Episode 110
110
0.
Barely a single day.
Or rather, if you counted the weekend they’d sacrificed, Lee Won-sang and Oh Jin-hyuk had endured an even longer all-nighter shift.
The two of them returned to their original positions with utterly exhausted expressions.
To be honest, it had been such a sudden event.
I genuinely thought we’d die.
Anyone who saw the dark circles hanging beneath their eyes would have pitied them.
Yet not a single soul welcomed them back to the User Management Team, their home away from home.
Well, there was no helping it.
“W-what did we get this time?”
How many users would grow from the event rewards?
This event had been launched by Lee Won-sang, not Yoo Sung-hyun, after all.
They could only cast resentful glances.
Did Lee Won-sang sense those looks?
“…How would I know?”
Oh Jin-hyuk trembled with fear, but Lee Won-sang offered no real response.
Besides, he was worried about the backlash that would follow.
Not only had he secured first place in this event.
He’d raised his level by a whopping twenty-one.
It wouldn’t be strange to gain even more.
Skills and items that would activate once he surpassed level one hundred.
Three Legendary Boxes received as event rewards.
Plus two new skills he’d obtain from leveling up.
Just thinking it through briefly yielded this much.
But would it truly end here?
‘Who knows…’
Lee Won-sang had already been thoroughly dealt with by Yoo Sung-hyun before.
He would never let his guard down.
If anything, there would be even more.
Not less.
He already knew Yoo Sung-hyun’s true depths well enough.
The ending had been somewhat disappointing.
‘Echo Willow, you spineless bastards…’
The villains were naturally a headache from the User Management Team’s perspective.
But this time had been especially so.
Just watching them retreat without any backbone made his irritation boil over.
If they’d pushed harder.
Even Yoo Sung-hyun would have surely lost.
“Ahem.”
Still, cheering for villains felt a bit off.
Regardless.
When I thought about the rewards I’d obtain this time.
I was confident I wouldn’t be surprised by whatever Yoo Sung-hyun did.
At this point, only a handful of people at the same level could stop him.
It was unfortunate, but there was nothing to be done about it.
Though there was some consolation.
‘His growth rate has been massive so far, but now that’s coming to an end.’
He could perform wide-area hunts and mob farming with multiple legions.
But how many subordinates were currently attached to Yoo Sung-hyun?
Starting with the Demon Knight, his pet Fiora, the Dark Castle Noctrinium, and Leonik, newly acquired this time.
All of them were factors that increased Yoo Sung-hyun’s experience gain.
Leveling up would become increasingly difficult.
Especially at his current level in the 110s—even hunting at the far end of the Dune Wild Trail.
‘It would take at least a month.’
Lee Won-sang thought so.
A slight sense of relief washed over him.
So Lee Won-sang returned to his position to check what Yoo Sung-hyun had obtained, and found that his stats had risen by a whopping 22 points from that mysterious force again.
“Wow, it’s that mysterious force again. What on earth could this be?”
“….”
Too drained to respond, Lee Won-sang could only stare blankly at the screen.
After obtaining the rewards.
Yoo Sung-hyun reviewed his rewards when something suddenly gave him pause.
‘Why is he doing that?’
Creeping unease began to overtake Lee Won-sang.
However, there was nothing Yoo Sung-hyun could currently cause chaos over.
No massive error discovered, no new rewards obtained.
Nothing like that.
Really.
‘There shouldn’t be, right?’
No, there shouldn’t be.
Lee Won-sang trembled with anxiety as he performed several checks.
Then something caught his attention.
The Wind Watcher, Anemor.
He was going to use Transcendent Death on that creature.
‘That shouldn’t work, right?’
Additional summoning via Anemor.
Last time when he transcended the Demon Beast Barfur, it hadn’t been possible.
Wasn’t it impossible when we transcended Demon Beast Barfur last time?
With that assurance, I nodded in agreement.
