Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 23

Mirrors in the area shattered into pieces. At the same time, the King of Heroes' ‘test partner' appeared there.

It was a man wearing a humpback coat with a golden cross pattern on it.

The man raised his head. He is wearing a clown mask with a grotesquely torn pattern around his mouth resembling a crescent moon.

Looking at that scene, Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else’s business.

“Luxury goods and fakes.”

Immediately after, countless frost swords began to be forged around the shooting star.

The same was true for the man in the coat facing the shooting star.

The man grabbed the hilt of the frost sword and rushed to the ground.

Kaang

Ice collided with ice. At the same time, shadow blades rose from beneath the feet of the two, and the blades clashed and crossed like mirror symmetry. It was incredibly fast and precise.

Ice and Shadow Shadow and ice intersected and a sound rang out.

“Why are you so serious?”

The man in the surcoat chuckled as he clashed his frost swords. The mask's mouth pattern was torn like a living creature.

“You can be a hero or a villain. “What happens on this stage

is up to us.”

“So don’t be too serious.” Immediately after

Puuk,

the shooting star's sword plunged towards the man in the coat. It was at the same time that the man's sword struck Yoo Seong.

Two frost swords were sticking out as they tore through each other's chest. In pain, blood flowed down the cold blade.

“Because there is nothing in this world that needs to be taken seriously.”

“Would you like me to show you a magic trick that will make him shut up?”

The man in the clown mask grinned, and Yoosung let out a cold sigh and stretched out his arms. He took off the mask as if it were being snatched away.

It was immediately afterward that the man in the overcoat disappeared like a mirage.

Nevertheless, the blood and wounds flowing down Yoosung's chest showed that it was not a lie.

I looked down at the mask in my hand without saying a word.

It was not the “Laughing Clown” mask that the man had been wearing just before. It was the “Non-Smiling Clown” clown mask, a colorless clown mask painted in white and black.

Yoosung put on a clown mask and a gold voice was heard again. It was the laughter of the Clown Lord.

“Is there still more to do?”

Yoosung coldly asked in pain.

- A child with a thousand faces and a thousand talents.

Take your new face and new talents.

A voice was heard and Yoosung was wearing a hat. As if the clown mask was melting, it seeped towards the meteor.

It was immediately after that that a flood of system messages blocked my vision.

[Hero skill card 《Frost Sword Creation (Cold Metal)】 has been acquired!]

［Normal skill Acquired the card 《Ice Bolt (Cold)）!］

［Ordinary Skill card 《Piercing (Metal)》acquired

...]

[Acquired the rare skill card 《Shadow Blade (Dark Assassination)》...]

[Normal Skill card 《Slow Heal（Healing＞...]

[Hero skill card 《Sword Sword Art (Metal)｝] and

[Legendary skill card 《Oculus (Illusion)》...]

[I already have Frost Sword Creation. C. Do you want to strengthen it to create a frost sword (★★) through skill synthesis? Y/N]

[You already have an ice bolt. Do you want to strengthen it to ice bolt (★ ★★) through skill synthesis? Y/N ]

[Already possesses a stab...]

(omitted)

[...Would you like to strengthen it with Oculus (★★) through skill synthesis? Y/N]]

The man in the standing coat with the shooting star hitting him just before he holds it Skill cards poured in.

Needless to say, it was a list of skills that exactly matched those of Yoosung.

That was not all.

[Stats (Str Dex Int) are amplified.]

[Attack, Accuracy, Defense and Evasion correction are amplified. .]

The various statuses that Yusung possessed were literally blown away.

It was proof that he had successfully completed his first awakening.

As usual, he passed the test that had to be performed at the Tower of Awakening and received ‘his own talent’ as a reward. Put it in.

Another act of defeating and devouring oneself.

Over the course of six seasons, it was a test of awakening that was as ordinary as anything and as unpleasant as anything else. A few days

later, in a hospital room in a certain location in Seoul.

“Mr. Hero of “Hero, there is a mission you must perform for world peace.”

“Can’t you see that hero lying in a hospital room right now with a knife hole in his chest?”

Master Park chuckled and Yoosung pointed to his bandaged stomach and said,

“You’re in serious trouble, you bastard. I just threw in some recovery water and some healing skills and you’re almost completely healed, right?”

“It’s not a normal wound and it doesn’t heal that easily.”

“No, you bastard. What on earth did you do at the Tower of Awakening to get such a nasty knife hole?”

Master Park asked back in bewilderment. The form of ‘awakening' performed by players after reaching level 50 is different for each monarch. However, at least from what Yooseong knows, awakening in the form of defeating and absorbing another self is rarely found. No.

“Well, since your monarch is not an ordinary monarch, the same goes for awakening.”

