- ?????????

- ??????? What did I just hear?

- Siblings?????????

- Is this a joke????????

The chat window instantly turned into chaos.

Seonghyun was just as flustered.

He didn't know why he hadn't said anything until now, but there hadn't been any need to mention something that wasn't necessary to say.

It hadn't really felt like he was hiding it, but revealing it on a broadcast like this was bound to be problematic, so Seonghyun glanced around somewhat nervously.

Even the viewers, who had initially been unsure whether it was a joke, could sense it.

- Wow, it seems like it's real?

- Lolol seems like it's real.

- Looks like he said something he shouldn't have?

- Lololol the Demon King being nervous is cute.

- Lololololol why would you say that.

- Lololol but if I were him, I'd probably say something too if people were pairing me with my sister.

- ;;I'd probably say it right away too;;

This was real.

Well, they were asking if he was dating his sister.

Even Seonghyun couldn't stand that.

Just then, a messenger arrived for Seonghyun, who had been glancing around nervously.

[Black Star - It's fine, it's fine. It doesn't matter if you say it, so don't worry and continue the broadcast!]

[Seonghyun - Thank you.]

Fortunately, the message arrived immediately, as if they had been monitoring.

Black Star coolly brushed it off, as if it wasn't a big problem.

Seeing that, Seonghyun's expression relaxed as he felt somewhat relieved.

- Lolol looking at his expression, seems like the guild leader said it was okay.

- Lololololol well, there's no reason to hide that they're real siblings.

- Wow but then siblings are both dominating Eternal World together;;;

- For real, there were people saying if you're Korean, watch the Demon King or watch Yuna, but turns out we could just watch both siblings.

- For real lol.

Fortunately, the atmosphere seemed fine too.

So Seonghyun could feel somewhat relieved as well.

Maybe it was because he wasn't very good at broadcasting.

These kinds of small mistakes were inevitable.

'I need to be more careful.'

Since there can be cases like this in live broadcasts.

He'd have to be more cautious in the future.

After Seonghyun made up his mind like that.

Just as he was about to communicate again.

Seonghyun could see someone entering the waiting room.

Well, it was about time for the others to arrive too.

And it wasn't only Seonghyun who saw this.

. - Oh? Someone new entered?

- Already? Not all the double rankers have passed yet???

- Oh, that was fast!?

- Who is it????

- The nickname is Reaper?

Since a ranking message announcing that a new person had appeared came up, everyone could see the nickname.

The man with the unfamiliar nickname silently scanned the waiting room, spotted Seonghyun, then looked away.

And Seonghyun fell into thought for a moment as he looked at the man called Reaper.

A man wearing black assassin's clothes.

An extraordinary appearance.

If he had entered faster than even the double rankers, he was undoubtedly a considerable expert.

He had thought the Luna team, which had become the backup team, would be faster.

Seonghyun's eyes gleamed slightly as he looked at the man.

The man was already approaching this way the moment he saw Seonghyun.

'Is this one going to fight too?'

Since he had a personality of not avoiding fights that came to him.

Seonghyun prepared slightly, and just as the man was about to approach Seonghyun.

- Oh Luna team! They're here!

- There are unfamiliar nicknames too!?

- Haven't been streaming lately, so this is exciting!

Such chats came up.

Suddenly, a large number of people appeared in the waiting room.

A whopping 12 people.

Standing at their head was none other than Luna.

However, her outfit was extraordinary.

Luna was wearing a barbarian warrior's outfit that revealed considerably more than it covered, in quite an exposed state.

Seeing this, Seonghyun unconsciously averted his gaze.

- Ohwow...

- Whoa...

- Wow...

- Ahem, understandable that the Demon King would avert his gaze.

The viewers' chat heated up as well.

And perhaps conscious of this, Luna said with a face that had turned red without her realizing it.

"It's, it's battle gear. D-don't misunderstand."

"...?"

