186 – Divergence (2)
The continental raid boss, Black and White Arthur.
Kim Hyun-woo knew the name that had been officially named by Arteil, ‘Knight of Camelot, Black and White Arthur’, all too well.
That was because the continental raid boss, Black and White Arthur, was branded as the worst boss by Arteil’s users.
‘Of course, Black and White Arthur is a boss that came out after I quit the game.’
In other words, Kim Hyun-woo had never faced Black and White Arthur.
However, funnily enough, at that time, most of the users who had quit Arteil had never faced Black and White Arthur either.

Arteil’s raid boss, ‘Knight of Camelot, Black and White Arthur’, was a boss that had appeared as a raid boss only once and was immediately scrapped.
However, even so, the reason why Black and White Arthur was nicknamed the worst boss in Arteil’s raid, even to the point that Kim Hyun-woo, who had quit the game, knew about it, was because of the raid boss’s specs, which were so strong that users were astonished.
To begin with, the raid boss Arthur was originally a raid boss that 49 players participated in, as it was nicknamed ‘continent’.
In other words, in terms of the number of heroes alone, it was a raid boss that 245 people had to face at the same time.
Of course, since it was a boss that 245 people had to face, the raid boss had to be strong.
To begin with, it was only natural that the heroes of the users who participated in the continental boss raid were 5-star.
However, the problem was that Black and White Arthur was too strong, even to the point of being excessive.
At that time, even though the top 1 to 245 rankers of Arteil had gathered, they had fraudulent abilities and skills that made it impossible to break.
The fraudulent ability value was so high that even in communities that did not play Arteil, articles were posted with titles such as ‘How game companies manipulate games’ or ‘How developers manipulate ants’.
Until now, Arteil’s users, who had never expressed any dissatisfaction with even the worst BM, had joined forces to send a truck protest with their own money.
As a result, Kim Hyun-woo, who had quit Arteil at that time and only then devoted himself to his studies, could not help but hear the news, and he actually stuck out his tongue when he saw Arthur’s abilities on the game’s homepage.
‘To begin with, the fact that HP goes up to 1 billion is way too much.’
Anyway, because of the huge backlash, Black and White Arthur was scrapped after appearing only once in the raid and became Arteil’s dark history.
Kim Hyun-woo, who had been thinking for a while, probably because Arteil, which had been holding on until then, gradually declined from that point on, said,
“…First of all, I understand. You definitely said Arthur and Lancelot?”
“Yes.”
“Were there any other humanoids?”
“At least my servant horse didn’t notice. Oh, there was one thing a little unusual.”
“…Something unusual?”
“Yes. Of course, this is more subjective than objective fact, but the man and woman leading those black things didn’t feel complete for some reason.”
“What exactly do you mean?”
“Literally. In the case of the woman, she was only wearing part of her armor, holding a sword that was cut in half, and her shoulder seemed to be pierced, so it was difficult to see her as a perfect person. The man also had a hole in his armored heart and left thigh.”
“…A hole…”
Kim Hyun-woo, who was a little deep in thought at Gert’s words, said first.
“I understand. Thank you for the good information. I’ll make sure to pay you.”
Soon after sending out Gert, who had asked for this information, he frowned with a very headache-inducing expression.
‘Black and White Arthur…’
If the other world that Gert had just mentioned and that Kim Hyun-woo would soon have to face was Black and White Arthur, the situation would not be very easy.
At least the Black and White Arthur he knew had ridiculous strength.
‘…Of course, the heroes of Lartania now definitely have more strength than I originally thought.’
Surely, the heroes of Lartania are as strong as Kim Hyun-woo actually knows.
However, if he were to ask if the strength of those heroes was enough to win even if 245 5-star heroes attacked, Kim Hyun-woo would have no choice but to shut his mouth.
“…Is that the only way?”Kim Hyun-woo muttered, recalling a method in his head.
####
It had been a few days since Kim Hyun-woo had heard about Arthur and started preparing.
At the Round Table in Lartania, the number of heroes who were watching each other with wary eyes was gradually increasing.
The reason was that as time went on, the number of heroes who were spending the night with Kim Hyun-woo was increasing.
At first, the meaning of spending the first night together was a huge blow to any hero, but in fact, the psychological gap between the heroes who spent the first night with Kim Hyun-woo was greatly reduced, although the order was different.
Thanks to that.
“Tsk, who wouldn’t call you a dog? You sneak in well while your master is working.”
“I’ve never been in there.”
“Don’t be funny! Weren’t you under the desk yesterday? And you even made strange noises!”
“I only did that to relieve my master’s desire.”
“I can do it even if you don’t do it! And don’t disturb your master while he’s working!”
“The master likes it.”
“…What.”
Currently, the Round Table was having a bit more of a subtle verbal battle.
“Ah, anyway, don’t do that!”
“…You’re the one who should stop going to him at night and rubbing your body in skimpy clothes.”
“T-that’s only for my master’s entertainment at night!”
“…I know whose tail that suspicious cat in the Lord’s room belongs to.”
“Eek-!”
Lynn’s face turned red and she immediately looked at Charles and said.
“Huh, you should take good care of your belongings since the heart-shaped sticker collection that was so interesting is also torn.”
“…? Isn’t that a remover?”
“Huh? Other than you-”
Lynn frowned and turned her gaze away.
There, Elena, who had been pretending to be ordinary, was seen with her face flushed red like a tomato.
“…”
So, while those who had spent their first night with Kim Hyun-woo were watching each other, there were naturally heroes who were not included in the group.
However.
“hehehe-”
Aria, the commander of the Blue Forest, had been smiling like a winner as if she found the fight between the heroes amusing.
And unlike Aria.
“…”
“…”
River and Shade nodded at each other as if today was the final battle.
While the heroes gathered at the Round Table were working hard to achieve their goals.
“…Ugh.”
A gloomy depression hung over the lair where Lien, the red dragon, was.
The reason was, of course, because she couldn’t do anything compared to the heroes who were running hard.
She was currently undergoing a ritual to become a dragon, and she was still depressed because she had about a month left before she could leave this place.
On top of that, even Adria, who had been listening to her tantrums all day long, had become strange after she accidentally drank spring water and lost her mental connection while trying to teleport Kim Hyun-woo to her.
…No, strictly speaking, it was more accurate to say that she had become suspicious rather than strange.
These days, Adria often sighed as she looked at the distant mountains, and she often wandered around outside even though she didn’t have anything to do.
…On top of that, she seemed to be in a strange mood when she talked to Elena, one of the heroes of Lartania.
“Ugh…”
Anyway, she had been feeling depressed lately because she had been watching the other heroes work hard while she couldn’t do anything.
In the past, she had been satisfied just by watching, but the more Kim Hyun-woo had relationships with the heroes, the less satisfied she became with it.
That’s why Lien, who had been thinking hard.
“!”
Suddenly, she frowned and looked towards the entrance of the lair, feeling a creepy wave of intense magical energy.
Soon after the intense wave of magical energy was felt, a man opened the door to the lair and entered.
“…Long time no-”A middle-aged man with thick red hair stopped as he opened the door and walked in. The reason was because of Hyunwoo Kim’s pictures that were stuck all over the walls of the lair.
“-…He looks healthy.”
After a brief silence, Lien opened her mouth with a look of intense vigilance instead of the depressed expression she had been wearing while watching the middle-aged man talk.
“…Aliones.”
Aliones, the Dragon Lord, the Red Dragon, and the king of all dragons.
He had come to Lien’s lair.
And.
“…Let me out of here right now.”
“Me, really?”
He had uttered the words that Lien had wanted to hear so badly.
