The Veteran Swordmaster’s Stream (Novel) - Chapter 100
Chapter 100
The Battleground of the 20th day, which could be the last.
Seo-jun finished three games and was spectating a game.
[Try parrying once! Just try to parry!]
-lololololol why is he so desperate?
-It’s obvious the streamer doesn’t know how to spectate lolol
-So funny
-Where did he learn that from?
The target he was currently watching was World’s No. 1 Swordsman.
Although it was obvious that the game results of this user, who was not even a ranker, would have no impact.
“He is my disciple.”
Seo-jun specifically turned on World’s No. 1 Swordsman’s game.
The reason was a master’s heart.
[Do you guys know? Do you know the feeling of not being able to ignore someone because they’re your school senior!]
-lolololol
-Streamer. It doesn’t seem like he considers you his master?
-But his skills have really improved. Wasn’t he a beginner? It’s clean.
“Right? I told you I’m good at teaching.”
He had only taught him occasionally as a warm-up before streaming, but look at how he was beating most average users.
Just a moment ago, he even parried and countered.
These were all movements he had planted in him.
-What on earth did you do at the gym?
-He completely remodeled him dd
-Mad scientist
-Rather than just a scientist lolol he is a physicist
-Physicist acknowledged lolololol he doesn’t study physics, he exerts physical force lol
[Do you know the feeling of wanting to run away, but starting to like working out more and more!]
That was a good thing. It was perfectly normal.
Originally, if you kept making them train, eventually they would all smile and enjoy it.
Was it because they had lost their minds?
‘No.’
They had found the fun.
Seo-jun smiled with satisfaction.
[I won! Please let me be liberated today!]
It seemed the reason the swordsman wanted to win was a bit different from others.
But he seemed to be mistaken.
He was not going to let him go, though.
“It really seems he learned well. Then.”
It was now time to slowly start the game.
Because there was really not much time left.
About twenty minutes until the Battleground closed?
-Are you finally doing it?
-I’ve been waiting to watch this lol
-Whoa, look at the viewer count
There was no special reason why he was playing the fourth game only now.
-To milk the viewers lolol
-Look at him trying to squeeze everything out
-The main character always appears at the end
-Real lol
It was not for such a materialistic reason.
It was just.
“I only waited for a smooth stream sniping.”
In any case, he had notified the Unorthodox Faction before starting that the last game would be played after most of the battles were over.
# 1 / Heavenly Demon 14 / 115,254
That was Seo-jun’s contribution score on the 10th day.
Then what about now?
Seo-jun displayed the contribution ranking on the stream screen.
# 1 / Heavenly Demon 14 / 2,368,741
# 2 / Fresh Seaweed State / 264,712
# 3 / Dignity of the Unorthodox Faction / 257,523
# 4 / This is Not the Martial World / 221,876
-2.36 million lolololol
-Crazy difference
-It’s a source of laughter every time I see it lolol
-Does that even make sense lolol but it does
-It’s so great that the Orthodox guys disappeared from the ranking
What on earth had happened in For Chivalry?
This provocative ranking was very easy for other game players to look at and suspect that there was some bug or that the game was ruined.
A tenfold difference between first and second place?
Unless some hack had breached the game, it was a scenario that was hard to see under normal circumstances.
To the extent that one would suspect manipulation just by looking at it.
Yet the person in question spoke calmly and queued for a match.
“It’s the last game on the last day.”
-It’s not the last day
-Cut the nonsense
-We will win at least today
-lolol the Unorthodox guys are beginning to deny!
-We’ve all been through it, so we know. Come with an easy mind.
Ever since the Orthodox players were eliminated, they had persistently attacked the Unorthodox Faction and cheered for the Demonic Sect.
Funnily enough, that was because only then would the balance be maintained. The Demonic Sect’s victory was not the issue.
The real issue was the Unorthodox Faction becoming a faction that had never had its headquarters occupied even once.
“So, I wanted to try fighting against second, third, and fourth place once. Since it’s the last day.”
Seo-jun emphasized it once more and displayed the map of the Battleground.
-I said it’s not the last day lololol
-*Huff huff*
-See you tomorrow TT
And he clicked on Guangdong, the region where the Unorthodox Faction’s headquarters was located (this was also a name the players called as they pleased).
It was neat.
[Heavenly Demon 14]
[Bandit King]
The remaining members of the Demonic Sect’s side,
[Fresh Seaweed State]
[Dignity of the Unorthodox Faction]
[This is Not the Martial World]
and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place in the contribution ranking.
He had waited for this.
The stream sniping was not done by him; the enemies did it.
Seo-jun had given them a chance to try and block him somehow.
They must have prepared thoroughly.
And even though they had one day to spare, if they lost this time, their momentum would surely be broken, putting them at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, the reason he did this was,
“Because it is truly the end.”
It was romance.
-Kya!
-Why are you trying to leave TT
-Let’s stay in the Demonic Sect forever
-No, it’s not the end though?
-Please don’t come starting from the next Battleground
-But if a match isn’t found here, will it be a disaster?
Fortunately, the match was found with five minutes remaining.
***
How many points were at stake in this single match?
It might have been minuscule compared to the whole.
However, as it was a Battleground where those minuscule points had always played a decisive role,
and since a very heavy weight hung on Seo-jun, many people believed that the result of this last game would soon be the result of the Battleground.
Even if Seo-jun lost this game, the Unorthodox Faction could lose.
Even if Seo-jun won this game, the Unorthodox Faction could win too.
That was why Movie Soft did not disclose the detailed numbers and left them to the realm of imagination.
Because that was romance.
Who would want to hear that the game they played was actually unnecessary?
