Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 40

Episode 40
At that moment, the KPA cadets began their counterattack against Hongryeon.
Gap-seok, who ran out of the store late, ran to Yeong-su.
He was carrying a large metal cylinder on his shoulder.
A metal cylinder filled with unicorn blood.
“I brought it.”
“thank you.”
“Put that magic sword here quickly. Just being near that sword seems to drain my mental strength.”
Yeongsu put the magic sword he was holding into the cylinder.
As soon as the sword was immersed in the unicorn’s blood, the magical energy that was gushing out suddenly subsided.
After sealing the demon sword again, Youngsoo said.
“Hey Gapseok, give me some heel.”
“No, you don’t look hurt.”
“My MP is completely depleted. If you receive healing, your MP will recover faster. Oh, right? Do you have any potions?”
Yeongsu drank the mana potion while simultaneously receiving healing from Gapseok.
Gap-seok watched the cadets’ battle while casting a heal skill on Yeong-su.
The KPA cadets were running wild.
Quagwagwagwa!!
Straight black lightning bolts struck here and there in Hongryeon’s camp.
It was the wind that came out of the spear that Junyoung was swinging.
Kuoooo!
After that, the shape of a red dragon was tearing through Hongryeon’s camp, sending shock waves.
It was the skill of the Dragon Sword Master and his brother.
And into this chaotic space-
wickedness!
The sharp sword strike of the swordsman penetrated deep.
There is also support from the Paladin Jo Ha-seong and the Taoist Kim Myeong-cheol, as well as the formation collapse skill of the heavy knight.
They were completely trampling on the Hongryeon army.
Then what about the players on Hongryeon’s side?
“Ugh!”
“Hey, these kids!”
Likewise, it was being suffered unilaterally.
In fact, the skills and experience of the Hongryeon players were far superior to those of the KPA cadets.
However, there were two reasons why they were almost always unilaterally defeated.
Firstly, too much strength and mana was consumed in the process of breaking through the wild castle walls.
The problem was that I had been using my skills too spammily, thinking that I could easily subdue the beast with just regular troops if I could just break through the walls.
On the other hand, the KPA cadets were unable to do anything throughout the war, but their strength remained almost intact.
In terms of basic strength, Hongryeon had no choice but to be pushed back.
In addition, Hongryeon players had difficulty using their skills properly because of the panicked and disorganized regular soldiers.
And the second crucial reason.
The point was that the KPA cadets were not fighting with just their own raw capabilities.
‘Ten o’clock, a magic bullet is coming.’
‘Don’t use the charge now.’
‘The inspector should exit to the right and go back in. He’s in too deep now.’
‘Dragon Knight, watch your back.’
The sound of the spirits flying in continuously at the right time.
Thanks to the commander who could see the entire battle situation and relay all the optimal movements and unexpected dangers, the cadets were able to fight extremely efficiently.
This wasn’t even the first time he conducted through the entire sound.
Because I already did it so many times during the Wild Shopping District raid.
The strength that was preserved intact throughout the war, the enemies in disarray, and the sharp command of the leader who read the entire battle situation.
It was a situation where the KPA had no choice but to win.
‘good!’
‘We win!’
In this way, KPA’s morale soared without limit.
But even at that moment, Youngsoo did not let his guard down.
Because-
‘Hongryeon’s forces still remain.’
First of all, the Hongryeon forces gathered in the wild today could not have been all of them.
The proof of this was that less than 20 percent of the Hongryeon troops gathered today were player troops.
Hongryeon is the largest guild in South Korea.
There’s no way their player power would be anything other than what’s gathered here now.
‘It’s obvious that there are still a considerable number of players left in their base.’
That’s why Youngsoo was desperately trying to recover his MP.
Because there was a possibility that the remaining troops in the main camp would attack.
And Youngsoo’s prediction turned out to be correct.
A little faster than expected.
‘hmm?’
