Chapter 172 – Still Hunted by Players
T-ring!
– Trigger a special event for players facing a major threat.
-Special Dungeon. Cynthia’s workshop is activated.
-Invade Cynthia’s workshop and defeat the traitorous puppeteer Cynthia and the corrupted paladin Helga.
– Special powers and rewards are given to those who defeat them.
A translucent window floated in front of the two.
After checking the information contained in it, the two looked at each other at a loss for words.
Doesn’t this mean that they will blatantly destroy Cynthia and Helga?
The fight isn’t over yet. Rather, they will target Cynthia and Helga more blatantly.
Can not help it. As long as it’s like this…
“Perhaps this fight will continue until it is decided.”
“Yes. I think so too. But I’m not afraid. Ah, I realized that there are times when we need judgment more than mercy in our lives.”
It’s grave. But there is a firm will in his eyes.
Cynthia listened to Helga and nodded her head.
He believed that with that promise, there would be nothing to hold on to his ankle.
“But I think we’ll have to retreat for now. Players will be flocking here soon. Everyone will treat us as monsters, so Helga-sama, get out of here quickly.”
“What about Cynthia?”
Cynthia speaks as if she is going to sacrifice herself.
Helga stopped Cynthia.
“I have no intention of getting involved in this fight either. This is clearly an alien world. Players are supposed to work together, but it’s preventing them from doing it. I’ll convince them. After I subdue them by force.”
“That’s…”
“This is the only way. If we’re not adamant to players who are greedy for power, they will surely become enemies who threaten us by any means necessary.”
Helga hesitated, but Cynthia was determined.
“I don’t intend to turn the players into enemies. There will be no casualties or deaths. All the players who were targeting Helga have been released to safety.”
It was then.
A flashing light crept in from outside the workshop.
Looking through the window, players are gathering in a secret workshop.
Players filled the area around the workshop in an instant.
Players blinded by achievement. Players who do not know the truth are gathering here one by one.
“Helga-sama. Go quickly. Take refuge in a place where you will be safe alone and send me a message.”
Said Cynthia in a spleen manner.
“Cynthia-sama. You’d rather retreat with me…”
“This is my studio. Master and I… And something really happened. I will protect this place. So, over there… Escape through the back door!”
When Cynthia said that, Helga raised the mana of light.
“Cynthia-sama is on the same boat as me. Although she is inferior to Cynthia-sama…”
Rurrrr!
Helga promised to fight together. However, the conversation between the two was interrupted when mysterious red flames and heat flowed through the window.
*
Haha! Burn with flames! The enormous prize and ability are mine! I am the man chosen by the system!”
The perpetrator who committed something close to arson.
A player who is a wizard type player or a player who wears a red robe and uses a staff studded with rubies.
He was receiving the envy and envy of the late players at a glance.
The flames he created were large and majestic enough to burn anything.
Since being swept away by that flame, Cynthia’s studio is in ashes, and if Cynthia doesn’t escape, she will 100% die.
“Now! Reward! Come! I… Huh?”
Laughing like a mad fanatic, he hesitated on the spot as he saw the flames suddenly die out.
And the same goes for the players who were there.
Suddenly, a mass of blue slime surged through the flames, pushing back the flames and rising abruptly.
The players who watched the scene looked dumbfounded for a moment and confirmed that the slime lump completely swallowed the fire.
The flame doesn’t go through.
I couldn’t understand why the slime appeared here to protect Cynthia’s workshop.
Since Cynthia or Helga are mimicking slime monsters, the system told them to deal with them.
A few players understood that and quickly distanced themselves.
If you’re picky, you can eat it like that.
There is a large front yard, so everyone spread out far from the studio.
Why is slime dangerous? There are many irregularities in attack and defense.
It is said that aiming for the slime’s nucleus with a ranged attack from as far away as possible is the standard strategy… But that big slime is a rice cake! I’m holding on, so I can’t help but be nervous.
Amidst the clouds of war… While the slime didn’t show much reaction… The players took their own stances.
