chapter 39
Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -39-
039.
-You’ve grown!
-Kya, indeed Great Sword Hee
-Kekekekekeksbkkekeke
The streamer’s misfortune was the audience’s joy.
Viewers who never missed a chance to tease the dark girl.
“Ugh···.”
The dark girl’s body trembled.
She immediately reached out to request revenge.
[Revenge request has been denied]
But soon, the denial notification came back.
She didn’t give up and requested revenge again.
It’s said there’s no tree that won’t fall after ten strikes.
[Revenge request has been denied]
[Revenge request has been denied]
.
[Revenge Request Denied]
But it seemed like a lie.
Everyone’s revenge requests were denied.
“Argh! Why! Why! Want to play again! Ah, this time I’ll really win!”
The dark-haired girl vented her anger at the continued denials.
-Yes?
-Really going to win?
-hahahahaha
-Not just two rounds?
-Then would you like to try a mission?
[‘GreatSwordGirl’ has applied for a mission worth 500,000 won.]
-If you win, let’s go.
[‘UltimateFighter’ has applied for a mission worth 1,000,000 won.]
-If you win next time, 100 million.
Missions were pouring in with the condition of defeating the opponent.
Of course, the chances of achieving them were slim to the point of being practically non-existent.
-hahahahaha
-King of assets, here we come~
-Big players make it fun
“Hoo…”
The dark-haired girl rejected all the missions that came her way, taking a deep breath.
-Why reject them?
-Maybe she doesn’t know
-We know everything hahahaha
-hahahahaha safety assets
“Fine. I’ll admit it. I can’t beat that person. But, can’t I give it another shot at least once? Huh? It’s like a rule to grant revenge at least once, right?! Isn’t that so?”
In truth, the dark-haired girl had a point.
Revenge, especially when someone who lost in a previous match challenges for a rematch, was an unwritten rule in games like Ultimate Fighter.
In Iron Fist, where it was easier to find a different opponent due to the larger player base, this trend was slightly less pronounced. However, in Ultimate Fighter, where most users had been snatched away, not accepting revenge was considered quite rude, as it took quite a while to find a match.
Of course, not all Ultimate Fighter users shared the same perspective.
Whether not accepting revenge was rude or a matter of personal freedom was still a contentious debate.
While the dark-haired girl did think revenge was a matter of personal freedom…
“No matter what, can’t just skip out on a match!”
Did someone hear the dark-haired girl’s outcry?
[Revenge Request Accepted]
“Huh?”
[GreatSwordGirl accepts the revenge request.]
-Oh
-Accepted hahahaha
[GreatSwordGirl: Just one match and then I’m off.]
She even chats.
When she was with Anatole, she showed a communication style through chat, but this is the first time she’s chatting with the Dark Girl.
No, more precisely, excluding ‘that chat,’ it’s the first time.
– Did you hear the Dark Girl whining?
– Did you unmute them?
– I saw them chatting with Anatole before.
– Why isn’t the mic working?
– Wow, chatting too.
– hahahaha, for a moment, I thought that chat was coming up.
At that time when viewers were surprised by the communication with [HmmGujungDunga].
Another chat popped up.
Contrary to viewers’ expectations, it wasn’t ‘that chat.’
[HmmGujungDunga: I have to go prepare for the broadcast in a bit.]
A chat saying they have to prepare for the broadcast.
In other words…
-?
-?
-Streamer?
-Huh?
-Who’s the full-time streamer?
-This narrows down the candidates quite a bit.
-Oh
The identity of [HmmGujungDunga] meant they were a streamer.
**
The Dark Girl acknowledged.
‘Absolutely can’t win.’
She had no choice but to acknowledge.
Could she beat [HmmGujungDunga] with her skills?
It was impossible.
The only possibility might be Anatole at best.
Even if he showed insane form as if he had awakened last night, didn’t he ultimately lose to her?
Considering the issue of concentration, the gap with [HmmGujungDunga] is significant.
‘But if there is a single possibility.. it would only be Anatole.’
In other words, it meant she wasn’t the one to beat [HmmGujungDunga].
The Dark Girl deeply acknowledged this fact.
That’s why, the current showdown is not to win.
‘Just two hits properly…’
Not more, not less.
Let’s hit exactly twice.
Not just brushing past like in the previous round, but with a proper strike.
That was the goal of the Dark Swordswoman in this round.
Goooh-
A single strike, a mere glancing blow, was not something to be pleased about escaping from a perfect defeat.
Who is she?
She is the Dark Swordswoman!
The hope of all female combat gamers!
