The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 228
72. The Closing Ceremony (3)
Around the time the Mang-sa-yong-ryong invaded Cheese Village.
Mosol, the current Prime Minister, drew his sword and rushed out to resist.
“…!”
However, after seeing its size.
He realized this was not something to be resisted.
“What… what do I do?”
lol
-What is that thing
-Gasp
-This can’t be happening
-Huh?
-We should run?
Mosol, who had played many games, quickly understood.
This was an enemy to flee from.
“But… there’s a village here.”
However, if he fled now, the village would be devastated.
The Mang-sa-yong-ryong seemed to harbor a grudge against Cheese Village, tearing up and overturning all the ground.
Kwaaaaaaaa!!
Its breath shot forth not as fire or anything else, but purely in the form of light.
Everything in its path simply vanished upon impact.
That area was left hollow and empty, with nothing remaining.
“I… I still… I have to fight!”
Mosol charged forward.
Clang!
He drew his sword forward and shouted.
“Chargeeeeeee!!”
Following him, the other Cheese forces also charged.
“Waaaaaaaa!”
The army’s morale was remarkably high given the circumstances.
“That damned Mang-sa-yong-ryong! Kill it!!”
They all harbored sufficient personal grudges against the Mang-sa-yong-ryong.
“Everyone! Give me your strength!”
They believed this was a situation where Chakra would activate properly.
The final battle to protect Cheese Village.
They expected the big players would move for them.
However─
“Huh?”
“What?”
The support was flooding in, yet the function had been lost.
“What is this….”
The mocking laughter of Mang-sa-yong-ryong echoed through the air.
“Your resolve has been severed. Foolish ones.”
-Scary
-Gasp
-This doesn’t work either?
-Damn it, data charges!
-These telecom bastards…
-Ah, gotta pay to send a message lol
-Get a 5G plan lol
The surface residents, unaware of the situation below, were thrown into panic.
‘Damn it. Honestly, I’ve been awake this whole time thinking I’d make a fortune in the final battle.’
‘And now we’re losing this donation opportunity?’
‘Are they really this serious about it! Cheese Village!’
Before they were Cheese Village residents, they were Streamers.
Naturally, they had expected massive viewer participation in the final world boss raid content.
But they never imagined a situation where that avenue would be blocked.
Their morale shattered in an instant.
“Can we… can we win this?”
“Ah, I’m suddenly feeling sleepy.”
“We did stream for quite a while today….”
Mang-sa-yong-ryong opened his maw wide and roared.
“Then disappear!”
A jet-black breath beam was unleashed.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The residents, their spirits broken and hesitating, were deleted on the spot.
This was not merely a metaphor.
[User Kkosireogi’s data has been deleted.]
[User Amure’s data has been deleted.]
[User Oneuldo’s data has been deleted.]
Logs appeared in the server chat window.
They were truly deleted.
They did not resurrect.
Everyone was engulfed in shock.
“In… insane?”
“…What. De… deleted?”
Cheese Village, where even death allowed rebirth.
As long as beds were properly furnished, one could be reborn anytime and continue living.
That utopia existed only until Mang-sa-yong-ryong appeared.
Now the real battle begins.
“Until now, you’ve existed and breathed without paying any price.”
Whoooosh!
Mang-sa-yong-ryong takes flight once more, his colossal black wings fluttering.
The entire form of a being larger than the village itself spreads across the sky.
“All existence carries responsibility for being. Even insignificant plants and insects offer something to this world in exchange for their existence. What do you offer?”
Moonlight, completely obscured by his body, darkness descends.
It was as if a curtain call upon the village.
As if declaring that the stage has ended, and now it’s time to draw the curtain.
Whoooosh!
A massive magic circle forms near Mang-sa-yong-ryong’s maw.
“You offer nothing, yet you stand upon this world. You are beings that should cease to exist.”
KWAAAAAAAAA!
The breath passing through the magic circle grows even more enormous.
A black curtain of destruction engulfs the village.
“Flee, flee!”
Mosol shouted to all the Cheese Village residents.
“Where to!? It covers almost the entire area!”
Mosol had witnessed the mechanism of Mang-sa-yong-ryong’s previous breath erasing blocks.
The surface blocks were completely deleted, but beyond that, and further still, the power gradually diminished.
“Ah, downward! Dig into the ground and take shelter!”
Everyone grabbed their pickaxes and dug downward.
