Chapter 116: Defense of Luxemb (3)
Splash! Splash! Splash!
On the monitoring screen, BlackChef was making his way somewhere, hunting down variant monsters.
“Isn’t this against the rules?”
“He’s free to do whatever he wants on the battlefield. He just won’t get any rewards. But I doubt his goal is the reward.”
“So he’s still going to PK even here……?”
“Yeah. Obviously.”
Depending on how well the participants and the Luxemb elite forces dealt with BlackChef, a situation might arise where the defense’s success or failure hinged on him.
They had to worry about enemies from within, as well as from without!
“This is the absolute worst. The variant monsters are already kicking our asses, and now we have BlackChef to deal with too……”
“Well, I’m not too worried.”
True to his word, Team Leader Jo didn’t look worried at all.
Kim Bu-ha couldn’t understand it.
“Huh? Why not?”
“Have you forgotten what kind of team we are?”
“Well, the 10th Branch Monitoring……”
“Come on! That’s the old name!”
“Ah, Kyung-joon Special Management Team! Don’t tell me……!”
As if he had figured something out, Kim Bu-ha immediately looked at the monitoring screen.
The straight line of BlackChef’s path.
Kyung-joon was right in that direction.
“BlackChef’s Epic Job 『Chef of Carnage』 has a skill called 『Mark』.”
If he knew the name of his PK target and they were within a few kilometers, he could immediately pinpoint their location.
“That’s how he’s tracking Kyung-joon. To PK him. Well…… I guess in his words, it wouldn’t be a simple PK, but 『cooking』.”
To BlackChef, Kyung-joon was a precious ingredient that he couldn’t hand over to anyone else.
During the Ogopogo Raid, he had already finished plenty of 『cooking』 in Whale Forest, so he hadn’t bothered to PK Kyung-joon then.
But now, BlackChef…
[User 『BlackChef』’s Epic Skill 『Serial K|ller (Lv.2)』]
▶Remaining Stat Absorption: 1 time
……was still hungry.
“Kyung-joon vs. BlackChef……!”
Kim Bu-ha gulped nervously.
He was worried.
Whether Kyung-joon could win.
After all, BlackChef was infamous within the company as a notorious PK player.
Meanwhile, Team Leader Jo still had a relaxed expression on his face.
His eyes held a look of confidence, as if he was sure of something.
“Let’s do a little thought experiment.”
“Yes?”
The team leader suddenly had an expression like Ha Jung-woo’s.
“We’re talking about players who shook the world of World.”
Infinite Knowledge Seeker, Kyung-joon.
Chef of Carnage, BlackChef.
“If the two of them were to clash here and now, who do you think would win?”
“……!!”
In any case.
The team leader had been waiting for this moment since Ogopogo.
The moment when BlackChef and Kyung-joon would finally clash.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
With the sound of General Koronel’s 『Advance!!!』, the Luxemb Defense Event began.
Kyung-joon, faster than anyone else, dashed forward.
[Unique skill 『Sylph Fly – Shadow Step (Lv.1)』 ]
[Unique skill 『Sylph Fly – Shadow Step (Lv.1)』 ]
[Unique skill 『Sylph Fly – Shadow Step (Lv.1)』 ]
Pang! Pang! Pang!
Every time Kyung-joon attempted a Shadow Step, a sonic boom erupted.
It took less than 10 seconds for Kyung-joon to disappear from the Energy Tower base beyond the horizon.
“Holy crap. Is that for real?”
“Is that a jet?”
“Why does it feel like he’s playing a different game?”
“He’s wearing beginner clothes, who the hell is he?”
“He’s not even on the rankings……”
The other players couldn’t help but seriously ponder Kyung-joon’s existence as they witnessed his display.
Pang! Pang! Pang!
About a minute had passed since he started using Shadow Step consecutively.
Kyung-joon was the first to arrive before the horde of variant monsters, ahead of any other player.
Teeming!
Swarming!
The entire view ahead was covered in darkness.
Writhing!
As they moved, it was as if the black earth itself had a will of its own and was squirming.
Facing thousands of variant monsters, Kyung-joon said,
“This is the perfect environment for testing.”
He flicked a paper airplane.
Floating. Gently floating.
The paper airplane soared high into the sky, carried by the wind.
The variant monsters paid no attention to it.
And so.
The moment Kyung-joon’s paper airplane reached the very center, right above the variant monsters.
[Advanced skill 『Energy Shooter Lv.2』 ]
[Fires a condensed energy bullet.]
Kyung-joon extended his finger and shot an energy bullet towards the sky.
Fwoosh!
The energy bullet hit the paper airplane without a single inch of error.
[Ignition key confirmed.]
Right above it, a status window popped up.
No.
It wasn’t just one.
[Ignition key confirmed.]
Another identical status window began to appear next to the first one.
And then.
Ding! Ding!
[Ignition key confirmed.]
[Ignition key confirmed.]
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!
[Ignition key confirmed.]
[Ignition key confirmed.]
.
.
.
[Ignition key confirmed.]
Tens, hundreds of status windows covered the sky.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The paper airplane that Kyung-joon threw.
It was 『Energy Bombard』, a new magic that Kyung-joon created solely for the Luxemb Defense Event.
It was a scroll inscribed with it.
The activation key for the scroll was 『the owner of the scroll attacking and hitting from a height of 5m or more in the air.』
The energy bullet Kyung-joon shot up was the trigger.
