Chapter 229
Just like the universe, the black sword moved more spectacularly than ever before—from left to right and from right to left . The trajectory of the Mysterious Sky Sword covered the air regardless of whether it was above, below, left, or right . Accordingly, blue and red trajectories also appeared .
“Oof!”
Every time they blocked Hyeonu’s strikes, Beyond and Matsumoto would make groans of pain . They couldn’t stand it . The power in the light-moving single-edged sword was so heavy that it could be mistaken for a blunt object .
‘I’m getting used to it,’ they thought .
However, this was it . Surprisingly, the attacks were very simple . They didn’t reach the level of the person who was ranked first in the arena and an undefeated player . It was just that they couldn’t cope with Alley Leader’s high stats and attack power .
“It isn’t as complicated as one might think . ”
“I agree . It seems players of this level are also in the master rank . ”
The two men whispered while they were far away from Alley Leader . They seemed to be finding a ray of sunlight in despair . Of course, they would die today . However, they were hopeful they could win the next time they met .
Matsumoto asked, “Are you shooting the video? I’ve been doing so since we’ve started . ”
Beyond nodded as he too had started filming from the moment Team Hell ran away . “Of course . We have to gain as much as possible before we die . Then we will have fewer regrets . ”
The two of them had only fought together briefly, but in the meantime, they had become quite close . This was a bond gained by dealing with their common enemy known as Alley Leader .
“Then let’s go again . We must pour out everything without caring,” Matsumoto said .
Beyond nodded at Matsumoto’s words . The current humiliation wasn’t important . The only important thing was that they could pay it back later .
“I’ll go first this time,” Beyond declared and ran toward Alley Leader . Beyond thought about all the trump cards he had kept hidden so far . He had a buff type skill that he acquired from an instance dungeon he accidentally came across .
‘Ram of Destruction . ’
Ram of Destruction was a good buff skill . It only lasted a few moments, but his stats were doubled . However, it was a skill that should only be used in certain situations since his stats would decrease by half for 30 minutes after the duration of the skill was over .
[Ram of Destruction has been used . ]
[All stats have increased . ]
‘I can hold on like this . ’
Now that all his stats had doubled, it seemed that he could last against Alley Leader’s attacks . No, he had to endure unconditionally . It took less than a minute for him to realize how arrogant he had been . His confident heart was broken when Alley Leader’s sword headed toward him .
Alley Leader’s attacks were terribly powerful . Beyond realized it only after being hit by it . So far, Alley Leader hadn’t even used sword energy, let alone pure energy . The black flames swirling around Alley Leader’s single-edged sword ate at Beyond’s pure energy like the flames of hell . In addition, it didn’t only eat up Beyond’s sword energy; it swallowed up Beyond himself .
Surrounded by black pure energy, the Mysterious Sky Sword cut through Beyond’s defenseless body . Beyond’s body was split in two, and blood scattered everywhere like spring flowers .
Matsumoto saw it and got goose bumps . It was only one exchange of attack and defense, yet this alone caused Beyond’s sword to fly away before he was cut in half by Alley Leader .
‘This is crazy . ’
Just then, Matsumoto’s eyes widened even further as Alley Leader appeared like a ghost in front of him . Alley Leader’s sword contained the momentum of splitting the world in half . Matsumoto miraculously managed to raise his sword to stop Alley Leader from attacking .
However, it was up to there . Matsumoto lost strength in his hand and dropped his sword . He hurriedly lowered his head . Due to his urgency, his hands shook, and he couldn’t pick up his sword properly . When Matsumoto finally picked up his sword and looked up, his gaze met Alley Leader’s eyes that were filled with black flames .
Blood soared like a fountain from Matsumoto’s cut neck .
“Uwah! It’s over . Tang-E, come out . Pick up the items . ”
Now was the pleasant looting time .
***
As Tang-E picked up the items, Hyeonu leaned halfway down against a tree .
‘I feel cool inside . ’
Hyeonu felt like he had been suffocating for weeks . It was even more so because it was a mistake that hadn’t been made by him .
‘I’m glad it’s cleaned up . ’
The Mano Guild was a true spy . It had been easier for Hyeonu to organize his plan thanks to the information Patrick sent him from time to time . He often sent Hyeonu the details of the movements and plans of Five Stars and the Zenith Guild .
‘I am forced to work with Mano . The other two are completely finished . ’
This was natural . Mano proved they weren’t betrayers . Hyeonu was the one who brought them into this situation, so he had to take responsibility for it . Meanwhile, Five Stars and Zenith were over . At least, until the end of the main scenario, they would never be able to reappear .
Hyeonu’s current wicked deeds figure was zero .
‘At least 20 of those who died today had over 20 points . ’
This meant that many players of the two guilds who died in Hyeonu’s hands had the mark of a murderer . At this moment, Hyeonu showed a subtle smile as he had a thought .
‘They bought it well . ’
Today, Hyeonu didn’t show proper control apart from his technique of reflecting the opponent’s pure energy . This was a very calculating act . It was a deliberate move to make rumors about himself .
