Chapter 121

Level 2 Player

Aftermath

“W-what?”

So Chanseong asked with a surprised expression.

“I said I am the one who annihilated the Sahyeolmun branch in the start city.”

At Jin-su’s calm words, everyone including So Chanseong made blank expressions.

“What origin language is that guy using? Musung origin? Or Arius origin?”

“Neither. That is one of the languages Earth origin players use.”

“An Earth origin player annihilated the Sahyeolmun branch?”

“If those words are true, Sahyeolmun has gone as far as it can go.”

“That is not it. It is not that there are no super masters among Earth origin players either.”

“Well, that is true.”

At the murmuring voices of the spectators, the face of So Chanseong who was making a blank expression distorted like an evil ghost.

“Where are you spouting such red lies! Did you receive a request from Changseongmun!”

So Chanseong spat out a roar of anger.

“Would there really be a player who lies risking life even if receiving a large price?”

On the other hand, Jin-su answered logically with a calm tone.

“Heung! It might be an unknown matter, a fool who fell for Changseongmun’s sweet words to cover their sins.”

“You or your friends might be that stupid, but I am not.”

At Jin-su’s calm answer, So Chanseong’s face flushed red.

“I have a sorry heart toward Changseongmun. I did not know that the thing I did would be framed on Changseongmun.”

Jin-su calmly turned his body and even apologized to the martial artists of Changseongmun including Ak Chanseo.

“Ah, for reference, the reason I ended up fighting with the Changseongmun branch in the start city is because those guys first attacked me who was in the hunting ground. In easy words, it was self-defense. So how about going back now?”

Jin-su who finished the apology turned his body again, spoke to So Chanseong, and waved his hand as if chasing away a group of street dogs, telling them to go quickly.

“Changseongmun brought one crazy guy to avoid the crisis! Do you think you can hide the truth like that! I will kill all!”

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

So Chanseong swung the sword wrapped in a blood-colored sword force bundle toward Jin-su along with those words.

‘Strangely, he keeps clinging to Changseongmun.’

The party who attacked the Sahyeolmun branch of the start city appeared, and the reason was also explained. Yet, Sahyeolmun continued to try to link and attack Changseongmun.

‘It is a feeling that the purpose is not finding the true culprit but coming to pick a fight with Changseongmun.’

Whether that feeling is truth or lies, it was fine if finding out from now on.

Srrrng!

Jin-su drew the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword.

Clang!

The Baekcheon Divine Sword wrapped in a pure white sword force bundle lightly deflected So Chanseong’s sword.

Shuk!

At the same time, the Blood-Sucking Sword was swung toward So Chanseong.

“Heup!”

The startled So Chanseong deployed the protective aura with full power and twisted his body. However, perhaps because he could not even imagine a counterattack in his dreams, avoiding the body was too late.

Slash!

The protective aura was cut, and So Chanseong’s side was longly cut.

“Keuk!”

While So Chanseong was making a surprised expression, Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword again.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

So Chanseong began to be pushed poorly by Jin-su’s fierce attacks.

“How can such a thing be?”

So Chanseong was making an expression full of astonishment as if unable to believe the fact that he is being unilaterally pushed.

“Attack!”

At the same time as giving an order to the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun, they rushed toward Jin-su all at once.

‘Yeah, I knew it would be like this.’

Although the probability was close to zero, Jin-su was thinking of just sending them if So Chanseong and Sahyeolmun retreated obediently. Although it is a fight that started with the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun rushing first, if the ring of grudges continues, more blood has no choice but to flow.

‘Sweep overwhelmingly.’

To prevent greater damage, he has to show force to the degree where Sahyeolmun does not even dare think of retaliation and lowers the tail first.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Pure white sword force bundles and blood-colored sword force bundles burned like torches.

Splat!

Pure white sword force bundles and blood-colored sword force bundles were swung, and the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun died in heaps. Swords with sword force condensed were torn like sheets of paper.

“He is an enormous master! Unfold the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation!”

