    Roadcobalt

    The beginning was night.

    Pitch black night.

    Anonymous was walking in the mountains.

    For what purpose Anonymous was climbing the mountain in the middle of the night, she was ascending the dark mountain.

    • Climbing a mountain at night?

    • Got guts.

    • She even caught an Ogre, what’s there to be afraid of?

    Anonymous was a black shadow covered in silhouette, but for distinction, a white line was drawn around the edge.

    • But why did she come to the mountain?

    • I don’t know.

    • Did she get a Quest?

    • What Quest?

    • More than that, does anyone know where that mountain is?

    Anonymous’s location.

    After that question, comments wanting to know about Anonymous began to dominate the comment section.

    Anonymous is currently a widely spread figure of interest.

    Even the residents of the celestial realm, where those noble talents gather, were interested, and the status Anonymous held was different from the first impression.

    • Isn’t that north of Gospel?

    • How do you know that?

    • The world is all dark.

    • Just a guess. Think about it. Looking at Anonymous’s capture speed, she’s a newbie who just started. She might not have escaped Gospel yet. There’s only one Mountain King near Gospel, the Lord Kobold.

    That guess led to the mountain north of Gospel.

    A rebuttal was posted to that guess, and negative comments were uploaded.

    Of course, it was temporary, and it became quiet when a rebuttal pointed out that it seemed like they were trying to scout Anonymous and were disparaging her.

    • Anonymous must be amazing.

    • She’s strong.

    • It doesn’t make sense that a level 26, who’s still a noob, is catching two Mountain Kings.

    • The Mountain King’s level was probably around level 45?

    • Ah, skipping 20 levels.

    Level 20.

    The monster’s information window appears in dark red.

    A difference of 5 levels is yellow.

    A difference of 10 levels is orange.

    A difference of 15 levels is red.

    A difference of 20 levels is dark red.

    Usually, a raid party was needed to catch a monster 20 levels higher. It was about uniting parties and ganging up on strong monsters.

    But Anonymous caught the level difference that dozens of people could barely catch, alone.

    That was why Anonymous was getting attention.

    It was amazing.

    The longer a player Full Dives,

    In a game that’s like a level bully, she ignores the level.

    Because it was a game based on Magical Power, it was also possible to create relative effects in the game. For example, time acceleration.

    It actually makes it possible for one’s own time and the time of others to flow differently.

    A similar effect appears in the level difference.

    That’s why a 10-level difference is called an absolutely insurmountable level difference.

    But thanks to that, there was no longer any arbitrary oppression, such as increasing the health bar or preventing damage from being dealt as much as the level difference, as in existing games.

    Theoretically, even a level 1 could catch a level 100.

    Theoretically, theory was just theory, so no matter how skilled the driver was, it was impossible for a compact car to beat a sports car.

    But,

    • She did it;;

    If you list the monsters Anonymous has caught so far,

    Basilisk.

    Mountain King Ogre.

    Grand Witch candidate Win.

    The Orc Elite Troop alone is a top-tier knight order-level force composed of red and dark red at level 22.

    • The lineup is crazy.

    Yes, it’s crazy.

    • How is that possible?

    • Does anyone know what she did in reality?

    • How would you know, she’s Anonymous.

    So Anonymous was being dug into to find out her identity.

    As far as they could tell, Anonymous was female, had large breasts, and long hair.

    Of course, there are many women who fit those elements, but because the Anonymous, set as Anonymous and hidden by a silhouette, has the video itself edited, it was difficult to determine whether she was male or female just by looking at the appearance or the outside.

    But they did it.

    By analyzing the movement of terrain and indirect aftermath.

    The commenters were trembling at the trembling analysis.

    • Stop stalking.

    • Why do you want to know that?

    Where there is shadow, there is light.

    There were also people who wanted to respect Anonymous.

    Mostly Native Heroes.

    They didn’t know about portrait rights, but they learned about privacy through the community, and they despised internet morality.

    • Oh, it’s up.

    At that time, there was a change in the video.

    It was only visible to those who watched the video.

    A complete blind spot for Anonymous.

    Viewers who spotted the eyes of a beast from a distance reported the news.

