Chapter 60: 60
Hyeonu’s plan was simple . He would level up in the Hejin Mountains as quickly as possible . Additionally, he would kill any of Tian Hu’s guild members that he saw . It didn’t matter if it was a PK, duel, or driving monsters to kill them . He would use any means and methods . With this determined mindset, Hyeonu was hunting in the Hejin Mountains when he saw a group of players in the distance .

‘I think this is the first time I’ve seen that mark?’
This was the first time Hyeonu had seen the guild mark on their chests . He had never seen the guild mark despite having been in the Hejin Mountains for a few days . Neither had he seen it in the information he gained from the communities .
“How many rare items did we acquire? Eight? We need seven more . . . ”
‘Collect rare items? Are they from a workshop?’ Hyeonu thought .
“Why are they suddenly lowering their voices? How irritating . ” He hid in order to hear a bit more of their conversation .
“This time, the starters in the advance party were all killed in a PK . No one spoke about it, but it seems they touched a ranker . I think they’re aiming for revenge, so they withdrew from the work and are focused on leveling up . ”
‘I’m right . It’s those workshop guys . ’ Hyeonu quickly left when he saw that they were from Tian Hu’s workshop . He headed to a certain distance away before walking toward them in an obvious manner .
‘Please walk over . Please . ’
As if noticing Hyeonu’s thoughts, the players from the workshop rushed toward Hyeonu .
“Hey! Don’t you have any pride? You are able to be in these mountains yet you’re copying others . ” Wang Feng, Xu Jun, and four party members blocked Hyeonu’s way .
‘Right, that’s right . I need you to pick a fight . ’ Hyeonu endured the desire to laugh and pretended like he didn’t know anything . In any case, his face was covered with a mask, so they had no way of knowing what he looked like .
“What’s going on? Why block the road? Additionally, what’s wrong with my outfit?”
Wang Feng yelled at Hyeonu’s question, “Aren’t you cosplaying as Alley Leader? Eh?”
Hyeonu had a good idea because of this—an Alley Leader cosplay .
‘Thank you, you jerk . ’
“Does it matter if I wear a mask?” Hyeonu pretended to know nothing and simply acted as an Alley Leader cosplayer .
“Of course . I don’t like that mask . Do you know how many times I’ve seen it today?”
“Then would you like to duel? We will bet our characters . ”
Once Hyeonu finished speaking, the same thought crossed the minds of those in Wang Feng’s group . ‘Doesn’t this jerk seem fully immersed?’
Wang Feng thought that things had worked out well . ‘This is just cosplay, but isn’t he completely serious?’
“Hey, you think you are Alley Leader? Then you should do a team battle like Alley Leader . Isn’t that right?” Wang Feng said and asked his colleagues for consent .
They answered with one voice, “Of course . This is the only way to get much closer to Alley Leader . ”
“Did you hear? If you want to fight, make it a team battle, just like Alley Leader . ”
‘Kukukuk . ’ Hyeonu was filled with laughter at Wang Feng’s words . Hyeonu had never been so grateful for the presence of his mask until this moment . He was laughing to the point of tears and barely managed to answer, “Yes, let’s go with a team battle . ”
Hearing Hyeonu’s answer, Wang Feng smiled . ‘Phew, I thought it was too much . I can take at least two days off if I kill him . ’
Wang Feng had been anxious because Hyeonu had hesitated for a long time over the team battle . Now that Hyeonu accepted the team battle, Wang Feng smiled without hiding his joy . However, Wang Feng couldn’t see that Hyeonu was actually smiling brightly .

“Then I’ll apply for the duel . ”
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has applied for a duel . ]
[Would you like to accept?]
“Of course . ”
[Yes . ]
Wang Feng accepted Hyeonu’s duel and turned to blink at Xu Jun . ‘Huhu . Brother, this will allow us to take at least two days off . ’
‘Well done Wang Feng . We’ll meet later today . ’ Xu Jun also blinked back at Wang Feng .
The two men had known each other for many years and could already read the expression in the other person’s eyes .
‘You’re playing well . ’
In Hyeonu’s eyes, they were already pieces of gold—gold pieces that would be used to pay off his family’s debt . Hyeonu moved his hands to set the rules .
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has set the rules . ]
[The rules set are ‘winner-takes-all’, ‘delete character’, and ‘team battle’ . ]
[Would you like to accept?]
“Of course . I accept,” Wang Feng decided coolly .
[Yes . ]
His heart wanted to start the duel right now . He wanted to meet Xu Jun and have a drink after the victory .

