Chapter 143
Chapter 143 – God Of The Game (9)’
The basic way to subdue people was simple.
An overwhelming difference in power.
Most became compliant when they saw that.
But there were those who remained defiant.
Stubborn.
Because it seemed that their beliefs were yielding to mere violence.
There were such people.
I didn’t want to use violence.
But those I used violence on were mostly not human.
Or they were not fully human.
Or they asked for my teachings, and when I gave them, they tried to escape, saying it was hell.
Sea King.
Subduing that friend was simple.
‘You can’t use power here.’
Neither Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique nor Divine Thunderbolt could be used.
But that was the same for the Sea King. So we made it a game.
“……Is this really the condition?”
“Yeah.”
The Sea King looked at me.
His eyes held disbelief.
“This… isn’t this condition too favorable for me?”
“No.”
“Huh?”
“It’s extremely favorable.”
“…I know you are highly skilled.”
“No.”
“Extremely skilled?”
“That’s right.”
As his lips curled up, the Sea King was dumbfounded.
“I am of the fairy race.”
“So?”
“I have lived quite a long time. Like the Green Forest King, I do not wish to be revered or worshiped just because of my age.”
“I’m quite old myself.”
“But aren’t you in your twenties? I don’t see the terrifying amount of mana or the unique feeling of a vampire.”
“Though my body’s age is mostly in the twenties, my mental age is a bit higher.”
I spoke while tapping my head.
The Sea King frowned, as if he didn’t understand.
“More than that, isn’t this a kind of test?”
“That’s right.”
It’s a test.
If he passed this test, I wouldn’t care what he did.
‘Honestly, it’s getting a bit tough.’
Others were learning the rules of this place.
Of course, I was confident. I could lead them and win.
The power of one exceptionally skilled person could carry the whole team.
‘Assuming they haven’t mastered it yet.’
However, the problem was that people were starting to learn the rules of this game and play properly.
Of course, those guys were just starting to learn, and I could crush them as always.
‘But can’t I crush them even more easily?’
It was an issue that should have been addressed from the start.
But I got greedy.
Was I satisfied with just this? That’s impossible.
‘Score copying is just so sweet and easy.’
It was not just giving out points.
The amount kept inflating, reaching up to the hundred million mark.
It made my lips curl wryly.
[Achievement points have exceeded 100 million.]
[With 100 million points, you can acquire A-grade weapons, elixirs, and unique traits.]
[With 1 billion points, you can acquire S-grade weapons, elixirs, and unique traits.]
[With 10 billion points, you can acquire SS-grade weapons, elixirs, and unique traits.]
‘SS grade, huh.’
It’s a grade I didn’t have.
Though I did possess one of a higher grade, the Vessel of the Archgod.
‘In truth, it’s a power I haven’t been able to blossom yet.’
The term ‘bound’ was more accurate.
I still couldn’t handle this power properly.
I could use it if I wanted, but since this power was bound to my soul, recklessly experimenting with it was a bit challenging.
Anyway.
I had developed quite the ambition for this trial.
I wanted to achieve a score of 10 billion.
To do that, I had to win overwhelmingly.
I was achieving more than 30 kills without dying and dealing over 100,000 damage each match.
That was not bad, but…
It was also important for the entire team to level up to maintain my no-death record.
No matter how strong I was, I couldn’t always be invincible.
So, I made a proposal to the Sea King.
“Really… you’re truly arrogant.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“Are you saying you won’t touch me with just one skill?”
“Yeah.”
So, come at me with all you’ve got.
“Let’s set the time limit to… about an hour.”
And then…
The Sea King couldn’t even touch a hair on me.
Yoo Eunchae led the party and started the game.
[You have won 10 games in a row without dying even once! You have earned P: 1,000,000!]
[Won 10 consecutive games without using the same champion! Earned P: 300,000!]
[Won 30 consecutive games without using the same champion! Earned P: 900,000!]
However, there was a slight disappointment.
Due to an unfortunate death in between, the consecutive score was lost.
But there was no choice.
Having one death was better than losing.
‘Well, it was indeed arrogance.’
The fortunate part was that her teammates followed well.
So there was less need to overexert.
‘There was someone who initially bought items by color without knowing anything.’
Was it around the 10th game?
Since she kept winning, a guy who thought his skills were decent was put in the top lane and realized his place appropriately.
In fact, it was induced.
Sent the entire opposing team to the top, and in the meantime, cleared mid and bottom.
And while catching the next cue, Yoo Eunchae felt a strange sensation.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
This character wasn’t supposed to be played like this.
Holding on by the turret as much as possible,
‘This is something only pro gamers would do.’
The shadow of a man came to mind.
It was when he started playing the game seriously.
When he just entered high school and debuted.
He shocked all gamers.
[Han Seojin, what the hell is this guy.]
It was a post on a community forum.
-Does this guy not understand the concept of a mage and assassin?
