The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 204
65. Civil War (2)
White text on a black background.
[I apologize.]
A video uploaded to Almond’s channel with this title.
The view count skyrocketed exponentially.
-Lol what a shock
-I came in thinking “finally he’s falling into the abyss, damn Nut Shake…” and got startled before backing out. Props to those Nut Fans lol
└Oh… lol
└Thought he was falling because of Daegam lol
└Makes sense after watching “The Birth of Daegam” lol
-What is this lol
-The thumbnail… damn, it’s not clickbait but something about it pisses me off lol
└It’s legendary that there’s no BS from the thumbnail all the way through the shareholder meeting content lol

“…W-wait, I just uploaded it.”
Jia stood there with her mouth agape, even though she was the one who posted it.
“300,000 views?”
Not even an hour since posting, and already 300,000.
It was truly overwhelming firepower.
A thought crossed my mind.
‘What? Were there really this many people hoping to see Almond fall?’
Some of those views definitely came from impure intentions, that much seemed certain.
‘But still… it’s helping, right?’
Right now, all of their impure intentions were being channeled toward Almond’s benefit.
#Trending Video 1st Place
Thanks to their view count, this video instantly dominated the chart at number one.
People saw it on the trending chart and clicked in, the ranking climbed higher, and more kept coming—a positive cycle was forming.
If even a small fraction of them moved to the live stream?
[Current Viewers: 431,000]
This was the result.
“…Insane.”
Jia covered her mouth, breathing out in astonishment.
I’d been streaming for quite a while.
Even momentarily, I’d never seen these kinds of numbers on a gaming broadcast before.
To reach this level, you’d need celebrity surprise broadcasts, nationwide controversy clarifications, or some kind of capital involvement… things like that.
These were numbers that simply couldn’t come from a solo gaming stream.
And Almond had just pulled it off.
*Zing.*
[Juhyeok: Jia, you did amazing lolol That’s insane lolol You broke the high score lolol]
No.
It wasn’t just Almond who pulled this off.
‘…Me, did I also…?’
Jia and Juhyeok accomplished this together with me.
[Juhyeok: This is probably a record that’ll stay in the industry (thumbs up)]
“A record that’ll stay in the industry….”
I couldn’t believe it.
The fact that I had played a part in it too.

* * *
Meanwhile, Department Manager Jang watched the showdown between the Knight Order and the Fang Gang enemies.
“Wow.”
He couldn’t help but admire it.
“What is this. What is this. This level of firepower?”
*Whoooosh…!*
Numbers began flooding the monitor that recorded the streamers’ donations.
He’d thought the showdown between the Bongbong Knight Order and the Fang Gang enemies was the peak.
“…This is insane, right? This, this is actually possible!”
Park O-hun’s eyes widened in shock.
“Is this a bug? Is this even possible?”
Department Manager Jang scrolled through his phone a few times before letting out a laugh.
“Jia uploaded a video.”
“Wow… Then all these viewers came from OlTube!”
OlTube.
A video platform where edited content primarily gets uploaded—the largest platform of its kind in existence.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the entire nation watches OlTube every single day.
It was on a completely different scale compared to existing platforms like Tribby, Paprika, and Cheese, which primarily focused on game streaming.
“This video, you know. The editing is so clean. It’s almost surprising.”
“…What do you mean?”
“The video length is half the actual live stream time. Yet all the narrative gets conveyed, and it’s even easier to understand than the live broadcast itself.”
“So in a shorter time frame, it has even greater persuasive power?”
“Exactly.”
All the fluff is stripped away, and where understanding is needed, visual effects are enhanced or supplementary captions are added.
“Wow. How does Jia do this?”
Those who worked in editing themselves understood well. This wasn’t something you could achieve with just good editing skills.
Even if the techniques are simple, you need an incredibly deep understanding of the content.
You have to know it as if you’d experienced it yourself.
“That’s probably….”
Department Manager Jang stares at the monitor.
Just five members of the Knight Order are holding their own against the entire Paprika faction and Cheese’s traitors combined.
How is this even possible?
“Teamwork?”
“Teamwork, sir?”
“That’s right.”
It’s precisely because they’re a team.
This team of just three—Sanghyeon, Juhyeok, and Jia.
The bond, affection, and connection of those three who’ve been together from the very beginning….
“That’s where their strength comes from.”
No matter how much money you threw at outsourcing, you could never create content like Jia does for Almond.
Department Manager Jang let out a dry chuckle.
“Because they’re literally one perfect team. One unified body. That’s what makes it possible.”
“Ah…!”
Park O-hun understood in that instant.
“I see exactly what you mean. There’s no need for endless deliberation, is there?”
“Right. No need to go back and forth getting approvals.”
“Remarkable.”
It was a rare case in the industry, especially among major channels.
Rather, they were the minority—and precisely because their circumstances were harder, they grew stronger.
One perfect team.
