It was around this time. James had been separated from the players since the start of the game and he was pouting.
“Ah, this is no fun. Really.” James lay on a high tree and grumbled.
He was now hiding and waiting for his enemies. It was a mission that Damian had given him in advance. James had many survival specific skills so it was possible for him. He wandered around alone because he was in charge of assassinations and reconnaissance. He acted as the eye of the United States and sometimes as the sword to intercept enemies.
“...I need something hotter.”
Of course, he knows the importance of his duty, but James wanted to do more. He thought that if he became famous and shot advertisements, he would be able to help his parents who were working hard in the United States.
‘Sigh. It is crazy. Why didn’t I pull the trigger at that time...?’
[The enemy has been detected.]
[The detection mine has been destroyed.]
“......!”
James was surprised by the sudden message and quickly pulled out his gun. He looked in the direction where the magic engineering skill he installed, Detection Mine, was triggered. It was a wide plains area a bit further north from here.
“I don’t know who it is, but they came well.”
Click.
James quickly loaded his pistols and carefully stepped in the direction of the enemy. He soon found the army of undead running from that direction. “What? France?”
James zoomed in his goggles so he could identify the target. These goggles were made with the essence of magic engineering and didn’t use magic power. It was the sharp weapon of a civilization closer to science than magic.
James’ eyes widened when he saw the attack target of the French team. ‘Mido?’
All the members of the South Korean team, including Mido, were looking at the undead and wondering what to do. South Korea’s Park Muyeol moved first and fired a terrifying sword energy at the undead. It crossed the ground like a bison and smashed through the undead.
However, the undead were more powerful than expected. Louis Cassel’s strength with the power of death was so good that it was worthy of the first ranked necromancer in the rankings. The speed of undead’s revival was also fast. South Korea would be in danger if left alone.
James was troubled for a moment.
‘Choi Mido, it is you again...’
James was trying to forget her so Choi Mido wasn’t sweet. He thought he had forgotten her, but after a long time, she was much more mature and beautiful than before. Choi Mido was embedded in his heart and didn’t easily leave.
‘It will be dangerous if this continues...’
James closed his eyes and thought about it. He soon made a decision and murmured in a small voice so no one could hear it.
“...Choi Mido, you have a really good ex-boyfriend.”
In fact, he never wanted to reveal this power. He would’ve been expelled if it was known that the reason he joined the Zeus Guild was to obtain this.
“Hey, have you forgotten the promise? You said you would give me great power.”
James looked up at the sky and asked someone. Jamies pulled out one more gun from his inventory, loaded it and gathered the magic power in his body.
[The first-grade star, ‘Traveler of the Wilderness,’ is nodding.]
Traveler of the Wilderness—this constellation had continued to express interest in James after he ate the Star Fruit he accidentally acquired. The only one who showed constant interest during the month was Traveler of the Wilderness. James had become very close to him.
“Good. I’ll choose you as my constellation.”
The moment he nodded, a message appeared in the air.
[World: A new legend has awakened!]
[His name is Pistol Star's Beloved.]
[The Star Piece you have in your hand is the Star Relic of the constellation.]
[The Star Piece has engraved a constellation on your body.]
A constellation was engraved on James’ right forearm.
[From now on, the Star Piece is permanently dependent on you.]
At the same time, black smoke rose from the new gun that responded to his magic power. James was currently holding the ‘☆ Star Piece, Revolver Used by the Traveler of the Wilderness’ that Damian obtained during the last Minotaur raid.
[The skills sealed in this Star Piece will start to be released.]
Soon after, a star rose over James’ head. Then...
James slowly merged into the shadows.
* * *
“Turn off Transparency.”
[Transparency is released.]
The moment the young man called James disappeared into the ground, I felt the strength in my body rushing out. I leaned back against the tree and took deep breaths. “Sigh. I almost got caught.”
I thought I would start another battle when I first stepped into this place. I was caught by a detection mine. I used invisibility to avoid a fight. I also wanted to confirm the person who installed the mine in this place and it was this young man who appeared. Fortunately, he seemed to think that the mine had detected France, who led an undead army not far away.
“......”
I stared with complicated eyes at James, who was shooting from all directions in the distance. His power after choosing Traveler of the Wilderness as a constellation was terrifying. He approached the undead using the shadow evil spirit behind him and the evil spirit’s sharp claws brought about a dark night. Dark clouds arrived and a temporary night came to the area.
“Who the hell is that?!”
“Suddenly, the weather has become dark!”
“Block it!”
However, the French team couldn’t stop James. He probably even had a Star Piece because his current strength was second only to Michael, who was chosen by one of the Zodiacs. James permeated into the shadows and defeated the French-led undead army. His rapid-fire shooting and endless shadow bullets produced a tremendous synergy effect. Now he might be stronger than myself.
