While there was a brief silence as we explored each other’s distance.
‘In the end, they’re after my organs.’
Sang-Hyeon could easily guess their ultimate goal.
Because the reason someone did it is just a reason, and there must be another real purpose.
Today’s players often damage their health by repeatedly overworking themselves beyond their limits.
In such cases, the heart, liver, and lungs are often strained, and problems with their function later occur.
The important fact is that with the introduction of magic stones into the world along with players, new changes have also occurred in medicine.
A representative example was organ transplant surgery using the imprint of a magic stone.
Organ transplants for ordinary people usually involve the administration of postmortem immunosuppressants, but in the case of players, after imprinting the magic stone on the organ and going through the bionic process, immunosuppressants were not necessary.
The era of easy organ replacement began. From then on, the demand for organs naturally increased. Naturally, demand also increased significantly through illegal channels.
‘If I lose here, my corneas will be in Seoul, my lungs will be in Daejeon, my liver will be in Busan… … I’ll be traveling all over the country.’
Sang-Hyeon smiled bitterly.
Of course that won’t happen.
If it seemed dangerous in the first place, I wouldn’t have even started provoking these guys.
Peeing!
Meanwhile, the sound of an archer who had been sneaking to the side drawing his bowstring and releasing an arrow could be heard.
In his previous life, Sang-Hyeon had fought countless times against archers who persistently targeted players of the same inspection world as him.
Conflicts and wars between players! It was common after the world order collapsed in 2040.
‘I guess that’s it.’
Saaaaak!
Sang-Hyeon’s gaze was fixed solely on the inspectors in front, not on the arrows… … .
Nevertheless, the arrow was cut down without a single inch of error by the greatsword swung sensually.
Even though it was a powerful attack with a lot of mana, the arrow was neutralized without any momentum.
“I’ll handle it!”
Among the three inspectors, one player with a particularly bad wound in one eye stood up to Sang-Hyeon with great courage.
“Wouldn’t it be better if everyone came?”
“You’re wasting your time, kid!”
“okay?”
Sang-Hyeon laughed and rushed towards ‘Squinty Eyes’. He was a swordsman holding a one-handed sword.
‘It’s in bad shape?’
The squint-eyed man instinctively felt that the path that Sang-hyeon took, which was coming in too honestly, was indeed the same.
It was so dull, so dull.
This was originally a characteristic of players who wielded greatswords. They tried to suppress the opponents with brute force.
‘If I just slip in and stab in the side, everything will be fine.’
I’ve finished my own calculations.
And as Sang-Hyeon dug in honestly, he dodged slightly as planned and tried to hit Sang-Hyeon right next to him.
“… … ?”
Then, something unbelievable happened.
The center of gravity of Sang-Hyeon, which had been leaning forward, shifted in an instant, and the path of the greatsword changed dramatically.
A long sword that looks heavy at first glance. Sang-Hyeon held it with only his right hand and struck it lightly to the side.
A perfect deception. An unconventional sword technique that extends the sword in an unpredictable path!
Love liquid!
“Kwaaak!”
The tip of the greatsword passed by, barely slicing through my side. It was a blessing in disguise.
But the problem started from here.
“Huh?”
My body was stiff.
My body stopped as if I was being pressed hard by a pair of scissors while sleeping. For a moment, I thought it was an illusion or a hallucination, but it wasn’t.
“Hey! What are you doing standing still?”
It was because of the cries of other colleagues who saw me standing there defenseless and unable to do anything.
“I told you that it would be good for everyone to come.”
“Eww!”
It was the first time in my life that I had heard such a creepy voice.
Only then did the squint-eyed man fully realize why Sang-Hyeon had given him such a warning.
Of course, the price was high.
At the end of enlightenment.
Because the head that had been cleanly cut off by Sang-Hyeon’s greatsword was flying toward the clear sky of the dungeon.
Kuung!
The body, which had fallen in the opposite direction of the direction in which the neck had been blown off, fluttered for a moment before quickly becoming quiet.
“Juntae is dead!”
“No, how could this be…?”
The remaining three panicked.
It was a death that was completely unexpected.
I had already obtained enough information about Sang-Hyeon in advance, so of course I did not rush in recklessly.
Even Sang-Hyeon was well aware that he could induce a state of stiffness with his skills. He did mock training as a basic.
But the victory or defeat was decided right at the intersection of basic swordsmanship. This was unexpected.

Moreover, Kim Jun-tae, whose head had just been blown off, was the highest level player among the four.
Level 100. I wouldn’t say he was very skilled, but he was skilled enough that he wouldn’t be easily defeated in the early stages of battle.
However, he was unable to inflict even a small injury on Sang-Hyeon, and his head was blown off while he was still standing.
“Who’s next?”
“… … !”
Sang-Hyeon’s words flew and pierced me like a knife.
With the strongest player already dead, the fighting spirit of the remaining three was broken.
Of course, there was no intention of backing down here. As Sang-Hyeon had thought, they were after the valuable organs.
Rather, since there was one less mouth, the circuit of happiness was turned into one that thought that if handled well, distribution could increase.
“Just throw it away!”
Peewee! Peewee!
Meanwhile, the archer who had moved behind Sang-Hyeon fired two more arrows.
Bam! Bam!
But this time, Sang-Hyeon didn’t even look back and just shot the arrow.
“fu*k.”
The expression of the player holding the bow distorted. No-look defense! This was the first insult in the world.
“Prove your skills with a sword.”
“fu*k you, you little shit!”
