Episode 417
417
Three Lords appearing all at once—a situation that defied comprehension.
Michael’s Party, along with the viewers, reeled from the shock of what amounted to absolute chaos.
“T-three Lords…?!”
“This is insane!?”
“W-what…?!”
Michael’s Party found themselves suffocating under the oppressive weight of the three Lords that had materialized without warning, and their distress was impossible to conceal.
Even the viewers watching through their screens felt the unfiltered pressure radiating from them, the shock reverberating with devastating clarity.
-What in the world is happening?????
-The 100th Floor wasn’t the end!??!?
-The Abyss??? What is this place???
-Three Lords exist here?????
-??????????
-Can this even be overcome???????
-Isn’t this completely finished????????
-What on earth is all this???????
-But why are the Backup Team and the Demon King so calm?
-They’re actually laughing…?????
-They’re laughing in this situation?
Amidst the chaos, Yoo Sung-hyun remained composed and even smiled, while the Backup Team, having apparently been briefed beforehand, displayed remarkable composure.
The viewers found themselves regarding them as abnormal instead.
Regardless of skill level, maintaining such composure in an unexpected situation of this magnitude was nothing short of astounding.
Those with true power were simply different in every way.
As the viewers were processing this realization.
Yoo Sung-hyun smiled wryly, as if caught in an awkward position, and spoke.
“According to the original plan, I was going to summon all my Minions to aid us as allies… but.”
Hearing him trail off, the viewers erupted with confusion.
-?????????
-The Minion summoning isn’t working????
-Then isn’t this truly finished?????
-That smile wasn’t composure—it was madness????
-So what do we do??????
While everyone descended into panic, Yoo Sung-hyun explained with an unshaken voice.
“I can only summon exactly one.”
As he spoke, Yoo Sung-hyun gazed at the system message hovering before his eyes.
[Dimensional connectivity is unstable due to the Lord of Abyss’s 『Abyss』.]
[Even if the gate to the 『Underworld』 is opened, only a single Minion can be summoned.]
I should have summoned the Minions beforehand to prepare for this, I thought.
But there was nothing to be done about it now.
Only a single Minion.
If I could summon only one, the choice was already predetermined.
Yoo Sung-hyun naturally opened the gate to the Underworld, and from within came the sound of footsteps.
Measured and solitary, footsteps possessed of an elegance incomparable to anything else.
Click, click, click.
With each footfall of her shoes against the ground, a woman emerged from the cyan portal—voluminous crimson hair cascading down, adorned in a black dress and carrying a black parasol as she walked with ethereal grace.
The enchanting woman smiled knowingly at Yoo Sung-hyun and spoke.
“Haven’t you gone quite a while without summoning me?”
“Ahem, I explained the situation.”
“Mm, still, I’m delighted you summoned me.”
Her captivating voice, devoid of any affectation, resonated with considerable allure, and the viewers found themselves utterly mesmerized by both her tone and appearance.
Helena possessed that magnitude of impact.
-Wow;;;;;
-That lady appeared;;;
-I thought we were watching a movie…
-She really is beautiful.
-Truly…
-If Luna is pretty, this Minion is genuinely beautiful.
-It’s so fitting it makes you wonder if beauty can suit someone this perfectly???
-Wow…
-But can we actually fight with just one Minion?
-Right. Isn’t it just adding one more Almighty-tier?
-One Almighty-tier is impressive, but a Lord-class boss monster…
-Huh? But what is that?????
The viewers continued their exclamations.
Yet nothing about the situation had improved.
However.
The viewers could see it clearly.
The moment Helena emerged from the Underworld, the three Lords freed from their seals simultaneously trembled as if something had gone terribly wrong.
As though they had encountered something they should never have faced.
All three reacted identically, their bodies quaking with dread.
The viewers murmured in bewilderment at the sight.
-???????What is this?
-Did they just lose their nerve???
-They’re scared of the Demon King’s Minion???
-What kind of Minion is this???
-It must be something special—summoning only one and choosing her???
As they all speculated.
Yoo Sung-hyun rapidly assessed the situation.
From the Lord of Abyss to the Lord of Destruction, and finally to the Despair Lord.
Their forms and appearances differed from one another.
If we’re talking about difficulty, though.
‘Despair Lord, Lord of Abyss, Lord of Destruction—in that order?’
Based on Helena’s formidable swordsmanship, the hierarchy should have been Lord of Abyss, Lord of Destruction, then Despair Lord in terms of strength, yet surprisingly the Lord of Destruction seemed the least troublesome.
So I quickly calculated and issued orders.
“I’ll take on the Despair Lord. Backup Team, all of you combined will face the Lord of Destruction, and Helena…”
“The Lord of Abyss, right? That works perfectly for me anyway.”
Helena answered with an alluring smile.
