Insanely-Talented Player

Chapter 18



Episode 18

With the thrust, the meteor's body rushed in, and the cold rapier struck towards Natasha Ivanova's silhouette. At the same

time,

there was the sound of ice and iron clashing together. Before she knew it, what was in her hands were two swords held upside down.

‘Dual wielding swords.'

Players do not easily reveal their monarch with their own words. However, it was not difficult to predict which monarch they had signed a contract with by looking at the weapons and skills of most players.

Except for a few monarchs that are extremely rare or have neutral attributes, such as meteors.

Contractor of the Assassin Lord.

Natashi crossed his dual swords in an At the same time, a steel snake glided towards the shooting star, aiming for that gap.

Kaang

At the same time, a shadow blade rose from beneath the meteor's feet and deflected Natasha's blow.

The distance was widened and a brief confrontation ensued.

‘The rest of the players are close by.'

Natasha's helpers who enter this tower and remain silent. After understanding the situation and after a standoff, Yoosung spoke.

“Did you say he was from the Red Mafia and was chased by the Russian government and smuggled into Busan Port with his subordinates?”

“Oh my god, are you going to arrest me and throw me in jail?”

“No, I don’t know what you believe and why everyone is so relaxed in front of me.”

Yoosung said.

“Natasha Ivanova, a player belonging to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). “I don’t know your real name and it’s none of my business, so let’s move on.”

”Needless to say, the group they're with are Spetsnaz players, right? “He must be thinking of driving me to the brink of death and then handing me over to a zombie.”

Players cannot kill players while in the tower. However, inflicting damage on each other and giving up the final blow to the tower's monster is ultimately the same as being killed by the tower.

“You knew about that and decided to come in.”

“Who came here because they wanted to become zombie food? It’s because this is the only way to steal legendary skills.”

Just as Yooseong had previously taken the sword master's sword skills as a reward for conquering the tower, in order to take away her skills, it was necessary to ultimately walk into the trap on one's own.

You have to kill the player outside the tower because any equipment or skills the player has will also disappear.

“I knew that would happen.”

Natasha laughed coldly after hearing Yoosung’s words. I twisted one of my dual swords in a reverse hand and held it upward.

“Given the actions you have shown so far, I thought you would respond even if you knew this was a trap. And the prediction was correct.”

“There is no word for retreat in the dictionary of hero characteristics.”

“...As a result, nothing will change in the operation itself. In the end, I fell into a trap using legendary skills as bait.”

“Hmm, like a villain, it’s nice to see you thinking positively and not giving up.”

Yooseong said after hearing that.

“I have big dreams and ambitions, and I don’t neglect my efforts to achieve my goals. I don’t get discouraged when I fail, and I laugh a lot…

Taang

“Always moves in an organized manner.”

Immediately afterwards, a gunshot rang out. And this place was literally a city full of collapsed ruins everywhere.

When players above a certain level attack the tower, the firearm itself is not a very useful weapon.

However, guns are still a threat to players in versus-player battles, especially right after the season resets. Furthermore, the fact that it can be quite effective for killing without having to difficultly farm skill cards makes it

the most efficient weapon for mass-produced players.

A meteor hit the ground and raced amidst a rain of bullets. Considering that the speed of bullets fired from a rifle is usually around 600 to 1000 m/s. Even if the player's nerves are 0W, they cannot move faster than a bullet.

It should have been so.

However, Yooseong’s body accelerated explosively and rushed toward the ground. The asphalt road on which the shooting star had been walking until just moments ago was torn to pieces, and a barrage of bullets belatedly rained down on the spot like a beehive.

For evasion, he used the ‘stab' skill and narrowed the distance between him and Natashi.

“Anyway, what should I do with this? I came across a hero who has no purpose in life other than trampling on other people’s dreams and ambitions.”

Immediately after, a wall of ice rose up around the shooting star as if blocking it.

Taang

“One sniper and three rifle players.”

Leaving behind the blow that struck the shield of cold, Yooseong assessed the state of the enemy's armament.

“And one sword holder.”

Kaang!

Immediately after, Natasha's dual swords rushed in, and a shadow blade rose from beneath the meteor's feet. It took the form of a sharply sharpened skewer pointed right in front of her nose.

.......

Sreung.

The tip of the blade passed in front of her retina just a few millimeters apart. Immediately after, the cold shield around the meteor broke and ice fragments began to scatter.

A bombardment of ice rained down from above. Blades of shadow rose endlessly from beneath my feet.

The distance from Natasi widened again, and the cold shield collapsed, revealing a gap. However, at the place where the gun was pointed, the shooting star had already disappeared.

“Kamang, let’s eat.”

Yooseong said as he hid behind cover early. Then the black bird responded by stretching out its front legs.

— Meow

The cat jumped up and started running, and the bullets raining down on him had no meaning.

Immediately afterward, black birds rushed towards one of the players hiding behind cover.

Smirk. The black man's mouth was torn in a grotesque way, like a crescent moon, and the monster's maw emerged from beneath his feet.

Like a whale leaping out to catch a bird out of the water, the monster's jawbone swallowed a player.

There wasn't even a chance for a scream to go out.

Kwasik!

At the same time, there was the sound of something being torn apart. It was the sound of flesh, blood, and rice being torn apart. The shadow at Blackman's feet was stained blood red, like ink in water. There were no screams until the end.

