◈ The Seven-Time Hero Goes Live ◈
Chapter 58: Villain Appears (2)
──────
The Gaksalbeop community.
It had been set up quickly when the Awakening crisis first began, and countless Awakeners had come to use it.
Practically every Awakener checked this community.
It was the only place created in those earliest, most chaotic days where people could exchange information.
[A C-Rank mage class Awakener’s Guide to Handling Goblins]
[D-Ranks Are People Too, We Can Hunt Too]
[Anyone Asking If Melee Classes Are Really Hopeless, Get In Here]
[E-Rank Production Class Leveling Guide]
Back when Goblins had suddenly started appearing everywhere, posts about how each Rank should respond kept going up.
Awakeners had no choice but to rely on the place.
But maybe because people had grown less wary of monsters these days, the mood had shifted a little.
1st) Why D-Ranks are ultimately the most useless lol
2nd) Aren’t E-Ranks actually gods? Indoor office jobs lol
3rd) Matchmaking agency survey finds E-Ranks are the most preferred...
.
.
.
There were now plenty of posts where different Ranks fought over the pecking order.
Of course, the one always brought up in these posts was Kang Hae-il, the only revealed S-Rank.
6th) Still all below Kang Hae-il lol
-GOAT
-For real lol
-Did you see him fight? He’s fucking strong
-This is what an Awakener should be, damn it. These E-Rank scrubs acting tough because they’ve framed themselves as office workers are pathetic lol
└Mad that E-Rank god-office workers level up somewhere with air conditioning?
-Good wives still want E-Rank office workers, tsk tsk
└What kind of template is this lol
-Kang Hae-il is even ridiculously handsome, fucking insane...
According to the theory that Rank was everything, Kang Hae-il, as an S-Rank, was the strongest person in the world.
But there was always one rebuttal to posts like these.
-Nothing beats L4GS
The claim was that L4GS was the strongest.
Of course, it was not the majority opinion.
└?
└???
└What the hell are you talking about lol
└He’s just Goblin-only lol
In the early days of the chaos, nobody disputed L4GS’s strength.
But L4GS had shown far too little through the media since then.
-Fuck, L4GS has only got Hero of Line 4, fought Kang Hae-il, stopped the Bukhansan Swarm. That’s it. And all of it happened when Goblins were around lol
Just as that comment said, L4GS had only been active when Goblins were around.
At least, that was all the citizens could see.
They had never seen L4GS, Moon Jun-il, kill the Champion Goblin, wipe out an entire Necromancer group chat, cut down the Patchwork Corpse Golem in a single stroke, or beat the dust out of Kang Hae-il with a box cutter.
-L4GS hasn’t even revealed his Rank. He probably isn’t S-Rank.
└Even giving him the benefit of the doubt, B-Rank. That’s how he fights.
└For real, it doesn’t look like he has many skills.
-Just let L4GS stay the Hero of Line 4...
-Bullshit, L4GS is the strongest. He completely toyed with Kang Hae-il when they fought.
└Toyed with him, my ass lol. Kang Hae-il just went easy on him to save civilians.
└That was ages ago.
A long time had passed.
While Jun-il took a breather through gold exchange, Hae-il resolved to grow stronger and avenge his father.
He had cleared countless Gates.
The one and only S-Rank, a handsome face, and actions driven by conviction. That was more than enough for the media to package him as a new Hero.
[Kang Hae-il is at Gangnam Station ㅠㅠㅠ]
[Fuck, we’re saved... Kang Hae-il is here]
[Kang Hae-il has arrived]
[Why is his motorcycle entrance so fucking cool?]
That was about the only consolation Hae-il’s Constellations had gotten lately.
The citizens’ Hero was Kang Hae-il, not L4GS.
At least, that had been true before the Gangnam Station Gate opened.
8th) Gangnam Station Hae-il is trolling hard lol
==== ====
(Video)
An ally’s ass is on fire~!
LMAOOOOOOOOO
This is... an S-Rank?
==== ====
-?
-For real??
-Isn’t the wind just screwing him over?
-What is that aim, fuck lol
-He’d be dead already if he wasn’t ice-type lol
-No, this is frustrating. Why is he only fighting from far away?
└For real, Hae-il hyung is normally a total brawler
└Did Yoo Ji-hoon piss him off again? That guy’s personality is seriously awful
-?
-Fuck, Hae-il hyung!!
The community users were just as flustered.
They might look foolish sitting around posting comments, but they were all Awakeners too.
They knew very well how nonsensical it was to use skills like that.
And when things got to this point, the same comment always showed up again.