And once ranked 13th in the world rankings!
“Hoo!”
The play shown by [Hm-Gu-Jeong-Doong-Ga] in close combat goes beyond unbelievable to insane levels.
What she aims for is to avoid direct confrontation and seize the opportunity.
Her focus has reached its peak.
All she needs is two precise hits.
Just two chances are enough… Now is the time!
Thwack!
1 minute later.
[PERFECT]
[Defeat]
“Ah… damn it… this game is so frustrating!”
The Dark Swordswoman shouted as she saw the red letters in front of her.
For those who know, that’s not profanity.
It may look like it, but it’s not an insult; it carries a different meaning.
To interpret… it means “Your play is at a level that my skills simply cannot keep up with.”
-hahahahaha
-Praise ON
-hahahahaha
-hahahahaha but seriously, it’s so accurate
-Keeps dodging and trying to drain my health, so I’ll just do the same~
-Hm, excellent at dodging for real
The Dark Swordswoman showered [Hm-Gu-Jeong-Doong-Ga] with extreme praise.
“Hmm… was I too harsh?”
[Hm-Gu-Jeong-Doong-Ga] thought as he watched her, visibly upset.
Although not highly experienced in competitive combat games, in the realm of “combat,” he was an expert.
Thanks to that, he could immediately grasp that in the second round, unless he gave the Dark Swordswoman enough room to engage in close combat, she would utilize the longer reach of the sword to focus on ranged attacks.
“So, I did the same.”
Keeping distance, only attacking at clear openings.
He had learned a few additional skills of Hoken in training mode yesterday, and they were just the right skills for this situation.
Stepping firmly on the Jin-Gak to narrow the distance with the opponent, there was the feeling of a Black Flame-Gak combining the Gale-Gak with flying kicks, or the Charge-Gi and Attack-Gi.
“I should cheer a bit.”
In reality, it would be quite unfair for the opponent.
According to what he saw on his friend’s screen, the account named DarkGirl had been playing this game since Season 1.
It was frustrating to see a newly created account effortlessly defeating him like this.
But in terms of fighting skills, wouldn’t Lee Do-Hyuk be several steps ahead?
[Hm, are you really DarkGirl?]
Do-Hyuk hoped DarkGirl wasn’t feeling too disheartened.
What could he do?
The opponent was himself.
[Hm, don’t be too disheartened.]
[Hm, felt slower than last time.]
[Hm, fighting!]
Feeling embarrassed to cheer verbally, he opted to type in the chat.
Tap-!
After cheering, Do-Hyuk found it difficult to endure the awkward moment and promptly left the room.
“······?”
Thanks to that, DarkGirl was left alone once again.
-Geez, kekekekeke
-Oh keke, it’s me against you~
-You always win kekekekeke I managed to land a hit today
-For real keke Then that means you’ve really improved
-Fighting, got it keke
-Exclamation marks are so cringey
-You brushed past my hair? You’re talented
**
A few hours later.
Gulp-
Do-Hyuk downed a refreshing glass of cold water.
He had momentarily stepped out of the capsule to take a break, having left out the progress of the Balhalla until a while ago.
But suddenly, it was time for the upcoming broadcast.
Entering the capsule, he turned on the Tworq.
Tap-
[Starting the streaming.]
The broadcast, accompanied by light, began.
-Hello!
-Hello
-Hi hi
-Nice, one minute early for Bang-On
– His pace.
– God Do Hyuk’s time travel ◈
The chat window quickly scrolls up.
2nd day of the broadcast.
Just turned on the broadcast, barely 8.. 9.. 10 seconds.
[Current viewers: 773]
However, Do Hyuk’s viewer count was already in the three digits, even reaching four.
In the style of web novels, it would be expressed as ‘Day 2 broadcast with too many viewers.’
“Hello. This is Do Hyuk.”
But Do Hyuk greeted calmly, not surprised at all.
“I knew it would be like this.”
After the end of his first broadcast yesterday, both Jian and Black Oak, with whom he had separate conversations, had the same thing to say.
Today, due to the joint broadcast, viewers gathered in large numbers, but tomorrow it wouldn’t be the same, they argued.
Instead of decreasing, Jian and Black Oak insisted it would only increase.
– Watching the hot clip?
– Yeah, it’s lit.
– Could’ve been top-ranked yesterday.
They were talking about the hot clip the two had shown him.
His video was on the hot clip section of TworK.
It even held a high ranking for quite some time.
“Yes. Jian told me. It even hit the 2nd place in the highest ranking.”
