Chapter 354

Seo Jun was shot dead.
It was a perfect shot.
Yet no one panicked, not even then.
Seo Jun himself, the victim, was no exception.
It was a death as the enemy had anticipated, and after dying, Seo Jun examined the map spread before his eyes and chose to be reborn in the secret chamber hidden above the base.
When he opened his eyes and could move his body, what filled his vision was a Tier 4 Crafting Table that blazed brilliantly across one entire wall.

-Wow
-Oooooh
-Is that a Tier 4 Crafting Table? It’s huge lol
-What ordeal did they go through just to see that Crafting Table

Two users were busily crafting items at two smaller Crafting Tables that required fewer materials to make.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Seo Jun stood and placed his hand on a nearby crate.
The crate opened, displaying his Inventory, and he retrieved the weapons he’d stored in advance.
“The timing worked out perfectly, as planned. This result was only possible because these two worked so hard without any mistakes.”
Of course, reaching Tier 4 wasn’t the end. Nothing was finished.
The reason the attack team had deliberately gathered resources until the very last moment before launching the raid, despite knowing Seo Jun could reach Tier 4 like this, wasn’t to gloat after their recent setback.
The mindset of “Even if we reach Tier 4, what can we really accomplish?” had loomed large.
What he had to do now was simple.
Before losing all items to the point of being unable to mount any counterattack.
“Now it’s time to strike back, don’t you think?”
He had to prove it.
Why this had been necessary.

-What’s Tier 4 gonna do?
-Looks like they’re busy copying Frying Pans lol
-Right, the Frying Pans here don’t have great Durability, right?
-Bad Durability but bullets still bounce off lol

Seo Jun watched the two in front of him.
To open the Crafting Table’s Interface, you have to be sitting at it.
The time it takes for items to be made is almost nonexistent.
So the reason they’ve been sitting for so long is simple.
They’re making a very large quantity, which is why it takes time.
Of course it didn’t take a full minute, and soon enough they turned around to meet Seo Jun, fully armed.
“Did you arrive safely?”
“How’s the base situation?”
“By now the entrance should be breached. How many did you make?”
“We filled the inventory completely.”
“Throw them now. Then follow me. Let’s clear out the Forward Base first.”
Seo Jun filled his item slots and left their base, heading toward the Forward Base to the north.
That was how he met Lloyd.

* * *

Bang Ju had been monitoring public opinion ever since Seo Jun died—or even before that—so he knew well enough.
“It’s done! The Geomsin received a sword! It’s finally over!”
People were skeptical.
To be precise, everyone except most Koreans was skeptical.
The handful of Korean Last players watching this game, and the vast majority of users worldwide.
Global Last players had doubted from the start whether Seo Jun could deflect bullets at all.
Because even if it were possible, he might occasionally use it to block, but it could never be directly applicable in combat.
Moreover, even if Seo Jun had used it before, wasn’t his opponent relatively weak?
Now Seo Jun’s opponents were Last’s finest veterans—those same veterans whom they, the Hunter Team, had defeated in team-based combat.
And there were also special forces units that hadn’t yet revealed their true capabilities but could prove most dangerous.
“Can you just admit we’ve won already? Come on, admit it!”
And the players worldwide who’d read the History Book—those who believed Seo Jun could deflect bullets and use them in combat—said this:
Yeah, it’s possible. But that doesn’t mean he can’t still lose, right?
The gap in power is undeniable.
“Come on! Just watch and see!”

-Hahaha!
-The logic that the Frying Pan is a sword so Geomsin wins is absolutely flawless!
-We’re being serious, you foreigners
-Ah, you ignorant fools who don’t understand what it means for a sword to be in Geomsin’s hands
-Lololol

“Ah! The North Forward Base! Engaging immediately!”
When building the Forward Base, Seo Jun watched from a distance through a scope.
Since the enemy confirmed from looking at the shape of Seo Jun’s fortress that it was completely defensive, they didn’t bother hiding the Forward Base either.
And the moment Lloyd shouted in disbelief and fired his gun!
Seo Jun deliberately—really deliberately—swung his arm.
It wasn’t just touching it.
It wasn’t moving slowly.
Really fast.
Even though the bullet and Frying Pan had to meet in just an instant, he swung anyway.
Whoosh!
Clang!
The bullet aimed at Seo Jun’s abdomen bounced off.
“Ah! He swung it! He’s swinging the sword!”

-Huh???
-Wow
-Lol look at him going out of his way to swing it
-Lloyd’s expression lol
-Should’ve raked him with the rifle

“Player Lloyd fires more! Full auto!”
About a second’s delay passes.
At regular intervals, bullets came at various points on Seo Jun’s body.
Normally when you change targets like that, the muzzle shakes and bullets miss, but the shots were perfectly accurate.
On the Frying Pan.
“They’re not missing! No! The bullets aren’t missing the Frying Pan! Hahahaha! Lloyd! You should’ve called your allies!”
By trying to land shots himself, Lloyd allowed Seo Jun to advance right up to the Forward Base, and Seo Jun planted an Attached Bomb.
Boom!
Other guards arrived too late, but they fell to Seo Jun’s Rifle.

-Isn’t it being wiped out too easily
-Among experts with perfect Aiming, once they spot each other, fights end quickly
-That’s true lol normally fights last long because they don’t give each other those angles

“Yes! If you think of the famous aim-hack duels from old PC games, it’s just like that! The moment either side peeks from Cover, they’re dead! Just ridiculous, right! Ah! Sleeping Bag destroyed!”
With two Attached Bombs, the Outer Wall was destroyed, and Seo Jun spoke thus before moving to the next Forward Base.

