Chapter 245
Would this situation make sense if it wasn't a hidden camera?
He even had such thoughts.
But what reason would there be to deceive him?
Why go so far as to throw away such items?
The moment such thoughts entered Seonghyun's mind.
It was definitely strange.
'The Hindel set isn't something that can be obtained so easily.'
Then who could have sent this person?
Looking at it, if this was someone sent by Rapid Guild, Rapid would have told him right away.
But this person wasn't purely offering these out of fan devotion either.
Seonghyun didn't even know if this person had the Hindel set.
In other words.
'A place that knows I have the Hindel set and also has the ability to obtain it?'
Through the process of elimination, only one candidate remained.
Over Palace.
To think they would deliver items in this way.
Did they really hold an event across all servers and level ranges just to deliver these items?
It really made no sense.
Once he thought that far.
Seonghyun looked at the man called Reaper with an incredulous expression and asked.
"By any chance, Over Palace?"
"A-as expected?!?!"
A quite surprised expression.
It could be a bluff.
So he should stay on guard.
But if that expression was a bluff...
He thought it would be believable enough to fool him.
Anyway, when Seonghyun accepted the exchange like that.
[You have traded Hero Hindel's set items 『Insignia of the Galaxy』 and 『Pledge of the Stars』.]
[You have additionally acquired two more items from the Legendary set items, Hero Hindel's set.]
[Set effects are applied up to stage 6.]
A message appeared saying the set effects had been applied.
He hadn't thought they were fake.
But seeing them actually applied like this.
'...Oh.'
He couldn't help but let out a short exclamation.
By the way.
Delivering through a user.
Over Palace was impressive too.
If they delivered through a user, the user could run off with them.
But the fact that he didn't...
"Actually, our master told me to deliver them."
"Ehem."
Still, that's conscientious...
"I took poison, so if I disobey the orders, my character gets deleted."
"Ah..."
So there's a reason for everything.
He had forgotten that Over Palace always finds an answer.
But how can such poison exist?
As Seonghyun looked at Reaper with an expression of incomprehension. Google seaʀᴄh novel fire.net He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said.
"Hahaha, even if it wasn't an order, I'd be happy to give anything to the Demon King! S-so, um, could I really not get an autograph?"
Is there any reason to be this obsessed with his autograph?
With such thoughts, Seonghyun took the paper Reaper had been holding with a dazed expression and gave him an autograph.
"Kyaahooo!"
He was genuinely overjoyed.
Seonghyun and the entire backup team looked at Reaper with dazed expressions.
To think such a scatter-brained person had defeated the Black Death at a speed similar to single rankers, excluding Seonghyun.
From the backup team's perspective, their pride couldn't help but be considerably hurt.
He seemed to have a few screws loose.
But Reaper's skills were certain.
Seeing this, Seonghyun also thought it was strange.
'But he said he has a master.'
Seonghyun didn't clearly recognize what level of expert Reaper was.
But if he was the disciple of someone at the executive level in Over Palace.
He could understand such skills.
'Then should I turn the broadcast back on?'
He had stopped the broadcast briefly because it seemed like Reaper was approaching to have a secret conversation.
Since Over Palace was mentioned too.
Seonghyun thought he had cut it off quite well and turned the broadcast back on.
The viewers went crazy with their chat.
- What was that???
- Wasn't it a fight???
- ????Why is that user happy?
- He's holding paper and happy?
- Must be crazy;;
Though the viewers didn't know what happened because the situation was cut off.
Some sharp-eyed viewers quickly realized that Reaper was crazy.
Anyway, in such a situation, Seonghyun lightly explained for the sake of continuing.
"There were some confidential matters being discussed, so I stopped the broadcast briefly. I apologize for not being able to tell you the details."
As Seonghyun politely apologized.
The viewers chatted as if waving their hands dismissively.
- Oh no, it's fine~
- That can happen.
- Ah, secret conversations can't be helped.
- ㅇㅈㅇㅈㅇㅈ.
Good chats were coming up from everyone.
And while Seonghyun was feeling relieved.
'Should I check the items for now?'
He had only seen the message that the set effects were applied after receiving them.
