Chapter 133

 

Waaaaah!

 

Thud thud thud thud thud!

 

The final stage unfolded in the middle of war.

 

Spears and swords clashed everywhere,

 

and the contents of bottles exploded throughout the battlefield.

 

【Starting the test!】

 

【Final Stage: Assassinate the King of Persia!】

 

【Test Level: 10】

 

When Jo Sang-jin cleared level 1, the number of enemy soldiers was only in the dozens.

 

At that point, it was closer to a neighborhood meeting than an army.

 

But as the level gradually increased, the Persian Army’s numbers kept growing.

 

Moreover,

 

Trumpeeeeet!

 

Giant mammoths that supposedly existed in ancient times were trampling the Spartan Army.

 

It was a difficult situation in many ways.

 

He needed to infiltrate the rear while the Spartan Elite Soldiers bought time,

 

but at this rate, the war would end while he was still taking the back route.

 

‘Kim Si-hwan had good reason to push himself.’

 

Perhaps it was because of all the humiliation he’d endured.

 

Earlier, Kim Si-hwan had approached this test with a do-or-die determination.

 

To the point where he needed his colleagues’ support when getting out of the capsule.

 

Even so, conquering level 10 was too much.

 

The time it took for the Spartan Handful Unit to be completely wiped out was much faster than the speed of infiltrating and running through the rear.

 

‘The root of all these problems is…’

 

Trumpeeeeet!

 

The other Persian Army soldiers were troublesome too, but those mammoths rampaging across the battlefield were the main culprits.

 

So Hae-rang asked Dorothy.

 

Whether he absolutely had to follow the predetermined route in this stage.

 

Dorothy said there was no need to do so.

 

The system was just showing the optimal route, she said.

 

Even from Hae-rang’s perspective, the path shown by the game window was quite reasonable.

 

But there was something missing from within,

 

and that was a ‘clever move.’

 

“I’m going.”

 

Hae-rang gripped a sword and shield in both hands and charged straight toward the front.

 

Everyone watching doubted their eyes.

 

In a stage where you’re supposed to infiltrate from behind for assassination,

 

breaking through the front?

 

The level 10 Persian legion was so numerous that counting them individually was impossible.

 

Since this was the final scene, massive amounts of data were being processed.

 

The number easily reached several thousand.

 

Even for Hae-rang, taking down all these troops seemed impossible.

 

Swish!

 

He split the enemy before him with his spear,

 

Thud!

 

He swung his shield to crush his opponent’s chest.

 

A spectacular performance reminiscent of a movie scene.

 

It was impressive enough for one of the management members to applaud,

 

but unless he repeated this act a thousand times, the stage couldn’t be cleared.

 

That’s why Hae-rang set his movement pattern toward the front.

 

Toward the siege weapon owned by the Persian army.

 

To where the large harpoon with long ropes attached was located.

 

“Get out of the way.”

 

Whirr!

 

Hae-rang drew the Heavenly Demon Divine Art up to the Second Level.

 

Instantly, everything around him began flowing slowly like slow motion.

 

Hae-rang’s senses were so heightened that even time itself seemed to take notice.

 

Swish!

 

When he spun the spear in his hand once, all the Persian soldiers around him were split in half as if by magic.

 

Hae-rang’s main weapon was undoubtedly the sword,

 

but that didn’t mean he handled other weapons poorly.

 

Hae-rang had killed level 10 beasts even with a spear carved from a tree branch.

 

Now that he held a properly crafted spear in his hand, it was no less impressive than a famous sword.

 

“Hah!”

 

Hae-rang once again drew a circle with his spear tip.

 

This time, killing wasn’t the purpose.

 

It was to block their approach and buy time.

 

Having made the surroundings retreat, Hae-rang pressed close to the siege weapon.

 

Then he discarded the spear and gripped the harpoon in his hand.

 

‘Heavenly Demon Divine Art. Third Achievement.’

 

Crackle!

 

Sparks flew from Hae-rang’s blue eyes.

 

Every time he turned his head, bright blue afterimages were etched around his eyes.

 

‘There’s only one chance.’

 

In the movie, the King of Sparta staked his life on the final sniping.

 

The current situation probably wouldn’t be any different.

 

Hae-rang’s highly concentrated gaze pierced through to one spot.

