Hyeonu moved his feet to avoid the branch that approached him .
‘?!!’
However, his body didn’t listen to him . His body was as stiff as a log, and he couldn’t move . No, he was moving, but it was like he was being stopped . So there was no difference .
[The other party has the fighting energy stat . ]
[The other party is stronger than you . ]
[Your stats will drop . ]
[You have the ‘fighting energy’ stat . ]
[The stat reduction effect won’t occur . ]
[The other party has used Fighting Energy Emission . ]
[Resistance has failed . ]
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has entered a ‘slowed’ state . ]
Hyeonu couldn’t move his gaze away from Raccoon’s branch . Just before the branch touched Hyeonu’s body, his body was scattered . It was Blink . Hyeonu appeared 10 meters away using Blink .
“Why are you being like this? You have to teach me how to use fighting energy!” Hyeonu shouted .
Then Raccoon hit himself on the head like he just remembered something . “Ah, I haven’t explained it yet? Let me explain then . Fighting energy is literally a willingness to fight . Think of it being emitted . ”
“What nonsense is this?!”
It was just like trying to catch a cloud .
“Then the explanation is over . Shall we start over?”
After Raccoon finished speaking, he pushed Hyeonu terribly again . Raccoon had prepared the spar with Hyeonu despite not needing it to teach Hyeonu . This spar was actually for his son, Cancun . Cancun had been consistently pushed by Hyeonu and lost . He hadn’t been able to dominate in strength, and in terms of technique, he had gotten pushed so badly that it could be said he had been overwhelmed .
‘Son, this is the way you should go . ’
Green energy rose from Raccoon’s branch and formed the shape of an axe . The green axe caused the space to burst with an overwhelming force .

‘Crazy . ’
Hyeonu managed to escape from Raccoon’s attack using Blink . There was no way to escape if he had physically moved his body . It wouldn’t have been possible to avoid it without Blink . Hyeonu used Area Proclamation like he did in the spar against Cancun . Other than this, he barely had any way to fight back . The use of Area Proclamation caused black energy to cover the place .
‘Now it is a bit okay . ’
It seemed that he could ‘evade’ even if he couldn’t attack or counterattack . Just then, Raccoon’s axe-shaped branch struck Hyeonu again . This time, Hyeonu wasn’t beaten helplessly . The moment the branch approached, he moved behind Raccoon using Mysterious Sky Steps . Then he aimed his branch at Raccoon’s branch with no hesitation . There was a burst of magic power that struck Raccoon’s back . Hyeonu’s damage wasn’t low even though he was using a branch .
However, Raccoon waved his branch casually like he hadn’t received much damage . Hyeonu dodged Raccoon’s attack by bending his back, but the aftermath shook the balance of his body .
‘It is dirty . ’
Hyeonu’s branch also started to take another shape with black energy . Behind the mask, Hyeonu was smiling . He couldn’t remember when he had fought such a one-sided battle .
‘This is truly more interesting . ’
One-sided hunting was also fun . However, the most interesting thing was PvP . To be exact, it was a fight that risked his life against an opponent stronger than him . It was at this moment that a red energy started to flow from Hyeonu’s body . The pure struggle caused his fighting energy to appear on the outside .
[A skill has been created . ]
[Fighting Energy Emission]
[Emit fighting energy to defeat your opponent’s will to fight .
The power will vary greatly depending on the opponent .
Type: Continuous
Rating: Unique
Skill Proficiency: F
Usually reduces the opponent’s stats by 5% . Your stats will increase by 10% .
If fighting energy is emitted, the opponent’s movements will slow down .
The more severe the stats difference, the more effective the skill will be . ]
“Wow!” Hyeonu screamed as he forgot he was sparring with Raccoon . The new skill was one that decreased the opponent’s stats while increasing his own . In a way, it maximized the performance of the fighting energy stat itself . The additional effect of Fighting Energy Emission was even greater . It was an extremely sweet effect for Hyeonu who had no proper CC skill . Limiting the opponent’s movements meant that Hyeonu’s attack was more likely to be effective .

“Oh . . . You are truly an adventurer . You learned how to use fighting energy in such a short time . . . ” Dakan exclaimed . He truly thought that this adventurer was an orc . Otherwise, fighting energy couldn’t be used so naturally . Hyeonu was a phenomenal talent .
“My friend, your master is amazing . ” Cancun was also amazed . He was a talented orc, but even he had taken a long time to use fighting energy .
“Of course . This is what he needs to deserve to be my master . ” Tang-E’s shoulders went up upon hearing the praise from the two orcs . It was at this moment that something red burst from Raccoon’s body . The sticky aura took control of the surroundings .
Then Raccoon moved . His attack shattered Hyeonu’s branch, and the spar was over . Raccoon felt Hyeonu’s use of fighting energy and showed his full-fledged strength .
“I felt it before, but it’s really great . ”
Hearing Raccoon’s praise, Hyeonu bowed his head lightly .
“Right, aren’t you going to Bung Bung Island? Shouldn’t you go at least once if you’re that little guy’s master?”
“I was busy and forgot about it . Bung Bung Island . . . ”
“It will be quite interesting if you go . It is a really great place . ”
Raccoon’s words made Hyeonu curious about Bung Bung Island . He had to go there once anyway because of Tang-E . It wasn’t a bad idea to visit Bung Bung Island once his work in the Balder Mountains was over .
Hyeonu and Tang-E were escorted by three orcs as they left the Black Forest .
“Tang-E, can I go to Bung Bung Island now?”
Tang-E was surprised by Hyeonu’s sudden question . “Why are you asking all of a sudden? Do you want to go to Bung Bung Island?”
“Just . . . I wonder about where you live . I’m curious about what your parents are like . ”
Upon hearing Hyeonu’s words, Tang-E looked satisfied . “Master dude, I think you can go now . You are much stronger than you were before . However, I don’t know the exact location, so I’ll teach you next time . I will ask about it first . ”
Tang-E didn’t know how to get to Bung Bung Island . Why? It was because he had never left Bung Bung Island before he was summoned, and he always went back when his summoning was released . In other words, Tang-E had never walked out of Bung Bung Island on his own feet .
“You can take it slowly . There is still a lot of time . ” Hyeonu smiled as soon as he saw Tang-E scratching his head .
The more he saw, the cuter he thought the bear was .
‘This little bear doll . ’
“Master dude, wait a bit . I’ll teach you next time . ”

