Chapter 164

They stare at each other from arm’s reach. At that moment, the man at the very front of the unfamiliar users suddenly widened his eyes and charged forward aggressively. Just as Yura, surprised, drew her sword and was about to swing it.

“Yura-nim! You are Yura-nim, right?”

The large man twisted his body, wearing a beaming expression. At that moment, the eyes of the men behind him changed. As if they couldn’t believe it, they approached and began to check Yura’s face.

“I, it’s really Yura-nim!”

“Oh, oh! It’s Yura! Yura-nim has appeared!”

“I, I’m a really big fan!”

As soon as they confirmed it, they all seemed to lose their minds, each of them revealing their shy feelings with their large physiques.

Yura, momentarily stunned, stepped back.

“…….”

But it wasn’t over yet.

There were other men further back. They also shouted and cheered when they saw Yura.

“Uwaaaaa!”

The commotion continued for quite a while.

“Ah, th, thank you.”

Yura, regaining her senses, smiled gently.

More men than she had expected.

The exact number was 32.

“Is this perhaps the World of Illusion?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Da, daebak! Am I going to be on it too?”

“Ye, well…….”

At first, she was wary, but as she talked to them, she realized that these rough-looking men were more innocent than she thought.

Eventually, she let down her guard and shared various stories with them.

“By the way, be careful. There are monsters ahead.”

“Thank you.”

“No, no need to thank me. Hehe.”

The man blushed and smiled.

“Ah, right. I was just talking, and the introduction was late. We are the Al Buja Guild! I am Mutjin-nom, the leader of the Al Buja Guild!”

“Pardon?”

“Ah, my character name is Mutjin-nom. Haha.”

“Hehe, I see. That’s a funny name.”

“Haha, yes. You could say I’m a Mutjin-nom, a soft man when you get to know me.”

“Pardon?”

Al Buja, a soft man when you get to know him.

It was a kind of abbreviation.

Yura, realizing it belatedly, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Pu, pu-hut!”

At that sight, the Al Buja Guild members cheered.

“Y, Yura-nim smiled!”

“An angel’s smile……!”

The expressions of the other people watching from behind were rotting away as time passed.

A short while later.

The short but truly long conversation with the Al Buja Guild ended.

“Then, if we have the chance, let’s meet again next time.”

“Oh, oh. Even her heart is beautiful!”

“Angel-nim, no, Yura-nim. We’ll be going now!”

“Ah, yes. Be careful.”

“Thank you!”

They kept glancing back at Yura as they left. Each time, their faces turned red, and the strength in their eyes faded.

But it wasn’t like she felt bad. She couldn’t feel any lewdness in their gazes. Of course, it was a bit excessive, though.

After they left, Yura said.

“They were fun people.”

Kim Min-ho PD sighed.

“Hoo, anyway, I’m glad there weren’t any problems. Let’s start again.”

“Yes.”

Everyone, including Yura, moved their feet. Until then, one of the Al Buja Guild members, who was still glancing at Yura, couldn’t hide his regretful expression and turned his head forward.

At that moment, one thing he had forgotten came to mind, and he involuntarily exclaimed.

“Ah, damn it……!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Th, this is a disaster. A disaster!”

“What’s the matter!”

“Screenshots, there’s a screenshot function too!”

The Illusion system has video recording and screenshot functions.

“Ah, that’s right!”

“Uwaaaaak! Damn it! We should have taken a screenshot together!”

“Why didn’t you think of it sooner! Maknae!”

“Hy, hyung-nim. I’m sorry!”

“Not hyung-nim, Guild Leader-nim!”

“Ah, yes. Guild Leader-nim!”

The Al Buja Guild Leader, with a gloomy expression, turned his head.

“Shall we, go back?”

“Pardon?”

“Is it already too late?”

“Yes, they might have already entered another fork in the road…….”

“Heo-eo.”

It was when he was repeatedly lamenting.

Thud.

Another group appeared from the direction Yura had come from.

“Hmm? Another user.”

