Episode 320. One notch difference (2)
“What? retreat?”
Shinhwa Guild raid chief.
Kim Hyun-seok nervously wrinkles his forehead. Following Gaon, Shinhwa is cementing its position as the deputy guild in Korea. However, from a global perspective, even the top 100 was a frog in a well at a precarious level.
Still, there is such a thing as degree.
“No, Mr. Analyst. I admit that our raids are underrated. Especially compared to Gaon, Shinhwa would look even worse. I admit that too. But don’t you think you’re looking down on this too much?”
Gaon and Shinhwa have cooperated since the reconstruction of Yusra.
Although Gaon was far ahead of Shinhwa as a guild, Shinhwa was also able to help Gaon, who had grown in size through a giant coalition, manage the group as a conglomerate.
It was clear that the exchange was as someone said.
Leaving bad ties, he was thorough in business.
Gaon’s Chief Analyst.
Just looking at the fact that Nam Chul-min is communicating with Shinhwa, it is the same.
That’s why I didn’t understand.
– “I am not ignoring the myth.”
“Then tell me why. I’m sorry I don’t understand. Even so, our average level is 450. Wouldn’t it be good enough to promote here? President Baek will be joining us soon…”
-“That’s not the case, an unexpected incident occurred.”
“yes? A case?”
Kim Hyun-seok calmed his excitement at the urgent voice.
Looking back now, I heard the restless typing sound behind my voice.
Kim Hyun-seok understood the situation only then.
“…Did something happen upstairs?”
Zero Mountains.
As wide and lofty as it is.
Since the update to reality, incidents and accidents have not ceased in the mountains. It is fundamental that the dragon stays at the top. The place where Hoyeol and the shadow mercenary giant had a battle was somewhere in the Zero Mountains.
Kim Hyun-seok licked his lips and continued.
“Wouldn’t it be okay downstairs though? Of course, unnecessary damage should be avoided. Isn’t this the lowlands?”
It was not wrong.
The vastness of the Zero Mountains doesn’t just apply badly. Even if an incident breaks out in the upper part, the probability of affecting the lower part is extremely small.
But this time was an exception.
-“crazy.”
Tarak.
Did the flamboyantly moving fingers stop?
The moment the typing sound that sounded like background music stopped.
Nam Cheol-min’s shouting continued.
– “Chief Hyunseok Kim. It’s not safe either right now. The Zero Mountains are flowing backwards! The high level monsters that live up there are descending into the lowlands invading the area!”
“…?!”
what?
It was a statement that completely denied Arcana’s common sense.
But I couldn’t help but question it.
[A ‘bloodthirsty mountain wolf’ appears in the area.]
“Chief Ki Kim?!”
Bloodthirsty Mountain Wolf…!
Because an unknown monster has appeared.
I don’t know what listeners might think, but it was Kim Hyun-seok who regarded Nam Tae-min as a rival. Jipi keeper 100,000,000,000,000. I have been keenly aware of my own level every day, so I have been constantly watching Nam Tae-min’s battles through video to know the enemy.
That was a monster that even Nam Tae-min of the world had a hard time hunting.
[Bloodthirsty Mountain Range Wolf: Lv.685]
“Damn it!”
– “Chief? Have you already gone down there?”
“…a bloodthirsty mountain wolf.”
Kim Hyun-seok looked back at the history of the Shinhwa Guild.
“…Sheesh.”
Currently, Master Baek Yi-seol has not joined.
If everyone fights for their lives…
I don’t know what that wolf can do.
however.
‘The true value of these guys is group hunting.’
It means that there is a named monster as the head, and it is a mob with a tricky pattern that moves systematically. Even when Gaon defeated them, Nam Tae-min bit and killed the leader, and then defeated the group that had lost their fighting spirit and won the victory.
Kim Hyun-seok gritted his teeth.
‘I am not Nam Tae-min and Shinhwa is not Gaon.’
This is annihilation.
A desperate estimate flashed into my mind.
However, Kim Hyun-seok and Shinhwa forgot one thing.
The fact that it is Gaon’s brain that is with them.
– “Chief. Please tell the wizard of the myth guild and players with agility stat of 400 or higher. Wound him enough to cause the [Bleeding] status ailment on his own.”
“…!”
