40.
“Go inside the west gate now. Please help Let’s do this too.”
“What, what?”
“What is it?”
After listening to my words, Drink some water and Let’s do this asked in a panicked voice, but I had to finish my work with Melody Chord in order to wheedle a proper answer.
[Whisper] I’m Sleepy: how many?
[Whisper] I’m Sleepy: How many ELMe are there?
[Whisper] Melody Chord: As far as I know, there are three
[Whisper] Melody Chord: Each of them will be hiding in a different place
[Whisper] Melody Chord: I wish I had started avoiding everyone’s eyes long ago
[Whisper] Melody Chord: Less than 30 secs left
If there were three of us, it would be better for me to move at least with Yoo Chae and the Berserker, Let’s do this. I hurriedly turned on the clock program that displayed the number of seconds and left it floating in the corner of the screen and opened my mouth.
“Now three ELMe are hiding and casting their ultimate skills.”
“ELMe? ELMe’s ultimate skill?”
“Wait… where? in the west gate?”
Elemental Mage’s ultimate skill was Meteor.
If Meteor, used by three Mages belonging to the Fever Guild, on the west gate where 40 people gathered, the gauge difference would be enormous, and in the worst case, the defense would be pierced and the flag in the center might be given up.
“That was what they were aiming for from the beginning.”
The west gate was narrow compared to other places both inside and outside, and there were many blind spots where you could hide because the buildings were packed tightly together.
When close to 80 players were fighting, they must have sneaked into the west gate and hid in the alley. The process must have taken about 10 minutes but considering that it took about 2 minutes to cast Meteor, there was not much time left as the Melody Chord said.
“I’ll look for them right away.”
“Me and Harn will look for them together. As for the other kids...……..”
“I don’t have time to explain everything. Kim Yoo-chae, are you in?”
“Yes. I’m looking too.”
Fortunately, without having to speak for a long time, everyone understood the situation at once and started to move quickly. I’ll have to go back quickly and search the alleys. But before that.
[Whisper] I’m Sleepy: nim
[Whisper] I’m Sleepy: send me a friend request
There was still a lot to be said about Melody Chord. Why the hell did you want to hand over a good weapon in the first place, and why did you give us such good information? I thought that hearing the reason would make me feel at ease.
[Whisper] Melody Chord: I will see to it
[Whisper] Melody Chord: Just take the Staff
[Whisper] I’m Sleepy: yeah drop it
I mercilessly fired an attack skill at Melody Chord. Anyway, the opponent didn’t have much remaining HP and was easily attacked as I expected. Just before collapsing, Melody Chord, who intentionally dropped the staff at the right time, immediately disappeared into the respawn zone.
Quickly picking up and replacing my staff, I returned to the front gate, using my movement skill sparingly.
“Hyung, it’s better to search in different areas than to search blindly. Divide the right area up and down, and the left area is small, so let’s leave it alone.”
“Since I’m going to the right with Gilma-nim, would you like to look to the left, Sleepy-nim?”
“Okay.”
I went to the right, then swerved and ran in the opposite direction. Certainly, there are fewer buildings on the left than on the right, but it is impossible to know how much time is left, so it is not possible to look at all of them. It was hard.
I hurriedly racked my brain and came up with the most efficient way to check the alley. As much as I couldn’t afford it, I had to gamble to some extent.
‘If I were ELMe who had to use the ultimate skill in secret……’
Where to settle down? With that in mind, there were a total of four possible ranges.
Two dead ends east of the deepest location. and the northern and southern edge parts. On a clock, they are at 12 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 4 o’clock, and 6 o’clock.
‘It’s probably better if I look through it all the way from 12 o’clock.’
Arriving in the north as quickly as possible, I made sure no one was there and moved east. In the midst of the selection, it was not possible to summon a pet, so the speed was slow because we had to move ourselves.

