Chapter 239
After he started streaming, Hyeonu blatantly drew out the time . He finished one hunt and used the excuse of communication to rest for more than 20 minutes . Once it became one hour and then two hours, the viewers started to protest .
-It is good to talk, but . . . the progress is slower than usual .
-Then he should’ve said it was going to be a communication stream in the first place . . .
-Why? It’s good . There are days like this and days like that . Is it necessary to always hunt monsters in streams?
There were some viewers who protested and others who supported it . The latter liked talking to Hyeonu like they were doing now . It was natural . Every person had different tastes . Hyeonu watched the chat window where the messages kept rising .
‘This . . . Was it too much?’
It was too much . No matter who looked at it, the stream was stagnant . There was nothing compared to his usual streams .
“Is that so? In the future, I’ll be a bit more careful . ”
Hyeonu bowed to the audience .
‘I’ll have to turn it to another area . ’
Nonetheless, Hyeonu had come up with a trick in the meantime . It was a trick that would never be discovered . Hyeonu already knew the area where he was currently streaming . No one knew this field well except for Hyeonu . Therefore, as long as he kept the audience’s eyes carefully on the surrounding terrain, he could buy enough time .
‘I need to kill the monsters slowly . ’
He would show an appropriate pattern . Hyeonu didn’t want it to be as fast and overwhelming as when he fought the purple ogres . Many large guilds were newly involved in the main scenario competition, but Hyeonu didn’t care too much about them . He already knew it from experience .
The Balder Mountains weren’t a place where the guilds could push deeper with just information . Apart from knowledge, it required experience . This meant that it would take time .
‘New World also took a long time . . . ’
It was obvious without looking at other guilds . Even New World, Arena’s greatest guild, took quite a while to build a camp . By the time other large guilds killed the purple ogre and reached Hyeonu’s current streaming location, Hyeonu, New World, and their allies would have already arrived at Cruise Mountain .
‘It means they are the only ones who can actually use this information . ’
The members of the large guilds that Hyeonu had personally recruited were the people who would use the information of the monsters that Hyeonu was going to release today .

If divided by the head, chest, and abdomen, the general size of an ant was between 1mm and 23 mm . As such, people weren’t afraid of ants . Yet, what if the size of the ant grew by 100 or 1,000 times?
“As you can see, there are giant ants in the Balder Mountains . Their name is the legion worker ant . They are more agile than expected, and they also emit poison .
Hyeonu started to speak slowly as he pointed at the giant ants in front of him . The viewers saw this and started jumping out .
-It is too disgusting .
-Please kill the ants .
-What are you doing? Alley Leader? Are you sleeping?
-Why are you just talking? Kill it right away .
-There is no need for an explanation .
They instinctively expressed displeasure at the appearance of the giant ants .
“Additionally, their shell is very hard . However, it is vulnerable to the fire attribute . Lightning magic is also effective against it . ”
Hyeonu gently flicked his fingers . Tang-E, who was waiting next to Hyeonu, made huge spears of lightning and fired them toward an ant . Two spears penetrated the giant ant’s shell and were stuck in the giant ant’s body . Then the spears in the ant’s chest burned with blue flames . The abdomen also burned . The difference was that it was burned by the splashing blue sparks, not the flames from the spears .
“ . . . . . . ” The giant ant let out a cry of pain, but the sound was in a realm that a human couldn’t hear .
“Do you see? If you attack it properly with the right attribute, it will die very well,” Hyeonu stated .
There was something he had realized while walking around the Balder Mountains .
‘The attribute has become quite important . ’
Originally, the attributes were important . It meant an additional increase in damage . Nevertheless, the attributes held a different sense of importance to Hyeonu now . The reason for this was simple . The defense of the monsters in the Balder Mountains was too high . Therefore, if a player’s defense penetration wasn’t high like Hyeonu’s, they would have to hit the monster for a while before killing it . In Hyeonu’s mind, the Balder Mountains were a type of starting point—the starting point of killing monsters cleverly with attributes, rather than beating them without thinking like before .
‘Will more magicians appear in the future?’
It seemed their position would rise considerably higher than it was now . Once needed, demand would arise . Supply remained the same, so the value was bound to rise .
‘It doesn’t matter to me . ’
In any case, Hyeonu was in a position where he could hunt alone . Additionally, he had an omnipotent pet called Tang-E who was capable of using three attributes of magic . Then it happened while Hyeonu was immersed in his thoughts . Something caught the viewers’ eyes .
-Hey, what is that?
-Is the forest moving now?
-Why is he procrastinating so much?
It was a wave of green, and it really seemed like a forest was moving . Hyeonu also witnessed the scene . He had to see it since the words in the chat window were in front of him .
“What is this?!”
