_ Volume 5, Episode 22
122. Deciding the King (3)
“Wait! We haven’t agreed yet!”
Seojangsan stood up and shouted. Taesan chuckled and raised a finger.
“Simple. You are not the qualified players the system says you are.”
Changing the king did not happen in the previous world. Several attempts have been made, but none have been successful
.
I thought it was a meaningless provision because not only Easy and Normal hard mode players, but even Taeyeon Lee couldn’t change it. So, Choi Joong-hyeok also used Easy Mode Player as a throwaway word when killing Seo Jang-san.
Only eligible players may request a change of king. And the standard of qualifications in the labyrinth was very high.
A person who not only cleared the trials of the gods, but also broke through the trials that were strengthened by liking them.
So, let alone hard mode players, neither Lee Tae-yeon nor Kang Jun-hyeok were qualified. Although they passed the test of God, it was not to the level that God liked.
There was only Taesan.
Taesan clapped her hands.
“ruler. Now you can change the king. Does that make the story simpler?”
Kang Tae-san looked at Jang-san with amusing eyes.
Seojangsan, who had goosebumps at the moment, rose violently.
At the same time, Taesan’s body moved. At the same time as the chair broke, Taesan arrived in front of Seojangsan.
“you!”
Seo Jang-san freaks out and pulls out his weapon, but Tae-san strikes him lightly and grabs him by the nape of his neck.
“Keck! Keck!”
just hit the wall Nearby hard mode players hurriedly raise their weapons and try to attack Mount Tai.
[You triggered a backlash.]
An intangible force struck them.
“Ouch!”
“Oops!”
Those who rushed to them rolled on the ground like mosquitoes hit by a fly swatter and landed on the wall.
In the meeting room, which was instantly devastated, Taesan spoke leisurely.
“I could have ended it like this, but… isn’t that boring?”
“Profit!”
Seojangsan lowered his weapon.
Taesan grabbed it and threw it away.
Cuda party!
“Keugh!”
In the midst of the ruin, Taesan alone stood firm.
“Then I will give you a chance. Give it a try.”
“Have a lot.”
Taishan whistled in the city hall park.
“Is this all?”
“okay. This is all that follows me.”
Seo Jang-san said confidently.
There were hundreds of players behind him.
And all of them were hardmode players.
“All of you…
Kim Hwi-yeon bit her lip. As expected, all of Yongin’s hard mode players were following Seojangsan’s wishes. Whether
actively or implicitly, it meant sympathizing with Seojangsan’s will.
“You will regret giving it a chance.”
Tae-san said to Seo Jang-san. Bring everything you have, all your strength. Try struggling hard.
Seo Jang-san followed his words. Standing in front of Mount Tai, his expression brightened. If this amount of numbers gathered, no matter how strong Taishan was, the odds were good enough.
“Then let’s start right away. Do you remember the conditions?”
“A non-lethal many-on-one duel with zero defense. Know.”
Almost all players in Yongin were watching their fight, and most of them expected Taesan’s defeat.
Hard mode players were really strong. It was believed that no individual, no matter how strong, could defeat a hundred.
“hop!”
The first to move was a hard mode player.
He raised his shield and rushed at Taishan.
‘I said the opponent’s attack power was 50!’
When Taesan attacked a hard mode player in Yongin, he did 51 damage. Seo Jang-san remembered that and told everyone.
The damage was obviously high, but it wasn’t unbearable. First of all, he thought of blocking the attack and linking it in turn.
“I’m sorry to break your hopes, but I gave you a chance for no other reason.”
Rather, it was to trample.
Taesan
raised his sword towards the approaching shield.
[You cast plus.]
Kwazik.
The opponent’s body flew through the sky like a baseball hit by a bat.
[453 damage to Minjoong Kim.]
[Minjoong Kim is incapacitated.]
“It flies far away.”
Looking at the man who had fallen on the edge of the city hall site, Taesan waved his sword in satisfaction.
Hard mode players who were trying to move hesitated.
“…uh?”
“If you don’t come, I will go.”
Taesan stamped his feet. He lunged at the nearest man. The man who had been absent-mindedly raised his sword in amazement.
At the man who was trying to block him with his sword, Tae San calmly slashed his sword down.
Kwajik.
The sword was crushed and the man fell to the ground. Sand dust spread and the impaled man remained motionless as if he had passed out.
[443 damage to Kim Gu-han.]
[Kim Gu-han was incapacitated.]
It was a blow. Only then did Seo Jang-san, who came to his senses, shout as if crying.
“What is that damage! Do not be ridiculous!”
Seo Jang-san remembered that when Tae-san attacked them, the damage was 51.
Tae-san answered Seo Jang-san’s cry.
“I had a bit of trouble controlling it.”
He didn’t even use a sword, but with a gauntlet, he almost lost his strength and
attacked very slowly.
“Ahhh.”
Seo Jang-san realized that fact belatedly.
Without any doubt, he believed that the damage at that time was Taishan’s power. It was because the damage was incomparable to those who had a very high 51 degree. It was hard to imagine that that was the only thing without power.
So he believed he had a chance. If it was that much damage, they could withstand a few units, and if the defense was 0, if the attack succeeded somehow,
the damage would be entered.
However, the power that Taesan showed now was the power to shatter that precondition.
“Are you done cleaning up?”
Taesan moved. He slapped the scruff of the player who was bruising next to him. With a gong sound, the player was slammed into the building.