It was a bit rough though .
Hyeonu frowned at the loud sound that came from the surrounding forest . Two days had passed since Hyeonu stopped at the Black Forest . In the meantime, a lot had happened in the Balder Mountains . A photo was posted to Arena’s community . The protagonist of the photo was naturally Hyeonu . It was unknown who shot it, but they had taken a photo of Hyeonu’s back at a nearby castle which he had stopped by on his way to the Balder Mountains .
This wasn’t a big deal . The problem was that many players were rushing there to see him . Hyeonu was like someone playing the flute . People flocked once ‘Alley Leader’ appeared, even if it wasn’t the real Alley Leader . In some ways, he was like a goblin holding many treasures .
It wasn’t a false expression . After all, regardless of who saw it, Hyeonu’s performance up to now had been amazing . There was always an incident everywhere he went . He had also driven the main scenario and become the center of Arena . As such, he now attracted the attention of many . At this time, Hyeonu felt someone’s gaze .
‘There’s more trash chasing after others . ’
Trash . . .
They were trash called hyenas . Hyeonu’s face became even more distorted . It was an expression that couldn’t be seen anymore .
“Hey, can you come out now?” Hyeonu called out .
Then a group of people appeared .
“Hello? Alley Leader . We are called the Venom Guild . ” The leader of the party showed a general level of courtesy to Hyeonu .
‘Venom?’
It was the first time Hyeonu had heard of this guild . They could never be anonymous if they were active in the Balder Mountains . The fact that they were obscure meant they didn’t make money by selling themselves . However, no one could be indifferent in front of an astronomical amount of money . Even the richest Pioneer Guild did streaming or community activities .
Additionally, even if someone enjoyed it purely, they would become famous after becoming a ranker . This was Arena .
“Venom . . . This is the first time I’ve heard of it? There was a guild like this?”
To ordinary people, Hyeonu’s words were very rude . He had an obvious disregard for the other party .
-I don’t know who you are . You aren’t at a level I need to care about .
This was what Hyeonu was implying . Rankers hated it when their pride was touched .
“Well . . . our guild isn’t that famous . It is understandable . ” Yet this man received Hyeonu’s words like the Venom Guild was indeed insignificant .
It was unknown if he accepted Hyeonu’s words or just pretended to do so . There didn’t appear to be a crack on the surface nor did any anger appear .
“Today, I came to say hello . We’ll see each other soon . I’m looking forward to that time . ” The man disappeared with a hot laugh .
“Isn’t he a completely crazy bastard?” Hyeonu muttered as he watched the direction in which the man had disappeared . It was clear that this crazy guy had the chuunibyou disease . Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to say such remarks so casually .
“My fingers are curled up because it is so cringy . . . ”
Hyeonu’s fingers couldn’t stretch back out .
Time passed, and it was once again Monday . Hyeonu waited for Choi Yoon in the arena . His mind was filled with a mix of anticipation and anxiety . He was excited about Choi Yoon’s growing skills, but he was uneasy about the rumors . Just then, someone else appeared in the arena room where only Hyeonu was present .
“Ah, you’re here? Have you finished packing your luggage?” Hyeonu welcomed Choi Yoon who appeared .
“Huh? Yes . Thanks to your consideration, the preparations are complete . ”
“You’re going on a plane tonight?”
“Yes, it is at 12 o’clock . The day of the surgery is set to the nearest date . ”
“Once we’re done streaming today, there will be a car waiting outside the hospital . Nike said they prepared it . Take it and go to the airport . ”
Upon hearing Hyeonu’s words, Choi Yoon bowed his head and reiterated his gratitude . He seemed to be favored every time they met . “Thank you every time . I don’t know if I’m receiving too much . . . ”
Hyeonu waved his hands at Choi Yoon’s words . “No, it isn’t what I’m giving to you . Choi Yoon, you only need to pay attention to the stream today . ”
Then Hyeonu showed Choi Yoon a video . It was an ordinary ranking battle video of two swordsmen fighting, except that one side was overwhelming the other .
“Why is it like this?” It was naturally Choi Yoon who asked the question .
He had watched videos like this countless times . It was of no use when it was just before the ranking battle . Hyeonu started to explain to Choi Yoon why he was showing the video . “Looking at the recent battle video, I think you are on track to a certain extent . The problem is . . . there are a lot of bad rumors these days . ”
Then Hyeonu stopped talking for a moment before continuing . “It is rumored that their numbers have increased considerably . ”
“Them?” Choi Yoon asked .
‘Them? Who is he talking about? Are they people who have anything to do with me?’ Choi Yoon didn’t know who they were .
Hyeonu repeated, “Yes, them . ”
