The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 125

Episode 125

Wow! visor!

Sword and sword clashed and sparks flew.

The scene where swords collide several times a second presented a splendor and excitement that could not be found in reality.

The flashy movements and intense and fast sword movements made possible by Connect definitely caught people’s attention.

The only problem is that those flashy and powerful movements are not effective.

visor!

‘damn. Why on earth isn’t it breaking through?’

Wang Cheon-myeong used most of his skills and sword skills to attack Bae Do-hyeon, but it had no effect at all.

Bae Do-hyun not only did not deviate from the circle drawn on the floor as he had declared, but he also did not move a single step since the start of the confrontation.

Hiss!

Even when a sword is stabbed from behind Bae Do-hyeon, he blocks it by extending the sword over his shoulder without turning his body.

At first, Wang Cheonmyeong was angry at what he thought was Manyong, but a look of boredom slowly appeared on Wang Cheonmyeong’s face.

I’ve dealt with many players so far, but this is the first time I’ve been unable to find an answer like this.

“Whoa.”

For the first time since the finals began, the attack and defense stopped.

Wang Tianming widened the distance for a moment and caught his breath.

‘As expected, he doesn’t follow me.’

Because it was the final, there was no time limit for the game, and because Bae Do-hyun made his own pledge, Wang Cheon-myeong was able to take a breather without any hesitation.

But I couldn’t just waste time. Since it’s being broadcast live around the world, I can’t show an unsightly appearance.

‘I’m angry, but there’s no chance of winning like this. Should we change the method a little first?’

People think he only knows how to use a sword, but in reality, he has used a variety of weapons on Connect.

Wang Tianming put away his sword and took out the bow and arrows from his inventory.

Piung!

When the arrow was fired, Bae Do-hyeon slightly turned his body to avoid it.

‘okay. I thought I would avoid that much.’

But can you keep avoiding it?

As Bae Do-hyun had placed restrictions on himself, the space for Bae Do-hyun to escape was limited to a small circle.

Wang Tianming began firing arrows in succession.

The arrow flying at a distance of only 10 meters was extremely threatening and seemed as if it would pierce Bae Do-hyeon’s body at any moment. But…

ting. visor!

‘Are we going to block and avoid all of this? Does that make sense?’

Even in real life, Wang Cheonmyeong’s rapid fire skills, which he had practiced in archery, were at a fairly usable level.

I was able to fire about one shot every three seconds while slightly shifting my position.

The power and accuracy were not bad, so much so that it was possible to hunt without a sword in beginner hunting grounds.

But it was no use. I shot until both quivers were empty, but I couldn’t even touch Bae Do-hyeon’s hair.

“Profit…”

Still, it was at that time when Wang Cheonmyeong, who had a bad feeling, took out the third quiver of arrows.

Shuung pakak!

The bow he was holding was broken in half by Bae Do-hyeon’s flying arrow.

And then two arrows flew in succession and passed between his armpits.

Hwiiing.

A chilling wind seeped in through the hole in his shirt where the arrow shaft had grazed, and a chill ran down Wang Cheonmyeong’s spine.

This is because Bae Do-hyeon, who was aiming his bow at him, was glaring at him with cold eyes.

‘Are you saying you’re better at archery?’

Although he was furious, Wang Cheonmyeong quietly put down the broken bow and drew his sword again. Then Bae Do-hyeon also put the bow into his inventory.

Wang Tianming bit his lip in exasperation. I never thought there would be such a difference in skill.

Bae Do-hyun had a leisurely expression the whole time, as if telling him to do whatever he could.

‘Let’s see how long you can make that look!’

Wang Tianming eventually decided to use his secret move.

Through the preliminaries and tournaments, Bae Do-hyun’s skills and characteristics had been analyzed to some extent.

His trait is probably telekinesis. There was nothing strange about telekinesis since it was a skill that could not be obtained through skills.

And the skills were roughly categorized into three: general-purpose weapon-related skills, telekinesis, and lastly, short-distance movement.

