Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 72

“Trash game special slots lined up.”

Yooseong muttered in bewilderment, and that very slot appeared in Yooseong's field of vision in the form of a status window.

《Essence of the Abhorrent Fusion Lord》

- Grade .Unique

- Effect

. Super regenerative ability (Healing Factor)

. Grants ‘Keyword: Adaptive Cell Armor' during battle (when attacked by a specific attribute, the resistance of that attribute temporarily increases until the end of the battle. Resistance can be stacked up to 9 stacks) - Description

. On the home planet of this monarch, who values organic harmony and order, peace and order were maintained without conflict or anything in the collective consciousness of organic matter. Until a conqueror's fleet destroys their homeland, labeling it as an ‘abhorrent amalgam'.

Then a single piece of cell broke off into the dark hump of space and began its eon-long journey.

“no. oh my god. “This is Alex Mercer, this is Abathur.”

After seeing the message, Yooseong muttered in bewilderment. However, Yooseong already possesses the body of a boneless high-ranking vampire of the Heavenly Demon. Moreover, all kinds of strange powers residing in the body were no exception.

As a player, Yoosung has already seen and experienced too many things to harbor deep philosophical agony between the border between monsters and humans.

Adaptive cell armor that has super regenerative abilities and even increases resistance as certain attacks are repeated.

At first glance, it was a fraud, and in reality, it was probably an ability that was close to fraud. We have already

clearly witnessed the capabilities of the adaptive cell armor at the Tier 8 Tower of Apocalypse and against the Fusion Lord .

I just turned my back.

‘Did you think we would kneel in front of this universe's cancerous tumor of a star that needs to disappear...!'

A conqueror's fleet invades their shattered home planet. And in the darkness of the universe, the solitude of a cell fragment that must have traveled for eternity came to mind, inadvertently, the final scream of the fusion monarch.

It was something Yooseong could not have known. I couldn't even help but laugh at the thought of a space fleet. In the first place, after the tower was built on this Earth, even satellites could not be launched properly.

Leaving behind an unknown bitterness, a shooting star crossed the Great Hall of the Kremlin Palace.

As a court jester, a king-slayer of heroes, and an enemy of the world.

“Mr. Yoo Yoo-seong!”

As soon as they left the Kremlin Palace’s Great Hall, the first person to run out was the Virgin Mary. Ignoring the reporters and cameras crowding around under control, the saint approached Yoosung and that was the end.

“...Why did it stop?”

“yes? What stops you?”

When Yooseong asked, Maria did not understand the meaning for a moment and tilted her head.

“no. “I thought he would give me a hug or a kiss on the cheek out of emotion in front of reporters like this.”

“...Are you out of your mind?”

“Oh, am I always in my right mind?”

At Yoosung's words, Maria took a deep breath in shock and then smiled, saying she knew that would happen.

“I’m glad you came back safely.”

“Then why did you know that you wouldn’t come back safely?”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and turned his head. Towards the reporters gathered as if they were going to pour over the barricade.

“Why did you all come together to see something like that? “Have you come to see the heinous terrorist who recently committed a tower break attack and is irresponsibly neglecting the player’s mission?”

“...I’m asking Yoosung, so can you please keep your words to yourself?”

“Oh, of course.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders at the saint's request.

“I don't know what the CIPO (International Players' Police Organization) players are doing. They're not arresting the criminals here. Please catch me. I'll just beat them all up and play gimbap in the cafeteria. “Let’s do this. And from now on, let’s line up the bastards who spit in front of me, throw them into the tower, and let them protect world peace on my behalf.”

Maria's expression froze and it was at that moment that a voice was heard:

“...Hero King.”

“Hey, aren’t you the sword owner from the neighborhood next to Russia? You didn’t even show your nose while fighting. Are you busy with something?”

Yooseong sarcastically said it was someone else's business, but Geomju remained silent. After the silence, he asked again,

“You faced the monarch alone... did you defeat him?”

“Oh, as you can see.”

UW

...

After hearing those words, the sword master fell silent.

It was a very complex silence.

“...Is that so?”

After silence, the sword master quietly nodded

,

“Player Kang Yu-seong.” Geomju

said

Yoo Seong’s name and continued ,

“...and the king of heroes.”

