Kim Heeyeon hesitated for a while, then spoke.
“They’re probably targeting a dungeon…”
“How did you all get here? There must have been chimeras in front of you.”
“At exactly midnight, the chimeras stop moving. About two hours.”
“Really?”
This is a mechanic not present in War of Gods.
“Are the players who locked you up and left you here now going after this dungeon?”
“I heard them saying they would attack it in a few days, but I don’t know how much time has passed since then….”
Yujun cut off the rope that tied Kim Heeyeon with his sword.
“Thank you.”
“You can go back alone, can you?”
“…I’ll try.”
Kim Heeyeon looks nervous.
Yujun smiled inwardly.
“Follow me, I’ll take you to the crossroad. Because I have to go there anyway.”
“Yes! Thank you so much!”
He pretended to be doing a good deed.
That way she’ll feel more grateful.
“Take the lead.”
“What?”
Kim Heeyeon asked.
“I’ll follow behind you.”
“…Oh, I see.”
Kim Heeyeon, who understood Yujun’s meaning, quickly stepped forward.
Only then did Yujun started walking with a comfortable face.
‘I can’t overlook you.’
He couldn’t guarantee that she was a good person because she was weak and a victim.
‘I’m close to a beginner who just entered Infinite Tower. I have to be careful.’
He released Kim Heeyeon because he was aiming for something.
So he has to be careful in his subsequent actions.
Once Kim Heeyeon was taken out of the wall, he thought it was a good move so far.
Because he knew she specialized in dungeon exploration.
He has the confidence to make good use of her.
‘You can give me a few items.’
Anyone is equal in front of items.
This unchanging truth will be the same even now that the game has become a reality.
There were no dangerous situations on the way back.
All the chimera on the road were covered up and laid all over the floor.
Kim Heeyeon widened her eyes.
“T-this is…Did you do all this?”
“Yes.”
“…”
As if it were no big deal, Kim Heeyeon could not say anything when she saw Yujun speaking so boldly.
They were able to get to the fork in the path.
It was then.
Suddenly a small arrow with blue energy flew.
Exactly aiming for Kim Heeyeon’s head.
Yujun quickly pulled Kim Heeyeon’s shoulder.
“Agh!”
The arrow brushed past her collar.
Yujun turned his head in the direction of the arrow.
He saw three players with wry smiles.
“How did she get out?”
“That guy must have saved her.”
“Really? Anyway, you’re lucky. How the hell did you find this path?”
It’s his first time facing players.
But he did not panic.
Yujun quickly measured his enemies’ level.
‘What level are they?’
It doesn’t look that high just by looking at their item level.
If they were struggling against the chimera in this dungeon, they’re not high level.
‘It’s possible.’
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy.
This is the first time he actually fought against players.
He had Player Kill countless times in the game, and he has handled those powerful chimeras easily, but…
‘Honestly, dealing with people is another thing.’
As the tension was about to rise, his body relaxed.
He calmed down as if nothing had happened.
Yujun judged the situation calmly.
‘They’re wary of me, too.’
No wonder.
Yujun did not only reach level 50, but has also equipped his accessories.
His previous defense has increased into hero-grade, level 50 defenses.
And because it was hero grade, it was incomparable to ordinary items.
In addition, a legendary grade sword with a 130 level limit.
Those players may see Yujun as being very high level.
‘Strictly speaking, it’s not.’
This is a hidden dungeon on the third floor of the Infinite Tower.
It was not a place high-level players would be.
Level 50 is very high among the people on the third floor.
“Hey. Why don’t you just leave this dungeon and not be greedy?”
Said the bearded player.
An open threat.
In the end, they seemed to have decided that they were superior.
Clearly, numerical advantage is the reason.
If it was a fight between players, there would be a lot of variables.
And it was self-evident that large numbers have an advantage.
“Say something.”
“Is your mouth tied? You bastard.”
“Hey. Let’s just kill him. She’s useless anyway, right?”
“Yes. It’s bothersome to persuade.”
A trio of players.
They winked at each other.
Joo Taehwan, who uses a sword, made the first move.
In order to assist him, Choi Jonghoon cast a spell on Joo Taehwan.
It was a magic that increased movement speed.
Joo Taehwan, having received the buff, rushed to Yujun’s front.
Faster than expected.
Yujun hurriedly lifted his sword to meet Joo Taehwan’s sword.
Clank!
“…huh?”
Joo Taehwan made a stunned sound.
This is because his sword, which he wielded, was broken in two.
On the other hand, Yujun’s sword, which he only lifted, was perfectly fine.
An opening appeared on Joo Taehwan.
As Yujun was aiming his sword at Joo Taehwan, suddenly a big rock appeared and stood in his way.
Swish! Thud!
Although he split the rock as it appeared, Joo Taehwan had already stepped back.
Joo Taehwan, who almost lost his life for a moment, breathed a sigh.