    A werewolf hiding in the shadows of the forest, holding its breath and quietly approaching.

    The muscular clumsiness and the agility of movement were simultaneously established within that physique of 3 meters.

    How agile it was, even though it was moving with that physique, there was almost no sound.

    Viewers listening to the sound next to the Lord Kobold only hear the sound of the wind blowing, and they are surprised to see the Mountain King up close.

    • No way.

    • That physique and that movement are a scam.

    • Ugh… trauma.

    Lord Kobold.

    It is classified as a difficult monster to subdue.

    Because it aims for the rear of the party with its nimble movements.

    The Lord Kobold knows how to hunt.

    It’s the worst that a monster with overwhelming physical abilities doesn’t wield that power from the front and hunts in hiding.

    • Why is everyone so quiet?

    • It’s not like we’re commenting in real time.

    The comment section was unusually quiet.

    As if the Lord Kobold had muted it, it grabbed Anonymous from behind.

    Using the terrain of the mountain, the Lord Kobold, who had climbed to a high ground, jumped off a low cliff and launched a surprise attack from the air.

    • But why is she being so careful with Anonymous?

    There was no reply.

    Kang.

    Anonymous defended against the Lord Kobold’s surprise attack.

    As soon as she blocked the surprise attack, she rushed at the Lord Kobold.

    As if she didn’t want to waste time figuring out the situation, Anonymous began to fight without even knowing the identity of the Lord Kobold.

    • Huh? Why is she dodging?

    • With a 20-level difference, she should be able to overwhelm her with physical strength?

    Downward Slash from above.

    It emitted Sword Aura and approached the Lord Kobold.

    But the Lord Kobold didn’t even try to parry the sword and widened the distance.

    When there was a good stone to trip on, he kicked the stone and threw it at Anonymous.

    The stone is split by the Upper Slash,

    Anonymous rushes again.

    • No, even if it’s because of the Sword Aura, is she that scared?

    • How much Magical Power did she invest;;

    • Someone explain.

    • Swordsmen, help me.

    But there were hardly any people explaining.

    Even if there were, they were just absurd words.

    Most of the viewers with swordsman jobs who understood the power of Sword Aura felt the value of Anonymous and were eyeing her as a recruitment target.

    Their origins were Summoned Heroes, and if they were Awakened, Hunters, or skilled enough to reach high levels, their position as Hunters was also high.

    Native Heroes were affiliated with noble families or royal families somewhere, and all their words and actions had political meaning.

    They were careful with their words.

    • Tsk, that’s why in-game communities are no fun. They don’t even let you swear.

    • (This comment has been deleted.)

    • Everyone’s become old men in the back room, sigh.

    But the reason it was so severe was because Anonymous, the uploader of the video, had set the comment settings to full options.

    Swearing, sexual harassment, and political remarks were immediately blocked without warning.

    Chang.

    Chang.

    Chaechang.

    Anonymous and the Lord Kobold clashed sporadically.

    The Lord Kobold, who had been insisting on a method of secretly approaching and subduing the enemy with one strong blow, began to change his method.

    The monster with overwhelming physical abilities leads the fight.

    She could have escaped if she tried to escape, and she could have slowed down the battle pace if she wanted to.

    The reason she went to the front line was,

    • She must have realized that Anonymous is physically weak.

    • Didn’t she realize it from the beginning?

    • We know the level, but she doesn’t.

    Just as the Hero cannot see the level of the monster,

    Monsters cannot see the level of the Hero either.

    Since they can’t even distinguish by the color of the letters, the Lord Kobold had to trust her intuition.

    Anonymous was unilaterally pushed back.

    She was overwhelmed by the Lord Kobold in all specs, from physical strength to speed.

    She hardened her defense and parried the Lord Kobold’s claws, and was driven into a defensive position.

    The fact that she was holding on was thanks to Anonymous’s pure skill.

    Even though she should have been blown away in one blow from the size difference, Anonymous used some Skill, and whenever she parried the Lord Kobold’s claws, dust rose from the floor.

    When Anonymous was cornered on a cliff, the Lord Kobold saw it as an opportunity and launched a series of attacks.

    • Ah.

