Chapter 29

 

The enemy in front of Meowie fell under the poison status after being hit by his swinging chain. No matter how hard the healer of Doom tried, it was difficult to heal, detoxify, and self-heal simultaneously.

 

‘Time Bomb, activate!’

 

When the poisoned HP had slowly whittled down to red, Sunset activated the Time Bomb.

 

[Global] Hamster: Damn… I wish they’d patch and delete Time Bomb.

[Global] oOWhispersOo: I agree, seriously.

[Global] GreenEnergy: Someone in our guild literally has a meltdown whenever they see Time Bomb, lol.

 

Half of the group fighting alongside them had died at the hands of just two people, but Paewang1 didn’t seem flustered at all. Even with his HP gauge in the red, he didn’t retreat.

 

‘Spin Tornado!’

 

At that moment, Paewang1 spun around, firing his weapon, attacking 10 people nearby. Instantly, his red HP gauge refilled to full. Though Sunset reactivated Time Bomb, it was useless against Paewang1, whose health had already been restored.

 

[Global] oOWhispersOo: ?? Why didn’t he die?

[Global] BackStabber: Did anyone see how Paewang just regained all that HP?????? Gunners, is Spin Tornado an HP drain skill…?

[Global] HonestCommenter: Haha, you idiot! If that was possible, why would gunners even need healers? They’d just solo everything! Haha.

[Global] BackStabber: Haha, gimme your number.

[Global] HonestCommenter: Snore.

[Global] Hamster: Stop fighting here, idiots. T_T

 

The points for both teams were neck and neck. If someone recklessly destroyed the fortress and the enemy team’s points were higher, they would lose. Thus, both teams left the fortress durability at 10% and largely stopped attacking it.

 

[Global] GreenEnergy: I just checked the patch notes from two days ago—no mention of an HP drain being added. Is this some kind of bug…?

 

Even the spectators in chat couldn’t figure out the secret behind the gunner draining health. Neither MeowieMeowMeow nor Sunset could easily kill Paewang1, no matter how much they targeted him.

 

<FailMage★> ohmyboy: Haha, you noobs. What’s wrong? Cat got your tongues? Hehe.

<FailMage★> ohmyboy: You’ll never set foot in Isis, losers.

[Global] Hamster: Why do these guys who are obsessed with slaughtering people refuse to play the actual game of breaking the fortress…? We’ll end up running out of time at this rate. T_T

 

Paewang1 leaped from an aerial platform, spinning in an arc, and used Spin Tornado again, achieving 5 kills in one go. <FailMage★>’s points suddenly surpassed <ㅇㅅㅇㅗ>’s.

 

[Global] BackStabber: Wow, FailMage could actually win this…? Crazy.

[Global] Hamster: What is Sunset even doing? Is he chickening out?

 

Suddenly, Sunset retreated, while King Saber and the other dealers moved to guard MeowieMeowMeow’s front and back.

 

[Global] GreenEnergy: ?????? Sunset just switched weapons… Why use that all of a sudden…?

[Global] Hamster: Is he planning to blame the loss on his weapon choice? Haha.

 

Sunset had swapped his harp for a round crystal orb. It was a weapon usually only used by mages before they completed their job change.

[Party] Ji9star: That zombie bastard keeps reviving, so annoying. Ugh.

Paewang1 was using some kind of bug, but even the friendly gunners couldn’t guess what it was.

 

[Party] Seolyoung: Ugh, why did he suddenly get so good?! We were winning. T_T

[Party] Aslan: Looks like he’s connected with the healers. The green apple guy and other healers are sticking to him constantly. Haha, look at that.

 

As he said, six healers were glued to Paewang1, each using different skills as he used Spin Tornado. It seemed they were trying to make it impossible to identify which skill was linked with Spin Tornado.

 

[Party] Ji9star: Looks like it’s all water-type skills, so it’s probably a healing buff.

[Party] ParkRoach: OK, could one gunner please move to the front of the bridge? Let’s test something.

[Party] Honeymoon: I’ll go!

[Party] Sunset: I’m going to retreat for a bit… Meowie, please cover me!

 

Kyungsoo couldn’t help but flinch slightly at the comment, feeling momentarily disturbed. Sunset was a valuable support player, and losing him now would be a bit inconvenient.

 

“…No, that’s not right.”

 

No, no. It’d only be a little inconvenient, not enough to warrant protection. Kyungsoo resolved to prove this to himself, hooking an enemy by the hair with a grapple and stunning them with a “Bazooka Punch.” Other dealers quickly pounced on the stunned enemies, whittling away their HP until they were dead.

 

[Party] SpadeQueen: But why though?

[Party] Sunset: Hehe, guess why. ㅇㅅㅇ?

[Party] SpadeQueen: I’m just curious, lol.

[Party] Sunset: Meowie, hold on!!

 

Sunset took a few steps back, switching from his harp to an orb. A white light effect wrapped around him.

 

[Party] Anamato: ????? What’s wrong with our guild leader? Why would you think of skill resetting in this situation? Haha.

[Party] PoseidonCaptain: What? Skill reset?

[Party] Seolyoung: Huh? Reset???

[Party] Ji9star: What the hell…

[Party] Seolyoung: Haha, are you crazy?! We’re doomed now, haha.

