Episode 276. Those who are not merciful (2)
Somewhere in the vast Zero Mountains.
What is going on is not a battle.
It is a one-sided slaughter.
Player versus Player (PVP).
Both before and after the cataclysm.
The results of PVP did not depend on absolute levels.
The most important thing in interpersonal warfare is experience.
the biggest difference.
That players are different from monsters.
Although there is a psychology, there is no pattern.
To gain the upper hand, you must read the psychology of your opponent.
The guild members of Unification of the World had considerable experience in interpersonal warfare. From the moment I set foot until now. That was what it meant to survive as a member of the unified guild.
but.
“Clumsy!”
That is the standard for real players.
The opponent is the shadow mercenaries.
Even if he is a supernova, a player who commits evil deeds, he is not even a grain of sand in the desert compared to the notoriety of the shadow mercenaries and his experience in interpersonal warfare.
3-Seok Henderson laughed heartily.
“When you kill people on the battlefield. You have to be thorough beyond certainty. If you clumsily stab your chest, will your tough life end? I have to completely turn my head like this!”
Shoo!
Let’s swing the hammer.
thick!
“Ouch!”
My head spins with a scream.
The neck was broken and turned 180 degrees.
It was a power difference that was more than ten times that of the head.
‘…Dangerous.’
Instinctively, my arms and legs trembled.
Even so, Eugeo did not back down.
Thoughts echoing in my head.
‘If I step back…!’
The lord is in danger.
Vice-captain Wolf spoke to Eugeo.
“Awesome. At this point, I’ll come to my senses.”
…What are they talking about all of a sudden?
Unlike Eugeo, who stood sharp, Wolf moved leisurely.
You did well to take care of the crossbow beforehand.
I never thought I’d be covered in blood like this.
He muttered and looked at Eugeo again.
“Even if you are an adventurer, a monarch is a monarch.”
The level of request of the Shadow Mercenary Corps is beyond the imagination of a criminal. In recent years, it has been rare, but in the past, assassination requests for those who had the monarch’s vessel did not cease.
“I’m quite an expert on that request.”
Each time, Wolf voluntarily carried out the request.
The reason was simple.
Because the monarch’s physical abilities weren’t exceptional.
They were the ones who would collapse if you shook and shot them from a distance.
however.
“Your monarch is quite demanding.”
Did you say Ryuo Junchun?
The one and only Lord of Adventurers was something different.
Could it be because he rolled on the other side of the Arcana Continent?
The reason seemed clear to Wolf.
“It seems that the overlord made good use of his status as an adventurer. Adventurers before the cataclysm had the 『Blessing of Resurrection』, which allowed them to come back to life even after dying. It means that as a monarch, there was nothing to be trampled on in the bud.”
“…!”
Eugeo widened his eyes.
It was hot for a moment, but it wasn’t wrong.
In fact, the Lord did not stand out unlike other rankers when Arcana was just a game. But that’s just the past.
Right now…
“Of course, even after the Cataclysm, we are still taking advantage of the adventurer’s advantage. I never thought I would actively use the weapons of this world. Efficient and cool. Other adventurers should also learn this?”
Wolf looked at his shoulders as he said that.
There was a lot of bleeding in the forearm of the gunshot wound.
At most, I expected the speed of a magic arrow.
It was because the bullet was much faster than that.
At least I learned cheaply.
“It’s fucking stingy!”
Rockkid’s body was full of gunshot wounds.
Eugeo couldn’t contain his astonishment.
Even after becoming a cannon fodder like that, he’s still alive…?
“But most of all, it is thorough.”
“…?”
“To the extent that even his own subordinates were deceived.”
Back!
Eugeo gripped his sword.
Any level of self-respecting provocation can be overcome.
However, slandering the lord is completely unacceptable.
Even if his own life was cut off…
When his body flinched in anger, his voice continued.
“Is loyalty right now your true feelings?”
“What is that…!”
“How many people do you think this is?”
“…?”
“How many five stars do you think we defeated?”
pigs and wolves.
Aren’t you two out of five?
It was when Eugeo had such thoughts.
“Except for that side of the rabbit mask, it’s ten.”
“…what?”
“I don’t know how many more there are, but I’ve already crossed five.”
For a moment, Eugeo remembered the impersonators.
