Chapter 355
-What a crazy bastard, deliberately announcing that he cameㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-He’s that confident, huh?ㅋㅋ
-Hmm, but this isn’t some kind of league history book, and it’s Last, where you die if you get hit by a single bullet wrong
-Ah, damn newcomers!
-Even if they aren’t newcomers, fans who just joined can be like that
Boom!
The grenade exploded, and Seojun deliberately let the blast reverberate through the building, putting everyone above on edge before he began heading upward.
There was a frying pan in each of Seojun’s hands. He successfully made it to the second floor.
The moment one had to be most careful when going up was the instant of entering the stairs.
Once he had safely made it inside, all he had to do was hunt down anyone who hadn’t taken up a position.
Hup.
After reaching the second floor, Seojun moved without delay. Toward where he heard the sound.
There was no time to hesitate.
If he delayed here, the enemies above would come down.
He had to deal with them first.
The main base—the tower—did not have a simple layout.
Rather than creating empty spaces to make it easy to stop enemies coming up, the entrances to several interconnected rooms were arranged to face the stairs.
Seojun immediately entered the room where he had faintly heard a sound, and an enemy hiding beside the left side of the door fired his gun.
He had prepared himself because of the explosion on the first floor.
Bang!
But the bullet struck the ceiling.
The moment Seojun entered the room, he turned right and knocked the gun barrel away with his foot.
Then Seojun rotated his arm and summoned his inventory.
Sweep.
It referred to the technique of instantly opening the inventory precisely where one’s hand was moving, allowing for a rapid weapon change.
Click!
The frying pan in Seojun’s left hand changed into a P92 in an instant.
The pistol, loaded with fifteen rounds, aimed at the opponent’s brow.
“Either way, getting hit here is a one-shot kill, right?”
Bang!
One person died.
Then another player entered the room by the narrowest margin, and the moment he turned his head after stepping inside—
Seojun was aiming at his brow from the position where the player who had just died had attacked.
The player who had entered this time lacked the skill to knock Seojun’s gun away with his foot using such quick reflexes.
Seojun, meanwhile, was an expert who didn’t wait to see the trigger and then pull it. He fired a predictive shot timed to the instant the enemy entered.
And so—
Bang!
As he walked straight past the second user, who collapsed with his eyes wide open, Seojun announced,
“Thirteen bullets left, thirteen enemies left. I won’t reload.”
And Seojun smiled like that as—
Whoosh.
He climbed the stairs holding two frying pans.
Seojun cleaned out the second floor in an instant.
Less than thirty seconds had passed since the explosion on the first floor.
-??? What was that?
-Is this what a veteran looks like????
-Was it always this easy?
-But what was that Sweep speedㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Following Seojun’s will, the inventory appeared and disappeared in an instant.
Within tiny frames that could be missed in the blink of an eye.
By then, the weapon in Seojun’s hand had already changed.
He entered the third floor without any trouble as well.
However, the moment he entered, he locked eyes with an enemy who emerged from the third room from the left.
There was no time to think about which team the enemy belonged to or what habits they had.
Seojun entered the first room on the left, then moved straight through to the second room without stopping.
The rooms were connected by doors as well, and without giving the enemy time to prepare, he moved on to the third room.
Bang bang bang bang!
The first shot was late by Seojun’s standards.
The enemy should have fired the moment the door opened.
Because of that delay, Seojun was able to approach while blocking every round from the automatic weapon with his frying pan.
It took four shots.
The moment he got close, he dropped the hole-riddled frying pan in his right hand, grabbed the enemy’s gun barrel and lifted it, then moved his left hand toward the enemy’s brow and performed a Sweep.
Whoosh.
Then he pulled the trigger.
Bang!
-Wow
-That’s insane
-No, is there really a way to subdue someone like that?
-There is. When teasing cavemen
-Normally, one mistake and you’d get turned into a sieve. How does he do that?
-Is this the power of frying pans?
