Seong Jihan youre broadcasting on BattleTube.

Joo Eunji furrowed her brows.

Now its certain.

Seong Jihan had only pretended to be enchanted, but in reality, he was not affected at all.

I cant drag this on for too long.

The Korean government isnt foolish.

In a situation where a live broadcast is clearly being aired, they surely wouldnt just watch Seong Jihan getting kidnapped in the middle of Gangnam.

If they waste time here, it will be problematic for them.

They needed to handle the situation quickly.

Mr. Seong Jihan, you are quite a headache.

Joo Eunji stood up from her seat.

Her supporting gift.

There were two ways to use Edit.

The first was physical contact.

By touching the skin, one could edit the other persons status without speaking.

She had tried this method on Seong Jihan multiple times.

And when the other person is on guard like now,

Instead of physical contact, there was another method.

Player Seong Jihan, I will Edit you.

Wooong!

The center of the table and the ceiling trembled, flashing in gold.

Different from what Takeda had, there were two hidden Akashic pages.

Using them, Joo Eunjis Edit was applied to Seong Jihan.

[Ito Shizurus avatar has added the Enchantment status to the user. The target of the enchantment is Ito Shizuru.]

[Ito Shizurus avatar has added the Submission status to the user. The target of submission is Ito Shizuru.]

Messages popped up in the system window.

This, all the viewers sharing Seong Jihans perspective could see.

Enchantment Submission?

Ito Shizuru??

Ito? Oh shit, no way?

What? Why does she look so pretty all of a sudden?

Wow Damn

He Huhhhh?!!

From Seong Jihans perspective, affected by Enchantment and Submission, Joo Eunji looked like a goddess without equal.

Stronger than the last time.

If last time she used a single Akashic page to induce Enchantment, Submission, and Blind Devotion.

This time she focused on just Enchantment and Submission with two pages, so the pressure on Seong Jihan was much greater than before.

But, knowing this would happen, its pointless.

Nameless Divine Arts, Heart Method Mind Creates All

Even with the beautifully transformed Joo Eunji in front of him, Seong Jihan remained unmoved and used his Heart Method.

No matter how much Joo Eunji used her Akashic Pages to try to enchant him, her powers were nothing compared to the Succubus Queen.

Since he had been wary of her beforehand, he could overcome this.

Huhhh Huh???

Where did the beauty go?!

Give her back!!

I was watching on my knees, lol. Whats this now?

How can someone look like that?

Stop resisting, Seong Jihan!!

Despite the viewers cries flooding the chat window, Seong Jihan steadfastly used Mind Creates All.

Then, Joo Eunjis appearance reverted from a goddess to her regular face.

Edit Is this Ito Shizurus power?

Out of all the supporting gifts he experienced, this is the most overpowered one.

While Seong Jihan was thinking this, Joo Eunjis eyes widened.

She had thought he would be somewhat affected, but it had no effect at all.

Last time, he was at least a bit affected

She hadnt calculated this.

With such a power, even Sword King Yoon Sejin would have been helpless!

You What did you do?

I see no reason to tell you that.

Seong Jihan reached out.

To the ceiling and the table.

Hidden in two places, the Akashic Pages that hadnt been completely obliterated were sucked into Seong Jihans grasp.

Just these two alone were worth tens of billions.

Since he had come to confront Joo Eunji at the cafe, Seong Jihan decided to take them as trophies.

From Joo Eunjis perspective, they were too precious to be taken away.

I need to subdue Seong Jihan first!

She calmly assessed the situation.

Its fine to buy more Akashic Pages later.

But if Seong Jihan isnt captured now, it would be tough to get him out of Korea.

Even if it means giving up those Fragments of Akasha, she must somehow seize his new recruit.

[Akari, dont worry about the Akashic Pages. Focus on subduing Seong Jihan first!]

[I understand.]

Whoosh!

Akari, who was near Takeda, bridged the space in an instant and lunged at Seong Jihan.

Akaris infiltration was stealthy and swift.

The gap between Seong Jihan and Akari was vast, with at least a difference of over 100 levels.

[Master, hes on the left.]

Seong Jihan, with the gift of the Shadow of the Sun, could easily discern the movements of Akari, an assassin with shadow-related skills.

Add to that his unique stat Force, which lets him use all his power even in the real world, and the ability to control space.

Oh, youre fast, arent you?

Seong Jihan easily dodged Akaris dagger and used Force to pull the Akashic Page Akari held.

[You!]

LOL, so damn cool!

Did you see that? We must report it now!

Isnt Seong Jihan getting kidnapped? I saw that female. Shes Akari, a ninja from Japan!

Wow, I saw it too. Akari chose a worthless profession as an assassin? Shes a top-ranked Diamond player.

Is this a real situation? Report it quickly!

[Akari, ignore the Akashic Pages! Just focus on securing the target!]

[Understood!]

