Chapter 426
Chapter 426
A tie for 4th place.
Wondering how this could be, Kyou's Party and the Embris Party looked at each other.
The atmosphere in the chat window was similar.
And the gazes looking at Michael as if demanding an explanation increased.
As if he knew this would happen, Michael immediately threw in a comment.
"The scores are identical down to three decimal places…… so coincidentally, it had to be decided like this."
"Ah……."
"That is……."
A few people said so as if letting out sighs, and Seonghyun also nodded, thinking that made sense, while looking at them.
Naturally, Kyou's Party and the Embris Party were looking at each other with somewhat dissatisfied expressions.
Looking like they wanted to settle the score somehow.
Seonghyun didn't particularly care, so he was watching while wondering if it was that important, but.
Helena, who had returned to the Underworld, spoke to Seonghyun as if she had been watching this situation.
-Hierarchy relationships are important, Seonghyun.
At Helena's words, Seonghyun tilted his head as if asking what she meant.
As far as Seonghyun knew, Helena also didn't particularly distinguish hierarchies among her vassals.
To think hierarchy is important?
As Seonghyun was having such thoughts.
Helena continued speaking to him.
-That is exactly where I made a mistake too. I didn't particularly establish a hierarchy so that everyone would get along, but I feel like if I had, they might have united as one and maintained good relationships until now…… That's why I'm saying it's important.
Helena, who felt its importance even more keenly because she failed to do it herself.
Seonghyun also nodded as if he finally understood those words.
Since Luna took 1st place among the backup teams, they would follow Luna, but both Kyou and Embris were types with strong pride.
It meant that if it continued like this, cracks could eventually form.
Seonghyun acknowledged that too.
So in that situation where everyone was feeling troubled and wondering what to do, Seonghyun stepped forward and said.
"Then how about doing this?"
At Seonghyun's sudden intervention, everyone turned their gazes.
The chat window was the same.
-Oh???
-Is there something???
-Are they not ending the broadcast???
-Additional broadcast?!
-Don't get your hopes up!!! You'll only get disappointed if you do!!!
-Please!!!
Although some were saying not to get their hopes up.
It was a situation where they couldn't help but anticipate.
Around the time everyone was anticipating.
Seonghyun spoke personally.
"How about we postpone the end of the broadcast a bit and hold a special event?"
At Seonghyun's words, everyone's eyes shone.
Luna put on a slightly concerned expression, but didn't particularly step forward to say anything.
Since contradicting the words of Seonghyun, who could be called the leader, could potentially break the balance, she didn't say anything, and rather, the rest of them were watching as if finding it interesting.
In particular, the eyes of Kyou's Party and the Embris Party were intense.
Because at this point, there could only be one thing meant by a special event.
And sure enough.
"I think it would be good for the two teams to have a match. Since there is a duel system that can resolve disputes between parties."
At Dohyun's words, both parties' eyes shone.
They had never fought each other seriously until now since they were in the same backup team, but.
If they had the permission of Seonghyun, who could be called the owner of this backup team, it was a different story.
An opportunity to fully see whose party was stronger.
Such an opportunity did not come by easily.
They had to seize this opportunity and settle the hierarchy.
And naturally, the chat window heated up as well.
-Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-This is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Keuheueueu!!!!!!
-I was anticipating this!!!!!
-Yeah, it feels unresolved to end in a tie like this!!!!!!
-Let's go all the way and see who wins!!!!
-If it goes all the way, Kyou wins!!!!
-Don't underestimate Embris!!! We win!!!!
-Kyou wins!!!
-Embris wins!!!
The chat window continued with chats cheering for each other, and seeing the chats of such hot and passionate cheers, Michael also quickly made a judgment and shouted.
"Now! Then the special event match! Kyou's Party versus the Embris Party! The Embris Party versus! Kyou's Party! The match is about to begin!!!"
As Michael shouted like that, the Embris Party and Kyou's Party gathered together while preparing themselves respectively, and Seonghyun and the Luna team headed toward where Michael was.
As Seonghyun and the Luna team also headed to the relay team where Michael was, Seonghyun said.
"For now, I will give you 1 minute of discussion time with each other."
Saying he was giving them that time since they needed to coordinate their strategies and teamwork.
Both parties accepted without declining.
And as they watched them discussing with each other.
Michael asked Seonghyun.
"Ahhh, Demon King-nim, which team do you see as having the advantage?"
It could essentially be called a decisive question.
