-This battle really shows Alley Leader is superior .
-It is really different . In a few months, he will be ranked number one in the arena .
-If you’re addicted to Alley Leader, then you won’t go see any other streams . In particular, the close range . . .
-Sympathy . It feels like I’m losing my eyes . My level is dropping . I’d rather watch the concept streamers .
The viewers watching the battle between Hyeonu and Held praised Hyeonu but there were also some who didn’t praise him . Hyeonu showed an overwhelming battle against a named NPC . He was clearly pushed in firepower because he couldn’t use the strong force that was called pure energy .
The footsteps which formed every time he was hit and pushed back proved it . The difference between sword energy and pure energy was clear, even if the magic power stat was high . It was even worse if it was in a showdown with a NPC .
NPCs were different from players and got the correction of the system . If they had the same stats, then the NPC would unconditionally win . Hyeonu made up for the difference with all types of skills . The proper use of Mysterious Sky Steps and Blink avoided a direct collision with the pure energy .
They collided, and Hyeonu had to pour out all his skills . It went from Heavy Blow to Magic Power Explosion . The thing Hyeonu wanted was time . Held had the knight class, but he wasn’t a normal knight . He was a knight who used magic power with the dark attribute .
Nevertheless, he was still ultimately a knight—a knight with insufficient magic power . He was different from the Knight of Keon .
‘Just a bit more . A bit more . . . ’
Finally, the time came for Hyeonu . The pure energy around Held’s sword started to blur .
‘Now!’
Unlike before, Hyeonu launched aggressive attacks . Compared to the perfect form of pure energy, the current pure energy was enough for Hyeonu’s sword energy to handle .
“Kuoock . ”
Hyeonu’s sword energy clanged as it collided with Held’s long sword . The result was as Hyeonu expected . It was Held, not Hyeonu, who was being pushed back . The incomplete strength couldn’t endure Hyeonu’s sword energy, which was strengthened by all types of skills .
‘One blow is all that is needed for a human anyway . ’
Hyeonu was aiming for only one blow . It wasn’t even a big skill . As long as he successfully attacked Held once, this battle would unconditionally be Hyeonu’s victory . Hyeonu had ridiculous attack power against humanoid monsters . He was more powerful against NPCs and regular players .
The reason for that was simple . NPCs and players basically had lower health than monsters . They made up for it with armor that increased their defense . However, Hyeonu’s defense penetration level was so high that he almost ignored his opponent’s defense . In other words, someone capable of being Hyeonu’s opponent would have high physical strength, not high defense .
The black moon-shaped sword energy shot from Hyeonu’s sword flew toward Held in a terrifying manner . Held used a minimal amount of magic power to bounce back the sword energy flying toward him .
‘Ugh . ’
It was more powerful than he thought . There was more power than expected, and Held barely held back his groan . It was frustrating . Although magic power couldn’t be used to overpower him, Lebron’s disciple in front of him seemed to have unlimited magic power . Despite pulling out sword energy that became several meters long, the man didn’t seem to be running out of magic power at all .
‘I have to make a decision this time . . . ’
Held prepared for the final blow . He wanted to fight more, but he didn’t have the power to do so . There was only enough magic power left to use a single skill .
‘I have to use it . . . ’

Held decided to use his hidden skill with that magic power . This skill was learned through a book by chance . No one in Alkyl knew its origins .
“Hap!” Held let out a short cry and rushed toward Hyeonu . Held’s feet moved quickly . Simultaneously, his movements started to become bizarre . Hyeonu was astonished when he saw Held’s movements . This was because Hyeonu knew them well .
‘Mysterious Sky Steps!’
It was similar to the Mysterious Sky Steps skill he learned . It wasn’t the same skill, but the framework was definitely similar . This surprise was brief . Hyeonu couldn’t help smiling . ‘Hopefully I’ll be able to get a clue about that quest . ’
He had a premonition that as long as he killed Held, there would be hints about the ‘Successor of the Mysterious Demonic Martial Art’ quest that he had no information on .
[Mysterious Sky Steps has been used . ]
[Movement speed has increased . ]
Hyeonu used the Mysterious Sky Steps . He chose to fight back against Held’s strange movements with the Mysterious Sky Steps . The reason for that was simple .
‘This is the best big picture . ’
At first glance, it was a battle between an NPC with a great mobility skill and a player who used a similar or better mobility skill . It was a close melee battle between the two of them . Hyeonu could imagine the sound of the views rising . Unlike Hyeonu who fell into the imagination of a sweet future, Held couldn’t shut his mouth .
‘How is he using this technique?’
Abyss Movement—this was the name Held gave the technique he got from the book written in unknown characters . The idea was that his movement while using the technique was similar to the demons’ movement seen in books . Since he gained it, his magic power acquired the dark attribute . Now he met someone who used this technique . It was also Lebron’s disciple .
“How do you have this technique?!”
Hyeonu ignored Held’s screams . Instead, he wielded his single-edged sword silently .
Mysterious Sky Steps was a secret that couldn’t be disclosed in the stream . The weapons of Hyeonu and Held continued to collide . Held stepped back to use the skill he gained from Abyss Movement, Abyss Storm . However, this was Held’s misjudgment . It was a mistake because he didn’t know about Hyeonu’s magic power control . As Held was squeezing out all the magic power in his body to use Abyss Storm, he saw Hyeonu wield the broken single-edged sword in the distance .
‘It is too late . ’
The Abyss Storm would be completed before the single-edged sword reached him . Held certainly believed it would be the case . At least, until he saw the sword energy rise from Hyeonu’s sword in an instant . A black snake appeared . The snake that rose from Hyeonu’s single-edged sword crossed the air and pierced Held’s neck .
“Keuk . . . !”
This was the vain end of Alkyl’s third knight division captain, Held .