Hyeonu was startled when he saw the wave of green . It was because he had figured out the identity of the wave . The wave consisted of legion worker ants like those Tang-E had just killed, and they were coming in great numbers . The reason for the ants flocking toward them was simple . Not long ago, the legion worker ant Tang-E killed with magic let out a silent scream . It spread a message to the surrounding legion worker ants, ‘I will die here . The opponent is strong, so go back . ’
Despite that, the worker ants who received the message didn’t go back . Instead, they gathered to get revenge for the dead worker ant .
‘Take a deep breath . ’ Hyeonu took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure, calming his astonished heart .
Then he opened his mouth to say, “Everyone, a large group of worker ants are coming . I’m used to it . It has happened more than one or twice . Just kill them . Then your experien/ce and skill proficiency will increase well . ”
Hyeonu showed an attitude that wasn’t flustered at all . However, the over 20 million viewers had already heard him cry out with surprise, so such acting wouldn’t work .
-Yes, the next bluff .
-I saw his surprise . Now I’m used to it .
-It is worthy of being Alley Leader . He can’t stop bluffing even when it is a monster wave .
-He was born to bluff . Born out of bluffing . Alley Leader chapter 1, verse 1 .
They only teased Hyeonu for a moment . After that, the viewers were shocked by the ugly visuals of the ant army filling the screen .
-Uh, run away . Quickly .
-I feel like I’m going to vomit . It is really disgusting because the ants are over one meter long .
-I was really disgusted just killing a spider previously . . . This is worse because there are so many of them .
The sight of a colony of ants that were over a meter long was disgusting even though it was viewed through the stream . Yet Hyeonu didn’t frown despite actually being at the scene .
‘This or spiders . . . ’
He had already experienced too many things to be hurt by these visuals . Hyeonu boldly drew the Mysterious Sky Sword . Simultaneously, he didn’t forget to say a few words to Tang-E, “Tang-E, don’t hold back on your magic . Pour out as much fire and lightning as you can . ”
Tang-E nodded at Hyeonu’s words and climbed a large tree .
“Why are you climbing up there?” He was surprised by Tang-E’s sudden behavior .
“Ants are dirty . Ugly . I will lose it if they touch my body, Master dude . ”
Tang-E’s answer was unbecoming, but there was no time for Hyeonu to punish him . It was because the green wave was already less than 10 meters away .
“Let’s finish it . Once the items come out, pick them up, Tang-E . ”
***
When the viewers saw the colony of ants in front of Hyeonu, they became worried about him . They thought it was impossible to hunt so many monsters, even if it was Alley Leader .
-Is today the first time he will die?
-No, no . He can run away . Doesn’t Alley Leader’s equipment have the Blink option?
-Yes, use that to open up the distance and flee .
Then they recalled the existence of Blink and stopped worrying . In the worst case scenario, Alley Leader could still run away .
-Then let’s prepare popcorn .
-Prepare Coke .
-I will get butter squid .
-It will be a spectacle today . He is consistently so good .
-I am selling cheese flavored popcorn . 5 gold coins!
Just then, Hyeonu’s sword moved in a neat line from left to right . The blade of pure energy, that was dozens of meters long, literally sliced through the wave . In an instant, the wave stopped moving forward . No, it exploded . The poisonous blood from the wounds of the legion worker ants erupted like a fountain .
-Uhh . . . Too cruel .
-How is it too cruel? Rather, it is cool .
-However, isn’t their defense high, so you need to use attributes to kill them? How did they die in one blow?
-Alley Leader is an exception . In addition, he has the dark attribute . It isn’t the light attribute . It doesn’t mean there is no attribute damage . Rather, it means the additional damage remains the same .
Still, this wasn’t the end . Hyeonu’s sword moved again and again . It danced over and over . As a result, black cracks appeared in the green wave . It was Mysterious Sky Range . There was a ripple in the green wave like a bomb had exploded . After being struck by Mysterious Sky Range, the colony of worker ants no longer looked like a wave .
They just looked like dozens of legion worker ants . The worker ants stopped advancing again and moved their antennae like they were exchanging opinions . Just then, Hyeonu opened his mouth, “I said it earlier, but attributes are important . That said, it isn’t needed in front of overwhelming power . Magician? There is no need for one . Just cut them all with a blade . ”
It wasn’t a high-pitched voice but his usual low voice .
-It would’ve been perfect if he hadn’t said this .
-I felt moved, until this point . . . Then I woke up all of a sudden . Sure enough, it is perfect when he shuts his mouth .
-I admit it . I don’t think anyone can refute it .
-Anyone who refutes it can be considered as Alley Leader himself .
It happened as Hyeonu was grasping the atmosphere of the viewers . There was something that caught all of the viewers’ attention . A golden object descended in the air . It was Tang-E showing up in a splendid manner .
He landed lightly on the ground, raised his front paws, and emitted a bright red light . Then something incredible happened . A blue sun was created around seven or eight meters above Tang-E’s head . With his front paws pointing out at the end, he proudly faced the colony of legion worked ants
The blue sun moved heavily but quickly in the direction where Tang-E’s paw were pointing .