Because depending on how he answered Michael's question, it could become biased.
However, Seonghyun spoke without thinking much of it.
"Hmm, looking only at teamwork, Embris-nim's party can be seen as stronger. However, when looking at individual skills, Kyou's Party definitely has the upper hand. So I think that might be why their contribution values were identical down to three decimal places."
"Ahhh, so you mean it cannot be easily judged!!!"
"Yes, that's right."
As Seonghyun said so as if anticipating it.
Michael also nodded his head.
-The outcome is still unknown!
-A fierce battle that even the Demon King finds hard to judge!!!
-Wow, I'm looking forward to it.
-Seriously, who will win?
-The important thing is that it wouldn't be strange no matter who wins.
The chat window also couldn't hide its highly excited signs, and Michael, who was relaying, was the same.
Perhaps because of that?
Michael immediately turned the microphone and brought it to Luna, who was standing beside Seonghyun as if assisting him.
And so.
"How do you view this, Luna-nim!?"
"Y-Yes!?"
Luna was startled as the microphone suddenly turned to her, but.
Although she was quite flustered at first, she soon answered familiarly.
"As Seonghyun-nim said, both have their own strengths, so the point is that it's hard to distinguish superiority or inferiority if we only look at those strengths. I think it will change depending on how each party leader comes out."
As Michael did not withdraw the microphone, as if asking what she meant by those words.
Luna continued to speak.
"Kyou-nim is far more outstanding in combat sense and reading the tide of battle. In terms of such instincts and senses, he can be called a genius. However, he is definitely lacking in tactics or giving orders during engagements. On the other hand, Embris-nim is quite excellent in tactics and orders, but her combat sense is certainly lacking compared to Kyou-nim."
At Luna's explanation, which elaborated on Seonghyun's words a bit more specifically, Michael nodded his head.
It definitely seemed to depend on what each person did.
Here, Luna's final words followed.
"If Kyou-nim refines his tactics a little more, it seems Kyou's Party will win, and if Embris-nim's sense shines brighter, it seems the Embris Party will win."
"Ahhh, so your opinion is that the party that compensates for their shortcomings even a little will win."
"Yes, that's right."
At Luna's words, Michael nodded his head as if he understood, and Seonghyun also nodded his head as if he agreed.
And while the three of them were chatting like that.
Perhaps 1 minute had finally passed, as both parties finished their discussions.
Naturally, the viewers who saw that began to heat up again.
Thinking that the match was finally starting.
Seonghyun was also watching as if finding it quite interesting.
'This looks more fun than I thought?'
As he was having such thoughts and watching.
Michael said to Seonghyun.
"Then will Demon King-nim make the starting declaration!?"
"Ah? Sure."
As Seonghyun said so and gestured with his hand, a curtain of darkness blocked the space between the two parties.
Even though it happened in an instant.
Neither party was surprised, and instead, they glared at the curtain of darkness while imagining the other party beyond it.
As such a brief standoff continued.
Seonghyun shouted.
"Start."
Along with Seonghyun's words, the curtain of darkness disappeared as if it had never been there.
And the moment the two parties could confirm each other's presence.
Kyou's lightning, which could be called the fastest, flashed and shot out.
The speed of the lightning flew in at a formidable pace, difficult to even perceive, but as if having already anticipated it, a curtain of blood unfolded like the curtain of darkness and wrapped around the entire Embris Party.
However, the curtain of blood that looked thin.
Sure enough.
Kwajijijijiji———!!!
The lightning tore through Embris's curtain of blood like a piece of paper, and Kim Chegeon and Meilin rushed in holding a sword and a spear of light respectively, but both of their eyes widened in surprise.
The entire Embris Party, who should have been hiding behind the curtain, had disappeared.
Thinking it was teleportation, they quickly looked around, but they couldn't even feel their presence.
Belatedly, the assassination-class Kurosawa Ren tried to quickly break the stealth, but it was already too late.
The Embris Party popped out from the blood pooling on the floor, which they hadn't seen well because the cavity here was dark, and that location was none other than right behind Kurosawa Ren's back.
The moment Kurosawa Ren realized it was too late and judged he had to launch an attack even if he was hit.
A baptism of blood poured down.
And at that moment.
Pyushushushushushushu——!!!
Kwajijijijijiji———!!!
Lightning, second to none in terms of speed, flashed.
It poured down toward the baptism of blood, and the baptism of blood and the baptism of lightning collided in the empty air, scattering a thick blood mist in the surroundings.
