It happened in an instant. Hyeonu finished speaking, pulled out the Mysterious Sky Sword, and released pure energy. The size of Crescent Moon Cut was huge. It was unfortunate that it was fired vertically. If it were fired horizontally, then all six guild masters would enter the range of the pure energy.
Zenith’s master reacted quickly to the strong sword energy that moved toward him. He also pulled out his sword and used his skills to hit it. The pure energy shot by the guild master of Zenith succeeded in blocking Hyeonu’s pure energy. The problem was that it was only for a very short time. The sword energy slowed for just a moment. It didn’t weaken at all as it directly cut through the body of the Zenith guild master.
[A player has been killed.]
[The wicked deed figure has increased by 1.]
[A penalty will occur if your wicked deeds figure exceeds 10.]
[The wicked deeds figure will decrease by 1 every 10 days.]
[Current wicked deeds figure: 1.]
Hyeonu cleared the message windows that appeared in front of his eyes. Then he glanced at the five masters of Five Stars in front of him and left. After Hyeonu left, the forest was quiet for a long time. Those who were left behind couldn’t say anything. They were speechless in front of Alley Leader’s ridiculous strength.
A long time later, one of the five masters of Five Stars opened his mouth. “Does this make... sense?”
He couldn’t understand it. How could a player who had completed the third class advancement be killed in a single blow?! Of course, it wasn’t impossible for a player to die in one strike. It was possible if the difference between the two players was extreme enough. However, the Zenith leader wore more than five unique items. Additionally, he was over level 200, so he had naturally gone through the third class awakening. Nevertheless, he was killed by Alley Leader.
“I think there must be a huge difference...?”
“Regardless of skills, I think there is a serious difference in stats between the two of them.”
“He wanders around the Balder Mountains alone for a reason. That means he should have this much attack power.”
“Is it a class characteristic? Isn’t the attack power too high?”
The other four masters started to express their thoughts. They were now gradually recovering from the shock caused by Alley Leader.
“Then did we choose incorrectly?”
“By accepting Zenith’s suggestion? We didn’t take it that seriously in the first place. Isn’t it over if we just say we won’t do it anymore?”
“Yes. It would have been enough if we had stopped at that time. But what about after this? Things have already been done. We didn’t do those things ourselves, but in their eyes, we are all one group. Will they believe us if we say no now?”
“So what can we do?”
“Now we have to try and get as much as possible. Gather the power of the three guilds and build a camp as deep as possible. The fight will be postponed to next time. We will do guerilla strikes when there is no Alley Leader.”
“What if we meet Alley Leader?” One master asked.
“At that time, we have to run away, struggle, or pray. Take care of yourselves. It can’t be helped if there is damage. However, it will be different over time. There will be limits to the actions Alley Leader executes alone.”

The vanished Hyeonu appeared somewhere in the Balder Mountains and sat on a huge rock. Tang-E was sitting on Hyeonu’s knees and chewing on a small piece of meat.
“Did it say that my wicked deeds have risen?” Hyeonu recalled the message window that appeared when he killed Zenith’s leader. Wicked deeds figure—there was definitely such a thing. Hyeonu reopened the message window he put away earlier and found the information on ‘wicked deeds.’
‘It is this.’
[Wicked Deeds]
It was a number that occurred when killing a player, and it increased by one every time he killed a player.
[There will be a penalty when the wicked deeds figure exceeds 10.
-Once the wicked deeds figure is over 10: Create the mark of a murderer (both eyes will turn red, killing won’t increase the wicked deeds figure). Experience will decrease upon death.
-Once the wicked deeds figure is over 20: Increased chance that a dead player will drop items when killed. You will drop two pieces of equipment when you are killed.
-Once the wicked deeds figure is over 30: Reduces the experience gained by hunting monsters by 30% and experience can be gained when killing players. You will drop three pieces of equipment when you are killed.
-If a person with over 20 points of wicked deeds is killed, your wicked deeds value is reduced by 1.]
Starting from 40 points, it was just an extension of the 30-point condition. Rather than a new penalty, the existing ones were increased in proportion.
‘The more I kill, the further I get from ordinary hunting.’
The more wicked deeds that he accumulated, the more it was impossible for him to grow normally through hunting monsters. At that time, he would have to hunt players to grow like everyone else. Hyeonu saw this and suddenly had an idea.
‘Will there be a few executives with a high wicked deeds figure?’
Indeed, having a high wicked deeds figure placed a brake on growth. In addition, the more famous the player, the most sensitive they were to how others evaluated them. However, people who weren’t famous might be different. It was common for these people to give up their fame in case they became the target of hyenas.
‘Isn’t it easy to use this?’
An idea flashed into his mind. Hyeonu could lower his wicked deeds figure if he killed players with a high wicked deeds figure. This would allow him to manage his own wicked deeds figure.
‘I’ll smash it properly.’
Hyeonu was a man who showed more than his imagination, even if it was about revenge.
***
Two days—that was how much time Hyeonu had left until his next stream. After that, it would be six days until his next stream. In six days, the traitors had to be driven out of the Balder Mountains.