[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
“Phew . . . ”
It was a really tough fight . The biggest problem was the pure energy . Held was strong . However, the monsters Hyeonu had dealt with so far were also formidable, so Hyeonu didn’t feel pushed too much . He was just helpless when it came to pure energy . Hyeonu couldn’t respond properly . It made people subconsciously think of the power of items and leveling up .
‘It was roughly twice as powerful as Reina . ’
“I’m going to have to do the third class advancement . . . ”
Hyeonu was burning with desire for his third class advancement when Tang-E and Sunny, who had been hiding in the distance, approached .
“Master dude, good work . ”
“Wow, you really killed him alone!!!” Sunny admired Hyeonu . The gap between the video and reality was huge . Alley Leader in the video was just amazing . Amazing—that was the feeling . Sunny became a fan because he made the impossible possible . In fact, it was worth it to see Alley Leader’s battle . He won against a humanoid boss monster, which was considered the most difficult of all boss monsters .
‘He’s such a great guy .
As always, Tang-E picked up the items that had fallen to the ground and climbed onto Hyeonu’s shoulders .
“A book and a sword came out, Master dude . ” Tang-E extended the edge of the sword toward Hyeonu like it wasn’t a big deal .
“Ack! What is this crazy bear doing?” Hyeonu was frightened by the long sword that suddenly appeared in front of him .
This brought pleasure to Hyeonu’s millions of viewers .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The pet worthy of its master .
-When did this turn into a concept stream? I thought he was going to show his skills .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t know how he can fight well when he is scared like that .
-Isn’t this a different thing?
-But seeing him scared is really funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Leader Groupie has gifted you 999 gold coins .
-Tang-E is the Best has gifted you 1111 gold coins .
Gold coins burst out in exchange for the great sight .
It was twice as many as usual .
Hyeonu realized he was streaming only after seeing the messages that filled the screen .
‘Ah, how many of them saw this?’

It was a moment when Hyeonu was once again thankful he was wearing a mask . He vowed to never take off his mask until he made his professional debut .
‘This dark history . . . ’
Hyeonu stopped thinking about it and received the sword and the book from Tang-E . As he confirmed the item information, Hyeonu forgot the dark history . The dark history wasn’t worth much compared to these items .
It almost seemed like the light flowed from the sword to Hyeonu’s eyes .
“Everyone, it is a big jackpot . ”
A sudden message appeared in front of all players involved in the main scenario .
[Held, the Third Knight Division Captain, has been killed . ]
The players were baffled . Suddenly, a knight captain had died . What was the reason? It was like a thunderbolt falling from the dry sky . All of the players gathered here were looking forward to the rewards of the main scenario . To do so, they had to kill one or more of the huge walking items called the rebel executives .
Yet such an executive had died without them knowing the reason why . The moment he saw the message, Yeongchan scolded someone, “Crazy bastard . ”
‘I didn’t see it, but it must be Gang Hyeonu . ’
At this point, there was only one player capable of making trouble in the castle—Alley Leader .
“Brother, who is it—the person who killed the knight captain?” A guild member asked him .
“Do you have to ask? It is Alley Leader . That jerk . It is obvious without looking . ”
“Is it my little brother? He went by himself and did this . . . ”
“His strength is sufficient . We won’t be able to see anything if we’re late, Brother . ”
“You’re right . We also have to use cheap tricks . ”
Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu looked pleased unlike their words .
“Is this true?” Jung Hanbaek looked flustered .
“It is Alley Leader . I got this from the front desk, so it is certain . They can’t be wrong because he is streaming live,” Mascherano said, nailing in the wedge .
“I see,” Jung Hanbaek responded with a grin, unlike his screams inside . ‘Why is it that bastard?!! Why?!!’
Even so, Mascherano knew that Jung Hanbaek wasn’t smiling . ‘If you don’t have an eye for people, you will suffer . ’
“Reina, we will go ahead or we will just be wringing our hands . Shouldn’t we get something this time?”
“Yes, let’s go quickly . ”
“Master, my older brother has killed the captain of the Third Knights Division,” Mason, the disciple of the Great Magician Suped, spoke with a bright expression .
“You mean him? That Held guy?”
“I don’t know . He is just the Third Knight Division captain . ”
Mason’s words caused Suped’s expression to change . He was surprised that Hyeonu’s performance was stronger than he thought .
‘No, it is expected since he passed through Laek . ’
Suped admitted it but this didn’t mean that his surprise disappeared .
“Disciple, can your brother use pure energy?”
“Pure energy? He probably can’t use it . His level is insufficient . ”
“Then how did he beat Held?”
Suped’s surprise turned into amazement . Knights who couldn’t use pure energy would lose 100 times if they competed with knights who could use pure energy . There was no particular reason . They just lost no matter how they fought . This was the common sense of Suped and the continent .
‘Perhaps if Lebron fought against an adventurer . . . ’
Of course, there were exceptions . However, this meant that Lebron’s disciple had the same talent as Lebron . “He is truly a monster, a monster . ”
