Chapter 163
The fire magic of Team Shadow’s magician struck the centaur captain’s waist . The centaur captain’s condition was disastrous . His body was covered with all sorts of wounds . Among them were several serious wounds . There was a long cut running down from the back of his human torso to the back of his horse lower half as well as a cut on the chest . Both were made by Hyeonu .
‘Now I have to begin,’ Tony thought while feeling anxious .
This way, they would be able to kill the centaur captain without any crisis . It was all due to the power of one person—the man who fought against the centaur captain without being pushed, Alley Leader . This was a situation created by that monstrous man .
Alley Leader was more monstrous than Tony thought . Tony hadn’t known there would be a player in the world who could have a one-on-one confrontation with a boss monster . He had believed the videos uploaded to World had been the result of the production situation . Then he actually experienced it and realized it was real .
Tony lowered his sword toward Alley Leader from a position where Alley Leader couldn’t see him . The other members of Team Shadow nodded at the same time . Tony’s action was a pre-planned gesture . He meant to pretend to make a mistake to damage Alley Leader .
Unaware of it, Hyeonu simply focused on dealing with the centaur captain .
‘Their skills aren’t trash . They are at the level of ordinary rankers . ’
Anyone who heard it would wonder if this was a compliment, but it was actually a great compliment by Hyeonu’s standards . At this moment, a red glowing sphere flew toward Hyeonu’s back . Just then, a wall of ice appeared from somewhere and blocked the flames flying toward Hyeonu’s back . Hyeonu was no longer in the place where it would hit . The moment he noticed something flying to his back, Hyeonu used Blink to escape .
‘Has it finally started?’
“What’s going on?” Hyeonu asked Tony and the others in a low voice .
“It’s a mistake . It absolutely wasn’t on purpose . It seems that our magician made a mistake because you moved too quickly . I’m sorry,” Tony hurriedly apologized to Hyeonu in the midst of this urgent battle .
However, this led to Hyeonu being convinced . ‘Would people who make mistakes be so good at speaking? He isn’t flustered at all . ’
“Then get out of this . Take your hands off the centaur captain raid . Right now . Otherwise, I will kill you,” Hyeonu said .
Everyone here could feel the extent of Hyeonu’s anger in his voice .
“This is ridiculous! We are the ones who found the boss,” one of Team Shadow’s players shouted at Hyeonu .
“Really? Then I will leave . Let’s see how long you can hold up . Then after logging out, watch my channel . Everyone will be a global star,” Hyeonu stated before moving to a different spot .
The place where he sat down already contained a bear with golden fur .
‘Alley Leader’s pet!’
‘When did he summon it?’
Team Shadow had many questions, but they couldn’t express them . This was a huge crisis . It wasn’t an exaggeration to say it was the worst situation . In front, there was the centaur captain with the double-edged sword who was almost impossible to deal with . In the rear, there was Alley Leader watching them with folded arms .
“Tony, what should we do?”
At his team member’s urgent cry, Tony bit his lips and replied with a distorted expression, “First, we need to kill the centaur captain . He doesn’t have much health left . After that, we have to kill Alley Leader . No one has been logged out yet . Stay calm . ”
Following Tony’s orders, Team Shadow showed neat movements . Hyeonu smiled when he saw that . His smile was obviously full of ridicule .
‘Will those specs be able to prevent the attacks of the berserk centaur captain?’
“It is ridiculous . ” This was something that Hyeonu could state because he had been in charge of attacking the centaur captain until just a moment ago . As far as Hyeonu knew, Tony’s specs could never stop the centaur captain’s attacks . Of course, he could stop it once or twice . However, it was the role of the sub-tanker to stop it once or twice, not the main tanker . One time . . .
Boom!
Then the second time . . .
‘The third is the last time . ’
The double-edged sword of the centaur captain pierced Tony’s chest . It was as Hyeonu expected . There was nothing more to see after that . The centaur captain started to cut at Team Shadow as if to return all the pain he had suffered so far . The players disappeared with one slash .
Hyeonu didn’t come forward until all the players of Team Shadow were logged out . What about hitting them in the back? He wasn’t interested in such a thing . In fact, he just didn’t care about Team Shadow . He had no reason to be interested in such things .
There was no need . Only the weak would pay attention to such a thing . Now Hyeonu was the strong one, at least in Arena .
“Tang-E, please use Roar . ” Hyeonu finished speaking and flew toward the centaur captain . Tang-E’s roar was heard from behind Hyeonu .
‘Okay . The defense is reduced . ’
Hyeonu finally used his giant skills that he had saved so far . Now there were three different things .
[Giant’s Power has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
[Giant’s Nature has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
[Giant’s Origin has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
The number of Hyeonu’s giant skills had only increased by one, but the effect had doubled . The giant skills increased his strength stat in proportion to his magic power and physique stats . The centaur captain was in a good mood . It was fun for him to cut the flesh of the humans who annoyed him .
