Though the trait of Lord seemed overpowered, there were still a few limitations.

Since if the order is too extreme then their self-defense mechanisms will activate and break the symbol.

Due to a few more limitations other than these, even a Lord couldn’t show invincible-like abilities in an area of people around the same skill level as him.

People who bloom the trait much faster and use this as a base to start with a huge head start compared to others.

was one of them as well.

Though he was a crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

Out of the 9000 people who had gotten to the second tutorial area, only 300 people, excluding the 200 of his clansmen, survived due to this guy.

And with a very simple philosophy as the basis.

A result that came out from a personality that could not trust others, amazing potential and ruthlessness.

Usually people prepared and grouped up in large mobs after calculating the fact that they had to fight against the people who had gone missing before them but this guy was not like that.

Would they have made it so they would survive if they grouped up in a crowd of 3000 but kill them if they roamed around alone?

If there was some sort of consistency in the fairy’s actions then such things won’t happen.

An area which would make it possible for the newcomers to be able to rival the people ahead.

And his calculations weren’t wrong, he had gained an infamous t.i.tle by the time he had arrived at the purple area just within 5 years of coming out of the tutorial area.

An infamous t.i.tle which he had received after hunting down Lords fervently due to his personality, which hated Lords to the point where it was weird, despite him being one, along with his notions of destroying possible future rivals.

He had even killed normal adventurers whenever he saw them with the reason of them having the potential to become dangerous as well.

Keldian’s words came to his mind.

But it’ll be a huge loss if he didn’t get the thing he was going for while following that guy around.

He had to differentiate clearly between the main mission and sub-missions.

Since everyone who had met with his clan had died.

But there was one place where his objectives of the Final Dungeon and that guy’s path would cross for sure.

A place where the biggest amount of Lords had gathered.

If he had some form of logic then he would’ve taken the Lords as hostage and would have used their forces but this guy would kill them all since he hated them to no end.

He had set them up so they grouped and guarded against each other and had always hunted near the dungeon so he could rush back because he didn’t know which one of the twelve was the Fraud Lord.

Since the hardness of Crystal was not something somebody normal could smash, it was only because it was him that he was able to smash it apart.

‘I had thought that he didn’t exist because he didn’t come out…’

It seemed like he had been looking for the final chance like Keldian had said.

Since it wasn’t possible for him to act when there was no danger.

He wasn’t sure because the decision of using up all their mini-crystals was a very reasonable method but Guktae was the Fraud Lord.

He couldn’t stay away from the Demon Lord for a long time.

And if he were to dash up there then they just needed to do one thing.

‘It would be troublesome if that happens. First… I will open a path for you to live.’

Hansoo smiled as he shouted loudly while continuing to fight the Demon Lord.

“…?”

‘What else could he do in such a situation?’

And the next answer was something which exceeded his calculations.

Guktae flinched at these words.

He was acting like this because he couldn’t go against his Lord’s orders.

“There are crystals on me. I will give them to you.”

‘Is he crazy?’

Hansoo spoke again.

Everyone nodded at these words.

Since there wasn’t anyone who wouldn’t comply if there was a blade up against their necks.

“The terms are very simple. First, you take the Lords up with the crystals. Then you threaten the Lords up there and order the special forces to kill the Demon Lord with me. Simple right? Then every force here can go through the crystal and survive.”

“Then your Lord is basically gaining nine Lord’s worth of forces. And I get to hunt the Demon Lord.

“…”

Guktae clicked his tongue inwardly.

Since his Lord had hated Lords to the point where it was weird.

But the temptation of crystals were too strong.

‘If I go up, hunt the Demon Lords with the clansmen of these guys and kill him by attacking his back at the last moment?’

Take the forces of the Nine Lords up, use them for a while, kill them off, collect their artifacts and runes and give them to Wongyung and kill the Lords too.

But the one who had moved first was Taejin who had been fighting with him.

Guktae shrugged at Taejin’s words.

“Don’t trust me then. If you don’t want to then we’ll just kill the nine according to the plans and I can also just die like that. And the remaining 1000 here would all die. Maybe it’s not even 1000 anymore. I’m not sure if you guys can hold out, it seems like there’s still 20 minutes left.”

‘d.a.m.n r.e.t.a.r.ds… getting caught as hostages.’

Their actions weren’t to Taejin’s liking from the start but he didn’t fail to disappoint until the end.

“I’ll take it that you agree then. Take them.”

‘Goodness… for it to play out so easily.’

‘Destination is… Island of the Tower!’

“… Dammit. I don’t care anymore then.”

Hansoo, who had shrugged his shoulders, looked up at the Island of the Tower and then shook his head.

But he had cleared it.

And it didn’t matter because he had already worked on that separately.

Then he started to slash apart the Demon Lord seriously

Hoooouug

A location where they moved to if the mini-crystals were activated.

Two Lords had survived but it wouldn’t be easy for them to survive either.

“It seems like you would need to comply for now. Hurry and give the order. First attack the Demon Lord and once you kill it, attack Hansoo.”

“Tsk.”

They couldn’t do anything else because they were held hostage but it seemed like he wouldn’t kill them.

‘Dumba.s.ses.’

He could already hear their eyeb.a.l.l.s rolling about. (*TL: Korean Saying for planning things out)

While Guktae was smiling, a man’s voice was heard behind them, who were on the ground.

When they turned around quickly, a person with a weird mask was approaching them.

The man smiled as he was about to speak out his name but then stopped.

He had disguised himself in order to not show the relations.h.i.+p between him and Hansoo.

The man spoke out after mumbling inwardly for a while.

He just needed to do what he needed to do.

‘I just need to cut off their necks and take the things that come out right?’

“This crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Sangjin, who had cut off a Lord’s neck with one swing of his sword, laughed coldly at Guktae who was screaming.
