CH 154

. Prospects of the 7th Guild (1)

Whoops!

There was no time to even step in front of the luxurious mansion in the city center due to so many people.

Players from various guilds and reporters who came to film them.

And the onlookers snooping around wondering if any Congolese has fallen.

It was a sight reminiscent of Dotegi Market.

It's a ball. Who would have known that there was such a hidden event?

Even if only the most promising players in the world received invitations. From our point of view, it's a complete bonanza.

Ugh. That's right. Celebrities will all gather in one place.

Isn't there any way to get in somehow? If that's the case, the scoop is a dangsang.

The reporters licked their mouths with their eyes on.

I can't help but be excited to be able to see all the top rankers that it is difficult to see even one at a time.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the biggest scoop that occurred after the Tower of Trials appeared.

That was then.

jerk.

Someone approached the crowd.

A man with a strong physique with a sharp impression.

It was Yoshio Hoshikawa, the master of the Japanese Samurai Guild.

chwachwachwa chow chow!

The camera flash was dazzling.

come!

It's Yoshio!

Oh! You're the master of the Samurai Guild!

The rankers of the Samurai Guild are here too!

I'm glad. I was able to take a picture of even one person.

A neat navy blue suit and brown shoes perfectly harmonized.

Yoshio approached the crowd with a look of irritation on his face.

'What kind of asshole spread the information and gathered so many people.'

The ball is a Hidden event.

In other words, there was no way for anyone other than the player who received the invitation to even know that the ball was being held.

Still, the fact that so many reporters and flies gathered is that someone who received an invitation leaked information.

Abusive words welled up to his throat at that stupidity, but for now, getting in there was the priority.

'I'd rather come wearing a mask.'

Due to the trait of the Masquerade, it was a rule to wear a mask inside, but I didn't prepare for it because I didn't expect such a large crowd to come.

I thought I should just buy something suitable inside.

chwachwachwa chow chow chow!

The camera shutter flashed faster.

Sheesh.

Yoshio took out his sunglasses from his inner pocket and put them on.

I couldn't openly dislike it because of the guild's image, but I didn't want to play with it like that.

'I have a lot of things I want on the theme of 'Bugs with no dreams or a future...' .'

There are a lot of stragglers who just parasitize other strong people and want them to save their future.

In fact, among the many players gathered here, there is not a single one worth using, right?

If it were not for a strong man like himself, the human race would surely perish sooner or later.

But that was then.

creepy

...!?

Goosebumps rose along Yoshio's back.

There is something in the crowd.

A monster with an energy sharp enough to freeze the air.

'Did he come with an invitation?'

It was reasonable to assume so.

Because there was no way an ordinary player could have such an absurd mana.

Yoshio concentrated his mind and searched for the source of mana.

found.

Dressed in a black suit.

And a pair of players whose white masks stand out.

'Oh.'

The female side hardly felt mana, but the male side was really strong.

If you fight 1:1, you can't guarantee a win.

So far, I have sparring with many rankers and have broken through various labyrinths and dungeons, but this was the first time I was so excited.

so that. I was looking forward to it.

Where does your opponent actually belong?

And will it be a competitor or an ally? that's all

Looking at you, it looks like you're here to participate too. My name is Yoshio Hoshikawa. I'm in charge of the Japanese Samurai Guild.

At Yoshio's words, the reporters were astonished.

uh?

What? Yoshio-san is talking to someone?

Huh! That's...

The spotlight turned to the other side.

Everyone's attention was focused on one place.

Exactly where Jinhyuk and Elise are.

'Yoshio... .'

Jinhyuk nodded slightly.

How could you not know?

Master of the Samurai Guild, Japan's largest guild.

As you may have heard, the energy forged like a single sword was impressive.

level is high. Of course, the unique abilities and skills they have will also be gorgeous.

'It's good that rankers all gather together.'

The masked ball was like a buffet with mint chocolate as the main theme, ice cream, shaved ice, sandwiches, and macarons.

Jinhyuk quickly activated the 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

now .

Even the masters of the 7th guild cannot compete with their level.

'I can't keep up with my growth even with sheep hunting, which consumes all the prey of the dungeon.'

After all, the level gap inevitably widens as we are holding all the bosses who are in charge of the path to the next floor.

Considering the time spent to get the 'gap', the current level gap would not be just level 3.

'There are adaptive and newly acquired Essence stats, so I think it's a completely different level.'

Even a world-class ranker could not dare to approach it.

It has grown so much.

But only one.

The conditions for copying the opponent's ability were still very difficult.

[Copy Conditions: Yoshio, the first Japanese sword, is a ranker representing Japan. To copy one of his unique abilities and skills, the following conditions must be met.]

Use someone other than yourself to subdue Yoshio. However, the term "other" here refers to a player.

