Chapter 118
-Go to World’s search box and search for the terms ‘Mano’ and ‘raid’ together .
-Or you can filter it based on the number of viewers .
-Now 10 million people are watching Mano’s stream, so it should come out right away .
“Thank you, everyone . I’ll be sure to repay you later . ” Hyeonu acted as the viewers taught him . He opened World and found Mano’s stream . “Yes, I found it . Let’s see . I’ll give commentary while watching . I’m going to stream an interlude . ”
The battle was already at its peak when Hyeonu entered the Mano Guild’s stream . However, it took less than 30 seconds for Hyeonu to realize this was his imagination .
“I think Mano has done a great job . The boss monster’s body looks very wounded . ”
As Hyeonu said, the body of Alkyl’s leader, Edward, was wounded . Edward’s armor showed no signs of being broken, but there was blood flowing all over his body .
-No . That is just bait . There is constant recovery .
-ㅇㅇ . Just a bit more . It’ll come out soon .
-They can’t hunt him because of this .
Hyeonu shook his head at the audience’s unexpected words . Recovery . . .
What did this mean?
“Does he have a skill to restore his health? Is there a pattern?”
-No . It isn’t a pattern . It is just recovery from time to time .
-If you spill his blood, it will recover . If you cut him again, it will recover .
-Uh, he is doing it now .
At this moment, a black-red air current appeared around Edward’s body .
“How can this be? What are the magicians doing?” Marco shouted . It was a voice full of frustration .
Marco’s heart felt like he had swallowed an entire sweet potato .
‘Is this the third time?’
It was already the third recovery pattern . CC didn’t work against the scenario boss monster because his level was too high and he had good magic resistance . Additionally, it wasn’t a monster with poor intelligence as Edward was a humanoid monster . The current situation was the worst . Approximately a third of the guild members were already killed . There was no hope if Edward recovered once again .
“Use magic!!” Patrick shouted while casting his magic . Talking while casting magic—it was an amazing technique .
Hyeonu saw it and marveled . ‘I’ve felt this way before, but this magician is very good . ’
“Um . . . They’re not doing well . My experience is from playing other games, but when hunting a boss who uses a recovery skill, you need to use skills that don’t give him time to recover or make recovery impossible . It seems impossible for the Mano side . It will probably be over soon,” Hyeonu evaluated soberly .
Mano’s situation was frustrating . It was a situation where they were anxious and couldn’t find a solution . The Mano Guild’s magic struck Edward who was surrounded by the black-red air currents . Even so, the black-red air currents didn’t stop . There was no change . It was like nothing had happened .
“Just die, Alexander’s wastes . ” Edward swung his sword quickly . The black-red force concentrated around Edward’s sword shot out in the form of a crescent moon . Then the pure energy flew quickly toward the place where the magicians were gathered .
“Use defensive magic!” Patrick immediately gave the order . Simultaneously, he deployed a shield . The shields of the magicians were overlapped over Patrick’s shields . However, the shields which looked very hard were torn apart . Edward’s pure energy tore them apart like tearing a sheet of paper .
“Ack!”
It was an annihilation . The Mano Guild was signed out with a short scream .
“Aren’t I right? You have to be careful when hunting humanoid boss monsters . They have very powerful skills and intelligence . It isn’t hard for nothing . That’s why I beat the executives the way I did . It is impossible for someone else . ” Hyeonu gave commentary that showed his signature great sense of pride .
-Ah, it is here again .
-Why can he never stop bluffing?
-This is his nature . It can’t be helped . It is easier if you give up .
-However, it is impossible to refute the facts .
Now the viewers gave up . It was just like this . After all, it didn’t matter if he boasted or not . Even Marco knelt under Edward’s sword .
“Alexander . . . It won’t be long before I cut your neck . ”
This was the end of the stream . Once the raid came to an end, the Mano Guild’s stream ended . Hyeonu turned off World and returned to the screen .