Youngsoo’s ‘Life Detection’ skill suddenly started sounding an alarm.
A sharp, heavy murderous feeling that is rapidly approaching.
The scale of the killing was small, but its sharpness and density were strong enough to rival that of a legion.
‘He’s strong.’
He is so strong that it is difficult to even discuss his victory or defeat.
Yeongsu gave instructions to the cadets by voice.
‘Everyone step back and get right behind me!’
The cadets flinched and quickly retreated to the leader’s side.
Anyway, the Hongryeon side’s forces were almost completely disintegrated and scattered, so there was no reason to attack any longer.
“What’s going on, Professor?”
“Something big is coming. You won’t be able to handle it.”
That moment.
Phew!!
In the distance, something red was flying in a long arc toward the front yard of the wild castle.
It looks like a red meteor.
Yeongsu summoned the knight, Jo Ha-seong.
“Jo Ha-seong, come forward! Shield up to maximum in front!!”
“yes!”
Ha-seong stepped forward in front of Yeong-su, holding his shield in front.
And the Paladin-only skill, , was activated.
Kiing!
A barrier of yellow light appeared in front of them.
And just as the shield was activated, something red settled on the ground.
No, actually, it would be more appropriate to say that it was driven down rather than settled down.
The moment it hit the ground, a red explosion went off and tore through the ground.
Kwaaaaang!!
A shock wave hit Youngsoo and his party.
Fortunately, the shockwave did not harm Youngsoo and his party because the shield had been activated in advance.
Still, there was no denying that the visual impact was significant.
The father asked Youngsu.
“…What is that? A meteor?”
“If that was a meteor, everyone but me would have died, Inma.”
The dust cleared, and soon the shape of the fallen object was revealed.
What was there was a round, huge lump.
The surface is smooth, the material is translucent, and the color is a vivid red.
But it had multiple surfaces, not just one.
As if several layers of flower petals were gathered together to form a round shape.
It was in the shape of a giant red lotus.
Red lotus, or Hongryeon.
Looking at it, Youngsoo muttered.
“… Right, there must be a reason they named the guild Hongryeon.”
Youngsu and his party quietly looked at the giant red lotus flower.
A moment later, the translucent flower petals spread out and a man walked out from within them.
A middle-aged man of tall stature, muscular build, and stubborn appearance.
And one who wears heavy metal gauntlets on both hands.
Youngsoo knew what the gauntlet was and who this person was.
Because Gapseok told me about it before.
“Hongmoojong, Master of the Hongryeon Guild.”
The cadets who heard Youngsoo’s words felt their hair stand on end.
“Master Hongryeon… … ?”
“A person like that here… … ?!”
It was natural to be nervous.
The player world is a world ruled by the strong.
If he was the master of the strongest guild in South Korea, it was obvious that he would be incredibly strong.
Mujong spoke to Yeongsu.
“The guy you’re talking about must be Professor Cheon Yeong-su of the KPA.”
“Huh? You know my name?”
“All the information circulating on this earth passes through Hongryeon.”
“Oh, really? But why didn’t I know this fact?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you touch where I am, you’re screwed.”
Ugh.
Mujong quietly ground his teeth.
“… Yeah, I guess that’s not a wrong statement. Since you even called me out.”
“It’s not that you came, it’s that only you could come?”
“what?”
“With all communications and transportation cut off right now, there must have been no way to quickly gather the remaining players of Hongryeon, right? Meanwhile, I was heartbroken to hear that half of the troops dispatched to the wild had disappeared. Isn’t that why you came here alone?”
“…You speak as if you knew the world would turn out this way.”
“Huh? You didn’t know? Why? You said all information goes through Hongryeon?”
As they listened to Young-soo’s words, which were scratching Master Hong-ryeon’s feelings, the cadets’ tension began to soar.
Because there was no benefit to be gained by scratching the insides of the strong.
But surprisingly, Mujong didn’t show much of a reaction.
“You’re trying to shake my spirits by saying all sorts of things.”