Tatatatang!
“......”
Despite his performance, I couldn’t smile. It was due to the words James had spoken before he permeated into the shadows. “...Ex-boyfriend?”
I knew what this meant. However, I didn’t know that Mido had a boyfriend. She had never mentioned it to her family before. Based on the word ‘ex-boyfriend’, it was clear that they weren’t currently dating. On one hand, it was fortunate. On the other hand, it made me even angrier.
“Bad guy...! How dare you make my Mido cry?”
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is clenching his fists.]
Countless images couldn’t leave my mind. The two of them broke up so they definitely couldn’t have ended well. In any case, this was how relationships were between young people these days. It was a fact that I knew from watching celebrities on TV. There were things I heard from all over the place. In any case, the important thing was that this damn guy had dated Mido and made her cry. It was an unchangeable truth.
“...Youuuu.” I clenched my fists as I barely gritted out the word. I wanted to kick his face and break his limbs, but I had to put up with it. He was currently very strong and wasn’t an easy opponent for me. Additionally, he was helping South Korea by killing those French team members.
...I should aim for him when he was tired. I had this thought as I used Transparency to hide himself and looked for an opportunity. A short time later, a message appeared.
[The French team has been eliminated.]
It happened in less than five minutes. I maximized my super sensitivity and checked his condition. James was on one knee and gasping for breath. The moment the master of the undead died, the undead became black soil and crumbled to the ground.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is saying that he is tired.]
“I know.”
It was a constellation skill called Shadow Demon, but it was actually the Traveler of the Wilderness’ special move. Additionally, the shadow bullets poured out from the Star Piece indiscriminately. It was natural that magic exhaustion would occur. I held the Shadow Dagger and set the goal. The goal was naturally James.
“Shadow Play.”
I briefly moved through the world of shadows and appeared behind James. I immediately used Solomon’s Ring to restrain his movements. I couldn’t use the cobwebs. The blue ring stretched out like a thread to bind James.
“W-What? Mido’s grand...!”
“Shut up. This guy.”
“......”
[Solomon’s Ring is preparing Eyes of Judgment.]
[The ring has observed the user, ‘James.’]
Mido might not be in his heart anymore. Well, it didn’t matter. It was a problem if he had Mido in his heart and a problem even if he didn’t. I would be kicking his ass today. Then the person in his heart was...
[James’ favorite person of the opposite sex is ‘Mido.’]
The fine thread holding into my sense of reason broke and I yelled. “Yoooooooou!!!”
[You have ruled the target as a ‘couple.’]
[All of the target’s stats are reduced by 20%.]
“Hiiik—?!”
James’ face was white as his body became heavy due to the sudden drop in stats. I ruled him as a couple. Yes, they were a ‘separated couple.’
“This guy dares—!!!!”
I turned 360 degrees in the air at high speed and kicked him. The shocked James couldn’t attack. He threw himself to the side and rolled across the ground. His black coat was covered with dirt.
“Hey, Grandfather? That... I think there has been a misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding? This damn brat! I will break your limbs today!”
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is supporting you.]
However, the fight didn’t last long. James restored some magic power and started to flee into the shadows. I quickly reached out. “This...!”
“Grandfather. I think there is a big misunderstanding. I hope we will be able to unravel the misunderstanding later...”
“Stand there, this guy!”
I missed James due to the slightest difference. I reached out and grabbed dirt instead of James. I looked up at the sky and sighed deeply. “...Sigh. That rotten guy dares to run away?”
It was at this time.
“Grandfatheeeer—!” I turned my head in the direction of the voice. I could see the Korean team running toward me, with Mido in the lead. The moment she arrived, Mido looked at me with a smile. “Look, oppas. It was my grandfather! It was dark because Grandfather used a skill called Black Night’s Arrival.”
“As expected, your grandfather is very strong.”
“The many undead troops aren’t your opponents at all.”
“This is because it is as dark as night.”
“Amazing.”
Somehow, they misunderstood that I was behind the previous fight. I decided not to make excuses. It was because it could reduce morale for no reason. They would find out after the game anyway. This wasn’t the main thing right now. I thought of James, who I met before, and his image overlapped with Mido.
Mido cocked his head to one side. “...?”
They worked better as a pair than I thought. However...
“Grandfather, do you have anything to say to me?"
I shook my head. “No. Let’s move on. There’s poisonous gas coming.”
I decided not to ask. It was a problem that the two people needed to solve. There was no way I could go out and say something.
“Everyone has lost a lot of physical strength. Just wait a moment.”
I started taking cooking utensils out of my inventory. First of all, it was necessary to feed and buff the weak people in front of me.