Bubble bubble.

There were only a few bubbles rising, containing the last breath.

“one.”

Looking at that scene, Yoosung muttered coldly.

“I’m left alone! Get out of that cat’s shadow

!”

“Easier said than done. I also thoroughly reviewed the pre-study, focusing on the national exam, but my grades were...

Ignoring Natasha's shouting, Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else's business.

gulp!

“It’s just whale food, whale food.”

Soon, the shooting star also escaped from cover and began kicking the ground. Immediately after, they rushed towards a player armed with a rifle and the frost sword was swung.

Kaang!

The player belatedly threw away his rifle, pulled out a knife from his waist, and struck back at the meteor's frost sword. It was player equipment.

One player barely managed to block the blow, and before they knew it, Natasha, holding dual swords behind her, rushed in. Yooseong turned around and blocked her blow.

Immediately after, players rushed to target Yooseong, who had his back turned, but a jet-black skewer rose from beneath Yooseong's feet.

“Ahh ah 0}Agh’!”

A skewer-shaped shadow blade rose above the retina, tore through the skull and brain, and protruded beyond the top of the head.

Players cannot kill players inside the tower. As long as you don't inflict a fatal wound and give up the final blow to the tower.

However, this does not mean that even the pain they experience is a lie. In the first place, creatures called humans do not die that easily. Not to mention the player's body, which far exceeds the common sense of the average person.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for a person to collapse mentally after suffering to the point of begging for death.

Players cannot be killed by having their retinas torn out or their skulls skewered. Yoo Seong also knew that fact.

In the tower, it is several times more efficient to destroy players than to kill them.

“Fields,”

Yooseong calmly spat out amidst a scream that was beyond terrifying.

“Ahh ah 0}Agh’!”

Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out not far away. I could tell after listening. It would have been better to have been swallowed without even being able to scream.

“My legs, my legs’.....!”

There was a player there who lost both legs. He is desperately crawling on the floor, spilling out his intestines below his waist.

Looking at that, Kamangi smiled. As if savoring the struggles of a prey that cannot escape.

“Oh, don’t come, don’t come…

The monster’s maw erupted from beneath my feet again.

“three.”

Yooseong stretched out his arms. A barrage of ice bolts swirled from the fingertips and struck the sniper taking cover from afar.

“four.”

.......

“One more time.”

Yoo Seong muttered calmly as he looked at Natasha, who was the last one left behind. Immediately after, Natasha kicked the ground and rushed forward.

Immediately after, a shadow swirled beneath her feet and covered the entire area. It was a skill that Yooseong could not have known about.

A veil of darkness. One of the final level skills with three attributes: darkness and assassination barrier.

Sigh!

At the same time, her dual swords pierced the curtain, tore through Yooseong's chest, and protruded behind his back. Nevertheless, Yoosung did not even move.

“Things in the world don’t go as planned, do they?”

Yoosung finally opened his mouth after silence. Natasha's expression froze after hearing those words.

“How on earth...

it made no sense. Neither the veil of darkness she was spreading nor the dual swords piercing Yoosung's chest had any meaning.

Because it was all fake.

“To catch me, you pretended to have a dark attribute legendary skill. Still, I didn’t believe it, but he did have a truly legendary skill.”

“I knew from the beginning...

“No matter how lucky this game is, there’s no way a legend would come up that would appeal to me in such a timely manner.”

From the moment she first encountered the shooting star, she was already using legendary skills.

“Then it means that you are committing fraud, but in any case, you are using something that looks like a veil of darkness. In fact, my senses became blurred. The fact that you directly intervened in the other person's senses is true. Then in the end, there is only one.”

Yoosung also knew that fact. And as a player, I synthesized the above facts and came up with one answer.

“Oculus.”

“...

A legendary-level illusion attribute skill that can manipulate the target’s visual information.

“Someone who knows how to cheat is good at it, but he doesn’t seem to have any talent for cheating.”

Any remaining hope disappeared and Natasha collapsed helplessly.

It was right then.

[“B-16 captures multiple survivors in urban area. From now on, confidentiality protocols will be enforced.”]

[Warning: Tyrella's confidentiality unit has detected the presence of survivors!] A

deep, mechanical voice rang out along with the system message.

Quang!

Immediately afterwards, an explosion occurred. Toward a player suffering from wounds that were on the verge of death.

[Player——He passed away.] The

future knight, a heavy cavalry unit armed with reinforced exoskeleton-type armor, was there.

The light swirled. It was a barrage of plasma that destroyed everything.

[Player —— died.]

The actual boss and elite mob of the 5th tier tip appeared, and players began to face ‘real death’ one by one.

Comrades who could not die were killed by the tower, but Natasha could do nothing.

She is also a top 500 player in her own right. And I thought I had some understanding of the power of high-level players, even those in the top 10.

It wasn't.

That player she was up against was different.

Before we knew it, Tyrella's secrecy unit was pointing its guns at Natasha. A blob of blue-white energy began to waver at the tip of the gun.

Natasha did not resist and just remained silent as if resigned.

At that moment the world stopped.

However, it did not lose its color. The colors of gray and flame still remained in the world, and they meant only one thing.

“Such a waste.”

The girl's extremely inorganic voice was heard.

“The guys here died without even using up all their achievement points. It’s all their fault.”

Yooseong turned his head and saw a black-haired girl sitting there on a mat.
