Chapter 994: Supplementary Story 55

Supplementary Story 55

“Yes yes yes, I understand.”

Kalen bowed his head toward the empty space.

“What is this about? Tell me if it is hard. I’ll take you off the battlefield.”

John Blake saw this absurd sight as he was passsing by and approached Kalen. In his eyes, Kalen was just crazy.

“That’s not it, John Blake. I was talking to him.”

Kalen shook his hands fiercely at John Blake.

“With Hyeonu? What did he say?”

John Blake became very interested when he heard ‘Hyeonu.’

“Soon, the adventurers will rush in a group.”

Kalen submissively conveyed Hyeonu’s words to John Blake. There was no need to hide it. It was because from the very beginning, Hyeonu asked him to pass it onto John Blake.

“The adventurers? To me? I haven’t seen such bold people,” John Blake wondered with a puzzled expression.

The adventurers were busy fleeing when they saw him.

During the last battle, there wasn’t a single adventurer who properly fought him. Only Heizer stood in his way.

“It will happen in the future,” Kalen replied in a confident voice.

“Does this mean that he will move the adventurers?”

“That’s right. You’ve probably seen them a few times. The adventurers fighting near Heizer.”

“Are you referring to those monks and paladins?”

John Blake understood at once who Kalen was talking about. There were always the same faces next to Heizer.

“Right, I am talking about them. They will be the first to run to you, John Blake. Please deal with them in moderation. You must not kill them.”

“That isn’t difficult... but why should I do so?”

“People say they don’t know how big a role that Heizer is playing. That is why we should show them.”

“It is a plausible reason.”

John Blake nodded and agreed.

“For now, I just have to do this.”

John Blake put his helmet back on and left.

“Be prepared,” Kim Seokjung opened his mouth as he glanced at the members of the New World guild.

“Don’t overdo it and don’t die. Just remember that,” Gang Junggu added briefly.

“Understood.”

“By the way, can we kill him?”

“Honestly, it doesn’t seem likely, but... let’s give it a try.”

The members of New World looked at the situation pessimistically rather than hopefully. The black knight, John Blake, felt like an insurmountable wall.

“Since when did we do things because we thought it would work? It just worked out.”

Gang Junggu casually ignored the complaints of the guild members.

‘Their worries...

It was a secret deal. They would break badly, but no one would die.

“Let’s go cheaply without talking nonsense.” Kim Seokjung frowned and jumped off the walls.

“Did you hear? Hyung-nim wants to go.” Gang Junggu followed Kim Seokjung and jumped off the wall.

“Oh, my...”

“The hyung-nims are older, but they are too adventurous.”

“Enjoy a bit of adventure in real life.”

“If we die this time, when will we recover the experience points?”

The members of New World sighed and followed after the two men.

“Hyung-nim, Hyeonu asked us to fight, but... will we be able to hold on for 10 minutes?” Gang Junggu ran alongside Kim Seokjung and asked him a question.

“It is up to John Blake.”

If John Blake fought like he did against Heizer, then they would be able to hold out moderately. If he used a bit more power than that...

‘We will be pushed badly.’

However, that couldn’t happen. It was because Hyeonu would’ve spoken to the other side appropriately as well.

“So we just have to fight without any worries.”

Kim Seokjung’s body shot forward like a bullet.

***

New World’s John Blake raid was streamed live on A-World. Viewers and streamers watched the raid of New World. This time, Hyeonu was just like them. He watched the raid and communicated with the viewers.

“I’m jealous. I was originally supposed to be in that position,” Hyeonu muttered with a disappointed expression.

-That is true. Boss monster raids were originally Alley Leader’s specialty.

-He also specializes in trying it one time and finishing it at once. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But it is really awkward. It is just a matter of watching the raid like this.

-If you had been there, would you have killed the black knight? Or would you not be able to kill it?

“Let’s see? I don’t know just by looking at it with my eyes. Shouldn’t I fight it once to find out?”

-Fight?

-You really don’t know about a new boss monster until you meet it in person.

-It is meaningless even if you listen to information for 100 days ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

Hyeonu didn’t fall for the viewers’ provocation. He only put forward legitimate arguments.

‘I will never win.’

The identity of the black knight was John Blake. He was a monster Hyeonu couldn’t defeat even if Hyeonu died and resurrected again.

-Run away!!

-They can’t die!

-Grab the aggro! Buy some time to retreat!!

Just then, the players in the video fled toward the city walls.

“Ah! During the time when I was chatting and playing with you, half of the New World guild members have left the battlefield. It means they have no divine power and potions left, right?”

-They have been fighting for over an hour and there have been no effective hits.

-It is an undead right? I don’t think it is affected by divine power.

-Even if the attribute compatibility is good, it won’t work if the level difference is huge.

-By the way, isn’t the black knight too strong? If New World is like this, then we obviously don’t have to watch the rest.

The viewers saw it and expressed concern.

It was because the boss monster was too strong.

‘These people?’

Hyeonu laughed. The viewers’ words were so ridiculous.

“Everyone, boss monsters for raids were originally like this. They aren’t pushovers. Since I kill them well... does it seem easier?”

