Chapter 8
As soon as he resurrected, the wizard, Kim Gyuhyuk, who was once again thrown out of the tower by Seong Jihan, activated a protective shield spell without hesitation.
“Shield!”
This Support seems strong, but at the end of the day, he’s just a Support!’ Kim Gyuhyuk believed in his magic. He was level 15, after all.
However, the reason he was summoned for this ga was entirely due to his continuous mischief and causing losing gas, resulting in a lower matching level.
“This bastard! I’ll definitely kill him!”
With his shield still active, he began to cast a fireball.
“Fire…”
But just as he attempted to turn Seong Jihan into a roasted skewer, Seong Jihan’s hand brushed against the semi-transparent shield, instantly shattering the protective barrier like an eggshell.
“huh…?!”
“If you die again, you’ll be left with only one life.”
Seong Jihan smirked, grabbing Kim Gyuhyuk’s collar as he stared in astonishnt.
“Hold on…”
“Off you go.”
Whoosh.
Once again, the Mage’s body soared through the air and plumted down beneath the tower.
“Aaargh!”
The zombies, eager to get a al once more, cheered in gratitude as they leaped toward the plumting mage.
Crunch! Crunch!
The unpleasant sounds echoed again.
And as those sounds subsided…
Flash.
For the final resurrection, Kim Gyuhyuk shouted as if in a fit.
“Wait, wait! Just a mont!”
Dying like this would solidify his last place standing.
Kim Gyuhyuk shivered.
“The last place penalty… It’s too harsh!”
He had thought that if he caused trouble, soone on the other side would give in or soone would intervene to end the match.
He never expected to be thrown by this guy like this.
“If my level drops again here…”
The Battle Net system lowered levels for poor performance in-ga. If his level dropped due to defeat, the attributes gained during level-up would vanish.
Of course, losing so stats wasn’t a big deal; he could regain them by leveling up again. But the issue was with his skills.
“My Skills will disappear!”
The problem was that skills disappeared. Learning skills was more challenging than gaining stats through level-ups, making the deletion penalty more lenient than for attributes.
As a result, a skill would only disappear if the level drop was at least 5 levels below the minimum required level for acquiring that skill.
But the problem for Kim Gyuhyuk was this:
“If I die again now… It’s a guaranteed deletion.”
If he died one more ti, his resurrection opportunities would vanish. Being declared the first casualty in this defense ga ant he would experience a level-down.
So, his level would beco 14, and the skill he had spent a considerable amount to learn from the Battle Net market at level 20 would also be lost.
“This bastard. I’ll get back to him later.”
While internally vowing that, Kim Gyuhyuk seed to be willing to surrender…
“Alright. I understand that you are strong! You don’t even need to apologize to ! I’ll participate in the ga faithfully from now on.”
“…”
“I’m at level 15. Moreover, I’m the fire mage, which is most useful for this map. I’ll carry you properly.”
“Oh! You’ve thought well!”
The archer, who had been anxiously observing their dispute, beca flustered. Kim Gyuhyuk, famous for being one of the top three trolls in Gangnam, had actually given in first. Things were going smoother than expected.
“…The person who participated in the Silver Promotion Match is at level 15?”
Lim Gayeong was also surprised by Kim Gyuhyuk revealing his level, but seeing that the troublemaker had conceded first, she believed the ga would now proceed as intended.
“Is that all?”
Until Seong Jihan extended his hand again after quietly listening.
“…Huh?”
With a swift motion, Seong Jihan once again grabbed Kim Gyuhyuk’s collar.
“Hey, you said ‘you don’t even need to apologize.’ Anyone would think I started the argunt.”
“Just wait a mont…!”
“Next ti, have so manners.”
Swish!
Along with Kim Gyuhyuk’s cries, he plumted beneath the tower.
“Ah…”
The archer reached out into the air with a helpless expression, but by that point, it was far too late to catch him.
Squelch!
[Mage class ‘Kim Gyuhyuk’ has fallen.]
[Kim Gyuhyuk has been eliminated from the ga.]
In a defense map that was supposed to be played by a 4-mber party…
The mage had vanished.
* * *
A chilly silence hung in the air.
“The trash has been cleared.”
However, Seong Jihan paid no attention to it. He stared at the quest achievent window that had appeared after entering the ’10 Towers’ defense map.
[Limited Quest]
– Achieve 1st place in ’10 Towers.’
[Reward: 1,000 Achievent Points]
It was a quest to achieve 1st place just like during the tutorial, and the reward was the sa as back then.
“I was kind of expecting this.”
Seong Jihan gazed at another quest window that glimred with a golden light beneath the limited quest.
The content was sothing that wasn’t there during the tutorial.
[Linked Quest – Origin of Zombies (1)]
– Single-handedly defeat 1,000 zombies.
[Reward: 3,000 Achievent Points]
-When cleared, the quest continues with Origin of Zombies (2).
“Defeat 1,000 zombies alone?”
Seong Jihan furrowed his brow. This was… an impossible mission. While zombies weren’t a threat to him.
“The ga could end before I finish killing them all.”
The 10 Towers. If 5 out of the 10 towers collapsed, the ga would imdiately end. This essentially ant that other players in different towers needed to hold out until Seong Jihan managed to eliminate all the zombies.
