I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 9

The Very Strange Guest (2) – [It Kills Two]

009.

“A million won!”

– Wow

– A big spender arrives

– But to clear with just an axe? Not just Brute, but the bosses too?

– Oak… isn’t this a bit too much?

The chat box buzzed with excitement.

Of course, it was entertaining for most viewers to watch broadcasters struggle to complete difficult missions, but there had to be a limit.

Throwing an impossible mission could tire out even the viewers.

But using an axe, not just any close-range weapon.

Even with an axe in hand, it’s only about the size of an adult man’s forearm when it comes to reach.

Clearing all of [It Kills Two] with that short axe was almost like saying not to clear it at all, considering the appearance of various monsters along with humanoid creatures in [It Kills Two].

– This is a bit much;;

– If we clear a bit more, the iron bar will come out, let’s switch to that

– Ah hahahaha, an iron bar would be doable

– Go○ Pro○man meta go go

Hence, both Black Oak and Jian Chu’s chat boxes were filled with such reactions.

“What? Hearing ‘clumsy hands’ and giving impossible tasks for no reason? Um… Did I give it away?”

– Junggok ◈

– Kkojang ON

– Just touching, I’m going to use melee weapons only ◈

Of course, BlackOrc wasn’t really attempting to clear missions using just an axe.

‘No matter what, that’s just too much.’

Clearing with just an axe.

Even though it was his own mission, it seemed absurd.

Even if Ido Hyeok could skillfully handle an axe like in the play I saw earlier, taking down the bosses of [It Kills Two] with just that was a whole different story.

‘The axe is a bit extreme.’

As someone in the chat suggested, maybe sticking to melee weapons only would be more appropriate.

Then you could use a crowbar, for example.

Thanks to someone who wielded a crowbar and took down all sorts of aliens, it was a weapon with strong symbolism in the gaming industry.

In [It Kills Two], it was a melee weapon with performance second only to an electric saw.

‘With that physique, I think it’s possible to clear even with a crowbar, right?’

It might take some time, but it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.

Moreover, if that worked out, the visuals could turn out quite nicely as well.

[The Appearance of Korean ○den Free○?!] Slap on a title like that and you could easily rack up views on YouTube.

“Hey. Everyone calm down. I have a conscience too. Would I set missions like that?”

BlackWalk said that, calming down the viewers and once again proposing a mission.

And that was the moment.

[-An axe mission? I’ll give it a try.]

Ido Hyeok accepted the mission, saying so.

No, he went beyond that…

[Oh, I pressed it twice by mistake.]

Following his acceptance of the mission, Ido Hyeok even pressed the success button.

Ding-

[Mission success!]

[BlackOrc has donated 1,000,000 won!]

The notification of mission success rang out, along with the broadcast of 1 million won.

“…Huh?”

-hahahahaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What’s this hahahahaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, is this for real?

A startled BlackOrc and his room viewers.

[-Oh, oppa!]

[Uh… my bad.]

Jian was also surprised.

“Well, even if the mission is successful, it’s okay, right?”

Without paying much attention to such reactions, Ido Hyeok fixed his grip on the axe.

In [It Kills Two], the first boss creature to appear is a monster named Egrand.

Base is human, but due to a virus-induced mutation, it reaches nearly 2.5 meters in size, with one arm resembling a grotesque electric saw.

According to the setting, the virus caused the spine, ribs, heart, stomach, and other organs to attach to the right arm, transforming it into an electric saw-like appendage.

Just brushing against that arm boasted such a vicious damage that it could instantly deplete a player’s HP.

“If it hits directly, it’s instant death.”

Even one hit meant either HP depletion or instant death from its brutal attack power.

Moreover, it’s not a slow attacker like a brute.

Especially, if a player managed to dodge Egrand’s attacks a few times, suddenly the saw arm would turn red, signaling a change in pattern, accelerating like a motor and aiming to shred the player to pieces.

“So, that’s why you need help from other players.”

When first facing it, Egrand was a difficulty level that left one wondering how to defeat it.

But could [It Kills Two] be a two-player game for no reason?

There was a way to deal with Egrand without suffering major damage, a strategy.

It involved timing another player shooting a paralysis dart near Egrand’s shoulder when it raised its saw arm to attack the player. This would momentarily halt the movement of the saw arm, allowing the player to evade the attack.

The saw arm was Egrand’s main attack method and its weakness at the same time.

Hence, Egrand would prioritize targeting the one who attacked its saw arm. As the aggro shifted, the other player on the safer side would deal damage. Then, around the time when the other player was in danger, they would shoot a paralysis dart to regain the aggro.

In essence, accumulating damage on Egrand by bouncing aggro back and forth was the core strategy to defeat Egrand!

“Uh, um.”

-It should’ve been like that.

“That… That… Ha, hahahahaha.”

