The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 114
Episode 114
‘This is ridiculous!’
Japanese player Shoichiro Hatafuku was angry as he looked at the leaderboard being updated in real time with bloodshot eyes.
‘Does it make sense that I am lower than the inferior people of that peninsula?’
Since long ago, Koreans have been a despicable race who have been doing cowardly things behind people’s backs.
It was clear that there was something going on.
Shoichiro, a member of a hard-core right-wing group in Japan, hated the country of Korea itself.
This is an ungrateful trash country that is repaying Japan’s many blessings with vengeance.
There was no way that guys who grew up in a place like that would be playing properly.
Shoichiro wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts, as other Japanese players nearby also expressed their dissatisfaction.
“Damn, it looks like the Koreans are up to something strange again. “This is how the plan to win the Shoichiro Prize gets ruined!”
“What kind of trick did you use? “Have you found a way for four or more people to travel together?”
“I thought it was uncomfortable ever since the headquarters of Connect Co., Ltd. was located in Korea. “This is clearly a convenience for the people who run it!”
While each person was exploding with anger, someone clapped their hands and said, as if they had realized something.
“Could it be that they also used the method we were planning to use?”
“no way. “There is no way such scumbags could emulate the spirit of sacrifice of our great Japan.”
The Japanese players had agreed to pass Shoichiro unconditionally, no matter what happens.
The method was simple yet clear.
Japanese players sacrifice their lives to Shoichiro.
If there was no chance of passing anyway, it was a shallow strategy to give Shoichiro a kill rather than be killed by a strict player from another country.
Even though it had already appeared a few times at the end of the previous preliminary round, people were talking about it as if it was some kind of great strategy.
At that time, Shoichiro spoke with a stern expression.
“There is no need to worry about what has already happened. “I don’t want to play to the tricks of the cowardly Koreans, but we have to move quickly now.”
Whatever his ideology, Shoichiro was not an idiot. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to join the high rankers, one of only 5 in Japan.
“The situation became urgent because a guy named Do-hyeon scored a kill. “We also need to quickly increase our kill count.”
“yes? There’s no need to rush…”
“You idiot! Can’t you tell by looking at the situation? This means that those who are scared will stick together more thoroughly. Even if they are not from the same country, there may be a party that joins hands. “We need to make some money while there are still those who are careless!”
“I guess so.”
“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to go scouting?”
“yes! “I will come right away.”
The two players cautiously left the hiding place.
Shoichiro gritted his teeth in frustration. And in the back of my mind, a feeling of anxiety arose.
‘Will he really stop here?’
Common sense suggests that it would be right to hold on without pushing too hard, but for some reason, it didn’t seem like he would do that.
Suddenly, I became concerned about the number of survivors remaining. What if he goes on a rampage and the number of survivors plummets? In the future, it might be really difficult to find prey.
‘Could it possibly go that far? ‘Pisik.’
In any case, I didn’t expect that the board would be messed up so arbitrarily. I thought that since this had already come to an end, I wish I had run into him quickly.
I don’t know what trick they used, but I was confident that if I got it right, I could rip off the guy’s head in an instant.
No matter what anyone says, he is a descendant of a ‘ninja’ who was a specialist in one-on-one combat.
* * *
Blame it on Whirick.
“Where are we going in such a hurry?”
Bae Do-hyeon asked as he dropped down in front of the players who were running down the alley at a brisk pace.
“Wow, Bae Do-hyeon?”
The four players, startled, all took a step back.
Bae Do-hyeon was armed with a shield and a mace engraved with the symbol of a golden falcon.
Thump thump.
Bae Do-hyun, who created a threatening atmosphere by lightly tapping the shield with his mace, spoke naturally.
“You’re not planning on running away, are you? There’s a single person here and four people there. “Why don’t we fight fair and square?”
Then the players’ eyes came alive. I was scared when I saw the leaderboard, but isn’t Bae Do-hyun alone anyway?
“joy. Do you think this is a situation where the term fair and square is appropriate? “Do we really need to fight you fairly?”
A white player who appeared to be the leader of the party asked in a sharp tone.
Of course, they were not confident that they could fight Bae Do-hyeon alone.
Looking at the rankings and kill rankings, the momentum Dohyun was giving off right now was not normal.
Then Bae Do-hyeon shrugged his shoulders and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“Oh, of course I’m not talking 1:1. Because that’s not fair. All four of them attack at once. “That’s fair.”
“what?”
“Such an arrogant bastard…!”
“No matter how much you rank first, you are so arrogant!”
The players frowned and became angry.
Although they say they were pushed back by momentum, they were also people who went through competition and participated in the struggle.
They seemed to think that just being a few levels different was not enough to be ignored.
However, contrary to what was said, no one attacked Bae Do-hyeon.
“Heh. “The joke ends here.”
The smile disappeared from Bae Do-hyeon’s face.
He took a fighting stance with his shield in front and his mace behind him and took a deep breath.
An unknown and powerful force dominated the battlefield, and the players gritted their teeth and prepared for battle.
“Stay in formation! No matter how much you rank 1st, you are alone. “Don’t be scared, if we fight properly, we will win!”
“It’s all natural!”
“Now that it’s come to this, let’s destroy it!”
They were working together as if they were trying to cheer each other up, but that fact itself showed how psychologically concentrated they were.
Bae Do-hyeon calmly observed the formation of the players, covering himself with a shield as if there was no need to rush.
‘For a hastily organized party, did you prepare properly?’
In the front, a warrior player with a good physique was holding a shield and taking charge of defense. In the second row, there was a spearman and a sword-wielding player, and in the back row, a person holding a bow was aiming for an opportunity with an arrow at Bae Do-hyeon.