-So far, he’s only lost one frying pan, and the host still has sixteen moreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Twelve.”
At the same time, two people rushed in.
One through the door connected to the hallway, and one through the door on the left.
“Die!”
“Finally here, huh!”
Ratatatatata!
But as if he had expected exactly that, Seojun killed the enemy who came through the door on the left as he entered and shut the door.
It was the fourth room from the left.
“Eleven.”
He died anticlimactically.
The moment of entering was always the most dangerous.
That was also why Seojun’s team had managed to hold out for so long.
A brief silence descended.
Seojun neither attacked nor moved.
The enemy did not fire either.
He could sense the enemy beyond the door holding his breath, ears perked up, tense and alert.
Seojun gave a faint laugh, and when five seconds had passed, he turned the doorknob.
Click.
Then he kicked the door open and entered.
“Just die already!”
The enemy fired at Seojun’s head from the position he had expected, but Seojun merely raised his frying pan lightly.
The three-second burst ended, and the gun fell silent.
Seojun tossed aside another frying pan that was on the verge of being pierced, raised his arm, and said,
“Ten.”
Bang!
The enemy twisted his body, trying somehow to avoid getting shot in the head, but was hit by the bullet and collapsed.
Seojun gave a faint laugh, went out into the hallway, and waited there quietly.
-Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s ridiculous
-Niceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This all happened in under two minutes?
-Seriously, this is completely broken
-Third floor cleared!!
The enemies who had just died would not be able to respawn at the fourth outpost.
Rich Guy and Shut Up and Play had decided to stall for time at the entrance.
Armed Baek Doyul would arrive soon as well.
The reason Seojun had not destroyed it was simple. He wanted the Hunter Team to choose to respawn there, just in case.
They couldn’t give up and go defend their own base, after all.
“They’re not coming down.”
Seojun, watching the stairs, let out a cackling laugh.
“I suppose it’s difficult to rush into enemies who are prepared. It’s all because I don’t have any more frying pans.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-At this point, I think we have to admit it?
-But it happened so fast that I don’t even know what’s going on
-If everyone could do what the host does just by holding a frying pan, they wouldㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, is this the dignity of Tier 4?
Seojun slowly closed and opened his eyes.
“Looking at the people who just died, there weren’t any team leaders among them. It seemed to be mostly Raiders and members of the Hunter Team, though?”
-Info: The Hunter Team’s leader was killed on the second floor right from the start
-That’s hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-He immediately gave up, respawned at his base, and shook his head, but the host caught himㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Seojun gave a dismissive little laugh and said,
“Anyway, they should be prepared by now, right? In that case, I’ll start taking this seriously too. Is there a special-forces team upstairs?”
Whoosh.
After the Sweep, the item in Seojun’s left hand instead of a frying pan was a flashbang.
“But this is easier than I expected, isn’t it?”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What a lunatic
-If he clears it in under two minutes, he’s allowed to say it’s easy
-It’s different upstairs... I’m telling you, it’s different...
-They’re fully prepared upstairs, but I feel like they’re just going to get crushed now
-There’s no way this guy isn’t deliberately playing his absolute hardest
-Ah, you ordinary people!!!!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The ordinary people who played Last back when the host didn’t exist!!!!
* * *
[Wow...]
[No....]
[Oh......]
[Hmm....]
The overseas Last community.
This was exactly two minutes ago.
Only two minutes earlier, all kinds of opinions had been exchanged.
But not anymore.
[He says it’s easier than expected?]
==
Hahahahaha. Does that make any sense?
Does it really?
==
-The game is obviously malfunctioning somehow
-What are the Raiders doing?
-The Hunter Team and Slayer Team are one thing, and I don’t care about them, but the Raiders were the best individual players. It’s a team made up of those individuals.
└If you watch the Raiders’ videos, it’s actually the exact opposite. Of course, there are videos of them quickly raiding the official server with guns...
└Are you saying the difference in skill is really that huge?
[Yeah.]
