Chapter 45

“!”

Arrows flying without warning.

Elogio’s eyes widened momentarily, but soon regained composure.

Because the trajectory of those arrows wasn’t aimed at him.

Thwack!

The arrows struck Viego’s back as he stood there dead.

Viego’s body, which had been swaying several times, soon crashed to the ground.

Thud!

Several silhouettes appeared across from Elogio.

The one in the center revealed a greasy voice.

“What… is going on here?”

A man with slicked-back hair grown to his shoulders.

As if he had lived a rough life, one side of his face bore a long scar and an artificial eye.

The man walked over, checked Viego’s corpse, and scratched his head.

“He was already dead. No wonder he was just standing there.”

Hae-rang tilted his head in confusion, while viewers who knew the scenario were getting excited once again.

-Ah, what’s the point of coming to help after everyone’s already dead lol

-Hahahaha the worst entrance ever!

-Originally it’s supposed to be the role that saves the protagonist from crisis lol

-Multiple arrows flying pabapak! Hero appears! That’s gone now

-Look at that awkward expression lol He came all the way to rescue them but they’re all already dead

-Just how far will this twisted scenario go!

From the atmosphere, they didn’t seem to be enemies.

Elogio asked politely.

“Thank you for helping. Do you know me by any chance?”

Then the man with the artificial eye burst into rough laughter.

“Wahaha! Elogio! Don’t you recognize me? It’s Uncle Wario!”

“Uncle Wario?”

Elogio also smiled warmly.

He had actually been looking for him to take care of his family.

Wario spread his arms and hugged Elogio.

“I haven’t seen you for so long, I seem to have forgotten your face. You’ve really grown so much!”

After briefly greeting his family, Wario returned with a serious expression.

“But what happened to these guys? I heard news about Viego’s men and hurriedly came out to meet you, but they’re all dead here.”

“I took care of them all.”

“Elogio, you alone?”

“Yes.”

“How admirable. It wasn’t just your body that grew. Right?”

-Hahahaha so sweet, so sweet!

-Beyond sweet, isn’t it a bit greasy? My stomach feels a bit queasy;;

-Wow, he doesn’t usually talk like that. Why did you take such a dangerous path. Why are your skills like that. He starts by scolding the hell out of you!

-For real, when I was playing you nitpicked everything I did. No wonder I’m pissed.

-Why are you only sweet to the attention seeker, uncle ㅡㅡ

-Hahaha, wouldn’t you do the same? You’d just slice through everything by yourself even when you’re supposed to help others

-I’d praise myself too. If that attention seeker turns away, they won’t be able to handle it themselves, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

For a while, the in-game footage and viewers’ chat continued.

Elogio’s group arrived at their destination, Gioni Villa.

Wario secretly called Elogio aside.

“I heard about your father’s matter. I’m truly sorry.”

“I got my revenge, but there’s still work to be done. I’ll send the family to a city where they can settle anew, and I’ll stay here.”

“What do you mean by work to be done?”

“Uberto said something before he died. He said if I collect the Codex Pages, the secrets of this world will be revealed.”

“Oh, Elogio.”

Wario’s remaining eye trembled greatly.

His expression changed moment by moment as if suddenly filled with intense emotion.

“Uncle?”

“This must be what they call fate. It wasn’t a coincidence that your father and Uberto had Codex Pages. Both of them were representing their respective groups.”

“Groups? Wasn’t father someone who worked at a bank?”

“That was just a deception. Your father has been active as an Assassin since his youth. You can tell just by looking at the clothing and Hidden Blade he passed down to you, can’t you?”

“…I see. I did think it wasn’t something an ordinary person would possess. Then, what about Uberto?”

“He belongs to the Templar Knights. The Templar Knights and Assassin Brotherhood have been playing the role of power’s shadow for the past hundreds of years. Your father’s unjust death was also the Templar Knights’ scheme.”

“Then….”

