That guy is This guy Chapter 21

21.

[All] I’m Sleepy: ?

[All] I’m Sleepy: What are you doing? ㅋㅋ

I pretended to be flustered, chatted, and stealthily summoned up the inventory window. I then drank the magic attack power increase potion, the cast speed increase potion, the stamina recovery speed increase potion, and the mana increase potion, which I had saved up so far.

When I was in raids, I didn’t have a chance to consume it because Cotton Candy Fox always gave me a buff, so I’m using it like this.

[All] Ganbok: Have merci on me, dear palㅋ

[All] I’m Sleepy: omg

It was 2:1, but unlike me, there were two Max level people, who didn’t change their jobs yet like me, so it was enough.

Looking at the weapon, it looks like a person has regrettably the same Mage job as me. This seems like a situation where I have to deal with both long-distance and short-range at the same time.

I quickly recalled the list of skills of the mage and the spearman in my head. Usually, you have 6 to 7 attack skills before you change your jobs.

All I have to do is make it impossible to use the Ice Spear, the 5-second bondage skill that Mage has. Then, there will be a limit to the skills I can use, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

If the enemy team has both long-distance and short-ranged together, you must kill the long-distance one first. This was one of the basics that can be used in any game.

I turned on the shield that reduces the stiffness time and short-range damage, thinking that the magic skill would not fit. Immediately, the spearman’s skill flew in.

Chiing, I used the evasion skill to match the sharp sound. That skill, which wields the spear and shoots it from afar, was one of the non-target skills that should never hit the opponent because once it does, it left a mark that the spearman could flash towards my character the moment it hit.

As expected, the Mage was charging the Ice Spear behind the spearman. This will not be easy, really.

As soon as I finished the evasion skill, I immediately started charging the chain lightning. This is a basic skill that stuns the opponent for 1 second and inflicts damage at the same time.

It was a skill that I didn’t use much when hunting because it didn’t do much damage to the ambiguous CC of 1 second stun. But now, I ate various buff potions, and my opponent is a mage, so this alone was enough.

After I finished charging in almost 0.3 seconds because of the cast speed increase potion, I quickly fired a chain lightning at the opponent Mage.

[All] aoko1: ?

The ice sphere, which had been charging hard, suddenly cut off and the opponent Mage, who had lost 15% of his health, chatted as if flustered. After checking the damage with my own eyes, I smiled.

The damage came out much better than I expected. There was an attack power increase buff on me, but it was mostly because the opponent’s armor was weak.

The spearman, who became much more urgent than before, began to intersperse the spear with a magic skill. Because it was such an obvious attack pattern, I was able to avoid everything except for two target skills. Since I also had the shield turned on, there was no damage.

I continued to hit the opponent mage with Chain Lightning while avoiding the spearman’s attacks with evasion skills and full control.

Because the skill casting speed is faster than the time the stun is released, it was difficult for the opponent to even move, let alone casting the skill, in the infinite stunned state.

[All] aoko1: Ah

[All] aoko1: Fuck

The opponent, who was hit with Chain Lightning 9 times in a row by me, died without even trying to do anything. Now that the long-distance dealer is dead, the situation is much more comfortable than before.

Even so, my defense was weak, so there was a risk of death if the spearman got too close. He did not slow down, and this time he used one of the flame magic spells, the Flamer.

With a blazing sound effect, a hot diamond-shaped fire spread around my character. This skill, which looks like shooting a flamethrower, was one of the best ranged skills, especially when dealing with characters close-up.

While the fire was being shot, the spearman character, who was running towards the flamer skill that continued to give a stiffening effect and deal damage per second, staggered and began to bleed quickly.

There was nothing more to do. Even if I just keep charging and shoot, the spearman will never stick to me. Perhaps the opponent realized that too, and when he had about 30% of his stamina left, he started running away in a hurry.

[All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ

Will you let me go, you bastard. I recast the Chain Lightning that killed the mage by chatting as if to tease him and using it on the spearman.

He certainly took less damage than the mage, but he can’t escape because he’s caught in CC anyway, so I can use it again and again like before.

Kkea-ak! In the final attack, the spearman also collapsed next to Mage. After winning the 2:1 match, I felt relieved and leisurely picked up the items that had fallen on the floor.

When you die in field PVP, you have a chance to drop the item you are wearing. The Mage dropped the staff he was using, and the spearman dropped the bracelet accessory with the movement speed increase embedded in it.

[All] I’m Sleepy: Instead of being behind the scenes and cursing around,

[All] I’m Sleepy: Improve your skills

Compared to the experience of fighting Yoo Chae, it was quite trivial. Still, I’ve relieved my stress, so it doesn’t matter.