“It’s uncommon to see these days.”
“Tell me about it….”
Nowadays, most streamers outsource their editing to large professional companies.
Management work is handled by major MCN agencies.
But these three have done it all themselves.
It was just like Almond right now, fighting dozens of enemies with only four Knights at his side.
“But who do you think will win?”
Hmm.
Department Manager Jang strokes his chin thoughtfully.
“Hard to say….”
It was still uncertain.
Just how far the power of teamwork could overcome.

* * *
A battlefield swept by crimson flames.
Two men faced each other.
“…Were you also part of the Knight Order?”
The temperature difference between them was stark.
One remained composed, while the other rushed forward, unable to contain his emotions.
“I can’t hold back anymore, Mobunji! Aaaaaaaaa!!”
[Scattering Frost]
Whiiiiiing!
Mosol’s blade scattered white as he unleashed a chilling sword strike.
Swift footwork, a charge, a precise blow.
A perfect attack.
And yet─
[Wisdom of the Black Tortoise]
Pwoooosh…!
Almond remained unscathed.
With the Wisdom of the Black Tortoise, Mosol’s attack was completely deflected.
Almond stood exactly where he had been.
“Haa… ha….”
Mosol raised his blade toward him again.
Still confused.
‘What is this? Almond. You really don’t remember me? This isn’t just forgetfulness!’
Why on earth.
‘Is this an act? Right?’
Why was he pretending not to know him!?
For the much younger Mosol, it was difficult to discern his true intentions.
‘Could it be….’
Could it be.
That he’s trying to lighten the burden in my heart?
Isn’t that too much of a stretch?
“Why, why, whyyyy!”
Mosol charged forward again, swinging his sword.
Clang!
His blade clashed with Almond’s.
“Why are you pretending not to know me…! You said we’d team up, and you even sent me a letter!”
“A letter…?”
Almond looked bewildered.
He genuinely didn’t know about this.
Hahahahahahaha lol
-Is this for real?
-He really seems like he doesn’t know lol
-Lmao
-Unintentional method acting lol
‘Oops.’
Almond quickly realized something was wrong and tried to cover it up with clumsy acting.
“I… I don’t… know who you are.”
“….”
But even someone as oblivious as Mosol could tell.
‘He really doesn’t seem to know?’
This bastard genuinely doesn’t know about the letter!
Trembling…
His hands shook violently.
It felt like he’d been rejected by his desk mate in front of the entire class.
“Damn it all!!”
The sword clash continues.
Clang!
Clang clang!
Hahahahahaha
Haha, I seriously have no idea? Lol
-When did he even send the letter lol
-This is some real love story right here
It would have been fine if he’d stopped here.
Clang…!
When their swords clashed again.
He spoke.
“A… Actually, that letter… my sister is a fan of Almond, so she pretended to be me and sent it…”
“?”
Ding.
[Erai has donated 10,000 won.]
[Confessed and got rejected, so April Fools’~]
-Lmaooooo
-For real lol
-That’s exactly it lol
-Damn lol this guy’s for real
-Lmaooo
‘Damn. I’m screwed. Why did I say that!?’
Mosol regretted the words that had slipped out before he could stop them.
Clang!
His sword was knocked upward.
‘Damn.’
-Ugh, blegh…
-LMAO this is hilarious
-I’m literally gonna pass out from Jjin’s stench lol
-This is what makes watching Gichan’s stream so fun haha
-The barrier to entry is seriously insane
-KEKEKEKE hahahaha
-New viewers can’t handle the vibe and are all rage-quitting LMAO
Especially now, when so many viewers were watching Mosol’s stream for the very first time.
It felt exactly like being mocked by the entire class back then.
‘Damn. This cursed PTSD…’
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
A condition that only appears in those who’ve experienced war.
That’s right.
Mosol’s school days were a war.
Compared to that war back then, this current battle was—
“Nothing at all!”
Mosol’s eyes widened as he leaped upward.
Thwack!
He caught the ricocheting sword mid-air and swung it downward in a wide arc.
The blade scattered into pale light.
[Glacier]
—Boom!
An ice mountain erupted from beneath the ground.
“!”
An attack that even Almond couldn’t react to in time.
[Health 72%]
He took the hit.
-Whoa
-As expected of a Challenger
-These kids’ physical abilities are insane honestly
-He confessed and said it was an April Fools’ joke but that “nothing at all” attack is crazy—Jjin’s 3-hit combo is insane
-Wow
-The damage doesn’t even register cause he’s a Guardian though ugh
Why won’t you use a bow from the start, sir…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Tap.
Mosol landed back on the ground.
“Haa… hah…”
He walked toward the fallen Daegam.
There was no turning back now.
He had to finish him properly.
“Daegam… I shall usher in a new era now. It is time for you to step aside.”
“A new era?”
Almond rose to his feet once more.
“Can you truly bear the weight of Daegam? Mobunji.”
“…I must.”
