Chapter 74: It’s a Trap

“This works for two people too?”

“Yeah. If you have two devices, you can connect and play.”

Kamael pointed to the second device that Vanessa had left behind.

“Can I use this to connect? Please? I promise I won’t be a hindrance.”

“I know you won’t be a hindrance.”

It wasn’t just that she wouldn’t be a hindrance; it was like adding a nuclear bomb to the team.

Kamael’s skills were on par with Seyul’s, and Seyul alone could dominate the game world.

“Why would you want to do something like this?”

Seyul had started because he thought of this other world.

Now he had things to do in the game, so he was going to continue.

He was surprised that Kamael wanted to join him.

But Kamael looked at Seyul as if he were the strange one.

“It’s common for couples to play games together, isn’t it?”

“Is it?”

“In virtual games, you can do all sorts of things you can’t do in reality. Even if they’re not interested in the game itself, many people buy it as a dating spot.”

It was the first time he had heard that, but it made sense when he thought about it.

Virtual reality was almost the same as reality.

But it didn’t cost time or money to go anywhere.

Going to a decent place once took a lot of time.

It was much more economical than reality, which cost money.

Even if that wasn’t the case, everyone else was doing it, so couples couldn’t help but be interested.

Kamael, who had reunited with Seyul, also wanted to play with him like other couples did.

“Well, if you want to, I don’t mind.”

Since the topic came up, he had a question.

Seyul held the device in his hand and showed it, saying.

“What is this?”

“A game console.”

“I’m not asking for the name, I’m asking what you were thinking when you spread something like this.”

Zecross’s virtual reality.

This alone was an amazing technology, but it was being used for games.

Seyul was quite curious about what Zecross’s intentions were in doing this.

Kamael didn’t seem to think it was a big secret, so she opened her mouth casually.

“Actually, this was originally a training simulation.”

“For training?”

“Yeah. When we do this, we encounter a wide variety of situations. For example, if we’re active in the Murim world, we might get into a fight with the top 10 masters of Murim. If we fail, we don’t want to fail the mission, so we simulate similar situations in advance and figure out what to do.”

They put information about the world they were going to in the virtual reality in advance.

They were experiencing what they were going to do in advance.

Since it was virtual reality, it wasn’t 100% perfect, but it was quite helpful.

“Even when facing the same enemy, it’s easier to fight if you’ve fought them in a simulation beforehand.”

“Ah, so this game was distributed to train people in our world.”

Through the game, ordinary people could develop the ability to prepare for various situations.

Some people with special talents could develop their talents while playing the game.

Seyul thought that was why they spread the game, but.

“No? How efficient would it be to train ordinary people? Why would we do something like that?”

“…Then why did you spread it?”

“Just because we needed money. Whatever we do, we need money, and protecting the multiverse obviously costs a lot of money. But it turned out that this virtual reality we developed was a pretty lucrative technology. The game is being serviced in many worlds besides here. For our sweet operating funds.”

I see.

Seyul nodded slightly.

It was a materialistic reason, but he couldn’t say anything since money was important.

Thanks to that, Seyul himself was able to enjoy the game.

“Oh, I was watching your broadcast.”

Just as they were about to start the game, Kamael spoke to him.

Her eyes sparkled as she brought up the broadcast.

“Actually, I’ve been watching your broadcast ever since I came here.”

“Is that so?”

“I didn’t sponsor or chat because I was afraid of getting caught, but you don’t look at the chat anyway.”

“…Yeah, I don’t usually look at it.”

“At first, I was surprised that you were doing something like this, but you’re doing a good job. Except for the fact that there’s a lot of exposure. Even if it’s censored, why do you have so many service scenes?”

“I’m a Melusine. It’s natural for my race to have a lot of exposure, so you’ll have to bear with it.”

Kamael was expressing her dissatisfaction as his girlfriend, but Seyul didn’t intend to listen.

Even if he knew the broadcast was on, what could he do since that was his race?

“Are you going to turn on the broadcast today?”

Kamael continued with another concern.

“I think you should turn it off today.”

“Why?”

“You’re going to be with me today. Your viewers might not like it if they know you have a girlfriend.”

“Then don’t make it obvious. I don’t really care what happens.”

He had no intention of turning it off, but he had no intention of pretending either.

When he conveyed his will, Kamael nodded sullenly.

“Okay.”

“I’m going to start now, so put the device on your head.”

“Just because you connect doesn’t mean I’ll go in right away. You have to log in and then operate it from there to let me in.”

Kamael warned him just in case.

But Seyul was a tech idiot who didn’t know anything about this.

‘How do I operate it?’

When Seyul, who had entered the game, tried to operate it, he didn’t know how to do anything.

“It worked fine with Vanessa, why is it like this now! Is, is this how you do it?”

Seyul was waving his hands in the air, trying to get Kamael in somehow.

Unintentionally, he was creating some kind of bizarre dance movement.

[What is the host doing now?]

[He’s repeating suspicious movements]

[Is it some kind of ritual?]

Others were confused because it looked like a strange act to them.

[I thought he was talking to me for the first time yesterday, is it my time to die?]