.......

“You were right from the beginning.”

“What do you mean?”

“You truly live up to the name of a hero.”

“No. Why are you acting so scary all of a sudden?”

On the contrary, Yooseong was taken aback by that sight and asked back. The sword master paid no heed and continued,

“I salute you for the sacrifice and effort you showed for this world.”

Click, click!

The scene was captured on the cameras of reporters in the area, and flashes went off endlessly. Just like that, Geomju turned around and stood in front of the reporters and opened his mouth. “

And what he said is right.”

“What do you mean?”

“That day, during the Plague Lord raid... the battle line of the Chinese guild I was in charge of collapsed.”

Murmur.

“I could have sacrificed my life to maintain the line, but I could not. However, the fight was able to continue thanks to the sacrifice of the fallen subordinates of the hollow guild, no... the true heroes, who stood there and risked their lives until the very end

. In the end, all of those heroes died...

In shock, silence fell and the sword lord Gamal continued.

“This coward ran away because he was afraid of dying alone.”

The Chinese hero Kenju continued speaking.

“Is it true that you really abandoned your men and ran away during the Plague Lord raid?”

“...That’s right.”

The sword master answered, and Maria and Yoosung

held their breath. There were murmurs everywhere.

“But the King of Heroes here, Player Kang Yu-seong, did not run away.”

The sword master continued.

“Rather, when the heroes of the Hollow Guild fell one after another there, creating a vacuum in the battle line, we took the risk and jumped in there to confront the Plague Lord.”

U ?

......

“Player Kang Yoo-seong is truly the ‘King of Heroes’ without a doubt. And I am just a coward who ran away out of fear of death. “I have tried to deny that fact and turn my head away, but it is the truth.”

“...

“I still think about it every night. “If I had stayed where I was and not run away at that time, wouldn’t the ‘real heroes’ who fell in my place have been able to live at least one more time?”

There were ten heroes. I believed that this world was protected by them and would continue to be so.

Even if several heroes die, new heroes are born in their place and the positions of ten are maintained.

It was an order that had been established over six seasons, and everyone in the world had no doubt about that order.

However, the Russian hero was corrupted by the power of the ‘abhorrent amalgamation lord'.] It was broadcast live in front of everyone in the world. Furthermore, the ugly truth about Geomju was revealed.

How easily those who believe they are heroes without any doubt can fall into villains.

People in the world still do not understand its weight.

But not anymore.

“Heroes are people too.”

Therefore, Yoosung left the kneeling Geomju behind and opened his mouth as if it were someone else's business.

Not long after, the top floor of a high-rise residential building in Beijing, China.

Rain was pouring down outside the window without any forecast.

Geomju remained silent as he looked down at the night view of Beijing unfolding outside the window.

There was a time when he too held a sword to protect the world.

Not anymore.

When the disgusting Fusion Lord descended and Moscow was threatened, the Sword Master was able to get there faster than anyone else. We could have saved at least one more life and minimized some of the damage.

But it didn't do that. Even when the saint saved the people and the king of heroes confronted the monarch, I had no choice but to watch.

Because the party did not want that.

There was no such thing as a hero. There is nothing more than a puppet of the party and a clown in a showcase manipulated and exaggerated by the mass media who spout the party's words like a parrot.

“You acted really rashly.”

Just then I heard a voice. Without even a trace, a silhouette appeared in his residence.

“However, considering the performance and loyalty you have shown so far, the party has decided to give you another chance.”

“Opportunity?”

“Officially, the Sword Lord never abandoned the Hollow Guild’s men during the Plague Lord raid. Instructions will be issued as soon as the specific scenario is decided. Until then, please refrain from exposing yourself to the media.”

“...Scenario.”

The sword master sneered at those words.

“I’m sick of being your puppets and clowns.”

“Does the coward who used his subordinates as meat shields to live alone plan to pretend to be a hero now?”

“How could a coward who abandoned his subordinates for his own sake dare claim to be a hero?”

The swordsman responded bitterly to the shadow's mockery.

The image of a true hero suddenly came to mind. The undisputed king of heroes.

“Well, I guess it’s good. “Then you probably know the end of a useless puppet.”

Sreung.

