Chapter 181
“I know it only needs at least six people, but it usually consists of 12 people . Six people will form two parties . ” The answer flowed from Moon Doyeong’s mouth, not Jamie’s . Six people—this was the minimum number of athletes as defined by Quency .
“I think at least six people are needed for the siege and raid . Instead, a penalty will be imposed for balance whenever the number of opponents differ . ” This was what Quency’s representative had stated when the professional league was established .
At first glance, it seemed good to have a team of six and not receive a penalty . Even so, there wasn’t a single team in the league with just six players . Two tankers, two damage dealers, and two healers formed a party . This was the cornerstone . No one was left out .
Of course, there were teams that challenged it with six people . However, they would fail the raid and get defeated in the siege . They might have the advantage, but they failed to overcome the numerical inferiority .
“We will go with six people . It is the minimum number of people limited by regulations . That will be the number of players on my team,” Hyeonu said .
The other two people didn’t laugh at Hyeonu’s joke . It was because they couldn’t tell if it was actually a joke .
“Really? Do you mean those words?” Moon Doyeong looked like he was in disbelief .
Hyeonu nodded and replied, “I didn’t tell you anything untrue . ”
In some ways, it was an answer that surpassed confidence and went to conceitedness . Jamie saw Hyeonu’s imposing appearance and nodded slightly . ‘It is enough with Alley Leader . ’
Hyeonu certainly had the ability to do so .
‘If I think about the days of meleegod, it wasn’t just about his class and items . It was about a difference in skill,’ Jamie thought .
meleegod was a myth . It was a name that was regarded as big talk among acquaintances . Yet it was real, and meleegod had returned as Alley Leader .
“Well, I respect your opinion . I will listen to Mister Gang . Then how many players do you want Nike to pick?”
“Please make a list of 10 people who meet my conditions . I’ll decide after . ”
The moment Hyeonu finished speaking, the conversation of the three people came to an end .
Hyeonu once again failed to reproduce the Mysterious Steps and collapsed with a whine . “Whyyyyyyy?! Whyyyyyy?! I just can’t be happy!!!” This had been his routine for the past few days . He practiced the Mysterious Sky Steps until his magic power ran out, and if it didn’t work, he would hone the Mysterious Sky Range .
Lebron felt bitter at the sight of this . This adventurer apprentice seemed to have no idea what it meant to be satisfied .
“If you want it to be so soon, then you might as well have moved like a dog or a cow . What are you whining about?” Lebron stared at his disciple who had been staying at his training field for days .
‘He is going to leave today,’ Lebron thought .
Hyeonu’s development speed was freakishly fast . It was unknown what medicine he took, but his use of magic power increased every day . Lebron had called him a genius, but this was too much . Obviously, Hyeonu practiced footwork, but other things developed as well . For example, the attack tactics that were occasionally visible now boasted a considerable level . There was also the Mysterious Sky Range . The first time he learned it, he had 10 seconds to prepare it .
Moreover, it would be with the weakest amount of power . Now, that time had been halved . No, it was more than half . Additionally, one or two swings would suffice to release enough pure energy .

Just then, the shouts of Lebron’s disciple filled the training field . “That’s it!!”
Hyeonu was successful . Lebron turned his head and could see Hyeonu moving everything in the training field with a bright expression .
“Master, I succeeded . Can I leave now?” Hyeonu asked playfully .
Lebron responded with the same feeling, “Yes, shouldn’t you run for the peace of the empire? After all, I heard you’re the greatest worker . Do you understand?”
“I understand, Teacher . ” Hyeonu left Lebron’s mansion after four days .
After leaving Lebron’s mansion, Hyeonu headed straight for the Balder Mountains . It was to solve Hyeonu’s quest .

‘I will go around to the places I didn’t go to the other day . ’
Now Hyeonu was eager . It didn’t matter if the previous hunt was good or not . Things were different now . Time had passed since then, and there were rumors that clues about the main scenario had been acquired .
‘It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not . It is a fact that time has passed . ’
He was confident that if he could participate in this main scenario, he would wipe out everything without leaving a single bit of dust behind . Hyeonu might’ve felt dubious in the last main scenario, but he was convinced now . Having learned a new magic power technique from Lebron, Hyeonu thought he was better than he was before .
“Tang-E, can you find it this time?” Hyeonu asked Tang-E, who looked like a cute teddy bear . Tang-E, as always, was sitting on Hyeonu’s shoulder, which had become a seat reserved for Tang-E .
“This time, I feel good . Well, isn’t it good to think positively? In addition, you’re much stronger than before, so hunting will be easier . ” Tang-E had a positive outlook .
Although Tang-E words might have no sense of professionalism at all, Hyeonu was still in a good mood . “Yes, thank you for saying so . ”

