At this moment, Hyeonuâs body split into several parts. This wasnât all. The red energy that flowed from Hyeonuâs body infiltrated the group leaderâs body.
âWhat is this?â The group leader was once again surprised by Hyeonuâs bizarre footwork and the power controlling the group leaderâs body.
âSa...â The moment the leader tried to open his mouth, Dark Star pieced the group leaderâs body. The group leader couldnât even speak and just died. It was a meaningless death.
[Yu Jian of the Secret Camp has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
âIâm right. He was from Milyeong,â Hyeonu thought and decided that the Seongho Group had no more members of the Secret Camp. The treasury master and group leader had been members of the Secret Camp, and they had occupied the leadership positions. However, Wang San, the current treasury master, was a typical bandit.He was too stupid to be a member of the Secret Camp.
âWang San, you saw it right? Your leader was panicked rather than angry when he heard about the Secret Camp member,â Hyeonu said.
âI admit it. The leader showed suspicious behavior. Even though he is now dead, the leader always had many secrets. He periodically hid the gold coins that were meant to be handed out to our brothers.â Wang San agreed with Hyeonuâs claim.
Yet this attitude flustered Hyeonu instead.âWhat is with this guy?â
It was the same for the viewers. Wang Sanâs change in attitude was too dramatic.
-Wow, look at the transition.The group leader died, so he knew it immediately.
-He seems to be a typical opportunist.I really want to see the faces of those character programmers.
-This is a real personality ????.Itâs really funny.
âThen guide me to the residence of the leader. I will look for evidence that he is the member of the Secret Camp Iâm talking about.â
âI will go as well. It is the place I will be staying in the future, so I need to observe it with my own eyes. Ah, donât worry. I wonât interfere.â
âCough...â Hyeonu barely held back his laughter at Wang Sanâs unexpected words.
This bandit called Wang San had one of the top three personalities Hyeonu had faced in his long gaming career.
âThen letâs go,â Wang San said.
After hearing those words, Hyeonu looked around. It was to find Tang-E. However, Tang-E wasnât visible.
âWhy is he hidden so well?â
Since Hyeonu couldnât find Tang-E, he didnât need to worry about Tang-E being found by other mountain bandits. Hyeonu abandoned his worries about Tang-E and headed to the leaderâs residence under Wang Nanâs guidance.
***
âIt is cleaner than I thought it would be.âThis was Hyeonuâs impression after seeing the leaderâs residence. It was cleaner than he had expected it to be.There was no mess. It was more like a scholarâs study than the residence of a bandit. Ironically, this made them convinced that the dead leader, Yu Jian, was indeed a member of the Secret Camp.
âIt is impossible for a brother of Heuk Mountain to have such an orderly room. It seems that the leader was indeed the Secret Camp member that you mentioned,â Wang San stated.
In Hyeonuâs mind, Wang San wasnât a mountain bandit any longer but an orc.This simple and ignorant mindset was just like an orcâs. Hyeonu ignored Wang Sanâs words and started to rummage through the room. It was very easy to get around because it was well organized. Hyeonu managed to find what he was trying to find quite quickly.
[Ledger]
[A book with a very short list of names.]
However, the contents written inside werenât light at all. The ledger contained the flow of gold coins, including how and to where the gold coins stolen from merchant groups were distributed.
[-Buncheonru.]
All the gold coins were heading for Buncheonru. This might be an intermediate stop, but this was the only information Hyeonu had currently.
[Investigate the Seongho Group 1/1]
This was enough for Hyeonu to clear the quest.
[Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs Steps]
[The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior had very powerful martial arts, but he was highly opposed to bandits.
Investigate the Seongho Group to find out why the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior was in conflict with them.
Rating: S+
Conditions: Investigate the Seongho Group 0/1
Rewards: Experience, information about the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior.]
[Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs Steps has been cleared.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
[You have obtained information about the movements of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior.]
âThen how will I be given the information?â
This question was raised naturally. The information didnât take a precise form. It was common to receive books with information or hear it from someone. This time, there wasnât a solid reward. As if it understood Hyeonuâs question, the system offered compensation in a way that was too game-like.
A message window appeared in front of Hyeonu.
[Observing the steps of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior.]
Shortly after the message disappeared, Hyeonuâs screen flashed black.
***
-What is it?What is this?
-The streaming is turned off. Whatâs going on?Why is it suddenly a black screen?
-No, Alley Leader.Whatâs going on?It is a black screen.
The chat window immediately heated up the moment a black stream was all that displayed on Alley Leaderâs stream. It was an important scene in the stream yet the screen turned black. They naturally couldnât help being angry. Then the viewers heard a voice that made their anger disappear.
âEveryone, the screen will be dark for a moment. Please wait a bit. It is because my vision is currently black,â Hyeonu conveyed the current situation. He didnât know what was going on exactly. All he knew that his vision had been flashing since the message window appeared. A short time later, Hyeonuâs vision became brighter. However, the perspective was a bit strange.
âEveryone, I seem to be floating in the sky right now...?â
Hyeonuâs field of view was the third person perspective that the viewers often saw. He was looking at the scene from a step back.
-Hah, youâre currently flying.
- ??? Check if you have wings.????
