Chapter 150: This Is My Answer (1) |
“How did you know my face?”
Odion was curious.
How could they know his face when they hadn’t even met, let alone had any information about each other?
‘I made sure that not even Daren, let alone anyone else, could take a picture of me.’
He was very curious and patient, but the answer he got was ridiculously simple.
“Just because.”
“What?”
“I just can.”
“You’re trying to provoke me, but it’s useless. I’m not so inexperienced that……”
“Cut the crap and say what you want to say. I’ll give you the chance to speak.”
Though it was insolent, he still held back.
He was the leader of KF.
He wasn’t someone to be easily fooled by the opponent’s tricks.
“Your audacity is impressive. To be so bold in front of so many people.”
“Is that all you have to say?”
“The truth is, I responded to your call because I have a proposal for you.”
“Let’s hear it.”
Odion spoke straightforwardly, not caring about the players around him.
“Join me. Devote yourself to KF. Then you won’t need to worry about anything in life.”
“……”
Unlike Ryu Min, who had no reaction, Victor, who was hiding in a building listening to the conversation, had to cover his mouth in shock.
‘Did I just hear that, right? He’s asking him to join KF?’
In other words, Odion was making a recruitment offer to the Black Scythe.
“How about it? Dedicate yourself to me and we will rule the world.”
“A tiger can’t follow a cat, can it?”
“A tiger, huh… Do you really think you’re of that caliber?”
“Well, maybe not. But one thing’s for sure. The so-called leader of KF is nothing but a mouse, even less than a cat, hiding behind others and avoiding the front lines. Anyone would think that.”
“Ha. I have to give you credit for your way with words.”
Unable to hold back any longer, Odion frowned.
“Do you really have no intention of joining me?”
“How many times do I have to say it? Can’t you understand words? Shall I show you through actions?”
Ryu Min’s scythe flashed for a moment and then decapitated Daren.
Thud-
Daren was sent on his way to the afterlife in an instant.
“This is my answer. You rat.”
“So you had no intention of using him as a hostage from the beginning.”
As if there was no more value in talking, Odion turned his body around and said,
“Let’s see if your skills are as good as your mouth.”
As he entered the crowd, the players surrounded him as if to protect him.
“Kill him. Leave not a single piece of his flesh behind.”
As soon as the command was given, hundreds of players rushed towards Ryu Min.
Seeing the members armed with weapons, Ryu Min smiled from behind his mask.
‘As expected, he only brought players?’
If they were ordinary members, he would have killed them without hesitation, but knowing they were players, he decided to go easy on them.
‘After all, they were holding items. It’d be a waste to kill them.’
The players were lucky.
Ryu Min had decided to go easy on them.

Hiding in a building and watching the situation unfold, Victor clenched and unclenched his hands.
His palms were sweaty.
‘Is it finally starting? I’m getting nervous.’
He trusted the skills of the Black Scythe, but anything could happen.
Variables could arise.
‘Wait, something’s odd.’
One thing was strange.
Among the gathered members, none were carrying guns.
All were dressed in archaic clothing and used melee weapons.
Realizing this belatedly, Victor’s eyes widened.
‘Could it be that they’re all players?’
Though not certain, the number seemed to be around 500.
‘So many players have devoted themselves to KF?’
His skin wriggled at the thought.
He could barely handle one or two, but 500?
‘Will Black Scythe be alright against this many players?’
He could hear the sound of weapons clashing, but due to the angle, he couldn’t see if the fight was going well.
Victor turned his head to the woman who seemed to be an ally of the Black Scythe.
“What’s… What’s your name?”
Yamti, understanding the simple English, answered.
“Me? I’m Yamti. My name is Yamti.”
“Yamti? Okay. Yamti. Do you think the Black Scythe can win? What do you think?”
“What are you saying? Haah…”
When the conversation quickly stalled, Yamti sighed.
“Listen well, Alchemist sir. You might not understand, but I’ll try my best. You seem anxious but trust Black Scythe. There’s nothing we can do to help. All we can do is wait here quietly for the KF leader.”
“What? KF? You think KF might win?”
Hearing the word ‘KF,’ Victor pressed Yamti for more information, and she babbled on.
“The Black Scythe said to wait, and he’ll deliver the KF leader to us. So don’t worry. If we capture the KF leader, there’ll be no problem.”
Despite her reassuring words, Victor’s expression seemed darker than before.

Chang-Chang-Chang-!
Kang-Kang-Kang!
All sorts of skills were poured towards one target.
No matter how high his level is, it was thought impossible to dodge this many skills coming from all directions.
That was until they saw it with their own eyes.