Elogio’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

“My revenge is not yet complete.”

He had thought it was Uberto’s personal affair, but now he could see there was an organization controlling him.

It was the moment Elogio gained a new target.

Wario lightly patted Elogio’s shoulder.

“The remaining Codex Pages are held by the Templar Knights. Either way, they’re opponents you’ll have to defeat.”

For revenge and because of the Codex Pages, a confrontation with the Templar Knights was unavoidable.

This was the ‘destiny’ Wario had spoken of.

“I’ve also been active as an assassin like your father. There are many here who hide their identities and operate as assassins. Think of them all as your comrades.”

“Then we’re going to meet these comrades now?”

“Of course we should. However, before that….”

Wario’s scar twisted menacingly.

“You’ll need to receive some education.”

“Education?”

“The Assassin Brotherhood friends have pride as great as their skills. They won’t acknowledge mediocre guys as comrades. That goes for me as well.”

“Ah.”

Elogio grasped the intention immediately.

“It’s a test. Whether I can become part of the Assassin Group.”

“That’s right. Show me your skills, Elogio.”

* * *

【Quest : Pass Wario’s test!】

-Here it comes! Let’s go Gwanjong Cheonma!

-Time to warm up a bit!

-Ugh. I’m getting PTSD. Just thinking about how I got wrecked by that Wario ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-For real, where else would you find an uncle who beats up his nephew like that? I played on easy mode but after finishing, my whole body was aching

-Uncle is hiding his strength for real

-Our uncle doesn’t know the meaning of holding back!

Looking at the viewers’ reactions, this Quest seemed to have considerable difficulty.

‘Even better.’

A cool breeze tickled Hae-rang’s chest.

The more difficult it was, the more praise would pour from the viewers.

“I’ll tell you in advance, tonight you’ll have trouble sleeping comfortably.”

Wario approached Elogio with an apologetic smile.

He didn’t want to hurt his nephew, but it seemed like unavoidable growing pains.

Elogio just stood silently and listened to his words.

“The first skill I’ll teach you is evasion.”

Facing each other, Wario stepped back and forth.

“Simply moving just your upper body can’t be considered proper evasion. Creating an opportunity for counter attack while avoiding an attack – that’s what you can call ultimate evasion.”

“I see.”

“There’s no better theory than actual practice. Try attacking me once. I’ll let you learn with your body how to evade properly.”

Then he smiled so wide his molars were visible.

“Of course, you’ll have to be prepared to take a hit after the evasion.”

“Understood.”

First lesson, evasion.

When Wario nodded, Elogio shot forward like an arrow into his embrace.

“!”

A lightning-fast strike followed.

Elogio’s clenched fist struck Wario’s jaw directly.

Bang!

Wario’s body spun at high speed like a top.

After spinning several times in the air, Wario shared a deep kiss with the training ground floor.

-What

-Huh?

-What? He’s not evading?

-He said he’d teach techniques, but he took it straight on

-Didn’t Wario just die? lmaooooooo he got beat up so hard

-Uncle! Get a grip! hahahahaha

-What? Why is the development like this again? Why is Wario sprawled out spread-eagle?

“Uncle?”

Wario, who had been writhing on the ground, suddenly sprang up at Elogio’s call.

“Ha! Haha! I was just doing something else for a moment when you came in. It would have been nice if you had given me a signal beforehand!”

“Are you okay? Your jaw seems a bit twisted…”

“Of course! I’m perfectly fine! That was truly an excellent surprise attack just now, Elogio.”

Wario tried to act nonchalant while praising Elogio.

But this time, even Hae-rang didn’t tremble at the praise.

‘Was that really an attack worthy of being called a surprise attack? He clearly moved after hearing the signal.’

Being a streamer is really good at times like this.

You can check if your thoughts are correct by looking at the chat window.

-What a surprise attack kind of thing to say lolololololol when you’re the one who nodded for me to come over

-Pathetic, so pathetic ㅡㅡ Uncle Wario, was he really such a loser?

