Ep.166 Slowly

[When will Mango Stick do another terror attack?]

I’m a newbie who just joined the fan cafe,

I’ve watched everything up until now on YouTube replay…

I want to enjoy it in real-time too! Why aren’t they doing it? I want to watch the terror attack live too!!!

=[Comments]=

[But seriously, it’s about time for them to do it again]

[I’ve been searching for overseas videos lately and there’s no one like Mango who does terror attacks while talking… ]

ㄴ [Did someone actually broadcast a terror attack before?]

ㄴ [There are hardly any, Mango is just irreplaceable hahahahhaha]

[I cried because I wanted to see Stardus vs. Egostic]

[I think there’s still about a month left before they do it again, give up]

ㄴ [There’s no way!!!!!!!]

[Just keep waiting]

[It’s on now]

ㄴ [Liar]

ㄴ [It’s true;;;]

ㄴ [Oh wait, it really is on, let’s gooooooo hahahaha]

[Egostic’s broadcast is on hahahahahahahaha]

Hurry and go go go now

=[Comment]=

[Yay finally!!!]

[Haha this is great, Yas entrance hahahaha]

[Oh no, I’m at work, this is not good!!!!]

ㄴ[We’re projecting this on the conference room screen for our boss to see, it’s so awesome hahahaha]

ㄴ[Did our boss just get mango bombed? hahahahahah]

[Damn it, I’m going to buy beer right now hahahaha]

[Hello, this is YakoStick, entering the chat hahahaha]

[I’m watching right now, the sky is so beautiful, perfect weather for terrorism hahahaha]

***

A wide expanse of blue sky.

A place where warm sunlight and cool breeze blow.

In front of that building, I greeted the camera.

“Hello. This is Egostic!”

[Egostic is here!!!!!!!!]

[Mango Union members who rushed in as soon as the Mango Stick notification appeared are the best hahahaha]

[I got a legendary drop while eating cheese sticks, Egostic is so lucky hahahahahaha]

[Forget everything else and just watch the broadcast, don’t stop me]

[Why does he always come late?! Come faster next time!!!]

The chat window was still lively.

As I checked it casually, my lips unknowingly turned upwards.

After finishing all the preparations, I finally turned on the broadcast, feeling refreshed.

With a slight smile, I spoke.

“Yes. It’s been a while, everyone! It’s time for Egostic’s terrorism in the daytime!”

As I finished speaking, the sound effects of explosions could be heard.

Of course, I had detonated the bomb that I had prepared in advance.

Citizens screaming and running away.

In the middle of the wide street, I stood alone with my arms spread wide open.

Oh, well, not exactly alone. Eun-wol was there too.

Anyway, I pointed to the building behind me and said, “And of course! I have an explosive device in my hand! If I press it, all the buildings behind me will go boom! Yes, if you want to see something like this, you should definitely come, Stardus. I’ll be waiting. Please come quickly!”

That was all I said.

Well, anyway, even if I said this, Stardus probably wouldn’t come, but I had to lay the groundwork. Act like I didn’t know anything.

[As soon as the broadcast started, they’re looking for Stardus hahahaha]

[Ah hahahaha, Egostic can’t make it without Stardus hahahaha]

[There’s a reason why the Stardus fans at the Stardus Fan Cafe requested a notification for Egostic broadcast hahahaha. If Egostic appears, Stardus will appear too hahahaha]

[Follow me, his main wife is the Stardust lady]

[Since he fought Shadow Walker last time, it’s only right for him to face Stardus this time hahahaha]

As expected, the viewers didn’t know anything. They naturally thought Stardus would come.

I chuckled and looked away from the chat window.

I’m sorry, but it’s not Stardus who’s coming, but some strange American.

Anyway, after notifying them, I checked the situation again.

Me standing on a building and floating in the air in front of it. And the chaos that spread out before me.

As soon as I appeared, even if it was off-limits, I wondered if people and cars had disappeared from this place where I could feel the cool breeze while floating in midair.

At first glance, it looks like I’m alone, but of course, that’s not true. Eun Wol and Choi Sehee are waiting nearby. In other words, at first glance, I look like I’m alone.

And of course, someone will come.

As expected, my prediction was correct.

Before long, someone came flying towards me from a distance.

