69. [Night Soul] How Is This Even Possible? (1)
“Next.”
At the chilling voice that pierced through the silence, everyone froze in place.
Terror.
Like a rabbit before a serpent, their muscles seized as if paralyzed by sheer dread.
They had come to understand that rushing forward recklessly would only result in being methodically slaughtered in turn.
The same held true.
Sgrurpen, the Great Enemy—a field boss—was no exception.
“….”
One blow.
In the instant of receiving that single strike, comprehension flooded into Sgrurpen’s mind.
As one might witness the sun rising before a boundless sea, the truth inscribed upon his body became luminously clear in a heartbeat.
Thump-thump-thump───…
‘Death’.
The defensive instinct embedded in the very foundation of all living things screamed its alarm frantically.
Sgrurpen’s entire body began trembling violently, as though it might collapse at any moment without warning.
The reason was obvious.
The strike he had just barely blocked by crossing his twin blades in a defensive cross had not been completely negated.
While charging forward at full speed, the physical aftermath of Joo Seo-jin’s blade strike had pushed his body to its limits.
And this was while simultaneously parrying the simultaneous barrage of attacks from the other assailants.
A complete reversal of fortune.
Regardless of their numerical advantage and the fact that they had been lying in ambush, the tide of battle had unmistakably turned against them.
Sgrurpen gritted his teeth and, bending his body low, bolted toward the outer perimeter in rapid evasion.
Crack, snap───.
While weaving between massive trees and terrain features, concealing his form with shadow magic, a desperate voice echoed out like a reverberating call.
– Don’t engage him head-on! Cut off his escape route from the blind spots…!! If we avoid close combat, he’s not an impossible foe!!
Having decided to shift strategy and press their numerical advantage, the order was given.
“Damn it. Right, he’s just one man after all! No need to be afraid!!”
“Don’t scatter your strength. Forget everything else—focus on taking him down!!”
“Don’t panic. As long as we deny him close range, he can’t do anything!!”
The assailants, who had shown clear signs of fear until moments ago, swiftly resumed their assault.
‘…Interesting. Their combat tactics are more varied than I expected. Intelligent.’
Certainly.
Abandoning direct confrontation and repeatedly striking and retreating in a guerrilla-like fashion would undoubtedly prove troublesome.
Concealing myself within the shadows cast beneath the forest floor, I observed the scattered assailants with detached appreciation.
“…Hmm. I don’t recall ever seeing enemies change their combat strategy mid-battle like this before. Quite fascinating.”
-Hardcore games usually have insanely difficult combat variations lol
-There have been intelligent mobs before, but their strategies and whatnot just got one-shot and buried yk;;;
-lmao
-nah intelligence tactics or whatever, he just solo sliced through everything so there was no way to respond ;;;
—a Deathknight, if you just tear through its armor and kick it to death, you don’t need to fight intelligently, right? Haha.
It was novel, certainly, but only to that extent.
To be frank, it couldn’t compare to the psychological warfare that forms the core of combat techniques like the [Infinite War].
Crack, a former professional gamer, and Hikaru, who was a Grand Master—compared to them, my level of judgment is decidedly not high.
‘If I set aside the point that I’m actively exploiting the advantage of one versus many, even the field boss Sgrurpen isn’t particularly strong.’
No.
Conversely, they’re all uniformly clumsy and crude to a laughable degree.
Even Sgrurpen, who must be a formidable opponent in his own right, can do nothing more than block a single attack—naturally so.
Perhaps that’s why.
Thud-thud-whoooosh—!
Amid a torrent of projectiles pouring from all directions, I raised my blade and parried each one with perfect timing, muttering to myself.
“…Just parlor tricks after all, and not particularly interesting tactics.”
-Swish;
I’m trembling/shaking uncontrollably.
-How the hell is he even doing this..?
What’s up with holding a sword in one hand and parrying without even looking, that’s crazy lol
Man, that’s some next-level romance right there lol
Without a single breath out of place, the moment I stepped forward.
“It seems they’ve been saying that if I don’t give distance, if I don’t engage in direct combat—”
Slash—!
As shadow fell across my face, a chilling tone spilled forth.
“Whether we engage in direct combat or not—that’s for me to decide, not them.”
***
Guerrilla warfare.
Within mere seconds of beginning to evade direct confrontation through hit-and-run tactics, I broke into a sprint.
Without the slightest hesitation, I plunged directly into the heart of the Spruce Forest—territory that might as well have been enemy ground.
The moment I entered effective range, an immediate response erupted.
Shrieeek… Wheeeee—!!
Volley fire.
Archers perched upon thick branches simultaneously drew their bowstrings and unleashed a barrage of rapid shots.
With crossfire, they scattered projectiles across a wide area where I stood, cutting off any escape route.
