Chapter 74: Streamer Server Wrap-Up (1)

KWA-GA-GA-GANG!

The moment Zeronix snapped his fingers, the sky over the city of Belheim was literally torn apart.

Not a metaphor.

A massive rift split the once-blue sky, revealing a blood-red void that gaped open like a monstrous maw.

A torrent of ominous energy surged from beyond the crack.

[A massive invasion by beings from another realm has begun!]

[Objective: Defend the outer walls of Belheim and eliminate as many enemies as possible!]

With a blaring system alert,

Horrors began to pour out of the sky like a waterfall.

Demons with dark crimson skin.

Undead with clinging flesh and exposed bone.

Pulsing blobs of chaos made from sticky, amorphous matter.

In moments, they blanketed the sky,

Descending like a black tidal wave toward the city walls.

The streamers who had just been lost in the afterglow of Seo-yeon’s song—

Stared, stunned.

But then:

“Alright~ let’s gooo!”

“Wait, there’s way too many of them…”

“More is better. We gotta rack up kills!”

“Good thing I upgraded my greatsword in advance.”

They quickly snapped out of it and prepared for battle.

“There had to be something at the end, right?!”

Each one drew their preferred weapon and rushed to the walls.

Ready to mow down waves of monsters.

But—

“KYEEEKK!”

“Uh… wait. Why are they so tanky?”

“Holy sh*t, the damage feels off?!”

“I need healing!”

“Zeronix you madman!”

[“What are these stats lmao”]

[“This isn’t an event, it’s an apocalypse lol”]

[“I thought we were supposed to just farm mobs”]

[“Forget kill rewards, survival first lmao”]

The first wave of eager streamers got obliterated.

Those who caught on set up defenses along the walls.

It wasn’t just about numbers.

Each monster falling from the sky had specs rivaling elite field bosses.

“Uhh—!”

“We’re getting pushed back! Hold the wall!”

Clan members grouped up to hold the line,

But the streamers were the ones being overwhelmed.

If they lost the walls, defense would be near impossible.

Just as the tide began to turn—

“…Shall we?”

A calm voice amidst the chaos.

Seo-yeon.

Shh-shhk—!

From thin air, she summoned her massive greatsword.

A crimson, writhing blade that looked alive.

Kraken’s Greatsword.

Its ominous glow shimmered with pressure.

And then—

Seo-yeon charged into the battlefield.

[“Wait what?”]

[“Didn’t others get killed doing that?”]

[“Isn’t that suicide?”]

Everyone—streamers and viewers alike—was caught off guard by her sudden dive into enemy lines.

PUHOK! PUHOK!

The monsters—once seemingly invincible—started dying instantly.

She wasn’t just overpowering them.

She dodged and parried their attacks with near-divine precision.

Then exploited a 0.1-second opening to strike at their weak points.

Greatswords are hard to use.

No shields.

No ranged advantage.

Only offense and defense via pure swordsmanship.

And with a weapon that heavy, you need to control the center of gravity.

Most would swing it wildly.

But Seo-yeon,

With her small frame, wielded the savage weapon

Like it weighed nothing at all.

Perfect balance.

SLAASH! KWAJIK!

With every swing, red arcs trailed in the air.

Enemies that had others struggling,

Exploded like tofu, scattering to bone dust.

Monsters that took teams to kill—

She smashed to bits with a few strikes.

The weapon was powerful,

But it was Seo-yeon’s precision that destroyed them.

And then—

“There. And there.”

As soon as she gave the command,

The mana turrets stationed atop the wall all fired upward in unison.

KWA-KWANG! PUH-OONG!

Every shot struck the optimal coordinates.

Clustered enemies evaporated under pinpoint bombardment.

[“Damn.”]

[“That was satisfying.”]

[“She hit the perfect spots.”]

[“How is she doing that while fighting?!”]

She was slicing enemies in front of her

While scanning the whole battlefield in real time.

She tracked elite mob positions,

Identified the weakest defense sectors,

And directed turret fire at perfect moments.

Slicing forward with Kraken’s Greatsword,

While nuking flanks and rear with turret bombardments.