“I was just stating the truth.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. All KPA members, including you, will die here today.”
“That’s surprising. If I were you, I would have tried to scout me.”
“A fool like you is not welcome even by the Hongryeon side.”
“Hey.”
What is a bob cut?
I’m probably 20 years older than you.
While muttering to himself, Youngsoo gave instructions to the cadets over the phone.
‘Enter the building. Don’t come out until this fight is over.’
“But Professor, you alone… … that person.”
‘The moment you get involved in this fight, you’re doomed.’
The cadets quickly accepted Youngsoo’s words.
And then he immediately turned around and started running.
When Mujong saw that, he clenched his fists and prepared to rush in.
“Where… … !”
“Shut up. Your opponent is me.”
Yeongsu ran straight at him and swung his dagger.
Skill ‘Direct File Island’ activated.
Kaang!
Yeongsu’s dagger, Mujong’s gauntlets.
The two weapons clashed, creating a sharp clanging sound.
The reason Youngsoo launched a preemptive strike was simple.
Because I had no intention of sending King Mujong away after this.
Fight here, kill here, no matter what.
That was Youngsoo’s goal.
And in preparation for this situation, I received a lot of healing from Gapseok.
Kagagak… … !
The dagger and gauntlet clashed, sending sparks flying in all directions.
During this brief standoff, Youngsoo examined Mujong’s gauntlet.
‘also.’
When I saw it up close, it was clear.
The name of this gauntlet is .
A whopping 5 star item.
For reference, the and that Youngsoo had were 3-star grade.
It was a fraudulent weapon that was two levels higher than the weapon that Youngsoo had.
Nevertheless, Youngsoo charged forward without hesitation, holding a three-star dagger.
A pair of twin swords in his left hand.
A poisoned sword in his right hand.
Youngsoo’s sword began to dance.
Of course, Mujong had no intention of giving in easily.
“Red lotus, 20 leaves, blooming.”
Shh …
Twenty large red petals spread out like a shield.
The defensive power of those petals, which looked as fragile as glass plates, was formidable.
Because he was able to cleanly deflect all of the sword strikes of the rushing Youngsu.
“Is this it?”
“…joy.”
Gap-seok, who saw flower petals blooming from afar, began to sweat coldly.
‘No, it’s almost impossible to beat that human… …!’
It was understandable for Gapseok to think like this.
In the past, Gap-seok had watched Mu-jong fight right in front of his nose.
That is, he knew all too well the terrifying fighting power of Mujong.
‘In particular, the that the author is wearing is not compatible with Youngsoo at all… …!’
The special ability of Hongryeon’s armor is .
He could summon 100 red petals of different shapes and sizes and use them for attack and defense.
Even the durability of each of these petals is such that even a TNT explosion can easily chew them up.
Therefore, although the Hongryeon Gap did not bring victory, it was treated as a weapon that guaranteed certain undefeatedness.
That’s because the defensive power of Hongryeon’s armor was so amazing.
The Red Lotus Gauntlet is a weapon with an ironclad defense that leaves no room for weaknesses.
On the other hand, Youngsoo’s attacks are sharp and target vital points and weaknesses.
Because of this, the characteristic of Hongryeon’s armor that did not even reveal the weak point was no different from Yeongsu’s natural enemy.
And in reality, none of the conversion skills that Youngsoo poured out were able to penetrate the petals.
Direct file island.
One-point strike.
Double strike.
Projectile fire.
All these skills.
However, Youngsu did not stop his offensive.
Shhh!
Once again, Youngsoo’s attack flew in.
Break it! Break it!
A sword strike of extreme speed that cannot be traced with even the most basic eyesight.
But this too failed to break the red petals.
“That attack won’t even leave a scratch on you.”
“…Do you really think so?”
That’s fortunate, Youngsoo thought.
And this made me certain of one thing.
The author has no idea about the weaknesses of the weapons he uses.
