Chapter 53. The Price of a Gamble (1) (2/2)
‘We’ve survived this far We’ll survive for three ht, but it only took three seconds for theant
Crack!
No one could block Rodomir’s strike when he attacked for real He was like the ruler of the battlefield, controlling it as he pleased If he wanted to kill so, he destroyed
“Keep going…keep going” The veteran Player whispered hoarsely as he stood back up His ar pitifully on his side
“Huu, huu”
He was a hu who could feel fear He wasn’t so hero either But even with that, there was a reason why he still wouldn’t lower his sword
‘No one can defeat hiht that before the battle Telling his teammates that they only had to survive for ten ht that they would be able to take this one guy down if they joined with the rest of the forces, but…
‘that’s not true’
Rodouy’ The real hunt would start when all the other dark elves had been annihilated and he was the only one left He was strong enough to be a one-man army
The veteran player realized that if the Gate had been a little older, Rodomir would have been the boss rants a star to a monster with 10,000 Players killed’ The only reason Rodoroup to atteht that Rodoh to kill 10,000 Players
“Huffhuff”
The only sounds that could be heard were the Players’ harsh breathings They could sense the despair in each others’ breaths
“Is that all?”
Rodoust as if they were insects The look in his eyes only angered the Players, and they used their weapons to prop theth left”
It didn’t really matter Whether it took him a hundred or a thousand tietting up But that time didn’t come
“”
Rodomir’s eyes narrowed His eyes were fixed on a certain hu toward him
“You knohat they say in movies at ti as if to show that his ribs were fine “Here coer!”
“This isn’t the 2010s”
“Cringe…”
“Jun-Ho-nim, that’s a little”
Seo Jun-Ho’s face fell “W-what are you saying? All the movies I’ve seen have lines like that”
Was he behind the ti a dad joke?
Seo Jun-Ho cleared his throat as his face started to turn red “Forget it Leave this guy to o support the main forces”
“Can you really take hi”
They see them a reason to retreat However, they wanted to protect their pride and honor
“Let us fight with you instead”
“Yes, I agree After crossing swords with hiht alone”
“It’ll be your fault if you die while fighting alone”
‘Why are they like this?’
Seo Jun-Ho’s frustration was starting to show on his face While he was getting treated, he thought about how he could use his skills without arousing suspicion The solution was obvious, but the others wouldn’t play long
“There’s no need to ponder” Rodoh over his head “I’ll just kill you all at once” He sith all his strength The force of his strike was like a slinted
“Hey!”
“Player Seo Jun-ho!”
Right before Rodo, Seo Jun-Ho had stabbed hiy exploded between them
“Kuh!”
“W-what?”
The Players were thrown back and they realized what had happened A black do as Cha Min-Woo banged on the doht?!”
A low voice came from the inside “Thisthe bastard usedI didn’t do ittrappedreally”
“Did he fall for the enemy’s trap?” Unable to hold back his frustration, Cha Min-Woo attacked the do we can do” The veteran Player approached Cha Min-Woo and sat cross-legged on the ground He stared at the dome bitterly “I don’t knoill step out once it’s overbut all we can do now is believe and wait”
“You’re right”
The Players sat in front of the large dome and waited
“What isthis?” Rodomir was uncharacteristically disoriented He looked around the pitch darkness that surrounded him
“This is Curtain of Darkness” Seo Jun-Ho stroked the wall affectionately “I usually make it to cover a small area to have private conversations, but soht now”
“So it’s your skill”
“Correct”
“Were you hiding your true strength?” Rodoed The darkness around him started to waver, and ice started to forer makes me feel like I’m the boss on Fang He tried to iine it the other way around If he had landed a near-fatal wound on a boss monster and it retreated to recover, only to come back with t skills
“Man, that 2nd phase would be a pain in the ass”
Of course, Seo Jun-Ho didn’t feel this way because it wasn’t a situation that he had to deal with
“So this is how bosses feel? How fun…” He laughed gleefully
