Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 114

There was a shooting star and a military unit surrounding the players in the area, as if it were a battlefield.

“Wow, was there a war somewhere?”

Yoosung muttered calmly. And I was able to realize it. It was not just this country's national army that was

surrounding them .

Even after the world has become a game, U.S. troops are still stationed in this country due to the increasingly turbulent political dynamics of the international community. However, it was not even the South Korean or US military that was there.

It is the ‘Peacekeeping Force (UNPKF)’ directly under the UN Peace Security Council. In the past, it was a scarecrow organization that put its name to shame, but now it is a multinational executive force that acts as a private soldier for the five permanent members.

There was only one reason they had peacekeepers gathered here.

“Oh my gosh, you’re just talking nonsense like trivial politics again.”

A shooting star taunted quietly, and a voice came from beyond through a loudspeaker.

“Player Kang Yoo-seong! Please do not resist and cooperate obediently!”

“Are you afraid I will try to prey on you?”

I could understand the situation itself. This country's hero, Special Agent 077, appeared and immediately intercepted their broadcast, manipulated the minds of the reporters there and destroyed all recordable evidence.

After that, they all died in the barrier built there by the King of Heroes. It was needless to say how those who did not know the 077 Special Lease and the identity of Lieutenant General Baek Kyung-oh would receive it.

It was right then.

A man walked among the soldiers surrounding the area from beyond the barricade.

He was General Kilgore, one of the generals and heroes of the United States Joint Special Operations Command.

As evidence, the F-23 fighter jets rushing through the sky were already covering the sky, forming a squadron of about 12 aircraft.

F-23 Diablo An invincible fighter plane that will never be defeated.

It is a delusion as childish and innocent as that of Lieutenant General Kilgore, and the ideal of a war hero forged through living hell.

A god of war that not even the King of Heroes dares to surpass in terms of his ability to conduct war on a purely strategic scale.

And as an apostle of a warlord, the armored weapons he can create will never be all there is.

“Wow, you’re getting more and more powerful as the days go by.”

“Player Kang, do you understand the seriousness of the situation?”

As Lieutenant General Kilgore put a Cuban cigar in his mouth, a flame lit up at the end of the cigar.

“I want to ask the peacekeeper idiots behind them whether they understand the seriousness. “Do you think you can help me with a few guns and a few tanks and fighter planes?”

“So it has to be even more serious.”

The Vice General muttered quietly while holding a Cuban cigar in his mouth.

“Quite a few people are claiming that you and your subordinates massacred the 077 Special Forces.”

In the eyes of those who do not know the situation, the 077 Special Forces under Lieutenant General Baek are unquestionable heroes. And when the heroes returned, they were about to tell the truth in front of the camera when the King of Heroes interrupted them.

Immediately after, Mistress destroyed all evidence, including cameras recording the truth, using her mind manipulation powers.

The 077 Special Lease Team also willingly sacrificed their lives to close the gate.

There is no need to say how it will appear to those who do not know the context.

“Lieutenant General, do you think I am a psychopathic murderer who would do nothing like that?”

“It doesn’t matter what I believe or not. “It’s important how people see it.”

“From the looks of it, the ‘leaders’ of the permanent members seem to be very uncomfortable with this, right? Did you feel a chill down your spine?”

“...the world is truly starting to fear our players.”

Lieutenant General Kilgore said. It was an unusually sincere voice. Yoosung smiled bitterly at those words.

“Either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain.”

“It’s okay if it’s just a formality. “Can you show obedient cooperation in this place where people around the world are paying attention right now?”

Yoosung was silent for a moment at those words.

“The same goes for you, Mistress.”

“Oh, you should be willing to cooperate.”

Mistress smiled slyly and shrugged her shoulders.

“But the ‘leaders’ had better be a little more afraid of the secrets I know.”

“Don’t worry. “It is just a formal procedure.”

It's a Go-Stop that involves squeezing and hitting. Showing that the player is compliant and under control in front of the government and the UN and restoring people's trust.

It wasn't even funny.

“The 077 Special Lease Team were those who had already been reborn as Slayers of the Tower’s power. And this area was exposed to the influence of the tower and became a stage for the game.”

“...

And at the next words, Lieutenant General Kilgore’s expression hardened. Because I wasn't a player who didn't know what it meant.

“Reality has become a stage in the tower...

“This will only be the beginning.”

That's why Yooseong said.