"Luna-gong, that seems like it would cause even more misunderstanding."

"Ah, ah!"

Rather, it seemed like words that would create even more misunderstanding.

Anyway, right now the priority was blocking the person trying to approach Seonghyun rather than that.

Of course, it wasn't that they didn't trust Seonghyun's skills.

But that was the backup team's role.

That's why the entire backup team was surrounding Seonghyun protectively and being wary of the man.

"...It's been a while."

"Huing~ Thanks to you, I really had a hard time~"

"...Sorry, I made you go through something troublesome."

The Luna team they hadn't seen in a long time.

Longfeng looking sheepish, Elzahar still gentle as ever, and Hwawol who was similarly somewhat embarrassed.

They greeted Seonghyun.

"It's been a while."

As Seonghyun also greeted them warmly.

As if they couldn't be left out, the Embris party came to greet him.

"Ah, you can't forget about us either! We still haven't fully repaid our debt."

"That's right, thanks to you we've gotten stronger too."

"Honestly, it was a bit tough."

"But we were able to join Rapid Guild!"

From Embris of the Embris party to Usagi, Menma, and Chako.

They all acted familiar with Seonghyun.

Since they had met before.

Seonghyun was also pleased and bowed his head slightly in greeting.

And.

"Ahem, Seonghyun-nim has gotten even stronger while we haven't seen each other. Hmm, let's have tea sometime."

Even Chosun's Greatest Sword Kim Chegeon, whom he had met outside before.

However.

"Ah, let's do that later."

He politely declined the suggestion to meet outside.

But Kim Chegeon nodded happily regardless.

And seeing such Kim Chegeon.

"Euhahaha! This time is also not easy!"

"Fuuu, we still have a long way to go to catch up."

Even Meiran and Kurosawa Ren.

They were truly a bustling crowd.

After Seonghyun greeted all the other people like that.

He looked at the last remaining person.

Just because it was the backup team didn't mean everyone assigned would be someone he knew.

'Who is this?'

'...So that's the Demon King.'

Both Kyou and Seonghyun were meeting for the first time.

Since he had only fought against Fiora.

Seonghyun had never seen Kyou before.

Similarly, this was Kyou's first time actually seeing Seonghyun.

So both looked at each other with some awkwardness.

The two looked at each other with curiosity, thinking to themselves.

Then they both nodded somewhat awkwardly in greeting.

Anyway, after they had all greeted each other like that.

Then everyone looked warily at the man standing in front of Seonghyun.

The man who had suddenly appeared. Chapters first released on NoveI-Fire.É´et Since he had no fame whatsoever until now.

Everyone had no choice but to be wary.

He wasn't even just any random person.

A person of concern who had entered faster than them, who were double rankers.

That's why the entire backup team was on guard.

At least individually, he might be superior to them.

"......"

On the other hand, the man showed no change in expression as he looked at them.

Did it not matter even if he was outnumbered like this?

Or did he have some other purpose?

At the front, Embris and Luna, close-combat types who had advanced to Almighty-rank, stepped forward like an iron wall, followed by Kim Chegeon who had risen to Legendary-rank after his third class change, along with Longfeng, Hwawol, Meiran, and Kurosawa Ren, while in the rear, the Embris party, Elzahar who could provide rear support, and another Almighty-rank Kyou were standing by.

Ready to cover Seonghyun at any time.

It was truly tremendous firepower befitting the term "raid party."

And looking at the man in such a standoff, Luna thought.

'Where on earth did this person come from?'

Luna checked all broadcasts of the same level range.

But she had never heard of such a skilled player in the level 200s.

A strong player with the nickname Reaper.

Embris had also been a hidden expert.

So she thought it was possible for new ones to emerge.

But while monitoring and watching Seonghyun's broadcast.

The way he deliberately approached Seonghyun seemed unusual.

That's why they had stepped forward to protect him like this.

Honestly, her pride was hurt too.

