Chapter 32: Massacre
“…!”
The encounter with the next enemy happened almost imdiately.
Perhaps they were in the sa team as the guard killed earlier, he faced a guard who had been approaching from not far away.
He discovered Baek Woohyun and imdiately raised his gun, but couldn’t pull the trigger. Because before that, the chain scythe Baek Woohyun threw had already pierced his brow.
The scythe attached to the chain end made a kwadeuk! sound and rcilessly penetrated the guard’s skull.
As a result, it was the sa as the guard dying without any reaction.
However, it was difficult to say this was the guard’s fault.
Generally, whips are the only cold weapons that can break the speed of sound, and since chain scythes also inherited that form partially, the speed displayed when swung was trendously fast.
Of course, since it had the form of a scythe attached to the chain end, the attack speed had no choice but to be slower than ordinary whips, but as long as it was in Baek Woohyun’s hands, that wasn’t much of a problem.
Because a chain scythe swung with superhuman strength could easily make up for that much loss.
Therefore, responding to this for a guard who was rely an ordinary human was rather close to impossible.
It was rely an unstoppable disaster.
‘Good.’
Thud!
Baek Woohyun, who retrieved the chain scythe, imdiately kicked the ground and leaped up.
Not toward the front, but up a tree beside him.
Having climbed onto a sturdy branch with a single leap, he used the recoil to leap straight across to another tree.
He was demonstrating one of the thods Cha Seongcheol, who had been watching in the broadcast earlier, had ntioned.
However, the purpose of crossing above trees was different.
After crossing above trees a few tis, as soon as an enemy appeared in his view, he pounced as if he’d been waiting.
Without any hesitation.
Slash!
A raid like a hawk snatching prey!
The guard who received an unexpected attack had his neck beheaded without any resistance. Not an exaggeration, but truly the neck and torso separated.
It happened because it contained all the force stabbing down diagonally from above.
“…! What?!” “E-enemy!”
Was it because they witnessed the scene of their comrade being beheaded before their eyes?
The response of the two guards behind was slow.
Surprised, shouting. Truly stupid, wasn’t it?
In combat where even a second was precious, that was no different from a request to be killed.
Naturally, Baek Woohyun wasn’t one to miss such an opening.
Before the headless corpse even fell, he pounced on the next enemy and terribly simply cut off their breath.
The process accomplished so naturally it seed like sothing that must be done. Like a farr harvesting crops during harvest season.
Well, the only difference was whether harvesting crops or harvesting lives, but since both were reaping, it was understandable.
“Die!”
Ratatatat!
Only then did the other guard pull the trigger, but unfortunately for him, that didn’t an he could hit Baek Woohyun.
The danger Baek Woohyun wanted to avoid was a firing network ford by dozens of enemies, not one person’s spray. That much was entirely surmountable.
Just like right now.
Thud!
“Keu-heuk!”
Like in the research facility, Baek Woohyun ran avoiding the gun barrel and stabbed a dagger into the enemy’s heart.
At the sensation of cold tal digging into his body, the guard let out a pain-filled scream, but Baek Woohyun felt not even a bit of pity.
Rather, he twisted the military dagger with a coldly hardened face. An expression of will to forcibly widen the wound by probing it, to definitely kill him.
Because he knew the guards’ evil deeds better than anyone.
These were beasts with no value to live…
“—…”
The guard’s body, which had been trembling under the cold gaze of the reaper, soon went limp.
The ti it took to get here was rely dozens of seconds.
It was surprisingly short to be considered ti taken to annihilate one team consisting of three people.
No exaggeration to say it was a result ordinary players couldn’t even dare imagine.
This was close to a difference in combat style rather than simply other players’ abilities being insufficient—though this was also a reason occupying large weight.
Because generally powerful supernatural ability skills had long cooldowns attached, other players had to buy that ti after killing one person.
By buying ti while keeping them in check with weaker supernatural ability skills, running away appropriately, shooting guns, etc.
Then killing enemies with powerful supernatural ability skills when cooldown finished was the typical player’s combat style.
Therefore, they couldn’t show refreshing developnt like Baek Woohyun now even if they wanted to.
At least the small minority of players who invested in physical abilities instead of supernatural abilities might have possibility… but possibility was rely possibility.
Considering even the fact that now was the very early stage with only one Core Elent, it was rather correct to say the combat speed Baek Woohyun showed was endlessly alien.
Slash!
“Geu-ak!” “Damn it!” “Shoot! Shoot!”
After that too, Baek Woohyun road freely through the forest eliminating guards.
Enemies who sward after hearing gunfire following the first roar died as soon as they encountered Baek Woohyun. aninglessly, rely consuming a few dozen seconds of his ti.
It seed like the forest had beco a giant antlion pit.
At that, a terrible antlion pit with the terrifyingly formidable antlion called Baek Woohyun, from which one could never escape alive.
She’d bet this antlion pit would absolutely never disappear until all enemies in the forest died.
Because none other than Baek Woohyun decided so.
***
“Wow-”
“Heo.”
-Holy shit;
-Wtf lololol what is that lololol
-Where did the RePla I knew go
-Sothing… sothing’s happening…
Seeing Baek Woohyun in the video charge like lightning eliminating guards, Cha Seongcheol and Jeong Nayeon exclaid in admiration.
Viewers’ admiration was the sa. Watching chat going up at fast speed, the excitent they must be feeling was vividly conveyed.
