The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 115
Episode 115 A
four-person party was easily annihilated, but Bae Do-hyeon’s expression was not very bright.
‘Even though it’s early in the game, it’s still too weak.’
The players were much weaker than expected.
This was not a game problem such as level or skill, but a more fundamental problem.
The basic understanding and experience of fighting and combat was sorely lacking.
‘I understand why other nobles and knights snorted when they saw the players.’
From the perspective of NPCs, not players, they were just strong children.
Even he, who already knew the player’s potential, suddenly wondered, ‘Can they really help me?’
‘Ha, let’s calm down. Let’s look back and see how I was at this time in my past life.’
I closed my eyes for a moment and summoned Bae Do-hyun’s past in my head when he was around level 20.
“Puhup.”
A thought occurred to me.
At that time, Bae Do-hyun was cursing the fact that telekinesis was a trait and was engaging in baseless play.
When I couldn’t find a party, I wandered around the hunting ground thinking that it wouldn’t matter if I died.
Then, thinking that I couldn’t continue like this, I blindly went to the Prosecutors’ Association to discuss weapons, a topic that had no relevant characteristics.
Then he grabbed everyone he saw and asked them to teach him how to use a sword.
Although he was treated like a crazy person, an instructor who took pity on him taught him basic common weapon skills, so it wasn’t in vain.
Thanks to this, hunting became somehow possible and I was able to learn the secret of assimilation rate and challenge myself to acquire skills by dying countless times.
To be honest, Bae Do-hyun at the beginning of the game was no different from a loser.
‘It wasn’t a situation where I would criticize others. Actually, there are many people who haven’t even experienced a proper fight.’
The reason players felt weak may have been because he became relatively too strong.
And it may be because of Raoul’s memory that, unlike modern people, he received systematic swordsmanship training from a young age.
In any case, it was difficult to use the players more properly in their current state.
‘If you want to work with me, shouldn’t you at least avoid being half-reliant on skills?’
The Academy has prepared for that.
However, no matter how good the curriculum was, it was useless if the people who learned it were not motivated.
Honestly, there are probably more players who are blinded by the benefits or rewards rather than wanting to learn something at the academy.
‘So I need to show it more clearly. The fact that there is something beyond skill or level.’
Then, they will surely realize the meaning of the academy again.
‘What should we do this time?’
Bae Do-hyeon began to move again, contemplating which weapon to use among the weapons in his inventory.

〈Real-time ranking〉
1st place – Bae Do-hyeon (Korea), 33 kills
2nd place – Shoichiro (Japan), 5 kills
3rd place – Ko Ga-ryang (China), 5 kills
…
Number of survivors: 97
‘Damn it. ‘Are you really a monster?’
Shoichiro nervously wiped the blood from his blade with his sleeve.
While Bae Do-hyun scored 2 kills against only one party, Bae Do-hyun scored a whopping 12 kills.
At least three parties. Shoichiro couldn’t understand how such a result was possible in just 10 minutes.
Ding dong ding dong~.
An extinction zone was being designated again.
The area that disappears once every ten minutes is a device that encourages players to frequently collide and fight.
However, in this preliminary round, the number of survivors was decreasing so steeply that one wondered if it was necessary.
‘It’s only been 20 minutes, but more than half have been eliminated.’
The situation took a strange turn when a guy named Bae Do-hyun went on a rampage.
‘5 kills… vague?’
Although the ranking was 2nd, there were nearly 20 players lined up with a 12 kill gap.
It is true that it has become difficult to overturn the number of kills as the number of survivors has decreased, but if you push too hard, you could end up in unexpected trouble.
First of all, increasing the number of kills was a sure way.
‘The guy who went out on reconnaissance should come back quickly.’
Fortunately, a guy named Kenta in the same party had special characteristics for reconnaissance.
It was natural that this side would have an advantage if they made a surprise attack first, so even if I was impatient, I had to wait for him to come back.
“I found Shoichiro!”
Just then, Kenta came back and spoke with a flushed expression.
