Chapter 22
Episode 22. Prosecutor’s castle (1)
It was a very wet castle.
A wet, dreary, horror-movie castle.
“Is this stage an adult?”
“Damn, I don’t like the atmosphere.”
The players murmured.
The appearance of constantly turning his head around and being wary of his surroundings.
This is what normal players usually see when they first enter the stage.
“At least this stage is not an open world stage like ‘Street of Murder’.”
-huh. Rather, I feel comfortable with this.
The open world stage was wide enough to fit a basic city.
Lots of players on a large map. Of course, there are bound to be many variables.
Of course, there were many opportunities to get equipment or various rewards, but if there are too many variables, it will be a headache.
“It’s a castle after all… … .”
-What immediately comes to mind is Princess Raid, the prosecutor’s castle. Looking at the number of players around me, I don’t think it’s a defense & offense.
-ㅋㅋㅋ Wow, the moon comes out like it’s watching and reading something.
– How much life did you put into Dantalian? Ha ha ha ha
– There is no one who studies the game with an eye to each other like Moon. Haha – I, Ko Yeon-soo
, wait for streamer Dal-nim
‘s cam broadcast .
-I miss the appearance of not being able to do anything because I expected everything but my physical condition was poor.
But looking at it again, it must be really frustrating.
-agreed. Watching Yoon Tae-yang and seeing the moon…
While Tae-yang and Hyun-hye were contemplating what kind of stage they would be on, something appeared in the air.
“Oh! There in the air!”
“That one?”
People stared into the air, starting with the first player they found.
“hello! The Demon King’s messenger, Bernstein, appears!”
A being with the appearance of a child with small bat wings.
little devil.
“Why am I here? That’s right, for the explanation of this stage!”
A system window appeared in front of the sun with the words of the goblin Bernstein.
[2-3 Prosecutor’s castle: Exit the castle.]
“Oh, you got it right.”
– Heh, that’s about it.
Hyun-hye’s proud voice has a part that subtly makes people angry.
That feeling of wanting to bully rather than get angry?
I just want to tease you.
“Pretending to be proud again.”
-hey! Do you think it’s easy to guess what stage it is just by looking at the background?
“it’s a shame. It would have been really cool if I had just said ‘huh’ and skipped it, but Ju-jeop did this… … .”
-agreed.
– ㅇㅇㅇ Be sure to say one more thing…
– Profit!
Hyeon-hye seems to have gotten a lot of medicine with the participation of viewers.
Taeyang giggled at Hyunhye’s reaction.
In the meantime, Bernstein continued his explanation.
“A mad prosecutor lives on the top floor of this castle. how crazy are you He’s so terrifying and his personality is such that he’ll wield a knife if he sees anything alive. is not it? Did you swing it just by moving?”
Powerful and hostile to the player.
Maniac Inspector.
As time went by, the prosecutor’s activity radius widened.
To put it simply, it means coming downstairs from the top.
Conversely, the players are now under the castle and had to climb up.

“The rooms in the castle are all locked now. So players must pass the ordeal and unlock it to move on to the next area. If you go through that and enter a room in the middle of the castle, this stage is cleared! How easy is it?”
The story is easy.
Then one player raised his hand and asked.
“What if the prosecutor gets to the middle first?”
The little devil grinned at the player’s question.
It was the innocent smile typical of a child.
“Once you reach the room, you pass. There’s probably a prosecutor guarding the door. Having a good talk with the prosecutor might be one way.”
Bright eyes that look like they’re looking forward to it.
Perhaps what that goblin expects is for the swordsman and the player to meet.
More precisely, scenes of blood spattering and screaming in pain.
“Oh! If you look in the basement of the castle, you will find the entrance to the dungeon! After going through trials and unlocking rooms, if you find it difficult, go to the underground dungeon and seek growth.”
In the underground dungeon, equipment artifacts or even cards could be obtained.
Of course, in the case of high-grade cards or advanced artifacts, you have to go deep and follow your luck, but anyway.
Clear the stage by unlocking the room while going through trials, or put off the clearing for a while and enter the underground dungeon to improve your level.
This gives the player two options.
“As a tip, there are many rewards in dungeons. Rather than unlocking the room, it’s better to finish a lot of specs in the dungeon and then deal with the swordsman.”
The sun clicked its tongue.
The swordsman’s castle stage was a slightly different stage from the dimensional labyrinth that Taeyang had been through so far.
Excluding the tutorial, Taeyang went through two stages.
The street of finding the orb and killing.
These two stages openly encouraged competition among players.
In the case of finding orbs, the point was to collect orbs much faster than other players.
The street of murder was an open mission to kill other players.
The swordsman’s castle is a stage where players must cooperate, not compete.
But that collaboration is the worst.
-Group assignment on.
– Someone other than me will do it.
-Oh, I don’t know~ You guys do it~ I’m going into the dungeon~.
– Pleas ae ae ae! It’s already clear. Haha
– I’ve never seen anything that wasn’t a big show here. Ha ha ha ha
-Now, users can’t get together and do politics. It seems to be clogged.
– Wouldn’t it be possible to rule with an iron fist if Taeyang Yoon was armed?
-That’s also a way.
About thirty players gathered at this stage.
If everyone diligently unlocks the room, clearing the stage is easier than expected.
In theory, yes.
Of course, that doesn’t work well.