– Oh
– You saw it
– Should’ve been 1st
– Probably would’ve hit it normally, but the competition was tough
– Hmm, showing up is cheating lol
– How can you stand Anatol getting rekt like that
“Hmm, showing up? Anatol?”
Scanning through the chat window, Do Hyuk inquired about the unfamiliar names that appeared.
Whether during the joint broadcast with Jian or at other times, he always felt this way, realizing he had much to learn about this world of internet broadcasting.
Seems like a person’s name.
Who is Heumjwa, and who is Anatol?
– Yeah lol, even getting wrecked by Elpha, how can you not watch
– Oh, if you’re wondering who Heumjwa is, he’s the one who beat Anatol.. Oh, I should explain Anatol first;
– If I say Anatol, you know Elpha, right?
“Oh! Elpha? Ultimate Fighter? I know that. I’ve even tried it.”
Luckily, this time, it was a story he knew.
Ultimate Fighter.
Isn’t that the game Do Hyuk enjoys the most these days?
– This gentleman asked how you’re doing on the Elpha broadcast yesterday lol
– What’s with all the talk about Ultimate Fighter? So annoying, lol.
– LOL, Sun-Gu, seriously, today’s chat is full of Ultimate Fighter fans.
– Wow, his prophecy.
– Now he’s predicting the future too;;
More than half of the current viewers had watched Lee Dohyuk’s debut show in full yesterday. As a result, they remembered the Ultimate Fighter conversation he had yesterday.
“Ultimate Fighter is popular right now? But you said everyone would hate it if they tried it yesterday.”
– Well, thanks to Sun-Gu, Ultimate Fighter is booming from yesterday.
– Ah, who’s Sun-Gu? He’s an Ultimate Fighter expert who appeared out of nowhere like a comet… Sigh; Who wouldn’t want to ride in a Speedwagon?
– It’s hard to explain, but check out the top Hot Clip video first.
However, there were also viewers who were drawn in by the Hot Clip video of Lee Dohyuk’s Valhalla that was not broadcasted yesterday.
– So when is Valhalla coming?
– I came to see Valhalla, but are we not playing Valhalla?
– Let’s go, Dual Axe Babas~~~
– Is this guy good at Ultimate Fighter too? Valhalla was seriously epic.
– I came after watching the Hot Clip!
– Nah, impossible, right? It’s been like two or three days.
– Seems a bit sketchy, lol, his physique is amazing.
As a result, the chat was in chaos with various topics without a unified theme. It seemed like the chat needed to be organized.
“Okay, everyone.”
After focusing the viewers’ attention on himself.
“First, about Sun-Gu? We’ll watch the Hot Clip video and then try Valhalla.”
That’s how Lee Dohyuk made his decision.
Since the topic of the Hot Clip came up, it seemed right to start the game after watching it. Of course, the fact that Sun-Gu was said to be an Ultimate Fighter expert added to the intrigue.
– Nice.
– Oh, great.
– Seriously, really good. If you start Ultimate Fighter, you might learn something?
– Almost like the Lee Dohyuk of Valhalla.
– Wow, is that person a legend in Ultimate Fighter?
– Yeah, almost like a legend.
Thanks to this, the chat quickly filled with praise for Sun-Gu. Lee Dohyuk’s expectations rose upon seeing this.
‘How good could he be?’
If he was that impressive, he wanted to meet him in a ranked game. Having already conquered the battle with the Dark Maiden, reaching the top rank, he figured he might meet him when he reached the top spot.
“Hot Clip.. Hot Clip.. Ah, here, right?”
With such high expectations, Lee Dohyuk entered the Hot Clip section.
As soon as I entered, I clicked on the top-ranked video.
Ping-
[The undefeated legend against GOAT Anatol for 5 consecutive wins, Heumgeujeongdungajwa]
-Oh… The opponent’s nickname is quite unique, Heumgeujeongdungaj?
Since it was a video broadcasted through his stream, it naturally started with Anatol’s commentary.
And following Anatol’s gaze, a video illuminating the opponent.
[Heumgeujeongdungaj]
-hahahaha
-His entrance
-To be honest, up until now, I thought Nick was just a villain lol
-The great Heum Left
-His skills match his teasing ability lol
“Huh?”
Watching this, Ido-hyuk’s eyes widened slightly.
Simultaneously, he couldn’t help but say such words.
He had doubted when he saw the video title.
“Why am I in this?”
-??
-?
-?
-???
-?
Along with the countless hooks collected in the chat box.
“Is this real…?”
Ido-hyuk also expressed his bewilderment.