‘A common argument among analysts was that the superpower series did not have much power in the beginning.’

In reality, Bae Do-hyeon’s telekinesis could not be considered very powerful. His sense of using it in the right way in various situations is just amazing.

And although general-purpose weapon skills are helpful in using a variety of weapons, it has been proven that the skill itself is less powerful.

Although short-distance mobility was very threatening in a short-term decisive battle, it was okay to not worry about it as long as Bae Do-hyun set restrictions on himself.

‘So you’ll never get this.’

His characteristic, Swordsmanship (S-), goes beyond the realm of swordsmanship and allows him to use ‘mana’ in this world.

Wang Tianming tightly grasped the hilt of his sword and activated the characteristic skill [Ki Sword (氣檢)].

Ugh.

The abundant mana energy that fills the inside of the sword is transmitted to Wang Cheonmyeong through the sword hilt.

His slightly blue sword flew towards Bae Do-hyeon with a sharp force as if he was about to end the game.

“It’s over!”

Wang Tianming shouted in a confident voice.

The technique called the Mana Sword here was a deceptive skill that could cut through ordinary weapons in an instant. If you couldn’t store mana in your weapon, you could never block this attack.

However, Wang Tianming’s confidence faded away in an instant, like the air in a balloon.

visor. visor!

‘uh? ‘Huh?’

There is clearly a blue haze of mana on his sword, but why is Bae Do-hyeon’s sword intact?

In the first place, when the energy sword is activated, the sword’s power increases several times, so how can it be received so calmly?

Wang Cheon-myeong unconsciously continued his attack with a puzzled expression, but since his secret technique (?) was blocked, the game was virtually decided.

And the consequences of not being able to concentrate on the confrontation were fatal.

Hissing whirling.

Bae Do-hyeon’s thrown string-tied raincoat wrapped around Wang Cheon-myeong’s left ankle and dragged him inside the circle.

“What!”

Wang Cheon-myeong belatedly tried to hold on, but he had already lost his balance and was dragged right in front of Bae Do-hyeon.

Jangkang!

When Bae Do-hyeon raised his sword, Wang Cheon-myeong’s grip was torn by a force he had never felt before, and the sword flew away.

“Does the Volcano Sect also teach martial arts?”

Bae Do-hyeon asked calmly and threw his sword to the side.

‘Now that I think about it, martial arts is really… kkeok!’

Wang Tianming didn’t even get a chance to answer.

Bae Do-hyeon’s outstretched fist coolly hit him in the face, and Wang Cheon-myeong was beaten senselessly by the subsequent punches and foot attacks.

Wang Tianming, who covered his face with both arms, tried to somehow widen the distance and run away, but it was impossible because his ankles were tied.

“Ha ha…”

Unable to bear the pain, he tried to shout out surrender, but Bae Do-hyeon was cruel.

‘Where are you now?’

Are you saying that you just attack with excitement and then surrender after getting hit by a few hits?

Bae Do-hyeon was not a very gentle person.

Patter, patter, patter.

In the end, Wang Tianming was beaten until he lost consciousness, and it wasn’t enough that he was beaten to death.

Bae Do-hyun thought that due to the nature of the starting city where one can be resurrected without penalty, it is better to die cleanly and come back to life than to live in an awkward manner.

‘Well, since I beat him up like this, I’m sure he’ll talk less nonsense the next time we meet.’

Strong self-respect.

Isn’t this a word that appears often in martial arts magazines?

I hoped that Wang Cheon-myeong realized that if he carelessly spoke out with his own faint sense of justice, he could be robbed too.

The final ended with Bae Do-hyun’s overwhelming victory.

* * *

The news of Bae Do-hyun’s victory took over the main page of each portal site.

Brain experts who predicted Wang Cheon-myeong’s victory or anticipated an even match were unable to keep their mouths shut in surprise at the unexpectedly one-sided result.

In the community, there was a series of posts saying that they knew this would happen, and there was no one who doubted that Bae Do-hyun was the top and most talented person in the current Connect.

