Chapter 52: Demon Lord

In the end.

Blood Hand, ending his regretful life.

At that moment.

Consecutive level ups.

Blood Hand’s level was 7.

The same as Seyul, but the number of martial arts they had mastered was different.

Seyul defeated Blood Hand, who had mastered hundreds of martial arts, while she was judged to have mastered only one.

The experience points gained, which varied depending on the level of martial arts of the defeated enemy, poured in tremendously.

Finally, Seyul reached level 9!

Reaching level 9 in an online game, not a single-player game, is extremely difficult.

It doesn’t exist in Murim Online, and even if you search through all virtual reality online games, there are very few.

But Seyul, who started today, less than a day ago, joined those few.

It was an achievement created by Seyul’s skill and Murim Online’s unique level system.

It was something to be happy about, but,

[Impressive, but]

[So petty]

[Did you have to defeat him like that?]

The method was too cowardly to be simply happy.

[That’s too much lol]

[Blood Hand was quite a charismatic mid-boss!]

[You could have at least fought him]

[Judging by what you’re saying, it’s not like you couldn’t win]

[Evil btch. Evil btch]

[She was quiet for a while, but she’s back to being evil]

Most viewers made playful criticisms, but,

[Isn’t this a bit dangerous?]

[Seyul noona has never used this method before]

[She always just played with her enemies]

[But today, she even plotted this scheme]

[This Blood Hand guy. He died comically, but he seems incredibly strong?]

[But this guy is the vice-leader]

[The stronger leader is still left]

A very small number felt uneasy about Seyul doing something she wouldn’t normally do.

“Is that her?”

“Yes, that person helped us.”

Meanwhile.

As the situation settled, the righteous faction NPCs paid attention to Seyul.

“That person eradicated all the Demonic Cult members who were fighting us.”

“She also told us the secret plan to fight the vice-leader.”

“She even endured the humiliation of disguising herself as a Demonic Cult member for a more certain outcome.”

The righteous faction NPCs praised Seyul with extreme honorifics.

At the moment when they thought they would all die fighting to the death.

A fairy-like beautiful being saved their lives, so it was a natural reaction.

They even praised Seyul as a hero.

Seyul had only easily defeated Blood Hand and asked them for help.

Disguising herself as a Demonic Cult member to ambush Blood Hand wasn’t particularly humiliating either.

“Ahem, thank you. Judging by your appearance, you seem to be a Celestial Being, what is your name?”

Jang Tae-hwan, who recognized her as a user, spoke.

He cautiously asked her identity, but no answer came back.

She simply coldly took off the Demonic Cult member’s clothes.

Revealing the original clothes she was wearing underneath.

Returning to her basic outfit.

“I advise you. If you don’t want to die, it’s best to run away as far as possible. This Nakyang will soon be destroyed.”

She gave the righteous faction NPCs advice they couldn’t understand and disappeared in an instant.

Towards the place where the Demonic Cult Leader, her target, was.

The Righteous-Demonic War.

This event was the most anticipated event for users.

It was the grand finale before Season 2, so it would be strange not to look forward to it.

Many users looked forward to the Righteous-Demonic War, and therefore, there were many participants.

A total of 130,000!

130,000 users participated simultaneously.

More than 100,000 people gathered in a relatively wide-open space, the location of the Demonic Cult Leader’s appearance.

Even though it was an open space, it was completely covered with people, so the original scenery was not visible.

“Hey, isn’t this just free loot?”

“Even the Demonic Cult Leader’s grandfather would die with this many people~.”

“Will this even be a proper event?”

The users chuckled, looking at their numbers.

Originally, it should have been a desperate scenario where they risked their lives to stop the Demonic Cult Leader.

But with this many allies, they didn’t feel any desperation at all.

“There’s no match for a gang beating.”

“The Demonic Cult Leader is pitiful.”

“That annoying guy is going to heaven today.”

Most users thought this way.

No matter how strong the Demonic Cult Leader was, he couldn’t handle this number.

They would easily defeat him and finish the event.

However.

A little later, everyone realized they were wrong.

The Demonic Cult Leader who appeared reached out his hand towards them.

Something flashed, and the next moment, 30,000 out of 130,000 were annihilated.

A large-scale bombing.

Or would it be like this if a nuke went off?

The right side of the user army was charred black.

Tens of thousands of users who were there instantly burned and died one after another from burns and other injuries.

