Part 2, Episode 206.
It was a spectacular sight.
It was just as good as the previous game where Dohyeon performed.
… … No, honestly speaking, it feels even more overwhelming than that.
“I-I can’t believe it! To subdue all the participants by yourself! Is this the Execution Guild… no, the power of the greatest star player, the Annihilator?!”
And rightly so, Myeolsal, who single-handedly subdued dozens of users participating in the match.
It wasn’t just a motley crew of people either.
Considering the lineup for this guild battle consists mostly of large guilds or larger, it goes without saying that it cannot be just a motley crew.
-Ah, Sina of the Bloodslaying. Making a mockery of the title of the greatest assassin, she was immediately subdued without landing a single successful attack.
It seems like they are saying that not all top 10 guilds are the same!
Just like the previous game, today is truly a series of surprises. Where else would you be able to see something like this?
I never imagined that the top 10 guilds would be determined to fight each other, or that the gap between the guilds would be this big.
That’s right. You are truly lucky to be watching this all-time great match live.
In this match, a group of assassins who are the same teenage guild and must absolutely not be targeted.
Because there was a blood kill.
“Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!”
“Waaaaaaah!!!”
“I’m crazy!!!”
“Oppa!!! You’re so cool!!”
“Is it for real that he didn’t move a single step? That’s insanely cool. Wow~”
He single-handedly crushed not only Master Shina but the entire executive ranks of that place.
Furthermore, the situation where all other participants have been dealt with as well.
All of this happened during that short time I was talking with the middle-aged man.
What on earth happened?
It felt like not even three minutes had passed, let alone five, so I was dumbfounded that the game was over.
Above all.
Why does that bastard look like he’s looking at me?
Is it just my imagination?
Because Myeolsal on the screen was facing the camera straight in the eye, it felt like we were making eye contact, and for some reason, it felt like he was saying this.
You’re next.
At the same time as my competitive spirit boiled over from the feeling of having lost a bet I hadn’t even made, curiosity arose.
“If it’s Sina, is she that assassin from back then? She must have been tricky because of her stealth.”
Her concealment is special.
From things that can never be seen through without the Eye of Truth, to surprise attacks where stealth is not broken, it is truly the essence of assassination.
It can be said that it shows its true value in PVP against other users rather than against bosses.
“Just look at me; I might have been defeated if it weren’t for the Eye of Truth.”
Of course, the self from back then is different from the self now, but the same must be true for her.
After all, rumors are circulating that he has started to be regarded as the greatest assassin in history, even including NPCs.
He subdued her without even moving from her seat?
Was the extermination that extreme?
Just when I was starting to feel frustrated beyond curious about what kind of magic they had performed.
It happened so quickly that I suspect some of you might have missed it. KSB reportedly recorded a separate video with slow motion. Let’s take a look together!
The chat window buzzed with excitement at the timely news, which came like welcome rain.
Wow~ Gamdasal.
The broadcasters are working hard today.
It really must be on a record-breaking scale. Were those guys always capable of working that efficiently?
The top three broadcasters really lived up to their reputation today lol
It’s hilarious how they compete with each other to send each other.
Seriously, can you see the look on the other broadcasting station staff’s faces, full of lingering regret? Why are they gritting their teeth and trying to let them go like that? Just because the guilds are fighting amongst themselves, they’re fighting amongst themselves too.
I really can’t stand a battle of egos lol
Ah, today’s broadcast is so much fun. My friend can’t watch it because they have to work overtime; I feel so bad for them.
Wow, seriously, that’s half my life wasted.
The audience and the chat window were buzzing with high tension due to the continuous stream of dopamine, but Dohyun focused his gaze on the screen regardless.
Is it because I was staring intently, almost glaring?
Ast also focused on the screen without saying a word, and the rewind video played amidst countless eyes.
[2]
[1]
[The match begins.]
Ah, it looks like it has just started. Let’s watch closely.
Is it because it ended so quickly?
Even though it was a rewind video, the MC focused on the footage without any further explanation, and the audience watched with bated breath.
Myeolsal in the screen was standing alone in the center, just as before.
As if he didn’t need the help of the guild members.
Standing high and mighty, holding the greatsword stuck in the ground, he merely took in the enemies with a calm gaze.
“……!”
“!!”
The Blood Slayer guild members, unable to hear, were saying something to him as they watched.
Judging by the way everyone was frowning, it didn’t seem like anything nice had been said.
At that moment, Myeolsal opened his mouth.
Was it because the camera focused on him? Strangely enough, his words were faint but clearly audible.
I’m sorry. I saw something interesting.
“?”
So, I intend to repay you.
What formed on the corners of his mouth as he calmly spoke was a clear smile.
Would a cold-blooded person act like that after receiving an unexpected gift?
A faint but subtle smile was greatly magnified and displayed on the screen.
“Wow, did Myeolsal laugh?”
“Wow, he really is fucking handsome……. With that look, that skill, and that kind of wealth? Life is fucking unfair.”
“Kyaa. It’s the first time I’ve seen Myeolsal smile, and it’s making my heart flutter.”
The audience, who had been watching with bated breath, gasped and stirred for a different reason.