-Honestly, let’s save some face here lol you gotta understand

-From what I can see, his mind is still dominating his body right now. It hurts like hell but he got up because he was embarrassed

-For real, reminds me of someone who survived NBC training on pure willpower alone lol seems like that level of mental strength

“Now, I’ll give you the signal, so come in then, Elogio.”

“Yes. I’ll do that, Uncle.”

“Readyyyyyy…”

Wario gulps down his saliva before giving the signal.

Unlike his initial relaxed state, he looked thoroughly tense.

“Go!”

Whoosh!

Upon confirming the signal, Elogio leaped into the air this time.

He rose to a height that made Wario have to crane his neck up, then extended one foot.

“Kuk!”

Wario stepped with all his might.

Wario barely avoided Elogio’s kick by a hair’s breadth.

But the attack didn’t end there.

Before both feet touched the ground, the opposite foot struck his jaw area once more.

Bang!

Spin spin spin-

The opposite side of his jaw.

Rotation in the opposite direction.

Wario, who had become a spinning top once again, rolled all the way to the end of the practice hall.

-Wow! Consecutive attacks in midair!

-This isn’t just a simple kick. This is the realm of art!

-Why is he so acrobatic? He’s not even a gymnast lololololol

-Is Wario really dead? Check on him!

-Don’t worry. It’s wriggling around like a bug lol

Wario couldn’t get up for a long time.

Was it because of pain?

Or because of embarrassment?

“Ha… Haha. Hahaha.”

Slurred pronunciation leaked from Wario’s mouth as he barely managed to stand up.

“You didn’t say to attack twice. This uncle got fooled again.”

-Fooled? Our Gwanjong didn’t fool anyone though?

-Hahahahahahaha seriously so pathetic, so pathetic

-Is he saying it was a foul right now?

-He still doesn’t seem to have come to his senses, should we beat him up a few more times?

-No way. He might actually die if we do that.

-Who’s teaching who here? Hahahahaha

-Now I get it! Our Gwanjong is demonstrating that the best evasion is to beat them to a pulp first!

-Why would you evade? Just hit them first (genuinely confused)

-Highly advanced attacks are indistinguishable from evasion..!

The following technique ‘Taunt’ as well,

Bang!

The next attack ‘Counter Attack’ too,

“Gueek!”

Even the Cross Counter, which was called the most difficult technique,

Thwack!

Wario couldn’t properly demonstrate a single thing.

Because every time he tried to show something, Elogio broke through it all.

Wario’s body had now become pitiful to look at.

-Hahaha where did that Wario go who said he’d have trouble sleeping because of his injuries?

-That’s not Wario, that’s a swollen Donkey Kong standing there, isn’t it?

-Hey, don’t you understand Uncle’s meaning? He can’t sleep because he’s worried Uncle might be hurt!

-So the wound was an emotional wound lol

-Oh hahahahaha so that’s what you meant hahahahahaha

-I was such a fool ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I didn’t even understand Wario’s deeper meaning

Chat messages that might have caused embarrassment if Wario had been a real person rather than an NPC.

While Hae-rang wasn’t without guilt toward his uncle, he responded to all the training with sincerity.

That was the only way he could receive the highest grade.

‘But it’s still not enough.’

The performance he’d shown so far would probably be enough to earn an S-rank.

However, Hae-rang wanted a result that would shock everyone.

So he called out to the people standing on the second floor railing.

“Why don’t you come down now.”

“…!”

The people standing on the railing looked at each other’s faces.

Someone swallowed a hollow laugh,

Someone else furrowed their brow deeply.

Another person cracked their neck with a crunching sound.

“Training with just Uncle isn’t enough, so all of you attack me at once.”

“What?”

Those looking down at Elogio from the second floor railing.

They were all members of the Assassin Group that Uncle Wario had mentioned.