Just as Lee Won-sang was breathing a sigh of relief that it wouldn’t happen.
“Senior, if that Anemor corpse adds more and becomes two, what happens then?”
“Impossible. Don’t worry about it and focus on something else.”
“Ah! Then I can relax.”
“That’s right.”
“But what if, just in case, it does happen?”
As Oh Jin-hyuk continued asking irritating questions in his typical fashion.
Lee Won-sang spoke with a hint of annoyance.
“Then you’ll be pulling an all-nighter with me again.”
“Ahahaha! Since you said it’s impossible, that won’t happen.”
Oh Jin-hyuk answered with a laugh.
I had certainly checked just moments ago whether it was possible.
And the result came back as impossible.
So why?
‘Why does his smile make me so uneasy?’
Lee Won-sang trembled slightly with anxiety.
‘It’s… just my imagination.’
1.
Calamity Legion.
The one who benefited most from this event was naturally Yoo Sung-hyun.
And the next most discussed was naturally his guild, Rapid Guild.
People were saying that Rapid Guild would soon enter its golden age.
Everyone spoke with one voice.
With the single-ranked Yoo-na already under his command, and Yoo Sung-hyun rising rapidly as well.
Anyone could see that the guild would flourish.
Especially Yoo Sung-hyun’s performance this time exceeded all imagination.
Necromancers are commonly called one-man armies.
But he was the one who embodied that title more than anyone else.
-He really finished off the Demon King this time.
-Ah, it would’ve been perfect if they’d livestreamed the part where he took down Echo Willow at the end.
-Can’t be helped, it wasn’t planned.
-But they did film it, right? The footage should come out soon.
Hahaha, this is gonna be hilarious. I can’t wait to see it. Watching those bastards get what’s coming to them might actually cure my insomnia.
-For real lol.
The excited reactions of the users.
Rapid Guild accepted it all and was promoting themselves as much as possible.
As the Rapid Guild channel continued to grow this way.
They also openly revealed that they had received assistance this time.
[Rapid Guild: ‘We were able to learn of Echo Willow’s attack thanks to Sick Brothers. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude.’]
[Sick Brothers Guild, ‘We simply did what was necessary. Rather, we are amazed by the depth of Yoo Sung-hyun’s power.’]
I had strengthened my relationship with the Sick Brothers even further.
Users couldn’t help but chatter in response to such a statement.
-Huh?? I was wondering why the Sick Brothers weren’t moving, but it turns out the Rapid Guild asked them to stay put?
-Then what about the other guilds that were there besides the Sick Brothers????
“Can’t you tell from the fact that the Rapid Guild isn’t saying anything? lol It’s so obvious.”
Ah haha, I’m just messing with you!!! Hahahaha.
-Wow, they’re going down the drain….
The villains are so petty, acting like they can make me do whatever they want without lifting a finger. It’s seriously pathetic lol.
The arrows of criticism turned toward the other guilds, excluding the Sick Brothers.
It was fair to say that the guilds’ reputations had been tarnished by this incident.
The resulting drop in subscribers and rankings was unavoidable.
In corporate terms, it was no different than hitting the daily limit down repeatedly.
But the Rapid Guild didn’t stop there and was pushing forward with multiple initiatives in a frenzy.
Only a few hours had passed since the event ended.
Inquiries came pouring in.
At a point where everything from membership inquiries to various matters was flooding in.
The guild master, Rapid, barely clinging to life amid piles of documents, adjusted her monocle and looked at the papers before her.
“Is this right?”
Looking at the two documents placed in front of her, she scratched her cheek in disbelief.
The text written at the very top was simple.
Guild membership inquiry.
Both were guild membership inquiries.
If only looking at this, it might not have been a big deal.
But the people who wrote those applications were significant.
None other than.
“Merlin and Kurosawa Ren.”
Weren’t both of them rising stars whose stock had been soaring recently?