He added inwardly, ‘I hope this is the case . ’
There was a saying about how unlucky words became a curse . The meaning of the saying was that spoken words became a reality, and it was generally used to advise others to ‘speak carefully’ . Right now, however, the saying was used in a good sense .
Hyeonu discovered a dungeon, and it was one that looked pretty good .
“It’s good, it’s good . It’s good that such a thing happened . Don’t you think so, Tang-E?”
“That’s right . It is because I said good things . ”
The expression in Hyeonu’s eyes looked as sweet as honey as he stared at the cave in front of him, and his mouth was wide open in a grin .
[Would you like to enter Johannes’ Residence, the foundation of this mountain range?]
The name of the dungeon was Johannes’ Residence . This told him that the name of the boss monster was probably Johannes .
‘I have an opportunity to test the Mysterious Sky Steps and Mysterious Sky Range . ’
“I will enter . ”
The moment Hyeonu spoke, black light poured out of the cave and started to devour Hyeonu and Tang-E .
The view inside the dungeon was like the interior of a typical stone building . The size of the current area was approximately the size of a football field . The smoothly-cut interior was impressive .
‘There is a passage over there . ’
Hundreds of meters away, there was a passage that connected somewhere else . Hyeonu naturally stepped toward it . The moment Hyeonu stepped toward the passage, a wall that had no passage moved to the side and giants poured out .
“Intruder alert!”
“Wipe out the intruders!”
“Make those who invade Johannes’ residence pay!”

The giants rushed toward Hyeonu with bizarre cries .
[Master of Combat is activated . ]

[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 wasn’t activated?’
There was one thing Hyeonu could figure out just by looking at the message windows in front of him . It was the identity of these giants .
‘It is a golem, not a living thing . ’
They were golems . Golems ranged between low-level monsters and high-level monsters, depending on the skill and materials of the producer . This was a rule that wasn’t only used in Arena . It was a rule that was common in all virtual reality games so far .
‘Golems have appeared, which means the master here is a magician . . . ’ Hyeonu started to speculate about Johannes’ identity .
This only lasted a moment though . His thoughts were forced to stop because of the golems rushing in .
“Tang-E, buffs!” Hyeonu asked for buffs from Tang-E and then moved toward the incoming golems .

“Ohh!” Tang-E’s eyes were filled with wonder after buffing Hyeonu, and he purely admired Hyeonu’s movements . “Master dude has become a different person in a few days . ”
In front of Tang-E’s eyes, Hyeonu’s body seemed to split into two or three . Hyeonu was so fast that he created afterimages that were more like clones . He generously showed off the magic power control that he had honed for several days . Every time Hyeonu’s sword swung, two or three blades of pure energy struck the golems . The golems that got hit by Hyeonu’s pure energy dropped their stones like buildings crumbling after getting hit by a wrecking ball .
Hyeonu didn’t stop there and continued to emit pure energy . The giant pure energy took on the form of a crescent moon and shot forward fiercely with enough momentum to destroy everything in front of him . It was no different for the golem . The golem’s torso was separated from its cut waist and fell to the ground with a loud roar .
[Johannes’ Guardian No . 1 has been killed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
‘I gained a lot of experience . I think I can gain a few levels here . ’
In Arena, dungeon monsters basically gave great experience . Even after taking that into consideration, the amount of experience given by the golem was still huge . Maybe their level was quite high . Other rankers would’ve struggled if they came now . Yet for Hyeonu who had high defense penetration, the golems were nothing more than fun stones .
The movement of Hyeonu’s sword resumed . Simultaneously, the golems started to explode again . It was a clean sweep . The golems fell .

It took Hyeonu less than 10 minutes to get rid of the remaining golems . This was a crazy hunting speed . If other people had seen it, they would have found it astounding . After all, it usually took a party of six people around 15 to 20 minutes to complete a single hunt . Moreover, this was based on monsters with the same or slightly higher level than them .
Hyeonu had a much faster hunting speed than that, and this was while hunting monsters at a level far higher than his own .
“Tang-E, did they drop anything?” Hyeonu questioned the looting Tang-E .
The answer came back steadily .
“Being expectant will only make my stomach ache more, Master dude . Always think of the worst . ”
It was a completely different attitude from a few hours ago .
