Return of the Frozen Player 423
Direction of Malice (3)
The time Ramadat killed the Demons in the Octagon.
All over the arcade center upstairs, chaos was unfolding.
“The guild guys have drawn their weapons! As expected, this was my true intention!”
“I knew it would be like this someday. You bastards who only reveal money and profit.”
“No, this is because you guys took out your weapons first, so I had no choice but to hold it!”
“You idiots are all being deceived!”
The endless swear words heated the air.
It was because the murder committed by the fake Kim Woo-jung became a kind of trigger.
Since mistrust is entrenched, proper dialogue is inevitable.
“……shit.”
I feel like I’m running out of power.
Even though I acted so desperately to prevent this situation, it ended up like this.
The mood of the guild masters did not seem to be very different.
“You bastards who only reveal money and profit.”
“Hey, I thought I did a lot of welfare for the player ecosystem.”
“I did a lot. It’s embarrassing to say this in front of the 5 heroes, but we’re the ones who created the current order.”
“But in the end people only see what they want to see.”
“To be honest, I feel betrayed.”
Both of them are deeply disappointed in each other.
How to solve this situation, the moment I thought about this or that way.
“for a moment. Is this something strange?”
Skye opened her mouth.
It was a calm voice, like someone taking a step back and observing the whole situation.
“Is it strange?”
“The guy who imitated the Sword Saint a while ago. Maybe a demon?”
“I guess so.”
Unless you’re a demon, there’s no reason to do such a low-quality play in this situation.
It was precisely that part that Skaya had doubts about.
“Why did you do that?”
“… … What are you talking about?”
At first glance, it must have been done to stir up confusion.
“You have the memory of the player butcher
read and told Demons are strong.”
At that time, he had glimpsed the power of lower, middle, and upper level demons.
Of course, I shared that memory with my colleagues.
“I’m sure you said that even mid-level demons would be difficult at the level of Nine Chun and us, right?”
“It was then.”
“If the demons are as strong as you say, do you really need to act like that?”
“……hmm?”
It was strange to hear it.
At best, if they had even drawn a trap, wouldn’t it be easier and faster to just kill them with force?
Even if we send a few high-level demons right away, the players won’t be able to avoid annihilation.
‘But I didn’t. Then why?’
Dusk and Skaya’s eyes met in the air.
There is usually one reason why everyone leaves the easy road and takes the twisted and difficult road.
“… … It’s not like I didn’t do it.”
“Yeah, I guess I can’t.”
At that moment, the words Reiji, who was the manager of the second floor, suddenly flashed through his mind.
-I’m sorry, but the manager doesn’t get involved in the player’s affairs. No, should I say no… .
– Because that’s the rule.
She clearly stated that ‘administrators’ could not be involved in the affairs of the players.
“It’s just my prediction, but the demons who stand at the opposite end of the manager are in a similar situation.
Could it be?”
“but… … Other than that, you’ve already killed three people in the guise of Woojungi?”
“Oh, yes.”
The moment when the story is about to fall into the labyrinth again.
Son Chae-won, who had been silently listening to their story, suddenly opened her mouth.
“At first, I thought it was long, but it definitely came to mind. There is a familiar face among the dead people who fake Wujungi earlier.”
She hurriedly manipulated Vita, and several
I posted an article a year ago.
There were pictures and information about several players being killed by Mine.
“Oliver Finn, the player who was killed by the Mine in Frontier. I was considering it as a target to recruit into the guild.”
Millpage and Shin Seong-hyun, who were watching the article together, helped.
“Look at this? The two people who died earlier were also victims caught up in this incident’?”
“… … That is, they were all people of the other world.
is the sound.”
It was just staged as if they were dead, but there is no ‘not one’ player who actually died in this place.
That was their conclusion, and it was actually very close to the truth.
Gilberto, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened his mouth.
“There are no great detectives, so let me put the last piece together here.”
“The last piece?”
Receiving all eyes on him, he turned his head
nodded briefly.
“Right now, demons are hiding among the players. It’s not just one or two people, it’s quite a lot.”
“……what?”
“No, how do you know that?”
“Because there are those who started instigating as if they were waiting for the moment the fake swordsman committed murder.”
Of course, they pushed 5 heroes and guilds without giving other players time to think.
Blocking each other’s only chance to talk by drawing their weapons first
did up to
“What kind of guys are they?”
“Already buried.”
When Gilberto shared the magic pattern, they immediately focused magic around their eyes.
Immediately, several players’ bodies turned green.
“Stop doing this, let’s attack first! Are you going to stay still until the guild guys kill us like this?”
“If I’m going to die without being able to do anything here, I’ll try to swing the knife at least once.”
“Did I hear clearly what the guild guys were doing in the first place? They’re going to abandon us.”
“You don’t have to kill them all, just kill three, just three, and you can go home.”
Those disgusting things were constantly whispering words of temptation in the players’ ears.
“It’s nasty.”
“… … Should I call it clever?”
“But how do we inform the players about this?”
It was revealed that this situation itself was playing into the hands of the demons.
The problem was that I was in no situation to have a conversation right now.
“Then I’ll have to set things up first.”
After muttering briefly, the dim stride strode forward.
After defeating the guild members and standing at the forefront, the player holding the weapon enters the field of vision endlessly.
“Oh, what a mess……
“It’s Mr. Dark.”
The eyes of the players who confirmed his appearance shook slightly.
Because in their hearts, the existence of darkness has always been goodness, justice, and rightness.
jerk, jerk.
As Duduksuni slowly moved towards them, someone from the opposing camp also walked out.
“Until there. Don’t come any closer.”
Jade, a solo player called ‘Otma’s Red Spear’.
Based in the frontier city of Othmar
Growing up, he was a well-known and righteous old man.
