Login Psychopath - Chapter 140



Only Noblemtl

Episode 140.

There were two main types of looter players.

There are some players who are openly predators, like Isin.

There were also some who were a bit more benevolent, but could turn into marauding players at any time.

Of course, the former case was overwhelmingly more dangerous, but conversely, the latter case was much more numerous.

This tendency was especially strong in the Kingdom of Eton, where PKs were almost a daily occurrence.

Even good users would fight against other predatory players, and at some point they would start to resemble them.

“Should I kill him?”

These belonged to the latter.

If this god had been a bit wild, we could have had a fair competition for public service… .

This is because the hunting speed was so fast that there was no way to reverse the rankings using normal methods.

In such cases, the most certain way was to eliminate the competitor altogether.

“That’s true.”

The other party members all agreed with this.

There was no one who felt particularly uncomfortable with the idea of ​​openly committing PK.

This was because everyone was already familiar with this.

However, there were some parts that took some getting used to.

When I actually thought about how to do PK, the estimate didn’t come out very well.

This was due to the incredible power of Isin.

“But will it work?”

“huh?”

“He’s so strong… … .”

PK is the most reliable method, but it also carries some risk.

If you get hit in return by your opponent, you will suffer a huge loss rather than gain anything.

Not only will the quest you are currently working on disappear, but you will also receive various death penalties.

That means, if you pick a fight, you have to win… .

“I don’t think we can guarantee that we’ll win….”

“… … That’s true.”

“Even if we win, wouldn’t a few people die?”

There was no one to refute it.

Because the opponent was a thief type user with incredible physical strength.

If you let your guard down, one or two, or maybe even more, could melt in the blink of an eye.

Of course, if someone were to take the risk and draw Isin’s attention, he could be caught with minimal damage… .

“… … Hmm.”

“It is dangerous… … .”

Users who are just looking out for each other!

There was no such loyalty between them in the first place.

They were just working together out of necessity, and there was no deep sense of belonging to the party.

“Then shall we stop?”

“… … .”

“Or how about this?”

Thanks to that, the conversation was about to end vaguely.

Someone suggested another way.

“I’m targeting him last.”

“Huh?”

“Think about it. Honestly, the rest of it wasn’t that great. It was just that he was exceptionally strong. Wasn’t he?”

“… … That’s true.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be better to catch the rest and then go after him? What would he do if he pushed forward with his numbers?”

It was common sense that no matter how strong a user was, they were helpless in the face of multiple attacks.

This was especially true for close-quarters glass cannon style jobs like Isin.

“If we can surround them well and shoot them, won’t we win?”

“huh?”

“……uh?”

It was an opinion that could be expressed because, although he had no sense of belonging to the party, he had extensive PK experience.

It was only a matter of time before the expressions of the other users who had been half-listening became serious.

Because it was a more plausible plan than I thought.

Of course, there were some misunderstandings.

“Even that guy. His skills seem to be more specialized for hunting than single-person combat for a thief.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. They’re probably at a similar level to us to begin with, but no matter how good their controls are, how can they hunt that fast? They must have acquired a skill specialized for hunting.”

“Is there such a thief?”

“What job isn’t in Avala Online? There might be one.”

“Oh, is that so?”

…the logic itself was good, but it was not true.

It’s true that Serial Killing is a skill specialized for hunting, but the rest were not.

Rather, most of Isin’s skills were specialized in single-target burst damage and stealth.

Or maybe it’s self-destruction (a mark of evil, a sign of doom, etc.).

It is set to match the characteristics of the profession called Murder!

Of course, since other users couldn’t know this fact, they instantly became confident.

“It seems like it might work…?”

“I know.”

“But how can we fight separately? How can we lure them without getting caught?”

“That’s not difficult. When I saw them during the subjugation, they were originally fighting separately. If you leave them alone, they’ll fall on their own.”

“Oh, really?”

“Uh. I think it’s probably a merger of two different parties.”

It was a situation that made me laugh in many ways.

A strange smile appeared on the users’ lips.

