-Tang-E!!
-Since when was he standing there?
-When was he summoned?
-Where was he hiding originally?
The audience’s gazes shifted and focused on Tang-E . However, the players at the scene didn’t turn their attention to Tang-E as they were busy responding to the immediate situation . Tang-E poured out most of his available magic power to create something amazing .
It was a small tornado . He made something that could be called a natural disaster . A strong wind was blowing in a 20-meter radius around Hyeonu . This definitely wasn’t a mere breeze . Inside the large ring of wind, the blue-white crystals were coming together .
“Get out of range!” Somebody yelled .
The players who heard the words reflexively turned their heads to look around . They wanted to find a way to escape, but there was no corner to escape to .
“Help me!”
“Uwahh!”
People shouted as they were swept away by an ice storm . Their bodies were scratched by small transparent crystals, but all they could do was scream pathetically . Some players who saw this scene raised their voices even more: “Go over there! You have to go inside to live!”
There was an endless ice storm behind them . This meant there was only one way out—the center where Alley Leader stood . That serene point was like the eye of a storm, and it was occupied by Alley Leader . Thanks to one magic spell used by Tang-E, pandemonium broke out onto the battlefield . There would be a bloody fight to take the place where Hyeonu stood .
‘Tang-E did it correctly . ’ Hyeonu smiled as he saw that Tang-E’s magic lived up to his expectations . Handing Tang-E the necklace turned out to be a rather rewarding thing . In fact, it was very satisfying .
‘He did better than I thought . ’
Hyeonu had been expecting to see a few magic blows at best or the powerful magic Tang-E had shown a few times before .
‘However, he made a stage like this . ’
His pet had been born with a natural streaming talent . This time, Tang-E had created a gorgeous stage—a stage for himself .
“Come, come . Come if you want to live!” Hyeonu’s voice echoed through the mountain .
***
At almost the same time that Area Proclamation and One Who Yearns dissipated, the ice storm created by Tang-E also disappeared . The place where it occurred was covered with human corpses and blood . More blood soared through the air, and occasionally severed arms flew as well .
The battle entered a brief lull .
Hyeonu placed the bloodstained Mysterious Sky Sword onto his shoulder . “Do you regret it yet? Do you regret provoking me? So why follow and chase after me?”
His words were very blatant . This was a statement that properly trampled on the pride of his opponents . It hurt the pride of those who had nothing to do with the situation, let alone those involved .
-Yes, why bother chasing?
-In a way, pursuing like this is also very sincere .
-Still, it is great devotion to go all the way to the East Continent to kill Alley Leader .
-If they did other things with such devotion, then their arena ranking would be higher .
Nevertheless, the viewers watching Hyeonu’s streaming were different . They jumped on Hyeonu’s words and spoke even more vicious ones .
“I don’t regret it . I will target you again . ” Bi Yoon bit his lip . He seemed to be full of anger, and the fire in his eyes shone strangely . It was a poisonous gaze .
“Yes, keep coming . I’m already ready,” Hyeonu stated .
‘I can’t hate him since he is creating content for me,’ he thought and laughed loudly . His expression couldn’t be seen, but it could be guessed based on his laughter . The corners of his mouth curved up and then down; he was clearly laughing gleefully .
“Time is up . I will finish it now,” Hyeonu said .
He stepped toward Bi Yoon, moving slowly . There were no Mysterious Sky Steps . The conclusion of Hyeonu’s big picture wasn’t designed to be such a thrilling move .
‘The most important thing is the ending . ’
It had been a long time since he threw away his seriousness . No, it was like this from the beginning . The opponents were just a device for Hyeonu’s stream—a device to evoke a dramatic impression . In Hyeonu’s eyes, it was just to this extent, even though the players might seem fierce or dangerous to others .
‘I have to swing my sword . . . ’ Bi Yoon watched as Alley Leader slowly walked toward him, and he tried to give strength to his sword-wielding hand .
However, there was no strength in his hand . This was inside Arena, yet Bi Yoon had the illusion that his palms were sweating, and he failed to lift the sword properly . It wasn’t until Alley Leader neared that someone came out on Bi Yoon’s behalf .
“Wake up, Bi Yoon!” It was Bachu, one of the five masters of Five Stars .
Bachu raised his main weapon, the single-edged sword, and pointed it at Alley Leader . Holding the single-edged sword with both hands, Bachu never took his eyes off Alley Leader . From every step to every breath, he observed everything about Alley Leader, but there was nothing to analyze . Alley Leader was just walking casually with blood dripping from the sword on his shoulders .
‘Why isn’t my body moving?’ Bachu thought as he let Alley Leader pass by . The moment Alley Leader moved past Bachu, the latter’s body collapsed . Bachu’s head was separated from his body . After that, Hyeonu took a few more steps to stand before Bi Yoon . Bi Yoon was still trying to lift his sword, but it fell out of his hand and onto the ground .
“Next time, gather more people okay?” Hyeonu patted the Mysterious Sky Sword against Bi Yoon’s shoulders . Then Hyeonu neatly swung the Mysterious Sky Sword, and Bi Yoon’s head flew through the air .