Seo-yeon, by herself,

Was tilting the battle back toward balance.

“That’s Seo-yeon, right?”

“She’s nuts… is she even human?”

“I’m scared now.”

“That has to be AI-controlled.”

“Holy sh*t… it’s like she’s using hacks.”

“She’s micromanaging turrets while slicing mobs?!”

Some streamers just stood frozen, watching.

Even Zeronix looked stunned.

‘Wait. That… that’s not how it was meant to be used.’

Seo-yeon had been given turret control as a reward from the Foundation of the Final Battle event.

Originally,

That player was supposed to stay safe in the rear or hover in the air, overseeing the field and offering support.

A command role.

But Seo-yeon—

Was soloing the frontline and commanding like a machine.

Not haphazard firing,

But terrifying precision.

It looked like the turrets were automated.

‘Incredible.’

Zeronix chuckled in disbelief.

A play that far exceeded expectations.

Thrilling, yet spine-chilling.

Once again, Seo-yeon was breaking the game.

But it was exhilarating.

This was the unpredictable star player he longed to see.

“Phew.”

“We can hold!”

“Raidel! Build a wall over there!”

“We’re actually doing fine now.”

Thanks to Seo-yeon,

The final event’s brutal difficulty suddenly felt manageable.

Other streamers followed in her wake,

Clearing mobs far more easily.

Then it happened.

The blood-red rift above began to twist violently.

[Warning! Titanic Entity Approaching! ‘Lord of Apocalypse’ Descending!]

From the abyss,

A hulking beast emerged, dwarfing all previous monsters.

A shadow blanketed Belheim.

The Lord of Apocalypse.

A hulking, hairy, muscle-bound nightmare.

With gleaming red eyes and drooling fangs,

It radiated menace.

The true final boss had arrived.

KRAAAAAAAAAAAH—!!!

Its roar split the air.

[“It’s the boss!”]

[“That’s definitely the finale.”]

[“Can we nuke it with turrets?”]

Everyone gripped their weapons.

Except Seo-yeon.

She stopped swinging and calmly scanned the field.

Some mobs still approached,

But the streamers could handle it.

No risk to the wall for now.

‘…No need to waste turret fire here.’

She waved her hand.

A hologram popped up.

[Redirecting All Mana Turret Targeting System.]

[Primary Target: Lord of Apocalypse]

[Mana Fully Charged. Preparing Synchronized Barrage.]

KWA-A-A-AANG!

Without hesitation,

Every turret focused on a single point:

The Lord of Apocalypse, who had just appeared.

Blue bombardment rained down like a hurricane.

PUHOK! PUHOK!

Caught off guard by the initial salvo,

The boss staggered.

Cracks spread across its armored hide,

Blood gushed from the wounds.

Groggy status: achieved!

Now.

Seo-yeon launched herself like a silver bullet.

She vaulted off the ground, rocketing toward its chest.

Kraken’s Greatsword flared crimson.

SLAASH! KWAJEEJIK! PUHOK!

She didn’t look anywhere else.

Only the exposed, bleeding weak point revealed by the turrets.

Relentless, precise strikes.

Once, twice, three times…

Like clockwork.

[Critical Hit!]

[Devastating Blow!]

With every slash, the boss’s HP bar plummeted.

The Lord of Apocalypse flailed,

But missed everything.

KYEEEK— KRUUUGH—!

Less than minutes after appearing,

KUUUUNG!

The boss collapsed, unable to even scream.

[“LMAOOOO”]

[“Did the boss just get nuked?!”]

[“She literally vaporized it omg lol”]

[“Turrets first, then sword—it’s over lol”]

Seo-yeon landed lightly,

Shook the blood off her blade,

And looked up to see a dazzling system message.

[[Final Assault: Descent of the Apocalypse] Event Cleared!]

[Thanks to the bravery and cooperation of all streamers, the city of Belheim has been safely defended!]

[Special contribution-based rewards will be distributed shortly to all participating streamers.]

Quest: complete.

A victory so overwhelming,

It felt almost anticlimactic.
