41.
“Are you alright?”
“Uh?”
While staring blankly at the screen, I belatedly came to my senses at Yoo Chae’s words.
“Uh, yeah. I’m alright. The last remaining Meiji was killed. “
“Oh, Nice!”
“Crazy, time was almost up.”
“It was dangerous, good, good.”
After listening to my briefing, Drink some water, Haerun, and Let’s do it, had something to say about it. Hearing that, I turned my attention to the opposing mage, who had not yet gone to the respawn zone and remained in the corpse state.
‘I waited to confirm that these bastards went there after seeing them die.’
If you die during the preliminary round, a system window will pop up asking if you want to move to the respawn zone. The reason why he didn’t press it and waited in a dead state was obvious.
Well, the reasons are really varied. I laughed and tilted my head when I saw Meiji’s nickname.
‘aoko?’
Something felt familiar. I looked back on my previous memories for a while, and soon realized that this guy was one of the minor mages, who I killed on the day the staff was taken away.
At that time, the username was definitely ‘aoko1’. Did they just add the number 1 to their sub-character username and called it a day?
[All] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ nim
[All] I’m sleepy: Aren’t you that stupid mage who ran after me last time?
[All] aoko: ?
[All] I’m sleepy: If you’re going to go around with that kind of personality, then at least sincerely make a sub-account. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[All] I’m so sleepy: If you’re going to be mean, it would be such a spectacle if you get humiliated like this~
[All] I’m sleepy: How do you feel when you search for the same person twice?
[All] aoko: ㅋㅋ I fuckin love it, you sick bastard
[All] I’m sleepy: So what do you think I should do to an asshole?
The Mage, who saw my chat, was silent for a moment, then disappeared. He pressed the revive button and went to the respawn zone. No fun.
After confirming that Fever’s mage and spearman were all gone, I sent a whisper to Yoo Chae.
[Whisper] I’m sleepy: how did you come so fast?
I hadn’t imagined that I would be helped by Yoo Chae, so it was a little awkward to ask in discord voice with other people. Yoo Chae, who seemed to understand my thoughts, replied in a whisper without properly answering the question.
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: How come I won’t know where Hyung is?
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: Of course I know everything ㅋ
[Whisper] I’m sleepy: ?;;
This kid so easily slips away like this again.
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung, by the way
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: Remember that staff is what I gave you, right?
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: Have you gotten it back?
“Ah.”
I shifted my gaze to the staff that my character was holding. Come to think of it, I have to tell him about this too.
“I got that staff back.”
“Huh? Really? I thought you hadn’t gotten it yet because you were busy blocking the Meiji Palace.”
“I had a good conversation with the newbie on the Fever side who had the staff… It’s a bit complicated. I’ll explain later.”
After I finished talking, I chatted with Yoo Chae separately.
[Whisper] I’m sleepy: So, that’s what happened
[Whisper] I’m sleepy: it’s true that I brought it back
[Whisper] I’m sleepy: this is what you gave me after all
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
[Whisper] Yoo Chae: Thank god ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
What, why do you look so happy? I ignored Yoo Chae’s smile and looked at the contest gauge.
The current gauge was 70% filled by our guild and 63% by Fever. If I had failed and the elemental mage’s ultimate skill, Meteor, had landed at the west gate where 40 people were gathered, the 63% would have been filled to over 90% in an instant.
‘Hmm? wait for a sec.’
Watching the rate at which the gauge filled up, I came up with an amazing idea. If I do this well, I can see a very amusing scene. Even if we fail, there will be no loss on our part.
After quickly examining the various possibilities, I opened my mouth with a smile.
“Water-Noona.”
“Uh?”
“I have a good idea, would you like to hear it?”
“Good idea? What is it?”
“I’ll tell the guild members to slow down the gauge a bit.”
I leaned back in my chair and continued my explanation.
“Let’s tell Let’s go all in-nim at the west gate.”

[Guild] aoko: no fuck ㅈㄴthat’s ridiculous
[Guild] aoko: You can’t just keep doing thisㅋㅋ
[Guild] aoko: Can’t you put me together with a decent guy?
[Guild] Rare Hunter: ㅋ;;
[Guild] Rare Hunter: What the hell are you talking about?
[Guild] aoko: ?
[Guild] aoko: You’re saying your skills are fucking good?
[Guild] Rare Hunter: I clearly told you to settle down quickly and go to the palace
[Guild] Rare Hunter: It’s your problem
[Guild] Significant: Ah, stop squealing
[Guild] Significant: Because you’re both the same
Melody Chord, who had been watching the guild chat pathetically, turned his attention to the west gate where the battle was in full swing.
Originally, according to the Fever Guild’s plan, three elemental mages hid inside the West Gate would have used Meteor, the ultimate skill, in front of me and ruined it, but contrary to expectations, the preliminary round was still in progress thanks to the quick response from Early Evening.
