Swaaaaaaah.
The pouring rain went beyond the level of a downpour, to the point where it was pouring down from the sky like tap water.
Kay’s lifeless body quickly cooled in the cold rain and turned blue.
“… … .”
Jay and Roel took turns looking at the dead Kay and Sang-hyun.
Even though I was seeing it with my own two eyes, I just couldn’t believe these situations.
In close combat, the one who was most confident was Kay.
The number of players who have died by his hands so far is easily over thirty.
Those thirty people were not a bunch of incompetent, sloppy guys, but were all truly capable people.
Even against such people, Kay, who boasted of being undefeated in a hundred battles, died after being played around by Sang-Hyeon.
“It’s 2 vs 1 now. How does it feel?”
Sang-Hyeon said, aiming the tip of the nameless sword at Jay and Roel alternately.
But I was standing there calmly.
In fact, I was surprised inside.
This was due to the changed combat aspect caused by wearing an artifact of the Almighty rank.
The impossible became possible.
For example, you can take a chance and be ‘sure’ that you will avoid the attack.
It is true that Sang-Hyeon was strong before he acquired the Nameless Sword, but it was definitely not to this extent.
The Nameless Sword allowed me to dream my imagination into reality.
‘I want more. If only I could equip all my body armor with Almighty-grade artifacts.’
The dream got bigger.
It was definitely motivating.
Don’t just sit here and be satisfied and excited about obtaining an Almighty-grade sword.
I want to have more artifacts of the same level.
It is known that there are less than 50 Almighty-grade artifacts in existence worldwide.
Even 20 years from now.
In his previous life, at a point in time when 20 years had passed, he had 10 out of 50 parts, which was Geron Decay.
‘I do know of a few sources.’
If you look overseas, you can find places where you can aim for Almighty-grade artifacts.
Of course, it is not a place where the current Sang-Hyeon can challenge himself.
Because there are a lot of places with level 500 and 600 restrictions.
It is true that the skill level is quite high, but the ‘level’ corresponding to the absolute value is clearly low. There is a long way to go.
‘I guess this is about it.’
Sang-Hyeon turned his thoughts, which had been far away for a moment, back to the battlefield.
There are still two left.
Although they seem to have lost their fighting spirit after Kay’s death, they are still cruel and vicious beings.
“I will avenge Kay.”
As expected, Jay was the first to react. There was still no change in their numerical superiority.
“Kay’s constellation is still ‘valid’. If we kill you and collect Kay’s constellations, we will become stronger.”
Roel’s reaction was specific.
It’s a shame that Kay died, but it seems like he was greedy and wanted to get his constellations for himself.
“Yeah, that’s right. I was worried about what would happen if you guys left without even looking back.”
“You cheeky little brat!”
Wow!
Jay, who had fallen for Sang-Hyeon’s provocation, rushed in like lightning, holding a dagger in both hands.
It was just a fleeting moment.
Sang-Hyeon could sense from Jay the same agility and unique killing intent as Shin Tae-Ri.
Of course, that’s when you say it nicely.
In fact, I felt sorry to compare myself to her.
Since he was able to follow Shin Tae-ri’s movements well, he could predict Jay’s movements well.
‘then.’
The characteristic and advantage of the Assassin class is that it can create a variety of unpredictable variables.
Because there is nothing more frightening than disappearing from someone’s sight in an instant or preventing them from chasing you.
But on the other hand,
An assassin who can’t get out of sight and can be chased is too easy. He poses no threat at all.
So Sang-Hyeon decided to let Jay target himself and target Roel first.
No matter how skilled a magic player is, he or she is extremely vulnerable in close combat.
Once you’re attached, there’s no answer.
“acceleration”
Sang-Hyeon, who had entered an accelerated state, cut through the wind and ran straight towards Roel.
The speed was so fast that the pouring raindrops rose and then fell again.
“Jay!”
Roel shouted in a hurry.
Clearly, Jay was the one who went after Sang-Hyeon first, and the fight should have started there… … .
Based on Roel’s ‘common sense’, Sang-Hyeon’s charge was completely incomprehensible.
Could this be a suicide attempt, killing oneself and trying to kill oneself? That doesn’t make sense either.

“You cheeky little brat!”
After all, an assassin is an assassin.
Jay, who had followed behind Sang-Hyeon in an instant, launched a move aimed at Sang-Hyeon’s side.
But at that moment.
“… … !”
Jay could see.
He saw a bright smile on Sang-Hyeon’s lips as he glanced at him.
‘no way?’
Trying to lure yourself?
Before numerous predictions and speculations could come to Jay’s mind, Sang-Hyeon’s nameless sword changed direction sharply.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sang-Hyeon’s greatsword attack, which he pushed forward with his strength. Jay was busy blocking it.
I followed him, saying I was aiming for Sang-Hyeon, but I ended up getting counterattacked instead.
This aspect of combat has never been experienced before.
Is it true that the act of targeting someone is actually ‘false’, and instead, it targets a colleague who is coming to help?
It was a plausible strategy, but it was a bad move that could have resulted in attacks from both sides if done wrong.
This means that there is a very high chance that it will be self-inflicted. However, it seems that Sang-Hyeon does not move according to the probability.
yet.