Perhaps it was, “Because I played the game, because I won the game,”
to plant the feeling that the faction might have won.
“It’s not normal.”
Seo-jun’s last game.
No, this game, which could perhaps become the last remaining game of the 20th day, was not ordinary.
[Green (Green): 0] vs [Red (Red): 0]
The Unorthodox Faction was represented as green on the Battleground.
Because it was the color that symbolized the Tang Clan and the Green Forest.
And currently, the fortress’s health was completely depleted.
Seo-jun’s level was also heading toward the maximum level.
Lastly.
Until now, a battle had not been fought even once.
“They must be planning to stake everything on a single fight.”
While Seo-jun was in the center, the enemies captured both bases and gathered objectives.
The enemy must have judged that it would be difficult to defeat Seo-jun twice.
So they had intentionally avoided encountering him until the fortress was destroyed.
“Let’s just be careful of surprise attacks.”
And Seo-jun complied with this despite the disadvantage.
The final fight, which would be decided by a single battle.
It was quite decent.
***
‘Was this what they were aiming for?’
The enemy thoroughly pressured him from the start.
The Assassination Guild, pushing forward with extreme speed.
The Unorthodox Faction, blocking his path all at once with heavy attacks.
The Tang Clan, supporting from the rear with hidden weapons.
They engaged in a thorough war of attrition.
They tried to gain the upper hand in resources.
Because Seo-jun had two team members, while the other side had three.
Even exchanging at a one-to-one ratio would be a profit.
Moreover, the Green Forest was there too.
They really seemed to have prepared thoroughly.
From the initial pathing to being pushed back like this.
“Since I told you to snipe me at seven today, you must have thought hard for two hours.”
“Even if you think it is cheap, we had no choice. We have to deal with you at least like this.”
Spitting out slightly cringy words, the greatsword restricted Seo-jun’s movement again.
From the front, the Assassination Guild player, who pressured him with rapid speed but never came in deep, herded Seo-jun into the last remaining direction.
At the same time, a flying dagger shot toward him.
It was a dagger thrown by the Tang Clan player whom Lee Dong-soo was marking.
‘They are herding me thoroughly, stably, and calmly.’
The enemies’ top priority was not to suffer any losses.
Chats calling it cheap popped up.
However, since it was also Seo-jun who had let them prepare this composition to snipe, and it was also Seo-jun who had allowed the game to end in a single battle, it was not something to complain about.
Above all,
Seo-jun was also an equally cheap guy.
‘It won’t work.’
By throwing the dagger at Seo-jun, the Tang Clan ranker showed a very tiny opening to Lee Dong-soo.
And to cover that gap, the bandit who was fighting nearby went toward Lee Dong-soo.
It was possible because they were fighting only a few steps away.
Also, since Lee Dong-soo showed a larger opening to exploit the enemy’s tiny gap, Seo-jun had to help him.
If so, an opportunity would surely be created for the Assassination Guild player to do something while he went to help the Bandit King.
In other words,
even the gap the Tang Clan had shown at first was intended.
However,
Seo-jun was definitely cheap.
‘Ah, this is so comfortable.’
There was a reason he had specifically brought the Bandit King—no, Lee Dong-soo.
Although he might look like a pushover because he was defeated every day, Lee Dong-soo was the pinnacle of all gamers.
To call him simply a top ranker in For Chivalry was insufficient.
He was the pinnacle of gamers.
If they had sniped him, Seo-jun had set a trap.
Because that was fun and comfortable.
The enemies did not know that the Bandit King was a pro player’s alt character.
Therefore,
This is Not the Martial World, who had wondered why Seo-jun was not coming to help Lee Dong-soo, could not help but be shocked when he suddenly saw a Black Hand thrust at his neck.
Lee Dong-soo,
he too had noticed everything about the enemies from the start.
“Ugh.”
His health drained rapidly.
At the same time, Seo-jun began to overwhelm the remaining Assassination Guild player.
The Tang Clan ranker threw a dagger at Seo-jun, but Lee Dong-soo struck with a Black Palm at rapid reaction speed, deflecting the dagger in mid-air.
And Lee Dong-soo dodged the greatsword approaching from behind again without even looking.
A pro player was not a pro player for nothing.
They were beings who could handle a two-on-one match if they focused.
‘Just what kind of person was that hyung?’
However, Lee Dong-soo felt it was slightly tight while handling the two-on-one.
And this naturally led to disbelief toward Seo-jun, who was lightly handling a three-on-one.
Seo-jun slashed the chest of the Unnamed player, turned back, and said,
“Bandit King. If you also devote yourself for about eighty years, you might be able to coordinate with me a little.”
***
They won the game.
Seo-jun’s health was still over half, and Lee Dong-soo’s was at about a third.
It was not a hard-fought victory.
-Kya
-Demonic Sect victory confirmed!
-No, it’s not though?
-Yes, it is though?
-See you tomorrow lol
The time was 10:20.
The Battleground closed, and the last game ended.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes. It was fun.”
“Me too.”
What would happen?
The viewers’ tension seemed completely relaxed.
Since they were teasing each other trivially.
How would the results come out tomorrow?
Did they win?
Wondering, Seo-jun left the game.
And.
-??????
-Huh?
-What is this?
-Crazy
When he came out of the game and the Battleground interface automatically popped up, Seo-jun opened his eyes wide.
A sentence was floating in the center of the interface.
Was it because there was only one faction left?
[Winning Faction: Demonic Sect]
Why was this popping up already?
-Is it a bug?
-Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect? Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect? Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect? Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect? Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect? Anyway, the winner is the Demonic Sect?
-Is this real? Is this real? Is this real?