“As we continue to play this game, the boundary between reality and the world inside the tower will gradually collapse, and the common sense we have known until now will collapse. Even then, every time something like this happens, are you going to call in the peacekeepers and have them run away and arrest people and do stupid things?”

Lieutenant General Kilgore's expression darkened for a moment. And after saying that, Yoosung walked away calmly. He paid no heed to the armored weapons and gun barrels pointed at him.

“Kang Yu-seong...!”

“Shoot.”

And Yoosung said.

“Shoot cannonballs, bombard us with missiles from your F-23, fire guns, and fire everything you can. “With the mindset of just killing the dog without leaving a single bullet behind.”

“What?!”

Shock echoed everywhere at those words.

“Because it wouldn’t mean anything anyway.”

Yoosung answered coldly.

“And only when you know that it means nothing will you stop doing nonsense like this.”

“...How do you think the world will accept that?”

“Did our proud America destroy Iraq for being so concerned about others?”

Yoosung sneered and Lieutenant General Kilgore remained silent. After a moment of silence, he flicked his cigar between his fingers and turned his back.

“Is there really a reason to do that?”

“there is.”

When Yoosung answered that question, Lieutenant General Kilgore also did not ask any more questions.

“It will take some time to communicate the situation and minimize damage. And with your cooperation, we will transport Mistress and your men to Camp Humphreys, the U.S. military base in Pyeongtaek.”

“Please do so.”

Vice Admiral Kilgore said and Yoosung shrugged his shoulders.

After a while, the siren started sounding like an air raid warning. As if in a war, people started evacuating and people took out their phones. When I turned on the news broadcasting app, reporters were making a fuss and pouring out all kinds of stories about Yoosung's demands.

And their broadcast stopped.

The Jester Lord’s Protection < Putting Up the Stage (Ex) >.

Before he knew it, his own image was reflected in the video Yooseong was watching.

At the same time, the siren sound stopped.

A blazing twilight fell across the western sky, and the silhouettes of fighter jets began to approach quickly, with the setting sun at their backs. It was Lieutenant General Kilgore's F-23.

Quang!

The missile hit. A heat wave swept through the area, and amidst it, snipers equipped with sight goggles pulled their triggers all at once.

It was no ordinary firearm. Benefits of the world of towers. They were state-of-the-art weapons that were constantly evolving with the technology bestowed upon them by the Machine Lord by unlocking and deciphering the secrets of their power.

The speed of weapon development never lags behind the player's development speed. Rather, at some point, except for a very small number of top players, the speed of technological development of weapons was overwhelming the growth of players.

[The provocation value increases...!]

[The provocation value increases endlessly...!]

However, it meant nothing in front of the very few highest-ranking players and the king of their peak heroes.

None of the weapons containing the essence of over-technology given by the Machine Lord could reach it.

As Vice Admiral Baek Gyeong-oh once said, there was a player there who was alive and well despite the barrage of all kinds of weapons.

A lot of petals fluttered around as if orbiting a shooting star. Every time a bullet made contact, a missile exploded, and every time flames engulfed him, even the high heat of the plasma was fleetingly cut away by the petals of dark frost.

An absolute defense achieved by overlaying Laplace's world and wrapping Lee's petals in the darkness.

It didn't stop there.

Protection 1《Apostle of Winter》

- Grade Ex

- Effect

. You can handle the frost lord's magic without equipping a separate cold skill card.

. When equipped with a cold skill card, it is greatly strengthened by the magic power of the frost lord provided by the protection. Even

without using a dark frost craftsman, you can already handle high-purity cold magic power.

However, if the protection of < Winter Apostle > is added to the cold skill, the efficiency of the skill can be amplified in a concept close to the square.

Before I knew it, the flames that were supposed to engulf the area and scatter were freezing. After several missiles exploded, it was now frozen without even being able to disperse sparks properly.

Snow flowers were fluttering about.

Before I knew it, the entire city center beneath my feet was frozen into a world of bitter cold and darkness.

No matter how endless the bombings or missiles were, they could not destroy the world of dark frost spreading around the meteor's feet.

And that was right then.

[The 《Dark Frost Craftsman》 2nd skill awakening mission has been cleared...!]

A message finally came to mind.

[Hero level skill 《Blackfrost Landscaper (Blackfrost Landscaper)X has been acquired!]

Before we knew it, dusk had fallen and night had risen.

And on this very day, when the summer season was just approaching, pure white snowflakes were falling.

The bottom of the night was very dark.
