1st place in the ranking is the villager

- Volume 3 Episode 8

8. The first sword that stops (1)

Changgang-!

The Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword, whose durability was rapidly dropping, eventually reached zero durability and was broken in two.

The sword split in two, and in the end, Adora's sword, which could not be stopped, went straight into Hoya's chest.

"Ugh...!"

[The effect of the title 'Indomitable Will' is activated.]

[Immediately revives while recovering 1 HP.]

[All stats are doubled for 10 seconds, and all attacks are applied as critical hits.]

[The cooldown of all skills has been reset.]

When the title effect activates, I lost my weapon.

And now, rather than pouring an attack on Adora, it was a situation where he had to summon Krauss quickly.

Quang-!

Adora's slashed sword cut Hoya greatly, but Hoya could not die due to the effect of 'Indomitable Will'.

In between, Hoya used Return to Village in a cloud of dust, which was largely caused by Adora's attack.

When Hoya was not in the place where the dust cloud had cleared, Dino burst into laughter.

"Khahahaha! That's great!"

In the pleasure of finally killing Hoya, Dino didn't notice that the system message 'Killing the player increases the Cao's level' did not appear.

And people watching through the stream thought Hoya was dead.

-Ah... I lost in the end.

-Is it the limit of the villagers?

-But honestly, moving is better than other rankers.

- Still, we didn't win, so who's going to take care of the dino now?

As they were thinking so, Hoya had arrived at Krauss's house.

* * *

Krauss stood firm on the spot at the story Hoya had rushed to bring up.

"...what did you just say?"

"Adora is waiting for her brother and her teacher."

Hoya once again said that Adora had become a Death Knight by an adventurer, and that she was waiting for someone to stop her, Krauss.

Hearing Hoya's story, Krauss' body stiffened, but his eyes were trembling.

Krauss was thinking.

Will he be the way for him that he himself is going to stop Adora?

The relationship ended like that in the past, but is it really okay for him to leave?

He was troubled, but Krauss's head was more inclined to the side of wanting to go to meet the disciple and save the disciple.

Krauss clenched his fists once and took his sword.

"let's go."

Krauss and Hoya asked Moan to go warp, and Moan naturally asked about the situation.

When the name 'Dino' comes out of Hoya's mouth, Moan feels life.

"Hey, you mean he hasn't come to his senses yet?"

"Yes? What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Hoya couldn't hear Moan's small mumble.

Mo An thought that Dino had taken good care of her, but she felt that she was still lacking.

She thought she was too soft.This time, like last time, I don't just finish it lightly.

Moan, who was so determined, handed Kraus a cloak.

"I'm not going to say anything special this time because of the circumstances. But Krauss, do you know the rules of the town? So, cover your face."

"......okay."

As Krauss pressed the hood of the cloak deeply, Moan created a warp magic circle at the feet of the rope to move Hoya and Krauss.

"Huh? Can I not hold your hand?"

“Hey, be careful!”

Moan roughly ignored Hoya's words.

* * *

"Good work."

Dino said so and tapped Adora on the shoulder.

"... not yet."

"what?"

Following Adora's words, Dino turned his gaze, following his head, and two figures appeared there.

One was wearing a deep hood, so I couldn't tell who it was, but the other could definitely tell.

"...why are you alive?"

Hoya, whom I thought was dead, was there.

Only then did Dino check the system message and know that he wasn't dead in the first place.

"Hey, did you run away and bring back reinforcements?"

I was so upset that I couldn't even speak.

If you just run away as it is, it would be convenient to come back again.

This time he thought he was sure to kill him.

He didn't even care who the mantle was next to.

Dino was convinced that even if he brought reinforcements, there would be no one who could defeat Adora.

"Make sure this time."

"......okay."

Yes, this time it seemed like we could definitely put an end to this situation.

Although his face was invisible, Adora could clearly recognize who was next to Hoya.

I miss you and I'm sorry... My master.

"......"

The Death Knight, Adora, entered Krauss's sight.

There really was Adora.

She was there in a miserable state.

A doll that neither dies nor lives, and cannot move according to its own will.

Seeing him, Krauss' sharpened eyes turned to Dino.

creepy-.

Dino wondered why he suddenly felt a chill.

He never thought he was scared.

Dino firmly believed in the power of Adora.

"What are you doing? Aren't you doing it quickly?"

At Dino's words, Adora leapt strongly.

Like a movie film with the middle part cut off, she blinked lightly, and Adora was already facing the sword with Krauss.

Krauss' sword that is not pushed by Adora's sword at all.

Rather, Krauss seemed relaxed.

"......long time no see."

"...It's been a while, Master."

Aside from his feelings towards Krauss, Adora's sword was being swung towards him with all his might.

The conversation and the situation were strangely inconsistent.

