Chapter 387
"Clear it alone. This doesn't really restrict me in any way."
Since I wanted to clear the regular quest anyway, I tried to summon only 5 or fewer players.
Whether it's 5 people or alone, the actual power level will be the same.
The only thing is...
"The last regular quest I received told me to go up to level 10, but the epic quest requires a clear."
Boss rush clear.
How far do I have to go to do this?
Sung JiHan opened his mouth while looking at the floating alien chat window.
"Boss rush... How many levels are there?"
-There's no end to the levels, right?
-From what I saw, it went up to level 14.
-From level 6 and above, the boss level that appears is on a different dimension...
-Isn't it a system where the participants clear it together if they lose?
The aliens kindly answered Sung JiHan's question in their own way.
From their combined words, it seemed that the survivor who lasts until the end among the 20 players clears the boss rush.
"Depending on the level of the competition, it might end before reaching level 10."
If that's the case, is the regular quest harder?
Sung JiHan thought so and looked at the epic quest again.
"But there's no reward here. It wasn't like this before."
While there was a level-up reward in the regular quest.
The epic quest didn't have a reward slot at all.
In the epic quest I received before, there was definitely a reward slot, so it's strange.
Sung JiHan stared at the quest window for a moment.
"But let's accept it for now."
He clicked 'yes'.
Then, a total of 8 regular quests and 1 epic quest appeared.
Sung JiHan ended up completing 9 quests with this boss rush mission.
[In 5 minutes, round 1 will begin.]
It seems to be asking to summon supporting players, as 5 minutes were given before the game started.
And as the message disappeared...
Flash! Flash!
In the screen showing the competition arena of the opponents.
The opposing players started summoning their power without hesitation.
-Oh... The competition opponents are summoning players like crazy.
-Wow, it's almost like an army.
-Now I understand why this map is so big.
-Sung JiHan, don't you have to summon players with a lot of sponsors too...?
-Will it be helpful? It's a relief as long as they don't hold me back, lol.
-It's better than having nothing, but still...
Human viewers worried about Sung JiHan, asking if he should summon players.
However...
"For personal reasons, I will be doing this alone this time."
Sung JiHan said with a calm face.
-What?? Alone??
-Are you kidding? I trusted you and put all my GP on you...??
-Is he crazy? He's putting all his GP on a candidate for the Holy See, lol.
-He's not even a candidate for the Holy See, right? He doesn't have any supporting players.
-No, he's different. He had supporting players.
-Really? But why didn't he summon them?
-Yeah, even if the human race's performance is bad, it's still beneficial to throw them as meat shields...
-Yeah, in the end, the rankings are decided by a few seconds difference, and he's not doing that.
The aliens showed a more intense reaction than the humans in response to Sung JiHan's answer.
Perhaps because there was GP at stake, there were many chats criticizing Sung JiHan for what he was doing.
Sung JiHan was scrolling through the chat when he suddenly asked, "By the way... can we do self-betting here? Where can I find it?"
Ignoring the summoning requests from sponsor players, Sung JiHan showed interest in the betting aspect instead.
- The game has already started, so it's not possible.
- You should have done it before entering the first round.
- Why don't you check the arena section? The participants might be different.
After listening to the stories from the extraterrestrial beings, Sung JiHan looked for the betting section in the arena category of the system.
"Oh, it's still available?"
He thought he wouldn't be able to bet since it was right before the start of the first round, but the betting in the arena was still open.
Sung JiHan checked his odds.
"Odds of 70 times... I'm in last place."
Among the 20 participants, he confidently held the possibility of being the last.
-Sung JiHan with odds of 70 times?
-Wow, on Earth, there's no such thing as odds, haha.
-Extraterrestrials have it easy. They can easily make money...
-I also want to bet on Sung JiHan... It's the easiest way to make money.
-It doesn't show up on the Battle.net betting site.
-Hurry up and introduce the arena, please TT
People envied the odds of 70 times.
Since humanity had never experienced failure with Sung JiHan, they felt that this opportunity was too good to miss.
-Even though he can't summon a single player, why are the odds only 70 times? Hahaha.
-It's because the administrator is interested. Originally, it should be 200 times.
-Why can't we modify the bet? The first round hasn't started yet!
-It's ridiculous that Sung JiHan can bet GP but can't modify the bet...
-Sung JiHan, hurry up and fail so we can all go down together...!
While humanity had absolute faith in Sung JiHan, the extraterrestrial beings were already convinced of their defeat.
Sung JiHan chuckled when he saw the chat suggesting that he should bet as well.
"I should bet GP too? Alright. I need to copy some GP this time."
Since he had no use for the GP he had accumulated anyway.
Sung JiHan left only the minimum amount of GP and bet the rest on himself.
Meanwhile, in another place, they were summoning players and preparing for defense.
Here, they leisurely bet money and waited for five minutes to pass.
-This is hopeless, seriously...
-Wow, why are there so many ruling seats... There are more than 10 places that have summoned over 500 players.
-Even the solitary ruling seats don't stay alone. They summon 50 players each, so why is this one ruling seat alone?
-Oh, there must be a reason, haha.
While those who bet on Sung JiHan were sensing their impending defeat.
[The first round is about to begin.]
The game started.
* * *
The boss rush began, and Sung JiHan stood in the middle.
Facing the giant monster, Sung JiHan casually opened his mouth.
"You said it was weak until the 5th stage?"
Then, his sword moved once.
Chiik!
The giant monster's body burst into flames and soon exploded in all directions.
Then, a message appeared.
[You have cleared the 5th round.]
[You have cleared the normal quest 'Boss Rush 5th Stage.']