“Why are you making such a fuss? …no way?”
“I found Bae Do-hyeon!”
“…!”
Shoichiro jumped up from his seat, putting his two daggers in their sheaths.
“where are you?”
It’s heavenly luck. I can’t believe I found it here before he found it here!
“We were fighting another party near the barracks two blocks away.”
“okay? How many people are in his party? “Have you been dragging more than one party with you?”
Shoichiro’s eyes sparkled as he thought he would finally be able to find the reason why the guy’s kill count went up like crazy.
“That…”
“Why? Are all the Koreans gathered together?”
“I was alone.”
“…what?”
“I looked around just in case, but there was no one else. And I clearly saw with my own eyes that he was fighting four people by himself.”
“…!”
Shoichiro seemed shocked and just blinked for a moment, unable to say anything.
‘Did you really get all those kills by yourself? No, that can’t be possible. No matter how high the level is, there’s no way there’s that much of a difference.’
‘Is it possible that the party that was watching over us was exhausted during the battle? Yeah, that’s very likely. But then why did you attack the four of them?’
Many thoughts were going through his mind, and his complicated feelings were clearly visible on his face.
“Tsk. I’ll have to check it with my own eyes first. Everyone get ready. “I attack him from behind before the battle is over.”
It didn’t matter what his secret was. As long as he’s alone and we find it first, the outcome won’t change.
Here, you defeat the guy and get the spotlight yourself.
‘I had a hard time accumulating 33 kills. But in the end, the public only remembers the final winner.’
Shoichiro had no doubts about his victory.
* * *
Grumble.
A bright red fireball flies in, burning the air.
A fireball the size of a child’s head was extremely threatening.
‘…is a piece of shit. ‘I sigh.’
Bae Do-hyeon stood in place as if he had no intention of dodging and stabbed the 3m long spear straight ahead.
Pirit.
The fireball that hit the spear blade shook for a moment. The air pushed out by the spear weakened the momentum of the fireball.
Crackle crackle.
However, the fireball did not disappear and was moving towards Bae Do-hyeon along the spear.
Buuuung.
At that time, Bae Do-hyeon’s spear rotated with fierce force. It was a small art performed by applying the rotating strikes of Rivera’s spear technique.
Food deuk peit.
However, that small feat seemed to be more than enough to extinguish the fireball.
‘Speed, power, and stability are all below the standard.’
Even if the monster was the opponent, it seemed difficult for the player to understand. But that was just Bae Do-hyun’s idea.
“How? “My ‘Fire Bomb’ that can send away even wolves in one blow!”
“Isn’t there anything more powerful?”
“Is there a greater technology than this?”
The shield warrior who had steadfastly protected the wizard even as two party members were killed in order to buy time for the wizard to cast a spell sighed.
“Fuck you. I’m a fool for expecting that. Master, take care of yourselves and survive. “Ugh!”
The shield warrior fearlessly charged towards Bae Do-hyeon with his shield in front of him as if he had no more regrets.
‘I’m holding a long weapon, a spear, so if I close the distance, I’ll have a chance at victory.’
Bang bang!
Every time the spear pierced the shield, there was a strong impact and his body stopped slightly, but he gritted his teeth and strengthened his legs.
Bae Do-hyeon was stepping back and throwing out his spear, but it was clearly because the distance was narrowing.
And finally, the eyes of the Shield Warrior, who had narrowed the gap to the point where the power of the thrust was almost gone, flashed.
‘Good.’ ‘Shield charge (shield charge) distance has been secured!’
He kicked the ground just in time for Raoul to retrieve the spear and activated the ‘Shield Charge’ skill in his mind.
Faaah!
His body hit the ground with such force that his footprints dug into the ground and flew towards Bae Do-hyeon with his shield in front of him.
‘Smile?’
In that split second, the shield warrior was able to see that the corners of Bae Do-hyeon’s mouth slightly turned up. and.
Twisted! Craddangtang!
The Shield Warrior fell to the ground, feeling dizzy as the earth and sky went back and forth.