“Hmm, then… … .”

“Should I really kill you?”

“…Let’s kill him!”

Opinions were quickly agreed upon.

The detailed implementation plan was the same.

“When will I kill you?”

“I don’t think we’ll have to wait long. It’s almost time for the quest to end. If we delay too much, neither one will do anything.”

“Right. Then let’s move right away during the next expedition.”

“…Okay, then we’ll just pretend to fight for a bit, and once he’s gone, we’ll deal with the guys left behind.”

… but they didn’t know.

From far away, Isin was looking at them with a strange gaze.

* * *

‘I’ll be moving soon.’

When it comes to PK, Isin is more of an expert than anyone else in Avala Online.

Just by looking at the opponent’s mood, Isin could tell whether they would commit a PK or not.

However, since it is quiet now, it seems like they are planning to take advantage of the confusion when the subjugation begins.

‘Then I won’t be the first target.’

If they were fairly experienced looter players, they wouldn’t have targeted you in the first place.

He’ll first eliminate the other party members in the rear, and then everyone will attack him together to target him.

‘… … .’

Lee Shin just thought he would give in.

I was going to kill the party members later anyway, so it didn’t matter if I killed them myself or at the hands of others.

Then, I didn’t mind targeting myself either, because I thought that given the circumstances, it would happen someday.

The problem was Jung Yu-ra… .

‘I put Gilaim on it, but… wouldn’t it be better to make sure?’

Lee Shin whispered to Jeong Yu-ra.

Next time you go on a raid, just give him some buffs and then run away with Gilaim.

The answer came right away.

-What? Why?

-If you don’t like it, then just say it.

-… … No, why are you asking that! I need to know what the situation is!

-I told you, who’s going to target us?

-Huh? Oh, that’s right… … .

Jeong Yu-ra nodded as she belatedly recalled her memories.

Certainly, the instruction to get out early was perfectly reasonable, as she would be of no help in a PK situation.

but.

There was one catch.

-But what about other people?

-Who else?

-Our party members.

-I’m going to die. But why is that?

-… …Why!? It’s because you’re pitiful!

-So I’ll take revenge.

-Revenge… . No, right… … .

It was Jeong Yu-ra who answered weakly.

“Everyone stop!”

The soldiers and users stopped walking at Walter’s shout.

After receiving the report from the cavalrymen who had gone out on reconnaissance earlier, Walter continued his story.

“We’ve discovered a monster village ahead. It’s not far away, so we’ll destroy them without rest.”

“And then, we will finish this expedition and return.”

In other words, it was the final expedition.

At this, the users’ expressions became serious.

In fact, this expedition was the last chance to maintain or even reverse the ranking of public service.

And there were times when the atmosphere became serious, even murderous.

The second-ranked party in terms of current public service rating.

These were users preparing for Isin’s PK.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Nod.

They locked eyes with each other and naturally approached Isin’s party.

The expedition began, and as soon as Isin disappeared, they were to be attacked.

Of course, Isin noticed their impure approach… .

“Wow, it’s the last one already?”

“That’s right. I had a feeling it wouldn’t happen, but if we keep going like this, we’ll really end up in first place.”

“It’s all thanks to Mr. Arthur… .”

“Haha, no.”

I didn’t necessarily say anything.

Instead, he just gave a sneaky hint to Gil Ra-im and Jeong Yu-ra.

* * *

Yishin went straight into the subjugation without rest.

“attack!”

[Have the title, .]

[Your title effect increases the health of all raid members by 10%.]

[Also grants a chance for the wizards’ attacks to be critical hits.]

bang!

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!

“Buff me!”

“‘Solid strength!’, ‘Powerful stamina recovery spell!’ That’s it!”

A carpet bombing of pouring wizards.

Warriors charging while receiving buffs from the priests.

And even the melee dealers who are safely approaching, mixed in between them.

“Kill him!”

“This is the last one!”

“Profit?!”

[Surprise attack succeeds!]

[The orc horde falls into confusion…]

Charge after a surprise attack.

