Chapter 477

Episode 477. Quest for Weirdness – Presentation (1)

Inside the Prototype Crack.

“Fuck. “What is this pattern again?”

“This is a bit embarrassing.”

“...Great monster! “Where have those kids gone?”

Each person was isolated.

At first, it was no different from a crucible of chaos. While there were players who calmly assessed the situation, there were also players who took steps to make threats.

“Ugh! surprise...!”

But fortunately, the confusion did not last long.

“...

Tiring.

News delivered through a ringtone or vibration.

It was emergency disaster information sent from AAU.

A question mark appeared on Leonie’s face.

“A signal is going off here?”

I was on the Arcana Continent just now?

I couldn’t believe it, but it was reality.

And it was the only solution to overcome this situation.

Shift the perspective to the real AAU.

“Players are accessing the link!”

“Hisagi Schreig Rox Leonie... Rankers are also sharing the screen one after another. “I think you can start quickly, branch manager!”

“Hmm.”

Park Min-jae, head of the Korea branch, cleared his throat.

And stood on the podium.

This is my first time meeting players like this...

‘Nervousness doesn’t suit me.’

Even in the past when I knew nothing.

It was Park Min-jae, who negotiated face-to-face with Rayman Sean.

Of course, that face was fake.

“This is branch manager Park Min-jae. “Let’s get to the point.”

Park Min-jae’s words and actions were still unstoppable.

Access the link like other players.

AAUs from around the world stopped when they saw Park Min-jae’s face.

“After all, the only person who can take on this role is our Mr. Park, right? “No matter how different the players are, most people won’t be able to withstand the pressure.”

AAU London Branch President.

Baker expressed his honest feelings.

Of course, Baker was not weak.

Overly brave or crazy in a good way.

Park Min-jae is just special.

“Sir, can this proceed safely...?”

Seong Hyun-jun carefully asked Yoon Soo-gyeom.

Okay.

Su-gyeom Yoon answered while adjusting his glasses.

“I hope so. “Very earnestly.”

The current operation began with one contact.

Nam Cheol-min, the analyst and brain of the grand alliance.

A phone call from him.

“...Are you talking about the crack inside the Arcana Continent?”

At first glance, it sounds absurd.

However, Park Min-jae knew how to see people and did not ignore Nam Cheol-min’s words. They immediately grasped the situation and quickly built infrastructure according to Nam Cheol-min’s opinion.

Hyeonjun Seong stuck out his tongue.

“Honestly, I thought that we had a place in a large alliance due to blood ties... but it is not normal to make a plan like this in such a situation. Nam Cheol-min too.”

Labyrinth, dungeon, wonder, etc....

For regular players, not [Explorers].

It is impossible to clear the trials one after another.

But if AAU themselves.

“I know. “I found the only move.”

Things change when we leverage collective intelligence.

Why is AAU treated like a scoundrel? It was because I knew what I knew, but I didn’t know anything about what I didn’t know. The prototype crack that players entered into such AAU?

“We will provide support tailored to the screen you send!”

Fortunately, this was something that AAU knew.

-So, in this labyrinth, you have to point to the left wall?

-...is it true? Because I’m crawling, the trap won’t trigger!

-You guys are crazy. It’s been a while since you guys are together?

Reality and Arcana Continent.

Players and AAU.

The first and largest joint operation in history.

It goes without saying, but there was unprecedented interest.

If you move your gaze for a moment, you will see SNS that are updated every moment.

Seong Hyun-jun swallowed dry saliva.

“...From the time I worked at Cosmo until now, I have been criticized on the Internet for being a monthly salary lupine. “I think it’s really the first time I’ve heard a compliment in my life.”

Yoon Soo-gyeom also took his eyes off for a moment and looked at the reactions.

– Finally, AAU has started paying for food too hahaha

– At times like this, I feel reassured haha

– I guess the old GM Jjambap is not going anywhere hahaha

That wasn’t an exaggeration. Based on the information provided by AAU, the players advanced through the labyrinth at breakneck speed. The level gap was not very important.

-it’s okay...!

Nam Cheol-min’s vision on the first screen shakes. Analyst Nam Cheol-min, who was only around level 100, seemed to have cleared the labyrinth safely.

“If it’s over there, it’s all stagnant water, right?”

These are the players who advanced to stop the great monster.

Soon, the players battle.

No, the struggle to death has begun.

*

Nam Taemin remembered.

‘I hope you’re doing well, brother.’

If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have held it back.

How can we go around the cracks together when we have time?

I should have seen your fighting stance at least.

[The stat ‘wildness’ tightens your body.]

Barbarian’s unique skill [Beerse].

The rebound is slowly coming.

Reason was becoming clouded.

“...Damn it.”

It is an unavoidable limitation.

It’s not easy to handle sword energy and berserk fire at the same time. I wonder if Commander Ho-yeol would have said that there was no need to rush?

But...

Kwakakakak.

Nam Taemin pushed himself even further to his limits. He didn’t even pay attention to the warning message. I parried, received, and ignored the barrage of attacks and moved forward.

Somebody.

No, he knows me better than anyone else.

Even Cheolmin would say that.

Are you crazy because you want to die?

“...that’s right.”

Yes.

“I was so crazy because I wanted to die.”

The reason Nam Tae-min was being unreasonable was literally to cross the line of death. This was because it was to hold back the sword energy that was becoming more and more intense in the desperate struggle going back and forth across the firing line.

Squeak.

“...!”

A cool sensation beneath the shoulder blades.

At that moment, Nam Taemin remembered.

The teachings of Master Harkon.

-“The sword energy becomes thicker in the battle between life and death. There are no exceptions in any case. Even if Sir Hoyeol. No, even if you are the Commander-in-Chief, that is no exception.”

When I heard that, I had doubts.

Because I thought fever and life-or-death crisis were words that did not go together.

At any moment.

Because I have seen Ho-yeol’s appearance without losing his uprightness.

‘...no one is exempt.’

However, that thinking has changed a bit recently.

Because I witnessed it.

To be precise, it was because I was in charge.

The unknown smell emanating from Ho-yeol. Of course, it was unknown whether the owner of the smell was a direct threat to Ho-yeol. Because I couldn’t figure out what that smell was in the first place.

But one thing is clear.

To find out what it is.

In order to help Ho-yeol, who may be in danger as a result.

Quickly.

It was necessary to break down the wall that blocked one’s limitations.

Nam Taemin gritted his teeth and swung his great sword.

Nam Taemin’s pupil focus gradually began to blur.

Blinking vision.

[※Caution: The body is consumed by wildness.]

The side effects of berserk are simple.

Literally wild.

Going back to the beginning and not relying on weapons or equipment.

You enter the battle with a body engulfed in wildness.

Even when arcana was just a game.

Afterwards, Nam Taemin experienced side effects several times.

But this moment was different.

Even if it has been encroached upon by the wild.

Hold.

Nam Taemin’s hand was still holding the great sword.

Sword energy was blooming from the body of such a great sword.

The form of such sword energy is like...

breaking.

With the enemy right in front of you.

It was like the fur of a wild beast rising when it soars.

Nam Tae-min holding a great sword looks like a wild beast.

What that image meant was simple.

Nam Tae-min became one with the great sword.

We have finally knocked on the door to the unity of the new sword.

.

.

.

A social venue in space and time.

A place where some transcendents reside.

Parchment falls from the air.

“Examination of transcendental qualifications. His name is Nam Taemin. Are you an adventurer?”

But it wasn’t just one piece.

A shot out of thin air.

Another sheet.

Even with that, the astonishment did not end.

“...huh? You have two names, right? Now wait a minute! What is this long name?!”