“Hmm? Someone is flying over there. Is it Stardus?”

I said so, knowing it.

But right after I spoke, someone who clearly wasn’t Stardus appeared.

“Oh, it doesn’t seem to be Stardus.”

As soon as I finished speaking, a woman flying in the distance was captured on camera.

She had gray hair fluttering in the wind, an exotic appearance that definitely didn’t look Korean, and a commanding gray military-style outfit.

Flying through the air with sharp eyes, she was finally Metel, whom I had been waiting for.

Yes, I had been waiting for her. Nice to meet you.

Of course, it would be strange if I already knew that at this point, so I just shook my head as if I didn’t know who she was.

She landed a little way away from me.

Flying down from a rock like a superboard, she swept her gray hair back and asked me in English with a cold voice, “Are you Exotic?”

So I naturally answered her in Korean, “Um… who are you?”

Perhaps she was wearing a translator, she replied briefly, “My name is Metel.”

Then she held out one hand and created pointed rocks like a circle behind her back.

In the same posture, she looked at me confidently and said, “I’m Metel, the S-class hero of the United States. I’ve come to capture you.”

Silence for a moment.

Intentionally creating a static atmosphere, I opened my mouth before it became awkward.

“…What?”

My bewildered response.

With that, the chat suddenly started to heat up.

[?]

[Who is that brat anyway?]

[Where is Stardus!!!]

[What, where did our Stardus go and who is this English-speaking nerd who popped up]

[Wait, why did an S-class hero from the US come to Korea?]

[What’s going on right now?]

[Fuck, why did an S-class hero suddenly appear LOL]

[This is ridiculous]

People are bewildered.

Whether or not, Metel glared at me with cold eyes, then chuckled.

“Well, surrender obediently. There’s no chance you, who is an S-class hero, can defeat me.”

“Haha, I’m a little confused since you suddenly came and said nonsense. Judging from the name, you’re some unknown guy called Metal, right?”

I responded to Metel’s provocation with the same attitude.

Her expression twisted at my words, then she burst out laughing as if she was perplexed.

“Well, I’ve heard before that you’re good at making fun of people in the name of an A-class villain.”

She walked towards me with her high heels clacking.

“Stop right there.”

I said that and lifted the detonator in my other hand.

“If you take one more step, the building behind you will explode immediately. Obviously, it’s not hard to guess what will happen to the people inside, right?”

As usual, I held the hostage and threatened her.

If it were Stardus as usual, she would have stopped with a face-saving move that put people before anything else.

However, as expected.

When I finished speaking, she ignored me and continued walking forward.

And at the same time, rocks rose from the ground toward me.

In perfect timing, I teleported to the sky above.

No, she just attacked me recklessly.

Anyway, I was up in the sky.

While watching the meteor coming towards me while sitting on a rock beneath me, I muttered in disbelief to the camera, “No, this hero captured a hostage, but they are attacking recklessly.”

At that moment, I heard Seo-eun’s voice in my ear, “Da-in, everyone inside the building has evacuated.”

“Oh really? Then I guess it’s okay to blow it up now. Well, it’s her own fault,” I said, pressing the detonator.

There was a loud explosion, and at the same time, there was a noise from behind. The bombs I planted inside the building exploded, causing it to collapse.

As I looked at the many rocks flying toward me, I teleported again. “Phew, that was close. I’ll have to suffer a bit,” I thought to myself.

As I teleported to a different location, rocks flew toward me as if they were waiting for me to appear. I teleported again, and the rocks rose in the same spot where I had just been. “Oh, dear! This is getting dangerous,” I said, narrowly avoiding the rocks flying toward me.

As she shouted at me with confidence, “Ha! You’re running away like a rat. Let’s see how long you can last!” I dodged every attack by a hair’s breadth as if I could be caught at any moment. “Phew… pretending to be confused like this isn’t easy,” I thought.

That’s right. I was intentionally pretending to be confused and barely avoiding attacks, measuring the distance and teleporting near the rocks on purpose, just to make it seem like Metel was solely focused on me and to make her think she could catch me soon.

And that’s how I distracted Metel.

Flash-

Eun-wol was quietly preparing a powerful herbal medicine behind me.

Quietly, while Metel was completely unaware.
