into Marco’s sword .
“Who is moving like a slug?” Hyeonu sneered at Marco who was thrown away . It was Hyeonu who struck like a lightning bolt before Marco could move his sword .
‘Damn, I might be a paladin, but why is the movement speed so different? Isn’t his class a knight?’ Marco couldn’t understand .
Alley Leader had a knight-type class . Even if he was in leather armor, it didn’t make sense that his movement speed would be so high . It was impossible for Hyeonu to have class skills that increased his movement speed like archer or assassin classes .
In the end, Marco couldn’t come to a conclusion and decided to hit with his body . ‘It can’t be helped . It has to be the normal method . ’
“Buff!” Marco shouted, and buffs flew in from all over the place .
This was the method the Mano Guild frequently used in raids . The completely buffed Marco would take on tanking and aggro while hunting the boss monster . His opponent had changed from a boss monster to Alley Leader, but Marco thought it wouldn’t make much of a difference . Rather, he thought it was a good thing .
‘His defense won’t be as high as a boss monster’s . ’
He thought his offensive power would be enough to knock Hyeonu down . This was all because Marco didn’t know much about Hyeonu . If he had frequently watched Hyeonu’s videos and analyzed them even once, then he wouldn’t be making this judgment . It happened because Hyeonu’s videos always seemed like they would enter one of Marco’s ears and exit from the other .
So far, Hyeonu had caught boss monsters well even by himself . This meant that Marco, who wasn’t a boss monster, could be defeated more easily . It didn’t take long for Marco to realize this . Marco fell to just three attacks . The first blow was a collision . Marco’s main skill, Saint Cross encountered Hyeonu’s Magic Power Explosion .
In the aftermath, Marco’s guard was released . The next attack didn’t come from a single-edged sword but a fist . Hyeonu pretended to swing his sword while stretching out his left fist . Marco’s armor was struck by Hyeonu’s fist and got crushed .
Hyeonu’s gauntlets, Memories of a Murderer, held tremendous power . Since teaching Dwayne, Hyeonu’s combat style had changed a bit . It didn’t just involve the use of his single-edged sword but also his fists, feet, and shoulders . He wielded them randomly .
Then the third blow . . .
It was Crescent Moon Cut . The dark sword energy flew toward Marco who made a bloody sound .