-“They have a habit of attacking the weak point of the opponent first. If your Agility stat is 400 or higher, you can barely escape from their pursuit. Do you know wizards? Please use your discretion to widen the distance by teleporting as far as your magic power allows.”
I still have a long way to go on this.
Kim Hyun-seok immediately followed Nam Chul-min’s words and gave the order.
The guild members quickly dispersed.
“Whoa.”
Cheol-min Nam, who had been briefed on the situation up to that point, put a sigh of relief.
At this rate, everyone in Shinhwa could safely escape from the mountain wolf.
however.
“Eh?”
The location of the Shinhwa Guild being updated on the monitor was unusual.
Why?
It wasn’t retreating backwards, it was rather advancing in the opposite direction.
“hey. Manager Kim. Can you hear me?”
-“….”
“Hey. Head of Shinhwa Guild Kim Hyeon-seok!”
Sussuk-
seussuk-
The sound of going through the thicket continues.
It wasn’t that communication was cut off or something was wrong.
Nam Chul-min pondered, then clicked——and moved the mouse.
“…it is an emergency, so please understand.”
Gaon and Shinhwa are always a proper cooperative relationship.
There was no cooperation content until monitoring through drones.
Nam Cheol-min muttered as if rationalizing it.
“It’s a situation that even the commander-in-chief would understand.”
But isn’t the situation the situation? Nam Chul-min moved one of Gaon’s drones spread across the Zero Mountains to reveal the location of the Shinhwa Guild. I witnessed it thanks to that quick judgment.
“Is that…?”
Seven Ak’shan demon hunters.
and.
Denggeng—!
“What what?!”
The sight of them attacking the player.
*
Pooh!
Blood spurts everywhere.
Unpleasant stickiness to the skin.
Open your tightly closed eyes.
‘…It’s not my blood.’
Gremory caressed his neck with a trembling hand.
stuck
It’s okay to be fine.
After checking, the player who collapsed on the floor caught my eye.
Gremory laughed well with a trembling voice.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!”
this is the power
Those incompetent humans are demon lords.
Isn’t it better than the demon corps commanders?
“How dare you tell my queen…!”
If it was a shrewd demon, he would have lost his will to fight while his allies were horribly defeated. But look at these stupid adventurers. Aren’t you desperately protecting yourself?
‘It can be done with authority.’
Gremory grasped the situation.
‘If this world is fluctuating with negative emotions…!’
A third world that is neither the Demon World nor the Arcana Continent.
It is natural that the information we know is extremely small because the time we stayed is extremely short. But if you look at one, you can know ten. Negative feelings don’t lie.
“Whoops.”
The corners of Gremory’s mouth go up.
I still couldn’t shake off the fear of my natural enemies.
Gremory found a way out.
“I don’t think that spirited look will last long.”
I never thought the day would come when I would provoke Akshan to his nemesis.
‘I’ll forgive you, bastard.’
The unfamiliar blood flowing through his body entered his heart more and more.
But the cheeky bastards still seemed unwilling to mingle.
that buck
Cheek –
that’s it.
Seven Demon Hunters move at the same time.
A bolt that reloads into a crossbow.
Gremory hid behind the players surrounding him.
It was a grotesque sound because I did not forget to laugh even though I was terrified.
“What does Akshan’s dog know? How human life is treated on this earth! I don’t know what’s wrong with humans dying and killing each other, but the important thing is that you killed such a human!”
It’s what humans value insignificant lives.
This land, the Arcana continent, or the Ceorn continent that has already been swallowed up by the Demon World.
In fact, everything was the same.
“You’ve done something no different from the devil!”
But as I said, this land.
The world of adventurers was full of contradictions.
The non-humans are already claiming to be humans.
– “Supernova? Who is no different from that demon?”
– “Yes, my queen.”
-“It’s a funny world that such garbage is called a hero.”
A demon who can see through human negative emotions.
It was a contradiction that he was able to notice because he was himself.
Of course, this was good news for Gremory.
‘You guys will be covered with all the sins.’
In this world, the situation will quickly spread through strange machines.
The reality is that a human being intoxicated with his authority threw his life at will, but from the point of view of an insignificant human… The corners of Gremory’s mouth go up grotesquely.
“Aren’t you a human hunter, not a demon hunter?”
Yes!
It would seem that those Akshans had committed a slaughter.
Gremory shook his head.
