Just like the universe, the black sword moved more spectacularly than ever before—from left to right and from right to left. The trajectory of the Mysterious Sky Sword covered the air regardless of whether it was above, below, left, or right. Accordingly, blue and red trajectories also appeared.
“Oof!”
Every time they blocked Hyeonu’s strikes, Beyond and Matsumoto would make groans of pain. They couldn’t stand it. The power in the light-moving single-edged sword was so heavy that it could be mistaken for a blunt object.
‘I’m getting used to it,’ they thought.
However, this was it. Surprisingly, the attacks were very simple. They didn’t reach the level of the person who was ranked first in the arena and an undefeated player. It was just that they couldn’t cope with Alley Leader’s high stats and attack power.
“It isn’t as complicated as one might think.”
“I agree. It seems players of this level are also in the master rank.”
The two men whispered while they were far away from Alley Leader. They seemed to be finding a ray of sunlight in despair. Of course, they would die today. However, they were hopeful they could win the next time they met.
Matsumoto asked, “Are you shooting the video? I’ve been doing so since we’ve started.”
Beyond nodded as he too had started filming from the moment Team Hell ran away. “Of course. We have to gain as much as possible before we die. Then we will have fewer regrets.”
The two of them had only fought together briefly, but in the meantime, they had become quite close. This was a bond gained by dealing with their common enemy known as Alley Leader.
“Then let’s go again. We must pour out everything without caring,” Matsumoto said.
Beyond nodded at Matsumoto’s words. The current humiliation wasn’t important. The only important thing was that they could pay it back later.
“I’ll go first this time,” Beyond declared and ran toward Alley Leader. Beyond thought about all the trump cards he had kept hidden so far. He had a buff type skill that he acquired from an instance dungeon he accidentally came across.
‘Ram of Destruction.’
Ram of Destruction was a good buff skill. It only lasted a few moments, but his stats were doubled. However, it was a skill that should only be used in certain situations since his stats would decrease by half for 30 minutes after the duration of the skill was over.
[Ram of Destruction has been used.]
[All stats have increased.]
‘I can hold on like this.’
Now that all his stats had doubled, it seemed that he could last against Alley Leader’s attacks. No, he had to endure unconditionally. It took less than a minute for him to realize how arrogant he had been. His confident heart was broken when Alley Leader’s sword headed toward him.
Surrounded by black pure energy, the Mysterious Sky Sword cut through Beyond’s defenseless body. Beyond’s body was split in two, and blood scattered everywhere like spring flowers.
Matsumoto saw it and got goose bumps. It was only one exchange of attack and defense, yet this alone caused Beyond’s sword to fly away before he was cut in half by Alley Leader.
‘This is crazy.’
Just then, Matsumoto’s eyes widened even further as Alley Leader appeared like a ghost in front of him. Alley Leader’s sword contained the momentum of splitting the world in half. Matsumoto miraculously managed to raise his sword to stop Alley Leader from attacking.
However, it was up to there. Matsumoto lost strength in his hand and dropped his sword. He hurriedly lowered his head. Due to his urgency, his hands shook, and he couldn’t pick up his sword properly. When Matsumoto finally picked up his sword and looked up, his gaze met Alley Leader’s eyes that were filled with black flames.
Blood soared like a fountain from Matsumoto’s cut neck.
“Uwah! It’s over. Tang-E, come out. Pick up the items.”
Now was the pleasant looting time.
***
As Tang-E picked up the items, Hyeonu leaned halfway down against a tree.
‘I feel cool inside.’
Hyeonu felt like he had been suffocating for weeks. It was even more so because it was a mistake that hadn’t been made by him.
‘I’m glad it’s cleaned up.’
The Mano Guild was a true spy. It had been easier for Hyeonu to organize his plan thanks to the information Patrick sent him from time to time. He often sent Hyeonu the details of the movements and plans of Five Stars and the Zenith Guild.
‘I am forced to work with Mano. The other two are completely finished.’
This was natural. Mano proved they weren’t betrayers. Hyeonu was the one who brought them into this situation, so he had to take responsibility for it. Meanwhile, Five Stars and Zenith were over. At least, until the end of the main scenario, they would never be able to reappear.
Hyeonu’s current wicked deeds figure was zero.
‘At least 20 of those who died today had over 20 points.’
This meant that many players of the two guilds who died in Hyeonu’s hands had the mark of a murderer. At this moment, Hyeonu showed a subtle smile as he had a thought.
‘They bought it well.’
Today, Hyeonu didn’t show proper control apart from his technique of reflecting the opponent’s pure energy. This was a very calculating act. It was a deliberate move to make rumors about himself.
-Alley Leader isn’t powerful because of his control but because of his high stats and items.
The reason for this rumor was simple. It was to throw them a rice cake called hope when he made his professional debut. In the Pro League, all contestants had the same stat points in PvP. The only difference was in distribution. This was why each player’s skills shone even more. Those who heard the rumors from this video would have preconceived notions about Hyeonu. Then Hyeonu would break that preconceived notion in his debut match.
