Chapter 228
Chapter 228
Beyond lost strength in his legs and directly fell to the ground . The present reality was too embarrassing . The situation in front of him was too unbelievable . It was an extremely unusual sight . Alley Leader’s pet had hidden himself from the very beginning .
At first, he was held in Alley Leader’s arms . Then after Alley Leader drew his sword, the pet didn’t appear . It was probably a reverse summoning . So why did the battle become so one-sided? It didn’t make any sense to Beyond . The current situation still was an unexplained mystery even though he knew their stats had fallen due to the strange debuffs from Alley Leader . Just how exactly did Alley Leader not get a single scratch while killing so many rankers?
‘This is ridiculous!’
Three of the six leaders had already been logged out . The only ones remaining were Preby and Matsumoto . Out of the 24 players on Team Hell, there were less than 10 remaining . Nearly 30 members of Zenith had long been struck down by Alley Leader’s sword .
Alley Leader was brutal . Their levels were totally different . His items were excellent, his stats were high, and his skills were strong . This much wasn’t the problem . It was simply a difference in dimension .
‘I didn’t see any pure energy . ’
Alley Leader’s combat style was really plain . Avoid the opponents’ attacks, attack, and aim at the essentials—the combination of these three was invincible, just like now . Preby’s long sword that was covered with blue pure energy quickly stabbed at Hyeonu’s shoulder .
Hyeonu didn’t move much . He just lightly moved his upper body . Once the attack missed, there was inevitably a gap . Hyeonu passed through this gap like a demon . The Mysterious Sky Sword cut halfway through Preby’s armor-covered shoulder . No sword energy was used; it was just a normal hit .
“Uwah!!!” Preby screamed in pain . This was already the seventh time . It was clear that Alley Leader was deliberately not using pure energy . Preby would’ve been logged out already if pure energy had been used . Then he wouldn’t have to go through this pain . . .
Fear slowly started to settle in his eyes as he realized the reality of the situation . Sweat flowed down his forehead . Trauma . . .
Alley Leader had already become Preby’s trauma . The next time he met Hyeonu, Preby wouldn’t be able to hold up his head high like before . He would lower his shoulder and bow his head . This was the attitude he would have toward a predator .
Looking at the flowing blood, the Mysterious Sky Sword bared its sharp teeth toward the immobile Preby . His head was separated from his body and flew through the air . Then Hyeonu lightly shook the blood off the Mysterious Sky Sword . However, the Mysterious Sky Sword was soaked in the blood of dozens of people and didn’t easily show its original appearance .
Nevertheless, Hyeonu didn’t care and just placed the Mysterious Sky Sword on his shoulder . “Why do you keep going back and forth? You don’t mean to run away now, do you? What about your dead colleagues? Bring it on . This battle is very enjoyable . ”
Hyeonu stepped forward, and they stepped back . It wasn’t just once . This was repeated several times like he was playing the game ‘Why did you come to my house?’
“I won’t chase you if you want to escape . I told you that I’m a busy person . Make a decision quickly . Fight hard or crawl away with your tail between your legs,” Hyeonu said while stretching out his hand .
The masked man was staring specifically at two people—the leaders . They already had no intention of fighting . To be exact, they had lost their fighting spirit . As they knelt before Alley Leader’s overwhelming power, Matsumoto and Beyond were overwhelmed by Alley Leader’s words . He wouldn’t chase them if they fled . The suggestion was quite tempting, but there were just too many things to consider at once .
“What to do . . . ” Beyond muttered .
While Beyond was struggling, Matsumoto said, “I think we need to send the kids away first and think about it . ”
Matsumoto’s plan was simple—hit Alley Leader and then run away . That way, they were able to minimize the damage . However, this couldn’t happen in front of the guild members . It was quite difficult to restore a crumbling dignity . If so, it would be better to die in Alley Leader’s hands .
‘I will only lose a bit of experience anyway . ’
It was a decision that Matsumoto could make because he wasn’t a murderer and wouldn’t receive any major damage .
‘We can run away as soon as we get rid of all eyes . ’
“Let’s do that . ” Beyond wasn’t stupid . He noticed the meaning of Matsumoto’s words and nodded .
“Run away . We’ll take care of the back,” Beyond ordered in a solemn voice .

