Reina began to think, ‘I knew he could use that skill, but...’
In fact, she wasn’t sure if it was a skill. Alley Leader wasn’t the type who would abandon a promise he made. Then it meant that this was pure control, not a skill.
‘Is that it?’ In the eyes of Reina who was a top gamer, Hyeonu’s combat itself was a mystery. It was an incomprehensible combat style. It was like...
‘meleegod...?’
The person who led Reina, a pro gamer of other virtual reality games, to Arena... The one who disappeared one day and made people feel regret—he came to mind.
‘It’s a nostalgic name.’ Reina had a dim expression on her face.
Some time passed by.
“Uwah!!!” A scream erupted as another victim emerged. Reina focused on the fight again. Alley Leader stepped back, and black pure energy gushed out from the sword in his hand, striking the opponent’s sword. Just then, another player lunged toward Alley Leader’s arms. As if predicting it, Alley Leader avoided the player’s attacks like a ghost and simultaneously moved his sword in reverse. A long cut was drawn from the waist to the shoulder of the player who attacked Alley Leader. Right after, that player fell down and couldn’t get up anymore.
From then on, it was a series of one-sided battles. There were only two masters remaining, and they couldn’t withstand Alley Leader’s ridiculous control over his pure energy. The exquisite adjustment of strength and weakness caused them to collapse helplessly.
“Are you really going to post the video?” Reina approached Hyeonu, who had finished dealing with all five people.
“Of course not. I have no intention of giving extra information to competing teams.” Hyeonu shook his head. He couldn’t do such a crazy thing. If he had to upload the video, it would be only after his professional debut. Hyeonu would never do it now.

[Kill the remnants 666/666]
The quest had come to an end. All the remnants of the leaders had been wiped out, and nearly a third of those brought to the battle by Chen Long had died. Of course, it could be called a small wound compared to the overall performance. However, a wound was still a wound. It was impossible not to feel pain just because the wound was small.
“You’ve worked hard, Hyung-nim,” Hyeonu lightly greeted Kim Seokjung, whose body was soaked with blood.
“Yes, it’s over now. Let’s call it a day. Once you get the rewards, go out and pack.” Kim Seokjung patted Hyeonu’s shoulder.
‘Shall I eat some fried chicken for the first time in a long while?’ Hyeonu smiled brightly as he wandered around looking for Chen Long.
Chen Long had a white cloth tied around his waist. It was stained red, which meant he was injured. Hyeonu approached Chen Long and asked, “Are you okay?”
“It's okay, it's okay. It is a cheap price. Now I just need to complete things. There is still a long way to go.” Chen Long laughed at Hyeonu before frowning slightly from the pain. “Is your reason for coming here the rewards?”
Hyeonu nodded. This was what he needed right now. He wanted to receive the rewards as soon as possible and take a rest.
“As you can see, I can’t give you anything right now. I can only give you corpses. You don’t want to receive something like that, right?”
Hyeonu nodded again, moving his head up and down several times. Meanwhile, the players behind Hyeonu frowned slightly. They weren’t pleased at the thought of not getting the rewards immediately.
“Then shall we come back later?” Hyeonu asked.
“Today, just give me a list of what you want. I will prepare the rewards,” Chen Long replied.
Everyone’s expression brightened when they heard his response. The set rewards, for which they had an unknown receive date, now turned into an opportunity to get what each person wanted.
“I understand. I will accept what you give me, but I don’t know if the others want anything specific,” Hyeonu said.
“Yes, I’ll take care of it for you.” Chen Long smiled when he heard Hyeonu’s words.
Hyeonu finished talking and turned around. He was going to leave. Then he thought of something and turned back to ask Chen Long: “Ah! Can I ask just one thing?”
Chen Long nodded silently.
“The Mysterious Sky Demonic Art... Will you leave it as it is?” Hyeonu asked.
The playfulness disappeared from Chen Long’s face. He stared at Hyeonu with a serious expression and said, “What can I do with it?”
“I don’t care. It doesn’t matter if you learn it or get rid of it. In the future, the Mysterious Sky Sect won’t be in the East Continent.”
“I will handle it well. I won’t even leave records behind about it. There will be no Mysterious Sky Sect in the records of the Gucheon Secret Department.”
Answering with action instead of words, Hyeonu bowed his head to Chen Long, said goodbye, and exited.

When Hyeonu emerged from the cube, he went to the living room. The living room was empty, but Yeongchan didn’t seem to be playing Arena. Hyeonu then naturally headed to the refrigerator and took out a small bottle of water. After that, he sank into the sofa. He opened the lid of the bottle of water and gulped the water down.
‘What do I do?’
Hyeonu’s thoughts were complicated. He was thinking about how to enjoy his party. First of all, the ‘who’ was important.
‘Those in the dormitory can’t come.’
He had looked at his ‘Friends’ window before logging out, and it showed that all the Crescent Moon players were online.
‘Should I invite Yeongchan?’
In terms of time, it was his period to rest. Yeongchan’s routine was to eat snacks, lie on the sofa, and watch TV during this time.
‘I will wait for a while. If he doesn’t come out, I’ll go alone.’
Hyeonu was thinking of going outside. On a day like this, he thought he should eat out. He couldn’t just eat chicken at home.
