Solo Max-Level Newbie

Episode 697 War of Nerves (1)

Sigh.

Ivankovic and Kiyov looked at each other.

Needless to say, I have the same thoughts.

Let’s change the old, stagnant, rotten water and prove that a new wind is blowing.

“Hey, who is this?”

“Hmm. Are you the representative in Korea again? It’s not like copy and pasting. I’m sick of it.”

Lee Juk-i’s voice turned to Yoo Cheon-young, who was walking calmly.

Stand tall.

Yoo Cheon-young’s steps, which were heading straight, stopped.

The rest of Korea’s members and rankers who followed behind them also looked in the direction from which they had started the argument.

“Insolent…”

“What are you doing?”

They were the masters and rankers who led Dangun, Balhae, and Saul-Abi.

They were naturally angry because they were openly ridiculing their representative, Yoo Cheon-young.

but.

Responding to provocation was actually what the two wanted.

“You’re talking about adults, but puppies are barking all day long.”

Kukukukukuku!

As Ivankovic unleashed his magic, he felt the pressure of a rock.

“Big!”

“Cluck! Cluck!”

Most players knelt on the spot.

It seems to show an overwhelming gap. The fight itself does not take place at all. With just the sheer momentum, more than half of them have already curled their tails.

“Still, the rankers of each guild are shaking at this level.”

“I don’t know what qualifications these people have for participating in the event. Of course, it’s only popular in Korea, but it wouldn’t even be ranked in the world.”

This killing became even more blatant.

Due to the loud commotion, the number of onlookers was already increasing one by one. It was certain that soon even reporters would find out about this.

“Stop it.”

Yoo Cheon-young quietly warned.

Standing calmly even under tremendous pressure.

Before I knew it, blue water had formed on my feet.

It means that if you cross the line any further, we will not let you go.

“It’s funny. Even when everyone gets old, a tiger is still a tiger.”

At one time, Korea was an awakened powerhouse competing for 12th place among the G20. Based on the solid large guilds and the old people who played the existing Tower of Trials, we built a force that no one could do lightly.

But at some point, that foundation disappeared completely.

It’s like a shimmering oasis in the desert.

The exact reason… I don’t know.

It felt like a huge ink had been spilled on the history of the world, as if there had been a gap in my memory.

In any case, the prestige of the powerful country called Korea collapsed rapidly. Now, it has become nothing more than a third-class country that watches over other powerful countries and picks up scraps from dungeons.

‘The only ones left are a few people, including that old man and his granddaughter.’

This was when Ivankovic was about to pull out his sword from subspace.

“The competition hasn’t even started yet, so don’t relax too much in the beginning. I don’t want to get caught up in that superficiality.”

A sharp female voice was heard among the Korean representatives.

Not a player.

Nevertheless, he was a person with more influence than the top rankers.

It was Seo Jeong-hee, one of the emerging nobles.

Next to him was an executive belonging to the American Awakened Association.

“You…”

“Seo Jeong-hee.”

The two rankers showed signs of trouble for the first time.

Unlike Yoo Cheon-young, Seo Jeong-hee is someone who cannot be messed with.

Hurting her meant attacking America.

Seeing the rankers looking confused, an executive from the American Awakened Association added a word.

“Hahaha. It’s the same country, but we’re treated so differently. You have to read the trends carefully to avoid being left behind. Just like Director Seo Jeong-hee here.”

“It’s a bit offensive to say that I read the bandwagon. My grandparents were American citizens to begin with. I, too, have always had a sense of belonging to the United States.”

“Hmm. I made a mistake. Anyway, you two, please stop harassing the weak too much. It is a place where the world comes together.”

Dissuade, but do not force.

They only pretend to mediate considering their external image.

That blatant intention was felt by everyone at the scene.

When Seo Jeong-hee and the American Association of Awakened executives disappeared, the second round began.

Buzz, buzz!

As the commotion grew, the number of onlookers naturally increased.

Now it is a place where hundreds of people have gathered.

“Is there a fight going on?”

“Do you think Russia, Europe, and Korea will have a showdown?”

“It’s already a war of nerves… It’s exciting.”

“It’s interesting. “It looks like we’re going to have to fight a gorilla and an ant, but if we’re trying to build up our pride, the dog will probably end up getting hit.”

Public opinion was one-sided.

It’s a natural thing.

Achievements and individual specifications known so far. And the number of top rankers we have. Because comparison was completely impossible.

But right then.

Jerk.

A new person intervened on that thin ice.

It feels like you wouldn’t even bat an eyebrow even if there was a stabbing right next to you.

It was natural.

⁕⁕⁕

An event I attended on a high note, imagining getting mouth-watering rewards.

It was nice to finally set foot on American soil through LA Airport.

Thanks to Ellis, it was perfect that everyone flew first class and received all kinds of services.

But sure enough.

As soon as we reached this foreign country, a battle of wits between the powerful was waiting.

Discipline that remains unchanged from past to present.

It’s quite cute and refreshing to see such newbies gathered together.

‘Are they a new ranker or something?’

Jinhyeok chuckled when he saw Ivankovic confronting Cheon Yoo-seong.

In the past, this kind of reaction would have been unthinkable, but now that humanity’s memories have been erased through the ‘Fountain of Forgetting’, it has no choice but to become a target for virtually everyone.

