Chapter 37: (2): Season 1: Preparation
A familiar notification sound rang out. Even if critical shots were fired, the damage was always zero. Except for the time with Cyclops. Se-youngs face started to turn red. Hyunseok calmly spoke.
Oh, your face turned pale at first and now its red? Ive said it before, no matter how pretty or cute you are, it wont work unless you have the skills.
.
A terrible habit had resurfaced. When dealing with an arrogant and silent woman, it was most effective to maintain a calm state and lightly touch her pride. However, it was necessary to make it not too unpleasant. There was a difference between provoking anger and dirtying ones mood. It was important to stimulate just enough to provoke anger, and Hyun-seok was very familiar with that.
Jong-won twisted his impression in disgust.
What the hell why does he throw out such stupid comments? Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?
It felt like an insult, but not quite. It was slightly playful and different from ordinary verbal language. Taking into account Hyun-seoks attitude and expression, it didnt feel like an insult at all.
Hyun-seok allowed the attacks completely defenseless. To Jong-won, it seemed like a somewhat absurd situation. The woman gnawed at Hyun-seoks body, and Hyun-seok casually dodged and took the blows without putting up any defense. It was clear at a glance that he was avoiding the attacks in a very careless manner. It was even a bit apologetic to say he was avoiding them.
On the other hand, Se-youngs attacks became sharper and sharper. Initially, she attacked his arms, legs, and such, but now she directly targeted his weak spots. Her skills were genuine. Every time she attacked, an accurate notification sound could be heard.
Critical damage applied.
However, Hyun-seoks H/P did not decrease at all. His impenetrable defense was unyielding. It was the ideal style that Jong-won desired. Unwaveringly pushing forward with unparalleled resilience and power.
But hes not limited to that style; he can do everything. How can he even pull off such an absurd style? Damn cheat code.
Even though critical shots continued to be fired, the damage remained at zero. No matter how fast and precise the attacks were, they were useless if the damage didnt register. Time passed, and now Hyun-seok no longer evaded. He simply let himself be hit without any effort to defend. He even yawned as if it was bothersome. It was a deliberate provocation.
As time went on, Se-young grew increasingly tired. If we were to liken the situation to a monkey dancing in front of a rock, it was a similar situation. No matter how much the monkey danced, the rock remained unscathed.
Hyun-seok spoke.
Are you ready to admit defeat?
***
The PvP itself was conducted secretly, but the results were revealed.
The Platinum Slayer. Revealing his grandeur!
The slayer who defeated Jong-won with a perfect score. Admitting defeat to the Platinum Slayer gracefully.
Perfect defeat by the Platinum Slayer!
Do you know what rank achievement youll receive for defeating Cyclops?
Impossible.
That was already a well-known fact.
Impossible achievements can earn you far more bonus stats than regular achievements. Do you know that?
Se-young nodded. Rather than being a conscious nod, it was more of an automatic response. She had heard of impossible achievements, but only as a hearsay.
If you travel with me, we can achieve many impossible achievements together. Despite appearances, Im an achievement enthusiast.
Se-young chuckled and replied. Another member had joined the Inha Guild.
Ha Jong-won, a single-hit slayer with strength stats, Hong Se-young, an agile and disruptive slayer. Kang Pyeong-hwa, a healing slayer with Ratio Heal, not yet sufficient in m/p but considered top-tier in terms of recovery. And of course, Hyun-seok, who encompassed all of it.
The Inha Guild now had five members. Jong-won made a -suggestion.
Hey, Hyun-seok. Lets recruit Myeong-hoon too. No, we must.
Myeong-hoon?
He remembered Myeong-hoon, the eccentric who was the first to discover the Twin-headed Troll. He heard that Myeong-hoon had a close relationship with Jong-won.
Look, the Inha Guild is shaping up quite nicely. Myeong-hoon has a special class He wants to reveal it. Can we at least have a conversation? Can you make time? No, please make time. Please meet him.
Jong-won added one more thing.
Brother.
Jong-wons attitude was somewhat bewildering, but when Hyun-seok met Myeong-hoon, he was truly surprised. He could learn things that he had never known before from Myeong-hoon.
No matter how much of an all-stats slayer Hyun-seok was, even if he was considered an all-around slayer, he had a reason to recruit Myeong-hoon.
