Chapter 35

* * *

– The subscriber count…???

– Not the 1st place condition???

“Condition of being the top remain unchanged.”

Someone who was betting 30 billion just to see his status window.

Although the Neo Self-Defense Force seems the most likely suspect, there’s no conclusive evidence.

Moreover, retaliating directly against an anonymous opponent is difficult.

‘Increasing the conditions to show my status window to an absurd level is perhaps the best revenge I can do.’

Of course, the best way would be to cancel the promise to reveal the status window altogether.

‘But doing so would drastically reduce interest in my broadcast.’

Despite being a Bronze League channel, Seong Jihan’s channel was rapidly gaining popularity day by day.

Several factors contributed to this rapid growth.

But the biggest of them all was the curiosity about Seong Jihan’s status window and the anticipation of when it would be revealed.

If he were to cancel the promise now, he would lose most of the viewers.

‘The Neo Self-Defense Force should serve as the spark for my broadcast.’

Though it’s not yet confirmed if the Neo Self-Defense Force is behind the 30 billion mission to see his status window, he had to subtly suggest that they might be involved during the broadcast.

‘This will help me gain more attention.’

After the Sword King moved to Japan, the current anti-Japanese sentiment, the strongest in the 21st century, just hinting that the Neo Self-Defense Force is after him would garner significant attention.

Given the current rate of subscribers, reaching 200,000 will be quick. I needed an excuse to make a change. This worked out well.’

Jihan, using Takeda’s scheme to his advantage, smirked.

“If you want to see my status window that badly… either stop me from getting the first rank or gather a million subscribers.”

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, the three Black Eagle guild members floated up.

“Inventory.”

While keeping them in the air, he opened his inventory and took out an item.

It was a long rope, an F-grade item called the ‘Binding Rope.’

The Binding Rope shot out from Jihan’s hand like a snake, binding the three in an instant.

– Why does he even have a rope lol

– Was he prepared for this?

– He throws it like an artist. Was he a cowboy in his past life?

In an instant, the three players were tightly bound without even a chance to resist.

After confirming that their bodies were completely restrained, Seong Jihan released Force.

“Let’s go.”

Squelch!

He began dragging the three bound party members.

– Look at them being humiliated lol

– Did they just become a joke? Lol, pathetic

– Black Eagle Guild? More like Black Joke Guild lol

The warrior gritted his teeth in humiliation.

Being a part of the Gangnam 1st Division, he was once treated as a promising individual wherever he went.

But now, he was being paraded in front of everyone in the most humiliating manner.

“Se-Seong Jihan…! How dare you! Treating us like this? Are you looking down on the Black Eagle Guild?!”

He tried to threaten Jihan by mentioning his guild, but…

Chuckle!

He was met with not only Jihan’s laugh but also…

– A Bronze Rank player threatening with a guild?

– You can tell he’s a third-rate villain lol

– Villain? More like a joke lol lol lol

The scorn from the viewers.

‘Ughhhh…’

As Seong Jihan continued to drag them with a mocking smile, the Warrior desperately thought.

‘Last time… the Mage who badmouthed his niece ended up dead…’

The Mage, Kim Gyuhyuk, who was brutally beaten by Jihan after badmouthing his nephew.

When he had watched it, he had thought what a trashy person the Mage was.

‘But now I have to die, even if it means being trash.’

Bound all over and with only his mouth free.

Now, with his entire body bound and only his mouth free, he wanted to provoke Jihan into killing him.

“Your nie-… mmmph…!”

But as soon as he tried to say ‘Niece’, the warrior’s mouth was forcibly shut.

His words were blocked by the force.

“Stay quiet.”

Seong Jihan, using Acupoint Sealing, shut the warrior’s mouth.

‘Now I can pick up the pace.’

Seong Jihan, who shut all three of them using the Acupoint Sealing, took the Warrior’s weapon and began moving forward in earnest.

Swoosh!

[Do not disturb his-.]

Bang!

Before the sentence could be finished, a shield flew like a gust of wind, smashing into the head of a guard.

It was the warrior’s shield, now in Jihan’s hands, serving as an impressive offensive weapon rather than a defensive one.

Swish!

As Jihan marched relentlessly, traps sprung from all sides and arrows flew towards him.

Clang! Clang!

Jihan deflected the incoming arrows with the shield, “I need to be careful.”

He kindly halted the arrows heading towards his party members using Force.

“Heal.”

He even provided healing services for his party members who got hurt while being dragged.

Jihan was the epitome of a perfect Support.

– Look at him taking care of his party members!

– I thought the Mage would die soon, but I don’t think that’s happening anymore.

– If they die, they get 10 billion, what a pity lol.

Moving faster than when he teamed up with the party, Jihan soon arrived at the last room of the dungeon’s 6th floor.

Swoosh!

[Surround the intruder.]

[Do not let a single one live.]

As soon as Jihan entered the last room of the dungeon, the guards of the mausoleum were summoned from all sides.