If you fail, you can do it yourself, but in that case you won't be able to use your weapon. Instead, you must use one of your forks, chopsticks, spoons or pencils to subdue your opponent.

'shit.'

Use someone instead to subdue it.

What kind of crazy person was trying to fight the Master of the 7th Guild?

Moreover, even if he succeeded in roasting someone with all kinds of slander and politics, it was another matter to subdue that samurai.

He could have gone on his own, but it was absolutely ridiculous that he had to choose and fight such a nonsensical weapon.

'kill.'

sure to kill

If you don't know anything else, you'll definitely find the guy who made up the system someday.

And I will make him achieve all the copying conditions he has done so far.

If you experience it yourself, you will be able to feel how crazy the high school students you are doing now are.

Whoo... .

Jinhyuk sighed for a moment, then cleared his mind.

It's not like this has happened once or twice, it's because I thought it would happen now.

That was then.

Hey. Can't you hear what eldest brother is asking right now? If someone asks you, you have to answer. What rudeness is this?

Behind Yoshio, a man who had been attached like an attendant stepped out.

Yoshio also had a height of 180 cm, but this man was completely different in size.

He is about 210 cm tall and weighs 150 kg.

sumo As a player, it was huge enough for everyone to understand.

Tsutomu. Stop it.

Yoshio lightly stretched out his hand.

However, the man called Tsutomura grumbled with a face full of dissatisfaction.

I know your eldest brother is generous, but you don't have to be like that to these disrespectful people. Even Namgungcheon of the Chinese Guild can't be reckless with him, but those who can't even see his face dare to ignore his first greeting. no.

Tsutomu!

Yoshio raised his voice, but it was already too late.

Because Jinhyuk wasn't the only one who would sit still after hearing those words.

under .

It was when Jinhyuk opened his mouth to say a word.

If you go cowardly, you don't hide behind. It's called a masquerade, isn't it stupid to go there and not wear a mask? More than that, I don't know why an idiot who didn't even get an invitation intervenes.

Elise, who had been silent, intervened.

What, what?

You got fat in your ears, so you couldn't hear it? Even that bearded man told me not to do it, but it means that you don't lose any weight and stay calm. Oh! Don't answer me. I'm trying to get annoyed with the smell of oil from my mouth.

uhm.

Still, at first, he was a vampire full of dignity and stubbornness.

As we went together, we reached a point where we could put dill in any mouth.

'It's silent and dark... .'

Jinhyuk shook his head, feeling a certain sense of responsibility.

It was enough that the listeners bit their tongues, so anger must have risen to the top of their heads.

as proof of that expectation.

Who the fuck did you dare say such a thing!

Tsutomu, whose face turned red, stretched out his hand.

I'll shatter that apple-sized head!

[Tsutomu activates Lv7 'One Point Crush'!]

A superpower capable of turning even rocks into powder.

An attack with the weight of a sumo wrestler was developed.

However, right before the palms grabbed Elise's head.

It's ridiculous.

A cold voice came out of Alice's mouth.

At the same time.

Aww!

Something against gravity struck Tsutomu in the back of his head.

Gagging!

Screaming for a while. Unexpected pressure was transmitted.

Does it feel like an invisible giant hand is pressing it?

Turn it off...

A thick tendon protruded from Tsutomu's forehead.

Still, like a high ranker, he used defensive skills in layers. It was just that.

Because Jinhyuk spared no mana supply, Elise was able to implement a fairly high-density skill.

It was impossible for a single player to withstand Jinjo's irritating attack.

kukuku kuk kuk!

Rumble!

Tsutomu shook his head, unable to breathe.

Damn little bastard? Did you dare say that to Jim?

Turn it off...

Why can't you talk? You've been playing with your tongue so well a while ago. Did the fat even clot by then?

The anger in his voice grew stronger.

Wow... Wow!

The ground began to crack like a tortoise shell.

If it's like this... .

That big man will be crushed to death.

In the end, Yoshio, who had not seen it, came out.

I'm going to take a hard look at the rudeness that this friend committed. So why don't we stop at this point? If we cross the line, it won't be good for each other.

Why do I have to listen to that?

Elise snorted.

At that time, Jinhyuk added a word.

Okay. Stop it. It's almost midnight, and I don't have time to fuss here.

Ha, but!

Elise. I'm telling you to stop.

Oh, I see. I can't.

Elise harvested the mana.

Guck! Gagging! Cool...

Tsutomu, who barely managed to save his life, slumped to the ground.

The tension that had been so tight was gone.

Yoshio's face was still full of tension.

I had no choice but to do so.

'I thought women were just bridesmaids... .'

That idea is completely wrong.

A completely different level of strength.

Even if it had been me over there, the result would not have changed.

if so .

How strong is the man that the woman can't even move?

As the thought reached that point, dry saliva ran down Yoshio's throat.