“It was a good play. “Next time, you might want to pay closer attention to your opponent’s hand movements when he retrieves his weapon.”
Bae Do-hyeon pulled out the spear that was stuck deep in the ground and plunged it into the shield warrior’s chest.
‘Charge skills can be difficult if an obstacle arises in front of you.’
Bae Do-hyeon pretended to retrieve the spear, and the moment the shield warrior activated the charge, Bae Do-hyeon plunged the spear blade into the ground in front of him and raised the spear holder.
The shield was caught by the pole of the spear and lost its balance, and when Raoul slightly twisted the pole of the spear, it rolled down on the floor along with its owner.
‘The window holder is a little damaged. No matter how much I tried to block it, there was nothing I could do since it blocked the shield charge.’
Bae Do-hyeon put the weak, bent spear in his inventory, took out his crossbow, and fired lightly.
Push puk puk!
“Ugh!”
The wizard player, who left the shield warrior and ran away in a huff, was pierced through the heart by a crossbow and fell to the floor.
I wanted to finish off the wizard with a spear, but I didn’t hesitate because I had to accept the next customer.
‘The timing is good.’
Bae Do-hyeon, who sensed a rat-like presence at the start of the battle, deliberately took some time.
It was good to go looking for it yourself, but it was also welcome for enemies to come looking for it.
‘Oh, these guys are more serious than I thought?’
They were approaching from four directions, north, south, east, west, and surrounding Bae Do-hyeon as if surrounded.
The decision to deliberately select an empty lot between the barracks buildings as the battlefield to make it easier for them to visit seemed to have worked well.
Startle.
But suddenly Bae Do-hyeon’s expression hardened slightly.
‘What is this familiar figure?’
I could feel a doll walking with a peculiar rhythm on the roof of the barracks.
The Japanese player who made a fuss and made a fuss, saying that he would kill anyone even when he could just walk, was stuck in my mind.
‘It’s you, Shoichiro!’
A bright smile appeared on Bae Do-hyun’s face. But emotions that could not be hidden were swirling in those black eyes.
‘I can’t be like this when I’m welcoming an old friend.’
Bae Do-hyeon’s figure disappeared on the spot like a shadow.
* * *
Push. dump.
From a distance, I saw a wizard falling down with his back pierced by a crossbow bolt.
‘Damn, am I a little late?’
Shoichiro clicked his tongue slightly in disappointment. But the situation was still not bad.
This is because the location of the guy was roughly known, and the team members were surrounding it and gradually closing the distance.
In Shoichiro’s hand was a crossbow of a unique shape.
Unlike regular crossbows that had to be reloaded after firing one shot, it was a three-shot crossbow that could be loaded with three shots in advance.
It was a very expensive item, but he brought it with him for this tournament as Japanese players raised money to develop it and purchased it for public use.
‘No matter how great he is, he won’t be able to block all the long-distance attacks.’
In the first place, he wasn’t thinking about a head-on confrontation.
Is there any reason to take risks and engage in close combat?
The 5 kills I’ve gotten so far were obtained in a certain way by wounding the enemies with a ranged weapon and then finishing them off.
Even if it was Bae Do-hyeon, it wasn’t much different.
Already surrounded on all sides, he was rolling awkwardly on the ground to avoid arrows and bolts, and it was clear that he would be finished off by his short sword.
Sreuk sreuk.
Today, I felt like I was using the unique weapon ‘Ninbo (忍步)’ more easily. It’s a pity that I couldn’t get the main weapon ‘Shuriken’, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make it myself after gaining gold and reputation.
‘I will establish a new banner of nin within this connect.’
Shoichiro reached the edge of the barracks roof with such useless delusions.
Now, if you stick your head out a little, you will see him.
After catching his breath, Shoichiro made eye contact with his teammates on another roof and quickly aimed his repeating crossbow toward the clearing.
however.
‘…doesn’t exist?’
A strange feeling of anxiety gripped Shoichiro.