I should just feed the items I picked up to my better equipment. The staff or bracelets or what I had was better, but I don’t know whether I have to return it after going through this humiliation.

‘I’ll just go do something else since I’m not going to do any additional quests.’

I came here to hunt with all my heart in mind, but I lost interest after meeting these kinds of people.

That was when I was going to use the return scroll to go back to Veritas city. There was a strong sense of foreboding.

“……!”

As soon as the evasion skill was pressed, the screen flashed bright red as a hit mark. I quickly rolled down the floor with only 30% of my stamina left, and I turned the view of the screen to the right.

[All] Significant: Oou

[All] Significant: Avoid this

Dozens of swords were falling from the sky. It was the ultimate skill of the Warlord. A bleeding indicator appears next to your health, and your recovery is incredibly slow.

[All] I’m Sleepy: ?

On the other side stood a white character from head to toe. Judging by the twinkling black and golden colors he was holding, it must have been a level 9 weapon.

It was the guild master of the <Fever> guild. No wonder no one said anything, did you guys even whine through the guild chat?

‘But why did Gilma come here?’

My head hurt all over because of how ridiculous this situation became. Shit, you’re worse than Yoo Chae.

[All] Significant: ㅋㅋㅋhi

It was not a joke to say hello as if I was a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

[All] I’m Sleepy: What are you doing?

[All] Significant: what do you mean

[All] Significant: Vengeance

As soon as that chat opened, something blue flew towards me and hit me. The Evasion skill was on cooldown, so I tried moving as much as possible, but was in no avail. It seemed to be an unavoidable target skill.

The rest of the blood was swept away in an instant, and the screen turned gray. Ugh, my character, who collapsed while spitting out a flurry, dropped the staff out of the many wearable items.

[All] Significant: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅅㅅ

[All] Ganbok: Ah, stop playing

[All] Ganbok: Save me quickly ㅡㅡ;

Ignoring the chat of the other guild member, the ‘Significant’ character walked up to me and picked up the staff.

[All] Significant: what is this

[All] Significant: I thought it was garbage

[All] Significant: Luck 2? You’re using a pretty expensive one?

‘……Expensive?’

I definitely searched the auction house when I received it? Did I search for something different from the one I have?

[All] Significant: Why didn’t you come to our guild when we asked you to?

[All] Significant: Anyway, this happened either way

[All] Significant: I’m taking this staff?

“Hu……”

[All] Significant: or

[All] Significant: You can join the guild now?

[All] Significant: Then I’ll give the staff back ㅋㅋㅋ

‘Why do these bastards keep telling me to join the guild...……… .’

I rubbed the back of my neck, which had become stiff due to heat, a couple of times with my hand, and chatted with an irritated smile.

[All] I’m Sleepy: fuck you bastard

Even if I stayed dead longer, I wanted to see only bullshit, so I risked the experience and gold loss and pressed for the central city's revival.

My character, which was resurrected with half its stamina in the middle of a plaza crowded with numerous users, had both hands empty unlike usual. After suffering a painful defeat, my stomach was boiling hot.

I got up from my seat, took out cold water from the refrigerator, and drank it gully. After completely drinking a bottle of 500 mL of bottled water, I returned to the computer and clicked End Recording.

I managed to not cry, barely swallowing the rising resentment, and gradually cleared up the situation. So, what I need to do now is……

‘Of course, I should get my staff back, damn it.’

Whose weapons these bastards dare to take. It’s even expensive. I thought I would have to get my staff back and kill Fever Gilma to loosen up a bit.

[Yoo Ji-han: Hey]

[Yoo Ji-han: What is Luck 2?]

[Yoo Ji-han: Please explain]

First of all, I left a question in a personal message to Kim Dae-seok, returned to the Zenoris screen and opened the friend window. The hand on the keyboard hesitated for a moment, but then moved without hesitation.

ㆍYoo Chae〈Added〉

When I wrote the username of Yoo Chae in the Add Friends window, the guy was added to the friend list. After waiting like that for about a minute, a message popped up in the lower right corner indicating that Yoo Chae was logged in, and a message flew in urgently.

[Yoo Chae: Hyung?]

[Yoo Chae: Hyung, are you alright?]

[Yoo Chae: why did Hyung take the initiative to be friends with me first?]

"Haa……….”

I sighed heavily when I saw the guy who was excited about adding some friends and running around. After I made friends with him and didn’t say anything, Yoo Chae sent another message.

[Yoo Chae: What’s wrong?]

[Yoo Chae: Is something wrong?]

This was worth a try. I pressed my hand over my swollen eyes and chatted.

[I’m Sleepy: Hey]

[I’m Sleepy: I’m thinking of using you.]