Unlike before, where they only appeared in front, now they were coming from all directions, forming a tight encirclement.

This encirclement was the biggest challenge in conquering the dungeon.

Breaking through the encirclement of the guards without losing a single member was the actual final mission of the dungeon ‘Conqueror’s Mausoleum’.

– Can Jihan protect his party members in this room? There are over 100 guards.

– Carrying them around like that, someone might get hit.

– This is the biggest challenge.

– My chicken has arrived!!!!!!

Even the viewers, familiar with Jihan’s abilities, were uncertain.

Because with over a hundred powerful guards shooting arrows from all sides, one unlucky arrow could kill a party member.

Typical strategy guides recommended staying closely packed and pushing through to the passage leading to the 7th floor.

Of course, Jihan had no such intentions.

[Limited Quest]

[Annihilate the guards.]

[Reward: 1,000 Achievement Points.]

This limited quest only appeared once Jihan reached the 6th floor.

A smile formed on Jihan’s lips.

‘It’s about time. I haven’t received a big quest in a while.’

After a long absence of achievement quests, getting 1,000 achievement points was a welcome reward.

“Shield.”

Jihan dragged his party members to the center and cast the basic support magic, ‘Shield’.

The viewers were in awe as a massive protective barrier formed.

It was an unusually thick shield for a basic spell.

– Why is that shield so thick?

– Ah… So this is Jihan’s ‘Shield’…

– Is there anything he can’t do?!

Thanks to Force, the combined power of Mana and Divine Power, the shield was fortified.

‘Still, it’s a basic spell. It won’t hold for long.’

No matter how fortified the shield was with Force, it would eventually break under the concentrated attack of the guards.

With the short time he had bought, he had to suppress the enemies.

Whoosh!

Jihan’s figure vanished in an instant, rushing to where the guards were gathered.

[Death to those who disturb his rest!]

To block Jihan, the front-line guards swiftly raised their shields, but…

“Move aside.”

Boom!

With a simple gesture from Seong Jihan, the hands of the guards simultaneously exploded, rendering them powerless in an instant.

With his Force reaching level 20, his ‘Absolute Domain’ had expanded. Within this domain, the possibilities of what Jihan could do were limitless.

Bang!

He exploded the hands holding the weapons and evaded the slowed attacks within his domain, easily cutting down his enemies.

[Death…]

Slash!

The guards, speaking so slowly, couldn’t even finish their sentences before they were sent sprawling on the ground.

‘The potential of Force is endless.’

‘To think Barren used such a remarkable ability as just “a more powerful Magic Power”.’

Jihan, amidst the guards moving as if in slow motion, effortlessly cut them down, dismantling their encirclement.

In no time at all,

[Kill… Intruder…]

The last guard exploded.

[You have cleared the Limited Quest.]

[You have gained 1,000 Achievement Points as a reward.]

“Shall we continue?”

After completing the quest and deactivating his shield, Jihan began to drag his party members along again.

His nonchalant tone made it sound as if he was simply taking a stroll with a puppy.

– The guards exploded like they were made of glass. Weren’t they supposed to be tough?

– Nothing works against him.

– Seriously, what kind of insane ability does he have?

Not just the Scouts, but regular viewers were also curious about Jihan’s stats.

– Isn’t the subscriber requirement too high all of a sudden?

– Thanks to Takeda trolling, the reveal is now delayed.

– 1 million… lol, 200,000 seemed achievable soon, but a million? lol.

– With 30 billion, why not just hire fake subscribers? Why flip the table?

– It’s difficult given the BattleNet system, isn’t it?

BattleNet, created using advanced extraterrestrial technology, made it nearly impossible to manipulate figures.

Although one could create multiple accounts, the system was stringent when it came to GP (game points) transactions.

Manipulating subscribers or views was virtually impossible in this foolproof system.

– But surely, before reaching 1 million, he’ll lose the first rank, right?

– Seriously, 1 million is over the line. How many BattleTubers in our country even have a million subscribers?

– Only Diamond Leaguer players, maybe?

Just like when he initially set 200,000 subscribers as the condition, everyone unanimously believed that revealing the stats due to a failure in securing the first rank would happen before reaching 1 million subscribers. Because 1 million was such an unimaginable number.

– Nonsense! There’s no way Mr. Seong Jihan’s first rank record will break. He’ll reach 1 million subscribers first!

– It’s Streamer Golden Light!

– A black sheep worth 10 million!

Only Streamer Golden Light, who revealed the existence of the 10 billion won mission to Jihan, confidently chatted that reaching 1 million subscribers would come before any failure in maintaining the first rank.

– But… the Conqueror’s Statue won’t be easy right?

– Yeah, it requires cooperation with party members.

– After being dragged around like dogs? If he lets them go, they might just kill themselves out of shame.

Others subtly hoped that Jihan might slip from his first rank, all eyes now on the final mission of the 7th floor.
