Chapter: 89

-Huh?

-Why are you here?

-Aren't you clearing the private area?

-A villain seeking a duel has appeared.

-Crap, he won't let go now.

-We'll see each other again soon.

"..."

Hanbit, meeting his gaze, pondered.

The impression he got from that short conversation was a strong desire to compete.

Just looking at the situation where he suddenly wanted a one-on-one duel, he could predict what would happen next.

Although it was doubtful that he would easily give up, he didn't expect him to come this quickly.

"Qingla is also very interested in Black Dragon."

Avantgarde, standing beside him, spoke cautiously.

Qingla, a large Chinese corporation with three advance teams.

Liwei, in particular, was a person with a great passion for competition.

After looking at his opponent for a moment, Hanbit opened his mouth again.

"What's your goal? I told you that if anyone bothers me, I won't reveal the private area."

"I told you, right? I hope we have another chance to face each other. Oh, do whatever you want with the private area."

-?

-Who are you, you crazy bastard;

-Get lost.

-So what can you guys do?

-Comment spam?

-Website hacking?

-Viewers = useless tier 0

The viewers expressed their anger at Liwei's statement.

However, those words were not just empty bravado.

Taking his eyes off the chat, Hanbit decided to try persuasion first.

"I told you I wouldn't do a one-on-one duel, right?"

"I won't. The difference in our stats is too extreme right now."

-Pretending to be fair;

-You're an advance team player.

-No matter what you do, there will be a big difference.

-Ranger:???

-Info) Ranger is also really strong.

-Yeah, aquarium boss killer.

The viewers continued to lash out at Liwei.

No matter how many things Black Dragon had shown, the advance team was special.

A match where the gap could be seen in equipment and ability was unlikely to happen.

"What if I refuse again?"

"I'll just follow you until I get it."

A fanatic-like zeal was in Liwei's eyes.

It was hard to tell if it was a game or reality.

It's better to deal with people like that properly to save time.

"Phew."

Accepting reality, Hanbit sighed.

And looking at Liwei who had somehow come right in front of him, he said, "Okay. What kind of duel are we going to have?"

"It's simple. The tough hide of the snow flower deer you're looking for. Whoever gets it first wins."

"What? Why..."

"Then let's start!"

Thud-!

Liwei immediately kicked off the ground and disappeared into the forest.

There was no discussion about what they could gain from the match or how the area would be divided.

-He just left like that?

-That guy's crazy. lol

-Fact) He's still popular.

-Is he just really handsome;

-What a dirty world.

"Haah."

He sighed, thinking that it was pointless to think about it for too long.

Turning his gaze, Hanbit looked at the snow-covered forest and said, "Let's go too."

* * *

Thud-!

Hanbit accelerated and dashed through the forest.

No matter the outcome of the competition, he couldn't let the special material be taken away.

"This turned out to be a fun situation."

Avantgarde, following behind, had a pleased expression.

While he was worried about the intervention of the advance team, ultimately, this was also new content.

-Fun?

-It's not fun if you lose.

-But since this is based on luck, it should be okay?

-Yeah, finding a snow flower deer is really tough.

-The advance team members are lucky too;

-Why do they have to take everything...

The viewers considered finding the material to be a matter of 'luck'.

While Hanbit agreed, his past knowledge still lingered in his mind.

If he moved quickly, he could easily get ahead.

"Wait a moment."

Hanbit, who was running through the forest, stopped at a place where a bare tree was leaning.

The key to finding the snow flower deer quickly was footprints.

However, since they were imprinted on the white snow, it was not easy to find them.

"Mr. Avantgarde, please follow this path. Like drawing a large semicircle."

"Understood."

Thud-!

Avantgarde kicked off without asking any questions.

It was impossible to teach him how to distinguish footprints right now.

It was more efficient to simply reduce the search area.

'He's not going to watch the stream.'

No matter what happened, Liwei was serious about winning.

He would never watch his opponent's stream and get information.

Thud-!

Having made up his mind, Hanbit started running towards the inner forest.

Meanwhile, his eyes were scanning the state of the snow.

'Not this way.'

After about 5 minutes, he confirmed that there were no footprints.

Hanbit changed direction towards a place where the trees were thick.

At that moment.

Swish-!

Suddenly, a sharp blade appeared from the bushes.

"..."

The unexpected situation triggered Hanbit's instinctive movements.

Whoosh-!

Twisting his body, he lowered his stance like he was sliding.

At the same time, the blade that had rushed towards his eyes grazed his hair and missed.

-??

-Damn, I was startled;

-I almost broke my monitor;

-Who else is it?

The viewers were just as confused.

However, they were not given time to question.

Swish-!

Three shadows emerged from the bushes.

Hanbit stepped back and took a defensive stance with his sword.

'That mark...'

Next to the unfamiliar nickname, there was a red line.

In other words, all three were PKers.

Thud-!

At that moment, a man with an axe pushed off his feet and charged.

Hanbit, who was holding the sword with both hands, charged forward in the same way.