-Alley Leader isn’t powerful because of his control but because of his high stats and items .
The reason for this rumor was simple . It was to throw them a rice cake called hope when he made his professional debut . In the Pro League, all contestants had the same stat points in PvP . The only difference was in distribution . This was why each player’s skills shone even more . Those who heard the rumors from this video would have preconceived notions about Hyeonu . Then Hyeonu would break that preconceived notion in his debut match .
‘Drama, drama . ’
“Kyah! I am drunk . Drunk . ”
Hyeonu admired the big picture he drew .
***
During the time when Hyeonu was indulging himself, Tang-E was eagerly picking up the items dropped by the players of both guilds .
“This is mine, this is for Master dude, this is for Master dude . . . ”
Tang-E glanced at Hyeonu and secretly slipped the item into his chest . Then he picked up the other items and threw them in front of Hyeonu like nothing had happened .
“Master dude, I’ve finished picking them up . Check them out . ”
Hyeonu was amazed by the items gathered in front of him . In fact, the number of items was quite large .
“Why is there so much?”
“Is it a lot? I picked up everything that was dropped . ”
Tang-E misunderstood Hyeonu’s words because of his secret actions and defended himself . However, Hyeonu didn’t notice . He was distracted by the items in front of him and wasn’t interested in Tang-E .
“This is all . . . ”
Each item was rare rated or higher . In some cases, unique items were also visible . However, he didn’t intend to wear them because the performance was worse than Hyeonu’s current equipment .
‘I will leave it to Nike to sell them . ’
There was no need for Hyeonu to sell them himself . It was easier to leave it to Nike, his management . Originally, such a thing should be done by management anyway .
***
Hyeonu buried himself in his newly bought massage chair . The massage chair was newly bought because the intensity of his PT was increasing every day . Now it wasn’t possible for his body to recover before the next PT session with just rest . However, Hyeonu hadn’t been able to use it properly because he had been busy with the Balder Mountains and Alley Leader Academy . During this period of time, only Yeongchan had been using it .
Hyeonu entrusted himself to the pleasant vibrations beating his whole body . An exclamation involuntarily flowed from Hyeonu’s mouth, “Ah, it’s good!”
Yeongchan walked past the living room and discovered the scene . “You’re only using it now? It seems that things went well based on your expression . ”
“That? It’s great . They are finished . First of all, I killed all the masters . I also killed half of the rest . ”
“So it will be hard to see them for a while? I don’t know about their streams, but I guess that means they won’t be seen in the Balder Mountains?”
“Yes . I also got a few items . Was it around 40-50? There is a list on the table . Tell me if there is anything you need . I’ll give it to you . ”
At Hyeonu’s words, Yeongchan hurriedly picked up the piece of paper on the table in the center of the living room .
“You got all of this? Crazy . This is crazy!” Yeongchan exclaimed when he saw the list of items on the paper .
It was literally crazy . At first glance, dozens of the items listed weren’t easy to obtain from the current auction house . The items listed here could be sold for billions .
‘I wouldn’t be able to sleep after having these things taken away . I would be furious . ’
Now he even had sympathy for them . How could they fall asleep after these expensive items had been robbed from them?
“Then give me these two rings . That’s it . ” Yeongchan pointed to two names as he pushed the paper in front of Hyeonu . The items that Yeongchan pointed to were better than those he wore currently .
“Really? Then you have to pay for it, right?” Hyeonu made a circle with his thumb and index finger . The items couldn’t be given for free . They might be friends, but a transaction should be thorough .
“A price?” Yeongchan cocked his head at Hyeonu’s words . ‘Is he asking me for money?’
“I’ll give you money . How much should I send you?” Yeongchan had no objection to Hyeonu’s words because the closer they were, the more careful they should be to give money for things .
“What nonsense are you saying? Why should I take money from you? Are you crazy? Have you not taken your medicine today?”
“Then what is it?” Yeongchan was impressed with Hyeonu’s words . Did he mean to give two items to Yeongchan as a gift?
‘This jerk, I understand . ’
Yet at this moment, Hyeonu’s words shattered Yeongchan’s touched emotions .
“You have two choices . Wash the dishes for half a year or clean for half a year . Which one will you choose, Yeongchan?” There was a bright smile on Hyeonu’s face, and it was brighter than ever .
“ . . . I will wash the dishes . ” Yeongchan gritted his teeth and walked to his room .
At this moment, Hyeonu got up from the massage chair . “Right, Yeongchan . I forgot something . ”
Yeongchan instinctively turned to look at Hyeonu . Hyeonu looked more comfortable than ever .
“What is it this time?” Yeongchan opened his mouth while trying to hide his anxiety .
“The transaction fee is two chickens . Fried chicken with onions is delicious these days . I ordered that and the original fried chicken . Pay for the food when it gets here . Understood? In addition, set the table . I will come out after washing up . ”
After he finished speaking, Hyeonu jumped into the bathroom .
Yeongchan yelled, “Gang Hyeonu!!!”