Love liquid!
“Ugh!”
Unable to stop Sang-Hyeon’s rough attack, Jay gave up his ship.
At that moment.
‘What is this…?’
Jay was shocked to see that his abdomen was cut deeper than he had expected.
Despite being an assassin who had to keep his body as light as possible, he wore two layers of armor.
It also reflected Jay’s personality, which was cautious and he hated being harmed by his enemies.
It’s not like I’m wearing any flimsy armor.
It was a kind of ‘iron wall’ that was made up of a fairly thick non-artifact armor layered on top of an epic-grade artifact.
But it broke through.
The artifact is torn!
It was an absurd result for Jay, who didn’t know that Sang-Hyeon had linked the weakness enhancement with the Whisper of the Sage.
Expectations keep being broken.
Kay paid the price with his death.
And Jay, too, instinctively felt that he too could suffer a similar fate.
It wasn’t that I was scared just because I was caught off guard.
This is because a ‘one-time’ attack from Sang-Hyeon caused a serious problem to the artifact.
How many players can damage an epic artifact with a single hit?
At least, it was something that was only possible when the person was more skilled than you.
It means that there is a being that must be looked up to.
However, the level of Sang-Hyeon that I had figured out was in the early 200s. The gap between the information I knew and the skills I had seen with my own eyes was too big. It was enough to cause cognitive dissonance.
Where did it go wrong?
When they first entered Korea illegally, the three had rosy prospects.
First, I planned to kill Sang-Hyeon, who had recently been growing rapidly, and eat his constellation.
Even if I don’t know, there must be a constellation that can help with explosive growth.
Many variables were taken into consideration!
I never thought from the beginning that the plan would go awry. It definitely did… … .
Gurrrrrr! Rumble, bang bang!
Like the worst weather with thunder and lightning, Jay and Roel’s fate was flowing in the same way.
* * *
After a while.
“Whew. If you came here to kill someone, you should have at least considered giving up your lives.”
Sang-Hyeon washed the blood off his nameless sword in the pouring rain.
His cold gaze was directed at the three corpses, which were growing even colder.
Jay and Roel.
The two of them also followed in Kay’s footsteps.
In particular, Roel was found dead in a horrifying state, having fallen forward while trying to escape.
There wasn’t a single scratch on Sang-Hyeon’s body.
In the first place, Roel, a wizard, couldn’t even touch Sang-Hyeon.
Since most skills are structured to consume less than 100 mana, they are all blocked on the path of anti-demonization.
This is literally the worst.
Roel never once helped his comrade Jay even while he was dying.
He could only watch as the magic skill he had worked so hard to use passed by without even brushing past Sang-Hyeon.
“It doesn’t seem like a picture that will satisfy you with defeating these guys.”
Sang-Hyeon’s expression did not change.
If it were my old self, I would have smiled in joy at having won.
Right now, it just felt like I had beaten an opponent I was supposed to beat.
Level 300 players?
Now he could be sure that he would not be his opponent.
It was calculated that even a named player like Lee Se-hwa, the ‘Crimson Flame of Madness’, would be worth fighting one-on-one.
The gaze is directed higher.
Named players in the early level 500s, such as Shin Tae-ri and Jo Jin-ho.
Now I feel like I want to fight against an enemy of that level.
After getting over them.
From then on, we will be looking at the mid to late 500s or even 600s, like Do Kyung-soo or Jerron D.K.
Right then.
Sssssut.
There was a sound of people quickly approaching in the darkness.
I couldn’t see the person’s face, but I could guess from the circumstances. It must be Lee Yeon-il sent by Han Hyeon-jeong.
As expected.
Lee Yeon, who had briefly revealed herself, lowered her head.
“It is true that I should not show up as promised. But it is the Master’s order.”
“It’s been a while.”
Sang-Hyeon laughed.
There was no animosity towards Lee Yeon. There was no lingering grudge from their first meeting.
I only laid out the conditions for victory in the duel and demanded that they be faithfully maintained.
“It was an unexpected result. I was waiting for the right time to help, but… … .”
Lee Yeon pushed her hair to the side, covering one eye.
It was because the rain was pouring down and the hair that was falling forward was blocking my vision too much.
Her right eye, which had always been covered, was revealed for the first time.
‘Odd eyes.’
A being with both blue eyes and black eyes.
Lee Yeon’s right eye was a clear and beautiful blue, like looking at a sapphire.
“As you can see, the result is like this.”
“I respect you.”
Sang-Hyeon shrugged his shoulders.
Lee Yeon folded one hand and took a polite bow.
Watching the battle with the trio from the beginning, Lee Yeon felt certain.
Sang-Hyeon’s skills were far, far above his own.
What particularly astonished her was the peculiar ‘ability’ to completely incapacitate wizards.
Magic that clearly flies towards the upper world, but eventually changes direction and goes somewhere else.
For this to become a reality, there was only one possible case.
‘You mean you obtained an artifact of the Almighty rank? How on earth did you get it? Where did you get such a precious item that even the Master couldn’t obtain…?’
Lee Yeon was wondering about that.
Why are you always by Sang-Hyeon’s side?
Why on earth do things that seem impossible just happen?