 

It seemed like his gaze alone could bore a hole.

 

Grip.

 

Hae-rang gripped the harpoon with force.

 

Most of the Heavenly Demon Cult’s martial arts consisted of swordsmanship.

 

As for spear techniques, there were only a few that involved thrusting and swinging.

 

But there was just one.

 

There was something that suited a situation like this,

 

‘Piercing Hole Calling Night.’

 

Pierce a hole in the sun to call forth the night.

 

The only spear throwing technique that existed within the Heavenly Demon Cult.

 

The harpoon, filled with the full power of Third Achievement, flew up as if to pierce the sun.

 

Swoosh!

 

Naturally, it didn’t actually reach the sun.

 

But it could pierce through the desired target.

 

The mammoth’s massive tusk, curved round like the sun.

 

Hae-rang aimed for the creature’s protruding tusks from the very beginning.

 

Buuuuuu!

 

The panicked mammoth raised its front legs and let out a cry.

 

This was also something he had anticipated.

 

The moment the mammoth lifted its head upward,

 

the rope connected to the harpoon became taut like a bowstring.

 

Whoosh!

 

Hae-rang kicked off the ground and soared into the air.

 

With the Divine Movement Technique called Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step, plus the mammoth’s massive strength added to the rope,

 

Hae-rang literally flew through the sky.

 

With acrobatic movement, Hae-rang spun three or four times in the air,

 

and finally landed in the mammoth’s cockpit.

 

“…!”

 

The Persian NPCs in the cockpit all froze in unison.

 

NPCs are beings that only process pre-programmed information.

 

There was no way they had an input value for ‘player attacking the mammoth cockpit.’

 

Hae-rang kicked away the NPCs who had frozen with indifferent faces.

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

Surprisingly, there seemed to be input values for falling situations.

 

The three Persian Army members who had been in the cockpit all screamed the same cry in unison.

 

“What??”

 

Everyone at the on-site location was stunned by this shocking development.

 

Among them, the most surprised were the developers who had actually created the game.

 

“Is it possible to climb on top of the mammoth?”

 

“He’s showing us directly, so… it must be possible, right?”

 

“Since we mapped the entire battlefield, there’s nothing that shouldn’t be possible, but…”

 

Completely excluding the back routes they had created for him to take,

 

he had broken through the front and hijacked the mammoth.

 

This wasn’t the development that the developers, including Choi Ji-man, had expected.

 

Their frozen expressions were no different from the NPC who had been riding the mammoth.

 

“Sorry about the tusks.”

 

Hae-rang, who had taken over the cockpit, slowly stroked the mammoth’s head.

 

It was similar to when he had calmed horses in ‘Assassin Revenge’.

 

Had Hae-rang’s sincerity gotten through?

 

Or was it because it had just experienced his deadly spear throwing technique?

 

The mammoth obediently followed Hae-rang’s commands.

 

“From now on, I am your master.”

 

The reins connected to the mammoth’s leash.

 

It had taken the strength of three people to pull those reins.

 

But Hae-rang pulled the reins skillfully as if keeping rhythm.

 

Horses.

 

Elephants.

 

Mammoths.

 

‘You have to read their breathing to handle them.’

 

You need to feel like you’re breathing together with the animal you’re riding to control it.

 

Hae-rang had ridden various beasts from the North Sea Ice Palace and Southern Barbarian Beast Palace, racing against their masters.

 

Through that process, he knew better than anyone how to handle animals.

 

Any breathing animal could be used like his own limbs.

 

Hae-rang’s clumsiness with car driving wasn’t unrelated to this either.

 

Machines don’t really have breathing, after all.

 

“Let’s go. Over there.”

 

Hae-rang skillfully pulled the reins and turned the mammoth’s head.

 

The new direction was toward the mammoth’s former master.

 

It was where the King of Persia was located.

 

Trumpeeeeet!

 

Something extraordinary happened that even the developers hadn’t anticipated.

 

The mammoth led by Hae-rang turned the nearby battlefield into complete chaos.

 

“Ugh, aaaahhh!”

“Get out of the way!”

 

Thanks to the predetermined algorithms embedded in each character, no bugs occurred.

 

They faithfully executed the information that had been input in advance.