‘I can’t believe they managed to stop that.’
Even when she leaked this plan to the guild members in the Early Evening, she didn’t expect the other party to succeed at all. In fact, the result of the overall development was also a problem that had nothing to do with her either way.
After getting rid of the most annoying staff and getting a good excuse, the intended purpose was achieved.
[Guild] aoko: That bastard with ㅅ fucking staff, took it back as well
[Guild] aoko: There are so many assholes
[Guild] aoko: So that’s why I said I should have it
[Guild] Ganbok: ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Ganbok: it’s because u give newbies something like that
[Guild] Ganbok: they would just lose it right awayㅎ;
[Guild] Significant: Dropped a staff
[Guild] Significant: It’s a bit too much
[Guild] aoko: No, if you don’t have the confidence to protect it
[Guild] aoko: leave it or fight for reals
‘You bastards...……..?
Seeing them say things like that after they were the one who forcibly gave the staff to her made her angry. However, in this situation, it would be her own loss if she reacted to it according to her personality.
Gathering among themselves, most of the guild members present were insane. While swearing inwardly, Melody Chord started a chat that did not contain the slightest hint of sincerity.
[Guild] Melody Chord: Sorryㅠ
[Guild] Melody Chord: I didn’t know the staff would drop off so soon
[Guild] Melody Chord: ㅈㅅㅈㅅ
[Guild] aoko: Aye~ ㅋㅋ
[Guild] aoko: What do you know?
[Guild] Melody Chord: ㅎㅎ..
[Guild] Significant: I want to see Sleepy
[Guild] Significant: Sorry~
[Guild] Significant: be right back
[Guild] Significant: I’ll get the staff back
[Guild] Significant: ㄱㄷㄱㄷ
‘Damn it.’
The skills of Significant were much better than the other guild members.
Melody Chord, who prides herself on having an eye for games to some extent, assured that Significant would easily defeat his opponent even if the other party woke up from the dead.
After the contest is over, she should leave this garbage guild immediately. The reason she handed over her staff to someone else in the first place was to leave the guild. Because if she goes out with her staff, she’s going to be a eyesore to Fever or spread some nasty rumors.
[I’m sleepy: nim]
At that time, the Early Evening guild member, whom she had added as a friend earlier, sent her a message.
[Melody Chord: ?]
[I’m sleepy: don’t stay near the door from now on]
[I’m sleepy: fall back as far as possible]
[Melody Chord: Why?]
[I’m sleepy: I told you]
[I’m sleepy: fall out]
[I’m sleepy: fall back even if you have to make an excuse saying that you don’t have a weapon.]
[Melody code: ??]
That was the end of the chat sent by the enemy team user saying ‘I’m Sleepy’.
Anyway, she didn’t have to move further back because she didn’t leave the area of the respawn zone, but suddenly she wondered why he said that.
[Guild] Little Jumper: Is it easy to get fruit flies?
[Guild] Little Jumper: Almost caught up with the gauge now
[Guild] aoko: ㅇㅇ Those bastards are lame ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Jechang Life: Gauge Speed ㅈㄴ
[Guild] Jechang Life: Is the bottom line exposed?
[Guild] dodory: Do you think you improved your skills?
[Guild] Ganbok: Do you want to push me like this in now?
[Guild] Significant: 00
[Guild] Significant: ㄱㄱ Follow me
[Guild] aoko: ah if only I knew it would be this easy
[Guild] aoko: I would have just went to the north gate
[Guild] Ganbok: for reals ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Ganbok: the gauge would have been full by now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] aoko: Aw Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Certainly, the speed at which the gauge fills up in the early evening has become noticeably slower than before. Just 30 minutes ago, Early Evening was 77% and fever was 65%, but now it is 81% and 76%. The difference was narrowed from 12 to 5.
The members of the Fever Guild, who had been hanging around near the respawn zone, flocked to the west gate in the chatter of Gilma. Melody Chord, noticing the feeling of something sluggish, did not move as he had previously told her to do.
Ku-Gu-Gu-Gung!
As most of the members of the Fever Guild gathered around the west gate, leading the way, dark clouds gathered in the sky and the ground began to shake greatly.
‘This crazy.’
Only then did Melody Chord understand the meaning of why he told her to stay far away from the door, and was shocked.
Kurrung!
A huge meteorite engulfed in blazing fire rapidly descended through the dark clouds that flashed thunder.
Those assholes carried out exactly what Fever had planned. The members of the Fever Guild, who noticed the Elemental Mage ultimate one beat later after Melody Chord, ran away in a panic, but it was already too late.
Kwaaang!
The meteorite fell right in front of the west gate. The whole earth shook violently, and the flames spread out.
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
<System> Early Evening guild has earned 10 points!
The kill logs went up like crazy, and the gauge number of Early Evening reached 99% in an instant.
