Chapter 23 Deal (3)
Rustle
‘fuck! They noticed us too soon I’ll have to steal this guy’s Tokens while Blood Sword and Foxy Tail are distracted And his artifacts too, if I can’
Franc and his ers in Section E
They were very fond of their job Under the guise of taking Tokens, they robbed players’ riches, artifacts and everything else Artifacts were divided areatly increase their battle prowess If they were lucky enough, they could even obtain some skill books Tokens could be sold to top rankers at very high prices
Also, there were several places that were in need of live players Varying from workers or slaves, to prostitutes, livestock, and even human specimens for experimental purposes People had a variety of uses for their bodies, so they didn’t have to worry about where to sell them Who wouldn’t want a piece of such a lucrative business?
What was better was that this guy was the teammate of top rankers like Kahn and Doyle No one kne ht have received fro to sneak behind Kahn and Doyle, he was expecting to get a great deal of return fro up And as expected, Kahn and Doyle hadn’t noticed their a by the fire, unaware of his i before Franc and his minions jumped out fro a white ht to hi and opened his eyes wide Just like an illusion, there was nothing in the place where his sword had slashed
Instinct told him to look up, and there he saw the white ht in front of hi like a will-o’-wisp
“…!”
A terrible chill ran through his body
Spurt
Fro Franc’s body, knocking him over to his back
“hat the hell?”
“B, bo, boss!”
The rest of the scavengers behind Franc faltered for a moment
In the meantime, Yeon-woo turned around and threw hiliding through the forest under the dark sky re aers to shi+ver in fear
What was supposed to be a prey, turned out to be a predator that killed Franc with one slash And the sheer look of his glowing eyes
One of the scavengers at the front ed to fend off Yeon-woo’s attack Then the ated
Wait, h! Maybe Franc’s carelessness let this guy get the better of him We are superior in nuuy if we attack all at once, right?
All the scavengers thought of the saht, jumped to the same conclusion, and they all rushed towards Yeon-woo in unison
Swish
“You son of a bitch!”
“Die, you motherfucker!”
But of course, that was Yeon-woo’s trap to draw theer interlocked with the eneht beneath the scavenger in front of hier with his left hand holding it in reverse and iht in the neck
Spurt
Blood sprayed upward like a fountain as the dagger severed his jugular vein Yeon-woo then threw the dagger in between the fountain of blood, piercing another scavenger’s head Soon after, he ran straight back to the three scavengers sneaking behind, and swiftly cut their waist, neck, and shoulder
“H, how the hell… Gurgle”
“fuck!”
The scavengers then realized it was all a trap and wanted to retreat But it was too late now, so they still tried to pressure and exhaust Yeon-woo by relying on their numbers
Contrary to their wish, Yeon-ent on a ra each and every one of them He parried a knife that fleards him and stabbed into their neck, waist, and heart He blocked a spear ai at his blind spot with his arm, snapped it into half, and cut off the head of its wielder
Yeon-woo’s inhuman movement made theers attacked Yeon-woo, he dodged all of their attacks and even launched counterattacks And each ti all over the grass
They felt as if they had been possessed by a ghost
“R, run!”
They finally realized they had uy and tried to make an escape
Swish
Puck
Yeon-woo threw a dagger towards the head of the first one to run away, and then quickly chased after the others His speed was too fast and direction unpredictable, so they could do nothing but to hopelessly await their deaths Fear had grabbed their ankles Terror was slowly eating them up from the inside
The three of theers It was more than he had expected
Kahn asked Yeon-woo all of a sudden
“Why did you let them come near?”
“The more Tokens, the better”
“Man, you are seriously out of your htly
He was saying that fro he had planned to lure them in in order to kill them all in the same spot
Of course, there were also other players in Section E who used a siy to Yeon-woo These players specifically hunted down the scavengers by disguising thelers But even so, it was only possible when facing against s together in an organized syste nu at all
Was it because he had trust in Kahn and Doyle, or because he was confident in his own skills?
‘Or maybe it’s both’
Meanwhile, Yeon-woo had been looting Tokens froers’ bodies
“81? See time”
Yeon-as duers corpses He had only found five Tokens while searching around the forest with his senses strengthened But they were carrying almost a hundred with thes only carried one or two, most of them were found on the ones who looked like the leaders
“It’s been a while since new players had entered Section E That’s probably as leftover after selling most of the for Tokens and fighting for them 81 is a small number compared to that”
Doyle provided an explanation with a smile on his face
“But that’s only possible because they were scavengers Most players probably have 10 Tokens or less”
