The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 116
Episode 116
Shhhhh.
“Ahh!”
A Japanese player collapsed with an arrow piercing his thigh.
“Where are you?”
Shoichiro hurriedly looked in the direction where the arrow had come from, but there was no trace left.
‘In the barracks?’
The three-story barracks had small windows at regular intervals on each floor.
The arrow appeared to have been fired from one of the windows.
Shoichiro hurriedly sent a hand signal to the player on the roof of the barracks.
‘Check inside.’
The player who received the instructions nodded and carefully approached the third-floor window connected to the roof, while Shoichiro and Kenta, who were on the buildings on either side, climbed the roof and moved to secure the building’s blind spot.
Meanwhile, the Japanese player who was hit by the arrow was clenching his teeth and using a cloth to stop the bleeding in his thigh.
Shook puk!
“evil!”
Another arrow pierced my shoulder.
He groaned and wriggled on the floor, as if he could not remain unharmed even after having two arrows stuck in his body.
“It’s the second floor!”
This time, Shoichiro, who clearly confirmed where the arrow was fired, shouted, and a Japanese player entered the barracks through the third floor window with a sword drawn.
“Kenta! You keep it in check from the outside!”
Shoichiro jumped down the building with his signature steps and ran toward the entrance of the building where Bae Do-hyeon was believed to be hiding.
‘Damn, the plan went awry.’
It was obvious that he had sensed they were coming. So he must have taken refuge inside the building.
Honestly, since the long-distance interception operation went wrong, it might have been better to retreat and make another plan. It has been like that until now.
However, in a situation where one of your colleagues is attacked and you outnumber them, you retreat? It wasn’t an easy choice.
‘If only it hadn’t been broadcast…’
There was no point in regretting it now.
Anyway, since it was like this, all I had to do was get rid of him cleanly.
The three-shot crossbow he was holding was actually more powerful indoors. The colleague who just entered is quite good with a sword, so while he is taking his time, you can kill Bae Do-hyeon with a crossbow.
Thinking like that, Shoichiro quickly entered the barracks and ran up to the second floor.
Come on.
“this guy!”
Shoichiro’s expression turned blank as he aimed the crossbow in the direction of the sound. The only Japanese player in the same party was on the other side of the hallway.
“What about him?”
“I couldn’t find it.”
“damn. Look back from the 3rd floor. “I’ll search the first floor.”
As we were dividing our roles and turning around, a terrible scream was heard outside the window.
“Ahh!”
I hurriedly looked out the window and saw Kenta screaming with arrows stuck in the back of his hand and calf.
‘What the fuck happened?’
When I looked at Kenta, I saw that an arrow was flying from behind him. When on earth did you go there?
Shoichiro frowned, feeling like he was being completely played by the guy, and looked outside with the one remaining team member, using the wall as a shield.
However, the hinged wooden windows greatly blocked the view.
‘Where the fuck am I?’
The moment I slightly put my head out and looked at the building on the other side.
Shaeak puk!
An arrow passed Shoichiro’s ear, made a mark on the wall, and bounced off.
‘Fuck you.’
Cold sweat ran down Shoichiro’s back.
There were more people here and we scouted first, so what kind of situation is this now?
Isn’t this how they are falling into a trap and struggling?
And if you think about where he hit Kenta and his teammates with arrows, he was truly vicious.
Hands and feet that are not life-threatening, but cannot continue fighting.
He was explicitly asking if he was going to run away and abandon his injured colleague.
‘Honestly, I don’t care what happens to their lives…’
As expected, the real-time broadcast was holding me back.
If you act cowardly by abandoning your colleagues and running away, it’s not just the academy that’s the problem, you’ll get a lot of criticism in real life as well.
Now that things were like this, it was necessary to change the strategy. Shoichiro quickly shook his head and shouted loudly.
“Bae Do-hyeon, you cowardly bastard! “Let’s fight fair and square instead of hiding in shameful ways and shooting arrows!”
Since we couldn’t figure out its location anyway, it would only look unsightly if it stayed hidden like this. A head-to-head confrontation seemed to have a higher chance of winning.
But what came back was not an answer, but another scream.
“Kaaak!”
Whirling.
I hurriedly aimed my crossbow in the direction of the sound, but there was no sign of him.
All that remained there was the image of a colleague struggling with a wound stuck in the middle of his back.
“Sho Shoichiro! help.”
He was in pain and squirming, trying to reach his out-of-reach back, but Shoichiro couldn’t bring himself to reach out and help him.
‘It looks like a trap just by looking at it!’
It was obvious that the moment he went to remove the secretion and treat it, the guy would target him.
Shoichiro had no choice but to go on without being able to do this or that.
“Sho Shoichiro. “Please…”
The colleague in front of me was pleadingly begging.
“Ahh! help me!”
“Wow.”
Outside the window, the two colleagues who had been hit by arrows in different places were screaming.
‘What the fuck is this?’
Shoichiro, unable to bear the unexpected and miserable situation, ignored his colleague’s gaze and shouted, blood rising in his neck.
“Hey you bastard! Stop playing dirty like this and come out now! “Come out you bastard!!”
* * *
“That’s terrible. why me?”
Bae Do-hyeon, who was watching Shoichiro go crazy on his own from afar, smiled.
It was a strange laugh that seemed evil in some ways and refreshing in some ways.
In his previous life, Shoichiro was like a cockroach who interfered with Bae Do-hyun at every turn.
He was the leader of the giant Japanese guild ‘Rakuen (Paradise)’ and was a kind of otaku who was obsessed with ‘ninja’ long before the advent of Connect.