The nature of the battle was similar to previous expeditions.

As such, as has always been the case, the odds have been in the users’ favor as time has passed.

Since the process hasn’t changed, the results are similar!

but.

[A party member has died.]

[A party member has died.]

[A party member has died.]

“… … .”

Not everything was the same.

A message of death from a party member flew in during the confusion.

Soon, all party members except Jeong Yu-ra died.

‘… It’s over there.’

After glancing back.

When Isin realized that the other person was looking at him, he deliberately left the monster village and headed to a place where there were no other users.

* * *

“What, it’s moving?”

“Where are you going?”

The god leaves his hunting grounds.

Users watching from the hill tilted their heads.

But soon after, he gets startled and gets up from his seat.

“… … No, did you notice?! Is that why you’re running away!!?”

“…omg!”

“Catch me quickly!”

“I’ll write you a transfer order!”

[Use Advanced Movement Speed ​​Scroll.]

[The power of the wind temporarily infuses your body.]

This is the last expedition, so if I miss it now, there will be no more chances.

Thanks to this, users were moving around in a hurry, even tearing up order forms that they normally wouldn’t use.

However, I was able to catch up easily without having to rush anything.

Because the opponent didn’t run away from the beginning.

“Are you here?”

“……hmm?”

A person who stands still in a dark place and speaks as if he had been waiting for you.

A question mark appeared on the foreheads of the users who followed.

…Why didn’t you run away?

‘????’

‘what…?’

… … And it didn’t take long for that question mark to turn into an exclamation point.

* * *

Sigh.

[Party member dies.]

[Current Party Members: 1]

“… … What, what is it?”

It wasn’t a trap or an ulterior motive.

It was just confidence.

The opponent was just plain strong.

It wasn’t a problem with huge differences in stats or equipment.

I just couldn’t hit the attack.

On the contrary, the opponent’s attacks were clearly aimed at only the vital points as if they were attached to some kind of magnet.

Thanks to that, I was swayed around like crazy.

When he finally came to his senses, everyone except himself was already dead.

‘This crazy… … who the hell is this!?’

“You’re the last one?”

“… … !!”

While I was inwardly shocked, my opponent approached me while spinning his sword.

Even though he fought seven alone and killed six of them, he didn’t seem to be having any trouble.

Rather than being difficult, he had a smile on his face as if he was having fun…

… … …

… …

…

“……uh?”

“huh?”

“You, you…! Are you really that Arthur!?!?”

“!!!”

The opponent shouts in shock as if he realized something and jumps up.

Startled by this, Isin reflexively swung his sword.

Sigh.

“ah.”

And that was the end of it.

Because I was already in a situation where my stamina was very low.

Even though it was just a light attack, the opponent died immediately.

“… … .”

Yishin’s expression changed strangely.

Obviously, I asked, ‘Is that Arthur?’

‘… Have you seen my channel?’

This was bound to happen someday.

The channel was becoming more and more popular, and I was lucky enough to have a connection with a famous broadcaster.

Of course, even taking that into account, people who recognized me showed up sooner than I thought… .

‘That’s a good thing.’

It means that the growth rate of awareness is steep, so there is nothing to think of as a bad thing.

… … However, the problem was the resentment that this god scattered here and there.

Although Isin did not realize it yet, the time when he would face the disaster he had caused was drawing near.

* * *

[Email has arrived.]

[I know Arthur’s location. (Image attached) Send me the case fee and I will send you the location right away.]

bang!

‘… … Found it!!!’

After reading the email to the end, Yoo Han-seong immediately slammed his fist on the table and let out a silent cheer.

It was a bit disappointing that it wasn’t the Lee Si-eun I had been looking for, but Arthur wasn’t bad either.

In any case, both of them are sworn enemies of the Five Star Guild.

‘good.’

-I’ll send you the deposit right away!

-Can you tell me the location?

Yoo Han-seong, who had sent the reply, kicked open the guild house door and shouted.

“Mr. Woojin!”

“yes?”

“Let’s go! I found one!”

“… … !!!!”