“Yes, hyung-nim. No, Guild Leader-nim.”

“Ahem, yes. Anyway, let’s just pass by nicely without fighting.”

“Yes!”

He answered and moved his feet.

The exact number of the approaching group was 20, and they were all wearing robes pulled down low.

The atmosphere was strangely eerie, but the Al Buja Guild currently had 32 members, which was more than them, so they didn’t pay much attention.

Even if they had more numbers, they wouldn’t have cared. They had the mindset that if someone picked a fight, they would accept it.

They were confident.

Also, it’s just a game anyway.

Soon, they reached close proximity.

Glance.

It was the moment they were about to pass by after just taking a look. The users wearing robes suddenly disappeared, and almost simultaneously, an explosion was heard from behind.

Kwaaaang!

Surprised, he turned his head and saw that several Al Buja Guild members were seriously injured. Their arms and legs were cut off, and as a result, they couldn’t properly cope with the subsequent attacks from the unfamiliar users.

In particular, the maknae’s condition was severe. Both arms were cut off, and one ear was also missing.

While he was momentarily flustered, a finger flew and pierced his eye, and he shuddered at the feeling of it moving inside.

Subsequently, his eyeball was torn out, and a very slight pain rose. The problem was the emotion of fear, which far exceeded that pain.

“Euh, euaaaak!”

In that instant, he forgot that this was virtual.

That this was the world inside the Illusion game.

“M, my eyes. My eyes!”

The fallen arm disrupts his balance.

Subsequently, his vision disappeared as even the remaining eyeball was plucked out.

He felt a cutting sensation, and he realized that one of the sturdy legs that had been supporting his body was gone.

His body staggered and fell.

Koong.

Fear and pain weighed down on his shoulders.

“Sa, save me. Save me, hyung-nim!”

“Y, you bastards!”

The Al Buja Guild members, belatedly regaining their senses, hurriedly moved to save their younger brothers.

“Heal first!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s wipe out those bastards!”

Magic was unleashed, and arrows containing powerful force were fired at the unfamiliar users, but they all dodged them too easily.

Their movements were no joke.

“That’s all you’ve got……!”

The Al Buja Guild Leader, Mutjin-nom, also intended to face the enemies at the forefront. He happened to encounter one, and he immediately clenched his fist tightly.

Click.

Sharp blades popped out from the knuckles.

After approaching using the skill Nimble Steps, he lightly extended his left hand.

The user wearing a robe raised a dagger and lightly deflected it. Then, not only the dagger but also the wrist of the unfamiliar user holding the dagger froze.

In the moment his body stiffened, Mutjin-nom swung his right fist and struck the unfamiliar user’s face.

Not only did the knuckles cause a deep wound, but the area around the face froze, and cold air soared.

Moreover, the power was also loaded, and the unfamiliar user staggered, lost his balance, and fell.

At that sight, the Al Buja Guild members cheered and raised their momentum.

“It’s nothing!”

“Wipe them out!”

The Al Buja Guild Leader approached the fallen man.

“Why are you picking a fight?”

At that moment, the unfamiliar man raises his head.

The eyes and the curled corners of his mouth that are barely visible through the robe.

Hmph.

Guild Leader Mutjin-nom’s eyes shook.

That was madness.

The guy stained with madness raised his body and laughed.

“Because, it’s a game.”

“What?”

“It’s just a game anyway, right?”

With those words, the unfamiliar user charged.

Pabababat.

He was much faster and stronger than when they had faced him earlier.

He was somehow managing to respond, but he was even more amazed at himself for blocking or dodging the attacks.

It was that difficult to keep up with the opponent’s movements.

“Eu, eu-euk!”

Eventually, he couldn’t hold out for long and was wounded.

Little by little, and little by little.

His HP had already dropped below half.

“Do, Dongsik-ah. Heal!”

“…….”

He needed a heal, but there was no response.

“Keueok!”

Eventually, his HP hit the bottom, and he collapsed on the spot.

Why didn’t he heal him?