After logging out, all that remained was a wide area of Nakyang.

“….”

“….”

The remaining 100,000 froze.

They couldn’t even dream of joking like they did a moment ago and just remained silent.

Not all users here are skilled.

Most are just low-level, poorly equipped, and have few skills.

But still, it’s 30,000.

They couldn’t imagine that 30,000 could be burned to death by a single strike.

What could even Murim Online users say at the power they were seeing for the first time?

“Operator, you son of a b*tch….”

After some time, someone barely managed to say something, and it was a curse at the operator.

Did they really think they could catch such a monster and put it in the event?

It was absolutely impossible.

Annihilating 30,000 in one strike meant that a few more strikes would wipe out 100,000 in an instant.

There were still 100,000 left, but the remaining users couldn’t even think of fighting and lost their will to fight.

“Kahaha, hahaha!!”

Then, as if mocking the users who couldn’t move, laughter burst out.

The owner of the voice was the Demonic Cult Leader himself, who had demonstrated transcendent power.

Blood-red hair and black martial robes.

A figure like a demon from hell.

This was the Demonic Cult Leader.

The true form of Red Moon.

Red Moon.

Originally, the descendant of a prestigious family.

Born killing his mother at birth.

Killed his father, who was one of the top 10 experts at the time, around the age of 10.

Massacred countless martial arts experts in his early to mid-teens.

Scouted by the Demonic Cult for his achievements.

Eventually killed even the previous Demonic Cult Leader and became the Demonic Cult Leader, a monster mad with blood!

…was the owner of such a setting.

Even if he was a game villain, the setting was too much.

It was once a laughing stock for users, but they couldn’t laugh now.

Having witnessed Red Moon’s true power.

They thought it was a monstrous setting befitting a monster.

“Celestial beings. Even you who don’t know death seem to fear me.”

Red Moon smirked, looking at the frozen users.

“Well, in the end, you’re just trash except for the fact that you don’t die. Haha, you trash!”

Red Moon laughed to his heart’s content, feeling good about the disgrace of the users who had hindered him.

“Are you afraid of me? Do you regret opposing me now? But it’s already too late. Today, I will thoroughly educate you vermin. Even if you come back to life, you won’t even think of opposing me again.”

Red Moon said coldly and reached out his hand again towards the users.

To show them the true fear for those who couldn’t resist.

It was then.

A small figure appeared, crossing between Red Moon and the users.

“NPC?”

The users thought the opponent was a type of NPC like a fairy or goddess.

Long, flowing, shining silver hair, delicate features, even sacred beauty.

She looked like a living work of art, so they couldn’t see her as the same user.

“Isn’t that Seyul?”

“That’s right, it’s her.”

“She’s a really popular streamer these days!”

There were a few users who recognized her.

Among them, there were those who knew her a little too well.

“Why are you here?!”

“What about the Warrior of God?”

“Did you turn on Murim today?”

“I couldn’t watch the live broadcast today because of the event, what are you doing?”

There were also viewers who were Murim users and skipped today because of the event.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Seyul’s sudden appearance.

Seyul slowly approached Red Moon.

With a disdainful smile on her lips.

Red Moon’s reaction to her was strange.

It doesn’t matter if the opponent is a beautiful girl with goddess-like beauty or whatever.

Users know that Red Moon brutally kills anyone who blocks his path.

But this time, he didn’t do anything and just watched Seyul approach.

With eyes that had fallen into a tension that an absolute powerhouse could not have.

“…Kuk.”

After looking at Seyul for a while, Red Moon started laughing again.

“Haha, kahaha!”

He looked up at the sky for a while, laughing at what was funny.

“It’s absurd.”

He spat out in a weak voice.

“Now, now Murim is about to be in my hands. I could have held the world in this hand! Heaven, were you so afraid of me! To make such a person appear without any warning or rumor? Why does such an existence block my path at this moment?”

Red Moon was filled with absurdity and resentment.

And faint fear, etc.

He poured out words filled with various emotions, but,

“Stop whining.”

Seyul stopped him midway.

“Aren’t you a Murim person? You’re a Murim expert. There’s another strong person in front of you. Then there’s only one thing to do. What are you hesitating for?”

Seyul fluently provoked him.

Then Red Moon shut his mouth tightly.

With a serious look, he reached out his hand towards Seyul.

He unleashed the attack that had annihilated 30,000 people a moment ago towards Seyul alone.