The shadow exhaled coldly and the sword lord looked at the sword in silence.

“...Geomju committed suicide.”

Master Park’s voice came through the receiver. Yoosung was startled by those words and held his breath.

“I beg your pardon?”

“The Chinese government is planning to officially announce that Geomju committed suicide because he could not overcome his guilt. There is still an embargo. “It will spread throughout today.”

Master Park’s voice came through the receiver.

“Anyway, the Mistress leaked the information and said that it was not a suicide, but that she had committed suicide.”

One of the ten heroes and a player with the name ‘Mistress'. The unofficial power figure of CIPO and, furthermore, the head of a large intelligence organization encompassing the entire Western world.

He is an apostle who is officially under a contract with the ‘Lord of Lies' and is a mysterious player whose facts are unknown whether he is real or not.

“Assassination?”

“okay.”

“Well, honestly, there’s nothing surprising. Still, you should be able to completely trust what she says.”

“I looked for it on this route as well. In the first place, do you think you can assassinate a player of that level without even realizing it? “The evidence was just overwhelming.”

Regardless, one of the ten heroes is officially the top player on the ranking board.

It is virtually impossible to literally ‘assassinate' a player who possesses that level of strength. Inevitably, no matter what, the form and evidence of the fight will inevitably remain.

At the same time, a man strong enough to defeat a sword master is still at the bottom of the ranking board... in the deep sea, keeping silent.

Powerhouses of the deep sea.

To them, saving the world, the mission they had to perform as players, or even the honor of being a hero meant nothing. Even as the world is being destroyed, they are only moving for the ideology of the organization and country they belong to.

Considering the severity of the threat, black players who commit crimes out of pleasure are far better off.

“It’s a really shitty world.”

“That’s right.”

I couldn't help but realize how fleeting the names of the ten heroes the world was putting forward were.

Even those who officially stand in front of the camera and boast about it are ultimately nothing more than puppets.

That's why Yoosung shrugged his shoulders. I just turned my head.

“So what are you going to do?”

“Why, when an unemployed person has nothing to do, is there anything else to do?”

“What are you going to do?”

“game.”

Yoosung spoke and continued without the slightest hesitation.

“View the list of towers you can enter.”

A hologram window appeared along with the command. No, I was trying to think of it. It was right then.

［?? The grade accessory 《Token of Trust〉 exerts a powerful influence. Do you want to answer the call of the tower?]

[Queen of Conquest's Tower]

[Tier 8 hard war format, minimum number of players allowed to enter, maximum 2 stores available]

[Strategy goal: Victory for your faction]

[Special details: As a special reward ?? You can awaken the grade accessory 《Token of Trust〞!］

“What kind of tower are you going to enter?”

“Ah, it’s difficult to tell you because the Queen said she wanted to see me quietly.”

“What Queen?”

Master Park tilted his head over the phone, but Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Then I’ll be back for a bit.”

Immediately afterwards, a halo of light enveloped the meteor.

[Entering the Conqueror Queen's Tower....]

The desert elf that Yooseong knew was there earlier.

When I first saw her, she was a captive princess who fell into the hands of the Holy Kingdom. After being rescued by a shooting star, she was reborn as the queen of the Ayyuub elf nation and is now called the ‘conquering queen.'

The Syrian queen was there, sitting on a throne.

“It’s nice to see you again, stranger.”

“I am also glad to see you again,

Your Majesty.”

The very conquering queen smiled and called out to Yoo Seong. That's why Yoosung also smiled and quietly expressed his respect.

“So now which kingdom do you wish to conquer?”

“It is not a kingdom.”

Yoosung asked, and the Syrian Queen smiled bitterly and shook her head.

There was a brief silence, and at the end of the silence, the queen opened her mouth.

“—Empire.”

At that time, a voice was heard calling another player. After seeing the name and tier of the tower, the player laughed quietly.

After that, he opened his mouth after setting up the equipment and skill deck, which he intentionally kept hidden so as not to reveal them on the ranking board.

“I will enter the tower.”

As a player who once killed the Steel Lord's apostle, Sword Lord, and was reborn as a new ‘Apostle of the Steel Lord'.

Furthermore, as a player who has entered into a dual contract with two monarchs and has become an apostle of both monarchs.