“It’s coming!”
KWAKWAKWANG!!!
The black breath sweeps across all directions as it passes.
All the residents burrowed into the tunnels they had dug.
!
Mosol’s order proved correct.
The surface area touched by the breath, and approximately three blocks beyond it, were affected.
Of course, not everyone managed to dig fast enough.
[Tuna Can’s data has been deleted.]
[Oguogu’s data has been deleted.]
[Balloon Gum’s data has been deleted.]
“The Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism!?”
Mosol’s face turned pale.
-Oh no, Kkeom
-Even in this situation lol the Culture Minister lol
Minister position vacant lol
-Culture Ministry lol
Cheese Village had lost their storyteller.
“…Damn it!”
Thud!
Mosol pounded the dirt blocks in the tunnel with his fists, seething with rage.
“At this rate, we’ll have no choice but to dig deeper underground and live there, won’t we?”
It was obvious what would happen if time continued like this.
The breath of the Mang-sa-yong-ryong, reinforced by the magic circle, would keep firing, and the surface would continue to erode away.
The residents of Cheese Village would have to abandon their surface homes and hide underground.
That’s when it happened.
Ding.
Chat messages from the surviving survivors appeared.
[Takoyaki: Can we still use server chat? The Determined Party needs to come back?]
[Jello: Even if you do that, the Determined Party can’t see it… There are restrictions because of the Quest.]
[Takoyaki: Can’t Jello just look and tell them?]
[Zelo: Um… I’m not Zelo, I’m Zela? hehe]
Mosol was reading that chat too.
Seeing the name Zelra, he immediately understood what the situation was.
“…She’s dead.”
Hahahaha, crazy
Is Jello even in Cheese Village???ㅋㅋㅋ
No lol
Jella lol
-What now? So communication is cut off?
-If Jello died, something must have happened underground too
-The rest are probably Paprika so they can’t see either
The Determined Party couldn’t use server chat, and Paprika couldn’t see it in the first place.
Communication between underground and surface had been severed.
Then someone spoke.
[Dotorimuk: Jello. Where is that location? Could it be the Library of Eternity and Moment?]
It wasn’t exactly the library, but it was an area connected to it.
[Jello: Huh? How did you know?]
[Dotorimuk: I can go there.]
[Jello: How?]
[Dotorimuk: My job is an Adventurer. I can open portals.]
There was something like that?
Jello was startled and sat dazed for a moment before typing a response.
[Jello: What a cool job]
-Nice
What a cool job lol
Hahahaha
-Real
-(Cheers)
[Jello: But it might be dangerous to go alone. It’s not exactly a library… you’ll need to head to the ancient city ruins.]
[Dotorimuk: I can go there.]
Dotorimuk had already discovered the area through his adventures.
[Jello: You knew all this, so why didn’t you do anything?]
Jello was flabbergasted.
He had already visited all the key locations.
Why hadn’t Dotorimuk taken any initiative until now?
[Dotorimuk: I thought this was a game about making fertile soil.]
Well, he’d been so absorbed in creating fertile land that he simply ignored everything else.
hahahahahahahaha
-It is a game about making fertile soil though
hahahahaha lol hahaha
-That’s true
-It always was
-Who would’ve thought something this incredible was hidden in a place like Cheese Village
[Dotorimuk: It’s difficult to go alone, so I’ll share my coordinates. Those closest to me, please join up. We’ll all take the portal together.]
It seemed he couldn’t travel alone.
Soon after, Dotorimuk posted the coordinates.
Mosol’s eyes widened when he saw them.
“Huh…? Me, it’s me. I’m close by!”
Mosol frantically typed in the chat.
[Mosol: I’m right nearby! I’ll break through the wall and head over!]
But Mosol wasn’t the only one nearby.
[Cutie Pie: What about me?]
[Takoyaki: I’m literally right next to it lol]
[Miho: I’m close too! I’m coming!]
Several others seemed able to join as well.
[Dotorimuk: Perfect. Five total. That works out nicely lol]
* * *
Meanwhile, in the underground ruins.
Everyone here was debating the true nature of the Quest.
It started with this.
“We were supposed to kill the Mang-sa-yong-ryong. But the Mang-sa-yong-ryong hasn’t appeared at all.”
Almond’s observation left everyone bewildered.
The core of the Quest was clearly to stop the Mang-sa-yong-ryong.