And swung the sword to the other side. The player holding the spear freaked out and tried to block it, but it flew away along with the spear.
Four fell in an instant.
“Do not be ridiculous!”
Only then did Seo Jang-san, who came to his senses, howl.
“I think we should be playing hard mode! Those who risked their lives to become stronger!”
Confidence and self-esteem are words that contain everything that supports him.
“So what?”
Taesan indifferently trampled on his cry.
Seojangsan gnashed his teeth.
“We are hardmode players.”
You can’t be so helpless. they are strong It is impossible to lose a hundred times.
“Everybody wake up!”
Hard mode players barely stand up at his fierce cry. He glared at Mount Tai with eyes full of struggle
.
‘No matter how strong it is!’
They are also one of the few former players who risked their lives to descend the labyrinth.
They come to their senses and begin to move. It presses Taishan with active movements.
“Suck!”
A man holding a two-handed shield lunged at it with a thud.
[Dae-In Park activates the Inspector.]
Inspector. It’s a skill that
reduces the percentage of damage taken,
and it’s a lower skill than Hardiness, but it was quite usable.
Taesan lowered his sword.
A man with a two-handed shield was pinned to the ground.
[394 damage to Daein Park.]
“I held on!”
The man pinned to the ground exclaimed for joy. It was close, but he survived.
“What are you holding on to?”
Taesan kicked it heartily. Dae-in Park was incapacitated with the damage that reached 100.
“…don’t think that everyone gets hit!”
Seo Jang-san, who was watching the battle, shouted.
Park Dae-in had the highest physical strength among them.
The fact that he only lasted two times despite using the light guard meant that they were unconditionally one-hit.
Taesan moved slowly. They shattered those who stood in their way with one blow and cleared them out one by one.
“Haaaap!”
With a great spirit, a man with long hair thrust out a spear.
Taesan roughly cut it off and tried to counterattack.
“I got caught!”
[Lee Se-han activated Shedding.]
Bewitched. It is a skill that only a few hard mode players have, and Lee Se-han was one of them.
Lee Se-han used this to win countless battles. He confidently charged towards the Taishan Sword.
Taesan’s sword stopped.
He dodged the spear and flicked Lee Sehan’s forehead with his fingers. That’s how I removed the spell and swung the sword.
Kwajik.
[Lee Se-han is incapacitated.]
“Uh…
Lee Se-han sat down.
It was like flowing water. In the eyes of those who were watching from a distance, Lee Se-han seemed to be running towards him as if he was committing suicide.
Taesan’s sword moved greatly. All those who rushed at the same time were crushed and
crushed and flew away.
Taishan did not stop.
I headed towards the man who was fumbling through the inventory. Seeing Taesan standing in front of him, the man took out something and threw it with a white face.
Fain!
The purple powder exploded and spread. The man shouted with a brightened face.
“it’s okay! Attack everyone!”
What he threw was the powder of deception. It was an item that distracted monsters with intelligence.
It was a whopping 2000 gold, so the man was barely able to save his entire fortune.
[Attempting Confusion on Kang Tae-san…]
[No judgment required!]
“What are you doing that hurts your eyes?”
Taesan brushed off the powder with an annoyed face.
“Huh huh?”
The sword pierced the bewildered man’s chest.
After that, a one-sided fight ensued
.
“Ah ah…
Jangsan Seo couldn’t believe the reality in front of him.
Hard mode players are those who went down the labyrinth with a 1% survival rate. Each of them had at least one hidden number. All those who fell now were only those with talent and strength that even he could not easily overcome.
But all of them were falling in one blow.
“It’s half now.”
When Taesan said that, only annoyance
appeared on his face.
It looked like an adult dealing with a child’s complaint.
And the child was them.
“A strong, great, great hardmode player. How is it different from the easy mode players you ignore’?”
does not exist. Easy or hard was the same for him. No matter how many people gathered, it had no effect on him.
Kwajik.
Again, one hardmode player is knocked out.
Their expressions, which fought with determination, gradually darkened.
And those who watched were amazed.
The people who came from Anyang were surprised even though they knew to some extent, so the surprise of the people of Yongin, who did not know at all, cannot be expressed in words.
Hardmode players were the ones who could easily deal with monsters they couldn’t handle and couldn’t defeat even if their backs charged them.
That’s why they followed without a word even in the face of persecution and violence.
To them, hardmode players were sort of rulers.
But hundreds of such people were falling helplessly just like them.
It was like a fantasy.
“Heh…
“This is true.”
Lee Tae-yeon was dazed in admiration. Kang Jun-hyeok was possessed with an empty smile.
He wasn’t weak either. I was confident of winning 1:1 against hard mode players.
I thought there was a win-win even with 1:2.
But compared to Taesan, it was so shabby.
Literally, even if you fight all of humanity, you will have a chance to win. I knew it was strong, but I never imagined it would be at this level.
‘…Can I reach it someday?’
He and Taesan are players in the same mode. It wouldn’t be impossible.
But it was far-fetched. It wasn’t even drawn properly in my imagination.
The battle continued even while
everyone had various thoughts .
And the end has come.
Standing among the incapacitated, Taishan didn’t break a single sweat. His breath didn’t become rough, and he didn’t even see the slightest scratch.
It was literally overwhelming.
“Are you the last one?”
Tae-san said to Seo Jang-san, who stared blankly at him.
Level up with skill
