Hyeonu looked down at Jamie Moore and asked, âYou canât?â
âI canât do it anymore.â Jamie Moore lay flat on the ground like his stomach was cut. He truly didnât want to do it anymore. His motivation had disappeared. It had been swept away by Hyeonuâs skills like an open sea with no end in sight.
-It is understandable.
-If I were him, I wouldâve already given up.
-It is the established theory in academics that he shouldâve given up before Alley Leaderâs turn came.
-It shouldâve stopped at Mascherano.
-By the way, what does it feel like to be blocked like this? Wouldnât he feel helpless?
The viewers felt sorry when seeing Jamie Mooreâs appearance. Even just watching it was painful. They couldnât get a sense of how frustrated the person involved would be.
Hyeonu silently examined Jamie Moore for a long time before spreading open his palm.
âFive minutes. Just give me five more minutes, and Iâll reward you,â Hyeonu made a very good offer to Jamie Moore.
-A reward? What reward?
-It isnât money, right?
-Jamie Moore has a lot of money.
-Then what? An item?
-It could also be a skill book. This is Alley Leaderâs level.
-The item must be at least rare-rated... By the way, are there any items in Alley Leaderâs possession that Jamie Moore can use?
The attention of the viewers naturally shifted from being sympathetic toward Jamie Moore to Hyeonuâs reward. It was because the expectations for Alley Leader far outweighed their sympathy for Jamie Moore. Jamie Moore didnât say much. He just kept staring at Hyeonu. His eyes were begging to be told what the reward was.
âThe reward is a secret. I just promise you that it is a reward worthy of my name,â Hyeonu did not explain the reward. There was no reason for it. It was just that...
âIt is no fun if I tell him.â
The viewers who didnât know Hyeonuâs thoughts were busy expressing their own thoughts.
-This is Alley Leaderâs coin.
-Coin price increase, letâs go!!!!
-Fight for five minutes, and he will give his heart. If this is the case...
-Then he has to go right away.
-It is terrifying just thinking about it.
The viewers focused on the worst results rather than the best. It was because that was more interesting.
âNow the choice is up to Jamie.â Hyeonu reached out a hand to Jamie Moore.
âUm...â Jamie Moore groaned. It was troubling. Should he endure the pain for five minutes to receive an unknown reward? Or should he give up on this and that?
âFive minutes... Letâs put up with it.â Jamie Moore eventually chose the thorny path. Ultimately, he coveted the unknown reward.
âIâll do it.â Jamie Moore grabbed Hyeonuâs hand tightly.
âYou made a good choice,â Hyeonu said. Then he pulled Jamie Mooreâs hand and lifted the latter up.
âDraw your sword.â Hyeonu stepped away from Jamie Moore.
Jamie Moore let out a small sigh and put his hands on his two swords. âLetâs just do one attack.â
He didnât want success. He just wanted to give it a try once.
This was his goalâto wield the sword properly just once. Then it would be cool.
The two swords were drawn with a clear sound.
âUm...?â Jamie Moore saw Hyeonu and made an expression like it was absurd. Hyeonu didnât draw a weapon. If it were just this, it would be understandable as he had already experienced Hyeonu using the gauntlets. Despite this, there was something in Hyeonuâs hand that was purple.
âClaw?â Jamie Moore thought.
Hyeonu recreated the appearance of the protagonist of a Hollywood movie.
âI remember seeing it before...â
Jamie Moore was one of Alley Leaderâs big fans, so he naturally remembered that Hyeonu had shown something like this. If it had been any other situation, he wouldâve smiled happily. However, it was a problem now. It was because he was the one who had to deal with Alley Leader, who currently looked like this.
âDonât panic too much. I am going to use a minimal amount of magic power. Can you see it? It is blurry here,â Hyeonu kindly explained to Jamie Moore, who was standing still.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
-Thatâs right. The color of the pure energy is blurry.
-It looks black at first.
-It seems like a few pieces of equipment were removed...
-If it isnât removed, then his real magic power control must be at a crazy level.
-It isnât easy to use it that weakly. It is as difficult as writing hard.
The viewers acknowledged Hyeonuâs words. They couldnât help doing so because of what they saw. The claw Hyeonu made wasnât as clear as pure energy.
At this moment, Jamie Moore rushed toward Hyeonu. It was a surprise attack that burst out at an unexpected moment. Jamie Mooreâs two swords, which had dark red sword energy, flew toward Hyeonuâs face.
Hyeonu didnât panic and reached out his hand toward one of the approaching swords. Jamie Mooreâs sword stopped in midair. He couldnât move it forward any further. This was because it was sandwiched by the blades that had risen by Hyeonuâs hand. Jamie Moore tried to break the blades by injecting more magic power into his sword, but it was useless.
Suddenly, the magic power that was covering Hyeonuâs hand disappeared, and all of it was concentrated on the four blades. In other words, the strength of the blades had been enhanced significantly. That wasnât all. Jamie Moore tried to pull the sword out, but Hyeonu twisted his body to block the attempts.
Nevertheless, Jamie Moore didnât give up. He swung the sword in his other hand and pressed Hyeonu. Jamie Mooreâs attempt had unexpected consequences. His other sword ended up in the same position. Both swords were caught by the blades that sprang up from Hyeonuâs hand, making it impossible to move them.
-Is this adjusting to Jamie Moore?
-He mustâve thought hard in advance?
-You donât think it was actually planned, right?