Stupid stuff.
I can’t tell the difference between real and fake…!
“Well. Who is real and who is fake.”
“…?”
“Does it even exist in the first place?”
Wolf shrugged.
“Well, only your lord knows that.”
Took.
The masks were thrown out of Wolf’s hands at the moment.
At first glance, there are far more than five.
‘…no way.’
Suspicion sprouted in Eugeo’s mind.
I wanted to refute, but I couldn’t.
The information that Eugeo knows about Five Stars…
is that he is a Five Star.
Because that was all.
‘Everything he said…?’
Eugeo looked back at his master’s actions.
Then the suspicion grew even more.
It was the moment when a fine crack occurred in loyalty.
Tingling—
a violent migraine ran through his brain.
[Resist the status abnormal ‘brainwashing’.]
“…!”
At the same time as the unique skill effect of class [Monarch] disappeared.
Eugeo’s lord.
No, his loyalty to Liuo Junchun disappeared like a bubble.
‘Which gap is it?’
Eugeo was confused.
Since when has my voluntary loyalty been replaced by status ailments? No, in the first place, did I have any loyalty towards Ryuo Junchun…?
Clap!
At that moment, the sound of the crossbow reloading was heard again.
Now that the status ailment has disappeared.
The senses of the whole body sounded a warning.
I will die at this rate.
Whoop!
Eugeo threw down the fucking rabbit mask and fell to his knees.
“Please save me!”
Even if you are servile, saving your life is the priority.
However, Eugeo was making a huge mistake.
who the opponent is.
The thing that came back to earnest begging.
A voice full of joy.
“Hot hot. That’s a line I haven’t heard in a while.”
Henderson, his face covered in blood, laughed merrily.
Tuk-tuk–
Rockkid grumbled, twisting his muscles to pull out the bullets stuck in his body.
“It’s fucking boring begging, damn it.”
“….”
Even the agitation is not visible in the insipid tone.
Dark shadow mercenaries from the Arcana continent.
To be shaken by common begging for life.
Because the chaos they went through was dirty and ugly.
Wolf hadn’t forgotten that.
‘I don’t know what the captain thought.’
What was Kitsch thinking?
Wolf doesn’t know.
When you’re doing a request and when you’re not. That is why the gap between kitsch when holding a dagger and kitsch when drunk at the Golden Calf Tavern was… It was because even he, who had been watching her for a long time, felt unfamiliar.
But what is certain is that he didn’t want kitsch.
Even if you get your hands dirty.
It is said that he did not want blood on the hands of the members.
‘That’s why he did this.’
That he would shoulder all the mistakes of the Shadow Mercenaries by himself.
leaving behind nonsense.
will disappear
Of course, Wolf had no intention of following the leader’s order.
If you don’t want to protest, take the position of leader.
You shouldn’t have passed the 『Stigma of the Shadow God』.
furthermore.
‘Like the leader, I don’t think we deserve that either.’
Wolf laughed.
‘That’s why I refused your help.’
adventurer’s world.
In a way, they were strangers.
Still, I was able to see, hear, feel, and feel it.
Hoyeol Lee’s influence in this world.
So, to find kitsch.
Although he knew that Ho-yeol needed help, he refused.
‘It won’t do you any good to get involved with us.’
If you think about it, it’s a strange thing.
Why did Ho-yeol embrace the shadow mercenaries?
someone will ask
Ho-yeol and the shadow mercenaries have a simple employment relationship.
Wasn’t it just exchanging with each other?
Well, I know one and don’t know the other.
‘To help you.’
Ho-yeol does not need help from others.
This is true even when viewed as a group rather than as an individual.
Even so, the Empire’s Lion Heart Knights move the Mage Tower from behind. Not to mention the absolute support of the adventurers, recently the dragons in the legends have been screaming out loud.
Wolf was sure.
‘It must have been just your way of caring.’
be considerate
It was a treat that had been forgotten for a while.
So Wolf decided.
As much as the shadow mercenaries owe you grace.
From now on, more thoroughly.
I will draw a line with you
Eugeo hurriedly shouted at Wolf, who had made up his mind.
“Tell me what you want! Are you looking for insider information on Unification? Then use me! I am no longer Liuojunchun’s puppet…!”
“what. Did your mind come back? plaguy.”