-I told you, nothing beats L4GS.
└L4GS fanboy, you’re crossing the line. Why doesn’t he show up at Gangnam Station, then?
└Fuck off lol
└Are you L4GS?
└Goblin Slayer, go cook some rice.
The theory that L4GS was stronger than Kang Hae-il.
But he had not shown himself for a long time.
Above all, he was nowhere to be seen even during an important event like the Gangnam Station Gate explosion.
-If L4GS really had a Hero’s heart, he would’ve come here instead of taking Instagram verification photos lol
└For real lol
└He shit himself when he saw the Orcs and couldn’t come. He only picks on Goblins lol
└He’s shaking now that he’s seen a real bully lol
Like this, the Awakeners did not acknowledge L4GS.
However...
10th) The news crowd is totally looking for L4GS though? lol
==== ====
(Photo)
It’s a screenshot, but they’re all looking for L4GS lol
==== ====
Ordinary citizens thought a little differently.
They did not know much about the Awakeners’ circumstances.
And people always remembered the first time best.
The Hero of Line 4, who had prevented a major disaster when all this first began, had made the deepest impression on them.
-Clueless people can’t be helped
-They act like that because they don’t know anything...
-That’s why they can’t even reach Level 10, fuck lol
-Sigh
-What’s with all this L4GS talk lol
Naturally, the Gaksalbeop users still did not acknowledge him.
* * *
Jun-il snickered.
Whether people acknowledged him or not, he could barely hold back his laughter.
‘This is how you pit one enemy against another.’
Fwoooosh!
It was because of the little game of fire he was playing using the Wind Spirit.
Jun-il’s favorite method.
The perfect way to get things done without lifting a finger.
“Ugh, aah! Hot! Fuck, Kang Hae-il! What are you doing!?”
Kang Hae-il’s flames were teaching that irritating Yoo Ji-hoon a lesson too.
Jun-il could not have been more satisfied.
His Constellations felt the same way.
-Is this bastard actually a demon? LMAOOOO
-Ack lol
-I shouldn’t laugh, but this is so fucking funny lol
-Yoo Ji-hoon, fuck lol
-It’s not like he’s actually grilling him to death~
-Honestly, upvote if Moon Jun-il uses fire better than Kang Hae-il lol
“Hehehe~!”
The Wind Spirit loved messing around, so it flew through the air with a wide grin.
It was having fun after finally getting out of the pendant and causing chaos again.
“Why does it keep going like that?”
Kang Hae-il could not understand why his aim kept missing.
Of course, this was not a natural wind. It was the Wind Spirit’s mischief.
“Isn’t that bastard doing it on purpose!?”
Before long, Yoo Ji-hoon’s party began to suspect Kang Hae-il was deliberately roasting Yoo Ji-hoon.
It was not an unreasonable thought.
He kept hitting only Yoo Ji-hoon, after all. Anyone would find that strange.
But something even stranger was happening.
“But he’s really aiming properly. The wind just keeps coming this way.”
As Yoo Ji-hoon’s party healer said, Kang Hae-il was aiming precisely at the Orcs.
He was even deliberately aiming off to avoid the wind.
Yet every time, the wind direction changed as if by magic and went straight for Yoo Ji-hoon’s ass again.
“Hot, hot, hot, hot!”
Crack!
Yoo Ji-hoon’s ice barrier shattered once more.
-LMAOOOOOOOO
-Lol fuck lol
-For real, he’s jumping around lol
-Ack lol
-He really isn’t dying despite being A+, though
Yoo Ji-hoon still showed the resilience of an A+-Rank Awakener.
Even with flames following his ass around, Yoo Ji-hoon was cutting down Orcs one by one.
‘Oh.’
It was skill enough to impress Jun-il.
But the real harassment had not even begun.
“N-no! Fuck... Hae-il hyung! Why do you keep shooting at Yoo Ji-hoon!?”
-?
-???
-Wow lol
-What?
-Fuck lol
Jun-il even threw in a little discord.
It was not that he held any grudge against Kang Hae-il.
‘I have to do what I have to do.’
Business was business.
-For real, this would grind my teeth too lol
-The people in Kang Hae-il’s stream are going to lose all their teeth lol
-Die die die die
-Jun-il is not L4GS. Absolutely not.
-Did Kang Hae-il kill this guy’s whole family or what?
-At least he’s grilling Yoo Ji-hoon instead of Kang Hae-il~
“I’m not doing it on purpose.”
“Hyung! Don’t shoot there, shoot over here!”
“Where?”
“Where I throw it!”
Whoosh!