Yet—
Thunk-thunk—Twang!!
Without exception, every arrow failed to find its mark, instead embedding themselves in the surrounding spruce trees.
The reason was simple: I was already gone by the time each arrow arrived.
“This is insane. Where—where did he go? Where is he!?”
“He was just there! How did he disappear in that instant!?”
“Damn it, damn it! You idiots, find him already! He couldn’t have gone far—”
While the archers perched on thick branches panicked,
—.
My shadow silently fell across the darkened boughs of a towering spruce, and a cutting sound tore through the air.
With a sound like paper being sliced, the archers’ bodies collapsed—headless.
With a sound like tearing paper, the archers’ bodies collapsed, their heads severed.
I had backtracked the trajectory of their projectiles, pinpointed their positions, and begun systematically assassinating them in return.
Shhhhk, shhhhk—…!!
Without even a final cry, the archers hidden in the massive trees fell one by one.
I had already mastered the technique of using walls as runways by applying the Lacrantz Style’s virtual engine operation methods.
Whether they wanted a direct confrontation or not made no difference to me.
-WTF;
-Assassination mode activated LMAOOOOOOOOO;
-Once he got annoyed, he just pinpointed those archers and deleted them lol
-Wait… if he’s this good at assassination, why did he resort to brawling in the sections where he could’ve assassinated…?
“just”
“Why are you so good at assassination but haven’t done it until now—” (x) “Oh, there was no need to assassinate anyone.” (o)
The fact is, this is the fact, you know.
-The way of thinking is different from ours ㅠ;
Before even three minutes had passed, the archers in the forest were annihilated—and finally, the attackers accepted the worst-case scenario with gritted teeth.
Crack, pop—.
Dagger-wielding attackers hidden in the shadows beneath the forest suddenly rose up and ambushed me, crawling through the fallen leaves.
Their method of hiding in the leaves and striking from blind spots was discreet, but it harbored one fatal flaw.
And that was—.
Splurt-splurt-splurt, squelch—!!
-WTF;
-????????????????????????????
-What? He didn’t even look and just unleashed consecutive stabs..?;
I didn’t even know I was hiding, damn how did you figure it out lol
-Whether it’s prediction, or just reflexively stabbing the moment he heard the sound, or both, I can’t tell;
-That’s otherworldly physicality;
This meant that Joo Seo-jin had no blind spots.
What the Foresight ability showed was literally the future itself.
No matter when, where, or how they attacked, he already knew in advance and couldn’t fail to respond.
Therefore───.
Joo Seo-jin began sprinting at full speed without any need to hold back anymore.
‘Archers… I’ve eliminated all the long-range snipers that were most annoying. From here on, it’s basically my stage.’
In fact, the moment he succeeded in eliminating every single archer without exception, the battle situation had already collapsed beyond recovery.
The plan to gain advantage through numerical superiority via guerrilla warfare without direct confrontation had already fallen apart.
The outcome was predetermined.
───.
With his full-speed sprint, he engaged in successive battles without a moment’s hesitation, stacking up his kill count.
Sliding down a sloped hill to gain momentum, leaping off rocks to secure height, grabbing branches to make sharp turns and overturn hiding spots─── he eliminated every last one without exception.
There were no exceptions.
Whether they emerged from the brush, burst out from behind trees, or descended from the air, the result was the same.
Shing───.
With a single sword strike, he cut them down in an instant before they could even match numbers.
And.
Whoooosh─.
Finally───.
After finishing his full-speed sprint, Joo Seo-jin stood in place, flicked the blood from his blade, and spoke.
“That’s 38 kills. Remaining count is… well, looks like I’ve wiped out pretty much everyone except the field boss.”
-??;
-Wow…
-Kiiiiiii hahahahahahahahahaha
-Human Butcher ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ;;
So this is what they mean by a butcher of humanity… that’s brutally savage, man.
Whoosh, whish─.
“38 kills, and once I take down Sgrurpen, the kill mission reward doubles… that’s 760,000 won, right?”
-Confirmed;
Making 760,000 won in just 10 minutes lol
The breathing of eating for free lol
I think the viewers watching the kill mission are probably getting a bit nervous too lol
Lol no way hahahahahaha
It was the moment Joo Seo-jin spoke those words with a light laugh.
A donation sound chimed, and a voice close to a scream erupted.
Ding—
[User ‘Has Mapo Bridge Collapsed?’ donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━Seo-jin… do people even have hearts…??
-…or not?
Even after hearing about 38 people being slaughtered without a sound, thinking that person still has a human heart is legendary lol
-They don’t exist！
-If you’re going to assign a kill mission to a human butcher, you have to be prepared for the consequences..?
Hahahahahaha
