Chapter 220
[There’s no way a guy like that challenged me. Check his identity again, and if it’s not him, find his weakness.]
After checking the response, Anchor’s eyes immediately grew cold.
In response, Ho Sung Lee widened his eyes and cowered his body.
“W-what’s wrong?”
Ho Sung Lee stepped backward in shock.
Anchor and his three subordinates opened their item windows and took out their weapons.
They gave off a very cold vibe.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Ho Sung Lee shouted.
Anchor grinned.
“I know everything. You came to Royce Village as a new player, caused a commotion, and that’s how you were able to send a challenge invite.”
“What kind of bullshit is that? That’s not me.”
Anchor glared at Ho Sung Lee while tilting his head.
“It’s not?”
“Yeah. That’s not me. You got the wrong guy. I’ll lead you to him. To the person you’re looking for.”
His trick worked.
And their owner, Oden, was right.
He was nothing but a puppet.
Someone who did nothing but his dirty work.
What then?
Anchor thought for a moment.
He thought about how to use Ho Sung Lee to their advantage.
And due to his extensive experience, he made his decision quickly.
This man in front of him was the best invitation possible.
Since the person who threw the challenge had to approach their opponent first, it was more useful for him to be ready as much as possible.
Just the thought of presenting his owner with this advantage made Anchor smile with joy.
“Okay. I get that you’re not that player, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need you.”
“What are you talking about? I said I’ll lead you to him.”
Anchor flashed an evil smile.
“It’s better for him to have a weakness.”
Ho Sung Lee stared at Anchor with frustration.
“No, listen to me. I’m not his weakness. You don’t know what kind of person he is. I can’t be your hostage.”
“Even if that’s the case, it’s better than having nothing. And who knows? You might become a good weapon for us. Snicker.”
“I can’t believe this.”
Ho Sung Lee swept his hair back with a yellow face.
***
Ho Sung Lee felt like his heart was going to explode.
He didn’t know what was going to happen to him if he got dragged away, and he was 100% certain that Min Sung Kang wouldn’t come to save him.
For that reason, he was in great danger.
He transformed into a supporter, so there was no possibility of him defeating a guy like him.
He had to run away to Min Sung Kang.
“Don’t even think about trying anything. Do you really think you can get away from us?”
Ho Sung Lee looked at Anchor and let out an awkward laugh.
“Haha. Why would I even think of doing that? Huh? Sir?”
Ho Sung Lee looked behind Anchor and his subordinates.
Anchor and his subordinates also looked in that direction, and at that moment, Ho Sung Lee immediately used his shadow skill.
Ho Sung Lee’s body disappeared. He became a shadow and went into the ground.
Ho Sung Lee began to run away through the ground and walls, and meanwhile, Bowl ran the other way.
“Shit...!”
Anchor soon realized they had run away and began their chase.
***
Min Sung, who was resting on his bed, lifted his head.
He sensed something.
And those senses became clearer and clearer.
“Five,” mumbled Min Sung.
Those were the number of people he sensed.
Unless they were unintentionally trying to hide, it wasn’t so difficult to find out their location.
Min Sung left his room.
He took the stairs to the 1st floor. He opened the wooden entrance door and stepped outside.
Since the sun had already set, it was dark.
Min Sung walked toward the direction his senses took him.
***
Since Ho Sung Lee had used his shadow skill, it was a little difficult to pursue him, but it wasn’t totally impossible.
As soon as Anchor got close to Ho Sung Lee’s shadow, he swung his sword.
Swoosh!
The Aura’s power launched quickly and impacted the shadow.
Ho Sung Lee almost looked like a plane that crashed.
He flung out from his shadow and rolled on the ground covered in blood.
Anchor let out a breath with a joyful smile.
“You bastard. How dare you try to run away? Huh?”
Anchor ran toward Ho Sung Lee’s squirming body and kicked him in the gut.
Pow!
Along with a loud noise, Ho Sung Lee’s body flew into the air and rolled on the ground once more.
“Cough! Ugh!”
Ho Sung Lee spat out blood and stared at Anchor approaching with hazy sight.
Anchor held up his sword and showed a vicious smile.
“Even if I end up taking you as a hostage, I’m going to have to take an arm to make it equal.”
Anchor stood above Ho Sung Lee’s head and lifted his sword.
