00116 Boarding Party

Azin tilts his head for a moment. Who? He opens his eyes and looks at the men and women who are blocking him. He looks at the man with the cracked shoulder and the woman with the nervous face glasses.

“Who are you?”

Ajin smiled first and asked. The man's face twitched. He shrugs and comes at Azin with a loud step. He was a head taller than Ajin and could see the muscles firmer than the clothes he was wearing.

“Luke. ”

In saying that, he was a little surprised. But he soon convinced me. The boarding party invited 20 top players out of 1500 beta testers. Luke was ranked fourth in the final ranking and had his first time in a port city. There's no reason he shouldn't be invited.

“... Asella? ”

Azin glanced at the woman in glasses and asked. He realized how perfect customization was for Sam Avatar. There were only neurotic eyes that resembled Asella in the face of the woman who covered her eyes with glasses. Asella's ranking is not exactly memorable, but she has a pretty high level of accomplishment and joins Luke's party to enter the port city together. She's also qualified to attend the party.

“You know him well. ”

Asella spits out a contemptuous smile. In saying this, he could understand their attitude toward him. Well, I put him through that, but he can't be vindictive. Azin shrugs his face as he touches his mask. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn this way. And few of them seemed to favor him. During the beta test, he made one play hostile, but he didn't make his side.

“What business do you have? ”

I can see why. I mean, there's a lot of grudge and vengeance going on in the game. Ajin smiled suddenly. If you show me that you're shrinking for no reason, I'll just give you more strength over there.

“I want to hear an apology. ”

Luke snaps his neck with exaggerated movements. He straightens his shoulders a bit and distorts his face. It was a muscle mass in the game, but I didn't think it would happen in real life. Azin looks at Luke's sturdy body and sticks out his tongue. I can't deal with this.

“What apology? ”

But I don't want to apologize yet. Luke was cruel enough to avoid the natural gaze of ordinary people, but he had no reason to avoid it. He thinks his revenge was justified, and he's not afraid of Luke.

“I'm talking about what I did that night! ”

Asella shouts. Azin frowns and looks at Asella. Seeing as how I'm so close to believing in Luke's size, my insides twitch a little. But Azin did not reveal him. Although the glabellar frowns, it is concealed through the mask. Instead, he smiles, revealing his white teeth.

“Did I do something that I owe you an apology that night? ”

Azin asks. At this, she turns her eyes upside down, clamoring, and tries to slap him on the cheek. But Luke reaches out and blocks it. Luke picks his breath and says,

“.. I admit to some extent that what we attacked you that night wasn't right, but that doesn't make it right what you did. ”

“In what way? ”

Ajin still smiled. I thought it was a big beast, but then I started imitating a fine gentleman. Or do you just care about the image? Azin looks at Luke's shivering glare. Perhaps the latter. He laughs and thinks. Luke's perception is quite high, although he has been humiliated properly. Then, the first to third place was blinded and the general user did not know who they were. Despite being hidden from the rankings, there are many ways to express yourself, but Devello, Harvest and LaQuiz have not shared video of themselves playing or made contact with anyone else. Are they all stubborn about playing solo?

After all, Luke, who scored the highest level in the rankings he saw, gained considerable awareness. They were the first to discover the boss of the Painful Forest, although they failed, and they also made a name for themselves by posting various playback videos. Unlike individual tendencies, Luke's party played fair. The images created in the beta will continue even at the opening of the full service. It would be to treat Ajin fairly gently. Their awareness will rise even more if they are merciful to their enemies.

Of course, he had no intention of fitting in.

“You played Vimanna. He stole the boss.”

“The boss is not the bank's number card. Doesn't it have to be sequential? ”

I know what you said was contradictory. I also knew it was an inappropriate metaphor. But he scratched Luke's nerves on purpose. If you get angry and run away, it will be Luke's loss. It's an image of Azin. It's a hell of a place to be, but it only enhances Luke's reputation and humiliation if he says he wants to refurbish his image. Luke's shoulders tremble as he watches the agony of bloodshed.

“... slaughtering players in the Thorn Forest.”

“You were the ones who came here to kill me. The thunderstorm that was foolish for no reason, well... was there anything particularly cowardly about it? Is it cowardice to take the head of a master in a situation where many try to persecute me? And then what? I didn't do anything. ”

Azin smiled deliberately. He twists his lips even more as he looks at the shivering Ashela.