At the same time as So Chanseong’s shout, the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun resonated mana.

‘The Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation. It is a quite usable formation.’

Jin-su had experienced the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation before regression. It was a skill linkage of quite high completeness, with the effect of linking each other’s mana to disperse impact and raise attack power.

‘If mid-low level players join forces and unfold it, even high-level players could not avoid struggling.’

The biggest effect is impact dispersion.

Kwaaaang!

The sword force bundle emitted from the Blood-Sucking Sword was barely blocked by the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun. It was a level that the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun absolutely cannot block, but they endured by dispersing the impact with the power of the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation.

To break such a combined formation, there was no choice but to find the place that is the weakness of the combined formation and attack, or crush the combined formation itself with overwhelming power.

‘But my circumstances are different.’

However, Jin-su did not need to use those two methods unnecessarily.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The pure white sword force bundle emitting from the Baekcheon Divine Sword flew toward the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun. The faces of the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun who blocked the sword force bundle the Blood-Sucking Sword emitted a little while ago were full of confidence.

Crack!

The pure white sword force bundle wrapping the Baekcheon Divine Sword too easily shattered the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation and swept the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun.

“Keok!”

“How can this be?”

“To think the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation collapsed!”

The players affiliated with Sahyeolmun seemed to have received a large shock at the fact that the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation broke. But this was a natural result.

‘The Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation is also only a skill in the end.’

Due to skillization, the completeness of the combined formation would have risen greatly overall, but conversely speaking, it also meant entering under the influence of the system. And effects made as skills could not escape the influence of the skill nullification the Baekcheon Divine Sword possesses unless the level is quite high.

“Aak!”

“Keooek!”

“How such a monster!”

“It is sorcery! Sorcery!”

Once the Baekcheon Divine Sword ate even the sword force and defense skills following the Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation, the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun fell into panic as is.

‘The Baekcheon Divine Sword option is also subtly strong to the weak and weak to the strong.’

Against targets where skill nullification does not work, the Baekcheon Divine Sword is only a well-cutting sword. However, against those where skill nullification eats 100%, it boasts the appearance of invincibility literally.

‘Well, since it often activates even on higher level skills.’

Still, what boasts the best efficiency was when fighting an enemy with similar skill levels. Even if not 100%, it activates quite often and gnaws at the opponent’s skills, so one can unconditionally take the upper hand.

“What are the shamans and healers doing! Bind that guy’s feet quickly!”

So Chanseong spat out a roar of anger.

“T-the curse does not work!”

“Shamanism is the same!”

“What nonsense is that!”

At the words that the curse and shamanism do not work, So Chanseong let out a roar. However, this was a natural matter.

Primarily, the Baekcheon Divine Sword nullifies curses or shamanism. Even if there is a curse or shamanism that arrived aiming for a gap, the blessing and protection received from Shin Su-a in advance block primarily, the Curse Predator skill the Black Dragon’s Cursed Armor possesses blocks secondarily, the curse absorption skill blocks tertiarily, and the high mental power stat blocks quartiarily.

Even so, if there is a curse or shamanism that catches?

‘It is fine if using the purify skill and dispel skill.’

Also, when dealing with Son Sang-hyeok, he did not do full power for the skillization work. Even though he could emit stronger power, he moderately controlled the power, and even though he could move faster, he deliberately moved slowly.

Mana was also restricted in output.

However, now it was not.

He was doing full power to make them not even dare antagonize him twice.

Slash!

“Keok!”

“Too fast!”

The players affiliated with Sahyeolmun whose Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation collapsed could not even properly react to Jin-su’s attacks. Even if somehow luckily succeeding in defense, the result did not change greatly.

Kwaaaang!

“Uaaaak!”

Because it was fine if pressing with powerful strength. The number of players affiliated with Sahyeolmun decreased quickly.

“Damn it!”

Tak!

At that time, So Chanseong threw his body as is and chose escape.