Therefore, it was not something that anyone could easily reveal, no matter how trustworthy they were. The identity of the Clown Lord was also the same.

“So, what should a hero do for world peace?”

“That’s it, George’s job is to find the villain.”

“No, you’re telling me to find the spy and catch him? They’re heroes in their own country, too.”

“Just take a look, you bastard.”

Saying that, Master Park held out a pile of documents.

“Because he is a true villain, which is rare in today’s world.”

The thing on top of the pile of documents was a news article. It happened a few days ago when Yoosung lost consciousness and collapsed right after he came out of the tower after awakening. “Explosion accident?

”

“In front of the media, it is being controlled as a gas cylinder explosion accident. We cannot expose a huge pyromaniac player who is setting off fireworks in downtown Seoul.”

“Is it the player’s doing?”

“We are predicting that he is a Flame Lord player, and we have obtained personal information, but his name is not listed in the rankings.”

“...It’s powerful.”

“It is highly likely that this is the case since government players have also been affected. No, it is probably 100%.”

They are said to be the worst among black players.

They are not interested in even the act of becoming stronger as a player, and it is not uncommon for them to even insist on remaining a minnow player until the end of the season. Even if they do happen to get high-level

equipment or skill cards. Even if it is put in, it is not installed intentionally, so its existence itself is usually shrouded in a veil. Therefore, even its capabilities cannot be properly understood until the ‘hidden power' is revealed. Players belonging to the National Intelligence Service are said to have suffered from it, so it is probably the latter

. “

It’s even more of a pain because he’s a huge Flame Lord.”

“Because he’s not an ordinary idiot lord.”

Just as some people commit evil simply because they want to see the world burn, the Flame Lord is no different. It is not without reason that the

Lord gives power to the player. The Lord has a purpose, and that purpose is more important than anything else. The person who can perform best is given power as the player.

That is why the worst combination of black players is not called the Flame Lord for no reason.

Both the lord and the player want to set the world on fire, so there is nothing they can do. It's like they don't know what's going on.

“For your information, the kids on our side went in at the tail end and fell down at the ‘exit'. After that, they ran away and never showed up. They may be planning on diving until the end of the season. .”

“I’m actively looking for it now, so a report will come as soon as I find it. In the worst case, another one will explode.”

“I will explode 100%.”

After going through the pile of documents, Yoosung answered without a moment of hesitation,

“Don’t miss it, catch it and call me.”

“So what are you going to do until then?”

“I need to sleep.”

With those words, Yoosung turned around.

A few days later, at an apartment in downtown Seoul.

“Fire!”

Starting with that sound, screams rang out from everywhere.

The flames were burning brightly. And the flame began to wriggle like a living creature and engulf the entire area.

The sky turned red.

“Ahhh...!”

The ‘Professor’ smiled as he looked at the sight of a building being engulfed in flames in the distance. Children's screams, parents' screams, savoring the ecstatic chords of despair.

It was his work.

The power of the explosion is a result of his abilities as a player.

However, the explosion itself is by no means the power of the skill. After all, it is an improvised explosive device (IED) that has been tailored to explode in a timely manner through his knowledge.

[“Burn the world! Spread my flame!”]

[The Flame Lord is delighted and bestows a gift on one player.] It

is not enough to enter the tower to become strong and to please the Lord.

Therefore, there was no reason for him to hesitate when the Flame Lord extended his hand to him.

The professor soon turned his back, savoring the endless stream of system messages. The government will probably have figured out this situation by now and come after us. But there was no reason to panic.

[Entering the tower...]

The escape tower, designed for times like this, was waiting by his side.

The entrance to the tower does not necessarily lead to the exit when cleared.

For example, just as the King of Heroes and the Lord of Swords entered one tower from each country, it is not uncommon for one tower to be connected to a tower in a foreign country or a far away place.

And in that case, they intentionally attack the tower, change the exit when coming out, and use it as an escape... also known as a tunnel.

Even if the player follows him into the tower, there is no way they can fight him in his current state. Just like the government players he turned to ashes earlier.

Thinking like that, the professor was sucked into the tower and it was some time later.

［Arena Tower］

［4-tier duel format. Number of players allowed to enter. Minimum 1, maximum 2. No stores］

［Strategy Goal: Victory］

［Special Note: One player

has already entered the tower. Lh 10m until entry deadline. .....

Police gathered around the tower and blocked off the area, and a man appeared towards the area.

“You cannot enter from here! Please step aside. mister!”

The police officers blocking the surroundings shouted, and the man walked on without paying any heed.

“Mister, in front of me...

“Get out of the way.”

“Excuse me!”

As soon as the police saw the man's face hidden behind the hood, they panicked and jumped out of the way.

“I have to go check on that crazy bastard.”

It was a man wearing a black surcoat under a winter jumper.