The backup team hadn't all defeated the Black Death at once to enter this place.

Each had defeated the Black Death separately and come here.

While the backup team members had entered at roughly similar times.

He had entered much faster than them.

In other words, it meant he had the qualifications to aim for single ranker status.

Seonghyun's backup team, meaning everyone present here, were all top-tier double rankers in terms of skill, but honestly, their pride couldn't help but be hurt.

'...Phew.'

She knew there were quite a few hidden experts.

But it was still amazing how they kept popping up.

Was it because Seonghyun showed overwhelming strength?

She felt like they kept getting drawn in.

Kyou and Embris had been such cases too.

She hoped this time would also end amicably.

But since she couldn't tell yet.

She had no choice but to be cautious.

'What's his purpose?'

The moment Luna thought that.

The man suddenly disappeared from that spot.

Teleportation?

No, it wasn't teleportation—he had simply moved quickly.

Though she had missed the movement, Luna could vaguely follow it as she turned her gaze, and similarly, Embris spread her energy in all directions using a detection skill.

Was it because he moved too quickly?

His movements weren't easily grasped.

Kyou and the others also tried to quickly block him.

But he avoided all of that too and approached Seonghyun.

And seeing this, the entire backup team unleashed their skills.

The moment he moved, Elzahar, called the Binding Mage who had been preparing, created an ice prison made of frost, but by that moment the man had already escaped from that spot.

Pow!

After that, Kim Chegeon moved quickly, drew his sword, and attacked.

But the man jumped as if rising into the air, smoothly performed a somersault in midair, and dodged Kim Chegeon's sword strike.

At the same time, as Hwawol and Longfeng rushed in, and Meiran and Kurosawa Ren positioned themselves behind the man to launch a combined attack.

The man's figure disappeared as if being sucked into the ground.

No, to be precise, he became a shadow and moved through the shadow that had changed like a puddle, then emerged as if jutting out in a sharp, pointed shape.

Seeing this, Kyou's eyes flashed with lightning as he shot out thunderbolts.

Since it was a very wide range to dodge, everyone moved away from that spot as soon as they saw the wide-ranging thunderbolts.

However, after the man who had transformed into a shadow changed back into human form and pressed his palms together.

The man disappeared from that spot again.

This time it seemed he had disappeared right there, not by changing into a shadow.

And a message appeared before Seonghyun's eyes.

[The effect of Almighty-rank item, 『Primordial Demon Crest Ring』, delays the teleportation attempting to reach this location.]

So he had used teleportation to get this far.

As Seonghyun grasped this and turned his head.

The backup team all rushed in belatedly.

No, to be precise, just as they were about to rush in.

The teleportation delay ended completely and the man appeared in front of Seonghyun.

And just as Seonghyun was about to prepare as well.

The man—no, Reaper—looked at Seonghyun like that and took something out from his chest.

A situation where an attack seemed certain.

In that situation, Seonghyun also tried to use magic, but tilted his head in puzzlement and stopped his attack.

And what the man who had taken something from his chest handed to Seonghyun was none other than pure white paper and a pencil.

What on earth is this?

"...?"

"...???"

"Huh?"

Seonghyun and everyone else made dumbfounded sounds as they looked at Reaper.

Reaper scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed, and with a really shy smile, he laughed and said.

"I'm, I'm a fan. C-could you give me an autograph?"

As Seonghyun made a dumbfounded expression upon hearing such an absurd statement.

Reaper spoke as if he had forgotten.

"Ah, right, and I have something to deliver to you."

Saying that, Reaper requested a trade.

As a message appeared.

[User 『Reaper』 wants to trade Hero Hindel set items 『Insignia of the Galaxy』 and 『Pledge of the Stars』.]

[Will you accept?]

[Yes / No]

What could this be now?

And.

"I'll, I'll give them to you, so could I get an autograph?"

What on earth is this person?

'Is this a hidden camera?'
