Chapter: 38
PK wasn't an unfamiliar term at all. However, he couldn't understand why they would form a guild for it. Did they ignore the penalties imposed on forced PVP?
"Do the penalties get stronger as the red lines accumulate?"
-Is the value doubled?
-Yeah, experience loss, gold loss, criminal status duration, all doubled.
-Criminal status (can be attacked by anyone, unable to trade, etc.)
-Can't even enter villages freely.
-After a while, you get chased by guards lol
-But they're good at hiding and moving around.
[Seolmyeongchung has donated 5,000 won.]
[Information: Depending on the number of lines, there are more restrictions within villages and fields. The Nesto vice guild master has 6. The guild master is unknown.]
"Thank you for the information."
Thanks to the viewers, he got the information he needed right away. The problem was why this crazy guild was targeting him.
Thud-
Just then, a sound came from below, behind him. Hanbit, who had sensed the presence beforehand, jumped far to the side.
"Trigger, you said he was around level 20, right?"
A female human with gauntlets on both hands frowned slightly. A red nickname was clearly visible above her head.
"You'll know if you become a loyal viewer. That's no ordinary player."
Trigger grinned playfully.
Hanbit looked at his enemies and asked, "Who sent you guys?"
"I'm your fan. I came to meet you, and this just happened."
"So someone did put you up to this?"
"My fan spirit is stronger, though. So I'll just kill you 50 times."
-I'm a fan;
-They're really crazy lol
-Wasn't it Ranger who sent them?
-Or Kim Han-seop?
-Someone must have been pissed and requested it?
-That's so pathetic;
-Give me your SNS address.
-Ignore them and force quit.
-If you force quit, they'll come and harass you every time you log in.
-It might be better to just die.
-Yeah, that's better.
Perhaps because it was a notorious guild, the viewers' opinions were divided. There wasn't a single player in sight, either.
'Was it really one of those two who sent them?'
As mentioned in the chat, there was reason to suspect them. Regardless of right or wrong, both Ranger and Kim Han-seop had their own reasons to be angry. Of course, he had no intention of letting them have their way.
Click-
Opening the information window, Hanbit allocated his stat points.
[Black Dragon - Lv.22]
[Title: None]
Strength: 25
Agility: 31
Intelligence: 25
Stamina: 10
Remaining stat points: 0
Stats invested in a slightly different form than before. The reason for raising agility was to overcome the current situation.
'Three people...'
It was difficult to gauge their level without seeing it. However, he was unfortunately familiar with fighting people.
Whoosh-
[The wind spirit Sylph shows hostility.]
An alarm popped up along with the gentle breeze around him. Sylph, who had materialized earlier, was moving with Hanbit.
"Since I was attacked first, it's okay to kill them, right?"
-Yeah, it's okay to kill them.
-You can kill them anyway if they have a red bar.
-There are places in cities or guilds that put bounties on them.
-But are you really going to fight?
-They're not named, though.
-But they're probably over level 60?
It's okay to kill them.
That answer was enough. It was only to his own disadvantage if the progress got messed up.
'The sword's condition isn't good.'
The sword was cracked all over from the earlier shock. Even if it was a swordsmanship that used wind, the sword itself still had to be intact.
'Would this be good for accumulating data?'
The play data was continuously being measured through the program. It was difficult to create an opportunity to obtain indicators from one-versus-many interpersonal combat. Since the situation had come to this, it would be best to extract as much profit as possible.
With that thought in mind, Hanbit reached out his hand towards the enemy.
"Ah, this is going to be troublesome."
Contrary to his words, Trigger's lips curled upwards.
Even in the world he had regressed through, he had seen countless screw-loose individuals. There were self-proclaimed murderers in every city. He was all too familiar with such people.
"I'll hide the screen for a moment."
Hanbit pressed a button and turned the stream completely black. Extending his hand, he chanted.
"Fire Burst!"
Whoosh-
The launched fireball flew forward. Simultaneously, the three people kicked off the ground.
Thud-
Trigger was the fastest. Hanbit, who had already surveyed the terrain, threw himself into the complex alleyway.
Swish-
Even while moving and using the blind spots, Trigger followed with incredible speed. If it weren't for his familiarity with the terrain, it would have been difficult to maintain distance.
'Did he invest almost everything in agility?'
The difference in speed was noticeable just by watching him. If it weren't for the wind's movement, it wouldn't have been strange if he had been caught already.
Whoosh-
Wind was slowly gathering around the sword in his hand. He had already decided who to take out first.
Thud-
Hanbit, who had been running, changed direction into a side street. There was a pile of fine dirt there.
"Fire Burst!"
Boom-
An explosion occurred along with the launched fireball. The caught-up dirt scattered in all directions.
"Playing dirty, huh?"
Trigger, who had been following, stopped at the loss of vision.
Whoosh-
Several daggers flew in, piercing through the dust cloud. However, Hanbit had already escaped through a hidden side path in the wall.
"It ends faster if we fight. Don't you think?"
Trigger didn't move, twirling a dagger in his hand. He was clearly trying to detect Hanbit's movements by sound.
'Keep doing that.'
There were also skills for hiding one's presence. However, by using the movement of the wind, imitation was possible.
