Return of the Frozen Player 421
Direction of Malice (1)
“Oh shit! Where is the exit!”
“Tell the manager to come out! There must be a manager!”
“Hey, don’t you keep your eyes open?”
“what? this is a funny kid Do you want to get behind’?”
As the confusion escalated, the players also began to show more and more violent tendencies.
In an on-the-spot situation where if someone turned on the water, a torrent would pour out.
Beogjeokjeok, again and again.
Dozens of players began to gather in the clearing area.
“Hey, hey, look over there.”
“Look what! I’m going to be busy looking for an exit right now… … omg!”
“… … Are you planning to hold a world summit here?”
Just as the sparrow couldn’t get past the mill, the surviving reporters couldn’t just get over this situation.
Click click! The sound of shutters could be heard here and there.
‘You’re crazy. The Big 5 and the masters of large guilds gathered in one place.’
‘Even all nine thousand on the player’s side, excluding Yuri Alexeev, gathered.’
‘I think you would believe me if I said that I would conquer the earth with that much power.’
‘To the point of summoning that much power at once from a sitting position… …
‘It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I’ve recovered all the influence of the past.’
Seo Jun-ho, who received the attention of those gathered, looked quite different from usual.
Because he was currently wearing a ‘mask’.
‘It’s a dark mask, so now you don’t have to wear it, you know it’s dark, but why?’
‘It wouldn’t be a simple show performance.’
‘Are they hiding something profound?’
As the guild’s master and the nine-thousands had doubts, the dim-witted opened his mouth.
“Say it straight-forward. Let’s join forces.”
ah! At that moment, the Masters involuntarily nodded.
It was because Seo Jun-ho realized why he was wearing a mask in the dark.
‘That person, wearing a mask, is talking sloppily.’
‘Does it mean that it’s a waste of time to persuade and coordinate thoughts while being respectful?’
‘That looks comfortable. I got one too
Shall we try?’
Darkness continued.
“I think I know the general situation, but I can’t calm this situation down by scattering.”
“I was still thinking about what to do, but thank you for tying the gun.”
Son Chae-won, master of the quiet moon, said with a smile.
Literally, those with a fair amount of brains had already noticed the secret of the 5.5th floor.
Of course there were exceptions.
“Hey, you dim-witted lady. I don’t even know what the situation is, could you please explain?”
When the mercenary king Millpage asked for it, he briefly briefed him on the situation.
“… … In short, you are saying that there is a high probability that the demons did this?”
“For now, it is.”
“And they’re going to use the system to stir up chaos?”
“That, too, is currently the most likely.”
“Whoa. I was literally blind.
I live thanks to you.”
Upon learning of the situation, Millpage saw this place quite differently.
‘… … indeed. Was that what the chaste girl of the moon meant by thanking her for tying her arms?’
This wasn’t just a matter of knowing the secrets of the 5.5th floor and the approaching threat.
A single guild’s strength would not be able to quell the riots of hundreds of thousands of players.
‘In the end, it was a situation where everyone had to work together to solve this.’
‘The problem is the central point, which guild is the center of the problem.’
‘Because the status of the guild that solved this situation will rise to an absurd level.’
‘If it wasn’t for the stupidity to save face and call us, it would have been a huge battle of nerves.’
‘It’s definitely convenient to be able to skip such a cumbersome procedure.’
After thinking for a while, Shin Seong-hyun asked.
“However, even if we gather as many people as possible, there are only about 3,000 people. Can we control hundreds of thousands of people with just that much?”
“I can’t control it.”
Darkness nailed it.
That was the cold reality.
No matter how high the level is, no matter how talented a player is, there is a limit.
“Then, isn’t there any meaning to us gathering like this?”
“There is none. If you can’t control hundreds of thousands of people, you just need to reduce them.”
Shin Seong-Hyun put on a slightly nervous expression.
asked
“I can’t believe it’s a dangerous idea… …
“I know what you’re thinking, but I got it wrong.”
Darkness turned to Skaya and said.
“Skaya, isn’t it difficult to put a player to sleep with magic?”
“Oh, it’s easy. Even for beginners with low magic resistance, Seep magic works well.”
“ah!”
Only then did the Masters outline the strategy
Realized.
“Since most of them are beginners anyway, let’s start by putting them to sleep so that they don’t go wild.”
“I see, most of the hundreds of thousands of people gathered here are beginners, so magic will work just fine.”
“Okay… … No, the more I think about it, the better it is.”
“Then, I’ll have to recruit wizards who can use sleep magic for each guild.”
Even if I told you one thing, the plan was carried out quickly because they knew ten.
It wasn’t long before the entire arcade center was covered in snoring.
Of course, it wasn’t a solo stage where only magicians were active.
There were many other players who had the ability to put someone to sleep.
“hey. Doesn’t it seem like your vision has been blurry since a while ago? I think I can see something like fog.”
“uh? So do you? I thought I was the only one with poor eyesight… … Hmm, I feel sleepy all of a sudden.”
“Everyone is sleeping soundly. We’ll find our way out while you play in dreamland
It’s hot.”
In particular, Gasman of the Goblin Guild was the most active.
The sleeping gas that flowed from his body could easily put the players to sleep.