“Fuck, I almost died.”
“If it weren’t for me, that would have been so.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t let your guard down. He’s not normal.”
“…”
“But what kind of sword is that? Does that make sense no matter how high the attack is? Is his skill level high?”
The three players were flustered.
Like the game War of Gods, attack and defense are very important factors.
So far, the man’s attack and defense seemed to be higher than theirs.
However, everyone has already drawn their weapons..
They couldn’t get scared out of here.
“Let’s attack at once. He’s one anyway. The woman is negligible.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s take care of him and the woman quickly.”
They didn’t care about Kim Heeyeon at all.
No wonder.
She’s rather a hindrance to Yujun.
Knowing that, Yujun pushed Kim Hee-yeon back.
“Stay behind.”
“But…”
“Shoo.”
“…Okay.”
Yujun realized something after one clash with Joo Taehwan.
It is much easier to deal with three players in front of him than the dozens of chimeras.
In a way, it was natural.
Had they been at a level where they could easily hunt the chimeras, they would have attacked this hidden dungeon.
But the fact that the attack is still slow shows that the three are not strong enough.
The problem is.
‘Can I kill them?’
It was that he had no experience of murder.
Chimera, werewolf, and humans-like zombies have been killed.
But they weren’t human.
He has never taken a human life.
“Huu…”
Those players are the ones who try to kill people casually.
If he has a weak heart here, it will be him in the end.
He recognized that point.
Yujun controlled his mind.
‘If I try to subdue them clumsily, I might get beaten.’
He decided to do his best to kill the players.
Yujun’s eyes sank deep.
With his sword stretched out to the fullest extent, Yujun swung his sword at the arrow that was flying fast.
Chik!
Not exactly split in half, but the arrow was shattered and scattered on the floor.
It was possible because his ability has increased and transcended what normal humans were capable of.
“C-crazy!”
“Deflected the arrow?”
“Is that sword some sort of legendary grade?”
“I don’t think it’s a legendary grade…”
“I don’t think so either because it looks simple.”
Yujun moved as they were panicking.
Feeling horrified, the magic player created a barrier using earth magic.
The archer fired arrows in succession toward Yujun, who was running.
The direction towards the end of an arrow.
Looking at it carefully, Yujun turned around and simply dodged the arrow.
After that, he walked up the wall with two feet.
Standing on the wall, he swung his sword at the archer’s leg without hesitation.
Argh!
“Ahhhhh!”
Ko Jongsoo, a bow player, fell.
When Joo Taehwan caught him from below, Yujun had already jumped.
Swish-!
The blade drew a straight line from top to bottom.
Yujun used his falling power to increase his destructive power.
The result was amazing.
Not only Joo Taehwan but also Ko Jongsoo lost their life when their bodies were cut in half.
Yujun’s eyes shook slightly at the grotesque scene.
‘I can’t be stirred.’
The world has changed.
A place where only the very cold and strong can survive.
As the final goal is to reach the end of the Infinite Tower, he should not have hostile relations with players, but in this situation, showing mercy was not something he can do.
He can’t fall here.
Yujun did not regret his actions.
“Wait, hold on!”
Choi Jonghoon, the lone wizard, shouted with a horrified face.
Yujun walked straight ahead without saying anything.
“Spare me! I’ll do anything! Please!”
Choi Jonghoon turned his back and started to run away when Yujun did not stop.
Yujun also ran.
‘Don’t spare anyone.’
He didn’t know what kind of trouble would come back later.
Yujun ran with all his might and stabbed his sword at Choi Jonghoon’s back.
Psh-!
“Ahh! It hurts! Please let me off!”
Choi Jonghoon erected another earth barrier to push Yujun away
However, Yujun is not someone who would just stand by and watch.
He stamped Choi Jonghoon’s back with his foot.
“Huk! Hey, hey! Don’t regret it later and get out of the way now! Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know. Who is it?”
“I belong to the Golden Lion guild. Do you think they’ll just sit and watch after they find out I’m dead? This fact, if this is known, you’re a dead man!”
“That’s not wrong.”
“Right? So right now…”
“But how will the Golden Lion guild know who I am?”
“What?”
“There’s no witness.”
To be exact, there was one witness.
Kim Heeyeon was watching from afar.
But she wouldn’t say anything about it.
There’s nothing to be gained doing so.
Psh!
He pulled out his sword that had penetrated Choi Jonghoon’s throat.
Red blood dripped on the floor.
Yujun had a bitter look on his face.
First murders.
It didn’t happen under unavoidable circumstances.
He made his own decision and followed through.
“If I don’t kill, I’ll die, but…After all, a murderer is a murderer.’
It was a choice in response to the world that had changed in an instant.
‘As long as I don’t murder people without a cause.’
Surprisingly, there was no big change to his psyche.
Yujun silently took care of the items left by the players that died.