“I’ll go ahead with Tang-E’s eating broadcast as promised . ”
In front of Hyeonu was a roaring fire . Tang-E had brought the wood and set it alight .
“I have to start cooking,” Hyeonu said and carefully placed some meat on a metal stick . He kept doing it until Tang-E nodded . Then Hyeonu continued, “Before putting it on the fire, sprinkle the spices evenly over the meat, then the barbecue preparations will be over . ”
He pulled out a small glass bottle from a corner of his inventory and shook it . The colored powder fell onto the skewered meat . Hyeonu rubbed the powder over the meat several times . At first glance, it seemed to be evenly covering the meat with spices, but he was actually injecting magic power . It was to use Cooking Skills of the King of Survival . Every time Hyeonu’s hand touched it, the meat started to shine like it was oiled .
‘It’s done . ’
Hyeonu placed the perfectly prepared meat on the roaring fire .
“Now we just need to wait,” he said .
-He is good at cooking .
-Still, I think this cooking . . .
-It definitely looks delicious .
-It seems to be better than last time?
-Definitely better . Previously, there was Tang-E’s situation, so he wasn’t picky about the taste .
Now viewers couldn’t help commenting when they saw Hyeonu’s cooking . It was a sight they had seen several times, but this time was greatly different from before . He had gone from cooking without knowing the basics to giving off the feeling of an amateur .
“There are some people who have a discerning eye . I got a cooking skill, so it is probably a bit more delicious . It actually tastes better,” Hyeonu remarked .
The red meat cooked quickly and soon turned brown . Just by looking at it, one could tell it was crunchy .
“Tang-E, turn off the fire,” Hyeonu spoke to Tang-E, who was on the verge of drooling .
Tang-E gulped and held out his front paw toward the fire . Then the fire froze . Tang-E put his hand on the skewer . It was an act of his wanting to eat the meat a bit faster . However, Hyeonu’s hand slapped Tang-E’s paw, and Tang-E turned toward Hyeonu who stopped him .
“Tang-E, you just have to endure for five minutes . It will be more delicious if you wait . ”
“Bah . . . One piece needs five minutes before I can eat it . Damn Master dude . ” Tang-E scowled . It was the viewers who collapsed when they saw it, not Hyeonu .
Hyeonu shook his head firmly and insisted, “You can’t eat it yet . You have to wait five minutes . Then it’ll be more delicious . ”
-Can’t you give just him one?
-It is hard to give Tang-E a piece of meat?
-It doesn’t matter about resting the meat! What is the point of resting meat at a barbecue?
-If Tang-E wants to eat, then give him raw meat!
Hyeonu ignored the chat window and pulled a small box out of his inventory . Inside the box were white plates, knives, forks, and tongs .
“Take this,” Hyeonu said .
Then he threw a plate and a fork to Tang-E, and the latter received them with a pout . Hyeonu picked up the tongs and pulled off the meat that was stuck on the skewer . He placed it on Tang-E’s plate and sliced it to a suitable size .
“Eat this first . ”
“Thank you, Master . ”
***
After the barbecue with Tang-E ended, Hyeonu finished the stream . Then he immediately tore the return amulet to Linakalu .
‘I need to go as quickly as possible . ’
He had been uncomfortable the entire time he ate the meat . The appearance of the Yeokcheon Group here meant that something might’ve happened to Chen Long . Hyeonu appeared in Linakalu and ran diligently . When he finally arrived at the entrance to Southern Star, he saw a familiar face .
“Hey, newbie . Aren’t you too naughty? You can play, but you are playing too much . ” It was Bakar, and he was insisting on his usual manner of speaking .
Hyeonu approached carefully and whispered in Bakar’s ear, “There is a problem, Bakar . ”
Bakar immediately frowned before relaxing his expression like nothing happened .
“You want to buy food? What good is food? We have to drink . Let’s go to the captain,” he responded casually to words he didn’t hear and led Hyeonu to Chen Long .
“What does that mean? There is a problem?” Bakar murmured with a smile on his face .
Hyeonu explained, “A Yeokcheon Group group member showed up while I was killing the 8th group leader . I think the information leaked because there was another adventurer around him . ”
“What did the Yeokcheon Group member do? Ah . . . ! Well done . Let’s start by reporting to the leader . ” Bakar stopped just as he was asking Hyeonu about the Yeokcheon Group member .
Hyeonu’s presence here meant he had handled the Yeokcheon Group member without much difficulty .
“Leader! Let’s go for a drink!” Bakar screamed extremely loudly .
The effect was certain . Chen Long rubbed his eyes and opened the door .
“Drink? Did the sun rise in the west today? You actually want to drink . . . ” Chen Long was scratching his head when he saw Hyeonu standing behind Bakar . Then Chen Long naturally approached Hyeonu and said, “There are no eyes here, so you don’t have to act anymore . What’s going on?”
Instead of Hyeonu, the answer came from Bakar: “The information was leaked . He said that a Yeokcheon Group member appeared when he was taking care of the 8th group leader . It’s likely that the top ranks already know about you . ”
“A Yeokcheon Group member?” Chen Long murmured after hearing Bakar’s words . Then he let out a burst of wild laughter, “Kuhaha!!”