-Wow, this is a bit harsh. If this state is maintained for five minutes...
-It will be hard to get the reward.
The viewers were taken aback by what they were seeing in front of them. It was the same as before. Jamie Moore was determined to do everything he could.
Hyeonu lightly blocked Jamie Mooreâs steps. This didnât mean pushing by force. Hyeonu never moved first. Every time Jamie Moore made a move, Hyeonu moved accordingly.
âI canât do it anymore.â
Jamie Moore moved his swords around for a long time before finally letting go of his swords. Once again, he declared his surrender.
Hyeonu grabbed the two swords before they fell to the ground and asked, âReally? You wonât regret it?â
âYes, I have no regrets.â Jamie Moore couldnât afford to regret it. He was still in a daze. Even at this moment, the feeling of helplessness was soaring like crazy.
âI understand.â Hyeonu nodded, approached Jamie Moore, and placed the swords in their sheath. Then with his left hand, he grabbed Jamie Mooreâs right hand and dragged him away.
âHere is the promised reward.â Hyeonu stretched out the right hand that had been placed in his inventory. Something fell from Hyeonuâs hand.
-A reward? Is it really being given?
-Has five minutes already passed?
-It was around five minutes? It was because he was clowning around for a while.
-Wow, that is terrible. If you think about what happened in those five minutes...
-It is deserved.
-Jamie Moore really deserves the reward.
However, the reaction from the viewers was fleeting. The thing that fell into Jamie Mooreâs hand hit each other and released a sharp metallic sound.
-What is this?
-No... Is that a gift?
-Wow, his personality has gone crazy.
-I donât think this is something a person would do...
-This is a bit...
âDoes he have that taste?â
âI havenât seen it before...â
This time, it wasnât just the viewers. The daily instructors watching from a distance also groaned. The item given by Hyeonu was that amazing.
âIs this it?â Jamie Moore asked as he looked at the item on the palm of his hand.
âYouâll know once you look at the item information. It is a very good item.â Hyeonu gestured toward Jamie Mooreâs palm with his chin.
âI understand.â Jamie Moore nodded heavily. Everyone reacted this way due to the form of the item that Hyeonu gave Jamie Moore.
-It is a good item?
-Handcuffs?
-No matter how good, handcuffs are a bit...
-It is terrible.
The item Hyeonu gave Jamie Moore was in the shape of handcuffs. It was an appearance that would embarrass everyone.
âItem Information.â Jamie Moore carefully checked the item information.
[Shackles of Twisted Punishment]
[Originally, it had the function of restraining physical abilities and blocking magic power, but a genius black magician twisted the function.
Rating: Unique
Restrictions: 450 strength, 250 magic power.
Effect: All stats + 75, âInverted Punishmentâ is available.
Inverted Punishment: All stats will be increased by 20%.]
âEhhh...?â Jamie Moore checked the itemâs information and looked flustered. The item was too good. He had no comparable item except for the two swords he was holding.
âIt is too good.â
These handcuffsâno, this bracelet could make him much stronger than he was now.
âIt is an item that is hard to get even with money...â
In the first place, accessories were very rare. One that was unique-rated was an even rarer find.
-What is it, what?
-What is it? What is it really?
-It must be at least unique-rated to show this type of reaction.
-A unique item? Wouldnât it be very expensive if Jamie Moore can wear it?
The viewers discovered the identity of Jamie Mooreâs items like a ghost. There was no way they couldnât know. The only item that could surprise Jamie Moore like this had to be unique-rated. Rare items could never cause that type of reaction. It was because Jamie Moore had enough money to buy rare-rated items.
âIt is a unique item,â Jamie Moore said while waving the blood-stained handcuffs.
âIt is ridiculously good. The performance is this good even with these stat limits? This is a rare find. In addition, it is a bracelet that fits on only one arm. If it is sold for cash... I have no idea how high a price it would fetch.â Jamie Moore expressed his honest feelings.
It was exactly as he said.
-It is to that extent?
-Then it mustâve been hard.
-It is a unique-rated item that is hard to get even if you struggle to complete quests. However, I acknowledge it.
-Sweet days come only after hardships.
-If it is that hard, he should have one item.
The viewers clapped. No one was jealous. They knew Jamie Moore had suffered greatly for it.
-By the way, what are the effects?
-Iâd like to know the effects as well.
-Quickly share it. Go go go.
The congratulations of the viewers were brief. The demands poured out immediately after for him to disclose the item information.
âCan I reveal it?â Jamie Moore asked Hyeonu. This was basic courtesy to the person who gave him the item.
Hyeonu nodded silently. It had to be made public.
âThis way, it will be publicized more widely.â
A man who lavishly gave unique itemsâ¦
Hyeonu was hoping that the news about how he was such a man would spread to all types of communities. Upon receiving the unspoken permission, Jamie Moore released the item information.
âAll stats are increased by 75, and there is a unique skill that increases the stats by an additional 20%.â
-It is good.
-Iâm envious.
-It is truly a unique item. At this level, it is almost top class.
The viewers were impressed and envious as well. Just then, Hyeonu reversed the mood.
âBy the way... that item is a set item.â Hyeonu took out another handcuff from his inventory and waved it.
âLetâs work hard in the future.â Hyeonu tapped Jamie Moore on the shoulder.
Jamie Moore couldnât even smile at the news that it was a set item.
-......
-The devil, the devil...
-Satan is still on leave today.