“Hee hee hee!”
the one from which the voice was heard.
When I turned my head back, there was a 9-seok deshev who was constantly yawning.
Between each of those fingers was an iron needle.
“What should I do with the vice-captain?”
The iron needle flickers as if waiting for a command.
“well.”
The purpose was a magical tool called the [connector] that connects this world and the Arcana continent. The reason they infiltrated the Unification of the World was simply because the news that they had discovered three generations of connectors spread throughout the world.
“You can’t figure it out by killing just a few people.”
Unless it’s probably annihilating the unification of the world.
It will be difficult to find the connector’s whereabouts.
“Because their monarch is no ordinary bet.”
“There’s no blood or tears when you see Heung’s subordinate stabbed in the back.”
“Lockkid, is that the same for our captain?”
“under! If blood and tears remain for the leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps, that will give you goosebumps in its own way! Where in the world is a crazy person like that?”
“I must convey that to the captain.”
“…Kuhmm, that was a slip of the tongue.”
Eugeo flinched at the conversation between Wolf and Lockkid.
‘…Maybe I can live.’
Because I felt like I had a use for myself.
Damn Ryu Junchun.
It was because he was not an ordinary bet.
In a fleeting moment, Eugeo quickly shook his head.
‘Where should I stick to?’
I realized after seeing the status abnormality message.
Liuo Junchun was, and will always be, an unreliable being.
Eugeo looked at the shadow mercenaries.
‘…It’s only right to cooperate now.’
Even if it is said that he is an enemy who puts a sword on his subordinates.
As of now, there was no way.
Eugeo swallowed dry saliva, and Wolf continued.
“I can’t help it. Let’s go according to plan.”
at the same time as the words fall.
hooked!
Deshev’s iron stab pierced Eugeo’s blood.
This is DeCheve’s method, which is perfectly suited to the plan.
It killed the target instantly, but left no trauma.
yet.
that buck
Six-seok Isabelle Marle, who was watching the situation, moved.
Eugeo, who had collapsed as she discharged her mana, stood up again.
Shuk–
Wolf finally took off his crow mask and said.
“It must not be easy to hide your true feelings in front of a ruler of that level, Liuo Junchun. There’s a good chance it’ll be eroded by the monarch’s powers again before it gives us insider information.”
However, the inside of a corpse does not exist.
Necromancer.
The undead revived by Isabelle Marle’s ability would be much more valuable. If there is only one problem… it must be the empty focus that can be said to be the characteristic of the undead.
7 Seok Alkari laughed.
“But as you can see, the monarch’s petty ulterior motive made his subordinates wear masks themselves! You never would have thought that this masque would return as an arrow to you!”
That was the reason why he was evaluated as a young monarch.
Junchun Ryu.
Because he had forgotten the most important fact as a monarch.
“How can you not know that the eye of the typhoon is the safest?”
Against him.
“The passage of Ho-yeol is the exact opposite.”
Ho-yeol is beyond the eye of the typhoon.
I was pushing myself to the extreme limit.
Is it that he possesses the qualities of a monarch in addition to his vast talent?
It was a thought-provoking move.
Thanks to Ho-yeol, of course, his comfort.
Because I was also protecting the two worlds of reality and the Arcana continent.
Alkari nodded gently.
“So, the title dragonlord is by no means an exaggeration.”
*
Have you always said that it is beyond your imagination?
That’s really great, Grandfel.
How can you praise yourself without changing faces once…?
I watched my press conference playing on the screen.
-“Dark Dark Dragon. He is also just a ‘part’ of me.”
Why sometimes just by listening to your own recorded voice.
It’s human beings that often give me goosebumps…
Silver hair fluttering in the screen.
A jacket over the shoulder.
And even the most shameless brazen skin.
It’s so painful to watch it.
‘…This is not the time.’
To forget this shame.
You have to move your body as quickly as possible.
It’s better to have a hard body than a hard mind.
I was about to activate the portal directly to the Zero Mountains, but hesitated.
regardless of will.
A gaze that does not leave the interview screen.
“No matter how urgent it is.”
A teacup tilted leisurely.
“The quest for strangeness cannot be neglected either.”
so.
Are you going to stop watching this terrible interview?!
Seriously, I don’t have the slightest mercy, Grand Fel…!
