Episode 31. Youve Picked the Wrong Opponent (2)
Im not sure when I wasnt proud.
I wont deny it.
Im more confident now than ever!
[Harkon Kingsguard : Lv.600]
I have the strongest knights in the Empire as my party.
I dont know when Ill get another chance in my lifeti to be associated with such a titan.
So I steeled myself.
I have to make the most of this opportunity.
Thanks to the points I invested in my Luck stat.
Anyway, its a stroke of luck that will never co again.
This was the end of our relationship on the Yusra Islands.
In that case, I would do everything I could here!
That was my plan.
The first step, of course, was to secure the islands treasures.
In my inventory, of course, was the crown, the islands treasure.
I had no ti for greed.
Thanks to Grandfells settings, the collapse progression did not increase.
So.
For now, weve stopped the great evil from awakening.
Stop the resurgence of the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed. (Ongoing)
Dont let the islands treasures be tainted by greed. (Ongoing)
There are still treasures on the island.
The quest was in progress.
This is a bonus stage!
The treasures of the island.
To hunt monsters and get loot.
It was all up to .
Now I cant even look down on myself for not having a teammate.
No excuses.
The Knights of Lion Hart.
They were on my tail.
Or so I thought.
Harkon, walking alongside , spoke up.
Indeed, the landscape is as beautiful as the legends, except for one thing.
One thing?
Well, thats quite a statent.
As I stared at it wordlessly, Harkon asked a question.
Lord Ho-Yeol, what do you think of the rats in the trees?
Now, wait a minute.
What did he just say?
, Lord Ho-Yeol?!
What, that title that makes cringe every ti I hear it!
Adventurer Lee Ho-yeol to Lord Ho-yeol.
We can guess the reason for the change.
Even if I dont know the reason, Harkon was mistaken.
A very good mistake about .
Misunderstanding? I can do that.
And the way youre doing it, the way youre talking.
Youd think you were a nobleman.
Sotis Im mistaken, too.
Cheap green tea tastes really sweet, and I just do.
But.
Im about to die of embarrassnt.
Im dying of embarrassnt.
Lord Ho-yeol.
Above all, my sisters, especially No. 3.
I rember her face.
If she ever found out, she would be teased for the rest of her life.
Theres enough black history as it is.
Im glad it ended in the Yusra Islands.
Please dont let us et outside.
Thats what I wanted to say.
I replied nonchalantly.
Lord Harkon, what are your thoughts?
With all due respect, I think its better that you deal with this.
I will respect your decision.
As I swallowed my sha, I rembered the conversation.
Up in the tree, did I say rat?
He ant squirrels.
I said, Are squirrels high level here?
Might as well get it over with.
Lets go see so squirrels.
Thats when I looked up in the tree.
A ssage ca to .
[Eusras Island is beginning to be tainted by greed].
[Collapse progress: 8/10].
Waah, whats left?
Not counting the crown I acquired.
Looking at it again, there is only one treasure left on the island.
The sound was the sound of all the players in the Yusra Islands converging on this island.
This is no ti for squirrel hunting.
I continued.
But for now, can you follow ?
Thud.
There was no question.
Harkon sheathed his sword and nodded.
Of course. Lord Ho-Yeol. We have promised to be your sword and shield on this island.
Harkons frosty gaze turned to the treetops.
I dont think the squirrels will be around for a while, either.
Was there really a squirrel?
I started to shake my head, then stopped.
Its undignified to poke around too much.
That, too, is undignified.
I swallowed a sigh at the thought.
I resented myself for adapting to this tired personality.
*.
Robbery, blackmail, murder.
All sorts of evil deeds, and no judgnt.
I even gave myself the dubious title of supernova.
Where is there a God? If there was, Id be dead by now.
But Kinver had nothing to fear.
Players higher than him?
No matter how high they were.
If youre bitten by this poison, you can only beg for your life.
He couldnt count the number of players who had died because they had trusted a higher level than him.
Not to ntion the weaker ones.
But the vicious Kinver was trembling.
[The Harkon Kingsguard has its eyes on you].
[Your body and mind are paralyzed with fear].
[Aberration: Fear arises].
Im sorry.
Please dont kill .
I wanted to scream, but I couldnt even find my voice.
Thats the Harkon Kingsguard!!!
Lion Hart, the mightiest knightly order in the Empire.
The leader of the lions, the Templars.
They rely made eye contact.
Kinver couldnt move a finger.
Please, please!
A clang.
The sound of a sword being drawn.
A cold voice spoke at the sa ti.
Lord Harkon, what are your thoughts?
I think its better to deal with it.
He had never felt it before.
Kinver was even more vulnerable to fear.
Oh, no, no, no!
If I could.
He felt like burying his head in the ground and begging.
But.
I will respect your decision.
The voice sounded like a celestial force.
At that mont, Kinvers legs gave out.
!
He could feel his pants getting wet.
But he felt no sha.
At this mont, the fear of death was too great.
-Youre wrong.
Its my coworkers voice.
Was it the hallucination that had been tugging at my nerves earlier?
I couldnt tell the difference.
But can you follow now?
?
Of course. Lord Ho-Yeol. We have promised to be your sword and shield on this island.
Ironcluck-?
Harkon sheathed his sword at Ho-Yeols words.
Then he really let himself go.
Only when they were far enough away did Kinver co to his senses.
Did I live?
I, how did I live?
Kinver muttered.
Did he save ?
Lee Ho-yeol, the guy?
Because he felt sorry for , the guy whod pissed his pants?
Or because hes a rat who doesnt care about people like ?
Whatever the reason, it was good.
Kinver wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.
Sh*t.
Only one emotion.
He sobbed with relief that he had lived.