[He’s doing things he’s never done before]

[More importantly, didn’t that person come yesterday?]

[She was really sexy!]

[Your chest is big enough, so bring a bigger chest sometimes]

[It’s no use saying this]

[He said he was going to close the chat window last time]

[Ah, that’s right]

The viewers were chatting amicably while watching Seyul act strangely.

Seyul didn’t know, but they were quite noisy about what happened yesterday.

It was practically the first time Seyul had spoken to them properly.

It became a commotion that went up on the real-time internet search rankings.

“What is that guy doing?”

“Who knows?”

Meanwhile.

The demon army following Seyul was also looking at him with strange eyes.

They were finally breaking through the fortress and advancing, but they didn’t know what he was doing.

“Hey. Stop doing strange things and let’s go on our way.”

Rimburn, who couldn’t stand it, clicked his tongue and urged them to go on their way when.

An abnormal situation suddenly occurred in the path where the demon army was about to advance.

The ground shook mercilessly and began to rise into the air.

<This is!>

The God of Light was horrified.

As a god, she knew what this phenomenon was.

It was none other than the ability of her colleague.

<New Demon King Seyul, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!>

The risen land created a huge stage, and one person was standing on that stage.

An existence whose whole body was shining brown.

It was the God of Earth, one of the five gods.

<Earth!>

The God of Light turned her gaze, filled with intense emotion, towards her colleague.

<Did you finally side with the Wind and Water?>

<Then would you have me side with you, who has joined hands with demons?>

The God of Earth sneered at the God of Light, who was questioning her.

<As a god, I cannot tolerate demons entering the human realm. I will stop you with all my might, so don’t let a traitor like you speak to me>

<Tra, traitor? Me?>

The God of Light was dumbfounded, but it was true.

The actions of the God of Light were betrayal itself to the other gods.

“Hmph, you talk a good game!”

Rimburn stepped forward instead when the God of Light was speechless.

As the former Demon King, he spoke to the God of Earth and scoffed.

“You have a loud voice, but don’t you understand your situation? No matter how much of a god you are, it’s suicide to step forward in front of this great army.”

<You don’t seem to understand. Is your brain smaller than your size?>

“What!”

<I clearly said this. Seyul, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!>

The God of Earth looked at Seyul and said it again.

<Surely a Demon King wouldn’t cowardly refuse….>

“Uh, huh? A duel? Ah, okay.”

The God of Earth was trying to provoke Seyul, but there was no need.

Because Seyul agreed in a very lackluster voice.

“Sorry, I was distracted and didn’t hear you well. Anyway, if you want to duel, let’s do it.”

Seyul, who was busy messing with the system, readily agreed.

<You, you!>

It was clearly what he intended, but it seemed like he was losing out.

The God of Earth was furious, and Seyul’s party also stopped Seyul with uneasy eyes.

“Are you really okay?”

Anera, the Water Lord, worried as she clung to Seyul.

They could attack together, but why would he have a one-on-one duel?

Accepting such a proposal was foolish.

“It’s okay.”

But Seyul was adamant.

He wasn’t the kind of person who would back down after hearing such words.

Seyul went up on the stage made of earth to fight him as the God of Earth wanted.

At that moment.

<Hehehe!>

<What a foolish person!>

Familiar voices were heard.

The stage created by the God of Earth was engulfed in water and wind.

It formed a double and triple barrier as if to prevent anyone from interfering.

While the allies were horrified by the sudden event.

Two gods newly appeared on either side of the God of Earth on the stage.

Needless to say, they were the God of Water and the God of Wind.

<A one-on-one duel? Did you really believe that?>

The God of Wind laughed at Seyul, who was facing him.

<Everything was a trap! A trap to lure you here and have the three of us deal with you!>

If Seyul was with the demons, even the gods couldn’t deal with him.

So, they lured him to the stage under the pretext of a duel to separate him from the demons.

They separated him from the demons with a multi-layered barrier created by the power of the gods.

<Hey, that’s too cowardly….>

The God of Light was stunned by what her colleagues had done.

<I don’t care if it’s cowardly or not! The important thing is to win. If we just deal with this human, the other demons are no problem>

The God of Wind said confidently.

That was true.

“That damn bastard!”

“Cowardly!”

Rimburn and the lords were noticeably flustered.

Currently, this army was established by the new Demon King, Seyul.

But if Seyul suddenly died, morale would plummet.

In the worst case, the army might collapse.

“Wait, I’ll save you right now!”

The demons tried to get Seyul out of the barrier, but it was impossible.

The barrier formed by the power of the gods was not something that could be easily broken.

Even if they concentrated enough firepower to break it, Seyul inside would be in danger.

Checkmate.

It was like the king was captured.

<Hehehe, no matter how strong you are, you can’t fight the three of us at the same time!>

The God of Wind was enjoying the joy of victory as he looked at Seyul.

<If you want to blame someone, blame yourself>

“….”

“….”

<…Are you listening to me?>

The God of Wind was flustered by Seyul, who wasn’t listening.

Even while trapped, Seyul ignored his opponent and kept doing something.

<Invited a friend!>

He finally succeeded in summoning Kamael.

Right next to him inside the barrier.
