I Regressed But The World DidnT Fall Apart - Chapter 30

I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 30

Streaming of the Transcendental Hunter -30-

030.

The game continued.

Yorund and Viking warriors set sail.

“Wow. They’ve implemented everything, even this kind of thing. It’s amazing every time I cast spells.”

Black Oak said, looking impressed.

-Isn’t it over the top that you have to steer it yourself? hahahaha

-hahahahaha

-You know about reality?

-Damn hahahaha, but that’s seriously intense

Valder Games, the creators of Rise of Valhalla, were a game company that believed in making exceptional games with exceptional realism.

As such, Valder Games sought realism even in Valhalla’s sailing system, where players had to steer the ship themselves, as part of that pursuit.

This was even in Real Mode.

Although in game mode you could skip it for faster progress, now skipping wasn’t an option.

Of course, even though it was a game, steering was as difficult as doing it in real life.

“So. Try this in Real Mode, folks. People are saying these game company guys are insane, right?”

Black Oak grumbled.

Yet, his hands didn’t rest.

It was because he had heard a strange sound while already on edge earlier.

“Do not lose your focus! If you don’t want your head cracked.”

Yorund, who was laying down the law once again.

His sharp, piercing eyes were fixed on Black Oak.

The numb Black Oak quickly moved his arm to dodge the attack.

-hahahaha hurry up and dodge!

-If you can’t block, then dodge!

-For real hahahaha

Thwack!

But Yorund landed a blow on Black Oak’s head.

The issue this time was that Black Oak dodged too quickly.

“Sync with others! Dodge as if you’re one body!” How many times do I have to say that!”

Since it wasn’t during battle, there was no pain, but the mood was sour.

-hahahaha getting beaten by an NPC, really?

-This is hilarious, Orcs are the comedy stars today!

-Is this real mode where you can’t skip sailing?

-If that happens to me, I’ll be so mad hahahaha

Viewers chuckled as they watched.

Black Oak’s pitiful situation contrasted with Yorund and provided entertainment.

“Um… Fighting. Mr. Black Oak.”

Ido Hyuk quietly cheered.

Ido Hyuk wasn’t dodging.

Right now, in the Rankskip, except for two people, everyone else was dodging, and those two were Yorund and Ido Hyuk.

To maintain balance, they paired the dodgers in even numbers, so one person could rest without dodging.

Yorund assigned this to Ido Hyuk, who was the best at finishing battles.

“I’d like to switch if I could…”

But that wasn’t possible.

If they tried to switch places, Yorund would block them.

In fact, having one person rest while the others dodged was one of the elements inserted into the game for players participating in a multi-player play.

If it were a 3-player play, one would rest while the other two dodged.

-For real, these guys are wicked.

-hahahaha, messing with gamers is our hobby.

-Yet, they make games so addictively fun, that’s the issue.

-??? : Hey~ hahahaha, then are you not going to play the game?

Balder Games was a game company famous for receiving both praise and curses from gamers.

Firstly, they were praised for their exceptional production abilities, going from hit to masterpiece with each release.

At the same time, they received curses for diligently inserting elements that seemed to ponder how to torment gamers like now.

Of course, if such things came from a failure, it might be seen as an attempt to annoy gamers, but for a company like Balder Games, making games well in their own way actually fueled gamers’ competitive spirit.

-hahahaha

-The visuals are insane.

-I’m totally addicted to this gameplay.

-The beauty of the sea, lol

-Since we’re already here, why not go around one more time? I think Dohyuk-sensei would agree, lol

-hahahaha, that’s terrible.

No matter what, since a game is a game, the rowing didn’t last long.

How much time had passed?

“Whoa!”

“Odin’s son is with us!”

A song echoed among the Vikings.

The voyage had suddenly ended.

“Thor blesses us too!”

In Viking terms, it meant the voyage ended safely without encountering a storm.

They arrived at the beach.

Yorund guided the Vikings to a suitable camping spot.

“First, we camp here!”

“Yes!”

“Gunar and Black Oak! Confident in hunting?”

“Yes! We are confident!”

Black Oak shouted loudly.

As the Viking warriors prepared for camping, Dohyuk and Black Oak were assigned a quest.

[Camping Preparation]

[Hunting 0/5]

Securing food through hunting.

Black Oak skillfully handled the bow.

While the Vikings considered using cold weapons to defeat enemies more honorable than long-range weapons like bows, they still utilized bows.