Kinver realized again.
Different dinsion.
The Harkon Kingsguard.
It was a monster, more than a monster.
And Lee Ho-Yeol, wielding such a harkon as a sword and shield.
Kinver reconnected the call.
-Kinver, as*h*le, do you hear now?
-What was I supposed to do, shut up?
To the anger of his colleagues, he spoke up.
Im out of the Yusra Island.
-What the f*ck are you talking about, as*h*le? Hey!
Finally. Dont ss with Lee Ho-yeol if you dont want to be f*cked.
-What?!
Tsk-tsk.
I could hear the yelling, but it was good.
Kinver did not want to set foot on the Yusra Island for another mont.
Lee Ho-Yeol or Harkon.
If he ran into either of them again.
Because then Id really be out of my mind.
.
.
.
Whats wrong with this as*h*le?
Supernova, Park Hyun-jung gritted his teeth.
Its not every day that the Kinver bastard acts like an as*h*le.
Today, he crossed the line a bit.
You son of a bitch.
How much had he invested for today?
It was a deficit for a modest hunt.
If not a jackpot, at least a modest one.
Park beca increasingly nervous.
You know what Im going through, you f*cking Kinver!
It was a stupid decision to trust the sa supernova regardless of skill.
They dont know when to stab you in the back.
Park gritted his teeth.
I dont know about you, but I cant back down like this.
It was then.
He heard a voice in his ear.
-You can do it.
-Its simple, killing and stealing.
-Now youre here. Co on, youve got this.
What the f*ck?
The call was obviously cut off.
Park was stunned by the clarity of the voice.
But it was only for a mont.
Ill do sothing. I will!
-Dont ss with Lee Ho-yeol if you dont want to be f*cked.
I dont know what it is, but I dont want to die.
Except for Lee Ho-yeol, that bastard.
*.
Tudududududududu
Dozens of helicopters flew over the Pacific Ocean.
Below them, of course, are the Yusra Islands.
Its not quite as realistic, but its the best I could do from the top of a helicopter.
There were live monsters roaming the Yusra Islands.
Still, its a bad angle. Jong Jin, cant you just do a bungee jump? Youre wearing a parachute.
VBC News.
Hyun Yong Suks crude joke is t with a stern reply.
-Ugh. Im going to die of motion sickness, really!
I have to pay the bills. I missed all these opportunities.
I still havent heard about Lee Ho-yeol yet! Ew!
Makes sick, really.
Hyun Yong-seok took off his headset for a mont and wrote.
I did my best though. Thanks to you, the ratings are cruising.
Todays Arcana is live.
Current live ratings are at 15 percent.
Of course, the ratings were driven by Gaon, not a gagging Yoon Jong-jin.
The Shining won two island treasures, or whatever.
In the end, the nations attention was on the Guild of Korea.
It was only natural that it would turn to Gaon.
-Was that a good shot? That was a good one at the end.
Maybe its because the mobs are big here. I actually preferred the angle from a distance. The viewer reaction was amazing. It was worth it to make you sick.
-Good for you, for recognizing that. Boom!
Gaon defeats the Nad Monster and acquires the islands treasure.
Regardless of the viewership, Hyun Yong Suk was thrilled.
Also.
Only the finale, lets make sure we get one cut.
Players gathered on the last island.
As many players gathered.
Naturally, it would create an interesting picture.
-Im definitely going to get a close-up of the Inazuma guys faces. Considering how an theyve been to us, Im going to take a picture of their humiliation! Wow!
I ate all my food today because of you.
Yes, Yoon Jong-jin was right.
Even if I only captured the changes in Kazuma Inazumas and Hisagi Kazumas facial expressions, it was amazing.
Unlike Gaon, the Japanese guild, Inazuma, hadnt gotten any of the islands treasures.
Maybe the guild rankings will change.
The anticipation grew.
Tudu-tudu-tudu-tudu
The helicopter was flying to the last island after Gaon.
-Wow. Everyone is so fast.
What? Are they there already?
-Hold on, let zoom in.
The transmission screen zood in.
Then I realized why Yoon Jong-jin was so excited.
Wow. This is spectacular. This.
The Shining and Unification of Heaven and Earth.
Guilds and players flocking to the center of the island.
-This isnt sothing you see every day, is it, Senpai?
No, I dont think Ive ever seen it before. We shouldnt be gathering like this in the first place, theres no point in competing in the Rift.
-Treasure Island, thanks to you, really.
I wonder what will happen on the final island?
Watching it, I couldnt help but feel like a viewer instead of a PD.
But Hyun Yong Suk was a pro.
First, lets get the Gaon and Inazuma angle out of the way.
-Okay. But wait.
Ill just watch it in peace.
Once the battle begins in earnest, it becos difficult to get the right angle.
I had to get at least one clear shot.
I was nagged day after day.
Yoon Jong-jin was a pro.
Okay. Tae-mins mask is good.
The face of Gaons guild master, Nam Tae-min, appeared in the angle.
But wait.
Why?
Nam Tae-mins face is colored in horror?
No, thats more than horror, thats screaming!
What is he looking at?
I wonder that too!
Suddenly, Yoon Jong-jins cara spins around.
And there it is.
Yaaaaat?! H, hyung! Ho-yeol, Lee Ho-yeol!
It was Lee Ho-yeol again.
But he wasnt alone.
Hyun Yong-seok was looking at the monitor.
His face, like Yoon Jong-jins, was colored with horror.
-Stop, hyung. The lion! The lion! The lion! The lion symbol!
Helicopters hovered along the VBC.
The Knights of Lion Hart?! What the hell, whats going on, this!
Soon, all the caras were covering the sa angle.