“Is it my fault that idiots entered monster territory and were hunted by monsters? ”

Luke doesn't answer. He sighs roughly and distorts his face. Azin's words were contradictory and were merely self-defense. But Luke couldn't argue with him. Funnily enough, it's hard to argue with such blatantly contradictory self-defense. After all, it will be Lord Reading.

“.. you insult us..”

“When I was fighting your party. Was there any negative intervention? ”

Azin decides to wedge.

"You guys are the ones who heard about bringing in NPCs from the knight-class and trying to catch me. So what happened? Well, NPCs were all dead to me, and you were about to get beaten to death by me. “

Azin giggles. Luke's face flushes red and Asella begins to grind his teeth. Listen to the rumbling around you. Most of them were cursing at him. It doesn't matter - one month of beta testing will give him more than he's had in a month.

“You heard me try to kill you. I paid him back just the same. Broken limbs? That I lied? Well, if you're dissatisfied with that, I'll give you my answer. I'm sorry."

Azin bows slightly. Asella, who couldn't resist, shouts and rushes to Azin. He reaches out to grab his hair, but he doesn't get caught. He swivels to his side. Despite running for no reason, Azella can't beat the spirit and rolls the ground.

“Are you satisfied with your apology? ”

Azin spits out his swearing words and stands up, scowling at Asella, looking at Luke. I could use an explosion. Spit it out. Bring it on. Luke stares at him with a red face. You're still tolerating it, right? Ajin smiled and said.

“It's kind of funny, though. Proud that you got hit by me because you were weak.”

“Aah!”

Luke rushes in screaming. You get caught. Azin takes a step back, watching Luke swing his fist. Decreases Luke's image while maintaining his own image. It has nothing to be ashamed of. Azin raises his arm. Phew! My arm is sore and my body falls down.

"It hurts, damn it! ’

Those fucked-up muscles aren't foam. Azin grits his teeth and touches his arm. It doesn't look like it's broken, but it looks like it's bruised. Azin stands up staggering. He smiles sharply, watching Luke exhale.

“That's true. You were weak and I got you, and I just made sure that someone who wanted to kill me got what they deserved. The Executive Group admitted that I acted excessively, but I was defending myself... Isn't this ugly? Bring the problems of the game to life and play like a child. Why, because I'm so big, I'm gonna freak out and do the dishes myself.”

“Son of a bitch! ”

A little thoughtless, but Luke is completely out of his mind. He must have thought of his surroundings. Did he think he could not listen to the insult? Well, I beat him first, but once I make some bread, it'll be revenge. No one will sympathize with azin who has a clear image of the son of a bitch. Azin looks at Luke as he moves his left arm. It was a little awkward, but I couldn't help moving.

I didn't provoke him for nothing. I'm not in the mood to make fun of such a big guy without any confidence. Azin clenches his fist. Before I got stuck in my room, when I went to school. The one who didn't like the twisted azine was cured. I tried not to bore the fight. Fortunately, he was excellent. The battle senses were sharp.

Azine slightly protruded the joint of the middle finger.

Oops! Before Luke rushes in and wields his fist, Ajin moves first. He tugs his foot forward, lowering his torso, and sticking his fist in Luke's crowd, bouncing like a spring. Luke shrouds his face, screaming. Ajin does not stop.

Pubbuck! A short severed fist pounds Luke. It could not move as neatly as in the game, but it had become its own experience and was melted into the body of Azin. His battle senses have accumulated and become sharper, and he knows how to move his body in a duel with Jeremiah and Raw Snow. It is impossible to move as fast as the avatar of a game that has learned to live. However, I have experience.

Every time Azin's fist is stabbed, Luke twists, screaming. Azin remembers being beaten by the smell of Raw Snow. I remembered her touch and tingling. ‘Blood.' Azin knew where to hit him and where to feel great pain. Whenever Azin's fist is lightly stretched, Luke shudders and screams miserably.

“Asshole.”

Azin grins and kicks Luke's thigh. Luke's body falters, his legs creaking and loosening. At that moment, Ajin's fist landed on Luke's face. Luke grips his crouching nose, bleeding and groaning. Azin slaps his fist and looks down at Luke. He opened his eyes wide and saw players looking at him with a frightening face.

“It was self-defense.”

Azin turns to the transcendent who stares at him. They don't say anything, and they look strange. It was the same with Gladiolus. Rather, he was smiling as if it was funny. Azin takes a step back.

“So why are you fighting? ”

Azin turns to Luke, muttering. You hear Luke groaning and Asella groaning and calling out to him. I heard the players chattering. Hearing that, he felt a slight tremor. It was a good feeling. Azin grins.