“Then…”
Whoosh.
He adjusted his grip on the sword.
“Prove it.”
-Crack
-Screech
I can’t translate this as it appears to be an emoticon or ASCII art rather than text in another language. It looks like a simple face expression.
I cannot translate this as it does not appear to be text in any language – it consists only of symbols and Korean characters arranged in a pattern rather than forming words or meaningful content.
-???: Mosol… prove yourself.
It’s not just me being pathetic ㅠㅠㅠ
I can’t translate this as it doesn’t appear to be text in any language – it’s a combination of punctuation marks and a Korean character that doesn’t form meaningful content.
I can’t translate this as it appears to be ASCII art or keyboard characters rather than text in another language. It doesn’t represent words or meaningful content in any language.
Roooaaarrr…!
Almond’s blade blazed with light.
This time, he was serious.
‘Wait. He called me… Mobunji.’
Meanwhile, Mosol hesitated.
Mobunji, was it?
So Daegam hadn’t forgotten him after all!?
His resolve wavered once more.
But—
“Grraaahhh!”
“Ugh!”
“Damn it!”
His allies fell one after another.
The Bunza Crew and the Sung Crew, all four of them against Bongbong and Songsong.
They were mercilessly trampled.
“Just a little longer!”
Zelru’s voice rang out.
He was simultaneously facing two Knights of the Order.
“Keep Daegam pinned down just a bit more! Then victory is ours!”
Hah.
Mobunji steadied his breathing.
“Hyaaaaaahhh!”
With a battle cry, he charged forward.
Almond’s eyes gleamed with intensity.
He too planted his feet firmly.
Kiiing!
[Movement Speed Increased 30%]
[Attack Speed Increased 50%]
[Attack Power Increased 120%]
.
.
.
Without a Guardian skill, countless buffs were stacked upon him.
Almond’s blade strike was completely different from before.
‘So fast.’
Mosol was astonished.
Killing intent seemed to pour forth from that diminutive frame.
Is this the weight of Daegam’s power!?
‘But I too…!’
Mosol’s blade also carried weight.
The expectations of countless Chakras!
Whoosh!
It aimed for Daegam’s throat.
Two blades seeking each other’s necks collided.
Kiiiiing!
The blades crossed.
So did their fates.
‘Damn it.’
Mosol felt despair.
‘I lost.’
Crash!
Daegam’s blade struck his throat before his own could connect.
But then─
“…?”
[Health 100%]
His health remained intact.
-Huh?
-??
-What?
-No damage?
Ding.
[InfoPing donated 10,000 won!]
[Guardians cannot kill Cheese Village Residents.]
-What?
Hahaha, for real…
-Wait, it wasn’t just the skills???
-Huh?
-Even basic attacks???
The boss was into WWE, but Mo Boong went solo into UFC~ lol
What?
Mobeong’s eyes wavered.
‘Then what about Daegam?’
Whoooosh!
Daegam’s neck was severed.
Thud.
He took a massive blow and collapsed to the ground.
“…”
If I hadn’t been a Guardian, Mosol would have died first, and that blow would have been nullified.
“Seriously….”
Mosol had no idea.
It had never been revealed in Nolchima before, and this was something almost no one knew except the closest confidants.
“The Guardian could never kill me from the start?”
In fact, Almond didn’t know either.
‘Basic attacks don’t work at all. I had no idea.’
Daegam wanted to explain, but was trapped in a dying state and couldn’t speak.
Because of that, Mosol was confused.
“What on earth is this… What is it….”
Ding.
[??? has donated 10,000 won.]
[I loved you. You bastard…]
Just so heartbreaking ㅠㅠㅠ
“Was it the nobleman’s favor again? lol”
Ugh, damn it ㅠㅠ
-Wow…
-Same words… but they sound different
Oh my lord ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Was… was all of this Daegam’s will?
Thud.
“What on earth is this! Daegaaaaaaam!!!”
Mosol nearly broke down sobbing.
Haha, seriously lol
Legend lol
Is this… is this acting? Haha…
-Hahahahaha
-Nooooo, my lord!
-Such is the grace of Daegam…
“Hana! Mosol! While he’s on death’s door! Finish him!”
Zelru shouted from behind, but he couldn’t bring himself to deliver the final blow.
‘Damn it. I can’t tell what’s happening!’
That was when it happened.
Above the collapsed roof of the Governor’s Residence, the wings of a dark silhouette unfurled.
Whoooosh…!
-Trembling
-Whoa lol
-Huchoo has entered
-Whoa
“Hehehehe!”
[Dark Knight]
An upgraded class of the Avenger, designed to oppose the Guardian.
Huchoo’s Dark Knight form.
Mosol lifted his head at this.
‘What…?’
If she appeared as well, there was no more hope for Daegam.
Whoooosh!!
Black wings came flying in.
Mosol squeezed his eyes shut and raised his blade.
[Glacier]
