Episode 76 – The Snow Mountain Dragon Slaying (1)
The next day.
The broadcast time of Lee Kyung-bok, which many people have been waiting for, has arrived. The chat room is already bustling.
– It's 10 minutes before the broadcast, what are the viewers?
-Wow lol is it true that there are already 8,000 people waiting?
-What the heck is the growth rate!
-This is a company that has opened branches and has been featured in the media. What are the problems?
-Really lol. Metagamers are the media's top priority for trolls.
-Why does it take 10 minutes?
After a brief chatter among viewers, it was soon one minute before the broadcast started.
A golden flash erupted across the black screen.
-????
-What is it? What is starting?
-Oh lol I guess they changed the intro
-Robin! Bring me the popcorn!
-Have a seat! Have a seat!
Unlike the original intro, Lee Kyung-bok's appearance in Elden Soul appeared. And the person who faced him was the awakened gravedigger.
Lee Kyung-bok jumps in, cutting through the sword he had drawn. The screen changes naturally as the thick dust settles.
Eclipse followed, and the two engaged in a fierce battle. Lee Kyung-bok took the lead amidst the splendid sword dance.
The sword soared high with a clang, and when it fell back down, the opponent was not Eclipse, but Newton.
The battle situation changed in an instant, and Lee Kyung-bok swung his sword toward Newton with a smile.
But what's torn isn't Newton's seat, but the screen itself. Behind the torn screen, along with the Perfect Play Channel logo, a rough script-scrawled phrase appears.
['Elden's First Sword']
The intro video ended with Lee Kyung-bok on the screen smiling after finishing his sword fight.
-Wowㅋㅋㅋ What was the intro quality?
-Ah, haha. If this is the case, I have no choice but to wait before the broadcast!
-Editor, are you reflecting the trend?
-(Purple Dojangcone)(Purple Dojangcone)(Purple Dojangcone)
-Reallyㅋㅋㅋ Even the editor did it perfectlyㅋㅋㅋ
-I only saw the intro and I already got goosebumpsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The Gotple broadcast is different, but what makes it different?
The chat room was filled with compliments. The intro was a video that only viewers waiting before the broadcast saw anyway, and even then, viewers didn't pay attention. That's why most people just make one intro and worry about it.
But Choi Byeong-hun didn't do that. He was an editor who knew the importance of details.
“Tha!”
The screen changed and Lee Kyung-bok greeted us brightly.
-Phew! Phew!
-(Perhakon)(Perhakon)
-Junior Elbungi meets Elden Jeilgeom!
-Ah hahaha, you mean the best sword in Korea?
-Are you using the martial arts concept here too? Lol
Chats that come up in an instant.
Along with that, messages of support poured in as if they had been waiting for it.
['Seo-yeok-Indo-Injeong' donated '30,000' won.]
[Elden's First Sword broadcast recognized by English speaking countries! Sweet!]
['There is no 600,000 won' donated '60,000' won.]
[Congrats on reaching 600,000 on the Pertube channel!]
['Full broadcast is also fun' donated '200,000' won.]
[We are giving a commemorative gift for exceeding 200,000 branches hehe]
The growth of the Pertube channel also gained momentum immediately after the duel that attracted a lot of attention. Viewers celebrated the fact and poured in support.
“Oh, thank you so much for the congratulatory sponsorship! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Metagamer, Eclipse, and Newton, who was a secret guest.”
-You're really humble at times like this, lol
-What about the Newton seat in the meantime?
-Ah haha, in reality, Newton is the big shot!
-Really ㅋㅋ If you look at the sponsorship rankings, Newton is number 1.
-What are you doing, Q-Dari? Are you going to lose first place like this? Lol!
-The suspicious behavior of the still-still Q-dari is a loser lol
Lee Kyung-bok smiled while looking at the chat window. After finishing his support and thanks, he drew attention with applause.
“Now, today we will proceed with the remaining story of Elden Soul.”
He was just about to stop sponsoring the game.
['I like Korea' donated '10,000' won.]
[I'm new here. I haven't seen the previous broadcast. Could you explain a little bit?]
Just in time, a message of support appeared.
-No lol If you want to get in, you should go and watch Pertube
-Pingpjil with sponsorship? This is obviously a troll lol
-Just ignore it
-Really ㅋㅋ Ignoring is the answer to the spectator

-Paid van each one lol
-That's only 10,000 won lol
The chat window's response was negative. Lee Kyung-bok also thought that he could not grant this request.