“I’m sorry, but I’ll see you in five minutes . In the meantime, ads will be playing . I will be preparing for the Edward raid . Then I’ll see you in a few minutes . ”
Hyeonu played an advertisement during the stream and sent a whisper to Gang Junggu .
‘I don’t know where Edward is . ’
Hyeonu heard that the Mano Guild had raided Edward, but he had no information on Edward’s location .
-To Gang Junggu: Brother?
-From Gang Junggu: Are you going to ask Edward’s location? I was going to tell you, but you just left?
Gang Junggu had already grasped Hyeonu’s intentions .
He had predicted this behavior when he saw Hyeonu leave the meeting room without looking back .
-From Gang Junggu: There is a building similar to the imperial palace of the empire . Edward is there .
-To Gang Junggu: Thank you, Brother .
‘Time . . . There is a lot left . ’
There were still four minutes left before the advertisements were over . Hyeonu was now going to check the rewards of the quest .

Numerous messages appeared . Hyeonu removed the new quest window and checked the keepsake straight away . The keepsake was a small ring . The name of the ring was Master of the Mysterious Sky .
[Master of the Mysterious Sky]
[A ring used by the masters of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art for generations .

“Groan . . . It has an epic rating . ”
Hyeonu acquired his first epic item . It wasn’t just Hyeonu alone . As far as he knew, no one else had acquired an epic item, so he was the first . Hyeonu wore the ring without hesitation and placed Goryeon’s Ring in his inventory . Goryeon’s Ring was the ring with the lowest specs . It added experience and skill proficiency and 100 points in magic power . In Hyeonu’s current state, the Laek Completion Proof Ring that gave +100 to all stats was better than just magic power +100 .
However, that wasn’t all . The moment he put on the new ring, another message appeared .
[The skill Mysterious Sky Demonic Art’s rank has risen to 3 stars . ]
[The skill ‘Mysterious Sky Range’ will be created . ]
[Mysterious Sky Range]
[Use magic power to create a blade storm .
Cooldown Time: 5 minutes . ]
Once the Mysterious Demonic Martial Art reached three stars, a new skill was created that seemed to be quite powerful .
“Sigh . Let’s relax, Hyeonu . ”
Hyeonu struggled to clear his mind as much as possible as he thought about the upcoming stream . Still, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling .
“Is that man Edward?”
Hyeonu moved to the place that Gang Junggu told him about . It was reminiscent of the emperor’s palace . Just like the emperor, Edward sat on the throne .
“Are you Edward, the leader of Alkyl?!” Hyeonu exclaimed .
He had an ulterior motive behind doing this . It was the result of analyzing the Mano Guild’s raid video . He came to the conclusion that no one could independently hunt Edward . So, Hyeonu planned to extract as much information as possible in case of the worst situation .
“Who are you? You dare to come here and say my name in that manner?!” Edward descended from the throne and slowly walked forward toward Hyeonu .
He had an overwhelming presence . Every time he took a step, the space became breathless .
‘I need to look for an opportunity to summon Tang-E . ’
“I am the disciple of the empire’s number one knight, Duke Lebron . Leader of the rebels, I have come to take your head . ”
It was cheesy, but it couldn’t be helped . This was the only way he could get better information .
‘I don’t know who developed this part, but they have bad taste . ’
Regardless of Hyeonu’s dissatisfaction, Edward started to do what he had to do .
“Lebron? That person has a disciple? Moreover, it’s an adventurer? Hahaha!” Edward burst out laughing . “Sure, if you can take it, then take it . However, the price of the opportunity will be your life . ”
Edward slowly pulled out his sword . Hyeonu summoned Tang-E without missing a beat . Tang-E appeared with a brilliant magic circle and noticed it easily . “Master, I feel a very strong magic power over there . You must avoid it . ”
“It is too late . Tang-E, hide in the back . Don’t forget to use your buffs and magic . ”
Tang-E nodded at Hyeonu’s words . He buffed Hyeonu and hid in an inconspicuous space .