Ellis, wearing a black dress, waved a parasol.

“You idiots, who dare stand in your way now? Contractors. Do you mind if I wipe them all out?”

“Oh my gosh. It would take a year to clean up all the blood. Above all, I told you that I shouldn’t bully weak kids, right?”

“Huh? Didn’t the contractor like torturing weak kids the most?”

“Can you do a centrifuge for the first time in a while?”

“I’m sorry. It was Jim’s fault.”

Jinhyuk and the rest of the members had a regular conversation.

of course.

There’s no way I could stay silent after hearing something like that.

“Now you’re talking about bugs from countries as small as snot, which I’ve never even heard of. Will you come to your senses if you see blood?”

Sreung!

Ivankovic’s sword radiated anticipation.

But right before the sword was drawn. Cheon Yu-seong’s hand twitched.

The sword with the green light moved in sync.

Creepy!

A feeling I felt for the first time enveloped my entire body.

The main light.

…If only I had just swung the sword.

No, if the sword had been completely drawn….

‘He was dead.’

Pure truth without a single bit of exaggeration or assumption.

Because Ivankovic had reached a certain level, the result when swords clashed was depicted very clearly.

“…You’re not stupid at all.”

Cheon Yoo-seong slowly passed by Ivankovic.

“Why are you hitting on him? Huh? Talk to me, stupid Geomseong.”

“Please shut that mouth before I cut you down too.”

“It’s chilly. Still, I don’t hate that about you.”

The rest, including Jinhyeok and Ellis, also left leisurely.

It was only after the situation was over that those present realized the reality.

“What? Now?”

“Why did you send it to me? Did you watch it?”

“There was something strange about that… To me, it seemed like he was intentionally trying to avoid a fight.”

Reporters holding cameras tilted their heads.

“Those bastards…”

Ivankovic grabbed his sword once again in shame and anger.

No matter how much I didn’t give my best, I couldn’t accept that I was pressured by the momentum of an ordinary player who wasn’t even a ranker.

But why?

The mouth that was about to spit out a swear word did not come off easily.

His feet also didn’t listen, as if they were stuck on the ground.

“What are you doing? Are you going to send them there?”

Kiyov protested.

“Fuck it. I know. I know!”

“If you know, what are you doing without moving? Damn it. This is why I didn’t trust the Russian bastards.”

Kiyov just threw himself away.

This is because I plan on wiping out everything by myself.

Blame…. Blame! Quang!

Kick off the ground and head forward.

The arrogant guys I had already targeted were out of sight.

Even so, if you just turn that corner, you will see it right away.

It was a pity that there were no eyes watching, but the immediate priority was to build up one’s pride.

“Why aren’t you stopping me?”

Ivankovic asked Yoo Cheon-young.

The moment new characters appeared, Yoo Cheon-young’s momentum, which was like a mountain, suddenly disappeared like a lie.

“Because there is no need to fight anymore.”

“what? “What does that mean?”

“You’ll know when you see. “How useless and insignificant the power you boasted about was.”

Yoo Cheon-young also left, leaving only an unintelligible comment.

Right at that moment.

Kukukukukukuku!

I felt Kiyov’s magic power being released.

They finally started to clash.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa…. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

A loud roar rang out once.

The entire building shakes loudly.

Everything was being torn apart as if a typhoon was approaching.

The smoke billowing from afar came right in front of me.

“Three Gods.”

“I would have died at that level, right?”

“But still. Mr. Kiyov. Isn’t that too much? Even if it is a promised country, this will cause international problems.”

A worried response followed.

⁕⁕⁕

Slap!

“Come to your senses.”

Slap!

“Wake up! Kiyov!”

“Ugh… Ugh?”

Kiyov stumbled and stood up as he felt someone hitting his cheek hard.

Throbbing! Thinging!

Tremendous pain engulfed his whole body.

In front of him was the Dreadlor, the largest federation guild in Europe. There was ‘Sam Meyer’, a ranker. He had a thin appearance and a long scar on his face.

If there was a real-life killer, it would be exactly like this.

Ranked 9th.

He was the 9th strongest man in all of Europe.

“Meyer. ..”

“Explain. What happened?”

“That…”

Kiyov trailed off.

The last thing he remembered was approaching a guy named Cheon Yu-seong.

He pulled out his sword with the intention of crushing him in one fell swoop.

But. Just before reaching Cheon Yu-seong.

When he hit the shoulder of the girl with white hair, everything turned dark.

“….”

As Kiyov closed his mouth like a dumb fool, Mayer’s brow furrowed grimly.

Quaaaang!

A huge crack appeared in one wall.

“I heard that it wasn’t Yoo Cheon-young who moved, but some random strangers. Is this true? What happened to those guys?”

“Oh no!”

Kiyov shouted hurriedly.

If you tell the truth here, everything is really over. This means that what has been built so far can really collapse in an instant.

It’s impossible to use such nonsense when you don’t know exactly what happened.

then.

The best option is to leave everything to the gullible guys.

USA.

“The American Titan Guild interfered.”

There is only one way to live.

“I think they must be receiving support from the United States. I clearly saw Seo Jeong-hee and the American executive together with Yoo Cheon-young.”

The Dreadlore Guild is already trying to make a thorn in the side of the United States, and this opportunity will be a good excuse to do so.