If it weren't for the immediate follow-up support.
['Korea Likes' donated '$1,000'.]
Lee Kyung-bok blinked his eyes.
'Dollar?'
The amount was written in '$' instead of 'won'. I wondered if it was a mistake.
[Sorry, I used up all my Korean currency. I'm American. I only speak a little Korean. I asked my Korean friend to help me. Interpreting for 6 hours was impossible.]
Looking at the support message below, he could immediately understand the situation. Lee Kyung-bok nodded slightly.
“Oh, I’ll just give a brief explanation of this.”
-Ah… Ahh… …
-Unable to continue speaking… …
-Kill all the people who cursed at me earlier!
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ I was going to watch the full video ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-6 hours of interpretation was way over the line lol
-Oh, it's not 1000 won, it's dollars? Then how much is it now?
-It's about 140,000 won lol
-This is King Jeong
There was no one who opposed it because the mood of the viewers had also changed.
“I won’t tell you twice because I’m going to start playing right away. Just focus.”
Lee Kyung-bok said playfully and briefly explained the previous story.
“I learned that he was a knight while dealing with the gravedigger, and I awakened him to obtain a complete soul. I used that to make a deal with the hazy witch and unlocked the witch’s spell. Additionally, I caught a vengeful golem and went with the witch. In the capital, I plan to form an alliance with the knights and go to the church.”
-Why does it seem so easy when you explain it in words?
-That process isn't simple lol
-Really ㅋㅋ The main thing is the inhuman level performance.
-But you can see that just by watching the video lol
-The summary explanation was also perfect
Both viewers and sponsors were satisfied with the explanation that only touched on the main points.
['Korea Likes' donated '$500'.]
[Thank you. I understand. Study Korean hard! I want to drip later. I love you!]
-Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Godple has really become a global streamer
-Please, if you are an Earthling, subscribe to Pertube!
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ A Korean has become an Earthling
-Ah haha later it'll probably become a galaxy
-Why are you thinking of making jokes after learning Korean? Lol!
-A foreigner who wants to be a trainee? You're so funny, lol
Lee Kyung-bok responded with a smile.
“If you watch the broadcast, what does your nationality matter? Oh, but I’m not good at English. If there are any other foreigners watching the broadcast, you should study Korean hard.”
-Oh lol, so you have no intention of studying?
-Oh but this is correct lol
-Really lol. The person who feels sorry should learn.
-Me, born Korean? I like it.
-Only in this broadcast is it not Hell Joseon but God Joseon.
– King Sejong would probably be happy to subscribe too
-Half the world's population was lost!
-The listenersㅋㅋㅋThey went crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter at the intense reaction in the chat window. But he couldn’t delay any longer.
“Okay, now let the real game begin!”
The background changed immediately.
The location changed as the Elden Soul logo passed by. It was the Knights' barracks where the previous broadcast ended.
“Then let’s go to church.”
As requested by the Knight Commander, Blondeau, I had to obtain the Holy House of the Knights Templar.
* * *
Lee Kyung-bok passed through the ruined village again. On the opposite side of the road leading to the Knights Templar was a tall cathedral.
Unusually, a large, dome-shaped, translucent curtain was spread out around the cathedral.
“Anyone can see that this is a protective shield.”
The chat window immediately responded to Lee Kyung-bok's comment.
-Yeah, that's right.
-Unlike the Knights Templar, the Orthodox Church seems to be hiding because it is weak.
-Ah, I don't know how much of it is a spoiler, so I can't say anything ㅋㅋㅋ
-Then just look at it!
-You'll regret it if you miss the broadcast because you got banned for no reasonㅋㅋㅋㅋ
There were a lot of viewers, but there were few comments related to the story. The direction was clear, so Lee Kyung-bok hurried his steps without hesitation.
“That is the sanctuary of the Orthodox Church.”
As they got closer, the witch sitting on his shoulder whispered. I thought, “Oh, that’s right,” but Lee Kyung-bok immediately frowned.
'Are they dead?'
A sense of threat and a sticky unpleasantness, an enemy not far away.
As if that prediction was correct, after only a few steps, I lost control of my body.
“But… … something seems strange.”
“You think it’s strange?”
“The Orthodox saint is adept at power. But the size of that sanctuary is beyond her ability by any stretch of the imagination.”
The witch tilted her head as if she didn't understand.
-Isn't Mini Nuna so cute?
-Really ㅋㅋ Even if you sell it as DLC, I'll buy it right away ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, lol. I can't do business with Prom. I should release it right away and think about selling it as goods!