This wasn’t said because the black knight was John Blake. Originally, new boss monsters were always strong.

“Are you not counting Edward and the drake? If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have been killed for at least a month.”

-I can’t refute it.

-Even in the main scenario before that, I spent months being blocked by the last boss monster...

-It is an old memory. There was a drake bus a few months ago...

-I thought he was an outstanding rookie when he killed Edward alone in the main scenario. It turned out that he was meleegod ㅋㅋㅋ

The viewers weren’t offended by Hyeonu’s seemingly angry words. It was because Hyeonu’s words were the truth. Rather, they found the nostalgia of the past from Hyeonu’s words.

“It feels like it is completely coming to an end. The raid of New World has failed. Now the important thing is how they can go back alive.”

John Blake was hard to deal with even with perfect power. In such a situation, a dozen people were gone, so there was no way they could be his opponent. The players of New World retreated one by one toward the city walls. In the end, only two people remained: Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung.

-Those two can’t escape?

-Even if one person flees, the remaining one will die within seconds. Then the one who ran away will die.

-If the two of them die like this, the damage to New World will be pretty great.

-I think it would’ve been better for a few guild members to die instead.

“They would’ve done that if they were calm, but... is that the personality of the two hyung-nims? They would’ve told their guild members to go.”

-Lool it is right. Brother Sijong takes care of his younger brothers.

-There is no escaping for a man.

-They said they were the strongest, but... the opponent is stronger ㅠㅠ

-It looks like they will be logged out soon.

It happened as the viewers were predicting the unfortunate future of Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu... From behind the two men, a knight in colorful armor rushed quickly. The moment Heizer appeared, he stood in front of Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung and blocked John Blake’s sword.

-It is miraculous timing!

-The protagonist itself.

-Originally, this was the role of our Alley Leader ㅋㅋ

-This proves how strong Heizer is.

-The northern city would’ve been robbed already without Heizer.

Heizer continued the battle with John Blake in a different manner from the first day, as if he had become accustomed to it. Meanwhile, Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu quickly left the battlefield.

“Heizer barely managed to block him today. It wouldn’t be strange for him to be pushed at any time,” Hyeonu expressed his thoughts after seeing the raid.

-Will he be pushed soon? It is over when Heizer collapses.

-It is a fight between NPCs so it won’t last long. It might be different if Heizer miraculously gains enlightenment.

-I think there needs to be two or three more NPCs as strong as Heizer? For example, Lebron or the emperor?

-Or perhaps Raccoon can also win against the black knight. In any case, the north will be turned into a wasteland at this rate.

Heizer was inferior to John Blake, so the viewers’ words weren’t wrong.

—If it wasn’t all acting. Unlike the viewers, Hyeonu didn’t care about the north in the slightest. It was a noisy place only in appearance. Nothing really changed.

‘When will he come out?’

Instead, Hyeonu thought of one person. It was someone he would call using Heizer as bait.

‘Alexander!’

***

“Is there anything to report?” Alexander stopped as he was walking through a dense forest. Then he fixed his gaze on a nearby tree.

A man emerged from the tree.

“Yes.”

He got down on one knee toward Alexander.

“What’s going on?”

“The imperial prince is struggling in the war.”

“That guy? Is there anyone in the north who can do that?”

Alexander’s eyes widened like he was surprised.

“It is an unidentified undead. He overwhelmed the imperial prince using just swordsmanship and a bit of magic power operation. There were no special techniques. He is supposedly a death knight...”

“A death knight?”

Alexander frowned and interrupted the man.

‘He is talking nonsense.’

Alexander knew quite a few things that the man didn’t know. For example, Edward had undead called the guardians and they had a strength that was incomparable to any other undead.

‘Yet even the guardians can’t pressure Heizer that much.’’

The strengths of the guardians were overwhelming physical abilities and magic power that was more intense than humans. However, it was hard to say that their swordsmanship and magic power had reached the peak.

“The ones that Edward treats as his limbs aren’t at that level. It is definitely a different guy. Maybe... he might not be an undead.”

The one Alexander thought of was Edward. Edward had developed every day and seemed able to do so.

‘However, his swordsmanship didn’t seem so deep.’

Yet thinking back on it, Edward seemed more adept at handling magic power than swordsmanship.

‘Then who is it?’

Numerous names passed through Alexander’s mind. They were the names of people who were skilled with the sword. However, few of them could overwhelm Heizer. If there was...

‘Lebron and John Blake.’

These two were the most suspicious. At the same time, their whereabouts were also unknown. He knew that they were both in the demon world, but it wouldn’t be strange if they left the demon world.

‘Why is he bringing Heizer to the battlefield and pressuring him with the two of them?’

Questions rose one after another.

‘Is he trying to put me back in trouble?’

Along with this, Hyeonu’s intentions became clearer.

‘There is not a chance.’

He couldn’t go back. Absolutely not.

“The black knight is definitely one of two people, Duke Blake or Duke Lebron. Additionally, see if Heizer has a desire for the throne.”

“Yes, Alexander.”

The man bowed his head and suddenly disappeared.

Left alone, Alexander resumed the walk again as if nothing had happened.

‘Son, the throne is yours.’
