Before Xiaotings eyes appeared none other than Jinhyuk.
Kang Jinhyuk.
Xiaotings voice trembled thinly.
How could she not recognize him?
Currently in China, no, he was the person attracting the most attention in the whole world.
Yet, Xiaotings surprise was not solely because Jinhyuk was an extraordinary player.
The leaders of the Zhonghua Guild have fled and hes offering to help us?
It was incomprehensible.
What could possibly drive soone from another country, who is practically an enemy, to rescue them?
What on earth
Questions chased more questions, but in truth, the reasons were of no consequence to her.
What mattered now
Was that soone had appeared to save them in this desperate situation.
Its Kang Jinhyuk!
Its really him. For real!
How did a ranker from Korea get here?
Can we survive this?
The onlookers swallowed their dry spit.
When Chinas elites had been helplessly shredded, they had had no choice but to give up on life.
Players who had always been seen triumphing with pride on TV, the very pillars of Zhonghua, died without being able to put up a proper fight.
Thus, they were certain they would et the sa fate.
But then.
At that mont.
Sothing unexpected happened.
Luckily, Im not too late.
Teresa exhaled softly.
The light that descended through Blessing of the Stars enveloped the wounded. The injuries began to heal slowly but surely.
Flesh nded and bones found their place.
Having dealt with the crisis, Teresa glanced at Black Scorpion.
She had briefly managed to immobilize him using two swords, but she hadnt inflicted a fatal wound.
He was struggling to escape from the ice pillars right now.
This is dangerous
Judging by the speed at which the ice shards were breaking apart, there wasnt much ti left.
A few minutes at most.
Afterwards, the first despair would start rampaging again.
Moreover.
Teresas gaze now moved towards the storm clouds.
It wasnt just Black Scorpion surging through the thunderstorm.
Kukukukuku!
The airflow distorting, fissures erupted in the sky.
Overwhelming magical power.
If the third despair were to fully manifest, she couldnt even imagine how dire the situation would beco.
In the tomb our powers were suppressed.
It would have been dangerous if the tomb had collapsed due to the full release of power.
However.
Now, theres no need for such caution.
To them, this event was not about protection but retribution.
Listening to Jinhyuks calm words, Teresa carefully opened her mouth, her voice shaking.
Arent you afraid, Mr. Jinhyuk?
Victory had always been his, but the path was like walking a tightrope.
One mistake, one lapse, could cost him his life.
Yet.
How could he possibly remain so composed?
Instead of answering, Jinhyuk just smiled lightly.
He must be worried.
Even monkeys could fall from trees. No matter how promising one might be, theres no rule saying they cannot make mistakes.
But.
For a true veteran of the ga
For a player who has seen the summit of a tower everyone else has failed to climb.
Not making a single mistake is the rule.
Please take care of those behind you. With you, Ms. Teresa, they can be protected from collateral damage due to the battle.
Having finished speaking, Jinhyuk pulled out two swords from his dinsional inventory.
[Unique Ability Sword Grave is activated!]
Dark flas surged around the fang he held in his left hand.
[Unique Ability Mandala blooms.]
Golden mist flickered around the twin dragon sword in his right hand.
At that mont.
Kieeee!
The Black Scorpion, trapped in ice, broke free.
The black exoskeleton and the flashing red eyes stood out vividly.
Fuming with murderous intent, it clearly was incensed.
Kwaang!
In an instant, Black Scorpion closed the distance, uncharacteristic for its size, as it targeted Jinhyuk with its tail.
An attack too fast for nurous players to react to.
The stinger, moving as if ignoring mass, punctured diagonally through the air.
Be careful!
Dangerous!
Teresa and Xiaoting scread involuntarily.
But.
They were all misunderstanding one thing.
Its undeniable that despair is strong, but.
Theres always sothing greater.
Kwadeuk!
Puck!
A pair of swords moved too lightly.
Or rather, it seed they might have moved, judging only from the outco.
As Jinhyuks hands made a subtle motion, blood soon spurted from both sides of Black Scorpions exoskeleton.
Kiee
There was no anguished scream, no furious thrashing from the wound inflicted.
Black Scorpions body swayed greatly.
That was the end.
Black Scorpion crashed through the windowpane into the building.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Falling debris completely engulfed Black Scorpions body.
[The first despair has been extinguished.]
Amidst the unbelievable spectacle, silence lingered for several seconds.
All the spectators stood frozen.
He, he took it down with one blow?
Xiaoting stuttered in shock, almost biting her tongue.
It was well-known that the opponent was strong.
But this level was inconceivable.
How high the level, how special the ability, it was beyond imagination.