-I'm so jealous of Elden Soul with Nuna's commentary
-Wow lol, you're telling me this here
The viewers enjoyed the sight, but the impression was very short-lived.
“You’ll find out when you go.”
The moment the protagonist answered.
“Ugh… … !”
“This is a divine punishment… … AAAH!”
“Oh, no!”
Immediately, screams and bangs were heard. The protagonist hurriedly headed towards the direction from which the sounds were coming.
It was the border of the shield.
“For traitors… there is only death… …!”
“Open the way!”
The knights, clad in blood, were slaughtering the priests and trying to destroy the shield with their weapons.
-What is it? Are they the Knights Templar?
-What the heck;;; Aren't they fu*king thugs?
-Ah, this is the same as the existing route.
-I'm really surprised that you joined the Knights Templar because of this.
-Really lol, why is there a Knights Templar alliance route?
The viewers didn't hide their doubts. The main character was no different.
“Why are the knights… … ?”
The cutscene was supposed to end there, but this time it was different.
“Broken ones, their souls are already tainted.”
“Contamination?”
“The death of my comrades, anxiety about the future, repressed desires… The reasons are varied. I clung to my mission to hold on to my worn-out spirit, but it only brought me trouble.”
The witch's voice sank deeply. An unconcealable sadness seeped out from within.
“It was their obsession with their mission… that corrupted them.”
The viewers couldn't hide their surprise at the witch's explanation.
-Huh? What is it?
-Then is it different from the Knights Templar?
-Does that mean those knights are dead?
-No;;; Break the drift here
On the other hand, Lee Kyung-bok understood the reason for the discomfort felt by those knights in that explanation.
Meanwhile, the cutscene continued.
“Everything… for the protection of the kingdom… …!”
“We… must become stronger… … !”
The knights dug through the corpses of the priests and absorbed their souls. A sharp glare rolled around inside the veiled helmets. Eventually, the glare turned to the protagonist.
The moment our eyes met.
“He is a traitor!”
The faces of the fallen knights all turned at once at the roaring shout.
Control came back with him. It was straight into battle.
-Who dares to look at you fallen knights? Lol
-Ah haha where are you in front of Elden's First Sword haha
-Really lol, you can just cut it down with a sword
-Perfect style swordsmanship, just have a taste!
The viewers had no doubts about Lee Kyung-bok's victory. He had shown superior skills even against Eclipse, so there was no reason for him to have trouble against these opponents.
It was definitely like that.
-But isn't the Godple equipment a longsword with a broken blade?
-uh?
-Wow haha that's right haha
-But isn't it a black sword?
-No;;; A dagger and a sword are a bit different
-Elden Jeilgeom doesn't have a sword?
-Ah! This isn't a duel!
Viewers quickly realized the problem: the equipment was given out in duels, but it did not advance the story.
The weapon that Lee Gyeong-bok took out was the basic, sharp long sword that was issued as a standard item.
Although anxiety was sprouting in the chat window, the person involved had an indifferent expression.
“Hmm, that would be nice.”
Lee Kyung-bok quickly scanned the rushing knights and pointed to one.
The moment question marks began to fill the chat window, he too kicked the ground and rushed forward.
Sparks flew with a loud crack. The fallen knight who was facing Lee Kyung-bok fiercely swung his sword.
“What is this… … .”
However, Lee Gyeong-bok accepted the attack with a calm tone.
Compared to Eclipse, his swordsmanship was so poor that it made him yawn. He skillfully blocked the sword strike without having to concentrate separately.
“Ugh!”
The sword flew out of the fallen knight’s grasp with a groan. Lee Kyung-bok lightly squeezed through the gap in the helmet and thrust his sword in.
-Wow! As expected, Elden's best sword!
-Ah hahaha even a broken sword is still a sword!
-Wow lol With a dagger?
-Where are you going to class?
-What are you worried about, Gotple?
-Godple, who gives some slack to the tense Elden industry
-What are you talking about? Lol
The chat window was filled with admiration.
But in the following scene, admiration again turned into question marks.
The fallen knight's sword, which had been thrown into the air, did not fall. Instead, it blocked the fallen knight's path as he charged towards the flank.
-?????????
-what?
-omg?
-Is it a bug? Why does the sword move on its own?
-I'm so touched lol I'm so touched lol
It wasn't just blocking the way. It blocked the sword strikes of the fallen swordsman as if it were alive.