    • What?

    • Plum.

    Someone stopped writing.

    She recognized someone she knew.

    Plum Blossom Sword Technique.

    Plum Blossom Dance.

    She threw Phantom Swords.

    When Anonymous was cornered against the wall, she took out the Phantom Swords she had been hiding and deprived the Lord Kobold of her mobility.

    The Phantom Swords pierced into the Lord Kobold’s thick legs.

    But she couldn’t cut it.

    The fragile Phantom Sword collided with the fur and shattered.

    That was good enough.

    Rather, as if that was the purpose, the Phantom Swords aimed at the knees.

    The attacked leg reflexively flinched and surprised the Lord Kobold.

    Anonymous did not miss the flinching gap.

    She takes out a sword from her Inventory.

    The sword contained blue flames.

    Blue Flame Magic Sword.

    When Anonymous wielded the Magic Sword, blue flames spread all over the Lord Kobold’s body.

    The Lord Kobold tried to put out the flames and emitted Magical Power. The blue flames attached to her body burst and scattered like balloons.

    But during that moment,

    It was Anonymous’s turn.

    Her eyes glowed red.

    Slash.

    Slash.

    Slash.

    She slashed.

    She put Sword Aura into the Magic Sword and damaged the Lord Kobold’s fur, which was harder than steel and harder than mithril.

    There were no external wounds.

    The Sword Aura’s attack power could not penetrate the Lord Kobold’s fur and was blocked.

    Unable to penetrate the Lord Kobold’s bio-armor.

    The Lord Kobold releases the blue flames.

    The turn is over.

    The Lord Kobold nervously reached out to knock the Magic Sword away with her claws.

    A blow from the vertical.

    • That’s the Sword Aura she used on the Basilisk, right?

    The hand the Lord Kobold threw out flew away.

    “What do you think?”

    “I’m speechless.”

    Chris, the clan leader of the ‘First Home’ clan, was only impressed by watching Anonymous’s video.

    She was replaying and pausing Anonymous’s movements in the video, and she was glimpsing her skillful control in the detailed parts.

    How many Hunters who could do this were there in reality?

    “Even though there’s a size difference with the Mountain King, she’s making up for it with skill. Look at the combat skills that are ingrained in her body, not just the Skills. She’s not a novice who’s faced an opponent with a size difference once or twice.”

    “Now that I hear it, that’s true. Considering the level difference, it wouldn’t be strange if she was blown away, let alone flying away, and her body was torn apart.”

    “She’s controlling her body Enhancement in real time.”

    There was a common misunderstanding about body Enhancement.

    It’s a waste to apply Enhancement to the entire body.

    Enhancement is applied to the hand or foot when needed.

    Such common sense was being accepted as a common belief among beginners.

    But that statement was half right and half wrong.

    Rather, if you only enhance one part of the body, the balance is broken and it interferes with combat. Just like if you fight with a heavy sword, saying that the heavier it is, the stronger it is, the balance is broken and you are easily counterattacked.

    Even just the motion of throwing a punch involves swinging the legs, waist, shoulders, and arms to the fist.

    Enhancement had to be applied to all the body parts involved in that motion to be a proper Enhancement.

    To do that, you had to fully understand and feel the body structure.

    The body parts that are Enhanced are all the parts that move when throwing a punch.

    Magical Power had its limits.

    If you minimize the area to which Magical Power is applied, a strong Magical Power is applied to that area. Just like the force applied to a blade can cut through the skin even if it’s the same as the force of hitting with a fist, that force can become powerful.

    If you understand that and use it in practice, you can rightly call it a master.

    Even the body Enhancement that is important to tankers was a partial body Enhancement that could only be used without mistakes by fixing the body in place,

    In the video, Anonymous used it as naturally as if she had Enhanced her entire body.

    There were only three players who could do this, including Native Heroes, ranked 1st, 3rd, and 13th.

    If you look at people other than Heroes, maybe the Sword Masters of the Empire?

    “All I can say is amazing.”

    Anonymous cut off the Lord Kobold’s wrist and sprayed blue flames again.

    The Lord Kobold, engulfed in flames.

