Episode 17. Youre Not Good Enough (1)

The Shining and the Unification of Heaven and Earth.

The battle for world supremacy took place in a rift.

The winner was the Shining.

[Shining succeeded in the Count Ascuras Henchman raid]

[Player Rankings No. 2 Rocks finally hits the 400 level plateau only two levels behind No. 1 Skar].

[Experts , Jesse Heinness played a big role.]

The difference between the two guilds was Count Ascuras henchman.

A level 390 demonic monster.

Demons are notorious for their ailments.

Not many players could stand up to Count Ascuras henchman.

Shining, who had four top ten ranked players, was able to withstand it, but the relatively average leveled Tian Hai Tongil could not.

Hmph.

Shining defended his title of Worlds Strongest.

However, Guild Master Roxs expression did not show any signs of joy, as what awaited him when he emerged from the rift was a development he hadnt anticipated in the slightest.

What was that? What does everyone think?

Base camp, the masters room.

Four men and four women were gathered there, including Rox.

Project screens filled the walls.

The black man, watching the video play, said.

You wouldnt know if you asked me, would you, Rox?

Dmitri, ranked eighth in the player rankings.

He was wasting this precious time.

Just an hour ago, hed been rolling around in the cracks.

What was this meeting about?

Rox, a guy like you who has girls lining up for him doesnt know my desperation. How did I get this date, how did I manage to squeeze it in with my busy life, and youre going to make me waste all that for a guy like him?

Dmitris anger was directed at the man on the screen.

A silver-haired man in a long coat.

With a wave of his hand, walls and pillars sprang up in the square.

Camilla, the seventh-ranked player, spoke up.

I dont know Im not much of an archer.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

Bing-bing-bing.

She twisted her long, aged red hair into a bebe.

Then she leaned back against the couch.

You think youre good enough to make us care? Really?

Rox didnt answer.

It wasnt because he was amazing.

It was just annoying.

I dont know. Jealousy, maybe?

Jealous? Youre also greedy, my boss~

Rox, its not uncommon for the media to make a big deal out of an insignificant newcomer. They want ratings, they want hits, they want to make a star out of him.

Dmitry was right.

Ive lost count of the number of players whove burst onto the scene and then disappeared without a sound.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of players have died in the rift after starting out as if they were something.

But why did it happen on the same day?

Well, it was an amazing appearance.

Starting with that outfit.

But it was just that.

It was a no-brainer.

No. 2 in the player rankings, Rox.

Hed seen worse than that, including the #1 ranked Skrull.

Still, a shapeshifting sword was an interesting weapon to use.

Anything else?

Just then, Camilla and Dmitri stood up.

Weve just rented the entire hotel lounge, non-refundable. We need to make this date work, man.

Im in, too, boss, dont be so sensitive.

Bye-bye, sweetheart.

While Rox was distracted, the two of them ran off.

Now theres only one man left.

Jesse Heinness, fourth in the player rankings.

?

Rox cocked his head. The same Jesse Hynes was staring at the man on the screen, and it wasnt the same Jesse he usually saw.

Yes, just a few hours ago.

It was a glint in his eye that hadnt been there when hed been hunting monsters in the rift.

Rox asked cautiously.

Why, do you think you know something, Jesse?

Well, its very curious.

Curious? Im more curious that youre saying that.

Youre telling me youve noticed something?

I asked, hoping to hear why.

He didnt answer.

Jesse was too busy to answer.

What skill is that?

Class, mage.

One of the most common classes, but Jesse was special.

Among players of her class.

A class quest that only one person could do.

Not that even he would notice.

In any case, interest in Ho-Yeol didnt look like it was going to die down for a while.

Especially in Korea, no matter what channel you turned on, there was talk about the mysterious player.

And such an atmosphere.

It was the best time for the devil to move.

[Counts Citadel].

[Suitable Level : Lv.400~450]

[Collapse Progress : 100 per cent].

What the hell, it was definitely 90% just now!

Everyone, get out of here!

Get as far away as you can!

Collapse degree: 100 per cent.

The rift collapsed and a castle was created in reality.

The vampire, Count Ascura.

He had appeared in Russia.

The collapse was sudden.

The screen immediately switched and the anchor broke the news.

A new crack had been updated.

The worst fears had come true.

Guilds from all over the world are gathering around the citadel. Shinings Guild Master Rox has revealed that he plans to enter the citadel without delay.

However, Ho Yeol had also anticipated this development.

-The vampire can give away his power through blood. Of course, they can also reclaim their power. So dont let your guard down until the end.

So there was no defence.

Sweaty bodies.

The stacks of papers on the table once again.

And the status window.

[Name: Grandfell Claudi Arpheus Romeo]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 100]

[Stats]

Strength: 27 / Dexterity: 33 / Magic: 51 / Luck: 2

[Points held: 0]

The evidence was everywhere.

To stay afloat and not sink.

A swan never rests its legs for a moment.

Reading.

I tried to build up my knowledge of the arcana.

There had been a gap of twelve years.

But even I could easily recognise the gravity of the situation: its common sense: the defender has the advantage in a siege.

Plus, it must be psychologically debilitating, right?

Count Asquiras citadel.

Just looking at it made my heart swell.

If we get lost, well be in trouble.

Why dont we send out a scouting party first?

No, its not a foe worthy of dividing the main body.

The gate was wide open.

As if chip particles were always welcome.

Thankfully, most of the players were waiting at the entrance.

And again-

But I was moving forward.

Was I not overwhelmed by its grandeur?

Fortunately or unfortunately, I wasnt.

The Claudie family mansion of my black history.

It was too vast to be compared to this castle.

I looked around the citadels interior and said.

Its cramped, barely a place to hide. Ascura.

I added in a confident tone.

But even this is too much for you.

Did he even hear my voice?

Woof.

A statue in the garden began to move.

Its big. At least ten metres, this one.

The giant monster statue had come to life and was coming towards me.

But I didnt run or dodge.

I just stood there, frozen in place.

I stared at the statues face.

Then I opened my mouth.

The material, the texture, the depth, and the form of this statue are poor. You put this piece of crap in the garden to show off.

So said the demanding aesthete of the Grand Palais.

Yes, I agreed.

I dont know about anything else, but at least the materials.

A few walls and columns Ive built and broken.

Stone statues carved out of rock.

Thats a common material for me, too.

It means I dont have to do much to explore and interfere.

Kwajik!