I will work hard at first.
‘And they’ll soon enter the underground dungeon one by one and won’t come out.’
at that time.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
A scream that made the spine stand upright echoed in the castle.
The maddened swordsman’s roar.
A mana-filled cry oppressed the hearts of the players.
The sun squinted its eyes.
Other players also responded to the roar.
“What is it?”
“Is this a mad prosecutor?”
Some weak players’ faces turned white just by hearing the sound.
Players who didn’t were also reminded of their alertness.
It was because the scream alone made me realize how strong the madman swordsman was.
Even the players, who were momentarily stunned by the little devil Bernstein’s explanation, immediately changed their minds.
The equipment is good and the growth is good.
But more important than that is life.
Bernstein pursed his lips.
“what. no fun.”
The cute goblin disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
“Well then… … .”
Players look at each other.
Then the muscular man slammed his greatsword into the floor.
Kwaaang!
A crater was dug in the floor of the stone castle.
“What is it?”
“crazy!”
Is it a natural dragon or is it a collection of achievements?
Taeyang unknowingly opened and closed his fists.
‘Would that be me too?’
I don’t know because I haven’t tried it, but it feels like it will work.
Taeyang suddenly became curious about the limits of his body.
From the beginning of the tower, where achievements were difficult to obtain, the pace of 4 achievements per floor was literally the best pace ever, but he was unable to recognize the limitations of his body.
hmm. I’ll definitely check it out later.
Knowing how far you can move was a pretty important factor.
Anyway, the atmosphere froze at the muscular man’s demonstration of force.
The muscular man opened his mouth.
“From now on, everyone goes to unlock the room. Any complaints?”
– The appearance of the leader.
– Ha ha ha ha Hey, if you don’t listen to the leader, you’ll be finely chopped.
-Look at those crazy muscles. lol.
-Is it easily covered?
-Every bus is caught.
-Oh Yoon Taeyang, you’re lucky on this stage as well.
-Is it like this when you play solo?
– Other people should have done it to compare. lol.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The only person to verify is Taeyang Yoon.
A player murmured from behind.
“Ho, is that Toby by any chance?”
“Toby?”
“That Toby who broke 3 walls by himself in the Capture the Flag stage?”
Some players murmured at the player’s words.
He wasn’t the player Taeyang met, but he seemed to be quite active on the last stage.
“me too… … . Big hum. Don’t you know?”
Sun cleared his throat and looked around.
– What is he doing?
-You want me to find out?
-Ah, no way… lol.
-Kingpy World Champion Yoon Taeyang expects something like this?
-Isn’t it?
-Ahhhh I’m embarrassing myself.
It seemed that no one recognized him.
The sun stole under the nose for no reason.
“Then let’s all move together.”
After waiting for a while, no refutation of players appeared, and soon, a muscular man, Toby, led the players.
The sun caught up with them without even knowing it.
– Taeyang, what are you doing?
“huh?”
-That’s it for this stage. A katana that ate blood.
Oh, was that this stage?
At Hyun-hye’s words, Taeyang stopped walking for a moment.
“huh?”
“what?”
The players who were moving together looked at the sun with puzzled eyes.
The sun suddenly declared.
“I won’t go.”
“what?”
“I need to go down to the dungeon and do some level up. It looks like Toby or something has already collected some cards, but I’m not.”
The voice of the sun was clear.
Enough for all nearby players to hear.
Toby, who had been walking in the lead, stood tall.
The sun turned its back regardless of the reaction.
“I’m going to the dungeon.”
“Stop.”
Toby’s thick voice slammed down on the ground.
Of course, the sun didn’t stop.
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, the players stepped back left and right.
sereung.
Toby turned around and drew his greatsword.
“I told you twice to stop. No three times.”
“huh. Fuck you.”
Some players who foresaw what was about to happen at Taeyang’s light remark swallowed a gulp.
Huung.
As Toby swings his sword.
Taat.
the sun blew
Quaang!
The greatsword Toby threw passed past Taeyang’s back.
The greatsword left a huge scar on the wall of the hallway.
“catch!”
no catch
Toby threw himself.
As the massive body runs swiftly, it feels like the stomach is full.
Taeyang evaded Toby with a dangerous move, as if he could not be caught.
Soon the sun entered the dungeon entrance and Toby followed.
-What is the katana that ate blood?
-Isn’t that a good thing anyway?
-Yoon Taeyang is a retired team member?
-???: troll? It’s annoying when I get hit, but it’s fun when I do it.
– This is an unexpected picture.
-Ah haha What is this stage?!
– I got caught by Mr. Guljaemgak hahahahaha.
The remaining players looked at each other.
“Shall we go in?”
“Toby went in too. We too… … .”
Quaang!
Toby walked out the door, his face red with anger.
The players turned around in silence.
As soon as Toby heard the little devil Bernstein’s explanation, he understood the outline of this stage.
Dungeons are traps. The important thing is unity.
I wanted to go easy.
So he dared to take up his gun.
Even wielding force, he rallied the players.
He was willing to take on a risk that was too great for an individual player to step forward and lose.
Perhaps a heroic move.
And that move faded with the departure of a man.
‘I thought it would be easy.’
Toby bit his lip.
I can feel the players following me glancing back.
‘Damn it.’
In this situation, it was only a matter of time before the players left.
