Level Up

“What an unusual place. ”

Edan shakes his head, looking at the door that is raised in front of him.

In fact, I've been to the Vortex black market a few times. But every time I came, I still felt the awe and mystery.

It was the same now.

How can a person cross that wall and go to another place?

‘I feel like a dungeon...' ’

Players who've been here at least once have the same idea as Edan if it were 100.

The black market for the vortex would be the black market for the dungeon.

In fact, when you go to the Vortex black market, it feels like a dungeon. But if it's a dungeon, it's not a black hole. It's a real-world world without black hole harmony.

There is heaven and earth. And there's a huge castle. But it was nowhere to be found by satellite.

So how mysterious. There were times when the vortex black market guys who created such a place admired it.

Edan clears his mind and clears his face. Now was not the time to be sentimental.

“Let's go.”

Edan opens the door first and walks to the wall. His body seeps into the wall.

He's on the black market for the vortex. If a signal is sent somewhere every time someone enters, it becomes an advertisement that they are entering the black market.

But I had to put up with it. I couldn't help but find a real place.

Even the location of the Vortex black market was nowhere to be found, not even Michael, who went in and fought back in a big fight.

When I asked Michael about the identity of the Vortex black market, he looked relaxed.

As a result, Michael left a vague answer, both like and not like a dungeon.

The rest of the players enter Edan's rear.

And then there were 14 of Michael's players.

Everyone in the room has entered the Vortex black market.

They all go in and some time passes.

There was a commotion in the hallway. It was the sound of many people moving fast.

After a while, 101 men entered the room.

They didn't reveal their faces with their thick hoods, but they were well-armed players with pretty good equipment.

“Did everyone check the equipment? ”

Everyone glared at Kettler for that question. I didn't have to answer out loud. I was able to exchange simple communications with just my eyes.

“Good. We'll all go in then. They're here to ambush us. Try hitting them in the back. ”

Kettler finally jumps into the Vortex black market. 100 Arphor Knights follow suit.

* * *

Edan frowns as soon as he enters the black market. I came in at night, and it was day here.

And then I heard that the black market of the vortex wouldn't be in the United States.

It was quite different day and night from New York.

However, it was often used as evidence that there was day and night, not the dungeon itself.

“Is everyone here? ”

Edan asks, turning around and checking on his colleagues. Every one of them came in.

“It's time to clean up. ”

Edan says so, and quickly runs forward.

All you have to do is pass through a vast field in front of you and go to that castle.

That castle will be destroyed today.

And everyone in that castle will die today. It doesn't matter who's connected to the black market of the vortex, whether they're just guests.

101 players lead Edan through the field quickly.

They believed they could reach the castle in no time. But I couldn't.

52517;!

Suddenly, the horses protruding up and out of the forest prevented their rush.

Edan is surprised. It's because the horses appeared without any skill.

But if it was a dangerous situation, it wasn't either.

The horses appear too weak to deal with Edan's group.

“You said there were horses living in the black market of the vortex, and it was true! ”

It was really amazing to see real horseshoes while I was just hearing about them.

Moreover, the fact that the demons are attacking themselves means they are guarding this place.

These horses just never attack their customers. No, it doesn't reveal itself.

Sugar angle!

Edan's sword blew the heads off of three horses.

It was a human-shaped sorcerer with a rat's face, but it wasn't very strong.

But it was so numerous and organized that I couldn't kill it so easily.

“This doesn't mean anything! ”

Edan slaughtered the horses, moving much more aggressively.

I can't believe you tried to defend this place with your bare hands.

But Edan should know. That's enough for them.

The real purpose of these horses was to buy time.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Suddenly, Edan and other players were startled by the massive stream of magical power pushed from behind.

“Ambush!”

“Stop him!"

You hear a loud shout, followed by the sound of the weapon slicing through the air.

Whoo-hoo!

Sugar Gaga!

The players' arms and legs flew away with their necks intact.

Those who appeared, the Arphor Knights did not show mercy or compassion in their dealings with their enemies.

They slaughtered the enemies with their ruthless looks.

With the same numbers, better cars and better equipment, Edan's party is unlikely to beat the Arphor Knights.

The Arphor Knights literally wiped out Edan and 100 players.

And as Edan's party fights like that, there are 14 players just passing by and quietly advancing forward.

* * *

Hyun-seok was sitting on top of the spire of the castle. It was also a place where the black market here in the vortex was visible at first sight.

Edan's group fights from afar.

The horses block Edan's group's feet, and the Arphor Knights swoop in for just that amount of time.

Edan's party is almost unilaterally defeated. But they were also moderately elite, so there was no resistance at all.

It means it took the Arphor Knights long enough to clear them all out.

In fact, it took a long time for the skilled car to become that remarkable because of a few of Edan's skills.

The more they work together, the more defensive they become. There is also a small chance that a shield will be created that will completely prevent the enemy's attack.

