Episode 385
385
Yoo Sung-hyun’s spectacular laser display possessed a brilliance reminiscent of watching an aerial acrobatics show.
A feat of control that ordinary skill mastery could scarcely replicate.
The Michael Party, witnessing this spectacle firsthand, found themselves utterly speechless.
Shock had rendered them incapable of uttering a single word.
Yet the chat window told a different story.
-Is that even possible with control????
-Who knows lol if we knew we wouldn’t be chatting here?
-lololol true that.
-Seriously this is absolutely insane lolololol
-First time seeing an air show with beam-type skills lol
-I have beam skills too, gotta try copying that lol
-That could actually be good for control practice?
Some viewers expressed pure admiration and amazement, while others began analyzing Yoo Sung-hyun’s control prowess with genuine seriousness.
-With control skills at that level… honestly it’s strange he’s not known???
-Is this someone’s alt account???
-An alt at this level?????
-Since when do people have alts in Eternal World?
-They’re hiding their identity;;;;;
-Ah….
-That’s possible but is there anyone at this level who uses beams?????
-Not really?????
-Who even uses beams????
Everyone began speculating with expressions of bewilderment.
This was clearly no ordinary display of control.
Theories circulated that someone was definitely hiding their identity and had infiltrated the Michael Party.
At that moment, Michael snapped back to reality and hurriedly glanced at the chat window.
This could very well be someone concealing their true identity.
After all, hadn’t they hidden their username?
But he couldn’t allow the viewers to jump to those conclusions.
“Everyone, please calm down. Wow, I’m seriously shocked—what kind of control is that….”
As Michael attempted to placate the viewers, the image replayed in his mind, causing his gaze to glaze over as if dazed.
The viewers, in turn, found his reaction hilarious.
-lololololol
-lololol mesmerized lol
-Like a brother in a trance? lololol
-lolol stop drinking that omija tea lol
Michael’s expression was so entertaining that the viewers’ attention shifted entirely to him.
After releasing a sigh of relief, Michael regained his composure and spoke.
“Well then, shall we focus and push forward? We’re heading to Floor 71.”
At those words, Yoo Sung-hyun smiled faintly to himself.
‘The Hidden Room will work out then.’
Thinking he had a rather clever strategy, Yoo Sung-hyun smiled subtly.
7.
Floor 71 had already been cleared by the Mansik Party, who had uploaded footage of it, so the Michael Party was able to clear it with relative ease.
Red beams of light streaked through the area where wraiths crowded, sweeping them away, and Michael couldn’t help but admire the sight.
‘Much faster than before.’
Michael scratched his head, thinking this acceleration compared to when Fren, the previous mage, was with them was unavoidable.
Sure enough, viewers in the chat began making comparisons.
-Wow, this is way faster than when Fren was here?
-Even though the Mansik Party has footage of clearing the path, you’re clearing a floor you haven’t even attempted this quickly????
-The Michael Party was always skilled at clearing quickly, but this is something else….
-Kyaaaaa Yoo Sung oppa, go!!!
-Yoo Sung, you’re really amazing….
Where they had once marveled only at his appearance, they now marveled at his skill.
The beams bent and scattered in all directions without warning, striking down the wraiths’ fatal weak points in a single blow.
In fact, not just Michael, but Rowell and Noar were also finding the hunt much easier.
As if comprehending everything at once, whenever they felt themselves blocked, red beams would shoot in from behind in perfect angles, attacking the wraiths and creating openings for counterattacks, making the hunt more than twice as smooth.
With the control of multiple beams, they were advancing at an incredible pace.
-At this rate, we’re breaking records???
-More than twice as fast as the Mansik Party;;;;
-The exit is coming up!!!
“and lol I’m already at the exit with this.”
As everyone marveled and pushed forward toward the final exit,
a considerable number of wraiths appeared.
Originally, when the Mansik Party came through, no wraiths appeared here, but dungeons are never always the same.
While no one else paid attention, only Yoo Sung-hyun was smiling.
With six wraiths appearing, Michael, along with Rowell and Noar, joined in to deal with them as quickly as possible, and Yoo Sung-hyun unleashed countless beams as well.
And while simultaneously piercing through the wraiths and striking the wall beside them, the battle continued with no one paying attention to Yoo Sung-hyun’s actions.
But several viewers noticed it.
-What????????
-Huh???????
-Over there????????
-What’s there??????
Everyone posted such messages, but since they were in combat, Michael didn’t notice until after he’d defeated all the wraiths, when he detected something unusual in the chat atmosphere.
Not only that, but he could also notice something strange about the wall on one side of the path where the wraiths had been.
A hole the exact size of a beam had been pierced through—during combat, one could dismiss it as coincidence.
But seeing another space beyond the hole that had been made, Michael couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
A secret location, uncommon even in Mugan.
Michael reacted like the professional broadcaster he was the moment he saw it.
“Wait, everyone, what on earth is this?! Could it be a legacy left behind by the Mansik Party?”
At Michael’s words, everyone chuckled and typed in the chat.
Why are you killing the Mansik Party lolololol
Haha, I’m still alive.
Haha, they’re really sending this.
