Chapter 360
Obtaining a combat helicopter in Last was no easy feat.
The first and most orthodox method was to kill the boss.
The combat helicopter itself was a boss mob, occupying a position akin to the Mediator—the final boss.
If one had to compare them, the Mediator was the strongest and most troublesome boss.
The combat helicopter came next.
In other words, an attack helicopter.
The defining feature of an attack helicopter was that it carried weapons designed to attack targets.
The combat helicopter was the same.
Just as the Mediator would pull out a rocket launcher.
However, the firepower of the missiles mounted on the combat helicopter alone surpassed that of both the Mediator and the players’ rocket launchers.
Taking one down was extremely difficult.
The combat helicopter attacked from the sky, targeting players who possessed a specific item that drew its aggro.
There were five people aboard it.
If they wanted to farm the helicopter intact, they first had to kill the four armed passengers inside.
Then, they had to kill the pilot while arranging for the helicopter to land near the water.
If they blew up the helicopter’s main rotor or tail rotor, they could not farm the helicopter even after taking it down.
The same applied if the body sustained too much damage during the raid.
It was a troublesome process.
And once a team obtained a helicopter, the item that summoned the combat helicopter boss would no longer appear for that team.
Then how could they obtain three more helicopters?
They could buy them at the camp with coins.
No.
They could buy them with a tremendous number of coins.
That was how they had obtained all four.
[Damn! It must’ve cost a fortune! Why did we have to be the first ones?]
[Hit the pilot already, or it’ll get closer! It’s dropping! He’s dropping!]
[Hahahahaha!]
Raiding with helicopters was difficult, and the reason was simple.
The rooftops were prepared for it as well.
The turrets installed on the main base’s roof shouted that no one would be allowed to fly in from the sky and take everything for free.
These turrets could not be easily destroyed, and they turned anyone who landed on the roof into a pincushion.
But what if there were four helicopters? What if those four helicopters and their passengers focused solely on destroying the turrets?
Things became easy.
Of course, after that, they would have to land. What else could they do?
[Keep watch so they can’t come down! Fire!]
That was how things usually went.
But this time was different.
Breaking through a hail of gunfire, four helicopters crossed over their outer walls and approached the main base.
The helicopters had been fully upgraded as well.
It meant they had sold every rocket launcher and every gun they could get their hands on, but it could hardly be called a foolish choice.
Because of the man who would descend from that helicopter.
Fwoooosh!
The four helicopters spread out and fired missiles at the turrets.
The passengers provided covering fire against them.
Soon, roughly six explosions rang out. Then three of the helicopters changed direction, veering away from the direction they had come from and flying toward the camp.
[Don’t tell me those three are going to get repaired?]
[Hahahaha! So I’m not the only one left dumbfounded. They’re probably going to get some quick repairs and prepare for the next raid.]
[This is insane!]
[Everyone, get ready to snipe.]
Bear calmly issued orders to his teammates.
The last remaining helicopter took up position above the main base.
And then.
A tactical weapon—no, a man—fell from the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was a perfect opportunity. He was descending through the air, after all, and they fired calmly.
But holding two frying pans, he blocked the shots even in that situation and landed on the rooftop, where the automatic defense system had already disappeared.
Seojun waved to them one by one before heading downstairs.
Of course, while waving, he blocked every attack that flew toward him with his frying pans.
[That’s insane skill.]
[Phew, this is going to be a pain.]
[You know what? The remaining helicopters are leaving too! Hahaha! They’re just dropping that one guy off and leaving.]
[We’ll have to give up on the bedrooms. Let’s get into the main base and take down that bastard—the nuke, I mean.]
Wasn’t he far too conspicuous to be called a rat that had snuck into the house?
They descended from their respective towers.
Then they slowly gathered at the main base.
When they met on the first floor, they laughed as if they could hardly believe it.
But soon, as though they knew this would be a difficult fight, they silently exchanged glances before beginning to enter the tower.
* * *
- LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL this is the best
- Four helicopters just cleared the roof, dropped off the host, and went to get repaired. Legendary LOL
- The host only grabbed coins and expensive stuff while he was at it LOL Do you know what that means? He’s going to keep repairing them and make the full rounds for real LOL
- Emergency
- Ah LOL the strategy is way too perfect
To put it simply, the special forces’ headquarters was not reduced to ruins.
However, every resource in the main base was stolen.
More precisely, every item Seojun could not carry away was destroyed along with the grenades.
After killing them all, Seojun leisurely waited on the rooftop, boarded the helicopter that came to pick him up, and headed for his next target.
Those watching from outside were thrown into a panic.
They had to move their items and reinforce the rooftop defenses.
They also had to place sleeping bags outside.
The countermeasures were known.
The problem was time.
Moving the items alone was already a grueling task.
Except for the items hidden outside, they absolutely had to concentrate everything in one place.
The crate room was particularly difficult to enter.
What if they went in immediately and started working?
The amount of items was astronomical, since it was the final day.
It would have been one thing if Seojun had waited while the team members repeatedly went up and down to carry the items away, but he destroyed them without hesitation and immediately moved on to the next fortress.
This time, he did not say where he was going.
He even kept his view pointed at the ground so they could not see the helicopter’s direction.
- What are you doing? I’m talking to you participants watching the stream right now LOL Why aren’t you going inside already? LOL
- He’s ruthless. Absolutely ruthless.