“Hyung, I killed the bottom right. There are a team of two people, so be careful.”
“Already?”
Yoo Chae was the first to go to find it, but even so, the speed was much faster than expected.
“Yes. No matter how the ELMe are placed, there’s an intersection, so I looked around it.”
“Ah, that’s for sure.”
The place where the most people are fighting is right in front of the west gate. It’s far from the 6 o’clock position... If so, it is most likely 2 o’clock or 4 o’clock.
<System> Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points!
“The other one was caught too!”
“Sleepy-nim, we don’t have much time.”
Shortly thereafter, Drink some water and Let’s do this came to the briefing. Hearing that, I quickly ran to 2 o’clock.
“The enchantment is almost complete. I think there is less than a minute left.”
If each of the scattered mages started casting their ultimate at the same time... As Let’s do this said, I had to kill two opponents in less than a minute.
“I’ll go and support you right away.”
Yoo Chae, who grasped the situation, continued, but it was clear that if I didn’t find and solve it before he arrived on the other side, I wouldn’t be able to cut off the ultimate. I clicked my tongue and arrived at the alley at the 2 o’clock position I had thought of beforehand.
‘Found them...!’
At a glance, I could see the elemental mage and the spearman casting their ultimate skills. The opponent also found me and raised a golden shining spear.
Since two teams were defeated by us, they should already know that their plans were exposed.
Confirming that 70% of the magic circle under the mage was completed, I evaded the spearman’s dash with ice. The numbers displayed on the clock program displayed on the screen skipped over without stopping. The remaining time is approximately 30 seconds.
‘It’s impossible to kill and stop the casting.’
It would have been enough if the opponent was a supporter like a healer, but he was a spearman, the most versatile job. I hurriedly rolled my head and compared my skills with the spearman’s skills and calculated how to deal with them effectively.
The evasion skill used as a mover currently had 5 seconds of cooldown left. Consequently, the spearman still had an evasion skill and just used one of the two dashes.
‘Normal rush has a cooldown of about 3 seconds, so if you assume that the spearman is like that too...’
After sorting out what to do, I kept my distance to avoid being hit by the spearman’s attack.
It’s true that I didn’t have time, but I was the only one who would lose if I pushed on recklessly. Let’s try to stay calm.
“Hyung! where are you?”
I answered Yoo Chae, narrowly avoiding the spearman’s wide swing of the spear.
“At 2 o’clock.”
I induced the spearman to use his skills as much as possible while properly avoiding or getting hit by the attack without a chance to rest. PVP games were mostly psychological warfare.
The other two teams were all dead due to us right now, so the opponent was mentally concentrated. Also, if anyone other than me came to support, defeat would be certain, so I want to decide before that.
With the thought of an attack being of urgent use, mistakes will be frequent, and the skills that come to mind are used randomly without thinking. If you kept a certain distance, you could easily avoid this kind of attack.
‘Please……!’
I bit my lip and begged inwardly. Come on, come on.
As if the spearman, anxious to see me not backing down even though my stamina was declining, paused for a moment and swung the spear wide 360 degrees. Then, a red light shone at the tip of the blade.
It was the spearman’s ultimate skill. It was a skill that had the effect of deflecting both close skills and normal hits as well as increasing damage and attack speed. As if to finish it all at once, the spearman used his dash again with his ultimate active.
And I, who had been waiting for this moment, evaded it with the evasion skill I had been saving up until now, and narrowed the distance with the Elemental mage standing behind the spearman. The position of the spearman and I changed in an instant.
My heart was beating hard, and my body was hot with excitement. It was seen that the magic circle drawn on the floor where Mage was standing was about to be completed. Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately moved my fingers.
I couldn’t move while casting my ultimate skill anyway, so I boldly skipped the binding skill and instead added the W skill with the most damage. W-Q-R-4-1. Then, rest for 1 second, then W-Q-R once the cooldown is over.
I can do this. This is possible. Mage’s stamina was being cut off at a tremendous speed, and his magic gauge was quickly completed.
Seconds exceeded in the clock program. 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds.
And 1 second.

Mage collapsed on the floor with her staff holding up to summon Meteor when the enchantment was completed. Kill log then floated in the center.
“Ha……”
I blocked it. After, I killed the opponent mage with 1 second left.
Realizing that, a sigh of relief rose from the depths.
[All] aoko: Ah ㅅf1ck
[All] RareHunter: ;;
As the opponent’s mage, who failed to summon Meteor, hit the chat, the spearman immediately rushed at me.
‘This will kill me.’
Unlike me, who had little stamina left, the spearman was fine. In addition, the location was not good, so there was no way to avoid the attack now that there was no evasion skill.
I must die this time and return to the respawn zone. Killing the target mage and blocking the Fever Guild’s plan, there was no major problem now. Still, it was a pity to die like this, so it was the moment I tried to use the skill.
Charreuk! A golden chain flew from behind the spearman, tying him up and pulling him to the other side. And then, the spearman was killed with two skills.
“Hyung.”
As I didn’t want to die so easily, I at least tried to resist before dying, but Yoo Chae appeared in front of me.

MM: God, this battle was intense! I hope EE can recruit Melody Chord in their guild instead of staying in Fever, or anywhere, just not in Fever. It must have been really uncomfortable for her to be harassed just because she’s a girl.
GX: Poor Melody Chord, she didn’t deserve that; at least she’s leaving now. Speaking of leaving, I wonder if Sleepy decides to leave the guild. He did say he would only join to get his staff back.