“Six people,” Wang Feng called out the number of party members, including himself . It was good for everyone to enjoy ‘hunting . ’
‘Please struggle . ’

A 20-meter-wide semicircular dome was created around Hyeonu and Wang Feng’s party . It was a temporary duel .
[The duel will start shortly . ]
[5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . ]
The numbers decreased, and a smile appeared on everyone’s face . The phrase ‘same bed, different dreams’ couldn’t be more appropriate .
‘We can go on holiday when we kill this guy . ’ This was the idea of Wang Feng and his group .
‘It will be a real pain for Tian Hu with six people gone . ’ This was Hyeonu’s idea .
Soon, the duel began .
[The duel has started . ]
In Tian Hu’s guild, Lao Yu—one of the elite experts—raised his sword with a light heart . “Shall I play with him for five minutes before killing him?”
“Yes, take care of it,” Wang Feng replied to Lao Yu’s words .
Lao Yu felt at ease as he ran toward his opponent . ‘Let’s relieve some stress . ’
He had this relaxed heart for only three seconds . Then he collided with the sword energy that came from the weapon of Alley Leader’s cosplayer and flew away without maintaining his center of balance . Lao Yu flew helplessly like he had collided with a giant boss monster . He flew out, collided with the transparent dome, and lost consciousness .

At this moment, Hyeonu disappeared . Then he reappeared right in front of the unconscious Lao Yu . This was Blink, the built-in skill of the new Great Gorge Wind set . Hyeonu thrust his sword into Lao Yu’s neck .
‘This is the first one . ’
Wang Feng went out of his mind . He raised his hands like he couldn’t believe reality, rubbed his eyes, and blinked . Reality didn’t change . Lao Yu had been brutally blown away and killed . It had been done with only one attack . At this moment, a thought popped into Wang Feng’s mind, ‘Did we touch the wrong person?’
Wang Feng shook his head . It was obvious that Lao Yu had been negligent or else he wouldn’t be so powerless . No, he must’ve been careless . Otherwise, this couldn’t happen . Wang Feng tried to ignore the anxiety that was burning in his chest .
“Everyone gather and act simultaneously . Use the buffs well . He doesn’t have a healer, and he’s alone . Think of it as a raid,” Xu Jun encouraged the party members .
Some things had been twisted, but this much should be taken into account . They had been too comfortable in the beginning . It was a mistake to think that a person wandering alone in this place wouldn’t have some strength .
“Receive the buffs and return to the front line . ”
There was just one thing they were mistaken about . Hyeonu had a healer . Moreover, he was a very good healer .
Hyeonu didn’t attack them when they gathered and talked . Why?
‘I should summon Tang-E just in case . ’
It was to summon Tang-E in order to cope with unknown variables .
“Tang-E . ”
Before Hyeonu finished speaking, the magic circle opened, and Tang-E showed up . Tang-E was noticeably furrier now compared to a few days ago .
“Hey, Master dude . Are you fighting again? Humans are no good . You fight and sleep all day . . . Yes . What do you need me to do today?” Tang-E scolded Hyeonu while showing off his presence from the moment he appeared .
Hyeonu was used to it and casually ordered buffs from Tang-E, “Place buffs on me and then sit on the rocks over there like a doll . Got it?”
“I’m like a doll? Hehe . This body does have that side . ” Tang-E misunderstood Hyeonu’s words and laughed alone . He soon buffed Hyeonu and walked toward the rock with a smile .

[Health will continue to recover . ]
“This is enough . ” Hyeonu felt the power filling his body as his opponents ran toward him .
Wang Feng learned from Hyeonu .
‘Even if he takes potions, he will reach his limit soon . Then we will win . ’
It was natural . The difference between the presence of a healer and the absence of one was excruciating . However, Hyeonu had a healer they didn’t know about . Wang Feng wielded his sword, stabbing at Hyeonu’s shoulder . This was Wang Feng’s mistake . All he stabbed was air . The only thing he saw was Hyeonu’s afterimage .
“Kuack!” Wang Feng’s back was stabbed by a dagger . Hyeonu had been watching Wang Feng’s sword, and he then used Blink in the final moments to move behind Wang Feng . He stabbed the dagger at the place where the heart was believed to be and scraped it to the right .
“Now, who’s next?” Hyeonu shouted at the remaining four . It had been a long time since the dagger was placed into his inventory . Hyeonu was holding the longsword that could be called Alley Leader’s trademark .
“T-That!!”
“The Dwarf’s Sword . . . ”
They finally realized it . This person wasn’t a cosplayer . He was actually Alley Leader .
“Ah . . . ” A sigh emerged from Xu Jun’s mouth, but the water had already been spilled . They couldn’t gather it back up anymore .
Xu Jun fell into despair .
‘There is no need to hide my identity . ’
Hyeonu revised his plan . Originally, he would attack indiscriminately and kill the members of Tian Hu’s guild . Now a story was created thanks to them .
‘Good, good . ’
Hyeonu laughed at the situation that was better than expected . He had a justification for himself . Wang Feng’s group attacked him first . They were also a workshop group . He was convinced that if these two things were combined, he could create a bigger incident than what happened with the Black Skull Guild .
Hyeonu was convinced that this video would take his name to the next level .
“Come, come!!”
Hyeonu held the longsword on his shoulder and waved his other hand .
