Mido smiled happily when she saw the small map that was being drawn on the wooden board. Perhaps she was the only participant who was a painter. During the time when she was preparing for the trials, she thought about how to maximize this advantage to be selected for the national team. She learned how to observe the terrain and features from hidden explorer NPCs. The fruit of her labor was now appearing.
[You are creating a map of the surrounding terrain.]
[It will take around one minute.]
She climbed up the tallest tree to capture the surrounding terrain in greater detail. She was located in the middle of Hallasan and the surrounding seas that were modeled after Jeju Island. She looked at and drew the shabby buildings in the distance. Currently, half the island was visible to her.
[The Unfinished Wooden Plank Map is completed.]
However, it was enough.
Mido contemplated the half map and started to take a shortcut to the nearest building. The other half of the map would have to be completed as she wandered around. It was time to start.
[Poisonous fog has started to spread from the edge of the island.]
“It has already started.”
Thick poison fog crossed the beach and started to occupy it. The poisonous fog decreased 10% health per second, thus the host said to be careful of it. Mido walked toward a nearby building with no hesitation. It took 30 minutes for the poisonous fog to erode all the island so there was still a lot of time left. Before that, Mido decided to search for another box and scoured the surrounding grass.
Fortunately, there were no ambushes awaiting her. By this time, she had walked for five minutes. She could see the shabby building that she had been aiming for in the distance.
“Ack!”
Suddenly, she heard a scream from the building and a disturbance. It seemed someone was fighting inside. Mido was tense as she tightly gripped her sword.
‘Is it an enemy...?’
She recalled everything she had trained in the past and carefully approached the building. The shadows inside were moving with a rustling sound.
“Ah, the only thing I obtained was the Power Stone.”
The man clicked his tongue and walked out the door. Mido calmed her pounding heart and prepared to launch a surprise attack the moment the man came out. Soon, the man opened the door and came out.
Creak.
Mido swung her sword horizontally toward the man’s head. She condensed all of her training as the sword reached the man’s head...
“Choi Mido...?”
Mido’s sword managed to stop exactly 1cm away from his forehead. She looked at the man in front of her with narrowed eyes. The same was true for the opposite man.
“Oppa, it is you?”
“...Can you remove that sword?”
“Ah, sorry. Haha...”
Mido smiled and concealed the sword behind her. In front of her was Eun Jeonghyeok with a bow on his back.
* * *
There was the sound of searching through shelves.
“There is nothing there?”
“Yes, there is nothing. Perhaps this is it?”
“Look some more.”
“I know~”
Mido decided to search the interior of the building with Eun Jeonghyeok. Fortunately, the two of them were together, but they couldn’t stay here forever. There might be an ambush waiting for them outside, just like what she previously did. The poisonous fog had also crossed the beach and was slowly entering the forest.
‘There is no box in this place...’
Mido was thinking as she searched the area. There were still traces of fierce fighting on the floor of the building, but the user killed by Eun Jeonghyeok had already disappeared. It was said that he first shot with the arrows and finished it off by grasping an arrow and stabbing the neck.
Eun Jeonghyeok had an archer class so he obtained 10 arrows and a bow from the box in the beginning. Of course, the arrows could be reused. There were still 10 arrows in his quiver.
‘By the way, it seems he hasn’t lost his strength in close combat.’
Originally, Eun Jeonghyeok had an assassin type class when he first started Arkstar. Then he received the hidden class ‘Archer of Light’ and changed his class in the middle, but Eun Jeonghyeok still sometimes enjoyed close combat fighting. She heard that it was very thrilling. In any case, he seemed to be born with a natural sense of combat.
“Eh?”Suddenly, she found a wooden box.
“Oppa, I found it!”
Eun Jeonghyeok jumped at Mido’s cry. She was in a shabby room and pointed under the bed. Eun Jeonghyeok calmly pulled out the box and opened it.
[Lowest Health Recovery Potion x2]
[Old Iron Dagger]
“Hrmm. This is okay?”
Eun Jeonghyeok looked satisfied as he held the Old Iron Dagger. It was a bit rusty, but it was still pretty good. He swung it a few times through the air and smiled with even more satisfaction. Then he looked at Mido.
“Can you hold the potions?”
“Yes. Understood.”
Normally, she would’ve said, ‘Why should I listen to you? Oppa, you do it.’ However, Mido strangely felt like she was indebted to him after he was killed by the poisonous dagger in the Colosseum event instead of her. That’s why she thought that she should listen to Eun Jeonghyeok as much as possible after that day.
“What a surprise. I thought you would lose your temper, but you actually listened to me?”
Eun Jeonghyeok seemed to penetrate Mido’s innermost thoughts and his words pierced her heart like thorns. She stuttered like she had been stabbed, “W-When did I do that? Hah, that’s hilarious.”Mido hurriedly packed away the two potions and rushed to the door. She looked like an angry Tyrannosaurus and Eun Jeonghyeok couldn’t help biting his lip to suppress his laugh. The moment she opened the door to go out, something entered Eun Jeonghyeok’s eyes.