“But what we’re actually doing is reviving Tribby’s city.”
What they were doing now was reviving Tribby’s city.
At first glance, these two seemed like the same thing, but in reality they were completely different.
The two had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
In other words, they were suddenly doing something completely unrelated to the Quest.
“The Mang-sa-yong-ryong definitely came.”
Almond spoke with conviction.
Everyone had heard its roar after all.
“It must have come to the surface. It’s probably attacking the village right now.”
-Creepy
-That makes sense
-Almondil finally getting his moment!?
-Even stone breaks if you hit it a hundred times lol
-Wait, didn’t someone log off and another person log in earlier?
Almondil’s impromptu deduction class had suddenly begun.
His rapidly spinning mind was so sharp that viewers even joked someone else must have logged in.
Almond’s lips curled upward with confidence as he headed toward the climax of his deduction.
“I think I know who the mastermind behind this game is.”
“…!?”
Everyone froze.
“A… a mastermind!?”
“What do you mean…”
So there was a mastermind in this game.
“While Cheese Village was collapsing, who made us revive Tribby?”
“…!”
Everyone’s mind conjured the same person.
‘Could it be Triana?’
She had always been a strange existence from the beginning.
Despite being an NPC, she was human, and a complete, proper human rather than some fractional being.
Snap!
Almond pointed at the mastermind and revealed the answer.
“Orange.”
-?
-??
-Huh?
Haha, you got me.
That’s not it lol
Damn, haha
“Ah… Oh no! Almond! This is too much, isn’t it!? I was just running around like a dog, trying my best!”
But once Almond’s deduction caught fire, it wouldn’t stop.
“You’re keeping us locked in here. Saying you want to save Tribby… but you’re actually digging a trap.”
“W-what trap are you talking about? What could I possibly do here!”
Hmm? That was true.
Orange couldn’t do anything alone here.
‘Not alone, then.’
Almond began squeezing out more deductions.
“Reinforcements.”
“Pardon?”
“Reinforcements are coming. Until then, you’re keeping us bound here, and Cheese faces off against Mang-sa-yong-ryong in a final battle with weakened strength.”
He also believed Paprika would be included as an opponent in that final fight.
“No, what evidence is there for this!? Fighting Paprika again!?”
Orange felt wronged, but this wasn’t entirely baseless.
“Well, this was content created as the foundation for the platform rivalry, wasn’t it?”
A project to strengthen bonds among Cheese Streamers for the upcoming platform rivalry with Paprika.
All the residents, including Almond, had heard it that way.
The Knight Order members, convinced by those words, rose from their seats and approached.
“Right? Now that you mention it, that makes sense?”
“Wow. Man… I totally got played.”
Resong-i and Hongsong-i, of course.
“Hey. Orange. You’ve been lying a lot more, haven’t you? Huh?”
Even Danbong felt betrayed by Orange.
Orange vehemently denied it.
“No. I’m telling you it’s not true!? If you kill me, we all die here!!”
That’s when it happened.
Uuuuung…!
Suddenly, a massive rift opened in the middle of the ruins.
A portal appeared.
Almond cried out.
“I told you! The reinforcements are coming!”
lol
-Whoa
What’s with the almond tension lol so hyped
-Wow
-I didn’t think it would turn out like this lol
-What is it??
-Almondil! Almondil! Almondil!
-Wait, how did it end up like this???
After painstaking effort, Almondil finally completed his deduction.
The viewers who had been with him through this incredible time couldn’t help but be moved.
They began sending donations.
Boom!
[Detective has donated 500,000 won!]
[Finally Almondil gets to shine!?]
Boom boom!
[Rubisword has donated 1,000,000 won!]
[Deduction? Almondil! Strategy? The clever young man!]
The Knight Order was completely moved by such a brilliant deduction.
“Kill this bastard first!”
Danbong shouted.
“Yes!”
The Knight Order raised their weapons and approached Orange.
That was when it happened.
“Huh? Why is everyone fighting!?”
“…?”
Everyone’s weapons froze in an instant.
It wasn’t Paprika who emerged from the portal, but the Cheese Village residents.
They explained the reason they had come.
“….”
Almond froze.
-This is ridiculous lol
-So that’s what it was lol
-This is absurd
-Seriously
-This guy needs to be restrained
-Almondil, refund the donations~!
-lol this is literally donation fraud
-Let’s just go eat instead?
-Ding~