Originally, Vikings were both warriors and hunters. Bows were essential to them.

Having played Valhalla multiple times, Black Oak was familiar with the bow.

“hehehe. Let’s go, Dohyuk.”

With a confident face, Black Oak led Dohyuk.

“I wonder if he’s good at shooting a bow.”

Mastery of the bow required a significant amount of time. Moreover, the wooden bows used by Vikings were ancient.

To become proficient, Black Oak had spent a considerable amount of time practicing in training modes.

He even spent weeks practicing archery challenges in other medieval games.

“Have you ever shot a bow?”

“Well… I’ve tried a few times just for fun in the past. It wasn’t a real bow like this, though.”

“I see. Playing around with toy bows. It’s okay. Who am I? I am Robin Hood of Tworke, Black Oak. Trust me.”

-hahahaha, he’s so proud of showing off his skills

-He’s gotten talkative

-Robin Hood of Tworke? Aren’t you just Black Oak of Tworke?

“The bow, huh…”

Ido Hyuk pulled the bowstring to test the bow.

The basic equipment provided was a bow and arrows.

More strength was needed to pull it than he had thought.

It was his first time actually pulling a bow like this.

Of course, it wasn’t like he had played with toy bows like Black Oak might have thought.

“You’ve shot magic arrows before, right?”

A unique ability of a former hunter colleague.

It was a long-range skill that had considerable power, which had once been favored.

However, unlike the ability that created magic with the bow and arrow just by making the motion of shooting into the air, this was his first time actually shooting a bow.

Twang-

Ido Hyuk aimed with the bow.

The target was a tree in the distance.

And-

Swish!

The arrow swiftly flew as he released the string.

But instead of hitting the aimed tree, it brushed past into thin air.

“Oh…”

“Looks like even Master Dohyuk can’t shoot.”

“If you don’t try, it’s tough.”

“I might get better with a few more shots.”

“True. It’s not as easy as I thought.”

“hahahaha. So there’s something Master Dohyuk can’t do.”

Black Oak chuckled at Ido Hyuk’s archery skills.

He might not match Ido Hyuk, but he was a physical-type streamer in his own right.

However, despite that, his performance had been lacking so far.

It was especially noticeable because the comparison was with Ido Hyuk.

But now, things were different.

Finally, it was his turn to show something.

“Shh. There’s a rabbit over there. I’ll shoot first.”

Black Oak calmly pulled the bowstring upon spotting the rabbit.

Twang-

Whoosh!

Black Oak hit the rabbit accurately, not just with baseless confidence.

Thanks to the Battle System of Valhalla, it was possible to make a surprise attack since wild animals didn’t recognize players until aggro was drawn.

Before aggro was drawn, all one had to do was aim at animals peacefully grazing, but hitting the target they aimed for precisely was quite impressive.

“Oh.”

“He’s quite the shot.”

“Even from behind, hitting that is seriously impressive.”

“hahahaha. How’s that for my archery skills?”

The hunt continued after that.

[Hunting 3/5]

Before they knew it, Black Oak had hunted three animals.

Luck was on their side.

In truth, Black Oak knew how to shoot a bow to some extent, but they weren’t exceptionally good at it.

Against a stationary target, they could hit about 6-7 out of 10 shots.

In other words, they would miss about 3-4 times.

Swish!

Thud!

Just like that.

“Ah, I made a mistake.”

This time, the arrow missed its target.

The deer, who had been grazing peacefully, startled and turned around.

Only then did it notice the human and hastily tried to flee.

Black Oak attempted to shoot another arrow, but once again, it just pierced through the empty air.

“Sigh, hitting a moving prey isn’t usually this difficult…”

As Black Oak was making excuses, right at that moment,

Swish!

A single axe was thrown.

Thud!

The thrown axe landed precisely on the deer’s neck.

-?

-Whoa.

-hahahahaha, no way.

-What the?

“To hit a moving target, you need to calculate the direction and speed. Just like predicting where the target is heading and throwing it there.”

Saying so, Ido Hyuk retrieved the axe.

-hahahahaha, that easy?

-Yeah, this guy throws axes really well.

-How to throw axes well? Just throw them well.

-Oh!

-Why shoot a bow? Just throw an axe.

-hahahaha!

[Hunting 4/5]

Black Oak stared back with a puzzled look.

**

Swish!

Thud!