- Seriously ruthless LOL
In the end, every team immediately began preparing.
It took Seojun no more than five minutes to land, win the fight, and destroy the items.
That’s right, only five minutes.
Seojun’s next target was the Hunter team, and only a few minutes had passed, so they had not been able to prepare properly.
- Tactical host LOL Deployment
- Wow! He knocked them away while falling again!
- But guys, why aren’t they waiting on the roof?
- If they bunch up on the roof, the helicopter will blow them all up LOL
- There’s no winning move here
The Hunter team managed to save a few valuable items, but ultimately lost most of what they had.
They had also made sleeping bags somewhere other than the main base, but they had not managed to move any weapons there, and in the end—
“Where are you going?”
—they ended up merely conversing with Seojun as they waited for the helicopter to arrive on the rooftop.
- LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL insane LOL
- Is this what the end-of-the-world vibe feels like?
- This is just fucking ridiculous LOL
“Where am I going? Probably the Raiders or the Slayers, I suppose.”
There was no problem giving the other ordinary teams time to respond, but those two teams were different.
“If I go too late, they might inflict critical damage on the helicopter, after all.”
When comments appeared in the chat saying that only the helicopter would take damage—that he clearly believed he himself would never fail—the leader of the Hunter team shook his head.
“Ah, that’s not what I meant.”
“Then what did you mean?”
“I was asking where you’re going in the next game.”
“Hahahahaha!”
Seojun burst out laughing when he heard that.
- Kyaa
- This really is the end-of-the-world vibe. So romantic!
- Did he admit defeat?
Seojun rose from his seat.
The helicopter was approaching with a ladder dangling from it.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to fight me?”
“You’re probably the most difficult prey to catch.”
It was the moment when one of the leaders of the world’s greatest Hunter team acknowledged Seojun.
“So you’re going to catch me?”
“So I have to. If possible.”
“Right. Then I’ll go discipline the Slayer team first. The two teams might come after you.”
“Don’t come back.”
As Seojun climbed aboard the helicopter and disappeared, the Hunter team leader issued an order to his teammates.
[What do we do now?]
“Want to go out and watch the stream?”
* * *
As he had said, Seojun went to the Slayer team’s fortress.
They had lost the previous day’s battle, so they were in no condition to mount a proper counterattack against Seojun.
Next were the Raiders.
Having had the most time to prepare, they were able to properly set up sleeping bags and armed items outside their main base. They challenged Seojun twice more, but lost all three battles.
The chat filled with countless comments saying that this made their defeat even more humiliating.
Even so, the Raiders’ excellent sniper managed to destroy one helicopter, but Seojun immediately pulled out a sniper rifle and taught him a proper lesson. It was one of the most memorable scenes of the match.
Cleaning up the ordinary teams with the remaining helicopters proceeded very smoothly.
By then, they had managed to move a certain amount of their items, so Seojun began dismantling the teams one by one with certainty.
Perhaps it was because everything ended too quickly.
- Seriously, nobody can stop him LOL
- Is the Mediator really all that special?
- You have acquired the title: Guide to the Stone Age
- You’re only getting that title now? LOL
The last team he visited was Ha Yunho’s team.
There was still one team left, but he avoided them because most of their members would not be able to log in for another two hours.
And so—
“There aren’t any turrets, Host?”
[Indeed. What are we supposed to shoot?]
[Everyone on the team is on the roof. If we fire now, I think we’ll kill all of them.]
“We can’t do that. Just head up there. I’ll fall the same way. Joam.”
“Yes.”
Seojun smirked and jumped.
The fall damage was almost nonexistent.
That was thanks to a Tier 4 item called Spring Shoes, which reduced fall damage.
After putting away his frying pans and landing, Seojun immediately looked for Ha Yunho.
“Hello.”
“Seojun!”
“Yes.”
“It is an infinite honor that you chose our team for the finale—”
- LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL
- Why does Yunho’s image look so unbelievably pathetic? LOLLLLLLLLL
- Ah LOL
“We moved all the crates to just below the rooftop as well.”
“No, that…”
This time, Seojun was the one taken aback.
“Yes? What is it, Seojun?”
“Don’t your team members object?”
Seojun glanced at the teammates beside him.
Perhaps Ha Yunho was the first person ever to make Seojun worry about what others thought.
“No!”
“We’re happy too!”
“We’re all part of the same family, aren’t we? Hahaha!”
“Right… Points. Yes.”
Seojun looked around and realized something.
Most of the people here were Points’ president and Points’ members.
“That’s right! For the sake of our company’s streamer, giving up a few items like this is nothing.”
“Our wishes perfectly align with the president’s.”
“I see… Understood. Please move aside.”
Seojun went downstairs.
Soon, a single explosion rang out.
Boom!
It was the sound of a crate being smashed.
“……”
“……”
“Wow, he still destroys everything even when we do this. He’s really ruthless.”
“We can still win even after this, right?”
“We don’t know yet.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of explosions rang out as the item blocks that had emerged from the shattered crates were destroyed.
* * *
After sweeping through Last on its final day, Seojun told his teammates to do whatever they wanted and logged off to rest.
A few hours later, he turned the stream back on, finally raided the one remaining team as well, and disappeared.
More time passed, and when Last’s server shut down, the final achievement list was revealed.
[LOLLLLLLLLLLLL]