Surely, that was the normal strategy for dealing with Egrand.

Black Oak looked at the situation with a bewildered expression.

No, it wasn’t just that.

-Awkward LOL

-LOLOLOLOL

-Paralysis dart? What’s that?

-Why do we need that when we can just saw with an axe LOL

Black Oak and his viewers.

And even Ji An Chu’s viewers, along with Ji An Chu watching from afar as he observed Ido Hyuk’s gameplay.

“So, this is the first boss? Let’s give it a shot.”

The way they approached Egrand was slightly different.

Paralysis dart? Aggro bouncing between two players?

It seemed unnecessary as Ido Hyuk pushed Ji An to one side and faced Egrand alone.

The only weapon he had was, naturally, a single-handed axe.

“Hiya-.”

Ido Hyuk’s process of hunting Egrand was quite simple.

Swish-

Dodging Egrand’s initial attack by kicking back and leaping backward.

And then.

Lowering his stance, then leaping forward.

Thunk!

The joint of the arm where the electric saw was embedded in the ground is used as the landing point.

Thanks to that, Eggrande’s neck, which extends to 2.5 meters, is now at the height of Lee Dohyuk’s head.

Once again, he put strength into both legs and lunged.

The blade of the hand axe held in Lee Dohyuk’s hand aimed directly at Eggrande’s groin.

Swish-

“······.”

-It’s not working, lol.

-Eggrande has high defense, won’t be sliced by a hand axe.

But it’s shallow.

There was no need to check the target area again.

Just the sensation left on his fingertips was enough to know.

-If you hit him a few hundred times, you might catch him lol

-Chu, don’t just cheer, shoot your gun. You’re allowed to use firearms.

-Then you end up team-killing again;; What are you even trying to do?

-Still, isn’t a nerve paralyzer needed?

While the chat window was buzzing with comments, Lee Dohyuk paid no attention.

Come to think of it, before the boss battle started, they were talking about strategies.

‘Strategies?’

What a joke.

Regardless of whether it’s a game or not, what Lee Dohyuk is doing now.

Who on Earth is better at hunting monsters than Lee Dohyuk?

There was no need to refer to strategies that came out in the short history of Full Dive, which hasn’t even been around for five years yet.

Above all, Lee Dohyuk must be well-versed in the ‘Counter Monster Strategy’ that all of humanity on Earth came up with after 20 years.

Thwack!

There were countless times during his Hunter days when he couldn’t land a proper blow due to lack of attack power.

Even though he was Lee Dohyuk, he wasn’t a transcendent Hunter from the start.

Rather, due to awakening ten years late, he had to face alien species that had become several times stronger than when he first invaded starting from his first year of awakening.

How did Lee Dohyuk survive against those alien species and eventually become one of the 9 Heroes?

The answer was simple.

‘Dodge well, strike well.’

It was a very effective method that made Lee Dohyuk one of the 9 Heroes.

…Even though it didn’t work on the Dominator.

Anyway, there was no room for Lee Dohyuk to back down against the game’s first boss.

Swish-

The axe blade struck Eggrande’s neck.

This time, the axe blade sank a little deeper.

Thanks to the first attack that had only grazed by earlier, giving him the opportunity to strike again.

An attack aimed at the slightly widened gap.

The sensation flowing through the handle.

Although it might not be real, feeling that sensation after a long time brought forth memories of the past.

At that moment, with a whirring sound, the arm of Egrandé swung back.

Ido-hyuk swiftly retrieved the axe and dodged Egrandé’s electric saw arm flying towards him.

Thud! Clang!

Brushing through the air, Egrandé’s arm flew and collided with a pillar, producing a cracking sound.

It was that moment.

Crack!

The axe blade once again plunged into the neck, this time even deeper than before.

The axe blade mercilessly tore through the gaping wound.

The hand axe, now deeply embedded except for the handle, trembled as if convulsing.

“Grr, ugh—!”

Thud…

As if in a final act of defiance, Egrandé screamed.

In no time, Ido-hyuk deftly avoided the collapsing Egrandé on the ground.

“Hmm.”

It took no more than a dozen seconds.

Ido-hyuk’s time to hunt down Egrandé.

“…”

The cheerleader… no, Jianne, had not even fired a shot with the revolver she had retrieved from her pocket before the incident unfolded.

Egrandé collapsed while tangled with his brother.

– What’s going on?

– ???????

The chat box, adorned with hooks, reflected Jianne’s feelings.

What’s this all about?

My brother is good at games like this?

“This one’s a bit tricky. I was quite surprised, especially when that whirring sound happened earlier.”

– LOL

– He’s being a bit harsh after winning; nice job;

– This guy’s insane

– Is this guy a flying squirrel? Seriously, he’s soaring through the air

In an instant, the chat box was flooded with admiration and confusion.