[Preparing for camping]

[Hunting 5/5]

Let’s hunt down one more, and the clear indication appears.

And the cutscene continues.

[Assault]

The screen transitions.

A campsite where Viking warriors, including Yorund, are busy preparing for camping.

There were intruders scouting the place.

“Vikings, it seems.”

“Not many in number. I can barely see around six of them.”

“Not many campfires either. Even if we count a few more, it would be about ten in total.”

Three soldiers armed with swords and wooden shields, a two-handed hammer, and a spear were hiding among the trees, surveying the campsite.

Judging by their attire, they were Saxon soldiers.

“We need to inform the commander quickly.”

“Garrett, since you’re the fastest, go and come back. We’ll keep an eye on these guys here.”

The soldier known as Garrett moves.

And once again, the screen transitions.

Inside the camp surrounded by palisades.

Garrett, who has returned to the camp, enters the largest tent.

Then, he begins reporting to someone inside the tent.

“Dirty Viking scum have arrived?”

“Yes. Seems to be around ten in number.”

“Hmm! They’ve come to the right place to die!”

＜Elite Warrior Carol＞

The name floating above the one receiving the report.

Garrett’s name is written in yellow, but unlike the other Saxon soldiers, he alone is written in green.

It meant he was a boss-level enemy.

After Carol listens to Garrett’s report and gives instructions to the soldier beside him, the soldier goes out and gathers all the soldiers in the camp.

Carol, too, finishes gearing up and stands in front of the soldiers.

Raising the military flag, Carol shouts loudly at the soldiers.

“The barbaric Viking scum are eyeing our territory! There are merely ten of them!”

The number of gathered soldiers seemed enough.

Even all properly armed soldiers.

After Carol’s speech to boost morale ends, the soldiers start moving.

That’s the end of the cutscene.

The screen returns to the bushes where the hunting was taking place.

And a notification pops up.

[Assault]

[Enemies are targeting the campsite.]

[Return to the campsite before the enemies arrive.]

[Time remaining until assault: 07:59]

“Oh, it looks like the game is finally starting in earnest.”

Ido-hyuk picked up the axe he had thrown before the cut scene appeared, saying, “Alright, let’s get into battle at last.”

“Is it a big one?”

“Yep, it’s gonna be intense.”

“Vroom vroom.”

Expectant viewers filled with excitement.

Ido-hyuk, who had shown a crazy side in the previous [Killstooth], was now playing a far more intense Battlehalla, so it was only natural for the audience to have high expectations.

Ping-

[“Dual Axe Murderer” has donated 1,000 won.]

“If you kill with an axe, do you get 5 kills per hit?”

There was even someone setting a kill mission.

Ido-hyuk immediately nodded, “Sure thing. Thank you for the mission, Dual Axe Murderer.”

“Ha-ha. Then hurry back. You just have to follow me since I know the way.”

Saying so, Black Oak prepared to return.

Ido-hyuk asked, “Go back? Where to?”

“We need to return to the campsite. If we don’t, time is tighter than you think. The more we delay, the more Vikings die. See the map?”

On the map, a group of Saxon soldiers marked with red dots was seen approaching the campsite.

[Time until assault: 06:49]

Time was continuously running out.

“······?”

However, Ido-hyuk didn’t quite understand Black Oak’s explanation.

So, he asked again, “Um… isn’t it enough to meet at the coming intersection?”

“······?”

This time, Black Oak looked puzzled in return.

Ido-hyuk marked a spot on the map and explained, “Hmm. Around here, we might meet our soldiers first. It’s advantageous to fight with the soldiers over there, right?”

“Advantageous?”

“Yes. It’s 5,000 won per two kills, so if you fight with other Vikings and they kill them, it’s a waste, right?”

“······.”

Only then did Black Oak understand Ido-hyuk’s words.

‘So… are we saying that we, or rather the axe kills, will fight against twenty soldiers alone?’

Just as Black Oak was about to ask if he understood correctly, a donation alert sounded.

Ping-

[“Dual Axe Murderer” has donated 1,000 won.]

“hahahaha, this streamer’s mindset is completely different from ours.”

-Why fight together when you could just kill alone? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-For real, lol.

-Oh lol, they call themselves “Kill-Dang O-Chernan,” lol.

-Why sneakily fight 10 against 20? I’ll take on 20 by myself, yup.

-hahahaha, what a joke.