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Akari, as if to show the difference between a Diamond and Silver Rank, swiftly attacked Seong Jihan.

Multiple daggers danced in the air menacingly, and her shadow tried to ensnare Seong Jihan from every direction.

Clang! Clang!

If Seong Jihan hadnt hastily summoned a black sword from his left hand to deflect them all, he wouldve been sliced apart.

Wow shes insanely fast.

Did assassins always rock this much?

Shes supposedly the best for espionage in reality.

But Seong Jihan is holding his own against such a top-ranked player!

Hey, I got his autograph just now! Near the Sword Palace building, address Gangnam District 134

Someone needs to help! Hes about to be kidnapped!

When it was revealed that the opponent was Akari, a top-ranked Diamond assassin, the chat went wild.

However, the actual battle situation wasnt that dire.

Bless. Strengthen. Haste.

Having activated a set of three self-buffs, Seong Jihan confidently clashed swords with Akari.

Tsk

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew as Seong Jihans dark blade, Eclipse, collided with Akaris daggers.

Akari undoubtedly had the upper hand in terms of stats.

Whether it was the speed of their blades or the power felt when their weapons clashed, Akari had a clear advantage.

However,

This doesnt make sense.

From a third persons perspective outside,

Akari, as a participant, could clearly feel it.

She was being blocked.

All her attacks were not just being blocked but also being read completely by her opponent.

Am I slower than him?

No.

Im much faster.

Is my power weaker?

Thats not the case either.

I can push him back.

But why?

Clang!

Even though I definitely mixed several faint attacks and launched a proper blow.

Im being pushed back.

Even though I can push, Im being pushed.

It was as if two contradictory statements were coming true at the same time.

However, when I swing my weapon, I realize.

With every blow, I was already within my opponents calculation.

How can this be!

In terms of the games rank, even though its diamond and silver.

In the art of handling weapons, theres already a clear difference.

Yes.

That was the gap in skill being compensated by the users technique.

If this is how its going to be, Ill go in with the intent to kill!

Akari pressed Seong Jihan even more threateningly.

At first, she consciously avoided the vitals, but now she attacked regardless.

She actively carried out ambushes using shadows.

But.

Clang- Cl-clang-!

Its all the same anyway.

Even with genuine attacks, everything was blocked.

His movements, as if reading into my mind, rendered all my actions useless.

It cant be

Unknowingly, Akaris strength was drained.

Its laughable for an assassin to engage in a head-on battle.

As Seong Jihan jeered, Akaris eyebrows twitched in anger.

She didnt fully understand what the Korean man was saying.

But it was clear he was taunting.

She cant lose like this.

By any means, she would overpower him.

She used her most confident skill.

Ninjutsu: Illusion Shuriken.

Whish!

Black throwing knives flew towards Seong Jihan from all directions.

Some were real, and others werent.

An assassins skill, the Illusion Shuriken, is a perfect mix of illusion and reality.

However, Seong Jihan had an easy way to counter it.

Ariel.

[Only the last two are real.]

You can handle it, right?

[Of course.]

Ariel, who boasts unparalleled abilities with shadow powers.

She discerned all of Akaris illusions and blocked all attacks flying from behind Seong Jihan.

Whoosh!

From the Dark Sword Eclipse, the shadow flew out to block the throwing knives.

Clang!

With a black sword strike, he pushed Akari back.

[Ugh!]

Woah. This is insane. Hes facing a Diamond Rank player?

I even called 112 and 119, petitioned the Blue House asking to save Seong Jihan was it all in vain?

No, you did good. Thats normal. Its just that Seong Jihan is crazy.

You cant insult Seong Jihan!

Dude, that was a compliment.

Feels like theyre going even harder than the Sword Kings fans, right? Lol.

Seong Jihans fans, who couldnt even tolerate minor insults, became even more agitated.

How could a Silver Rank overpower a Diamond Rank?

Clearly, the enemys stats are stronger and faster.

But Seong Jihan is pushing her back with his unique movements.

[Akari! Ill boost you. Win this round!]

Joo Eunji shouted at Akari, who was slowly being pushed back.

Initially, she was watching out of respect for Akari, a Diamond Rank, but the situation changed.

Because Akari was gradually losing her 1:1 duel with Seong Jihan.

I cant believe this.

Joo Eunjis eyes were filled with surprise.

But they also gleamed with excitement.

Seong Jihan. You I must have you.

He broke all predictions.

He even overcame the supporting gift Edit enhanced by the Akashic page.

He was even turning the attack from the Diamond Rank Akari to his advantage.

This player is an anomaly.

If hes not captured now, there will be regrets later.

Joo Eunji used her last resort.

[Player Kato Akari. Ill Edit you and lift the tutorials restriction.]

This time, what she edited was not Seong Jihan.

It was Akari, who was restricted by the tutorial phase and couldnt fully utilize her BattleNet capabilities.
