Chapter 352
Hyeonu raised his eyelids with difficulty and saw a clear sky .
‘What?’
Watching white clouds drift slowly across the sky, Hyeonu blinked several times . He couldn’t remember what had happened before .
‘Did I doze off?’
Hyeonu was searching his memories when he heard a familiar voice .
“Have you woken up now? You are weaker than I thought . I can’t teach it now . . . ” It was Lebron .
He was sitting and drinking . Seeing Lebron, Hyeonu finally remembered why he was lying down . He raised his upper body from the ground and yelled at Lebron, “How could you do this to me? What did I do wrong?! Huh?!!!”
It was unfair . He had been beaten unconscious just because he informed Lebron of the emperor’s decision .
“I’m sorry for that . I’m sorry, okay?” Lebron apologized, waving roughly with a look that didn’t show any remorse at all .
When Hyeonu saw that, he tried to speak, only to shut his mouth in the end . He realized that he would only suffer no matter how much he said . Instead, he decided to get his question answered: “It’s fine . By the way, how much have you learned of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art? You’re a total monster . . . ”
Lebron shook his bottle silently, trying to figure out how much alcohol was left . Then he laughed and took a sip like there was still a lot remaining .
“The deeper the achievement, the more mature it will be . ”
“So how much . . . ?” Hyeonu once again asked as he tried not to let his expression distort at Lebron’s answer .
“I naturally studied to the end . What do you think of me?” Lebron replied like it was natural .
‘Truly a monster . . . ’ Hyeonu truly admired him .
It hadn’t been long since he handed over the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art to Lebron, yet the latter had already learned it to the end .
“Can you show me once, Master?” Hyeonu requested politely .
Lebron got up from his seat with the bottle of alcohol and then raised the bottle back to his mouth .
“These are all things I taught you,” Lebron said and raised his free hand .
This hand wasn’t holding a sword, and the reason for that soon appeared . A black magic power that felt different from Hyeonu’s flowed out of Lebron’s hands . If Hyeonu’s magic power was just black, then Lebron’s one gave off a brilliant feeling . The spreading magic power soon took a certain shape .
It was a sword—the one that Lebron usually used . Lebron swung the sword made of magic power, and a subtle slicing sound rang out . A black line was drawn in the blue sky .
One . . .
Two . . .
Three . . .
The lines continued to increase . As a result, the number of Lebrons gradually rose, and Lebron’s figure was seen all over the training ground . Each of them wasn’t an afterimage but a perfect Lebron .
‘Crazy . . . ’ Hyeonu’s eyes shook . It was an unbelievable sight . Dozens of Lebrons had appeared in the training ground, swinging swords of different lengths on different trajectories . Yet if it were this alone, Hyeonu wouldn’t be surprised .
‘They are cutting one by one . ’
The numerous Lebrons were stabbing their swords at certain points . They aimed so desperately that it gave him goosebumps .
‘The foundation is Mysterious Sky, and Mysterious Sky Steps and Magic Power Control are added on top of it . ’ Hyeonu carefully guessed the principle of this technique .
It was Mysterious Sky Steps that created so many clones . Creating swords of different lengths with magic power was the role of the magic-power-related skills . Then he was brought back to reality due to Mysterious Sky .
‘Can it be stopped?’ Hyeonu shook his head .
He didn’t think it would be the case . It seemed impossible even if the proficiency of the skills went up .
‘It doesn’t feel like it can be stopped . ’
In fact, it felt like the technique could only be stopped with an invincible skill . It seemed hard to hit the numerous Lebrons one by one or to endure their attacks .
“Master, what about the delegation?” Hyeonu asked Lebron, who had finished the demonstration and was drinking alcohol again .
“What can I do? The order has been given, so I have to go,” Lebron replied .
Perhaps it was because once the order had been given, it could no longer be taken back . This was the majesty of the emperor of Yusma . His spoken words must be kept .
“I understand . ” Hyeonu nodded .
Then a message window appeared in front of him .
[Deliver the Message has been cleared . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
[17,389 imperial contributions have been acquired . ]
“Then come to Derek Castle in four days . We will leave then . ” Lebron waved his bottle of alcohol with a look of regret .
“Yes, I understand . Derek Castle in four days . ” Hyeonu could only smile in the end .