Teresa was just as flustered.
She thought she knew Jinhyuk better than anyone present,
But this This simply didnt feel real.
The more I see, the more amazing he is.
She suddenly recalled their first eting.
When he had asked her to trust him no matter what ca their way.
Once again, I worried over nothing.
A faint smile appeared on Teresas lips.
Once again, she assured herself.
No matter how hopeless the enemy faced, there was a player she could trust and follow.
A comrade who would stand firm in any situation.
Right there, before her eyes.
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased!]
[You have acquired the title Challenger of Despair.]
[Challenger of Despair]
Acquisition Difficulty: Imasurable
Effect: When facing the Three Great Despairs, all stats are increased by 10%. However, the effects of this title will disappear once all three despairs are defeated.
A whole 4 levels.
Considering that he was in his level 50s, this experience gain was unreal.
Definitely sothing worthwhile.
Jinhyuk nodded in satisfaction.
The manifestations of the despairs did indeed release various restrictions, but there was also a cost that ca with it.
With greater strength also co vulnerabilities.
Equivalent Exchange.
In the Tower of Trials, its impossible to gain only benefits. To acquire sothing, an equal price must be paid.
In this case, it was the appearance of fatal vulnerabilities that counted as paynt.
2.7cm to the left of the heart, and 3.3cm below where the lungs were situated.
These were Black Scorpions weak points.
But even knowing them, delivering a precise attack with the correct force and angle was needed for it to be effective, so success wasnt guaranteed even with the knowledge.
Just one person.
Except for .
At that mont,
Multiple status windows appeared before Jinhyuk.
[Several factions are extrely excited.]
[The massive faction Empire expresses admiration for your heroism.]
[You have gained 10,000 points in public credit.]
[The Elental Realm bestows 3,000 points in public credit.]
[The goodwill towards you has risen to a very high level.]
Yes.
This was it.
Crossing over to China and bridging a dangerous gap was not only about leveling up but also about attracting the attention of the factions.
After all, in the Faction Selection War, the most important point was accumulating public credit.
To the factions that value honor, the existence of a hero was a temptation too hard to resist.
Titles may or may not be given, but luck seems to be on my side this ti.
The second despair might be manageable, but the third Black Sphere was quite tricky to deal with,
With its speed and destructive power.
If taken lightly, it could pierce one full of holes.
However, the presence of the title allowed for a more favorable design of battle.
Now, just one more issue needs to be resolved.
Jinhyuk glanced briefly at Teresa.
To achieve the goal of bringing Teresa instead of Elise or Cheon Yuseong
There was still one more issue to deal with.
The situation needs to be carefully orchestrated
But as Jinhyuk pondered that very mont,
Kwaang!
Kwaang!
With a loud noise, green vines burst from the ground.
Cars hit squarely by the vines shot up into the sky.
The second despair had made its appearance.
Sure got impatient.
Jinhyuk quickly leaped away to get so distance.
Wherever he set foot, huge craters ford continuously.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
As the storm of green waves surged, an individual darted smoothly through it.
Thus, a dangerous ga of tag, caught yet uncaught, continued.
The one growing increasingly impatient as ti dragged on was the gigantic carnivorous plant.
Kieeeeek!
Between the shattered ground, a mouth filled with hundreds of teeth erged.
[The second despair Yantaman activates Seismic Detection!]
That was exactly why this creature was troubleso.
Not only could it sense the slightest tremor on the ground to pinpoint its target, but it could also send shockwaves to that exact location. Its offense and defense could only be described as flawless.
Is this where the real ga begins?
Jinhyuks movents quickened further.
As the vines beca quicker and more accurate, he had to adapt his movents to a more unpredictable pattern.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The pointed tips of the vines penetrated the ground like bullets.
Jinhyuk weaved in and out of lampposts, slowly luring the creature towards the outskirts.
Whoosh!
Tiny flas created through Fire Elentals flickered dimly atop the lampposts.
Just a little more.
Just a bit more and
At the junction where buildings t, Jinhyuk used Sword Demon Emperor Step to leap as far as he could.
He crossed over 15 ters in an instant.
And then.
A black sphere appeared right in front of Jinhyuk.
He had finally reached the territory of the third despair.
Patsuts!
The spheres surface rippled.
A lance faster than thought was ready to thrust forward without any preparatory movent.
Kieee!
From behind, the real body of the plant that had been pursuing him revealed itself.
Chunks of earth and fragnts of cent fell towards the ground.
The imnse body, nearly 100 ters, was intimidating in its very presence.
Front and back.
There was nowhere left to run.