The problem is that the otaku is backed by right-wing forces and has a pretty good assimilation rate.
And surprisingly, he created something absurd, a real ‘ninja’ unit, within Connect.
As a member of a large guild alliance, Shoichiro led the counterfeit ninja unit he had created and went to the forefront of the solo ranker hunt.
Aside from his skills, he and the ninja unit used all their dirty and cruel methods to harass rankers who did not belong to the guild.
Secret attacks, poisoning attempts, and interference with hunting were basic, and they even committed terrorism using NPCs without hesitation.
In particular, kidnapping quest-related NPCs and trapping rankers was their trademark.
Bae Do-hyeon also had his quests aborted due to their actions on more than one occasion.
The important thing was that they never showed themselves in public.
He was always using someone or plotting things behind the scenes, and even if the ranker fell into a trap, he would only annoy them by shooting from afar or using bombs, etc., and would never attack them head on.
Even if we chased after him with all our might, we could only catch a few small children, but we couldn’t even find the ones who could be called the masterminds.
So they called themselves ninjas, but players used to call them ‘cockroaches’.
‘So, this time, you’re the one to suffer. Feel the feeling of drying up and dying without even seeing the other person. ‘The feeling of helplessness of not being able to do anything.’
An eye for an eye.
I was planning to return it as I received it.
He hasn’t done anything wrong to him in this life yet. But in his past life, those guys didn’t attack him for a good reason.
Perhaps that is why Bae Do-hyeon did not feel the slightest hesitation in attacking Shoichiro. On the contrary, it felt like a pity that he had no memories of his past life.
‘Then shall we organize it little by little?’
Today wasn’t the only day. As long as he continues to access Connect, Bae Do-hyun’s revenge will continue. In the future too.
Bae Do-hyeon threw a rain sword from the roof of the barracks where Shoichiro was hiding towards the second floor window.
Although it was in a position where there was no angle at all, it was not that difficult to change the direction of the light beam using telekinesis.
Blood shot!
“evil! This is a cub! where are you! “Where are you?”
The rain grazed Shoichiro’s shoulder and blood spurted out.
While Shoichiro was convulsing and aiming his crossbow at the window, Bae Do-hyeon used his telekinesis to land in the air in front of the window on the other side and fired an arrow.
Deep.
“Ahh!”
This time an arrow got stuck in his thigh.
Shoichiro lost his balance and fell to the floor, and another flying bullet hit his forearm.
“Ouch, you dirty bastard. “Next time we meet, hold your hand in my hand.”
Shoichiro, who dropped his crossbow and drew his sword, teased his mouth until the end, but that was all.
This is because a crossbow bolt flew with such force from the end of the hallway that it completely pierced his head.
Plop plop.
Bae Do-hyeon, who had finished cleaning up the remaining Japanese players who were still alive and groaning, finally appeared in front of the dead Shoichiro with his eyes wide open.
“See you again, buddy.”
Bae Do-hyeon, who retrieved Bido, lightly turned around and left the place. The smile on his face looked so refreshing.
Bae Do-hyun’s kill count now stands at 41. The number of remaining survivors was 85.
‘Now it’s time for District 1 to open.’
Bae Do-hyeon’s gaze was directed beyond the window to the large castle gate of the inner castle, which was tightly closed.
* * *
“Don’t miss out!”
“Keep chasing it!”
Piung.
An arrow passed by her ear.
“Huh huh huh.”
Seohyun tried to ignore her heart that felt like it was going to explode and ran blindly down the alley.
“Ahh! “What a fucking piece of shit!”
“Be careful, you still have energy left!”
Her pet, Eunbyeol, was running around behind her, trying to buy as much time as possible, but it was only a matter of time before she was caught.
That’s because they were a group of over 10 Chinese people.
‘How did this happen?’
Even before the exam started, I was a little confident.
She had the rare trait of being a phantom beast summoner, and although she was not an athlete, the archery club activities she had participated in until middle school were a great help to her in handling the bow.
It was not strange to expect that with her summoned companion, Eunbyeol, she would be able to achieve good grades even if it was difficult to pass the exam.
But in the end, I ended up being chased like this.
The same team members who were vigorously pushing their opinions only realized the seriousness of the situation after the real-time rankings were announced.
They belatedly left the hideout saying they needed to increase their kill count, ignoring Seohyun’s opinion that no matter how urgent they were, they had to scout properly and move.
Fortunately, they were not fools, so they were moving along the alley while hiding, when two players with obviously poor equipment appeared in front of them.
Sure enough, the team members cast Dakdol (shut up and charge) without hesitation and were properly caught in the ambush.
However, contrary to appearances, the two players were talented armed with solid defensive skills.
Thanks to this, as time passed, as many as 12 Chinese players from three parties approached them, surrounding them.
Seohyun, who had an excellent scout pet named Eunbyul, noticed this in advance and was able to escape just before the siege was formed, and has continued to escape until now, somehow using terrain features.
But that too is now close to its limit. Not only because she was exhausted, but also because the Chinese players who had wiped out her teammates were relentlessly pursuing her and pushing her in a certain direction.
‘Inner Gate of District 1….’
Before we knew it, a large castle gate began to appear a little distance away. Since it was an area that had not yet been opened, there was no place to run if we were to be cornered there.
She mustered up her last remaining strength, remembering the four golden falcon statues that Eunbyeol had given her.
‘Now the only thing I can trust is what that man says.’
Bae Do-hyeon’s words to come to District 1 if the situation was not favorable or if you collected four statues lingered in my mind.
District 1 wasn’t open yet, but she had no other options.
‘please…!’
Before I knew it, the castle gate was getting closer in front of me.
