Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 361



361. The Third Demon Realm Gate (2)

The Demon Realm Gate floating on the beach of Hawaii.

A distance of nearly 10 km around the gate was surrounded by bright yellow safety lines.

Perhaps because the gate itself was a high-level double gate.

A chilling aura was spreading around the coast.

On the surface of the sea, there were fish floating belly-up, and insects that had been drawn by the rotten smell of the fish, only to be exposed to the aura and die, were floating on the seawater.

The Utopia Party, Master, and five seniors.

The twelve of us stood in front of the Demon Realm Gate.

“Ugh, the smell… This really feels dangerous.”

Sophia, wrinkling her nose, looked around and said.

“Rather, it’s fortunate.”

“Fortunate… you say?”

Sophia asked back in a puzzled voice.

The other party members didn’t speak, but they looked curious as to why it was fortunate.

“Thanks to the gate giving off such a dangerous vibe, we can hide the fact that we’re going with Master and his party.”

Originally, people would have flocked densely around the Demon Realm Gate.

Reporters wanting to watch Utopia’s expedition, hunters wanting to get some information about the Demon Realm Gate, and among them, the demons mixed in.

Now, clearing the Demon Realm Gate has become something like an international event.

However, since the gate is giving off such a dangerous vibe.

The reporters, who are ordinary people, had no choice but to retreat, and the hunters who had gathered out of curiosity swallowed their disappointment and withdrew at our recommendation.

And with all of them gone, the demons who wanted to mix in had no choice either.

If they were caught snooping around alone, they would face a bad end.

‘From the beginning, it wouldn’t be good for the Demon Assassination Squad to be known to enter the gate. Even if it’s known in the later stages of clearing the double gate, we can come out quickly, so it doesn’t matter.’

Come to think of it, is this the first time the Demon Assassination Squad is exposed to the media?

I’ve already discussed this part with Master.

Since none of the demons are unaware of the Demon Extermination Squad anyway.

As long as their exact faces and personal information are not revealed, it doesn’t matter.

‘It would be good to imprint this on people for sure this time.’

To let them know that these people have been protecting us from the shadows all this time.

I should talk to Shin Se-hee separately.

“Master.”

“Yes, I’ll go in first.”

For that reason, Master and we decided to proceed with the strategy a little apart.

Master and the senior members of the Extermination Squad went ahead as the vanguard to clear the way and gather information.

“It’s exciting to actually do what I’ve always just watched.”

“See you later, youngest!”

“Hehe, a Demon Gate. Experiencing something like this.”

“It seems fun…”

Master and the seniors disappeared into the gate first.

I watched their backs and then turned my head towards Shin Se-hee.

“Shin Se-hee, you should take a position a little away from the gate and command. It won’t be that toxic to the hunters who protect their bodies with mana. But still, there will be some damage. Can you stay connected even if you’re a bit far away?”

“Yes, if I’m too far from the gate, the connection weakens, but we concluded that up to about 1km is fine.”

“Alright, then let’s head out too.”

We left Shin Se-hee behind and stepped into the Demon Gate.

* * *

‘Where is this, who am I…?’

Once fervently cried out for justice.

Now the leader of the Utopia Sub-Party, which rolls day and night.

Lee Min-young, with her short orange bobbed hair, was suddenly called by Shin Se-hee and was sitting next to her like a sack of barley.

“…When you said to go to the Demon Gate together, I naturally thought you meant to enter the gate together.”

She thought it would be a tough gate strategy that would require her help.

So the day before, she bought all sorts of equipment and expensive dungeon-specific artifacts with her own money.

And at dawn, she even wrote a will to her mother and father with a solemn face.

Her emotions exploded, and a few tears fell on the letter.

But the place she arrived at was a narrow rectangular space set up away from the gate.

But the cramped interior, packed with hologram projectors and various state-of-the-art equipment, gave an overwhelming sense of pressure.

‘When on earth did you make all this…?’

Lee Min-young glanced at Shin Se-hee, who was placing her hand on the blue jewel with a serious expression.

“…Um, Ms. Shin Se-hee. Why exactly am I here?”

“Hmm, didn’t I explain? We’re going to start broadcasting now.”

“Yes, I see. So?”

“I want you to take on the role of the caster for the broadcast.”

“…What!? A caster?”

Lee Min-young’s mouth dropped open at the unexpected words.

“Ah, no, haven’t you been doing well so far? But why so suddenly…”

Lee Min-young was one of the avid viewers who always watched Utopia’s broadcasts with the Utopia sub-party.

And she was also well aware of Shin Se-hee’s camera movement skills and smooth hosting.

“Well, let’s start the broadcast first. Then we’ll go with the flow. A character who starts without knowing anything adds flavor to the broadcast.”

‘No, explain it to me!!’

Lee Min-young bit her lip and screamed internally.

But Shin Se-hee’s hand was already pressing the broadcast start button.

Ding─♬

[ Utopia LIVE] Inside the Demon Gate! feat. Lee Min-young ]

As soon as the broadcast started, people flocked in droves.

– It’s here! My Yadong!!!

– KIaaa!!!!

– Finally, finally, finally!!! Time that had stopped has started flowing again!

– Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha!

– The third Demon Gate!

– Ah, those demon b*stards were dawdling, now they’re finally working lol

– Huh? But Se-hee isn’t alone today? Who’s that next to her?