Clang-!

The two weapons collided with a sharp noise.

Creak-

A brief struggle ensued while they stared at each other.

With that short exchange, Hanbit had made up his mind.

Whoosh-!

Flames erupted from the blue-white sword once again.

Although he wasn't at 100% condition due to the aftermath of the nest, it was best to deal with these guys as quickly as possible.

"..."

The man who was facing him with his weapon widened his eyes.

Without missing the moment of hesitation, Hanbit tilted his sword and slid it along the opponent's axe.

"Ugh!"

The man staggered as his center of gravity suddenly shifted forward.

At that moment, Hanbit, who had grabbed his back, lightly swung his sword.

Puk-!

The blade, which dug into the man's shoulder and neck, engulfed him in flames.

He didn't need to warm up to deal with such an enemy.

[You have received 7,300 experience points.]

Swish-!

At that moment, two companions moved sideways and rushed towards him with a scythe and a sword.

Watching their movements, Hanbit kicked off the ground and jumped high.

Clang-!

The two weapons that had already been swung collided with each other.

Hanbit, who was in the air, turned his body and put strength into the sword he was holding with both hands.

And he swung his sword sharply downward.

Swish!

With one clean motion, the necks of the two attackers were severed.

[You have received 15,300 experience points.]

-?

-It's over?

-They were weaklings. lol

-Easy, easy.

The situation was resolved without the need for any grand strategy.

However, Hanbit had activated his attribute Manifestation with a different purpose.

Swish-!

Suddenly, a sharp sound cut through the air.

Ting-!

A silver needle was blocked by his reflexively swung sword.

A fine liquid scattered, a type of paralytic poison.

"Wow, did you see that? He dodged it again."

A familiar voice came from a distance.

Turning his gaze, he saw a human male with short hair.

[Trigger]

"Long time no see."

People appeared from beyond the bushes.

There were four players looking at this place.

"...Haah."

A familiar face at the front.

Trigger, a guild member of Nesto, the PK guild that had attacked him in Edlen.

-Ah.

-That guy is back;

-He brought friends this time?

-I'm jealous...

-??

Although he expected him to come someday, the timing was faster than he thought.

‘I guess it can’t be helped.’

Apart from the nature of the Nesto guild, he had a twisted personality in many ways.

It wasn’t just a burning desire for revenge due to losing a fight. He simply sought to satisfy his desire for killing and death.

"This doesn't seem to be a quest."

"A quest? Ah, there was something like that."

Trigger shrugged as if he didn't care.

He only felt a pure desire to kill Black Dragon.

‘Their levels seem to be quite high.’

The players standing around Trigger had a slightly different atmosphere.

The weapons, armor, and accessories they wore were all familiar to Hanbit.

If they were using equipment of that level, they were definitely not low-level players.

In terms of level, they were probably at least 100.

-Is that Arcade?

-Huh?

-It's really Arcade. lol

-We're screwed.

-GG

-Let's just surrender.

Viewers watching the enemies focused on one player.

Above his head floated the name Arcade.

There were four red lines next to it.

He remembered hearing that the sub-guild leader of Nesto had five.

Ding-!

[Taljoo donated 1,000 won.]

[He's level 160. GTFO]

A donation message that drove the nail into the coffin of the already ominous atmosphere.

Although he was weaker than the Ranger, the situation itself was different.

They had come here solely for the purpose of killing Black Dragon.

"I didn't know the guild members were so close."

He had heard that the Nesto guild was completely individualistic.

If they had gathered like this, the information must have been wrong.

"Close? Ah, because of these people?"

Trigger looked around as if he understood the meaning.

Players who were much stronger than himself.

He could only think that they had gathered to avenge his guild members.

After all, that was the image of a PK guild.

At least, that's what he thought.

"It's a funny misconception, but I hired them all with my own money."

"Hired?"

"There's no law that says guild members can't request other guild members, right? Money can do anything."

Trigger smiled calmly.

A subtle madness was evident in his eyes and expression.

He hadn't expected that he would hire guild members, but there was nothing he could do.

"That's a good expression. I really want to break you."

Trigger took a step back, raising the corners of his lips.

Arcade stood beside him, guarding him.

"Begin."

With Trigger's words, two men and a woman stepped forward.

They were holding identical daggers, but they were no ordinary weapons.

Swish-

A crimson color was reflected on the surface. A faint purple glow was noticeable.

‘It's even cursed.’

Curses bestowed upon items were a kind of black magic.

As both sorcerers and users were very few, it was quite a rare skill.

"For just one person, you're going to all this trouble."

"You got paid a lot. Shut up and do it."

There were three red lines next to the two people's nicknames.

In other words, they were opponents who couldn't be defeated as easily as before.

"Huu."

A hint of anger crept into Hanbit's breath.

It was a very annoying situation.

And the guy who started all this was watching from a distance, looking amused.

Running his hand through his hair, Hanbit tightened his grip on his sword.

"Alright, let's do this."