If you get counterpicked early, you’re supposed to just stay put and gain strength mid-game as a mage, so why is he roaming like an assassin, messing up bottom, top, and jungle in less than 10 minutes?
-He’s playing like an assassin, killing everyone;;
-Has the mechanical herald become that strong?
That guy’s ID definitely has a counter. I saw it clearly.
This guy can’t even distinguish between late-game powerhouses and early strong characters, lol. How is it logical to beat up the Shadow’s Master with a late-game character, lol?
I mean, damn. Why is the Machine Herald roaming early on?!
I’m telling you, Han Seojin is seriously weird! Why is he playing as an assassin with a late-game champion?!
system_enmd
[It’s not that the opponent’s mid-laner was particularly bad.]
– The Machine Herald is usually weak early game, so I picked an assassin to pressure him, but that guy just grabbed him by the hair and beat him up, then forced him to hide under the tower. That’s abnormal.
In the process, the jungle and mid-lane donated two deaths, and the balance just crumbled, yeah.
Look at how that guy plays, lol. It’s like he uses Q as if it’s a ghost form.
He seriously seems to think Q is some kind of infinite ghost form that uses a bit of mana…
ㄴHow are his skill shots so precise? He hits 2-3 people at a time with laser shots, it’s unbelievable.
ㄴEven his second hits are spot on, lol.
ㄴDid you hear the voice just now? How does a mid-laner read the enemy jungle like a ghost… ha.
ㄴHaha, I heard there’s a place that praises our Seojin. Thank you.
ㄴDamn, don’t you manage your players?
He was that kind of person.
A person who transcended the limits of a character.
A man who effortlessly shattered the frameworks set by others.
The shadow of that person loomed over the presence before her.
Of course.
[G: Acquired 300.]
[You have slain a hero. P: Acquired 100.]
“Why, why can’t I be like that guy?”
[G: Acquired 300.]
[You have slain a hero consecutively. P: Acquired 200.]
“It’s a scam! This is a scam!”
[G: Acquired 300.]
[You have killed a hero consecutively. P: 500 acquired.]
“Ugh! That con artist bastard!”
“…….”
Yoo Eunchae felt a strange uneasiness despite easily killing her opponent.
We smashed everything that blocked our path.
Our score had already soared past a billion points.
‘The scores are more generous than I thought?’
Honestly, I hit a blind spot.
The guy who made this game tried hard to stop what I was doing.
[Mid laner, the Desert King’s range is……]
[Supporter, the Fairy Mage’s AP ratio is……]
[Mid laner, the Ice Witch’s mobility is……]
.
.
.
Looking at it this way, I did feel a bit sorry for the latecomers.
Did I cause over 50 changes with my rampage?
‘But they made it too easy to find.’
The balance is a mess too.
If it were a game with bugs, I could have decided to break it.
However, there were advantages too.
‘The score keeps getting higher.’
With each patch, the increase was significant.
At first, it was subtle, but now it feels at least ten times greater.
Because of that, I could achieve quite a high score.
1st Han Seojin: 1,291,921,192.
‘Moreover, the ones who entered here did better than I thought.’
[Unique Trait, Severance (S) is activated.]
I discreetly sliced through space to check, and there were more rooms.
Thanks to that.
I could find traces of where it moved.
‘Found it.’
The actions that followed were simple.
[Would you like to end the session?]
“Yes.”
I came outside and quietly stretched.
‘The others seem to still be enjoying themselves.’
Green Forest King, Emperor, Sea King, and Nam Hyerin.
Those four seemed to be having fun.
‘Well, does it matter?’
The most important thing was Shin Yura.
As long as she was here, there was no problem.
I severed space with Severance.
The wall split with a crack, connecting the space.
“……Professor?”
“Hello. Do you have a moment?”
“Pardon? I always have time…….”
“Then shall we go shake down the one who made this place?”
“That would be difficult.”
A voice was heard.
A space where only Shin Yura and I should be.
A very peculiar voice.
Depending on how you heard it, it sounded like a man, or sometimes like a woman.
It also sounded like an old person’s voice, and sometimes like a child’s.
This bastard.
“So you were here?”
“This is really troublesome.”
“What is?”
“You. I used quite a bit of my power remodeling this dungeon.”
“So?”
“Probably… you’ll get a better reward than you think.”
“Is that troublesome?”
“Yes, I used quite a bit of my power there. Well, my magic attribute is usually good, but the risk is too big.”
“That’s great. Since it’s come to this, letting me drain all your magic and finding a new shelter isn’t bad.”
“Haha, if there were options, that wouldn’t be bad, but there’s no one who can beat the Demon God.”
“There is, though? That Insect Dragon King was burning.”
“……”
I could feel him watching me.
“……You’re saying something very strange?”
He must not know.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Fwoosh.
Gray flames enveloped my fist.
‘First.’
Let’s start with a hit.
