Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 20

“Why did you save me?”

“Uh... I paid for the legendary skill and the card gang explosion.”

“No, you bastard. “What’s so weird about this that you make sure to send all of the kids who are shaming you back unscathed, one by one?”

KTX train cabin to Seoul. Master Park’s voice rang out from beyond the receiver.

“Do we really have to kill them all like that just because the government told us to kill them? “I’m not a psychopathic killer. Let’s live in a more peaceful and philanthropic way.”

“Well said, you stupid philanthropist. Have you forgotten that those bastards came to shut you up in the first place, not the country? “Even Jesus put the bastard who sold him to the bottom of hell, you bastard.”

“No one can close my mouth,”

Yoosung replied indifferently, leaving behind the setting sun outside the car window.

“Hmm, why am I such a fan of this rare, crazy idiot? I carry him on my back.” “Did you cry?”

“Ah, why are you like this? I helped you eat at your PC room.”

“It’s okay. It’s my job to write a letter anyway. Be careful and come back and don’t overextend yourself. You crazy idiot, you idiot. Please don’t make me worry. Got it?

” “Thank you for doing it.”

That was the end of the story between the two. After the call was cut off, Yoosung turned his head out the car window again.

Dusk had already sunken beyond the western sky. The darkness of the night was floating around before I knew it. When

I woke up from a nap, the train was at Seoul Station. We arrived and the cold smell of the early morning night greeted us with a shooting star:

“View the ranking board.”

Yooseong opened his mouth as he walked around the square in front of the station. A hologram window appeared beyond the leaking breath.

Natasha Ivanova's ranking had fallen from the 10th to below the 100th place, and a sword master who was in the top 10 had already risen to the 4th place. In the end ,

players who will go up will go up, and players who will go down will go down.

Furthermore, at the top of the ranking board, which is fluctuating all the time, there is an undisputed and undisputed number 1. If not, he has

already ranked 1st in all previous seasons. The gap between the top and second place was unprecedented, and thanks to the legendary skill he obtained by defeating Natasha Ivanova, the gap became even more evident. “Isn’t that the King of Heroes?

”

As I was carefully looking at the ranking board, it was just then. Some of the people walking around looked at Yoosung and whispered,

“Really? Oh, that can’t be possible. As far as I know, he looks a little more crazy...

“No, look carefully. That’s the King of Heroes under his clothes. “That’s the player equipment you’re wearing!”

“No matter what the media says, he is the most active player every season.”

“That’s right, the world would have ended in season 2 without the King of Heroes anyway.”

“They are even secretly donating the profits from selling T-shirts!”

“Really? Isn’t it a show?”

“No, he may look like that in front of the media, but in person, he is surprisingly polite and a good person. From what I heard, the scoundrels are so cruel...

Yoosung smiled bitterly, leaving behind the people’s whispers. Immediately after, Yoosung came up to him and said, There was someone who spoke up and said,

“Are you a real hero…king?”

“No, not a hero, not a king.”

After hearing Yooseong’s words, people’s confidence immediately continued. As if the sarcasm was a certificate of authenticity.

“Wow, he’s a real King of Heroes!”

“Oh, it’s not really true.”

“Then is it true that you are donating profits from the T-shirts?”

“No, it is for a show and tax evasion... No, it is for tax saving.”

Before we knew it, a procession of people was gathering around the meteor. Just as

there are many names for the player in the world of the tower, the same is true in this world.

Asymmetrical power where the hero weapon and the measure of military power are alive.

However, the player is by no means a hero. . China's sword lord, Germany's tomb keeper, Russia's count (伯辭).... The same was true for the rankers who were revered as the pride and heroes of each country. They

were just ‘war heroes'.

Just like Natasha Ivanova, they eliminated the enemies of their country. People who have no hesitation in what they do. And when Yoosung became a patriot like them who had no hesitation in eliminating the enemies of his country, I thought about what people would call the king of heroes. “...Where are the heroes in the world these days

? ”

Leaving behind the bitter cold, the shooting star muttered softly. The moon was dreary in the desolate starless night sky. Not long after, reporters flocked in and the shooting star

ran towards a nearby tower as if running away.

Before I knew it, 5 A level 47 player who has conquered two top tiers and is about to ‘awaken' at level 50. The gap is already widening to an overwhelming level with second place. He could take a break and think about his future pace. But he won't

. No, it couldn't be done.

‘Even if you have to rest, it’s better to rest at the tower.’

As soon as I entered the tower, the scenery of the entire area faded away, and a black tooth peeked out from the shadow of the shooting star.

“Doesn’t the world look so disgusting to you?”