And those who were criticizing Bae Do-hyun in the Korean community quickly changed their stance and started praising Bae Do-hyun.

Bae Do-hyun’s win secured Korea an additional 12% of the Connect lottery tickets for the next three months, and prospective players cheered with joy.

Existing Korean players also expressed their gratitude to Bae Do-hyun by enjoying the benefit of exemption from usage fees for a month.

Meanwhile, Connect Co., Ltd., which achieved great publicity and succeeded in attracting attention by broadcasting this fight, used the momentum to push for the establishment of a personal broadcasting system for popular players.

Due to various benefits and support to attract viewers such as YouTube’s Teasy Paprika, Connect Players began streaming activities in earnest.

And Bae Do-hyun’s personal channel and First Guild’s official channel attracted the most subscribers despite the announcement that there would be no live streaming.

Videos of Bae Do-hyun’s activities during the struggle period were explosively increasing, recording millions of views as soon as they were uploaded.

First Guild’s official channel was also receiving a lot of attention from people.

People who saw the video being uploaded even though the player was not yet a member seemed to have the illusion that First Guild was a promotional channel for Connect Co., Ltd.

However, the one that actually manages the official Connect channel is none other than the label.

She edited the video herself based on the know-how of Bae Do-hyeon, who ran a personal channel in her past life, and data she studied on the Internet, and the quality was beyond that of most experts.

For now, the video is mainly focused on Academy news, but in the future, it is planned to be used as a strategic tool rather than a simple promotional channel.

The final list of successful applicants for First Guild Academy has been announced.

A total of 600 players, including 60 who passed the non-combat occupations, qualified for the first class of academy cadets.

Successful students are provided with basic food, clothing, and shelter during the three-month training period, and the players were impressed by the accommodations comparable to most five-star hotels, a luxurious buffet-style restaurant, and neat training uniforms provided every day.

As players who started personal broadcasting uploaded videos they had filmed with permission from the Academy, not only other players but also general viewers became envious.

-Ah, I fill my meals with hard wheat bread and a glass of milk, but someone else eats a super luxurious buffet for every meal. It’s so unfair.ㅠㅠ

-I’m so jealous. The accommodation is much better than my studio apartment…

-I want to get away from the basic clothing. When I come back from a hunting trip, I’m so covered in monster blood and sweat that the smell is unbelievable.

-At that level, it’s almost like winning the lottery. Wouldn’t it be nearly impossible for a regular player to keep up with an academy cadet?

└Really. Even if you hunt all day, there isn’t much left after finding food, accommodation, repairs, and laundry. Since it is no different from reality, there are more than one or two things to be concerned about.

-When is the next recruitment? Did you get a notice?

└It’s a 3-month course, so won’t they be selected again after it’s over?

└The sense of discrimination is strong from the beginning. I wish the academy would disappear.

└How about improving your skills while complaining and aiming for the next rider?

The 16 people who passed the competition were given even more unprecedented compensation and treatment.

In addition to providing upgraded accommodation, each person was provided with exclusive equipment tailored to their individual characteristics.

Additionally, during the academy training period, a ‘portal pass’ was issued that allowed students to freely travel between starting cities, as well as a pass to Turium, the capital of the Kingdom of Ruben.

In other words, new players are free from the restriction of not being able to leave the free city area.

And in the case of the portal, it could not be used without permission unless approved at the arrival point.

So, in normal cases, they had to arrive at the city on foot and obtain a residence permit, but they were able to skip that process and go straight to the capital.

Bae Do-hyun, who won, was given a special reward.

Regardless of whether or not you completed the academy, you were immediately eligible to become a guild member and could receive guild quests.

Of course, it was just announced that way, and in reality, it was just an excuse to act in the guise of Raoul.

Bae Do-hyun did not participate in academy classes and was only scheduled to appear in some practice sessions and graduation exams.

And while Raoul was away, an unusual atmosphere was detected around the estate.

Now it was time to get back to work.