‘What, there is such a guy?’

Even if demonic path, there is a basic degree that must be kept. Not even giving a withdrawal order to the subordinates and fleeing alone?

“Ha, to think abandoning the subordinates. How can that be.”

“To think the Blood Dog Hand So Chanseong was such a small person.”

“He was a guy worse than not a blood dog but a side dog.”

So Chanseong naturally bought the ridicule of the players around. However, what was important to So Chanseong was not the ridicule of other players or his own reputation that dropped to the floor.

‘I have to live. Even if a little late, I die.’

Only a powerful survival instinct was full in So Chanseong’s mind.

Actually, he noticed at the moment of first exchanging swords. That the opponent is a master of a level incomparable to himself...

However, not wanting to acknowledge that, he made unreasonable demands.

The result of that unreasonable demand was too cruel. The elite martial artists of Sahyeolmun lost their lives too emptily. The Sahyeol Eight Trigrams Formation that he hung the last expectation on also did not work.

With a just-in-case heart, he urged the healers and shamans. Yet, it is said that curses and shamanism also do not work.

‘What means is there to win against such a guy.’

He had to live first and see.

“Aaaak!”

“Keok!”

While hearing the screams of the dying subordinates, So Chanseong moved his steps even faster. So Chanseong stripped the city in an instant. Then the screams of the subordinates were no longer heard.

Only then did the heart of how to handle the aftermath bloom.

‘I am never one who abandoned the subordinates and fled.’

It is only that he moved urgently because informing the existence of that monster to the Sahyeolmun headquarters was the urgent priority.

‘Yeah, I only scratched my honor for the greater good.’

So Chanseong moved his legs diligently while granting justification to his own actions.

Splat!

At that time, the ground suddenly split, and a huge something with sharp teeth flying like a saw blade popped out.

‘It is a sand worm. This is not even a desert, so why did this guy pop out?’

So Chanseong was startled and swung the sword.

Clang!

So Chanseong’s sword and the sand worm’s teeth collided, and sparks flew.

‘Why of all times now.’

The anger of So Chanseong who was urgent by the moment exploded.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Blood-colored sword force bundles emitted from So Chanseong’s sword.

‘Get lost.’

So Chanseong swung the sword at the sand worm containing the pent-up resentment piled so far.

Whoosh!

Kwaaaaang!

Along with a large explosive sound, the sand worm’s head was driven into the soil again, and with that recoil, So Chanseong’s body floated into the air.

Splat!

At that time, another sand worm popped out and rushed at So Chanseong.

‘There are even two sand worms?’

So Chanseong was startled.

Clang!

He swung the sword and struck away the sand worm’s teeth.

“Kuwoooek!”

At that time, the sand worm that was driven into the soil raised its head again and rushed.

‘There is no damn time.’

He had to escape this place as quickly as possible. Yet, time was dragged by the two sand worms that suddenly appeared.

‘It is troublesome if causing a commotion.’

Then that monster might come find him. So Chanseong tried to minimize the collision with the sand worms and escape this place.

“Kuweeeek!”

“Kyaaaaak!”

However, the two sand worms, whether So Chanseong is a honey jar they saved, tenaciously chased and attacked.

‘Why are these damn guys like this?’

Not enough that they popped out from a place that is not even a habitat, why are they attacking only himself like crazy?

So Chanseong had been active on Floor 200 for quite a long time, but he had never heard a report that a sand worm appeared even once.

Splat!

So Chanseong scattered the drinking water he carried as emergency in the inventory. He was thinking of shaking them off by utilizing the instinct of the sand worm that seeks moisture.

“Kuwoooek!”

“Aaaaak!”

However, the 2 sand worms persistently attacked only So Chanseong as if not interested in water or whatever.

Boom! Boom!

So Chanseong avoided the sand worms’ attacks this way and that and fled with all his might.

“You fled far in that short time.”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard from behind. At that moment, So Chanseong’s body hardened stiffly like prey facing a predator.
