Login Psychopath - Chapter 168



Only Noblemtl

Episode 168.

[Changed to ‘Membership Only’.]

There were two membership-only features.

First, only those who have signed up for membership will be able to chat.

The second was that people who weren’t subscribed to the membership saw the video delayed by about three minutes.

Although not many viewers liked this because it gave up some of the benefits of real-time personal broadcasting… .

There was nothing I could do about it now.

Because the comment section was so chaotic.

-It’s been a while since I explored a dungeon.

-high.

-It got cleaned right away lol. Look at the clear results.

-When were these guys having fun killing other innocent rankers, and now they’re shutting their mouths? Lol.

-No, there’s one above… … .

-Just leave it alone.

Sure enough, the chat was instantly cleaned up.

There was one person left scratching strangely in the middle (this was Lee Shin), but compared to before, it was nothing.

Just by looking at it, it seemed like it was quickly pushed out by other, normal chats and went up.

‘good.’

Ian let out a sigh of relief and looked away from the screen.

Now, the chat room management will be handled by the guild user who has the broadcast manager, so he can just focus on the dungeon.

He turned on the status window and checked the party’s status.

“Status window.”

[Ian’s party.]

-Total: 30 people.

-Condition: Good.

A total of 30 people were dispatched to conquer this dungeon.

Among the top users, there was at least one wizard ranker.

Considering the strength of the guild, only a small number of people were dispatched, but Ian’s expression was still bright.

‘It’s leisurely.’

As the name suggests, is a dungeon with a high level of difficulty, but it is not the lowest level, and it is a mid-level dungeon, so this level is sufficient.

There are two rankers, too.

The composition was great, with one wizard and one priest.

“Let’s go.”

“yes.”

“I’ve already revealed the map, so let’s go straight to the 13th floor without wasting any time.”

“All right.”

[Enter the .]

The party entered the dungeon right away.

At the same time, a hot heat came over Ian.

As its name suggests, the high temperature of the was a characteristic of this dungeon.

[The temperature in the dungeon is high.]

[Status abnormality, …]

[Very high fire resistance!]

[You will not be affected by status effects.]

However, since most of them were high level and had already equipped items that increased fire resistance, there was no damage.

Even if the resistance was a little lacking, it could be sufficiently covered if Ian or other priests applied buffs.

Ian asked to confirm.

“Is there anyone with an abnormal status?”

“… … .”

“Okay. If not, let’s go right away.”

“yes!”

Thief profession users have come forward.

“Color.”

“Color.”

A blue ray of light extends out.

In this way, thief users go first to find monsters, and warrior users follow behind them.

The relatively weak priest, magician, and archer users moved slowly under the protection of the warrior users.

The guild shows the basics of party play!

The fact that such formations came out so naturally, as if breathing, without anyone giving specific instructions gave an idea of ​​the level of the guild.

Even if the formation was well-equipped, it would have been difficult to coordinate with this many people, but even this was well organized with Ian’s command at the center.

This was soon revealed.

-A group of monsters discovered ahead.

“How many?”

-About thirty. I’ll lure you.

Whispers from the thieving users who went ahead.

Ian gave immediate instructions.

“Wizards, prepare your spells. Warriors, prepare your defense. Archers, standby.”

“yes!”

Ian only says what is absolutely necessary.

Thanks to this, the party moved as if it were one body despite the large number of people.

“Wow!”

Hellhounds charging forward, screaming.

Warriors blocked their path.

“Hold on! Stop it!”

“‘Solid Rock!’, ‘Shield of Justice!’”

bang!

Whoosh whoosh!!

Sparks fly with shock.

However, thanks to the defense prepared in advance, the shock was almost absorbed by the skill, and the Hellhounds stopped moving.

The guild members did not miss this opportunity.

“Shoot!”

“Come out warriors! ‘Firestorm!’”

“Wind Blade!”

Boom! Kwakwakwakwak!!

Pouring magic!

Although the power and range were adjusted because it was inside a dungeon, the magical crossfire strengthened by the stats of high-level users was still powerful.

The bodies of the hellhounds that had been swept away by countless magics burst apart.

“…Kyaaaaak!”

“Come! Shoot!”

In the meantime, a few managed to break through the magical storm, but the waiting archers shot them down one by one.

[Enemy defeated.]

[Enemy defeated.]

[Enemy defeated.]

[Enemy…]

[I defeated the entire group of monsters!]

[Gain experience points.]

Thanks to that, the battle ended one-sidedly.

No, hunting.

There was no damage at all, except for a slight decrease in the health of the warriors who were attacked at the very front.

Even this was immediately restored by the priests, so there was virtually no damage despite fighting a fairly large group of monsters.

“Heal. Heal. Heal.”

[Restores the stamina of party members.]

[The party’s health is fully restored!]

Ian glanced down as he gave the warriors a heal.

As expected, the chat window was filled with praise.

-Wow, you’re really good.

-This is the number one guild… … .

-The connection is really creepy. Look at how perfectly it fits.

– So, through this connection, innocent users were killed like that too? Haha

The overall public opinion was not bad.

Of course, there were still people who scratched.

-Aren’t you tired? Stop it;;

-Anti-im above?

-I don’t know, what the f*ck, he’s been acting like that since he got the membership. I’ll remember his nickname.

Looking at other users’ reactions, it seemed like only that person was doing that.

Then you can ignore it.

‘That’s fortunate.’

The atmosphere was better than I thought!

Of course, since we set up a membership, we have to take into account that most of them are existing fans… .