‘I never thought it would benefit me not to avoid battle.’
The things to be gained through this battle were considerable.
Of course, I properly checked the power of authority.
A more important achievement than that.
‘This is an opportunity to deny Akkshan.’
Like the crusade that took place on the Arcana continent in the past.
Drive the resurrected Akkshan back.
I seized the opportunity to trample on that sprout.
Tadadak!
“You must be mad at Foot.”
At that moment, the demon hunters rushed in.
‘He’s so persistent.’
Gremory gritted his teeth.
It was a newly born body.
The fear that was imprinted as a prey still did not go away.
The opposite seemed to be the case.
‘It’s to the point of jingle jingle.’
Even in the situation where they are driven to the cliff,
Akshan doesn’t care and throws a dagger.
After all, they have no blood, no tears, no emotions.
Push-!
The fired crossbow bolt accelerates.
Cheeruk-!
Like holding the leash of a well-trained hound.
Swawaa—!
Pull the silver thread attached to the bolt.
Squeeze—!
The crossbow bolt begins to bend in an unpredictable direction.
Gremory exclaimed urgently.
“Protect me…!”
At first, he knew that he was definitely aiming for himself surrounded by adventurers.
However, Akkshan’s lunatics were beyond imagination.
hooked!
“Ouch?!”
The reason why the crossbow bolts were bizarrely bent was quite simple.
It was just for the adventurers to target the weakness of the armor joints.
“Cheup…?!”
Not content with one adventurer grabbing his neck and collapsing
.
It was to give the bolt to the adventurer right next to him.
hooked!
Fu-wook!
hooked!
“Ouch?!”
“Ugh!”
“omg!”
The adventurers spit out their dying words and collapse.
“…You’re really crazy.”
Gremory was not convinced.
As I said, the current situation is not bad.
Akkshan’s madness made her sick.
“You mean you can kill as many humans as you want to hunt me? As you’ve heard, they’re crazy. Akkshan. Why did the giants of the Arcana Continent tremble against you…!”
Gremory realized again.
Akshans are dangerous.
When you can step on the bud.
It must be pulled out to the root so that it can never raise its head again.
In that sense, it was a good time for him as well.
It’s not celestial for nothing.
While acknowledging Akshan, he did not forget to believe in him.
“But this is not the Arcana Continent.”
If it’s to hunt demons.
This is the way Akkshan does not choose any means.
It means an unacceptable world.
Glance.
Gremory’s gaze turned to the player.
I heard that the tiny machine attached to the armor—the body camera—acts like a demonic eye. He must be spreading the atrocities of the Akkshan lunatics far and wide.
Gremory saw his nemesis right away.
“Just as you did on the Arcana continent, you guys won’t be able to understand me in this land, Akkshan. Do you know why? Because humans are born that way. Everyone has evil inside them.”
“….”
There is no answer after all, uninterestingly.
“it’s okay.”
Then Gremory had no intention of wasting any more time.
Yes, now was the time to break the damn food chain.
Gremory raised the power of the demon king and the giant demon.
“Arise, my soldiers.”
…wriggle.
Then the fallen players flinched.
Gremory smiled contentedly.
‘I am no longer a prey.’
however.
…wriggle.
Gremory was overlooking it.
Akkshan’s Second Iron Law.
『When [Exorcism] is in effect.
The Demon Hunter’s attack.
It only deals damage to demons.]
…Wriggling!
“…Huh!”
The player, who had been mortally wounded and fell to the ground, exhaled heavily.
Then he hangs his own neck, which had been pierced.
There is no wound, no bleeding, no pain.
It seemed that there was only one.
Blinking message.
[The abnormal status ‘Enchantment’ is canceled.]
“?!”
At the same time, Gremory’s pupils shook violently.
I realized it belatedly.
That it wasn’t just fear that he had been holding back from a while ago.
“Ouch…?!”
Crying!
Blood gushed from Gremory’s throat.
…how?
Why are humans ok?
You must have had your throat pierced.
This is absurd.
It makes no sense.
I can’t understand.
Why am I, who has the power of both the devil and the giant?
Why do I have to vomit blood like this?
I can’t admit it…
never…!!
this moment.
Gremory’s hundreds of emotions.
It could be explained in just one word.
‘… I have to run away too!’
It is a relationship that can never be reversed.
