Awe

The alarm rang.
She ignored it.
Tang So-hye was currently engrossed in a video.
A video uploaded to [Community].
Pacheon-gun was defeated by rookies.
Who was Pacheon-gun?
Wasn’t he one of the Hundred Great Masters of the Demonic Cult?
Bearing the alias of Pacheon Fist Demon, he was a master who used the fist techniques of the Pacheon Sect.
The Sichuan Tang Family, a family of the Martial Arts Alliance.
As a member of that family, Tang So-hye was able to quickly receive news that Pacheon-gun had appeared and been defeated.
The video showed the silhouettes of Pacheon-gun and the rookies, whose portrait rights were being protected, clashing.
At first, it seemed Pacheon-gun had the upper hand, but upon closer inspection, they were evenly matched.
The red-armored woman directly confronting Pacheon-gun had reached a level where she could engage in hand-to-hand combat with him, thanks to self-Enhancement and Magical Power Enhancement.
However, for martial artists, brute force was disregarded once a certain level was reached.
Because martial artists were those who had mastered techniques called martial arts.
Even though she wasn’t being pushed back in terms of brute force, the red-armored woman was taking Pacheon-gun’s Heavenly Destruction Fist punches with her body.
Her armor was sturdy enough to withstand them, but the greatsword could only block about 30% of the incoming fists. In fact, that was an impressive level in itself.
───That’s how it was at first.
But as the video progressed,
40%.
50%.
60%.
70%.
80%.
90%.
She had grown to the point where she was blocking about 90% of them.
Those with a keen eye would have noticed.
Tang So-hye was one of them,
And it was mentioned in the video’s comments.
- My guess is that she started blocking better as Pacheon-gun’s head started to float. Could there be some connection with the Shock Magician in the middle?
Tang So-hye commented.
Time passed, and comments were added, but they were all in agreement with Tang So-hye’s comment.
There were no other analyses that Tang So-hye had hoped for.
Anyway,
The video showed Pacheon-gun being pushed back by the rookies’ teamwork.
But Pacheon-gun’s skills weren’t limited to that.
If one of the Hundred Great Masters of the Demonic Cult was defeated so easily, they would have been destroyed long ago.
For some reason, he wasn’t showing his full strength, and his movements seemed slightly weakened.
He was playing around.
But that was only in the beginning.
When it didn’t end easily, his true skills began to emerge sporadically.
Eventually, he used his main skill, Heavenly Destruction Fist, to defeat the red-armored woman and the magician.
The red-armored woman couldn’t dodge and blocked, but she was sent flying despite her defense.
He was left with the Shock Magician rookie,
Some words were exchanged,
And at the moment Pacheon-gun was about to escape.
A flash of light and thunder.
The rookie, who had been charging by using the stage as a battery, discharged at the last moment.
Pacheon-gun, who was the target of that discharge, couldn’t avoid the lightning strike and died instantly.
The victory and defeat were decided absurdly.
Electricity.
‘Could it be…’
What flashed through her mind was the image of a pretty woman gathering her hands and creating sparks.
Americano.
‘Is it her?Just in case, she sent a note, but there was no reply yet.
She probably hasn’t seen it?
It’s already been over a day.
There was no feature in the note that allowed you to know if they had read it or not.
‘I didn’t send it expecting a reply, but…’
She couldn’t help but be curious.
Just as she was about to check the alarm.
“So-hye, you need to be more dignified.”
“….”
Tang So-hye hurriedly closed the screen and straightened her posture at her sister’s remark.
But the phrase she had momentarily seen in the alarm window remained in her mind.
26th floor?
26th floor?
26th floor…
‘Anonymous?!Anonymous’s攻略 video had been uploaded.
Why now of all times?
Just when she was itching to see it.
Her older brother, the second son of the Sichuan Tang Family, interrupted the meeting.
The meeting was about the Martial Arts Alliance’s movements, relationships with other influential clans, and the handling of villages and Towers occupied by the Sichuan Tang Family.