    Unable to hide her surprised eyes at losing her wrist, the Magic Sword hit her teeth while she was engulfed in flames.

    The tip of her canine tooth broke.

    The Magic Sword’s offensive continued.

    She fired vertical slashes and consecutive strikes at the relatively weak eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent the Lord Kobold from shaking off the blue flames.

    The only weapon that could threaten the Lord Kobold was the vertical slash that cut off her wrist.

    Anonymous stood in front of the Lord Kobold, who was trying to pick up her wrist.

    “Khehehe.”

    The situation was turning out to be fun.

    Chris also knows because she had a hard time with the Lord Kobold in the past.

    She encountered it when she was in a 2-person party, and the Healer was attacked as soon as she started.

    Who said that beasts don’t play with life?

    Animals also feel excitement and fun by playing with other animals.

    The Lord Kobold that Chris faced was like that.

    So she killed it, but she had some regrets that she didn’t finish it in one go.

    For the Lord Kobold, her severed left hand was her lifeline.

    Even if she ran away with her left hand lost, she would soon be killed by a monster challenging the hegemony of the mountain.

    There was no mercy for the wild.

    Anonymous seemed to know that well, as she didn’t even put it in her Inventory and was obviously leaving it behind her.

    The Lord Kobold howled fiercely.

    Anonymous provoked her as if to tell her to try attacking.

    Wielding the Magic Sword against the Lord Kobold’s severed left hand.

    But the Lord Kobold was cautious, so she hid in the forest as if running away.

    She hid persistently.

    Patience until she lets her guard down.

    But,

    “She’s completely toying with the monster.”

    Chris laughed amusingly.

    Anonymous roasted the Lord Kobold’s severed left hand with blue flames.

    The savory smell was transmitted to her watching.

    Of course, burning it with fire wouldn’t make it unable to regenerate.

    The important thing was the skeleton.

    As if she didn’t know that, Anonymous left the left hand and let her guard down.

    ───She pretended to let her guard down.

    All it had to do was be wary of the vertical slash anyway.

    The Lord Kobold jumped out.

    It quickly traversed by placing both hands and feet on the floor.

    It reveals its teeth behind her unguarded back.

    With the momentum to bite and kill.

    The most powerful weapon for the Lord Kobold was its jaw that could chew even steel.

    Anonymous didn’t show any signs of noticing.

    And the viewers know.

    That the video is about to end.

    She knew from when she saw the Tower capture video,

    “She’s not sparing her body.”

    Anonymous created a blind spot with her right arm and pierced her right arm with the Magic Sword. She put the Magic Sword into the Lord Kobold’s mouth.

    The Lord Kobold swallowed the Magic Sword’s blade along with Anonymous’s arm.

    The Magic Sword was infused with Magical Power.

    It was made into a bomb by suppressing the Magical Power from being emitted.

    Infusing it doesn’t make the Magic Sword a bomb, but right now that Magic Sword was a bomb.

    Bang.

    The Lord Kobold suffered a fatal internal injury.

    It endured, but

    Anonymous didn’t leave it alone.

    Vertical Slash.

    Its head falls.

    The subjugation video ended with that.

    “….”

    She has a lot of thoughts.

    The place where she and her clan executives gathered.

    They could only be impressed by watching the subjugation video.

    “What did she do in reality?”

    “Did one of the Ten Strong come?”

    “Why would the Ten Strong come here?”

    “It’s a game, she could come.”

    “Yeah, the Ten Strong are people too. She might be hunting monsters for the purpose of enjoying it normally.”

    After the video ended, the clan members expressed their opinions.

    Chris said.

    “She’s definitely a Summoned Hero. We’ll have to wait and see if she’s from that side or this side, but what’s clear is that she must have been incredibly famous on either side.”

    “Is she on our side?”

    “You, you were from that world, right? Is there anyone you can think of?”

    “No. How would I know, she’s covered her face.”

    There were many people in the comment section who were curious about Anonymous’s identity.

    And among those who were still quiet, Chris was conscious of the clan leaders of other clans.

    Because what they were thinking was not much different from what she was thinking.

    The occupation of Gospel.

    The investigation of Anonymous.

    Gospel will become a battlefield.