Hahahahaha.
-But the hidden room is really shocking;;;.
-The Mansik Party only publicly revealed Floor 71, but wasn’t the last discovered hidden room in the 50s?
Michael nodded in response to the last chat message.
“Yes, the last hidden room we discovered was on Floor 53.”
Usually, even if people didn’t upload strategy videos, discovering a hidden room was something you absolutely had to upload as a video.
Why?
Once a hidden room was revealed, other parties couldn’t open it anymore.
That’s why even the Chungwi Party, who didn’t usually do strategy videos or livestreams, would make and upload videos whenever they discovered a hidden room.
On the other hand, the Michael Party was the type to openly do livestreams like this.
So they’d discover things immediately and edit them into videos later.
But to think they’d find a hidden room on the very first day with Yoo Sung-hyun.
Michael looked at Yoo Sung-hyun as if he were some kind of lucky charm.
Then he explained to Yoo Sung-hyun.
“Ahem, since Yoo Sung is visiting Mugan for the first time today, I’ll explain it for you.”
-Oh, Michael’s lecture mode is activated.
-Oh, this is going to be long;;;;.
-Please keep it short, Principal!!!!
Though the viewers complained in the chat, Michael was a broadcasting genius, so as he spoke, he shifted the camera angle to focus on Yoo Sung-hyun’s face listening to the explanation, and the complaints melted away like snow.
-Ah, so healing.
-He really is handsome.
-Ridiculously handsome;;;.
Hahaha, why do I keep laughing just looking at it? Ah, this is that hilarious face.
Haha, my female friend also said I look funny.
-Having a funny face and having a face that makes you smile are different;;;.
Why are you hitting me too? T_T
While the chat was buzzing like that, Michael was kindly explaining to Yoo Sung-hyun.
First, about hidden rooms.
“Hidden rooms tend to have various things, but broadly speaking, there are three types. One is a shortcut, another is a treasure room with items that help with clearing or rare and valuable items, and finally, a dud!”
“Oh?”
Since Yoo Sung-hyun had never heard of duds before, he listened quietly.
Then Michael explained step by step.
“Personally, I think shortcuts are the best. Treasure rooms are nice too, but often the items are a bit awkward to deal with. Our party mostly sells them and splits the profits equally, but if you need anything, just let me know. Usually, if someone needs something, we check the market price and divide the money according to the equal distribution method.”
“That’s a reasonable approach.”
“I think equal distribution like this is important for maintaining a party long-term.”
Despite being the party leader, dividing things so fairly wasn’t as simple as it seemed, so Yoo Sung-hyun nodded with a hint of admiration.
It was certainly an important matter, just as Michael had said.
After hearing this, Yoo Sung-hyun thought the shortcut really did seem like the best option.
However.
“In the dead-end cases, monsters appear, but in the shortcut route, monsters also appear. Extremely powerful boss-class monsters emerge, but in exchange, the path allows you to skip an entire floor.”
“If this is the shortcut, we’d be heading to Floor 73.”
“Exactly right.”
As Michael finished his explanation,
Yoo Sung-hyun grinned as if he understood.
“We’d better hope it’s the shortcut.”
“Well, if so, we could catch up to the Mansik Party by today itself.”
As Michael said this, the chat erupted in laughter again.
The Michael Party and Mansik Party, which always held the top positions, along with the Chungwi Party, constantly bickered like this over rankings.
“Haha, but I heard a different story from that side?”
Look at how excited Haelhaem is, haha.
-Please, no. ㅠㅠㅠ Hael, I don’t want to see Ham sucking honey. ㅠㅠㅠ That guy needs to suffer a bit.
(User banned)
Some viewers who genuinely wanted to see Michael fail received chat bans, and Michael chuckled as he spoke.
“Yeah, I’m gonna get lucky~”
Even as he said this, Michael honestly didn’t think this would be the shortcut.
Throughout his exploration so far, Michael had discovered a total of three hidden rooms.
And among those, not a single shortcut had appeared.
The Mansik Party was the same—they’d found two but neither was a shortcut.
Only the Chungwi Party had found one hidden room and discovered a shortcut.
Michael thought they had incredible luck, but shortcuts weren’t supposed to appear that often anyway.
So without worrying too much, everyone entered the hidden room together.
And there, a massive golem that looked like a giant commander was rising to its feet, and at the appearance of such an obviously extraordinary monster, Michael was taken aback.
A Giant Commander Golem was definitely a boss-class monster.
And the fact that a boss-class monster appeared in a hidden room meant?
Michael hurriedly looked around, and as he spotted another door clearly behind where the Giant Commander Golem stood guard, his eyes widened.
“A shortcut!?”
“Huh!?”
“It’s, it’s really a shortcut!!!”
While Michael, Rowell, and Noar all gasped in astonishment,
Yoo Sung-hyun alone smiled faintly and spoke.
“We’re lucky.”
A cold smile, as if everything had gone according to plan.
Hahahahaha
-Even saying you’re lucky sounds cool;;;;
-Haha, he’s really handsome.
The viewers didn’t care about any of that—they were unanimous in their praise of how handsome Yoo Sung-hyun was.