While everyone had tensed at my words and couldn’t respond, Luna Team, Kyou Party, and Embris Party—all three backup teams—were nodding in agreement.
Given the overwhelming pressure emanating from the Lord of Destruction before us, even all three teams combined might struggle.
After dividing up our opponents that way, I moved first.
The technique I used extracted the power of the Abyss from Helena’s second swordsmanship technique through my Multifaceted Lord ability, temporarily manifesting a Lord’s power.
As I wielded the power of the Abyss.
All three Lords couldn’t help but be startled by the sudden development.
The power of the Abyss was the exclusive domain of the Lord of Abyss alone, yet seeing me wield it so naturally, the Lord of Abyss moved to suppress it.
All Abyss belonged to the Lord of Abyss.
Even if I used it as a Multifaceted Lord, the advantage remained with the Lord of Abyss.
Just as he was about to block it.
“Mmm, you should play with me instead, Tyron.”
An alluring voice rang out as the Abyss filled the surroundings.
Because of this, while the Lord of Abyss remained in the same layer of the Abyss, the dimensional layers separated by the Abyss meant they couldn’t interfere with each other, and the same applied to me standing before the Despair Lord and the Despair Lord’s location.
Two spaces that were the same Abyss yet dimensionally different.
One place, but divided into three spaces.
However, one space functioned like a Corridor connecting all three, and that was precisely where Michael’s Party stood.
Thanks to this, Michael’s Party was also located in the Abyss, allowing them to see all three spaces simultaneously.
And this could be read through system messages as well.
[Space has been divided in the 『Abyss』.]
[Located in the existing 『Abyss』, you can move to either the Abyss layer or the dimensional layer.]
[Your current location is a Safe Zone.]
“Ah, ah, um, it seems we can see all of them.”
Michael said this upon reading the message that the Safe Zone allowed them to belong to any of the three spaces whenever desired.
Fortunately, they were able to relay the broadcast this way.
So the viewers murmured with relief.
-Thank goodness;;;;
-We can see all three, so we’re getting the full deal.
-But we can actually see them??? It’s so fast though?
Hahaha, what’s the point if all three are open? I can’t see anything anyway.
Hahaha, I seriously can’t see it.
The viewers were right.
We could see, but we couldn’t.
The movements of Yoo Sung-hyun and Helena, along with those of the Lord of Abyss and the Despair Lord, were not easily observable once combat commenced.
For Michael, tasked with broadcasting, this presented a somewhat awkward predicament.
But it was manageable.
After all, at least one of the three remained visible.
“We only need to focus on the Backup Team anyway!!! Isn’t this content about determining who among the Backup Team contributes the most??? And at least what we can see is the Backup Team, so…”
-I think the last sentence is the main point? lol
Haha, honestly that’s the truth;;
Haha, it’s not because I haven’t seen it!
lol that’s real
lol that’s real
The viewers agreed with Michael’s words and responded accordingly.
Honestly, how could you comment on what you can’t see?
Thus Michael immediately shifted his focus to the Backup Team’s area.
After all, wasn’t this practically the first public broadcast of such a powerful Lord-class boss raid?
He couldn’t possibly remain silent witnessing such an exclusive scoop.
When Michael began his broadcast in earnest.
The Backup Team, however, had completely forgotten about the contribution competition.
This was not the time for such trivialities.
The Lord of Destruction bore the form of a warrior with bulging, rippling musculature.
Yet the upper body was completely exposed, the skin bearing a faint, pallid blue luminescence, while the head was covered as though by a prisoner’s cloth wrap, and around the neck hung a thick rope befitting an execution.
The lower half was clad in tattered white prison-like trousers that appeared equally ominous.
While large in stature, it was not exceptionally massive compared to other monsters or bosses.
One could describe it as humanoid in form, standing at roughly 2.3 meters tall—a height comparable to an exceptionally tall human—yet the Backup Team felt more oppressive dread from this entity than from any boss they had faced before.
For the aura that shimmered like heat haze, despite not being actively emanated, was terrifying in its very presence.
‘…I cannot afford to miss this.’
Luna, tense and focused, thought thus, while the Lord of Destruction casually scratched at the rope binding its neck.
Shrieeeeeeek———!!!
A tremendous sonic boom erupted as the Lord of Destruction moved, its speed far exceeding all anticipation.
Luna, already prepared, surged forward to intercept, positioning herself before the Lord of Destruction and unleashing a devastating kick toward its upper body, channeling primordial strength to its fullest.
Witnessing the swift kick approaching from the left, the Lord of Destruction raised its arm with casual ease, deflecting the strike.
Booooooom————!!!
Primordial strength and destructive force rippled outward in all directions, the very atmosphere convulsing as reality warped around them, yet the Lord of Destruction remained unmoved, standing firm—while Luna’s body was instead sent hurtling backward.
Crash———!!!
