21 Beef is Always Right.

'The tactical field is breaking!'

Oren was commanding 8 members of the Bacallo guild. All of the 8 members were in fact in the 2-minute range. This was in line with the tactical field being set.

The tactical field would only be maintained if each unit of their troops maintains it at a certain interval. If a soldier dies, then another one from the troop would hurry to fill in the gap. If that soldier died again, the gap would again be filled by another. This was so the tactical field could be maintained. If the tactical field was maintained then it would remain to be an impregnable barrier.

However, right now, the tactical field was starting to crumble. This could only mean one thing...

'We're being killed at a rate that's fast enough that even the guild members cannot fill in the gaps.'

Oren saw and observed his movements carefully.

He's incredibly fast for someone at Lv80.

In addition, a single cut from him would lead to a 50% decrease in their HP. This was according to what a soldier reported to him before he died.

'That guy's HP will definitely bottom out too.'

There were now only thirteen remaining members of the Bacallo guild. On the contrary, the enemy's HP was definitely going to be depleted soon.

We've met an unexpected opponent but he's going to die soon.

Then, a man appeared in Oren's sight. He was filled with wounds of varying degrees.

'As expected...!'

At this rate, his HP is definitely around 50% or even lower.

Oren made eye contact with the other guild members around him.

Let's surprise him with a group attack.

Even if they died, they would be able to kill him after landing some strikes on him.

At that moment, they saw the man take out a chocobar from his bosom. Then, he peeled off the wrapper and started to chomp on it.

'He's even eating right now?!'

Oren signaled with his eyes. The guild members moved to different places preparing to ambush the man.

However, Oren had no choice but to stop his movements. The small wounds littering the man's body...

The wounds are regenerating like crazy, it's as if he's a troll!

"W, wait... His body...!"

Before he could even finish his words... The man, who seemed like he had recovered his HP, quickly narrowed the distance and started to knock them out one by one.

Then...

Bang!

A guild member was smashed into a tree right next to where Oren stood.

Sliiiide—

The guild member was forced to log-out in his collapsed state.

"H, how did his HP..."

No matter which way he looked at it, it was a tremendous recovery.

Are there any skills with a recovery rate like that? No, I haven't heard of a skill like that at all.

And right at that moment...

Oren only saw the man quickly narrowing the distance between them... And he was no more. He was logged out in a blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

Oren got out of his capsule.

Oren, or Lee Seongdong, continuously spat out curses for quite some time.

'D, don't tell me...!'

In the past, he posted a statement about the ability to recover so he quickly searched through the posts in Athenae's official homepage. After searching for a while, he was finally able to confirm it.

'I heard that it hasn't been released in the country yet...'

He was thinking about the blood of the Twin-headed Troll.

Its blood should be drunk along with plenty of expensive materials for it to work. He knew that those materials would definitely cost a user a lot of fortune for them to be able to get their hands on it. In addition, there were only five users in the entire world who hold the blood of the said Twin-headed Troll. The blood of the Twin-headed Troll was already priced at around 400 million won.

"......What in the world did that bastard do?"

Not knowing about Minhyuk's ability to recover just by eating, Lee Seongdong was now led astray by his conjectures. He was unaware that he was completely and utterly mistaken.

[The Tactical Field has been broken.]

[As penalty, all Brave Warriors will have a -30% drop in all of their abilities.]

"......!"

"Ah, I'm hungry. I should go back to the convenience store~"

Minhyuk hummed as he moved towards the convenience store.

Nine hours have already passed since the tournament has begun.

Jan looked at the users on the monitor. Each and everyone of them looked tired and exhausted with the prolonged tension and lengthy battles.

However, Lucia was still on her way to achieving 60 kills by herself.

'What's the relationship between those two? Do they know each other? That man is really strong.'

Once the game began, the voices of both the host and the spectators could not be heard by any of the contestants. They could not verify their current scores and could only base it on their kill numbers and their current situation.

Furthermore, the range of their movements in Cork Island was starting to get limited since the circle was slowly getting smaller. Eventually, they would be gathered at a distance 300m around the convenience store. Everyone would not be able to enter the convenience store and those inside would be thrown out in the field. This meant that all the users would be gathered together and fight each other near the convenience store.

[The Brackan has been summoned to Cork Island.]

[The user fighting the Brackan cannot be attacked.]

"This is the charm of the competition this time. The named monster Brackan is being summoned right now! The Velto that appeared before this was easily beaten by the users. Will the contestants work together to hunt the Brackan?"

"Waaaaaaaaaah!"

Loud cheers broke out of the stands. It was a usual occurrence for users to team up and fight together to kill named monsters with a much higher level than them.

That wasn't all.

'If they successfully killed the monster, then they will be able to get the best items that it can give.'

Each monster has a different item drop. This was not like the monster Ogre where one couldn't even get the Ogre Gauntlet after hunting the monster successfully. In this tournament, the monsters would give a 100% drop rate so they would be able to get the best artifacts that they could receive.

For that reason, the audience would both be focused and envious while watching their battles.

'That user...'

Jan tilted her head on her monitor which had continuously alternating scenes from the island.

It was a user who was wearing a black robe. This user continuously ran all over the island and focused only on hiding himself.

Jan saw the administrators gathered around. She was one of the few people who could see them in their transparent mode. She quietly eavesdropped on their conversation.

"That Black Wizard. Why don't that guy brainwash the other users?"

As far as Jan knew, this was Park Minggyu. He was the leader of the Special Users Team. He was talking to a woman beside him.

"I, is he really trying to use that skill? That's the only thing I can think of on why he's saving his MP and mental strength."

"No, it won't make sense at all. If he used that skill then he would drop to Lv1 and he won't be able to level up for 3 months, you know? So why will he use that?"

The development team leader in front of them was the one who answered.

"In fact, if you remove that skill, then the Black Wizard was not a threat at all......"

The administrators nodded their heads in sympathy.

"When will the Minotaurus appear?"

"It will appear 20 minutes before the game ends."

"But at that time the users will only be limited to a 300m range, right?"

"Yes..."

The 300m circular range was small. And once they went outside of that range then their HP would decrease by itself. That was the reason why everyone would be in there.

"If the Black Wizard really used his skill 'Absolute Domination' to control the Minotaurus then it would really turn into a massacre......"

'What......?!'

Jan was caught by surprise when she heard their words.

He would control the Minotaurus?

That Lv140 one?

Will that even make sense for a Lv80 user like that?! Is that even possible?!

Jan thought about it more deeply.

'I heard that the Minotaurus does not come out as a seon mob. But if it gets brainwashed and was together with all of the remaining users in a 300m range...'

It was a matter of fact that the Minotaurus was no longer controlled by the administrators. But if it was controlled by a user, then it would become his weapon.

If it really happens......

'Then all of the users will die, right?'

TL's corner!!!

A rare no footnote chapter again!!!

Just to remind you, a seon mob is a monster that attacks a user when it sees one.

PR’s corner!