Everything was important,
But everything was boring.
It couldn’t be helped.
In the future, the rights and interests in the game could determine the future of the Sichuan Tang Family clan.
It wasn’t fun, but it was necessary.
Because the Sichuan Tang Family was small in scale.
There were only 80 clan members.
A small number compared to mid-sized clans that typically had over 1000 members.
The Sichuan Tang Family, who specialized in poison, could face an army alone, so their small number didn’t mean they lacked power.
Poison was an asymmetric weapon given by nature.
They could force unilateral damage.
The Sichuan Tang Family had been researching poison since they were in China, and they were a specialized group in poison. The 80 members of the Sichuan Tang Family were by no means inferior to 8000.
But in the end, they were few in number, and due to the nature of poison arts, they were vulnerable in defensive battles.
A harmonious relationship with the surroundings was important, but there was no family head or young family head, and there were only a handful of people who had learned about diplomacy.
Her second older brother was one of them.
Her second older brother became the acting family head of the Sichuan Tang Family in Full Dive.
A meeting where all the blood relatives connected to the game gathered.
Tang So-hye hated this stuffy atmosphere.
Her second older brother was probably the same, but her acting like the family head was ridiculous and displeasing to her.
No, can’t they just act casually when there are no adults around? Why are they all so eager to act like adults?
It felt like she was seeing the future of the new generation Sichuan Tang Family, and she could only sigh inwardly.
So for now, she just,
Hoped it would end quickly.
When will it end?
She prayed for the meeting to end quickly.
Tang So-hye had virtually no right to speak anyway.
She didn’t understand why she was even here.
That’s when it happened.
“Everyone, watch this video.”
The acting family head connected a group video call through the group chat.
Full Dive was a game.
Even without a camera, video calls were possible in a third-person perspective, and the first-person view could also be shared.
The connected video call was in first-person.
The Hero Guild was visible.
There was a monument.
The ranking board was visible.
<26th Floor Solo Ranking Board>
[1st Place (Anonymous) – Giant Mist Spider (SSS)]
It was visible!
In addition,
The video moved to the ranking boards of other floors.
<27th Floor Solo Ranking Board>
[1st Place (Anonymous) – Ultra Iron Golem (SSS)]
<28th Floor Solo Ranking Board>
[1st Place (Anonymous) – Giant Water Slime (SSS)]
And,
<29th Floor Solo Ranking Board>
[1st Place (Anonymous) – Dream Frog (SSS)]
They had cleared up to the 29th floor in one climb.
They had cleared four floors in one climb.
And the bosses they had defeated.
Giant Mist Spider.
Ultra Iron Golem.
Giant Water Slime.
Dream Frog.
Good heavens.
“Good heavens.”
The acting family head also exclaimed.
“Let’s hold the meeting later and watch these first. Everyone knows that other clans are also paying close attention to Anonymous, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“That’s a valid point.”
Sucking up.
It’s not something to say out loud, but,
Most of the people from the Martial Arts Alliance who were addicted to games were those who had lost their potential.
Those who weren’t touched by the family,
In other words, those who weren’t expected to amount to anything,
Were the ones who played games.
It was already hard and busy enough to learn martial arts, so playing games on top of that?
It was absurd.
Tang So-hye could say for sure because she was also outside the family’s interest.
Her second older brother and sister had been persuaded by her to spread the true value of the game, but,
Except for a very few of those present, they were all dropouts from the Sichuan Tang Family. The way they were sucking up was like third-rate supporting actors.
It was very unpleasant.
Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.
<1st Place (Anonymous) – 26th Floor Giant Mist Spider (SSS)>
[This is a video registered as Anonymous.]
[Would you like to play the video? (-10 Gold)]
This is it.
26th floor.
Anonymous used a Magic Sword.
It spewed blue flames.
Burning the spiderwebs that were spread like mist.
Tracking and bombing the Giant Mist Spider.