The shield breaks beyond its limits, but it's never easy to smash it to pieces.

Edan's party also had a fraudulent skill in a group war called advanced calibration skills.

A skill that can be used to subtly intervene and keep pace with a player's movements.

Those skills made me endure it somehow, but it was also a matter of time.

Hyun-seok turns off his nerves on Edan's side. You won't last 10 minutes.

‘That's when they are. ’

While Edan's party is dealing with the horses, there are 14 players rushing to the castle on a slight detour.

Other horses appear in front of them, but they just wipe them out.

Hyun-seok made sure that no more water supplies appeared in front of them.

The horses here were all loyal slaves of the realm. I was able to control the horses by just sending a message.

“I'm surprised there are so many people with that level. ”

Unfortunately, their information contained the description that they were raised by Michael.

There was only the explanation that it was a rapidly growing player. So I didn't think much about it either.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now. It's important to get rid of them all.

They're probably one of the most powerful cards that Lexton can draw.

‘You're not going to be easy anymore. ’

After the work of Yang Tong-wook, who is secretly moving at the moment, Lexton's energy will have to be as urgent as falling on the back of his foot.

And I will no longer be able to use my efforts to destroy the future industry.

Until, of course, you get a new stable stone refining recipe.

I will probably try to do something much more dirty in the future in order to obtain that purification method.

But that's better. I'll be able to do other things while keeping the refinement.

The purpose of this matter was to give Yang Yang Wook time to sigh. So he can start a new business and put a knife to Lexton's throat.

“Then... shall we see what the Shadow can do this time?" ”

Shaten emerges out of the shadows, terrified of the end of his words.

He bows politely to Hyun-seok, giving an example, and without even ordering, he pulls out his shadow.

Exactly 14 shadows appeared.

Shaten didn't even give the order. However, the shadows immediately move as if they had been commanded.

They cling to the wall like shadows and move along the wall. It was as if the shadow was really moving along the wall.

The shadows come down from the castle and move on the floor. They really were the shadows themselves.

Shadows arrive in front of 14 players at an incredible speed.

They each took one of the players and immediately jumped up.

Aaaaah!

Fourteen players whirled their swords in a sudden, black shadow.

Blah blah blah!

The Shadow Strike is blocked like that. But 14 players also stopped.

They frown. And I was so nervous.

I just felt it, mixing my hands once. The Black Ones that appeared were really strong.

“Damn it. Failure. ”

Someone mutters. Everyone doesn't talk back, but they know enough.

Without these people in the way, we could have returned with some success, even if we didn't have perfect success.

But I really couldn't do anything about it. And it was extremely unlikely to be able to do anything in the future.

Once the rest of Edan's party is gone, the ones who took care of them can't just sit back and wait.

But we have to try. Everyone grabbed hold of the weapon in their hands.

Fourteen players had different weapons. And everyone was different. I didn't even know we were fighting together.

So I decided it was better to just split up and fight.

Everyone scattered and rushed to their shadows.

Whip, whip, whip!

The violent hissing continues.

Shadow skills were considerable, but even 14 players were inferior.

So the fight was getting longer than I thought.

Hyundai looks at it from the top of the spire and nods. This gave me a rough idea of the power of the shadow.

The shadows were a little short compared to the Arphor Knights. However, their specialty was not a frontal match.

It was commendable enough to fight this much in a frontal battle, rather than a specialist.

“Then let's test your skills. ”

At the end of the syllable, fourteen more shadows escaped from Shaten's body.

They also rode on walls and floors. And they sat behind 14 players and infiltrated their shadows.

A shadow pops up. And stabbed the player in the back with a knife.

A player has died in vain.

The only reason the shadow came out was because the player was gaping.

Shadows protrude out and stab the players in the back.

Fourteen players collapsed almost instantly.

Hyun-seok looks at all of them and nods. Indeed, the power of the shadow was an ambush.

Even a player of that level didn't notice the surprise. Of course, it could have been because of the shadow in front of you, but it was a great ability to hide and ambush.

Hyun-Seok stared at Chaten with fresh eyes.

Shaten is stronger than all those shadows combined. So what kind of an entity can we ambush?

Can that unknown player be taken out in an ambush? ’

Suddenly I was curious about it.

Hyun-seok turned his gaze down again. The fight is over. The Arphor Knights are cleaning up the battlefield.

‘Now I wonder how Lexton's energy will be generated. ’

The attack ends in failure because you sharpened your teeth. Should we be preparing for another raid?

The mouth of the stone rose.

‘I hope so. ’

This time, I was going to fight myself. And I wanted the unknown player to come.

‘I think it's about time I showed up...... Is there something else? ’

If this was the case, it would be the order for that powerful unknown player to take a step forward.

But what's not showing up might mean that there's a bigger problem with Lexton's energy.

Or something happened to that unknown player.

His gaze sank deep.

The End of The Vortex Raid