[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 . ]
[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 felt his entire body heat up even more . Due to his many buffs and skills, his stats had risen in a ridiculous way . This wasn’t the end . Edward was a boss monster, and he was also a humanoid one . Hyeonu’s stats were raised once again due to the Solo Raider and Achieved 100 Consecutive Wins titles .
‘In the end, I didn’t gain any information . ’
Sigh . Hyeonu let out a small sigh . He hadn’t received any information . Now he had to risk his own life to kill Edward .
‘If I can’t kill him, I will be giving away this scenario to others . ’
Hyeonu was desperate . It would be the end if he didn’t kill Edward . Such a mindset provided appropriate tension for Hyeonu . Hyeonu also pulled out his sword . There was no time to convert the shape of the new sword, but this didn’t mean Hyeonu couldn’t use it .
Hyeonu lightly released sword energy . Hyeonu’s strategy against Edward was simple . He was going to use out-boxing . He would open the distance and jab thoroughly at the opponent . This was a strategy that was possible thanks to one of Hyeonu’s items—the reward from Dwarf Edchan, Memories of Murder . To be precise, it was this effect:
[Health and magic power will recover by 5% of the damage dealt to monsters (includes players and NPCs) . ]
The health and magic power recovery options were Hyeonu’s weapons against Edward, who had an unlimited recovery pattern .
‘Let’s see whose magic power runs out first . ’
Edward broke apart Hyeonu’s sword energy easily . He swung his sword toward the sword energy, and it exploded .
“Is it only this much? Are you truly Lebron’s disciple?” Edward moved . He was so fast that afterimages were visible . Edward’s sword was narrowly blocked by Hyeonu, but he wasn’t pushed too much .
‘Edward isn’t very strong without pure energy . ’
This was the disadvantage of humanoid monsters . They lacked physical ability compared to other boss monsters . Of course, this was also a disadvantage due to Hyeonu’s ridiculous stats supporting his offensive . Thus, it was a disadvantage, but it could also not be a disadvantage .
‘I will go forward step by step . ’
Hyeonu planned for this raid to last a long time . In any case, there was no information . The best way to do this was to push straight forward . Hyeonu’s body grew . His movements were so fast that it looked like his body stretched . Hyeonu showed a sudden movement and swung his sword several times .
Edward didn’t care about being cut with Hyeonu’s sword because he believed in his recovery skill . Rather, he wielded his sword to counterattack .
[Edward, the leader of Alkyl, has received the abnormal condition ‘bleeding . ’]
‘Uwah, crazy guy . ’
Hyeonu prayed . This was a complete lunatic . The name ‘berserker’ couldn’t be better suited . Hyeonu wasn’t afraid of being beaten, but he was tired of Edward’s attitude of only attacking . Edward wielded the long sword with black-red energy around it . Hyeonu lightly avoided Edward’s attacks .
There was a paper-thin gap between Edward’s sword and Hyeonu’s sword . Hyeonu immediately fought back with fresh movements .
‘Heavy Blow . ’
It started with Heavy Blow .
‘Magic Power Explosion . ’
Then there was an explosion of magic power .
‘Crescent Moon Cut . ’
The finish was Crescent Moon Cut . A huge black crescent moon energy emerged from Hyeonu’s sword and aimed at Edward .
[Edward, the leader of Alkyl, has received the abnormal condition ‘bleeding . ’]
The black sword energy that appeared in front of Edward’s eyes cut off his right hand . Blood spurted from the place where the right hand was cut off .
“Kuhahaha! After all, you’re worthy of being Lebron’s disciple . Then let’s have a proper fight from now on . ”
Edward laughed crazily, and he didn’t seem aware that his hand had been cut off . A black-red air current soon wrapped around his body .
‘It is the recovery pattern . ’
Hyeonu was watching Edward show the pattern of recovery when he realized he had forgotten something .
‘Damn . . . ’
“ . . . Uh!!”