Lee Kyung-bok wrinkled his nose as he kicked the dead fallen knight.
“Well, it seems that there is a limit to how much power can be gained through sorcery.”
At those words, the viewers understood the situation.
-Wow lol. You controlled the sword with a dragon stem?
-You didn't just catch it, you used swordsmanship?
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-Is this the sword technique or something?
-Elden Soul is… a classic martial arts game…!
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ This isn't a joke, this is real martial artsㅋㅋㅋ
-You're so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Purple… He is the one and only!
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the viewers' reaction and took back his sword. Then, he lightly adjusted his grip on the sword and glared at the fallen knights.
“Swordsmanship? Anyway, I’ll try this after I raise my ability level more.”
The sword turned red with those words.
Lee Kyung-bok rushed into the midst of the fallen knights without hesitation. The red trajectory began to draw a graceful line and penetrate the fallen knights.
They didn't stay still either. However, their resistance was too weak in front of his swordsmanship. Even if they let go of the sword or held on to it after just one strike, a red line was already drawn.
It took less than two minutes for all the fallen knights to fall. After defeating the last fallen knight, Lee Kyung-bok let out a light breath and bowed down.
-Wow, I'm really tired
-This is seriously crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ It doesn't even take 3 minutes to deal with 12 reporters
-Ah, lol. Then you can't use it as a ramen timer!
-This is the true Heavenly Demon Lord's Rimbo!
-Majestic Punch! Majestic Punch! Majestic Punch! Majestic Punch! Majestic Punch!
The chat window was filled with cheers from viewers. Lee Kyung-bok let out a faint laugh.
'hmm?'
A different feeling was detected in his intuition.
'It doesn't seem like there are many enemies.'
Fortunately, it wasn't a threat. As he turned his eyes, he heard a murmur from inside the shield.
“A, did you survive… … ?”
“The knights are dead… … !”
“The Savior has come!”
“Ahh! Thank you, thank you!”
Citizens with haggard faces bowed deeply to Lee Gyeong-bok. I wondered what on earth this was.
-Wow hahahahahahahahaha
-Wow lol this one has a different directing too
-Gotple's broadcast is truly unrivaledㅋㅋㅋ
-There are things that you can't see on other broadcasts that keep coming out ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-In the meantime, it's cute how Godple is so confused ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Information) Originally, the Fallen Knight would break through the shield and kill the villagers. This battle is a kind of time attack!
-Speed wagon
-I couldn't even get all of this Eclipse, but this is awesome
Viewers saw the scene and added explanations.
Originally, this battle would have taken time, and during that time, the fallen knights would have entered the sanctuary, causing casualties. However, Lee Kyung-bok dealt with them all in an instant, so it was a completely different production.
“Broken One, your actions could have prevented a greater sacrifice.”
Then a voice came from my shoulder.
The witch golem was looking up at him with a smile.
“Maybe, you are the savior they say.”
Along with him, the witch golem leaned its head gently. The chat window lit up again at that action.
-Mini, give me your eyes
-Is this… the life of the best swordsman?
-ㅁㅇㅁㅇ atmosphere ㅁㅇ
-Me too! Give me a mini-Nuna Golem too!
-Instead, I gave you a cute spirit golem^^
-Gotple broadcast is worth it just for the witch's eyes alone.
Kyungbok Lee also thought the witch golem was cute. However, he couldn't just keep admiring it.
The shield opened to the left and right with a loud bang. The meaning was clear.
-Haha …
-The directing that goes in is also different ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol I originally went in through a torn gap
-Don't you know what it means to behave like a gentleman?
-Ah haha, where would Elden's First Sword slip through the cracks?
Originally, you had to enter through the gap in the protective shield torn by the Fallen Knight, but this time the situation was different. It was obvious that a prepared scene had been prepared instead of tearing through a perfectly good protective shield.
Lee Kyung-bok spoke calmly, looking over the articles he had handled.
“It’s not that great, but it’s still a bit strange. I thought it was just a trash mob for gear farming.”
-to?
-Kitta!!!!!!!!
-Ah haha it would be sad if the deception breath was missing
-Sniff sniff, this is 100% genuine.
-What is a deception expert? LOL
– Seriously lol It's ridiculous, but it's ridiculous for a second time because it's true for Godple
-What the heck is this double nonsense? LOL
The chat room was filled with laughter. Lee Kyung-bok also smiled and walked along.
“Then let’s go see the saint.”
He entered the sanctuary proudly, to the cheers of the people.
