Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 32

The entrance opened in the pure white room, and what stretched out beyond was not a ‘maze' that was easy to understand.

[Enter the human hunter's jungle.]

It was a jungle.

‘It's a jungle of human hunters.'

Even just looking at the name, it was a labyrinth with an ominous name. Jungle and Maze In a sense, it would be difficult to find such a suitable combination.

A ray of sunlight fell vertically between the densely stretched tree branches. Although the darkness seemed deep, judging from the angle of the sunlight pouring in sparsely, it was probably around noon.

As I took a rustling step, the branches piled up on the humus floor broke and made a sound.

It was right then.

An endless stream of messages blocked the sight of the shooting stars and players.

[One rule: If a player kills another player, they can be revived at the end of the strategy.]

“Notice...”

“Thank God! It’s not a battle royale without resurrection or a death game...

“The King of Heroes is together. “There’s nothing to be afraid of!”

A voice continued among the players following Yooseong, saying that they had each lived their own lives.

[Rule 2: If a player is killed in the labyrinth, they cannot be revived even after the strategy is over.]

‘Up to this point, there is no significant difference from the rules in the tower.'

Yooseong quickly read the following notice.

[Rule 3: If you defeat the boss mob ‘Green King' in the heart of the jungle or become the last surviving group, the race will end and you will receive a reward.] In the labyrinth

. There are two ways to attack: defeat the boss mob in the first attempt or win the battle royale.

[Rule 4 Five groups participate in the race, and the power between each group is equal within the margin of error.]

［Rule 5 To foster a sense of community... If three players in the group die, the remaining players will also be disqualified and can be revived after completing the strategy according to ‘one rule.

‘

As soon as he saw the following message, Yoosung couldn't hold back and started swearing.

Even if he loses, he doesn't really have to worry about dying unless he gets killed by the labyrinth. But for Yoosung, that wasn't even a consideration in the first place. In his head, how should he clear this labyrinth? All that mattered was whether or not they could get the reward.

But the other players did not.

“I’m glad I don’t have to worry about dying. They say players can be resurrected even if they kill each other!”

“If we are in danger, let us kill each other without hesitation!”

“Hey, the King of Heroes is with us! What are you worried about?”

While saying that, there were four male and female players relying on the King of Heroes, and Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else’s business,

“I’m screwed.”

In order to maintain his position as a top player, for Yoosung, the game had to always be about winning.

However, the players who are currently with Yoosung are not like that. Their level is low and they do not even have the will or determination to be a player. I could tell as soon as I saw it. It was very clumsy

. They have a rookie mindset. They think about their own safety rather than immediate risks.

In contrast, the players in the rest of the groups will not be like that.

Rule 4: The power between each group is equal within the margin of error. However, There is no way that there is a player with the same level of power as the player hero King, who is maintaining the undisputed number 1 spot in the rankings. Then, there was only one thing to think about.

The high-ranking players who are each ranked high should unite and act as one. They must be doing it.

And, let alone helping Yoosung, they are newbies who worry that they might be a hindrance. There is a

plus on this side and a minus on this side. So, ‘as a result', the overall power of each group will be similar.

That's it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to achieve equality with the King of Heroes of the World.

“After this, I ended up dying of cancer instead of the top.”

Saying that, Yoosung turned his head.

Then he said,

“I’ve changed my mind. Everyone, please improve your level and all the skills you have./’ “

Yes, yes! I’m Lee Seong-ah and I

’m a contractor for the Lord of Magic. And my player level is… .

“What level?”

“That 3...”

Yoosung was silent for a moment.

After being silent, he smiled broadly and said,

“Welcome aboard the Hero King’s bus, passenger Lee Seong-ah. Where shall I take you?”

Five players from Group A were crossing the jungle. A

level 7 asshole and a level 3 Lee Seong-ah. The two were in good condition.

“I just woke up a few days ago...

but I’m still in a daze, unable to accept the situation. A level 1 player was also there. It was even a high school boy.

The only person we could rely on was Park Seong-ho, a level 20 player and a contractor for the Iron Lord. In the end, he was a level 20 player and probably a player from another group. It would be difficult to even guarantee how many

people would survive against the group. And if three of them die, they are eliminated.

To put it bluntly, if they encounter a hostile group, it wouldn't be strange if all four of them hit ‘shock' and die.

Nevertheless , In a way, it was the result of the overwhelming power of the King of Heroes. It was

not enough to just add a veteran player to the opposing group, so it was strong enough to put an overwhelming minus on this side.

Perhaps Yoosung could win this race purely by himself. If you fight against it, you will easily win against the rest of the group.

So there was nothing that would change and it was right then.

“Hey King of Heroes... you know what will happen if I die here, right?”