With a slightly resentful heart, he turned his head back, and at that moment, he could see it.

The butchered figures of his guild members, gradually fading away.

“Ah……”

At that moment, the dagger that was plunged down tore his stomach.

Extreme fear dominated his brain.

“Wh, why…….”

Showing the entrails being pulled out from there, the unfamiliar user laughed.

“I told you. It’s just a game anyway.”

“What does that……!”

“Ah, was my word difficult?”

“Keu, keueup…….”

“Okay, let’s just call it fun. Let’s just say it’s fun.”

Those words pierced his eardrums.

Fun……!

Soon, all senses disappeared, and he was logged out.

The twenty users who finished the massacre.

“Now, what delicious guys will appear next…….”

Their madness was not over yet.

Muhyuk and Sungminwoo, advancing without knowing anything. And the program staff, including Yura, decided to choose the right path again at the fork that appeared once more.

“We have to keep going to the right.”

“We have to.”

They also met a variant Hydra there.

Thanks to becoming a little more familiar with it through several battles, it wasn’t that difficult.

[Experience increases.]

The dead variant Hydra.

Muhyuk, who approached him, performed corpse decomposition.

[Acquired ‘Variant Hydra Bone (x1)’.]

He replaced it with Armor Knight’s bone that matched the characteristic.

“Okay, let’s start by searching the vicinity.”

“Yeee.”

It was a rather tired answer, but that didn’t mean they were careless in their search.

They carefully examined the floor, walls, and ceiling, but there was nothing special.

“There’s nothing here?”

At those words, Kim Min-ho PD gestured again.

“Then shall we take a break for a while? It seems like our hunger level has also decreased.”

“Ah, it’s already time…….”

Eventually, they briefly stopped recording.

One of the female users who came along as a program staff member decided to cook, but Muhyuk forcibly moved his body to raise the level of his skills.

“I’ll help you.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Together, they cooked this and that.

Yura, who was sitting and watching, joined in.

“I’ll help too!”

“Oh my, Yura-ssi too?”

“Yes, I don’t have any skills, but…….”

“Thank you. Then this and this…….”

“Yes!”

The three of them were engrossed in cooking.

Did my experience go up a bit?

[Cooking 13Lv(98%)]

In order to make more delicious food, effort is needed.

Now, if I do a little more, I’ll be level 14.

Crafting is 12. Repair is 11.

After exceeding level 10, it was growing at an incredibly slow pace.

Well, time will solve it.

Erasing the thoughts about skill levels, he began to distribute the made food to his colleagues.

The people who received and ate the food all wore happy smiles.

“Wow, this is delicious?”

“Wow, this is amazing!”

Everyone filled their stomachs with satisfaction.

Their hunger levels also rose.

“Then let’s go again.”

With Kim Min-ho PD’s words, recording started again.

They continued to advance, repeating hunting and choosing the right path at the fork.

They occasionally encountered users, but the things they were worried about didn’t happen.

“Hoo, I’m tired.”

“Because it’s already 10 o’clock.”

It was time for the exploration that started in the morning to come to an end.

“Are you tired?”

At Kim Min-ho PD’s words, everyone nodded.

“Let’s stop here today.”

At that, expressions of relief bloomed from all sides. They had spent the whole day hunting monsters, so it was only natural that fatigue would accumulate.

Stress had also accumulated because they couldn’t find even a small trace of the treasure they had been expecting.

“Then I will log out from this spot.”

“Yes.”

“Please unify the connection at 8 a.m.”

“Okay.”

In that way, one by one, they left Illusion.

The last three people.

Yura, Muhyuk, and Sungminwoo.

“See you tomorrow, Muhyuk-ssi.”

“Yes.”

“Goodbye, Yura-ssi.”

“Minwoo-ssi too.”

Soon, she also left.

Muhyuk and Sungminwoo, who remained until the end, looked at each other and nodded.

“Skeleton Summon.”

“Spirit Summon.”

They scattered the summoned creatures in all directions.