However, this tension immediately turned into a war on each other.
It’s not a party that attacks step by step, it’s just players who are blinded by their exploits.
Players who rushed in to get the reward first… Like Seungnyang.
There is no such thing as cooperative spirit, and they do not know when, who, what will happen, or who will take the credit, so they keep an eye on each other.
“What are you doing! Focus on attacking the house, fools! There are Cynthia and Helga in there. They will defiantly play with us! Attack from a distance!”
He tried to burn Cynthia’s workshop with fire, but the wizard failed and shouted as if in a fit.
Did that sound give you confidence or did you think you should…
Or maybe they were overwhelmed by the frenzied spirit, but all the players who came to their senses started attacking the slime from a distance.
Dozens of spells, arrows and memorizations, even some kind of throwables made by alchemists…
Flames shoot up from all sides and lightning falls. Arrows rained down and sharp memorization penetrated. Bang! The projectile explodes with a sound, and the slime bodily fluids fall out.
Blocks of ice poured down and rocks crumbled. A crossbow made of a special alloy. From modern pistols to bazookas?
Indeed, various ranged attacks are rushing in to destroy the slime.
The additional players who arrived, even the reporters who rushed in to film this scene… All of them were stunned by the concentrated long-range attack.
At this point, no matter how resistant the damage is, the slime is not safe.
“Hee hee…!”
You are the strongest here.
Therefore, all achievements are his own.
However, the attack is fiercer than expected.
If you do this, you may lose your merit!
He chewed his lips, trying to contain his impatience.
However, the thought of depriving him of merit weighed on his reason.
‘I can’t share this opportunity to become a top player!’
“Keuh…! Die! Everyone burns to death!”
The wizard, who did not want to lose his attack, was the first to cover the workshop with flames and squeezed mana.
It didn’t matter what other people did. Squeezing out the last mana, he created a storm of flames.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Ah! What are the flames again!”
“Save… Give me… Kheuk…!”
Some players were engulfed in flames, but he didn’t care at all and increased the size of the flames.
You have to defeat Cynthia and Helga here to go up to a higher place.
“Finish! Die! Everyone but me… Burn and die!”
A red glow appeared in his eyes.
Realizing something was wrong, the players spaced out to move away from the flames. But it’s already too late.
“Hell…! Explosion!”
The moment he shouted the command. Around Cynthia’s studio, heat as if alive was overflowing.
“Crazy… Aaaaa…!”
“My body is burning… Turn it off…”
Players are dying.
A player is killing a player.
However, the real culprit felt the joy and gathered mana even to the strength he had been suckling in, further raising the flame.
“What is this…”
“Kheuk… Huh…!”
The latecomers who invaded Cynthia’s studio without knowing this situation also faced a disaster of being engulfed in flames.
There was no player to stop him here.
Top players are now unable to participate due to mysterious battles.
Next, the top players are planning a strategy by sending intelligence agents to avoid being attacked by Cynthia and Helga.
In other words, there is no player who can beat himself, the top player who jumped into this position first.
Here he is the king himself!
He wielded his flame like a tyrant, reducing everything but himself to black ashes.
T-ring!
-Murderer. You massacred players…
“Shut up! It is to dominate. Khehe… Kuhhahahaha!”
The system alerted, but he was already in a state of congestion.
Before I came here, the enhancement potion and my usual personality problems got entangled and amplified to the bad side.
“Yes! This is it! I am the strongest. Everyone burn!”
All but one meter radius around where he is standing is burning.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the front yard of Cynthia’s studio was literally hell.
T-ring!
T-ring!
T-ring!
A warning beep at him. At the same time…
T-ring!
-Killed a player.
-Absorbs part of the strength and part of the stats of the defeated player.
The more players he killed, the stronger he got every minute.
“Kuaaaaa’aaaaa’8a’aa’89! This is it!810… If this is the case, even the top player is my prey… Hell… Explosion!”
He squeezed mana again to reduce everything here to ashes with this blow.
Deed Dede Deuk!
