Chapter 65: 65
Chen felt like he was floating in the sky . The hateful and frightening Alley Leader had revealed his defenseless back to Chen .

‘Hihi! I’ll deal you a finishing blow, Alley Leader!’ Chen had been eager for this moment to come . He had dreamed of it since the day Alley Leader killed him . There was only one thing Chen could see now . “Eat this!”
Alley Leader’s back was empty and unprotected . He stabbed his sword toward it like a bolt of lightning . Chen definitely felt it—the sensation of his sword stabbing flesh . His senses, trained from playing Arena for years, cried out to him that it was a success . It was perfect .
“Kuaack!” Screams erupted .
“Eh?”
The scream came from a familiar voice . It sounded like Wei's voice . Then Chen heard Alley Leader’s voice from behind him, “You stabbed your friend, not me . Stupid bastard . ”
That’s right . Chen’s sword stabbed Wei instead of Hyeonu . Hyeonu had moved his body cleverly at the last moment, and Chen’s sword moved below his armpits . Chen hadn’t noticed because he had been too excited by the thought of dealing Hyeonu a blow and just stabbed deeply . Wei was impaled by Chen’s sword and couldn’t move, allowing Hyeonu to cut Wei’s neck .
“Wei!!” Chen screamed when he saw it .
“Is it now three people?” Hyeonu laughed . Now there were only half the people left—Jiang, Chen, and Tian Hu .
‘What the hell is this guy? Does this make sense?!’ Tian Hu had been in shock since the duel began .
Something blurry appeared around Alley Leader’s longsword . Xiao realized it at the moment of death, and by this point, Wei had died . This wasn’t the skill of a human . The stats difference might be too great, but in terms of level, the difference would only be one or two levels at best . That was a small difference . It wasn’t a difference where those who were optimized for Arena could be torn apart like paper .
“Monster . . . ”
‘Did I touch a monster? Then does that mean I’m going to lose? If I lose here, will I have to delete his character?’
Tian Hu’s thoughts became complicated . They were very different from his thoughts just 10 minutes ago .

‘It can’t happen . This is a scam!’
Finally, Tian Hu said something he shouldn’t have . “This is a bug! A bug!! This can’t be possible for a level-one character!”
At Tian Hu’s cry, everyone stopped what they were doing . Then they laughed .
“What? A bug?” It started with Hyeonu, the person involved .
“Hey, Alley Leader is a bug . ”
“Are you crazy? How can there be a bug in Arena?”
“Kukuk, he’s crazy . The owner of a workshop is truly different . ”
It was the same for the spectators watching their duel .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now that he’s losing, he says it is a bug .
-His personality has come out—the personality of a businessman .
-It is truly a huge personality .
-It is deplorable . He lacks skill and humanity .
It was the same with the viewers of Hyeonu’s live stream . No one listened to Tian Hu . It wasn’t worth it .
There were bugs when virtual reality games had just been developed . However, there hadn’t been a single bug in any game in the last decade . Any malicious bugs had long disappeared due to advances in technology . In other words, Tian Hu’s words just now were bullshit .
“Don’t be noisy . Or is your personality that bad?” Hyeonu placed his longsword against his shoulder . “In the first place, you shouldn’t have touched me . Don’t you know why I’m here? You lost your sponsorship because you lack skills . If you were as good as me in Arena, how could you have lost a good sponsorship? If you know this, you should think about improving your skills . Why did you snipe at another person’s stream?”
Alley Leader detonated the bomb . The reason for this character deletion bet was quickly revealed .
“What? Is that the reason for the PK?”
“I thought he was trash, but he can’t even be recycled . ”

-The sponsor dropped him for Alley Leader .
-Is it Alley Leader’s fault that he can’t play the game? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-He is undoubtedly the owner of a workshop .
-The original cause of this was Tian Hu .
Now everyone knew about the bad relationship between Alley Leader and Tian Hu .
‘It’s over . ’ Hyeonu thought it was time to finish things . This was done perfectly . Tian Hu would never return again . Even if he continued to play Arena, he would only be a regular player . If so, Hyeonu didn’t have to worry about Tian Hu now . By the time Tian Hu recovered, Hyeonu’s rank would be so high that he wouldn’t even need to look at Tian Hu .
“Then let’s end it,” Hyeonu said and moved his body like lightning . Hyeonu swung his longsword like it was an axe . Chen raised his sword and blocked it . However, his reaction was too slow . He didn’t hold his sword well, and his posture was completely unbalanced . The defenseless Chen was crushed by Hyeonu’s longsword . Blood burst out like a fountain in the area where Hyeonu’s longsword passed by .
Hyeonu ran again without stopping . His goal was Jiang, but Jiang had already lost his temper and didn’t even bother to avoid Hyeonu’s strike .
‘Ah . . . ’ Jiang was just staring as Hyeonu approached him . ‘Avoid . . . ’
Jiang regained his spirit, but it was already too late . Hyeonu’s sword had already reached Jiang and sliced through his body . Blood flowed crazily from Jiang’s wounds .
“Jiang!” Tian Hu shouted when he saw Jiang fall .
‘Last one!’ Hyeonu thought . There was only one person left . It was Tian Hu . Hyeonu walked toward Tian Hu at a pace that was neither slow or fast, while Tian Hu aimed his sword at Hyeonu .
Tian Hu was a streamer who made Arena his main content . Furthermore, his ranking was high, crossing the boundary between gold and silver medals . He was a streamer who relied on items and skills . Although he was inferior to Hyeonu, he was still above normal standards . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a gold medal in sight . Not every person with the same items as Tian Hu could gain a gold medal . He naturally had the strength to qualify for a gold medal .
Tian Hu raised his sword and pointed it at Hyeonu’s head, striking quickly . Of course, Hyeonu moved to block the sword . At this moment, the trajectory of Tian Hu’s sword changed . This attack was a deception .
‘Good!’ Tian Hu was delighted to have escaped Hyeonu’s longsword and stabbed him .
Then Tian Hu spoke in an incredulous tone, “Eh? What is this?”
He hadn’t heard any sound . In fact, he couldn’t hear the sound of his weapon hitting anything . Hyeonu wondered out loud, “Has anyone been hit by such low-quality technology? It is the level of an elementary school student . ”
Hearing Hyeonu’s provocation, Tian Hu’s expression changed . His face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with a poisonous gaze .