[Unique scroll 『Energy Bombard – Kyung-joon’s style writing method』 is activated.]
The 『Ignition key confirmed』 messages that covered the sky disappeared in an instant and were all replaced with new status windows.
[Phase 1: Constructing a nano parallel structure of mana. Number of cells to construct: 100.]
The first scroll to be activated was 『Multi Mana Control: Nano: Nano』.
The enormous amount of mana stored in the scroll began to spread widely around the sky.
And square-shaped mana cells began to be constructed.
Each and every one of the 100 mana cells, divided into a perfect 10×10 grid with no deviation of even 1 nanometer.
Magic began to be applied to each of them simultaneously.
[Phase 2: Condensing mana and converting it into an attributeless energy body.]
A hundred energy bodies condensed and condensed in the sky.
It was like the energy bullet that Kyung-joon uses.
[Condensation complete.]
The condensation was complete, but they weren’t fired.
They sparkled like dewdrops in the sky.
[Phase 3: 100 cells completed. Fixing the existing cells, an additional 100 x 8 cells will be constructed.]
While maintaining the energy bullets that had just been created, another energy body began to form around them.
What was once a 10×10 grid of cells.
Now it became a 30×30 grid of cells.
And this process continued to repeat.
[Phase 4: 900 cells completed. Fixing the existing cells, an additional 100 x 16 cells will be constructed.]
[Phase 5: 2,500 cells completed. Fixing the existing cells, an additional 100 x 24 cells will be constructed.]
[Phase 6:…..]
By the time Kyung-joon looked down at the variant monsters.
Countless energy bullets were hanging in the sky without being fired.
There seemed to be about 10,000 of them.
To be precise.
[Final phase: 12,100 cells completed.]
There were 12,100 of them.
[Initiating Energy Bombard.]
[An indiscriminate energy bombardment will strike an area of 100m x 100m centered on the scroll.]
Boom boom boom!
The energy bullets began to rain down incessantly.
Boom boom boom!
The ground exploded, kicking up dirt and dust, and the variant monsters were riddled with holes, sending a black bloodbath swirling through the air.
Boom boom boom! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Boom boom boom! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The bombardment continued.
Until all 12,100 energy bullets hanging in the sky were exhausted.
The bombardment never stopped.
Shhh.
How much time had passed?
The hot wind blew Kyung-joon’s hair back.
Soon the thick dust began to clear.
And something began to appear through the dust.
It was the remnants of the battlefield.
A feast of debris where everything was dead, the corpses themselves unidentifiable, scattered everywhere.
Anyone could tell for sure.
There were no living creatures left there.
If there was, it was only death.
[Variant Hobgoblin slain.]

[Luxemb Event Points gained: 232.]
[Variant Gray Fur Wolf slain.]
[Experience gained: 278,990.]
[Luxemb Event Points gained: 279.]
[Variant Armadillo slain.]

[Total experience gained: 26,745,510.]
[Total Luxemb Event Points gained: 26,746.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
▶Kyung-joon: Lv.150→Lv.154
He leveled up 4 times in an instant.
It would have been stranger if he hadn’t leveled up after instantly slaughtering nearly 1,000 variant monsters that were on average 100 levels higher than him.
This kind of hunting couldn’t be done in any other hunting ground.
No matter how many monsters there were in a field, there weren’t this many gathered in one place.
It was all thanks to the defense event that he could enjoy this honey-like experience.
And this honey couldn’t help but have a huge impact on Kyung-joon’s studies.
[Mythical skill 『Dimensional Study Room (Lv.2)』 ]
▶Time Dilation: 3.50x→3.54x
A new ability gained from upgrading the Dimensional Study Room skill to level 2!
Now, every time he levels up, Time Dilation increases by 0.01.
In the past, levels were just a way for Kyung-joon to make his activities a little more convenient, but now it was different.
As his level increased, his study efficiency increased proportionally.
So, faced with this golden opportunity to level up.
“There’s no reason not to enjoy the honey.”
He had made enough 『Energy Bombard』 scrolls for the Luxemb Defense.
Rumble!
There were still plenty of variant monsters left.
Clatter! Clatter!
A wave of black variant monsters surged in from the left, right, and front.
“Here goes.”
Flutter~
Kyung-joon folded another paper airplane and threw it.
They probably didn’t know.
That in a few seconds, that paper airplane would become a thunderbolt, burning them to ashes.
This was a fact that only Kyung-joon knew.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Minstrel of Cuteness.
It was the name of the Unique Job that BJMiguning had changed into.
As you can see from the name, the reason she got it is……
As you can guess from the name BJ.
She was a fairly famous streamer who had been broadcasting since before the release of The World.
Of course, she wasn’t a huge streamer with tens of thousands of viewers.
Still, she was a fairly big streamer with at least 1,000-2,000 viewers when she started broadcasting in the evening.
She was also good at telling stories, so she was sometimes featured on YouTube’s trending videos, and her number of subscribers had already exceeded 300,000 and was approaching 400,000.
Her characteristic as a streamer was that she kept her face and identity completely private and only competed with her unique voice.
Unlike other streamers who had the image of a ‘cute 20-something’, she was characterized by her cute, childlike voice, which worked out very well.
For example, the so-called ‘voice actor otaku’ or ‘seongdeok’ for short.
For seongdeok, BJMiguning was a perfect hit!
She was about to remain a minor but fairly famous streamer, but……