The one-eyed comrade and the half-shaven player who fell for Sang-Hyeon’s provocation began to rush toward Sang-Hyeon.
Why don’t they both rush in at once?
Sang-Hyeon’s doubts were soon resolved. The movement itself was not a type specialized for team play in the first place.
It would be difficult for most players to tell the difference, but it was obvious to Sang-Hyeon, who had thick bones on the battlefield.
Although the sword movement was faster than that of the half-sword, it was a style that opened too quickly towards the shoulder.
‘This one doesn’t even need a Demon Bash.’
If a skill isn’t worth using, it means that your skill level is pathetic.
In fact, Bansak was also a fairly skilled player at level 80, but in Sang-Hyeon’s eyes, he was just a baby.
“Hmph!”
Sang-Hyeon instinctively took a half step back.
Phew!
Then, Bansak’s sword passed horizontally over the spot where Sang-Hyeon was just barely there.
Since we spent an important turn first, the equivalent exchange is out of the question.
Pfft!
Immediately, Sang-Hyeon leapt forward on his hind legs and cut off the neck with the greatsword he was holding tightly.
It was a meticulous counterattack that was not even calculated to be blocked from Bansak’s perspective.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The half-shaven head that had fallen to the ground split open and rolled pitifully between the dirt furrows.
Shuaah!
At that moment, another arrow flew from behind him, this time with a rather loud sound.
‘It’s probably a charging shot.’
They say that a dog in a village can recite poetry after three years of study, but didn’t he have 30 years of experience as a player?
Sang-Hyeon could easily tell what the archer player was up to just by listening to the changed sound of the wind.
‘How about this?’
Sang-Hyeon, who had a funny idea at that moment, turned his body with all his might.
Then he raised his sword in his right hand and threw it with all his might towards the archer as if he were throwing a javelin.
To give the greatsword itself some more momentum, the Demon Bash skill was also added.
Because it also has the function of giving the sword itself some thrust. It was a good arrangement.
Swaaaah!
“no…….”
The archer despaired at the sight that followed.
As soon as Sang-Hyeon turned around, the greatsword he had swung instantly cut the arrow into pieces and it was flying towards him.
It was much faster than I thought.
Moreover, the sight of a heavy greatsword flying wildly was enough to take one’s soul away.
This is because I have never seen an opponent use a greatsword as a long-range attack in this way before.
Phew!
“Ugh.”
Before his body could even react, the greatsword pierced the center of his face.
Red blood flowed down the back of the archer’s head as he died with his bow still in hand. It was a miserable end.
“How on earth did we… … .”
The face of the player who was the only one of the four remaining, or rather, now alone, turned pale.
Today was a surprise attack that followed their unique plundering formula that has proven successful every time so far.
I was targeting solo players, not those with companions, and I thought my skill level was sufficient to subdue them.
Even the pre-practice and design were done with the stiffness-inducing ability in mind!
But I got screwed and the price was too high.
While he was absent-minded for a moment, Sang-Hyeon was standing in front of the sole survivor, like a grim reaper.
“There’s one left.”
Sang-Hyeon’s concluding remarks.
After that, the player’s memory was cut off, as he had crossed a path from which there was no return.
* * *
“I will never have a saint as my constellation in this life either. My karma has piled up like this.”
Sang-Hyeon nodded with an indifferent expression as he washed the blood that had stained his greatsword in a nearby stream.
There are some constellations that particularly hate killing. Players who contract with such constellations are usually healer players.
Because if you focus solely on healing, you won’t have to kill monsters directly. The same goes for hostile players.
There are many famous constellations among the saints, but it seemed that they would never have anything to do with me.
Sang-Hyeon started collecting artifacts one by one from the four dead players.
From the bow the archer had, to the other three swords, and the accessories. A total of eight silver-grade artifacts.
Even though I could easily get at least 40 million won each if I disposed of them, I had no intention of selling them.
I decided that it would be much better to eat them since each had stats specialized in agility and strength.
Money is earned once it’s earned, but once an artifact is sold, it won’t come back unless you buy it again.
“uh?”
At that moment, something caught Sang-Hyeon’s attention. It was the ring that the half-shaven player was wearing on his hand.
There was a beautiful jewel embedded in it that looked exactly like the blue sea, and it looked unusual.
“Recovery Ring”
■ Artifact Grade: Silver
■ Artifact Introduction: Using 10 mana, you can instantly remove all status effects on yourself.
If you use it again within 1 minute, the amount of mana consumed will be doubled.
■ Special Effects – Recovery
“I never thought I’d get a status-abnormality-removing ring here. I met the wrong master. Well, I didn’t even feel it was worth putting on stiffness, so I just cut off his head.”
When I looked back, I saw the half-shaven player’s head lying miserably on the floor, unable to close his eyes. Of course, I was not impressed.
“I can’t stand this.”
It went straight into sync.
For the Inspector player who often has to deal physical damage, immediate removal of abnormal status is very important.
When you meet a strong opponent, the recoil and stiffness that comes back to you are all abnormal conditions.
If we can release this immediately, it becomes possible to gain a bit more aggressive advantage.
Shaaaa.
Soon, the ring that had been shaped like food in my subconscious revealed itself brilliantly.
“It smells like chicken, but why is the sauce like this?”
The food that Sang-Hyeon encountered was a terrible hybrid he had never expected. It was well-fried chicken covered in an emerald-colored sauce.
A sharp smell that hits the tip of your nose.
It was mint chocolate chicken.
The gates of hell opened in a place I never expected.