“What? Low quality? Then take this as well . ” Tian Hu’s sword moved flamboyantly . He wasn’t an Arena streamer for nothing after all .
“You still don’t know? This is a petty trick . ” However, Hyeonu wasn’t pushed, and he met all of Tian Hu’s blows . This was despite his sword being half a blade longer than Tian Hu’s sword . It was common sense that the longer the weapon, the slower it was . This was no different in Arena, a virtual reality game .
Furthermore, Hyeonu’s stats weren’t high enough to offset the difference . Under the level-one rule, he only had 20 points for each stat at most . This was the same with the buffs . In Tian Hu’s case, all his stats were around 14–15 . However, Alley Leader used strange movements to overcome the sword speed difference . They were sometimes long, sometimes short . He freely moved .
“This is why you can’t win a gold medal . You won’t even be able to get a bronze medal in the future . ”
Now it was Hyeonu’s turn . Hyeonu changed his mind about using his sword energy to finish the battle at once . He was going to show it—the difference between him and the others . Indeed, he would show why the winner was him and not them .
Hyeonu’s longsword swung quickly . It was a movement that was nothing special . Naturally, that was blocked . Tian Hu’s sword blocked Hyeonu’s longsword easily . Then Hyeonu’s longsword moved once again . It was a similar trajectory . He didn’t use any magic power . It was blocked once again .
Tian Hu regained his composure and threw a taunt at Hyeonu, “Only this much? Alley Leader isn’t a big deal . ”
Tian Hu spoke like he had forgotten the battle just now . Hyeonu didn’t respond to such provocations . He ignored them thoroughly as he swung his longsword again and again . This time, it was different . Hyeonu’s sword moved like a snake . It charged smoothly and rapidly from side to side . Tian Hu’s sword couldn’t follow it .
“Ugh!”
Hyeonu’s longsword cut at Tian Hu’s chest . It wasn’t a deep wound . The pain was in a limited area, and Tian Hu was still able to move as usual .
“Now, come again . ” Hyeonu’s voice was cold .
Those eyes . . .
Visible behind his mask, Hyeonu’s eyes were extremely cold . At first glance, Hyeonu seemed like an animal, not a human . A predator . . .
These were the eyes of a predator biting its prey .
“Kuah!” Tian Hu screamed and rushed toward Hyeonu . Unlike before, there were no flashy movements . His body just moved with rage . In contrast, Hyeonu was relaxed . He showed smooth movements as he faced Tian Hu’s onslaught . The moment he saw a gap, he shot forward and stabbed Tian Hu in the abdomen .
“Urgh . ” Tian Hu grabbed his abdomen and collapsed .
Hyeonu approached Tian Hu and provoked, “Again, come again . ”
The moment Hyeonu finished speaking, Tian Hu gripped his sword and rushed again . “Die!”
‘You! Alley Leader! I’ll kill you!’ Now he had completely lost his temper .
[Player ‘Tian Hu’ is in a ‘berserk’ state . ]
There seemed to be a fire blazing in Tian Hu’s eyes as he rushed toward Hyeonu .
‘This mind is completely gone . It is just like that guy . ’ Hyeonu was reminded of Park Junu .
He was one of the people who had a bad relationship with Hyeonu . His end had been the same—burning like a berserker . If Tian Hu wasn’t insane with anger, he would be terrified .
“Uwaaah!”
There was no distribution of strength control or finesse on Tian Hu’s movements—only strength . He poured all his energy into everything, burning it all . However, Hyeonu was an iron wall . He silently blocked Tian Hu’s strength . It took less than 30 seconds for Tian Hu’s attacks to weaken .
Hyeonu wielded his sword like he had been waiting for this moment . It was instantaneous . Tian Hu’s head was separated from his body . Now there was only one person, Hyeonu, standing in the stadium . At this moment, screams erupted .
-Wow!!!
-Alley Leader won!!!
[You have won the duel . ]
Hyeonu had won .