At least, until the human in front of him appeared . He couldn’t hit this man, no matter how he swung the double-edged sword . The human seemed like a ghost . However, he was the captain of the centaurs . He couldn’t lose to a single human .
“Kuah!” The centaur captain roared and started to run toward Hyeonu . The centaur captain’s lower body was of a horse, so it moved at a speed that humans couldn’t compare to . His movements were much more natural than those of someone riding a horse . The centaur captain’s double-edged sword danced . Hyeonu saw the double-edged sword move through the air and used Mysterious Sky Steps .
‘Mysterious Sky Steps . ’
His body moved in a remarkable manner, leaving several afterimages behind . The centaur captain’s sword slashed through the air without going anywhere near Hyeonu . Suddenly, Hyeonu appeared close to the centaur captain and stabbed Dark Star into the centaur captain’s side .
However, it was the double-edged sword that was waiting for Hyeonu instead of the centaur captain’s skin . The centaur captain had been wary of Hyeonu’s movements from the start and lightly deflected Hyeonu’s sword . Just then, Hyeonu’s sword moved bizarrely .
Dark blue sparks appeared around the centaur captain’s double-edged sword . Hyeonu’s destination wasn’t the original place he aimed for but the opposite side . His sword, which was overlaid with pure energy, pierced the centaur captain’s side without any resistance . Tang-E’s roar that shattered defense and Hyeonu’s high damage helped Dark Star break through the centaur captain’s skin .
“Kuaaah!” A scream burst from the mouth of the centaur captain . The feeling of cold iron piercing his body was a pain that no living creature could bear .
[The centaur captain has been afflicted with the ‘burned’ abnormal state . ]
Crasul’s curse caused a small fire to appear in the centaur captain’s wound .
“Kuooh!” The centaur captain screamed more harshly from the hot pain . Hyeonu smiled slightly at this sight .
‘One more time here . ’
There was a huge magical explosion inside the centaur captain . It was from the sword attached to the centaur captain’s body . The centaur captain had its health exhausted from the ongoing battle . He received Hyeonu’s attacks and couldn’t afford to fight back . It was even worse because the centaur captain’s defense was reduced from the berserk state . Everything would be over if he were hit again . He didn’t have the stamina to move the double-edged sword to fight back .
Hyeonu pulled the sword from the centaur captain’s body, and blood burst out like a flood .
[The centaur captain has been afflicted with the ‘bleeding’ abnormal state . ]
Hyeonu dealt the final blow against the centaur captain . ‘Mysterious Sky Range . ’ Dozens of black blades slammed into the centaur captain . Once the storm passed, the only trace left of the centaur captain was the blood on the ground .
[The centaur captain has been killed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
[The title ‘Centaur Slayer’ has been created . ]
[Centaur Slayer]
[A title given to the player who kills the centaur captain .
Effect: Agility +100, physique +50 . ]
It was an unexpected gain .
‘I didn’t expect to get a title here . ’
He got a title from an unthinkable place . Hyeonu had thought that he would only get items if he killed the centaur captain . Fortunately, he got a title .
‘It is a good performance . ’
Still, the biggest income was separate from that . It was a video . Hyeonu had started filming everything from the moment he doubted Team Shadow . As a result, he was able to obtain a video similar to the one in the past that made him stand out to Nike .
“It is an actual profit . ”
Hyeonu automatically smiled as he thought of the income he would receive because of this video .
Hyeonu uploaded the full version to his channel without any editing .
‘It will be good to appeal to my original intentions . ’
It was an extremely calculated act of capitalism .
[Alley Leader’s beginning . Being hit in the back of the head . avi]
The number of hits rose in an instant . There were more than 100,000 in less than 10 minutes after it was uploaded .
‘Should I check the real-time response for the first time in ages?’
Hyeonu was full of expectation as he waited for a response to the video . Some time passed . The people watched the video that lasted an hour and started to write comments one by one .
-Buddha Buddha: Isn’t this similar to the dark elf video in the past? There are still idiots left .
-Seoul National University Goddess: It is too real to be a fake . They are too stupid to be real . Team Shadow is a perfect team of idiots .
-Nampo-dong Sushi Restaurant: I don’t know how they became rankers . They don’t have eyes for people .
-Jongno-gu Collector: It isn’t a hunting or streaming video . It is just like the beginning, so it gives a fresh feeling .
-Northern Hemisphere World: By the way, did they get a commission from somewhere? They are famous among the rankers . They are experts at hitting people in the back . I have to remember Team Shadow .
‘The responses are good . ’
“The money is better . ”
Hyeonu was pleased that the response from his subscribers was as good as expected . It was true that he had been concerned . He had been prepared, but it hadn’t been a pleasant experience to be hit in the back of the head . Then the moment he received tangible and intangible compensation, the uneasiness disappeared and left only a good mood .
Hyeonu knew one of the best ways to maintain this pleasant atmosphere . “Yeongchan, let’s eat chicken! I made some money today!!!”