Hyeonu barely opened his closed eyes . The desire to sleep filled him, but he couldn’t sleep yet .
‘I haven’t had the opportunity for such quality streaming content in a long time . . . ’
He couldn’t miss it . Hyeonu was a bit obsessive-compulsive and always felt the desire to show good content . It was the burden of his great popularity, which pierced the sky .
‘It isn’t fun for me to just cross the Balder Mountains with Lebron . ’
Of course, it would receive hot interest as streaming content . It was because this was the first piece of information Hyeonu would disclose . Suddenly, Hyeonu’s smartphone started vibrating . He saw the message that appeared on the screen of his smartphone and immediately unlocked it to make a call .
“Hello?”
-Mister Gang, it has been a while . I don’t remember the last time I saw your face .
“I’m sorry, I’m busy preparing to be a pro gamer . I have no intention of going to New York . ”
-It is regretful . Yet you had time to travel to the island with Jin Sijong . . .
Hyeonu was currently calling Jamie Moore, the CEO of Nike Management . The latter had immediately responded the moment he received Hyeonu’s call and was hoping for more contact .
“This is why I contacted you, Jamie . Why don’t we meet in Arena if we can’t meet in reality?”
-Meet in . . . Arena? I understand that you’re very busy right now, but… Jamie stuttered at Hyeonu’s sudden suggestion .
His previous words were just a joke . He knew better than anyone else that Alley Leader was busy . In fact, Alley Leader was busy every day! This was Alley Leader’s current situation .

“I’m not joking . Just show your face on my stream once . In other words . . . appear on my stream . ”
-Of course, I will go . This is Alley Leader’s stream, after all, Jamie responded so quickly that Hyeonu felt embarrassed .
Jamie hadn’t thought about it at all . He had answered yes like it was an unconditional reflex .
“Is it okay to just answer like this? The streaming time isn’t short . Nike Management . . . don’t you have anything to do?” Hyeonu asked once out of politeness .
It was just in case . Jamie answered confidently, -Absolutely . There is no such thing . The management job is done by Kale . I can postpone my personal schedule . Delaying it by one day won’t cause any big problems .
Hyeonu felt sorry for Kale who had such a man as his boss .
‘But he is good at work, responsible, and a kind person . . . ’
Maybe these were the reasons why Kale was working under Jamie . Otherwise, he would’ve quit the company already or gotten fired .
“I understand . Then I’ll see you at Derek Castle this Friday at 6 o’clock . ”
-Yes, I will see you then .

After the surprise call with Hyeonu, Jamie Moore smiled brightly and wandered around his office . He stood by the window and looked outside . Then he sat on a chair and stared at the blank white screen . Later, he suddenly picked up his smartphone and made a phone call to somewhere . There was a brief ringing tone, and a low and deep voice was heard from the smartphone .
-It’s Jin Sijong . Who is this?
“What? Don’t you know? Are you busy?” Jamie joked .
Jin Sijong showed a stiff reaction in response .
-What? Jamie? Why is this narrow-minded person contacting me? Kim Seokjung’s tone immediately rose when it was confirmed that the person on the other end of the line was Jamie Moore .
It was the tone that Hyeonu usually heard .
“Narrow-minded person? Who is the gangster who only knows about money?”
-So why did you call today?

Jamie smiled and showed off to Kim Seokjung, “I’m streaming too . ”
-You’re streaming? Are you letting go of your position as CEO? Do you want to be a streamer? Did you go crazy from working too hard? Kim Seokjung asked in a surprised voice .
As far as he knew, Jamie liked Arena, but he wasn’t particularly talented . He was just another person in a sea of a million people . In addition, his sensitivity was so lacking that he couldn’t control magic power . Yet he was going to become a streamer? It was absurd .
“What are you talking about? I’m not doing it . I’m appearing in a stream . Alley Leader made a request of me . He asked me to appear . Now he has figured out the value of this Jamie Moore . ”
-If this is true then it is the worst . The worst!
“In any case, you know about it now . In addition, tell those idiots . I already feel better thinking of their envious faces! I can work harder today . ”
-I will repeat exactly what you said . . . I recommended you to hang up .
Jamie pressed the button to end the call at Kim Seokjung’s advice . Then he buried himself deep in the chair and imagined himself appearing on Alley Leader’s stream .

“It has been a while, Jamie . By the way . . . Your level is lower than I thought?” Hyeonu was surprised to see Jamie wearing basic clothes .
Jamie’s level was too low .
‘Isn’t this too low? He likes Arena, so I thought he would at least be level 100 . . . ’
Right after that, another thought came to Hyeonu’s mind about how such a low-level player was also going to the East Continent .
‘This is good as well . ’
Jamie didn’t join to fight anyway . He would just make his way through the Balder Mountains among the NPCs .
“It is really unbelievable . I am actually appearing in Alley Leader’s stream!” Jamie looked very excited . “In fact, I actually didn’t sleep well yesterday . I was so excited . This is the first time I’ve been this excited since I joined Nike . ”
Hyeonu looked at Jamie and smiled . Jamie asked Hyeonu with a curious look, “What am I going to do today?”
“Just stay still . The other NPCs and I will take care of everything for you . ”
“Then my role is . . . ?”
“A bus passenger . We will make you feel comfortable during the ride . ” The smile on Hyeonu’s face deepened .