==
You’re saying the difference in skill is that hugeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
You think you can go toe-to-toe with the owner of the History Book?
The host was the most dominant player in the History Book, where the best players from the most-played game in the world gathered, you know?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
==
The fourth floor.
They achieved the feat of successfully hitting Seojun twice while he was holding a frying pan along with a flashbang, but they were all subdued.
[The good news is that the Special Forces team has taken up perfect positions on the fifth floor]
==
They’ll protect our pride!
==
-We don’t know yet!
└I’m all for it, but why is the Special Forces team responsible for protecting your pride? They aren’t even former Last players, are they?
└Shut up
└Stop with the facts
-Are you all losing your minds together?
The fifth floor.
It was not the top floor.
There was a sixth floor, as well as a seventh floor that was half-rooftop.
However, they had all taken their final positions on the fifth floor because the sixth floor had sleeping bags installed, making it a wide-open space that allowed for easy movement.
More importantly, as the final line of defense before the bedrooms, the floor’s layout was far more advantageous for defense.
It was impossible to go directly from the fifth floor to the sixth.
The stairs leading to the sixth floor were on the opposite side from the stairs used to reach the fifth floor, meaning one had to cross the hallway.
The space was also wider than on the lower floors, and cover had been installed.
-Let’s trust the Special Forces!
-Either way, it’s over if that guy dies! There’s still a chance he can become an ordinary player!
-Why shouldn’t our pride depend on the actual Special Forces? I’m cheering for them!
-You really have lost it, hahaha
For now, six people were aiming toward the stairs where Seojun would come up, and they were all on the same team.
While searching each floor, they had been attacked, resulting in the people already on that floor fighting back as they were.
They were searching the sixth and seventh floors.
So communication between them was smooth.
And they were prepared.
It seemed there was still a spark of hope left to turn Seojun into an ordinary player.
* * *
“Should I go up?”
There were six bullets left in his magazine.
In other words, six people were preparing for him at that moment.
“They don’t seem to have any intention of coming down. You know, right? My teammates are on their way here.”
What if Seojun looted the bodies he had left behind, armed himself, and swept away the enemies above?
“Of course, if that happens, the enemies who spawned at the fourth outpost will come back, which would have the disadvantage of turning this into a long battle.”
Even Baek Doyul had been unable to destroy the outpost yet.
In that case—
“I suppose I have to go up after all.”
It would be troublesome, but—
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Seojun took out a smoke grenade and threw it toward the fifth floor.
Ratatatatata!
Boom!
The smoke grenade was precisely focused down by gunfire.
If it had been a regular grenade, that would have been effective, but with a smoke grenade, shooting it like that merely caused it to activate sooner.
“Fire!”
The moment there was any sign that Seojun was coming up, they began firing their guns like mad.
There was no answer to this.
Meanwhile, Seojun’s body and field of vision, already halfway up the stairs, disappeared into the smoke, and the enemies were enveloped as well.
When everything on the viewers’ screens grew blurry, Seojun climbed up.
Then countless noises began assaulting the viewers all at once.
The sound of guns firing in torrents.
The sound of bullets repeatedly striking metal.
And Seojun’s footsteps, along with the enemies’ shouts.
“He’s up! Fire more!”
Clang!
In between it all, the clear sound of a Sweep—
Click.
And a single gunshot were enough to send chills down everyone’s spines.
Bang!
Within the smoke, where only nearby objects were visible in a blur, people began collapsing one after another.
Bang!
The host’s spectator view was just as incapable of properly showing the situation.
So the moment the battle ended, countless people began analyzing the footage alongside Seojun’s point of view and the spectator view.
Most of them failed to analyze it.
How, exactly, had Seojun managed to do it before the smoke had even cleared?
“Hmm? When did they all die?”
Had he taken out the entire Special Forces team?
-Huh? “When did they all die?”ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Hostㅋㅋㅋ Who else besides you would possibly know when they all died?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