At that moment...
Kaboom!
The sound of thunder rang.
As soon as Anchor looked around.
Three of his subordinates were slashed and laying on the ground.
“...?!”
Anchor looked around him in shock.
No matter how hard he looked, he didn’t know who it was.
“W-who are you!? Tell me!”
Anchor shouted with a shocked voice.
His subordinates were fairly skilled.
So it was shocking that someone killed them in an instant.
Anchor gulped.
On one hand, he instinctively knew who killed his subordinates.
The person he had an invitation for.
The player who made a challenge!
It was him.
The player who wasn’t a part of a guild.
He had no idea that that player was this powerful.
Anchor dripped in cold sweat and looked down at Ho Sung Lee.
Ho Sung Lee was bleeding from his mouth, but even in that state, he was smirking at him.
Anchor jolted his eyes open at Ho Sung Lee and clenched down on his teeth.
Anchor grabbed Ho Sung Lee as a hostage, and in order to drag him up, he reached out his left hand to grab him by the throat.
At that moment...
Slash!
The left hand that reached out got sliced off.
The sliced hand flipped in the air and then plopped on the ground.
“...!”
Anchor trembled at the sight of his missing hand.
He held back the pain and looked around him, but he couldn’t see anyone.
Anchor’s body flushed with anger, and he crazily swung his sword in the air.
“Agh! Where are you? Tell me! Show yourself! Why are you hiding?”
Anchor screamed.
And that was when he heard footsteps.
Anchor huffed roughly in anxiousness of what was going to pop out.
He saw a man.
He was wearing casual clothing while holding a sword in his hand.
He was the player that the lowest ranker, Oden, was looking for.
“... It’s you. The player who challenged my owner.”
Min Sung grinned at Anchor.
“Yup. Does that mean you’re that lowest rankers’ pawn?”
Anchor stared at Min Sung with a stiff face.
Min Sung walked toward him with a slight smile.
“I thought it’d be hard to find you, but it was easier than I thought.”
Anchor looked at his bloody wrist and then looked back at Min Sung.
He gulped.
Although he lost a hand, that didn’t mean he couldn’t fight.
But the problem was... he didn’t think he could defeat this man, and that was his duty.
“I came to deliver a message from my master.”
Anchor continued, “Since you challenged him, he is kind enough to accept it.”
Anchor put his sword into the ground. He opened his item window and then took out a card for Min Sung.
The card flew over like a bullet, and Min Sung caught it effortlessly.
Min Sung checked the card that Anchor referred to as an invitation.
And inside the card was a code that he could use on the interface system map to arrive at his destination.
It was kind of like a navigation address.
Min Sung put the card in his pocket and glared at Anchor while asking, “Can I meet the lowest ranker if I go here?”
“Stop calling him the lowest ranker. Many players attempted to defeat him, but they all died, and you won’t be any different.”
Anchor glared at Min Sung with bloodshot eyes.
Min Sung responded with a smile, “Let me check for myself to see how loyal you really are.”
Min Sung walked toward Anchor.
Anchor took out his sword from the ground with a stiffened face.
The invitation had been delivered.
But he was thinking of killing him, and Anchor had a feeling that he wouldn’t be able to avoid his fate.
If he was going to die, he wanted to die while serving his master.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Anchor shouted while running toward Min Sung.
“...?!”
Anchor then stared at Min Sung with dilated pupils.
Min Sung threw his sword into his item window.
He was unequipped with absolutely no weapon or shield.
Anchor immediately stopped in his tracks.
Him suddenly stopping led to dirt flying.
“What are you doing? Why did you put your weapon away?” Anchor asked.
Min Sung smiled bitterly.
“I told you. I’m here to check if you’re really that loyal.”
Anchor trembled with his sword in his hand.
He felt angered by Min Sung’s insult.
“You will never be able to defeat my master. Just like all the other players, you’ll also die...”
Pow!
Anchor was unable to finish.
Before he could react, the magic power from the palm of Min Sung’s hand stabbed into Anchor’s gut.
Anchor’s body flew into a nearby house.
And then...
Crash!
Anchor’s body crashed through the walls, and the house tumbled down as a result.
“He probably didn’t die yet.”
Min Sung tilted his head and walked toward where Anchor’s body flew.