If Yoo Sung-hyun was considered in a league of his own.
Then these two were similar to Luna, so it was bound to be a difficult decision.
Above all, those two still belonged to the Eclipse Order and Tempest Wing.
There were also problems in recruiting them.
Should I call it a matter of ethics?
Under normal circumstances, it would certainly be a problem.
‘But this might actually be the right timing.’
It was no different from attacking Yoo Sung-hyun.
Even if I recruited those two, the two guilds lacked justification to complain.
Because they had first committed unethical acts.
Above all.
‘If I pay the penalty fee instead, I can use it as a signing bonus.’
Both of them had imposed those conditions on their own when inquiring about joining.
So this part wasn’t a problem either.
In other words, it meant acquiring two rising stars among the newcomers without spending much money at all.
For the Rapid Guild, they had no choice but to secure them.
‘How fortunate.’
Especially since I’d already invested a considerable sum in Yoo Sung-hyun this time.
I’d been worried whether the budget would be slightly insufficient for nurturing or recruiting new talent.
Not only did this live stream pull in a substantial amount, but I managed to bring both of them without spending much money.
With this, new talent was secured.
‘Then let’s proceed with it.’
Things would certainly get busy extracting those two.
Rapid accelerated her efforts even more.
By fully leveraging public sentiment, it would be handled fairly quickly with the right approach.
While processing matters, suddenly.
Her gaze shifted to the application inquiry form.
Looking at their desired position, she thought.
‘A backup team, huh? That’s unexpected.’
I’d thought they’d want to form their own team, even if it was a second squad.
Though it made sense their mindset would change this time.
And the Luna Team, which could be called Yoo Sung-hyun’s backup team.
They had just arrived at the Dune Wild Trail at this very moment.
The timing was perfect.
‘If I use this well….’
Wouldn’t it be quite decent for catching up to Yoo Sung-hyun’s level?
2.
Yoo Sung-hyun, who’d claimed first place, was about to move.
It was time to acquire the various rewards and activated skills he’d obtained.
He was trying to move to verify them.
“The Demon King was around here!?”
“Insane!? Where, where? I need to get an autograph!?!?”
“That’s why!!! Everyone, search around!!!”
“Ahahaha!!! I’m gonna get ten autographs!!!”
The surrounding users were in an uproar searching for Yoo Sung-hyun.
It was somewhat troublesome.
However, everyone passed by while looking toward Yoo Sung-hyun’s group.
Users searching for Yoo Sung-hyun while passing right by him.
How was this possible?
“I survived thanks to Fiora.”
-Indeed so, my lord.
-Ahahaha, Fiora’s abilities are truly specialized in infiltration.
“Thanks to you, Fiora.”
-Huh, huh-eh? Ah, no, it’s nothing.
Using Fiora’s Shapeshifter ability, I was casting a perception obstruction on everyone, disguising us as ordinary users.
I’d need to get away from this place first before revealing anything.
The moment Yoo Sung-hyun stepped away from the area.
There were relatively fewer users visible.
It was a place where caravans had gathered densely, resembling a village.
Perhaps this would be a good spot to reveal it?
There was quite a lot I needed to do right now.
The first thing Yoo Sung-hyun chose was none other than.
『Demon Knight Summoning』
→《Almighty》
→[Lv Max][Complete Form]
[Instant Effect][Active]
[Current Summonable Count: 1]
[Owned Demon Knights: 1]
The Demon Knight who walked forth from Hell at the Lord’s command shall be the instrument of judgment that realizes the Lord’s will.
→Overlord-exclusive skill.
→Summons a Demon Knight from Hell.
→The loyal servant and blade, the Demon Knight, matches the master’s level.
→An additional Demon Knight can be summoned for every 100 levels.
*Currently capable of summoning a new Demon Knight.
*Demon Knights can also enter the Underworld.
-Ahahaha! Finally, a successor is coming!!!!
Baltar was quite excited.