That made sense, because no ‘Reverse Planet’ broadcast showed refreshing massacre from early stages like Baek Woohyun now.
As ntioned earlier, that was both lack of ability and also a result from difference in combat style.
But anyway, Baek Woohyun’s massacre certainly seed to approach Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol, and viewers very attractively.
-He just calls them all without hesitation ????
-When botherso to search around, make enemies co. That’s common sense, right?
-Not dying after that is ???? legendary lol
-Reflecting on thinking he’d only kill encountered enemies
“I also thought he’d just search around killing. I didn’t know he’d just shout out loud to gather all aggro.”
“Who could have imagined? Haha.”
-????lol
-Thought he was crazy seeing him suddenly shout
-Was doing sothing else and ca surprised lol
- too lololol
As Cha Seongcheol said, nobody watching Baek Woohyun had thought he’d deliberately gather all enemies to kill.
At most they predicted he’d move avoiding combat, or only kill those encountered.
At least after seeing Baek Woohyun’s expression, Jeong Nayeon presented the possibility of killing all, but that was a story of killing while searching around.
It didn’t an ignoring danger to call and kill them.
In that sense, Baek Woohyun’s play was extrely alien. No exaggeration to say it was violence achieved by pushing with literally absurd physicality.
But simultaneously, that was also the scene viewers wanted to see. Because it was combat befitting Hackphysical’s na, destroying even common sense.
Like during the tutorial that could be called their first eting, and during the clarification broadcast.

[Isn’t Perfect Being too broken? Seeing it so strong from early on is absurd;;]
“No, that’s not so.”
At the viewer’s donation, Cha Seongcheol shook his head.
It was a denial he could show because he knew research content actively conducted on [Perfect Being] and conclusions reached to so degree.
He recalled with bitter smile the evaluation many builders made unanimously about [Perfect Being].
‘Rather than use this, just use supernatural abilities— was it.’
“Of course, if he used supernatural abilities he couldn’t show massacre like now, so it feels broken. Seems worth giving up supernatural abilities as penalty.”
“Certainly… that’s right. Watching Hackphysical now makes
wonder if supernatural abilities are really necessary.”
-???? it’s a broken elent, why not include it?
-With just that he can chew everything up lol
-Builders said to absolutely never include [Perfect Being]
-Ah it’s Hackphysical’s build~ what do you know~
“But you should know, for that you must be able to face enemies ard with guns with only enhanced physical abilities alone, and multiple at that.”
Cha Seongcheol added that Baek Woohyun’s greatness was rather covered by the word ‘physicality.’
Because it’s a ga, it was lumped together with one word ‘physicality,’ but the more closely examined, the more one learns that Hackphysical is a monster.
“The massacre Hackphysical shows is a result created because all combat performance abilities including weapon handling techniques are superior. Not created with just one Core Elent. Moreover.”
Cha Seongcheol, who lightly raised attention, continued.
“There’s one more point not to forget, that Hackphysical is currently in no-assist state.”
“Ah, right! That’s so!”
-Thinking about it, that’s right
-I can’t fight well even with assist fuck
-Since there’s no assist at all, [Perfect Being]’s effect is better too, I just realized
-Builders didn’t say not to use it for nothing
Combat assistance, a system providing overall combat help like posture correction and motion assistance, supernatural ability usage assistance.
Just hearing the explanation, not using it seems more foolish.
But lowering assistance numbers wasn’t unconditionally bad. If so, pros wouldn’t have struggled sohow to lower assistance numbers.
When combat assistance numbers are low, instead of receiving system help, players gain freedom and power.
What this ans is, the lower assistance gets, the more one can handle not supernatural ability skills but genuine supernatural abilities, and their power also increases.
In fact, supernatural ability skills like [Fireball] or [Wind Blade] may sound good as supernatural ability skills, but ultimately doesn’t it an being able to use supernatural abilities only in that skill’s form?
If assistance numbers are low, one could be free from such constraints.
Using fire-handling supernatural ability with low assistance ans being able to make swords, spears, or create spheres to explode. At that, with even stronger power.
Of course, having to execute all that relying only on one’s senses, while simultaneously directly moving the body to fight, combat difficulty would be trendously high, but anyway one gained freedom and power.
‘MilitaryOtakuSavesWorld’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[Sad hack story) Fighting like that with no-assist ans being able to do that in reality too]
-Gasp!
-What;
-Gasp
-What does that an, military otaku
“Well… it’s not wrong. Since he’s fighting like that without system help…”
-Forr special forces mber?
-If I t him in reality I’d imdiately bow lol
-No wonder he beat the boss suspiciously well during tutorial
-Ahem, no speculation!
‘What’s with forr special forces mber.’
Seeing the murmuring chat window, Jeong Nayeon chuckled. She knew Baek Woohyun wasn’t such a person, but didn’t particularly step forward to clarify.
Not only was there no reason to intervene while they argued among themselves, but she didn’t know how these stories might accumulate and return as so
soday.
There probably wasn’t anyone who’d really believe that anyway.
As even she closed her mouth like that, viewers spouted identity-unknown nonsense.
But that didn’t last very long, because after Baek Woohyun in the video conducted massacre at almost ti attack level, he finally dealt with all enemies.
It was exactly as Jeong Nayeon’s initial prediction, while simultaneously a result far exceeding prediction.