 

‘If an existence that absolutely cannot be faced appears, flee immediately.’

 

As the mammoth went on a rampage, a path was created like the Red Sea parting.

 

At the end of that path, the King of Persia stood.

 

“Xerxes.”

 

The Persian invader famous for saying ‘I am merciful.’

 

The King of Persia, who had been looking down at the battlefield with his upper body half-reclined, suddenly shot up from his seat.

 

A towering figure well over 2 meters tall with a face covered in all sorts of ornaments.

 

From head to toe, he was adorned with ‘power,’

 

but right now, his face was clearly showing bewilderment.

 

Trumpeting!

 

The mammoth that Hae-rang rode charged forward relentlessly.

 

Brave warriors tried to block its path here and there,

 

but they were swept away by the mammoth’s front legs and long trunk as if hit by a tsunami.

 

Thwack! Thud!

 

“Aaahhh!”

 

The panicked Xerxes swung his arm widely as he gave orders.

 

Soon, siege weapons firmly blocked his front.

 

Though they weren’t made for defense, they seemed capable of stopping the mammoth’s advance.

 

But Hae-rang wasn’t flustered.

 

Because he had already reached within the ‘range’ he had calculated.

 

Crack!

 

Hae-rang pulled the reins with force.

 

The mammoth raised its head high and stiffened its tail.

 

Trumpet!

 

Crack!

 

Hae-rang, who had once more unleashed the Third Achievement of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, leaped down from the passenger seat.

 

Hae-rang, who slid down the mammoth’s forehead like he was sliding, unfolds the Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step divine movement technique.

 

Thang!

 

His two legs run along the mammoth’s tail.

 

Track and field long jump.

 

Or ski jumping.

 

With that kind of feeling, Hae-rang sprints forward and kicks off the end of the tail to soar into the air.

 

Whoosh!

 

The Persian King’s face turns black.

 

That wasn’t merely a figurative expression.

 

Hae-rang, who had leaped to a dizzyingly high place,

 

completely blocked the sunlight that had been shining down on Xerxes.

 

‘This is the final strike.’

 

There were several ways to eliminate a target from such a high sky.

 

The Descending Strike Technique of the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Breaking Sword would be good,

 

or he could use Spear Throwing Technique with the spear in his hand.

 

But Hae-rang made a different choice.

 

What kind of people were in this current test.

 

He recalled what name this game he was playing carried.

 

‘The skill that will crown the finale of the Assassin Series.’

 

A technique of jumping down from a height so dizzying it could cause vertigo.

 

What could be called the symbol of the Assassin Series,

 

‘Leap of Faith.’

 

Hae-rang spun once greatly in the sky and raised the spear he was holding high with both hands.

 

Like a constellation that rules the world manifesting in human form to deliver judgment,

 

he mercilessly drove the spear into Xerxes’ chest.

 

Crack!

 

“Kugh!”

 

Xerxes, whose hands had been trembling violently, soon rolls his eyes back.

 

The portable throne that hundreds of people had been supporting sways.

 

The shock that Hae-rang had just delivered passed through the King of Persia to the subordinates below.

 

Kuuuuuung!

 

Xerxes’ massive throne that symbolized infinite power completely collapsed.

 

The scene that the Spartans of the past had desperately wished for,

 

was now recreated by Hae-rang’s hand.

 

【Stage Clear! Cheon Hae-rang has passed Level 10!】

 

【There are no more levels to conquer!】

 

【Ending Stage test!】

 

Pusheek.

 

The Capsule door opened, but Hae-rang savored the lingering feeling for a moment.

 

‘This is really fun.’

 

Thanks to the EX Capsule, he had drawn out all his capabilities.

 

The sense of achievement from using 100% of his power to reach his desired goal.

 

That satisfying feeling was irreplaceable.

 

‘I think I’ll miss this a little.’

 

Hae-rang slowly stroked the EX Capsule’s seat.

 

Until Hae-rang finished savoring the moment and stood up from his seat,

 

everyone remained speechless.

 

Only after Hae-rang returned to his original spot and sat down in his chair,

 

did someone finally break the long silence.

 

“Bravo.”

 

A voice soaked in admiration.

 

The owner of that voice was Alex, the CEO of Gonau Soft.