"It's really weak."
He looked at the exploding body of the monster and calmly stepped back.
-Wow... he won again?
-Winning is not the problem. He's one-shotting the boss as soon as it appears.
-Even the competing ruling seats have eliminated about three, but he's playing a different game alone...
- Every time I watch, it feels like he's getting stronger...
The boss rush has progressed until the 5th round.
The opponents that came out here were giant beings that were as big as the vast map start.
"700 days of training were not in vain."
By avoiding the celestial turmoil, Sung JiHan, whose soul power had skyrocketed, was able to easily handle this level of enemies with just basic martial arts.
While the competing players were engaged in battles with the summoned players against the boss.
"Oh... Am I going to be eliminated for the second time?"
Sung JiHan crossed his legs and lay down, watching the competition of his opponents.
"Look at you, so relaxed, finishing the game by yourself and lying down."
"Exactly!! I knew it!! Players who receive attention from the administrator are different after all."
"Why didn't you bet on Sung JiHan? Don't you guys have eyes?? Does GP really have that much value?"
"Just a while ago, those who were complaining about bankruptcy are now all fired up lol"
Seeing Sung JiHan's power, the aliens who had completely changed their attitude from before.
"But it will change when it reaches the 6th round."
"That's when it gets real... Just watch."
"The ones who couldn't finish the game until now will die first, and Sung JiHan, who is lying down and resting, will die first?"
"Well, Sung JiHan, who has no one to sacrifice to protect the crystal, can be at a disadvantage."
"Alright, I'll take all the GP, so hurry up and hand it over."
"So why can't you finish it like this?? Sung JiHan cut it in 10 seconds, didn't he?"
"They're more excited now."
Sung JiHan chuckled as he watched the aliens who bet money on themselves go wild.
When it comes to money, it doesn't matter what race you are.
After finishing the 5th round alone and watching other players play the game.
Crash!
"It's over now."
After seeing the crystal of the competing player shatter on the screen, he stood up from his seat.
"Two more eliminated, 14 left."
Boss rush with only 15 players left, including Sung JiHan.
Compared to the beginning, a quarter of them had already been eliminated.
And.
[Round 6 begins.]
[A powerful enemy appears.]
The 6th round started immediately.
Shoooo...
Beyond the arena, a huge purple whirlwind was created.
And within it, a massive current surged.
And then, a message appeared rising above it.
[The boss of round 6, 'Brain God'.]
'Brain God?'
The opponent is the Brain God.
Sung JiHan narrowed his eyes.
'Hasn't he already disappeared?'
The Brain God had resisted to protect his divine throne but was completely suppressed by the God of War.
Only the leader of the Brain God escaped and tried to become a new existence through the enemy's lightning.
But in the end, he hid in Sung JiHan and tried to devour him.
'And then he exploded along with the High Elf. He was a really helpful guy...'
Thinking of the leader of the Brain God, the enemy who sacrificed himself to help him, Sung JiHan was lost in memories for a moment.
Rumble...
As electricity surged in the distance, he looked in that direction.
The current gathered together, forming a massive figure.
Thump! Thump!
The boss 'Brain God', who had formed a certain shape, completely emerged from the purple whirlwind.
'This guy is also a lion.'
The opponent is a massive lion-like figure, a combination of blue currents and purple emptiness.
"No... a brain god as soon as the 6th round?"
"They said a powerful enemy would appear, but this is too intense."
"This might be dangerous."
"Ah, I can't summon the meat shield... how disappointing."
As the brain god, Sung JiHan, who was known as a powerful being among the gods, appeared, the viewers began to tense up.
Thump! Thump!
The giant lion took step by step towards Sung JiHan's crystal.
Then, it lowered its gaze.
What the lion saw was Sung JiHan, who was a mere existence compared to itself.
One.
"You... could it be..."
Tremble...!
Upon seeing Sung JiHan, the lion began to emit currents in all directions.
"So, you're Sung JiHan!"
"Huh?"
"Yes, to meet you here!"
The giant lion was filled with extreme anger as it looked at Sung JiHan.
Sung JiHan, seeing the lion's reaction, could tell who the opponent was.
"You're the leader of the brain gods, right? How are you here? You should have died in the explosion!"
"Because of you, I was dragged here!"
"Because of me?"
"...I'll kill you. I'll kill only you!"
The leader of the brain gods expressed extreme anger towards Sung JiHan.
"Kryaaah!"
Crackle!
Although intense lightning bolts were pouring towards Sung JiHan, they were quickly absorbed into his phoenix wings.
"What...?"
"When you died, I also grew a lot. But you've become weaker."
"Kuh, damn it!"
Crackle!
Unable to contain his anger at Sung JiHan's words, the brain god released currents.
However, his resistance did not impress Sung JiHan.
The brain god that appeared now was much weaker compared to when he confronted the gods.
"The 6th round is nothing special. Let's finish this quickly."
Yawning, Sung JiHan approached.
Despite his relaxed appearance,
Crackle...!
Every time the sword and spear moved, chunks of the brain god's body disappeared.
"What... what kind of strength is this!?"
"I trained for 700 days to get this strong."
"700 days... and that's all you have? How far are you trying to deceive me...!"
"It's the truth."
Shaaaak!
As the sword moved, the brain god's body split apart.
Realizing that he was overwhelmed as soon as he appeared, he quickly turned his head towards the whirlpool of emptiness.
"Oh emptiness...! I will accept annihilation! So, let this person give it his all once!"
At his words, the whirlpool of emptiness paused for a moment.
And soon.
"Will you accept the brain god's proposal?"
A purple message window appeared in front of Sung JiHan.
N-M