 

The white light surrounding Sunset was the effect triggered when resetting skills. FailMage players seemed to realize that Sunset was temporarily disabled, as they rushed toward him. The panicked dealers blocked Sunset’s path, but the invisible player started picking off the healers. To make matters worse, as they struggled because of Sunset, Paewang1 approached Kyungsoo.

 

[Party] Sunset: Almost done. Hold on.

 

The hospital level had been upgraded, so it would take 15 seconds for the healers to respawn. Until then, Sunset had to be protected. Whatever plan Sunset had in mind with the skill reset, it didn’t seem like they were completely without a strategy. Maybe it was worth trusting him this time.

 

[Party] ParkRoach: LOL, healers are so easy to mess with.

It wasn’t just Sunset who was in trouble without a healer. Berserker, who takes recoil damage with every attack, especially needed a healer in large-scale PVP battles.

[Party] Ji9star: Meowie, you’re about to die. Fall back now.

Kyungsoo was already at the point where just one more hit or using an attack would drop his HP to zero. At that moment, he spotted an invisible player gathering energy, aiming their weapon toward Sunset.

No… If that hits, Sunset will die. Kyungsoo used a movement skill to quickly approach the invisible player and activated his skill.

“Hooking Star!”

The invisible player, hit before their ultimate skill could activate, failed to use their ultimate. Kyungsoo, who protected Sunset, ended up dying instead.

[Party] Ji9star: Wow, he was almost dead and sacrificed himself to protect his concubine, LOL!

[Party] ParkRoach: LOL, I told you, it’s a love that lasts a thousand years.

[Party] MeowieMeowMeow: So, should I have just let them die?

[Party] Neutaaaa: Still, LOL, if it were me, I think I would have just left them to die, LOL.

Kyungsoo, now incapacitated, was sent to the hospital, unable to do anything for 15 seconds. From another guild member’s point of view, he watched to see what Sunset would do next. Healers rushed in right after they revived, barely managing to heal and save the guild members.

[Party] Sunset: All set. LOL.

At that, everyone silently waited to see what he would do next.

“Fire…”

“What the hell?”

Sunset, about to use a skill starting with “fire,” abruptly canceled it while gathering energy. He immediately followed up with another skill.

“Bubble Bubble!”

[Party] MeowieMeowMeow: LOL, it’s a disaster.

It was a low-tier water skill that even wizards who hadn’t undergone their first job change could learn by level 30. Naturally, the damage would be minimal. I went through all this trouble to save that guy…

Bubbles shimmered as they floated forward, aimed at Paewang1. The moment they touched Paewang1—

‘Sunset has slain enemy Paewang1.’

A pillar of fire erupted, incinerating Paewang1 in an instant. It happened so fast.

[Party] MeowieMeowMeow: ?

[Party] Neutaaaa: ?? Instakill?

[Party] SpadeQueen: ?

‘Sunset has slain enemy GreenAppleCheong.’

‘Sunset has slain enemy Invisible Man.’

‘Sunset has slain enemy Ohmyboy.’

‘Sunset has slain enemy Syungnyung.’

‘Sunset has slain enemy Fox Tail Tempura.’

‘The whole world trembles before Sunset!’

[Party] Neutaaaa: What… ???????????? LOL

[Party] SpadeQueen: LOL, how did you even know? LOL

[Party] Sunset: It just happened, LOL. I was saving it, but you all were annoying me.

“……”

When the bubbles hit the enemy, the ultimate skill he had canceled earlier activated, summoning a pillar of fire. It was almost invincible.

[Global] Ji9star: Now, who’s the noob?

[Global] Ohmyboy: LOL, wtf.

[Global] Ji9star: What? Can’t hear dead people’s complaints.

[Global] Iove: LOL, what are you even doing? Did you forget about sportsmanship?

[Global] Sunset: Just playing with fire.

[Global] Ohmyboy: Using a **bug and calling it playing with fire? LOL.

[Global] ParkRoach: Not sure you’re in a position to talk…

[Global] Sunset: ? You do know Paewang-whatever used the bug first, right?

[Global] Sunset: If you’re going to talk about fair play, you might want to ask Paewang-whatever about it first.

[Party] Ji9star: LOL, “Paewang-whatever” makes it even worse for them, LOL.

[Global] Sunset: But even though… I know the bug is… so lame…

[Global] Sunset: I know, but I tried not to use it… Ugh…

[Global] Sunset: The game gets boring if you use bugs, you know… LOL.

[Global] Sunset: But Meowie keeps getting beaten up in front of me, making me so mad, LOL.

So I reset the match, huh?

[Global] Sunset: Now, I can’t even stop myself.

[Party] PoseidonCaptain: LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL.

[Party] Ji9star: LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL.

He’s insane.

[Party] MeowieMeowMeow: Yeah, sure. But for some reason, now that we’re winning, it’s crazy fun… Keep going.

[Party] Sunset: Yep. LOL.

Sunset went completely wild, hunting down every single hidden Doom member. He even waited in front of their castle for them to respawn, burning each one to death the moment they revived.

[Party] Seolyoung: He’s on fire. LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL.

[Party] Aslen: Yeah, I won’t be messing with the guild leader from now on…

[Party] Neutaaaa: There’s nothing left to do… Feels like I’m just watching.

[Party] Ji9star: LOL, LOL, LOL. Who doesn’t hit people in PVP, huh? LOL, LOL, LOL.

[Party] HalloweenEggplant: Damn, I love this. LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL.

The outcome was obvious. Poseidon and Melody claimed a crushing victory with an overwhelming score difference.
