Chapter Index

    You could immediately read the atmosphere in the commentary between the commentators that followed.

    “Ignition! We are creating an unexpected long-term battle against Aigis!”

    “It’s a bitter cold of minus 40 degrees mixed with magic energy. Except for An Yu-min, the two players seem to be quite tired. It’s only natural that 40 minutes have passed since the game started.”

    “Kim Young-geun’s commentary is a current hunter, so he must know it well! In a situation like that, would the players feel a lot of pressure?

    “Of course it is. Such a long-term battle… If you are exposed to long-term magical energy and your elemental resistance decreases, you can suffer fatal injuries even from normal attacks. In particular, Song Xia is in a very dangerous condition right now…”

    The Asian female villain who heard the commentary.

    Ruby Poison whispered in a cold voice.

    “Hmm. If Song Yu-hwan’s daughter retires first, it would be very humiliating for the apostle of Valhalla.”

    The executives all smiled bitterly at her words.

    Song Yu-hwan and the apostles of Valhalla are people whose teeth are shaking.

    An unsurprising reaction.

    However, another villain, Ghoul Hound, answered with a serious expression.

    “Still, that party called Aegis is not easy. You must not let down your guard.”

    “Oh my. For some reason, Mr. Ghoul Hound is worried about everyone else. Are you quite close with Unknown?”

    The Ghoul Hound was silent at those words.

    In fact, most of the people gathered here did not know much about Unknown.

    So, when I found out that the cadet playing in a party called Ignition was Unknown.

    Everyone reacted with disbelief.

    In fact, compared to the rumors, the villain who has never been shown in reality is unknown.

    Orifiel thought to himself.

    ‘I don’t know about other villains. Crimson’s villains are definitely not low-level villains who can be swayed by nonsense.’

    Ruby Poison is the brainiac of Crimson Teeth.

    The woman in front of me had once coldly evaluated Unknown.

    Orifiel glanced at her face.

    ‘Of course, I told you before that even if you set it high, it’s only as good as a ghoul hound.’

    It wasn’t surprising that such an evaluation came out.

    Although killing Horror Hall is quite an achievement.

    Even within Crimson Teeth, Horror Hall was not rated very highly.

    This guy was a chaos addict to the point of extreme.

    However, the comparison with Ghoul Hound is by no means a derogatory assessment.

    Ghoul Hound is also a high-level villain in Crimson Teeth.

    Especially since he is the leader of an extremist group called the Vanguard. He was a villain who had built up quite a reputation for his young age.

    In comparison, Unknown has not yet done any official work in the underworld other than killing Horror Hall.

    On the contrary, it may have been that he evaluated Unknown quite highly.

    ‘Accurate evaluation will begin now.’

    At that time, Ghoul Hound answered Ruby Poison’s words.

    “That’s… Unknown himself said that Aegis is an opponent you shouldn’t let down your guard about. That’s what I say too.”

    “Oh my. How can it be that the crazy dog of the vanguard speaks like that? This is the first time I’ve seen you be so condescending about someone’s words.”

    “That’s right. Anyone can see that Unknown is the boss of that mad dog. Hehehe.”

    “It’s unexpected. Crimson’s mad dog seems shaken by its name.”

    Everyone seemed to agree with Ruby Poison’s words.

    Ghoul Hounds are people who are driven only by their beliefs.

    That belief is also very radical.

    A person who defines right and wrong only through violence and fighting. It is not called a mad dog for nothing.

    That ghoul hound was acting like a gentle puppy when Unknown’s name was mentioned.

    ‘So it’s not surprising.’

    However, Orifiel also agreed with the Ghoul Hound’s feelings.

    Unknown is by no means an ordinary person.

    No, he is so extraordinary that the end is unknown.

    The eyes of the great evil Amon.

    I very easily obtained the special item that every villain here desperately wants.

    ‘The villains who died at the hands of the Inquisitors in order to obtain that item alone would be in the three-digit number historically.’

    Nevertheless, Unknown was not proud of having obtained the Eye of Amon.

    In fact, he even handed over the item to maintain a friendly relationship with himself.

    Although he looked like a young cadet, in fact, his inner depth was endless.

    In the end, the villains gathered here will also learn the true nature of the unknown.

    Orifiel deliberately did not express his evaluation of Unknown.

    Villains are usually like that. These are people who can never acknowledge others unless they experience it themselves.

    Ruby Poison put her thin white finger to her chin.

    And looking at the ignition on the screen that suddenly started moving.

    He said it was interesting.

    “Still, one thing is certain. If that Unknown had been our enemy, it would have been a huge headache.”

    At those words, all executives paid attention to Ruby Poison. She continued.

    “It is a competitive match that is no different from a real game. And the current tactics are so close that if there is a mistake in the tactical instructions even once, all party members will be wiped out. Now, I’ve drained a lot of the opponent’s stamina. If I had been caught behind even once when I still had the stamina left, I wouldn’t have been able to do the same thing I am now.”

    “That’s just because the opponent is also a rookie at the academy…”

    Orifiel responded to another executive’s words.

    “No. it is not so. Even if Song Yu-hwan’s daughter is in that party, I have to admit it. With the skills and chemistry of those three, Aigis is a party that even we here cannot ignore.”