“Get down!”
“What?”
The moment Mido looked back toward Eun Jeonghyeok, a sharp arrow flew past Mido by a hair’s breadth, cutting off Mido’s hair. Mido quickly rolled to the side and stared at her fluttering hair with a pale expression. The place where she had been standing was instantly struck by two arrows.
Mido hurriedly closed the door. She managed to calm her beating heart and spoke to Eun Jeonghyeok, “Oppa, I think we are surrounded.”
The number of people Mido had just seen was drawn on the wooden plank. There were three circles. It was obvious what this meant. Eun Jeonghyeok also understood it. It meant there were now three people standing outside the door. However, this might not be all of them.
“Hah, there is big trouble.”
Eun Jeonghyeok smiled like he was having fun.
“Oppa, how could you laugh now? What should we do?” Mido asked with a confused expression.
However, they had ambushed the wrong person. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that today’s final event was specially prepared for Eun Jeonghyeok.
“Don't worry.”
His job was ‘Archer of Light.’
“They’re all dead.”
Eun Jeonghyeok’s body started to become transparent as he reflected the light around him. Soon after, he completely disappeared. He was already running toward the enemies.
* * *
-Ahh~!Amazing.Player Eun Jeonghyeok!He alone has killed two enemies and collected four Power Stones!
-He can’t be stopped!Too powerful!Player Eun Jeonghyeok is moving like crazy!
-The Giant Guild is helpless!Amazing! -Ah~!Choi Mido has confirmed that all the archers are gone and has joined the battle!Only two people are pushing the Giant Guild!The power of the Icarus Guild is amazing!
The commentators were excited, while the stadium was filled with enthusiastic shouts. It was a performance that deserved it. Eun Jeonghyeok used Stealth to hide himself and took out the archers. Then his subsequent attacks were like a storm.
“Machine Arrow.”
The 10 arrows in Eun Jeonghyeok’s hands rushed toward the enemy tanker at a high speed like a machine gun. The speed was so fast that the tanker had to hide himself behind a large shield. Five arrows were blocked by the shield and fell in front of him. Three arrows were unable to be stopped and pierced the arms and shoulders of the tanker. As the other two arrows were stuck in the tree behind the tanker, Eun Jeonghyeok was already running toward the tanker.
He pulled an arrow from the tree, dual wielded it along with the dagger, and stabbed and cut the tanker’s back. It was good enough to be called a close-range damage dealer.
“He is quite good,” I muttered in a low voice.
My family members next to me were concentrating on the game screen, hands clasped together as they sweated nervously.
-Amazing!Players Eun Jeonghyeok and Choi Mido have trampled on the tanker with a brilliant joint attack. It ended with Player Eun Jeonghyeok pretending to attack while Choi Mido cut the tanker’s head!
-It is already the third one!All that remains is Kim Donghyun, the leader of the Giant Guild!
-Choi Mido is consuming a Power Stone for the second time!Icarus’ solo performance is continuing!The judges’ faces are very good!
At the same time, the faces of the judges appeared on the screen. They had their hands clasped together as they watched the situation with interest. I expected that Mido and Eun Jeonghyeok would get a pretty high score based on the judges’ expressions.
“Hmm. That person with the bow and arrow is quite good. Was he so strong?”
“Mido noona is no worse. She absorbed what I taught her and is growing quickly.”
“Well, that’s because I taught the basics well.”
“No, it is what I taught.”
“Let’s say that we both taught her well.”
I looked behind me at the familiar voices. Park Muyeol and Park Seongchan were standing there with arms crossed. I couldn’t help smiling at the strangely similar appearance of the two people.
“You only came now? Aren’t you too late?”
Park Muyeol replied, “Ah, there was a traffic jam.”
“No. In fact, we were late because grandfather was giving autographs.”
“Shut up, my grandson.”
“Grandfather, you are the noisy one.”
“Ah, look at how you’re speaking.”
I saw the two people growling at each other and thought they were still the same. Park Muyeol couldn’t hit his grandson, Park Seongchan, so he always grumbled about his grandson and lost to him.
-Ahh!A charge!Choi Mido is being attacked by the melee damage dealer Kim Donghyun!She is showing amazing control for a painter!
-Eun Jeonghyeok is aiming for the back!His arrow is flying toward Kim Donghyun’s back!
There was an exciting scene on the screen. Mido blocked the attack of the person called Kim Donghyun in a wonderful manner. Then the arrow fired by Eun Jeonghyeok pierced his back. The moment Kim Donghyun looked back with a frown, Mido took advantage of this gap to stab Kim Donghyun’s abdomen.
[Choi Mido’s second kill.]
The audience cheered the moment the system message rose.