Rustle-
Hanbit moved through the side path he knew like the back of his hand.
'Found him.'
After passing through the complex alleyways, he spotted the giant wandering around with his greatsword.
"Tsk, like a pesky fly."
The man, frowning and muttering to himself, didn't even notice Hanbit looking at him. He seemed to have no sense of danger whatsoever.
'Let's end this in one go.'
Hanbit descended to a nearby wall and held his breath. The man's strength was menacingly powerful. His reaction itself was slow, as if he had minimal investment in agility.
Whoosh-
The wind that had been gathering was now emitting a clear green light.
Thump-
Thump-
The giant moved forward with leisurely steps. Hanbit, standing in the gap of a shabby wooden fence, took his stance.
The moment the man's large body appeared, he swung the sharp wind sword.
Swish-
"Gah!"
The attack, which accurately struck his neck, led to the giant's death throes.
Thud-
The greatsword fell from the man's wide-open hand. He twitched for a moment, and then his body became blurry. It was only a moment before his form completely disappeared.
Ding-!
[Experience increased by 5,000.]
"Experience points?"
For some reason, he received experience points after defeating the player. Finding it strange, Hanbit pressed the stream button.
Click-
The moment the dark screen brightened, the chat window started scrolling like crazy.
-Oh.
-Here it comes.
-It's like a horror movie since we could only hear the sounds;
-What happened?
-Whose scream was that just now?
-Huh? Isn't that greatsword from that bear-like guy earlier?
-He defeated him?
The viewers, who had been making inferences from the sounds, grasped the situation after seeing the greatsword lying there alone.
Unlike the surprised viewers, Hanbit quietly looked at his own hand.
'It held up for a long time.'
The standard-issue sword he had been using was completely broken. This was because the sword couldn't withstand the unique recoil created by the power of the wind.
Hanbit asked the viewers, "I got experience points for defeating him, is this a bug?"
-You're the bug;
-You originally get experience points for defeating those with red bars.
-He feels like a monster in disguise.
-He's not human.
-Isn't there a limit on the number of times?
-Yeah, they blocked level grinding.
The chat window was overflowing with all sorts of information.
'He really is like a monster.'
The unexpected gain wasn't bad at all. As expected, choosing to kill them all was the right answer.
"Wow, you killed him in that short amount of time?"
Just then, a man with short hair appeared on the roof in front of him. It was Trigger, who had lost track of Hanbit.
"That's why I told you to strategize, you idiot."
Following that, his female colleague appeared behind him. She also seemed annoyed, as if she had been searching for Hanbit.
-Ganging up is unfair;
-I'm going to help right now.
-Believe in us.
-Already on my way.
Chat messages saying they would help had been appearing since earlier. However, no one actually came. At least, not among the viewers.
"Hyung!"
A familiar voice came from behind the woman. Yeonwoo was rushing over with a sword in hand.
"I'll help you!"
-Roper returns.
-Roper who went to the bathroom is different.
-Reliable? Reliable.
-Judging by his looks, he'll last 2 seconds.
-Black Dragon hyung "Do it for me"
"That guy's already here?"
The woman turned her head and reacted as if it was bothersome. Then, twirling her gauntleted hand, she walked towards Yeonwoo.
"Trigger, you take care of Black Dragon."
"Don't finish too quickly. I want to play a bit too."
With just a brief conversation, they decided who to take on.
"Come at me!"
Yeonwoo bravely raised his weapon. His courage was commendable, but the outcome was predictable.
'I won't be able to drag this out for long.'
Judging from her movements earlier, the woman wasn't ordinary either. It would be a tough fight for Yeonwoo, who lacked experience in human combat.
"Trying to help? It'll be tough."
Trigger, standing leisurely, smirked.
"I'll help too!"
At that moment a man appeared on the roof.
"Oh!"
Above the head of the man who landed in front of Yeonwoo, the nickname 'Kim Jaeha' was floating.
-Oh.
-He came to help.
-Hammer Man ㅠㅠ
-Reliable.
-But won't he be targeted by the Nesto Guild?
-This is loyalty.
Kim Jaeha's appearance was quite surprising even to Hanbit.
It seemed most players avoided PK guilds as much as possible. Did that mean his connection with Kim Jaeha was that much more important?
'Anyway, this is good.'
Kim Jaeha's combat abilities weren't that great. However, he was someone with excellent level, stats, and fighting spirit. If he could just buy some time, it would be easier to handle things on this side.
Slide-
Hanbit threw away the broken standard-issue sword. And lowering his stance, he reached for the greatsword that had fallen to the ground.
"Are you really a newbie? It'll be meaningless with your strength stat,” Trigger said in a condescending tone.
Ignoring his words, Hanbit grabbed the hilt of the greatsword.
-?
-What are you doing?
-That's Rank 3, so you need at least 50 strength, right?
-Yeah, the damage won't be applied properly.
-Throw it away, quickly;
The viewers also seemed flustered and tried to stop him. This was because if you equipped an item that didn't meet the stat requirements, its performance would be drastically reduced.
Hanbit was also well aware of this penalty, but he was aiming for something else.
Ding-!
Just then, an alarm rang out that only Hanbit could hear. Turning his gaze, he looked at the single line of message that appeared.