    The other executives fell silent at Orifiel’s words.

    As he is currently the boss of Crimson Teeth. He is the one who never talks nonsense. The weight was clear.

    Ruby Poison took a quick look at Orifiel’s eyes and continued.

    “However, what we have done so far is only to reduce the disadvantage of about 7:3 to about 5:5. If Unknown really wants to prove his specialness… he won’t be able to stop at hunting down his prey.”

    “Do I have to succeed in hunting down that Aegis?”

    “Yes. However, the sword attack of the main dealer named An Yu-min… based on its sheer power, it is truly at the level of a horror hall or higher. I wonder if Unknown will be able to fight back against such an awakened person…”

    As she said.

    The firepower that Unknown showed in that first battle was not that strong.

    At the same time, all executives’ eyes turned back to the screen.

    In that scene on screen.

    Unknown’s Ignition was finally launching a counterattack.

    ***

    Hwiii profit-

    A snowstorm was constantly hitting the city.

    An hour has passed since the game started.

    Aigis was tracking Ignition for 40 minutes.

    However, that position became completely opposite 20 minutes ago.

    “Damage! A fire spell flies!”

    “Huh? Where?”

    “Get out of the way! It’s dangerous!”

    An Yu-min rolled around on the floor while hugging Song Si-ah in front of him.

    Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak-

    And a fireball exploded in the spot where Song Xia was moments ago, sending up a pillar of fire.

    “Hee, hee! If you get hit by something like that, you’ll die! Ah… No, but… Fire might be good because it’s warm… It’s cold…”

    “Don’t talk nonsense! Hey yeeun! Come to your senses… quickly run after me!”

    For a moment, my blood pressure almost rose because of Ha Ye-eun’s empty-brained nonsense.

    Nevertheless, An Yu-min remained calm.

    ‘shit. If she had been hit directly by a fire spell a little while ago, Song Xia would have definitely retired.’

    An Yu-min held the Hunter Sword tightly in his hand.

    At the same time, her freezing power was rapidly injected into the Hunter Sword.

    Weee-

    Then, bright blue ice began to form along the blade of the Hunter Sword.

    “Hurry in front of me!”

    At the same time, An Yu-min, who saw that the group was running, exploded a large amount of ice-based mana on the blade.

    Kwajijijijijik-

    The exploded mana created a blizzard in the area.

    As if an eye flashbang had been set off.

    The entire area was covered in whiteout, and visibility was obscured.

    An Yu-min hurriedly followed the group and ran away from the scene.

    I sent two people first.

    In less than 10 seconds, I caught up with them both.

    “Gasp…Gasp…”

    Song Xia continued to breathe heavily.

    Looking at Ha Ye-eun’s body glowing light green, it was clear that she was receiving a buff from a divine spell.

    The light was weaker than an hour ago.

    ‘As expected… these two people’s physical strength is at its limit.’

    An Yu-min bit his lip.

    The morale of all three was very high.

    That map too. It was a battlefield filled with snowstorms, which was extremely advantageous to An Yu-min.

    However, the game turned out completely differently from what Jeong Woon-kyung and Ahn Yu-min expected.

    First full-scale battle.

    At that time, one member of the opposing team should have been retired.

    However, Ignition’s staying power was better than expected.

    A sure-to-win combination that did not give up a single match until the semifinals.

    Ignition withstood the firepower combination of An Yu-min and Song Sia and escaped safely.

    ‘The chase after that…’

    And Lim Jae-ho, a sub-race with a sense of wildness. Jeong Si-woo of the thief class is better at escaping than anyone else.

    There’s even Lee Jun-woo’s head there.

    Ignition completely succeeded in escaping for 40 minutes.

    Compared to that, the three people did not become great hunters even though they had good words.

    In the first place, except for the sacred power shuttle, Ha Ye-eun was almost a burden.

    In the current map, which is an overly extreme situation.

    Song Xia’s stamina fell faster than expected.

    But I wasn’t angry at my friend.

    She is the head of Aigis’ party.

    Clearly, it was a battlefield that was advantageous to him.

    You must achieve victory in the first battle.

    Even in the subsequent chase.

    Save more stamina, and you never know when your party might become prey. We should have assumed the worst.

    ‘It’s all… my fault.’

    He had to admit he was overly excited.

    If she were normal, she would have been colder.

    This semifinal match had a promise with Lee Jun-woo.

    The promise to go to a Japanese theme park with Lee Jun-woo.

    That promise is the only thing now, now that even my mother has become a person of interest. It was the only light and hope for An Yu-min.

    My relationship with Lee Jun-woo was already headed for disaster.

    It’s only through that trip that I might be able to recover again.

    ‘no. I can’t give up yet… I will definitely be with Junwoo…’

    If that hope is ruined like this.

    If I could go back to the time when my relationship with Lee Jun-woo ended.

    An Yu-min did not have the slightest confidence to continue walking the path of a hero.

    Still, Lee Jun-woo was Ahn Yu-min’s whole world.

    She held the Hunter Sword tightly.

    ‘We must… we must win this semifinal.’