“Please, don’t let me attack you. The old man asks… …
As she spoke, Jade’s eyebrows twitched.
It’s because you didn’t stop and approached me in the dark, lightly ignoring my own words.
“I clearly warned you not to come!”
Judging that words should not be used, magic flowed from Jade’s body.
Surprised by the surrounding players
road mighty aura.
However, the next moment, Darkness’s right hand was already holding his spear.
‘What speed… … !’
Jade gritted it.
The spear pole I held with both hands did not budge no matter how hard I tried.
I got hit, am I going to die like this? For a while, all sorts of thoughts pass by.
His pupils widened.
“Ji, what are you doing!”
“If you poke this place, no matter how much I die,
do Because you are a person.”
A voice flowed from within the mask of the dim as I held the tip of the spear exactly in front of my heart.
Even in this situation, it was a dry voice that was not exasperated or excited.
“If I really thought that the 5 heroes, the Big 5, and the Goo Chun would betray you.”
Dark eyes scanned the crowd indifferently.
“Just poke it.”
Rather than bear such a stigma, this man
It would be better to die in Lee.
Jade’s eyes shook at that firm attitude.
I was sure because he was closer than anyone else.
‘Magic… … Not wearing it.’
That meant, really, that he would die if he just pierced this spear.
why? Why would you do this?
No matter how hard I tried, there was only one reason for me to come out.
‘Because I’m confident, because I’m proud enough.’
Jade, who bit her lip tightly, distorted her wrinkled face.
“really… … You really didn’t intend to abandon us?”
Dumbfounded didn’t respond.
Just stare at yourself.
-If you are a player, judge for yourself.
It was like a scolding look.
“……haha.”
Jade finally burst out laughing.
Does that mean he has no intention of accepting the foolishness of an old man?
Its majestic appearance was so brilliant that it seemed like it would go blind.
“I can’t.”
With murmurs mixed with shame and self-deprecation.
grunt. The sound of red spears rolling across the floor reverberated through the empty lot surrounded by silence.
A moment of silence passes, and a few beings
they erupted in anger
“… … what are you doing?”
“You should have stabbed your heart there!”
“A stupid old man! Blowing away an opportunity that won’t come twice!”
In the eyes of the Masters, they were the kind of humans that looked ‘green’.
‘Nice Junho.’
Guild faction and player faction.
Deciding that they were ready to talk to each other, Skaya magically floated a picture in the air.
Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to the photo.
headed to
“uh… … wait for a sec.”
“That person was killed by the Sword Saint earlier?”
“By the way, a knight from four years ago? What happened?”
At the same time, Ramadat and Kim Woo-jung came up from the underground.
“That, the Sword Saint!?”
“Didn’t you kill three people and return to Earth?”
“huh? What do you mean by earth? This guy was in the basement with me.”
Ramadat, who blinked, opened his mouth.
At this point, even if the hair was a decoration, I had no choice but to realize the situation.
“Someone imitated the Sword Saint and instigated a fight.”
“Syval-somehow. I thought that if I swung a sword, my life would be properly twisted!”
“In the first place, there are parts that the Big 5 are not good at, but it’s not that end.”
“I thought something was strange from the moment the 5 heroes were there.”
“No, everyone is proud, then who were the guys who incited us to attack?”
“It’s a demon.”
said the dimwit.
His cold eyes scanned the green humans in the crowd.
“The demons who made fun of you are still watching us right here.”
“Aww, damn goosebumps!”
“Are you not a demon? I heard the Big 5 swearing with my own ears earlier.”
“What a big deal! I’m just
I swore because I was swept away by the atmosphere!”
“… … Isn’t that a worse bastard?”
The green people watching the situation twisted their faces.
I already realized that it was wrong to fight each other after a hundred days of agitation here.
“Whoa… … Anyway, idiot-like human bastards.”
After spitting out curse words, the bodies of the green humans dispersed like smoke and soon merged into one.
The finished product was dressed in a white suit and had snake eyes with a single horn sprouting from its forehead.
man.
He stared at the dimwit with an expression that he didn’t like something.
“You are lucky. If it wasn’t for that, it would have been a fight worth seeing.”
“Luck?”
“If that’s not luck, what is? If that stupid old man stabbed your heart, everything would be over.”
Darkness burst into laughter.
The reason he was able to do that in the first place was that he wouldn’t be attacked.
because he was sure
“And that conviction was born of the faith and trust I had built up in people’s hearts. It is said that it is not so easy that it collapses at once with the four guys’ superficial tricks.”
I really wanted to refute it, but I actually failed, so I had nothing to say.
He instigated that he be divided into thousands and have his throat burst, but the people did not swing their weapons until the end.
“done. If you did that much.”
At that time, a halo of light shone by the eyes of the snake
Then three more men in white suits appeared.
At the same time, Darkness’s eyes shook.
‘One guy… … It has two horns.’
According to Buddha’s memory, it is the mark of a high-ranking demon.
It meant a strong man who could not even assure himself of victory.
He spoke nonchalantly to the snake-eyed man.
“Boros, Georges was beaten.”
“What, no, to whom?”
“I was beaten to death by Ramadat in the Octagon.”
“Such an asshole… …
Are you saying that the mid-level demons couldn’t stand up to a mere human?
Boros sighed in shame and asked if he was of the same rank as that guy.
“Then what shall we do now, Maice?”
“well.”
The strategy of alienating and dividing players and causing a war has already been implemented.
Failed.
But since they couldn’t kill the player directly, there was only one option left.
“… … go back.”
“Ha, you hit it right.”
“Go upstairs diligently. Then you can kill without hesitation.”
“But anyway, the original goal was achieved.”
The moment the space opens up and the four demons are about to leave without any hesitation.
“Who said it was okay to go back?”
A dim voice caught them.