After a period of silence, the son of the Oseong group, an idiot, opened his mouth. Yooseong was dumbfounded and asked,

“What do you know?”

“The person you need to protect the most is me. ... After this is over, both

banks will pay the price.”

“What does that mean?”

A Level 1 high school student asked in bewilderment, and the idiot replied,

“Based on common sense, do you think my life is worth the same as your life? And do you think a Level 1 student can live here? The same goes for that woman. She should have lived from the beginning. We need to make sure we select people. That guy is at least level 20. Let’s make sure the three of us go like this:

“...What?! Are you in your right mind right now?”

“No, even if you die at the hands of the player, you don’t really die!

It’s inevitable that you will die in the labyrinth out of luck.”

“You should all think about living together.”

Lee Seong-ah answered those words

, and voices rose among the players.

Watching this as if it were someone else’s business, Yoosung took a deep breath.

“A team like bean powder or a team like bean powder? That’s it. “It’s a problem.”

It was right then.

It felt like life. It was a warning shouted by all the guardians, including ‘Crisis Detection (A)', the crystalline guardian of the senses that Yooseong had built up as a player. Huh! Immediately after, something shot out of the darkness. More than that, something shot out of the

darkness

. Yooseong quickly grabbed the level 1 high school student by the collar and snatched him up.

Just in the nick of time, the arrow grazed the high school student’s hair and hit the floor.

“Ugh?”

“Fasten your belt tight.”

After muttering, Yooseong stretched out his arms. The magic of cold energy waved around him, and a shield rose up, and dozens of arrows hit the shield. The weapons that were being forged by creating frost swords were the same cold weapons that had piled up the large shield

. The fortress of spirit was there.

A shooting star looked around in the formation of shields raised in all directions.

Silhouettes were moving quickly in the darkness of the jungle. They were not players.

Furthermore, judging by the name of this jungle, their identity was It wasn't difficult to guess:

“Keeeeek! Kieiek! Kieiik!”

“Kikiki kiiiiik! Kick!”

A very strange voice rang out, and I could understand that it was their own form of communication. It

was a goblin (Goblir*).

They were carrying out the hunt in a very organized and systematic manner.

‘Let's see, there were five of them scattered around, aiming arrows at each other. Marie and...

Immediately after that, there were silhouettes standing between the shields of cold. Holding sharply curved swords in their hands.

Ouch!

Shadow blades rose up as if to stop the goblins. The shadow of the ice shield set up by Yoosung. Inside,

the seven-horned skewers rose up like long spears, and a formation of living long spears advanced and struck down at the goblins. There was

not even a moment for them to scream,

because ‘another shadow blade' rose from the shadow blade even faster than that.

《Shadow Blade》

- Attribute . Darkness Assassination

- Grade . Rare

- Ability

. Can create a blade of darkness from the player's shadow.

. Shadow synergy enhancement effect: Stack one shadow blade up to a maximum of 3 swords. Creation. Expandable

Unfortunately, having both Darkness and Assassination does not mean you can receive both synergies. The only synergy you can receive is the front attribute. Raise one shadow blade and place another on top of

that blade. A shadow blade rose up.

This sword (three swords) rose from the skewer that was tearing the goblins apart. It tore off their uvulas without them even having time to scream. There was

nothing good about the sound echoing.

Just like that, the shooting star lowered its head. “Black, wake up.”

—

Meow.

Immediately after that, the cat pulled out from the shadow at his feet and stuck its head

out. As soon as you thought it had stuck its head out

, the corner of its mouth split into a grin. Before long, a shadow had covered the entire area under your feet in the jungle. The sea of shadows began to engulf

the bottom of the jungle, and ocean predators jumped up like whales and opened their maws, even the goblins hiding in the trees were no exception.

Kwajik!

The mouths of the monsters rose up all at once, and the goblin was swallowed up by the tree it was hiding in. Every time the jaw bone moved, there was a sound of something being broken or torn apart.

It was an incredibly frightening and amazing sight, as if dozens of whales were jumping out of the sea at once.

Nevertheless, there was a goblin desperately running away from the tree to avoid the monsters.

As soon as he saw that, Yoosung's flesh and bones collapsed on the spot.

Shadow stepping.

Suddenly, Yooseong appeared from behind the fleeing goblin and swung his frost sword.

Sigh!

Blood was splattered. That was the end.

After killing the last ‘hunter', the hunter's hunter turned his head.

“My level has increased tremendously!”

“Me too!”

The level 1 high school student and level 3 Lee Seong-ah raised their voices, and Yoosung calmly asked back.

“How is everyone’s ride?”

“...better than a Ferrari.”

The maniac answered.