Adora opened her mouth heavily.

"...I'm sorry, Master."

"What are you sorry for?"

"...everything. Starting with the word wounded in Master's heart."

Chaeng, Chaejaeng-.

"Until now..."

Rattlesnake - bang!

"Everything is sinful."

To Adora's words, Krauss didn't respond right away.

He just smiled softly.

"Yeah, I should be sorry. How painful was I mentally at that time."

Krauss' words hit Adora's chest heavily.

There was no excuse for anything.

"But... it's all a thing of the past. Now that I've brushed it all off... It's okay now. Although the shape is strange, you called me first."

"......"

This time, Adora couldn't answer Krauss, but his expression was enough to give him an answer.

"So......."

Krauss' sword moves with a different level of power and speed than before.

"Don't take it to heart anymore... I'll take revenge on you."

"......Yes."

Adora answered Krauss in a trembling voice.

Just before disappearing into a grain of light, Adora looked at Hoya.

Adora said to Hoya.

His appearance and his youth seem to overlap.

"You must... hang out with Master until the very end... ...this is the first and last request of the death penalty."

Don't walk the same path as me.

At the end of those words, Adora became a particle of light and disappeared completely.

In the place where he disappeared, only a silver sword was left.

"Uh, uh..."

Dino lost her language function for a moment at the sight of Adora dying briskly.

No, he shouldn't die so easily!

Dino was screaming inwardly.

It was the same for those who were watching through the broadcast that was still on.

- No, why does it die so easily?

- The mantle is crazy;

- Who the hell is that?

- The player certainly doesn't seem to be. Even a poet can't get enough strength like that.

-Honestly, I don't think it's even possible like Hoya, who loves writing.

- I don't know what it is, but I feel like my stomach has been cleared.

-Dino that sassy death knight too! 100 million! I'm done, now it's over

- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

People who praised Dino in the early days of streaming Dino started swearing at him in the middle.And when he thought that Hoya was dead, he criticized Dino while feeling sad like a maimed across the river, and now that Dino's Death Knight has been in vain, the accusations and swearing towards him have reached a climax.

Dino's fists were trembling as he unknowingly checked the chat window.

He was also trembling from his insults, but he was far more afraid of the cloak that was slowly approaching him.

It was the first time Dino felt such a strong and intense fear while playing Initium.

I can't even see my eyes, but I feel like I'm going to be pierced by them.

Although he was walking very slowly, Dino didn't even think of running away.

The warp scroll in his inventory was long forgotten in his mind.

No, nothing came to his mind.

"Hey."

"Hey!"

Krauss's voice was lower than any he had ever heard and filled with anger.

He had the illusion that he could kill his opponent with just his voice.

“If it collapses too easily, it will be unfair, so please hold on for a long time?”

"What, what...?"

hooked.

Krauss' sword pierced Dino's right thigh.

He only stabbed his thigh, but he felt a pain he had never felt in Initium before.

A scream escaped Dino's mouth at the first pain he felt, and he slumped off his bony horse and wrapped his hands around his thighs.

"Adora must have felt hundreds of times more painful than that because of you. So..."

Krauss said as if to notify Dino.

“I have no intention of letting you go until I feel all the pain.”

Krauss did not kill Dino for a few dozen minutes after that, taking revenge on Adora.

He took Adora's revenge until he used a knack to keep him from dying when training himself.

To be honest, what Krauss is doing now is not a good scene to watch.

Rather, it reminded me of the past and felt rejected.

...Hoya knows that these feelings are contradictory.

I know that it is a completely different situation, a different feeling than it was back then.

Still, he felt these feelings, and he seemed too foolish.

He thought differently.

What kind of behavior would she have shown herself from Krauss's point of view if Adora was someone who was important to her, for example, Ye-sook Lee?

It probably wasn't that different from Kraus's behavior.

And he had previously said that what he had done to Dino was no different from what Krauss was doing.

Thinking so, he could understand and accept Krauss.

"I think that's enough."

"......okay."

At Hoya's words, Krauss logged out Dino just then.

And at the same time Dino was logged out, his streaming also ended.

But it was too late.

Dino being beaten by Krauss was streamed as is.

A new rumor arose in Initium.

It was rumored that if he touched the villager Hoya, a cloak without blood or tears would appear to avenge him.

The appearance of the cloak, Krauss, reflected through Dino's streaming was enough to inspire fear.

People didn't know about Krauss's relationship with Adora, so they assumed that he was doing it for Hoya's revenge.

Clearly, this was revenge for Adora, but if Hoya were to suffer something similar, Krauss probably wouldn't stand still.

Not just Krauss, but all the inhabitants of Ordo.

It is only a little later that Dino's name completely disappears from the ranking list as time passes.