“Hello, everyone. I have a slightly different role in today’s gate strategy. I don’t think I’ll be able to do the commentary. So I’ve brought someone to help with the broadcast.”

The one who answered that question was Shin Se-hee, who was adjusting the camera angle.

With her usual bright smile, she said,

“Ah, hello! I am Lee Min-young, the leader of the Utopia sub-party!”

Frozen by the pressure of the crowd, Lee Min-young spat out in a stiff voice.

– Oh? The leader of the Utopia sub-party? I think I’ve heard of it.

– Lee Min-young doesn’t know? This guy is quite famous too?

– Haha, look at him frozen stiff, haha, cute, haha.

– But why isn’t Se-hee broadcasting today? I like Se-hee’s broadcasts.

“Ah, today I have to conduct.”

– Conduct…?

From noble mtl dot com

– Suddenly?

– Se-hee is conducting?

– Wasn’t it originally Jin Yoo-ha’s job?

Since it was the first time people heard about it, countless hooks rose in the chat window.

– Ah, did they add a voice transmission function to the gate camera?

“That’s right. I asked Director Rina for a favor. They added a separate voice transmission function. So now, I can also contribute to the battle as Utopia’s conductor.”

– Oh…

– Wow, that’s amazing then.

– What’s amazing? Is it different from when Jin Yoo-ha was conducting?

– Of course, it’s different. It’s completely different to grasp the situation in real-time and give orders in third person and to give orders while fighting at the same time.

– But Jin Yoo-ha did well.

– That’s because Jin Yoo-ha is a crazy guy. Normally, it’s impossible. Why do other parties or guilds practice joint attacks so much and give hand signals?

“You’re right. Jin Yoo-ha’s conduct is certainly amazing, to the point that it’s hard for me to catch up. But, on the other hand, it’s also true that we’ve been wasting Jin Yoo-ha’s abilities. Jin Yoo-ha’s real talent lies in his abilities as a dealer.”

– Have we been limiting his abilities?

– What…?

“Hehe, yes. So far, Jin Yoo-ha has been fighting and conducting at the same time, so he hasn’t been able to show his full skills. That’s why I’m taking over the conduct for this Demon Gate.”

Then, the slightly uneasy chat window started to rise rapidly.

– Wow, Jin Yoo-ha was already insanely strong, how much stronger will he get then?

– Ah, is that it? Jin Yoo-ha of the past era. Now it’s time for Jin Yoo-ha in serious mode.

– Indeed, it didn’t make sense. It’s easy to say to conduct while fighting at the same time. But in reality, it’s a nauseating level of difficulty.

Lee Min-young watched all the situations from the side and admired inwardly.

‘He turned people’s anxiety into expectation in an instant.’

Changing the command of Utopia is a significant matter.

Adding changes to something that has been going well inevitably brings concerns and worries.

However, Shin Se-hee alleviated those concerns and worries with just a few words.

She even turned them into anticipation.

Did she make this calculation on the spot? Or had she prepared it in advance?

Either way, she was a monster.

‘…Can I even imitate someone like this?’

Lee Min-young swallowed dryly once again.

“Hehe, so. Today, I brought Lee Min-young, who will take on the role of caster in my place. She knows how to watch battles and explain them. She’s someone I trust.”

“…I-I will do my best!”

For now, she had no choice but to raise the tension, whether she lived or died.

Lee Min-young awkwardly lifted the corners of her mouth.

“Ah, as I speak! The Utopia party has encountered the enemy!”

* * *

White spider webs filled the dark forest path, obstructing the way.

‘As expected, this gate turned out to be this one.’

The concept of this demonic gate was ‘Spider Nest.’

It was confirmed that the third gate to appear was a double gate.

But the type of demon appearing was random.

Well, I had a rough idea from the dead fish killed by the poison leaking from the gate.

‘…Normally, the combination of Spider Nest and double gate is the worst. Here, the terrain is more of a problem than the monsters.’

Unlike the first and second times when I drew winning lots, this time I drew a blank.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

Inside the gate, I expanded my detection range to the maximum.

Then, I saw the figures of my master and the senior members of the assassination squad ahead.

The vanguard, led by my master, moved swiftly.

Sticky spider webs stretched out in all directions, blocking the path.

Saaa─

Ice formed in the air from my master.

Whirrrrr─!

The octahedral ice spun and cut through the spider webs stretched out in all directions.

At the same time, spider webs clung to the ice.

But it didn’t matter.

If you immediately release the ice and recreate it, the object that the spider web was holding onto disappears.

Perhaps giving the attribute Ki-tan skill book to the master was the best choice.

And the seniors cleared away the broken spider webs.

Even the seniors, who had been so lively until a moment ago, fell silent with cold expressions as they entered the battle.

‘Master and the Demon Slayer seniors… This is much better than any sub-party…’

Ah, saying it’s good.

It’s not by current standards, but by the standards of the past Velvetra game.

Considering how much the power balance of the past game went to the moon with gacha and cash items, saying it’s amazing is not enough.

If they clear the path comfortably like this, our movements will become really easy.

It was then.

– Everyone, prepare for battle.

Shin Se-hee’s voice was heard.

‘These spider b*stards… They really look disgusting.’

The demon, Arachne’s offspring.

Monsters with the body of a giant spider and the upper body of a human were closing in on us.

Sreung─

We each drew our weapons in response.

“Shin Se-hee, please take command.”

– Leave it to me.

I chuckled at Shin Se-hee’s confident voice in my ear.