Of course, not everything went smoothly.
“What is this fog! The guild bastards are trying to put us to sleep and do something!”
“Everyone raise your arms! I can’t afford to suffer like this!”
The veteran players who sensed the strangeness began to rebel.
Millpage asked, scratching his back with a halberd.
“Home, Mr. Dark. What should I do in such a case?”
“Subdue by force.”
When the cold command fell, the guild members moved quickly.
“Put down your weapon when you say nice things!”
“If you feel confident, swing it. You’d better give up your life instead.”
At the end of a bloody battle of nerves, it was the normal players who tied their tails.
Big 5 and large guilds, plus 5 heroes
Because I didn’t think I could win against the enemy.
“… … Wouldn’t such a coercive attitude be rather counterproductive?”
Cha Si-eun was worried, but he shook his head resolutely.
“Human beings are much more clever creatures than you think. It’s because you respect the strong who can kill you at any time more than the weak who whisper good things to you a hundred times.”
In fact, the players didn’t dare to attack them.
Of course, there is some belief
accompanied
‘I wouldn’t know if there were only guys in the guild, but there are also 5 heroes.’
‘Well, if hundreds of thousands of people riot to find the exit, unexpected accidents will happen.’
As time passed, the vigilance became less, and people’s minds became more stable.
It was at that time that a message that stirred up confusion in earnest appeared before everyone’s eyes.
[Kill three other players.
Poetry, return to Earth.]
[The time limit is three hours.]
[If you do not escape the ‘Arcade Center’ within three hours, you will die.]
Dark eyes looking at it grew colder than ever.
‘ also.’
The moment I saw the message, I was convinced once again.
This place is a huge ant hell, and it’s a place to reduce the players’ power.
“No, Master. What should we do?”
“If everyone is really going to die in three hours… …
Even those who knew this was a trap lost their judgment momentarily.
It was easy to infer the reason for the dimness.
‘… … It’s wet with inertia.’
It’s been over 30 years since players have obeyed the system.
In the end, captivated for a long time
it is abandoned
To the terrible prejudice that the word of the system must be absolutely followed.
‘That’s probably what the guys who orchestrated this are aiming for, too.’
No one would obey if those who were clearly villains appeared and ordered them to kill each other.
However, if the entity giving the order is the system, the story is different.
In fact, it was.
“Damn it, kill someone else? but… … That is murder.”
“Oh, hey. But if we don’t kill, don’t we die on the contrary?”
“Besides, the time limit is only three hours. After that, everyone will die!”
“What should I do?”
The players who had calmed down at best started to do it without knowing what to do.
However, the guild members, who had been preparing in advance, approached them under Dim’s order.
This time, instead of being overbearing, I persuaded them gently.
“Come on, don’t panic, put your weapon in
yo. this.”
“These are all demon traps.”
“It’s a shallow drinking trick to get them to kill each other. You shouldn’t get involved in it.”
Due to the quick response, not a single murder or attack has yet occurred.
Even the Masters were surprised by that fact.
At that time, Son Chae-won approached the dark side.
“I heard there was a fierce fight in the Octagon? First of all, I sent Woojung and some guild members.”
“The Underground Octagon?”
It wasn’t paying attention in the first place.
Because it was a place where even taking out a weapon was forbidden, except for the two players in the Octagon.
‘A fierce fight in a place like that, what the hell is it?’
The moment he frowned, his eyes spotted a person among the crowd.
“hmm?”
He was Kim Woo-jung.
‘But, I’m sure he went underground a little while ago… …
Something is strange.
The feeling that the hair all over the body stands on end and the blood rushes through the veins.
At the same time, my heart started pounding.
“Are you confused?”
Hearing Son Chae-won’s words, he walked slowly through the crowd toward Kim Woo-jung.
The closer I got to him, the more and more the vast ominous feeling that I only vaguely felt became clearer.
it has been ordered
What is most certain is the energy that flows from his body.
‘That’s Margie… … !’
It’s not Woojung.
Convinced, the dimwitted didn’t hesitate.
‘The power of freezing!’
Before his mana, which spread in an instant, reached him.
Awesome!
His sword was swung first.
At the same time, the power of freezing covered the surroundings.
It was a lie like a sight.
Three heads rising slowly into the sky, unaware that they were dead.
Likewise, a bloody flower that blooms slowly from the cutting edge of the neck.
The moment when everyone looks at that unreal sight with blank eyes.
“As promised, I killed three, so let’s return first. you guys come too
la. As planned.”
Kim Woo-jung, who left those words, was enveloped in light and disappeared without a trace.
What was left was distrust and anger.
“As planned..?”
“Guild guys and the 5 heroes… … They tricked us.”
“Sword Saint Kim Woo-jung killed three people!”
“They want to sacrifice us to return to Earth!”
Darkness bit her lip.
The cracks that had been forcibly sealed began to grow out of control.
“Wait a minute! That guy is not Woojung! The guy is now in the underground octagon… … !”
“Shut the fuck up! You thought you would be fooled by that tongue twice!?”
“Me too, I have a family waiting for me on Earth!”
At the same time as the sound of weapons being pulled out here and there, chaos began.