[From the next Forward Base on, I’ll have to snipe and go in directly. Just now Lloyd was a bit lacking, which was lucky.]

“The word ‘lacking’ appeared! Though I’m sure it doesn’t mean his intelligence was lacking or anything like that!”

-Lol
-Bang Ju’s commentary is crazy accurate?
-For real lol

Seo Jun easily destroyed the next Forward Base.
Sniping and taking them out first seemed far easier than approaching, and that was no mere impression.
“Every shot lands! Ah, the Forward Bases should’ve been made properly!”
Between rounds, Bang Ju switched the screen to show Seo Jun’s Main Base.
That place was a mess at first.
When they heard news of Seo Jun’s Forward Base assault, they’d laughed at first, thinking that if he left the base like that, the Main Base would fall even faster.
But the North Forward Base was destroyed at an astonishing speed.
On top of that, the Hunter Team had to prepare defenses against the faction raiding them.
The dead Lloyd, the sentries who were originally at the base, and three additional soldiers sacrificed themselves leaving to bolster the defense.
How many remained?
From twenty-one, additional people left to guard each Forward Base, leaving thirteen.
Minus the four deserters from the Hunter Team, that’s nine.
The enemy numbered five.
Yes, they could win easily.
But it was no longer an overwhelming advantage, and the moment the North Forward Base was destroyed in an instant, they felt threatened instead.
Still, they were veterans.
As the East Forward Base was destroyed following the North, command issued orders.
“Just fall back to the center! they said! Ah, excellent judgment! Now that Seo Jun’s appeared, you need more troops to stop him! But if you pull more people outside, you can’t climb the central tower! So then instead!”
The War of Attrition no longer made sense.
Fifteen soldiers converged on the center, and the third Forward Base was destroyed.
And after a brief time.

[Done! Nice! Sleeping Bag destroyed! Let’s check the rest!]
[Is all that’s left just catching that person?]
[Tell him to come up!]
[No, we fight outside.]

Seo Jun’s Main Base was cleared.
Baek Do-yul and his teammates fought hard, but they couldn’t hold back the three invaders from above and the twelve climbing from below.
The teammates ended up being reborn at the external base.
The supplies positioned there could equip only one more person, so it was safe to call it finished.
Yes.
When you win a fight, you can torment them all day—and this is why.
There’s no way to resist.
Every time they try to harvest resources, you kill them, and the team becomes primitive and helpless.
“So now the attack team is going to search one last time, leave the Main Base, destroy the fourth Forward Base, and come back to face Seo Jun! Even for him, a straight fight in the Field would be tough! But!”

-It’s over dude
-Confirmed noob lol
-Band Master cut!!!lol
-This can’t possibly be won
-You guys don’t watch Band Master’s stream?
-??

That was when.
Bang Ju switched the screen to Seo Jun’s view, which he hadn’t shown since the third Forward Base was destroyed.
And where Seo Jun was located wasn’t far away.
Normally he would’ve been destroying the fourth Forward Base.
“But what if the Battlefield is still the Main Base? What if it’s inside the Building?”

[Alright everyone, get back to our home. I’ll gather the Weapons. I’m going to kill every last invader.]

Seo Jun had returned to the Main Base instead of destroying the Forward Base.
Because of that, Seo Jun now stood on the first floor of his home.
“There is a chance to win!”
Since if he wiped them all out here, the one remaining Forward Base would be meaningless anyway.

-Like there’s really a chance lol
-Band Master it’s too late your teammates are far away
-Lost because you insisted on going to Tier 4 lol
-Fifteen against one is lol
-Will also get oppressed by the Slayer Team haha

Bang Ju stood firm.
“I’m telling you we’re going to win.”

* * *

“This was all calculated. Even if I’d stayed at the Main Base the whole time, we would’ve lost. No matter what play I made, there’s no way to beat those numbers. If you get shot, you’re gone.”
Even if Seo Jun somehow bled to victory once, the enemies would’ve rearmed at the Forward Bases and come again.
“But when you hold a Frying Pan, it’s different. Because it’s a sword, we can win easily.”

-Lol I don’t understand the logic, Band Master lol
-Insane confidence
-But if he blocks everything, it’s true logic lol
-Just overwhelming Lloyd wasn’t enough, prove it, Band Master!
-So you’re saying you’ll beat fifteen against one?
-If you win I’ll sign off on “a Frying Pan is a sword”!

“Anyway, this situation right now was the one and only scenario where our team could win.”
If they lost here, the enemies would have no choice but to give up.
Seo Jun’s team would rearm, and only one Forward Base remained.
And would they really attack again after losing fifteen against one?

-Yeah! I believe in you, Band Master!
-The one and only possibility!
-But there are still too many enemies
-There’s a sword though, a sword

Seo Jun spoke his thoughts in a state only the viewers could hear.
The real matter wasn’t that.
“So tell me, should I go up? Or should I intercept them coming down? What sounds cooler?”

-Lololol
-Insane, insane, insane, only thinking about stuff like that even in this situation lol
-Going up does sound cooler lol
-Intercepting could look cool like gatekeeping
-This is Band Master

The enemy was fifteen strong.
His teammates, unable to kill even one amid the overwhelming difference, had been pushed back to the bedroom.
That was fine.
By now they were probably drunk on the success of their raid.
Seo Jun shrugged.
“Well, let’s just go up then. First though.”
Seo Jun pulled out a Grenade, threw it outside, and began climbing the Stairway.
“I should let them know I’ve arrived.”
Through his final battle that day, Seo Jun demonstrated.
Why he needed Tier 4.
Why the Frying Pan was a sword.
And finally, why he was called Geomsin.
Bang!