Even the participants watching from the waiting room had a similar reaction.
It seems they were quite shocked by the new appearance of Myeolsal, who is famous for his poker face.
One, just one person.
“…….”
Dohyeon, at least, looked with eyes lower than ever before.
Sseu.
Dohyeon could see.
The moment Shina’s new form, transformed into a face as cold as frost, vanished and absolute stealth was activated.
The word formed by the shape of Myeolsal’s mouth as he released his hand from the greatsword stuck in the ground for the first time.
Watch closely.
Although he didn’t speak aloud, it was clearly audible to Dohyeon, who was watching intently.
In a world where time seems to have slowed down.
Dohyeon took in every scene that unfolded afterward.
and.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!!!
Everything ended in an instant.
Silence hung over the stands.
Even while watching the process revealed in detail through slow motion, no one could open their mouth.
There was no other choice.
That was… … such an overwhelming sight.
Rustle-
A single swing.
However, the repercussions it caused were practically a disaster.
The sword strike, which seemed to cut through space itself, split everything in front of it in half, and the same was true for Shina, who was hiding.
The moment it touched the sword path.
Sina’s eyes, stripped of her concealment as if a translucent membrane had been cut, were filled with astonishment.
Whoosh!
That was the last time Sina appeared.
At the same time, it was also the end of the Bloodslaying Guild.
——!!!
*Cough*!
… … !?
A single swing that split everything apart went beyond Sina to the executives behind her… … .
No, because I eliminated all the participants who were standing in the stadium.
Truly annihilation.
“oh my god.”
“This is crazy…….”
“Wow, was it really that bad?”
You’re living up to your nickname.
“Is that really the same person? He’s playing a completely different game all by himself.”
The murmuring grew louder, but Dohyeon kept his mouth shut.
However, his eyes were burning more than ever.
Waaah-!!!
Beyond the screen reflected as the rewind ended.
Because Myeolsal was looking directly at the camera.
Thanks to that, a loud cheer erupted from the murmuring audience, and Dohyun spoke for the first time.
“her.”
It is likely not just an illusion that it appears to be asking if you saw it clearly.
That’s fun.
okay.
Just as you said, it was a really good reward.
Thanks to that, the tension and excitement that had somewhat eased were boiling up again after confirming the performance of the Iron Chain Heavenly Tribulation.
“Hah. Myeolsal, that guy. He’s returned as a monster. Both you and he, you were strong to begin with, how do you manage to come back even stronger?”
Is this also a talent?
Dohyeon shook his head inwardly at the middle-aged man’s words, which he muttered as if he were dumbfounded.
So you hid something like this?
It hasn’t gotten stronger.
That isn’t a level that can be raised in a short period of time, nor does it feel like that.
It doesn’t feel like an upgrade from the existing one or like a blocked artery has been opened… … .
I was hiding my strength.
… … A catharsis as if liberating what had been hidden.
I can be sure.
Annihilation, the form that guy showed when he defeated Rag Behemoth was not his full power.
Was he trying to gauge my level?
If I hadn’t performed properly back then, that guy would have eventually revealed his full power.
Think so, but that guy wasn’t exactly normal either.
Doesn’t that mean he assessed his own strength with the resolve to even give up his ranking in such a large-scale raid?
An attitude as if such a trivial reward is not very important.
It really feels like a dragon’s game.
He is incredibly arrogant.
What was even more absurd was that the current Myeolsal was qualified for it.
It was certainly more shocking than anything I had seen from any ranker.
Even more than what I felt for Kuku.
“Kiya!! This is it!!!! Kaiser Cut! Cut! Cut!!! Who do you think you are to compare yourself to? I’m saying Annihilation is the best~”
“Yeah, a new Top 10 Guild Master? Our Lord Myeolsal is the real deal; he takes down even the established Top 10 Guild Masters in an instant~”
“Yeah, it’s not even a one-on-one~ My brother just takes on thirty people at once~ Surprise attacks don’t work, right? He just slices them all up in return, right?”
“Are there any Kaiser fans here who think Kaiser is superior to Myeolsal? Go ahead, try blabbering like that after seeing this! Hahaha!”
The rivalry between Myeolsal and Kaiser was already famous on online communities and YouTube.
In the midst of that, perhaps because Dohyeon had properly provoked Myeolsal when they met this time, shouts mocking him and linking him to it could be heard from the audience.
Myeolsal just watched all of that.
Still with both eyes fixed on the camera.
So this is how it turns out.
As if in response, Dohyeon also glared straight at the waiting room screen.
‘okay.’
Then he muttered softly.
“Let’s see who the real number one is.”
This was the time to settle the score.
* * *
And at that time.
Beyond the ‘darkness on the other side’.
The time has come.
A being declared in a low voice, its red eyes shining.
– It is time to end the long wait and bring ‘it’ back to where it originally belongs.
… … We must move before them.
The red eyes that had finished speaking slowly moved away and disappeared beyond the darkness, and the numerous presences that had received the order growled low.
Although they are obscured by darkness and not even their silhouettes are visible, anyone who has seen them would say the same thing.
That presence is… … .
It was like seeing something that doesn’t exist in the world.