It was a standard combination with good offense and defense balance. Of course, Bae Do-hyun didn’t care at all.
‘He’s a good opponent for the first time. It’s a bit disappointing that there isn’t a wizard.’
With that thought in mind, Bae Do-hyeon finally began to move.
Tadat.
A step with a slightly different weight than when just holding a sword.
When using a shield, body balance was important, so the posture had to be lowered. So, my steps became a little shorter and my feet had more strength.
Whilick.
Bae Do-hyeon, who easily dodged the arrow fired by the archer by nodding his head, instantly accelerated and rushed into the players’ formation.
First, the spear of the spear was aimed at his chest and stabbed in.
‘Well that’s not a good choice.’
An honest body stab to an enemy holding a shield.
Bae Do-hyeon clicked his tongue slightly, took a small step, and knocked away the spear blade with the shield in his left hand.
As the spear blade moved away with a crackling sound, the longsword cut his body diagonally.
visor!
Bae Do-hyeon raised Morning Star from bottom to top and hit the blade of the long sword, while rotating his body and throwing away the Shield Warrior’s shield strike to his back.
Whoo wow boom!
Bae Do-hyeon used his rotational power to hit the shield warrior with the shield of his left hand.
The shield warrior tried to block Do-hyeon’s shield with the hatchet he was holding in his other hand, but it ended up defeating him.
“Khaak. evil!”
Instead of blocking the shield, the hatchet bounced back and crushed his face.
‘If I was in charge of defense like that, I should have been focusing instead of attacking.’
At first glance, it seemed like the skill was about strengthening the body, but the result of using a shield strike as if to show off one’s strength was fatal.
Taking advantage of the shield warrior’s loss of balance, Bae Do-hyeon was able to penetrate into their formation.
The spearman was unable to attack properly because the shield warrior’s body was too weak to move, and the swordsman was finally able to catch the sword that had bounced away and attack again.
The archer fired a second arrow at close range, but Bae Do-hyeon easily blocked it with his shield and threw a body slam at him.
bang.
“Kaaak!”
The bow that had been clumsily blocked broke and the archer was thrown backwards with his ribs broken.
Wedge.
When Bae Do-hyeon struck forward at the sound of a burst coming from behind, the longsword barely grazed his back.
Ugh.
Bae Do-hyeon, who finished off the archer who was in pain by swinging his mace, turned and looked at the players.
The large shield warrior has half of his face caved in and is unable to fight. The spearman and the swordsman were pointing their weapons in anger.
In just three or four days, one person died and another person retired, so they must be both angry and scared.
‘Then what was the archer’s skill?’
I couldn’t tell if it was because I fell so quickly that I couldn’t use my skills, or if I wasn’t originally an archer and picked up a bow because of my formation.
The thought of skills suddenly came to mind because the two players in front had just activated their skills.
“Take it, triple trust!”
“Sonic Blade!”
Looking at it, I realized why I was using the skill only now.
Both of them unfold their skills with very large movements, but it seems that the Shield Warrior was blocking the skill activation route a while ago.
‘You have to know how to transform and use it skillfully to improve your skills…’
Of course, if they had known how to do that, they would have been ranked among the high rankers.
Empty empty!
Awesome!
“This can’t be right!”
“You blocked two from the front at the same time?”
Bae Do-hyeon felt sorry for being surprised by something that was nothing special.
As mentioned before, thrusting a spear against a shield soldier was not a very good choice.
Unless you’re a fool, you can easily block it by bringing your shield to where the spear blade is.
‘In times like this, you should go for swinging or striking, not stabbing.’
If you strike with a long spear, even if you block it with a shield, the remaining spear may bend and hit the shield soldier’s head or shoulder.
Even if it is completely blocked, it is effective because it can deliver a much stronger blow than a stab.
In the case of the inspection, to be honest, it was below the standard. It seemed like he was relying on his skills without even basic swordsmanship training.
It was grandiosely called a sonic blade, but in reality it was only a slightly faster swing.
Bae Do-hyeon was not generous enough to suffer such basic skills.
‘I’ll have to finish it soon.’
I deliberately accepted the skills from the front in order to create a good picture, but it seemed like there was nothing more to expect.
Bae Do-hyeon’s skill was blocked first and he half-heartedly grabbed his weapon and rushed at the prosecutor.
“Oh don’t come!”
Bae Do-hyeon easily ignored the earnestness of the swordsman swinging his sword at random and approached him leisurely avoiding the blade of the sword as if he were taking a walk.
His mace fell on the swordsman’s head like a thunderbolt, as if it were heavenly punishment.
Damn it!
The swordsman pathetically tried to block the mace with the long sword, but the mace broke the long sword’s back and smashed the swordsman’s head at the same time.
“Monster.”
The spearman, whose eyes were completely blank, put his butt back and pathetically swung the spear, but it was not threatening at all.
Bae Do-hyeon threw away his shield, walked forward, and grabbed the swinging spear with his left hand.
“Uh huh?”
When the embarrassed spearman tried to pull out the spear again, Bae Do-hyeon relaxed his left hand.
Twisted.
That was the end of it.
Bae Do-hyun approached the player who had lost his balance and hit his buttocks and lightly finished him off with a mace.
“Ugh. “Ah.”
Now that I think about it, there are still shield warriors left. It was crawling in the opposite direction, as if trying to escape.
‘I gave them time to treat me with a potion… but it’s not the time for potions to be commercialized yet.’
Although it is a potion that is a necessity in every game, it is still an expensive consumable item for players around level 20 to purchase.
puck.
Mace turned red once more.