-Then what exactly is going on right now?Give an explanation?
-Alley Leader, please explain.What is happening now?
Fortunately, the chat window was visible in Hyeonuâs field of view. He started to give a general explanation at the request of the viewers. âWhatâs the book I found? It was a quest clear condition.â
-Yes.
-I know that as well.
-I was watching the stream, so naturally, I know that.
âThe reward given was informationâinformation I need to get an item. After that, as you can see, there is the black screen and observation perspective. Do you understand?â
-Yes, Alley Leader, I understand.
-So you just need to watch directly.
-Yes.It isnât a big deal.
Viewers understood the situation after Hyeonuâs explanation. Then they said it wasnât a problem. These were the viewers of streamers.
***
After a while, people appeared in Hyeonuâs field of view. They were people chasing a middle-aged man. At first glance, the number of chasers seemed to exceed 100. The middle-aged warrior ran for a long time before stopping.
âMysterious Sky Demonic Senior! Iâve been waiting for today! Today is the last day for you!âThe man who was the leader of the pursuers shouted at the middle-aged warrior, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior.
âIs this man the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior?âHyeonu realized the identity of the middle-aged man being chased. However, he couldnât afford to think about it. It was because the situation in front of him started to become urgent.
âArenât you chasing after me because I am a member of the Mysterious Sky Sect? I know that you are from the Gucheon Secret Department,â the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior said.
The leader of the pursuers burst out laughing at the Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs words.âYou figured it out? Indeed, you are the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior. Youâre one of the best martial artists of this age. Thatâs right. Our Gucheon Secret Department was almost destroyed by your Mysterious Sky Demonic Sage. This time, it is time to get rid of a bud. You were targeted the moment it was known you were the bud of the Mysterious Sky Sect.â
The moment the leaderâs words were over, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior and the leader clashed. It was a clash between two people, but the other pursuers soon joined in the battle. Countless black blades of pure energy poured out from the Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs sword. They swept through some of the pursuers.
âMysterious Sky Range.â Hyeonu watched the battle between the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior and his pursuers like it was a movie. Was this how the viewers felt when they watched his battles? It was so exciting that he couldnât look away for a moment.
âOh, he realized it isnât possible?â
The leader raised his hands, and the pursuers who entered the battle quickly escaped. This was the right judgment. If the leader of the pursuers could fully handle the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior, then letting the other pursuers join was just useless damage. Instead, it was better for him to compete against the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior alone and save the power of his men.
âI almost fell for it.âHyeonu frowned at the thought. He was reminded of the bad things he had been through in other games in the past.
âLetâs concentrate. I have to memorize every conversation in this battle.â Hyeonu soon shook his head vigorously. Then he started to focus on the battle in front of him. He couldnât even see the chat window in front of him.
âAs expected of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior. Excellent. Iâll face you again.â The leader of the pursuers pulled out another sword and threw it to the ground. It was to have as few cumbersome things as possible.
âWould you have brought them if you couldâve killed me?â The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior didnât stop moving his mouth even in the midst of a crisis.No, the more he was at a disadvantage, the more vulgar words that he uttered.
âHe is lacking. He has no choice but to induce the other personâs carelessness,â Hyeonu commented inwardly.
This was the strategy of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior. Nevertheless, the leader of the pursuers was unaffected by the taunts. He didnât fall for it.
âLetâs compete slowly. I will see how long you can make fun of me with that mouth.âThe leader started his footwork and wielded his sword.
The distance between the two people narrowed in an instant. The battle between the two people was fierce. A dragon and tiger fighting each other, one was just as bad as the other, there was almost no difference, it was difficult to tell who was superior due to the similar skills, etcâit was a waste no matter which expression was used to describe it.
Once the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior attacked, the leader naturally blocked and counterattacked. The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior avoided the leaderâs counterattack with graceful movements and then attacked again. Even so, it couldnât be similar forever. In the first place, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior had health and stamina problems due to having been on the run for the last few days.
âThree times? No, there are around two left.âThe Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior calmly analyzed the situation. With his remaining strength, he would be able to use two or three more skills. After that, it was over.
âI have to watch my strength to see how I can win,â the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior thought. Energy flowed from the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior, and his movements became noticeably cautious.
The leader sensed it.He instinctively knew what the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior was aiming for.âThree times, three at most. After that, it is my victory.â The leader took a defensive stance. It was an attitude where he was determined to hold on no matter what.
However, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior was forced to move forward even if he knew this. The more that time was dragged out, the more unfavorable it was for him. âThere are close to 100 men left on his side. I have to finish it and get out of this place.â
The Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior scraped up his remaining internal energy and pushed it into his sword. He used footwork to approach the leader using his limited amount of energy left. The leaderâs sword deflected the Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs sword.
There was just one problem. The Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs attack was slightlyâjust ever so slightlyâstronger than the leader expected. This caused the leader to show a small gap, and the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior accurately broke through that gap. The Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs strength blew away half of the leaderâs body. In return, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Seniorâs sword failed to withstand the shock and split into two.
Just then, another group of people appeared.
âThey are...?â Hyeonuâs eyes opened so widely that they could not open any bigger.