There was just a problem Beyond and Matsumoto hadn’t thought about . The guild members shook their heads and showed a willingness to remain .
‘They can’t do this . . . ’ Beyond’s face was red under his mask . It was evidence of his dismay .
“What? Aren’t you going to leave quickly? Leave and go improve the moods of the other kids!” He eventually shouted .
However, it had no effect on the Zenith Guild players and Team Hell players . “We can’t leave by ourselves . We will fight with Master as long as Master is present . ”
Beyond and Matsumoto were on the verge of breaking down . If the situation carried on like this, it would be wasting the once-in-lifetime opportunity . In the worst case situation, it didn’t matter if the two of them died . The problem was if the guild members who were murderers and had at least 30 points in wicked deeds died . The damage the guilds had already received meant they would have to take a month or two to focus on restoring their power . The guild leaders’ eyes darkened at thought of the remaining members dying .
“Go quickly!” Beyond screamed loudly and waved his hands .
Hyeonu stood far away and observed them .
‘Loyal subordinates and leaders doing a profit and loss calculation . The combination of the two…’
Hyeonu was having a lot of fun with this situation . He didn’t know who had survived, but the two masters were ordering their guild members to flee . It was because this was the best way—the best option for those who didn’t know their true reality . However, the guild members were moved by the sacrifices of their masters and chose to stay and fight to the end . This was why the masters were screaming like this .
‘Considering the damage they’ve already suffered, it will be hard for them to even dip their toes in this main scenario . ’
It didn’t matter if they fled or struggled to the end; Hyeonu had already achieved his purpose . Now it was time for him to enjoy the situation in earnest . Hyeonu organized his thoughts and intervened in the conversation, “I am in tears from witnessing your loyalty . Therefore, I will do my best to match it . Bring it on . Now I will finish it in one blow . ”
Beyond’s and Matsumoto’s thoughts became more urgent . For some reason, Alley Leader, who had been watching them, started to move . They would be wiped out if this continued . The two leaders couldn’t understand why the members were being so stubborn .
“Please run away . This is a command, not a request! If you die, our guild is doomed . I don’t know how many months it will take to get back to the same position . ” Matsumoto and Beyond shouted the same words to their guild members .

“Master . . . ”
“We need power for revenge . Dying here is just dying like a dog . Revenge can only be done after surviving . We will be on a higher level once the damage has been repaired . It will be impossible to beat us at that time . So . . . go to Derek Castle and log out,” Beyond said desperately .
Now was really their last chance to persuade the guild members . There were no more opportunities . Now that Alley Leader had started to move, Beyond and Matsumoto could only endure his attackone more time . Alley Leader said he wouldn’t pursue the other members, but Beyond didn’t believe in that promise .
“Understood, Master . We will be waiting for you to contact us . ” One of Team Hell’s players gripped Beyond’s hand tightly before turning around and running away without looking back .
Then Hyeonu affirmed, “I won’t chase them as promised . The two of you, challenge me at once . Maybe you can win?”
Beyond and Matsumoto held their weapons and stared at Hyeonu without replying .
‘I will step on you properly . This way, you won’t come back later . ’
The one thing Hyeonu noticed from today’s battle was that it was quite enjoyable . It was different from his previous experiences in virtual reality games . He was the best now and would be the best in the future . Thinking of this as an event, Hyeonu laughed confidently .
‘I have nothing to lose . Isn’t it better for them to come at me?’
In addition, the damage was only to those who had messed with him . It was either a loss of items, experience, or intangible damage to their image .
“I’ll take care of the left side . Beyond, you are in charge of the right,” Matsumoto said . He wanted to avoid a frontal confrontation by aiming at Alley Leader’s side .
Beyond replied, “I understand . Let’s do our best . Won’t it be a waste to just die? By all means . . . let’s get revenge . ”

Beyond and Matsumoto flew toward Hyeonu with grim expressions .
‘This time, I won’t die as I did before . ’ Matsumoto gritted his teeth and extended his left hand .
A red energy emerged accordingly . This attack wasn’t the end . Seeing Matsumoto draw his sword, Beyond also swung his sword at Hyeonu . Beyond’s sword waved like a whip, and blue sword energy shot at Hyeonu . It was an exquisite combination . They weren’t master rankers in the arena for nothing . The red and blue sword energies naturally constrained Hyeonu’s left and right sides .
Hyeonu’s response to this was extremely simple . He injected magic power into the Mysterious Sky Sword and deflected the two sword energies with a snap of his wrist . Naturally, the direction of the pure energy changed . The sword energies returned to their owners at an even faster speed . Beyond and Matsumoto were frightened . Their attacks were returned in the original state . . .
It was their first time seeing such a thing . However, they couldn’t just stand by and watch . The two of them poured out their skills to stop it .
‘Crescent Moon Cut!’
At the same time, two blades of pure energy were released from the men’s swords . It was to prevent the crescent-shaped sword energy Hyeonu had just fired . The red sword energy and the blue sword energy were smothered . They returned to nothingness .
It was only Hyeonu’s crescent-shaped sword energy that remained . It was a crescent moon twice as large as the pure energy the two men had fired . The black crescent didn’t target Beyond and Matsumoto . It passed a few meters above their heads .
This alone made their hairs stand up .
“Fight well . Otherwise, isn’t it meaningless to send the other members away? Masters in the arena shouldn’t have just this level of skill . . . ”
Hyeonu was sarcastic . Even so, Matsumoto and Beyond didn’t get angry . It was because the shock they received was too great .
“I hope that today’s meeting will be our last . This is the last time I’ll go easy on you . ”
The Mysterious Sky Sword shone eerily .