On the other hand, it meant that existing fans were still attached, so it wasn’t something to be viewed only in a negative light.

guild broadcasts had a lot of overseas viewers due to the multinational nature of the guild, and they were quite tolerant of the guild’s scandals and controversies.

“……phew.”

“yes?”

“No, it’s nothing. Let’s keep going.”

“Oh, yes.”

Ian sighed in relief and continued to move forward.

I made sure that the atmosphere wasn’t bad, so I thought that all I had to do was finish the broadcast well.

… … That was when something strange happened.

-Ian? Ian!

“?”

An urgent whisper arrived from Hazel.

Just hearing his voice, I could tell that he was very embarrassed right now.

Ian asked.

“why?”

-I was monitoring your broadcast just now… Why are there 30 people in the party?

“… … ? There are 30 people, so it’s 30 people. What are you talking about?”

-No, I clearly said there were 34 people at first, right? The numbers are weird, where did the other 4 go? Count again! Something’s weird… … !

Hazel continues speaking, saying something is strange.

That was when.

……bang!

“… … Wait. What is it?”

Ian raised his head with a start.

A faint explosion sound was heard from far away, in the direction of the entrance.

It was faint, but considering how far away it was heard, it was a pretty big explosion.

Stop.

Ian’s steps stopped.

He also cut off the whisper, saying, “I’ll talk to you again later.”

Hazel looked anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

‘Inside the dungeon, an explosion?’

Given the location, the sound of the explosion wasn’t something I could just ignore.

This can result in excessive gathering of monsters, or in severe cases, changing the terrain of the dungeon.

So just now, the wizards were using magic by carefully controlling the output.

‘what?’

An explosion of this magnitude is most likely caused by magic or a bomb.

But it was already a large-scale magic spell that had just been cast.

There was no way that the next magic could happen right away without a cooldown.

‘then….’

Then it was a bomb.

Someone detonated a bomb.

“who is this?”

Ian opened his mouth to address his guild members.

Because if you had any common sense, it would be something you should never do.

In a confined space, inside a dungeon with so many monsters, such a loud explosion was tantamount to trolling.

Because that sound causes a large number of monsters to gather.

Of course, there are times when this is used for hunting… … .

At least there was no way to use it without telling Ian, the party host.

‘… … .’

Ian’s eyes sank.

This is a mistake that anyone can make at least once, but that wasn’t the case in .

, ranked 1st in the guild rankings, was not a guild that ‘anyone’ could join.

The point was that the standards were extremely high.

‘What kind of guy is… .’

So, what kind of guy made this mistake?

Ian turned around with the intention of paying close attention, but… .

All thoughts in my head evaporate at the shocking sight that follows.

Boom!

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!!!!

“… … What, what!?”

A chain of explosions!

The power was incomparable to that of before.

The small explosion just a moment ago was a huge explosion, as if to say that it was just a precursor to the storm that was to come.

“What happened….”

“Hey, get out of here first!”

A bright red flame covers the entrance to the dungeon you have already passed.

A huge amount of smoke was blown in by the wind generated by the belated explosion.

The users of the Shining Star Guild who were swept up in this covered their noses and sneered.

“Cough! Cough! … ​​… No, what is it!”

“Could it have been set off outside?”

“What kind of crazy guy is this…!”

Guild members grumble, asking who on earth could have made such a mistake.

No one yet suspected that it was the work of the enemy.

If it was natural, then it was natural.

Although they are currently experiencing friction with other large guilds, the level has not been that severe yet.

They’re exchanging PKs, but that’s it.

It wasn’t really a fight with the fate of either guild at stake.

Because we both had too much to lose to go that far.

But at this time.

Attacking the , which had originally been controlled by the Shining Star Guild, seemed like a real attempt to finish it off.

Thanks to that, everyone thought, ‘Is there really anyone who would do that?’

Ian was the same at first.

I was as indignant as the other party members.

“Who is this… , … … huh?”

But is he really a high ranker?

He was a little more perceptive than the other guild members.

‘uh?’

He soon came to his senses.

Something felt off.

‘No, wait.’

At first I thought it was a party member’s mistake.

But when I thought about it carefully, it seemed strange.

Is this really a mistake by our guild members?

Is this really trolling on a scale that ‘could happen accidentally’?

What causes an explosion that completely destroys the entrance to the dungeon?

… … That can’t be.

There is absolutely no way something like this could happen with that level of mistake.

What if someone hostile to the Shining Star Guild planned it?

‘ah!’

As Ian’s thoughts reached that point, they converged on one point.

He intuitively realized the situation he was in.

To my horror, this was an ambush.

‘who?’

Ian, who thinks quickly.

But unfortunately, the current has too many enemies.

Because there were so many people that came to mind, I couldn’t immediately identify the person.

‘… … .’

So what we need to think about now is not ‘who’ did this.

We had to figure out ‘why’ the enemy was doing this.

That way, we can deal with the next situation immediately.

‘Why did you have to do it in a dungeon?’

There must have been many other good places to raid.

If it was easier to escape after the attack, it would have been better to be outside… .

‘Is there a reason it has to be here?’

Ian gradually narrowed the scope by asking himself questions.

In the end, the reasons were narrowed down to two.

‘There is something you want inside the dungeon.’

‘Or someone at this party is the target.’

What that means is that the opponent, no matter what, is inside this dungeon.

Hazel’s urgent whisper earlier also supported Ian’s guess.

-Why 30 people?

-I clearly said there were 34 people… .

There were 34 people who gave it to me.

But the number that appeared in Ian’s status window was 30.

What this means is that the remaining four people who disappeared naturally joined the Shining Star Guild as if they were members, even though they were not originally members.

Ian’s face hardened.

‘… How did you do it?’