Jun-il took a dagger from his Inventory and threw it.
The amount of mana infused into the dagger was nearly five times the normal amount.
But nobody properly saw it through their blazing field of view.
“Over there?”
“Yes!”
“I tried there earlier...”
“Hurry!”
Kang Hae-il tilted his head, but tried anyway.
KABOOOM!
“!”
Suddenly, the flames struck exactly where Kang Hae-il intended, without even an inch of error, and the Orcs’ barricade completely collapsed.
Rumble...
-Whoa
-Precise orders, damn
-Nice
-Support carry, damn
-How much does a Porter have to do for them? lol
-I want to kill him
-Wasn’t it the dagger that knocked it down?
The Orcs had been holding their ground behind structures like barricades.
But as those structures crumbled, the Orcs began to die beneath them instead.
“Grrr...!”
“Grr!?”
Yoo Ji-hoon’s party, fighting in front, nearly got buried as well, barely managing to dive out of the way.
“C-crazy!”
“What is this!? Why is it collapsing?”
“Something... flew in.”
A mage in Yoo Ji-hoon’s party, sensitive to mana, found Jun-il’s dagger throw suspicious.
“What was that? Wasn’t it something that Porter threw?”
But Jun-il grinned and openly displayed his Rank.
Ding~
[F]
Then, pointing to the Rank above his own head, he asked Hae-il,
“F-Ranks can be useful too, right?”
“That’s right. Ranks are, to begin with...”
“Just numbers!”
Slap!
The two high-fived.
Seeing that, Yoo Ji-hoon commented,
“Hmph. It’s like a support who did nothing calling carry after the game is already over.”
-For real lol
-Fuck lol
-Princess carry~ >_<
-I want to kill him
-Lol, support lol
“But the dagger definitely...”
“Don’t pay attention to an F-Rank.”
Yoo Ji-hoon snapped.
“He thinks he did something amazing.”
“Got it.”
The mage completely withdrew any suspicion toward Jun-il.
‘Huh?’
That was when it happened.
A black figure suddenly attacked the mage.
KABOOOM!
-Gasp
-Huh
-Whoa
Before anyone could blink, the mage was caught in a giant wolf’s jaws.
Crunch...
“Ah, aaaaaaah!”
The scream did not last long.
Hot red blood burst everywhere as the mage’s body exploded.
Pop.
“Khahahahaha!”
The rider atop the wolf laughed.
[Kerak Lv.28]
Kerak, an Orc riding a wolf.
An elite warrior.
-Whoa
-Gasp
-A named monster
-Holy shit
-What? He looks fucking strong
Two more Orcs on wolves lined up beside Kerak.
[Notaura Lv. 23]
[Dabuk Lv 23]
There were three of these monsters.
Even the lower-level Orcs were one level higher than Kang Hae-il.
‘Huh.’
So a real Gate had burst open.
‘Jackpot.’
Then Jun-il suddenly spoke to Hae-il.
“H-hyung. I, um... need to use the bathroom...”
“Now? We’re in the middle of a fight.”
-Fuck lol
-He’s going to the bathroom? lol
-Crazy lol
“N-no, I think I’m going to piss myself.”
Even Jun-il knew it was a ridiculous excuse.
But he had built up trust with Hae-il, and above all, he had an invincible shield.
“Fine. Go. You’re F-Rank anyway.”
“...?”
That shield was his F-Rank.
-Fuck lol
-LMAO
-Hae-il hyung is still dealing F-Rank damage to him to the very end lol
-That expression lol
-Wait, is L4GS about to show up? lol
-Caring for the elderly and infirm, damn
Boom!
That was when Yoo Ji-hoon’s party members at the front began falling one after another.
“F-fuck, Hae-il hyung!”
Yoo Ji-hoon’s voice rang out.
“Come up here already! We’re all going to die at this rate!”
-LMAOOOOOOOO
-He calls him hyung when he’s desperate?
-Fuck lol
-Fuck, Hae-il hyung!!
-Yoo Ji-hoon vs. Seong Gi-hun
“...Should I go?”
Kang Hae-il was finally about to fight seriously.
Rustle.
Hae-il took off his jacket.
He wore a sleeveless shirt underneath, exposing arms lined with lean muscle.
He had prepared clothing for fights because his clothes burned whenever he fought.
-Nice
-His only skill is that face
-Damn
-I told you handsome men not to work out...
-Let’s go, fuck
-I really believe in him this time
-Is he going to get hit with “It’s me <(_ _)/” again? lol
-Where did that Porter bastard go?
His Constellations were finally showing some anticipation again.