Clear.
-
Was that thing that easy to catch?
-
We’re screwed if we meet it in the Dungeon.
-
Lighting a fire in a confined space
-
That’s not how you catch that;;
-
Yeah. It shouldn’t be…
-
But they caught it, right?
-
I met it in the Tower too. So that’s what it was made to catch. I didn’t know that.
-
No, why is a monster that you catch with a party at level 50 appearing at level 26ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
Their mmr must have accumulated because of the things they’ve caught so far.
-
How many times did they die?
-
That’s not related.
-
Everything after the 20th floor is either red or black;;
The Giant Mist Spider was a raid boss that would run away as soon as its location was revealed.
It was infuriating that the raid boss would run away, but it also set traps to trick the Heroes.
Since it would run away as if it were naked without its spiderwebs, the mist spiderwebs became the key to victory or defeat when encountered in the Tower.
Whether it was faster to clear all the mist spiderwebs,
Or to be surrounded and caught in the mist spiderwebs,
That was the contest.
But Anonymous ignored the existing strategy and eliminated the source of the problem.
That’s why the comments were all in disbelief.
Next.
27th floor.
Anonymous cut the steel cube and the game started.
The steel cube transformed into a Superconducting Steel Giant.
Anonymous trying to cut steel with steel.
The sword broke.
The Magic Sword also didn’t work.
Without giving up, they kept cutting the same spot and cut through the solid steel.
It took almost 3 hours to cut off one arm or leg.
The sword broke.
The Magic Sword ran out of Magical Power.
They repeated the same task for hours.
Did they gain enlightenment at the end?
They succeeded in completely neutralizing the Steel Giant by cutting off its neck with a single blow.
And then they fainted.
They didn’t clear it.
When they woke up and looked around, they found emeth on the back of its neck and felt empty.
-
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
ㅋㅋㅋ
-
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIs this even possible?
-
Is it real that they didn’t know that simple thing and were doing manual labor for hoursㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-
Applause to Anonymous’s perseverance and passion.
-
How did they even think of cutting the Iron Golem? Haha. Usually, they don’t do that. Haha. But they actually cut it. Haha.
The Ultra Iron Golem was a typical strategy-type monster.
Unlike its dignified appearance, the floor where the Golem appeared was commonly regarded as a bonus stage.
Golems were delicate machines that operated with magic, so if you knew how to stop them, even a level 1 could catch them.
The Ultra Iron Golem that appeared this time had the easiest strategy of them all.
emeth.
If you erase the e, it becomes meth.
Interpreting the words above in order, they meant truth and death.
So.
Erase the e.
Instant victory.
They say you’ll die if you don’t know, but no one thought they would fight the Golem because they didn’t know that.
But they actually.
‘Got rid of it.’
It was so absurd that all she could do was laugh.
Cutting steel with steel.
It’s easy to say.
It would be difficult even if you used Sword Aura.
If you covered a steel sword with Sword Aura, you could cut through steel armor.
This is true.
But you can’t cut it like you would in a cartoon.
To compare the relationship between a steel sword covered with Sword Aura and plain steel armor, it was about the same as the difference between a plain steel sword and plain wooden armor.
Yes, you could probably cut it.
If it was wooden armor.
But wood that was so thick that it couldn’t even fill half the circumference with both arms spread out.
Even if that thickness of wood was standing still, you would have to hit it hundreds or thousands of times to knock it down, and that massive object was even moving.
Could you win against an opponent using a log as a weapon even if you had a steel sword?
She imagined such a scenario, but,
‘Hoo…’
She scoffed.
How could you win?
It was like this just imagining it, so what would it be like in practice?
What’s more, Anonymous didn’t just defeat an opponent with a log.
It was like they cut off the opponent’s log piece by piece and held a knife to the opponent’s neck.
The comments were laughing it off, saying why did they clear it so difficultly, but there was a mix of reverence for Anonymous in the laughter.