— Nyaaaang.

Kamangi responded by crying, and Yoosung smiled bitterly without saying anything.

“These idiots will be the same even if the Earth is destroyed.”

— Meow.

I'm sick of all the political interests and fights that happen every single day in the outside world. Even if I try to turn my head, I can't, and even if I try to cover my ears, I can't stop them. But when I attack the tower, I just end up thinking nothing of it

. It was not like that to approach.

There is always a clearly defined answer and strategy in the tower. And it is enough to carry out it.

[Enter the Tower of Sword and Magic...]

Immediately after the system message disappears, darkness appears. It cleared up and a voice was heard:

“Oh, the hero’s summoning ritual was successful!”

“The saint’s magic was successful!”

“Oh, the Goddess has taken care of us!”

What immediately greeted the shooting star from the tower was a medieval Romanesque-style hall. Shining colored glass and gold lacquer decorations were visible here and there, as well as elaborately carved reliefs on black and white marble. Even at first glance, you could tell it was a synagogue of a royal castle or cathedral

. It was.

Leaving behind the whirlpool of magical power that was faintly felt under his feet and in the area, Yooseong looked around. He

saw knights armed with armor and holding Auror hearts, wizards with magical powers, and priests with divine power. Literally swords. And the world of magic seemed clear.

“Nice to meet you, the warrior of the other world who answered our call.”

And the woman who seemed to have the highest status among them spoke,

“My name is Ilicia Celestina, the 37th saint of the Holy Celestina Church.”

“You are a hero who saves the world quickly and accurately. What should I do for you, Saint Illisia?”

“...To tell that story, it is necessary to explain what happened here on the continent of Philia in the beginning.”

“In the beginning, there were both Elyos and Demons?”

“Yes, you are a warrior too! As you know, in the beginning, there were Elyos and Demons…

“Wow, that’s amazing. I heard that in my hometown, in the beginning, there was only the sea and microorganisms.”

“Is that so? Anyway, in the beginning, the Elyos and the Demons started a war between light and darkness...

omitted.

“So the Demons who were supposed to be confined in the dark world of ‘Abyss’ began to invade the world of light. ...

Omitted.

“In order to stop the invasion of the demons, the Elyos’ ancient weapon ‘Arch’ must be activated again.”

“Aha, I understand. Then, can we set off to save the world from the threat of demons?”

“However, the Elyos were concerned about abusing the power of the Arc, so they divided it into two pieces and sealed them on the continent. In order to retrieve the pieces of the Arc, you must pass a test at the ‘Black and White Sanctuary’ where each Arc sleeps... “Where are you going?”

Yoo-seong stopped listening and turned his back on her. The saintess asked back in confusion, and Yoo-seong answered,

“I’m going to work.”

“Please wait, warrior!”

As she left Dazzagozza Cathedral and chased a shooting star across the street, the saint cried out urgently. And behind her, an innumerable procession of priests and knights followed. It was a comedy to see from a distance, and a comedy to see up close. “I had no idea where the Ark was sleeping

. “Are you leaving like that knowing this?”

“Do you know where the Ark is?”

“Huh? Oh no...

“Then there’s nothing different.”

The saint's mouth fell silent for a moment at the meteor's words. It was at that moment.

Light disappeared from the world.

The square in front of the cathedral of the Church of Holy Celestina was pitch-black darkness fell on the area of the sanctuary, which is said to be the country of the goddess. The noon

sunlight pouring in. Shrouded in this darkness. A storm of shadows swirled and engulfed the entire area.

Voices and screams of astonishment rang out from all over.

Eventually, a strange creature with devil's wings and tail emerged from the darkness. .

“How can demons come to this sacred land

? ...

“Get back! This is no place for you filthy things to set foot in!”

“Oh, Goddess, please have pity on us!”

The holy magic of the priests and the auror blades of the knights swirled in front of the demon’s form. However, all of their attacks only passed through the air as if passing through a hologram. “Um… obtaining the Arc is the only way to get hold of the Ark.

” “It will be our demons' share. And... soon, the world filled with hateful light will be covered by our darkness. So don't interfere and just disappear, warrior.”

“That can’t be possible!”

“That demon is talking like that. It’s telepathic, so no one but me can hear it.”

Looking at that scene, Yoosung muttered calmly as if he were reading a Korean book. The saintess’s expression froze. “It

looks like we don’t have time to delay. So, is there somewhere where you think Arc is?”

Not long after that,

a secret letter from the saint was sent to the Pope, saying that the destruction of the world was just around the corner and there was no time to delay. It was almost at the same time that the two horses left the capital of the Holy Celestina Church. .