So it was natural to be curious.
Since it would be best to equip them right away and use them in Apophis Temple.
Seonghyun opened the item descriptions, set so viewers couldn't see them.
The descriptions of the two items unfolded.
『Insignia of the Galaxy』
→《Legendary》(Growth Type)

→[Locked]
'Wow...'
Item effects that even Seonghyun couldn't help but admire.
Both the Insignia of the Galaxy and the Pledge of the Stars were like that.
Especially the Insignia of the Galaxy was expected to have tremendous utility the moment he learned Galaxy Swordsmanship with Hero Hindel's sword later.
The Pledge of the Stars had effects worth trying right away.
Not only that.
'The set effects are...'
The 30% increase in star and galaxy-related skill power and an additional 30% damage increase.
The effects were tremendous.
It was natural for set effect options to get better as they progressed.
But they were more amazing than expected, so even Seonghyun couldn't help but be quite surprised.
'I got something good.'
After Seonghyun thought that and checked everything.
With only waiting for others to arrive left to do, just as he was wondering what to do now.
"I want to fight."
"...???"
"Kyou!"
"Haaaah."
A voice that suddenly popped out.
It was Kyou, someone Seonghyun was meeting for the first time.
- ???
- What???
- Kyou??! Isn't that guy the rookie slaughterer???
- Oh, he joined as backup team???
- If that prideful guy went under the Demon King, that's pretty amazing???
- So why is he suddenly going off???
- Is he saying he wants to have a match with the Demon King?
There was also some commotion in the chat.
Since there were quite a few people who still knew about Kyou.
Since such a Kyou spoke like he was suddenly going off.
It was naturally understandable.
Moreover, it looked like he was challenging Seonghyun.
Just as Luna was about to stop him.
Kyou looked at such Luna and shook his head.
"No, not the Demon King... Reaper. You."
"...???"
Being suddenly pointed out.
Reaper, who was happy holding his autograph, tilted his head as if it was strange.
As if asking why he would fight with him.
Then, startled, Reaper hid his paper behind him with sharp eyes and growled.
"I can't give you the autograph."
Kyou made an incredulous expression, wondering what on earth that was supposed to mean.
Just in case, everyone looked at Kyou.
Wondering if he was doing this because he wanted to get an autograph.
However, Kyou said to such Reaper.
"...Don't need it."
"What, what?!"
However, perhaps those words were shocking, as Reaper was startled.
How precious is this autograph!
That feeling was quite evident.
Anyway.
- So why is Kyou picking a fight?
- I don't know???
- Anyway, it looks like it'll be interesting, so let's just watch.
- For real lol.
- Yeah lololol.
- ㅇㅈㅇㅈ.
The fact that this situation was quite entertaining from the viewers' perspective.
That much was certain.
Looking at that, Luna was also somewhat troubled.
'What should I do about this...'
Just stopping Kyou and telling him to quit would certainly hurt his pride.
Weren't they Seonghyun's backup team, gathered to become the best excluding Seonghyun?
But it was no different from being defeated by someone else at the same level who wasn't even Seonghyun.
It was hard to accept.
Especially given Kyou's personality.
However, the opponent was Seonghyun's enthusiastic fan and in a friendly position.
If done well, it was a situation where they could get him to join Rapid Guild.
They shouldn't let them fight.
They couldn't give him a bad impression.
With such thoughts, just as Luna was about to stop them.
"That's fine. Do you want to have a sparring match?"
Reaper said that.
And Kyou nodded with sharp eyes.
Then Reaper rather happily put the paper in his chest, carefully placed it in his inventory, and looked at Kyou.
"I don't like losing anymore."
"Then for the referee... c-could the D-Demon King please do it?"
With quite a cunning and embarrassed tone, he asked Seonghyun.
Seonghyun also readily nodded.
When someone was volunteering to create content.
What grounds would there be to refuse?
With Seonghyun's acceptance added.
Luna could no longer stop them, so she sighed deeply.
"Haaaah."
"Still, this worked out well."
"You're right."
"If it wasn't Kyou, I might have stepped forward."
"That's right."
"Euhahaha! My blood is boiling!"
The backup team gathered around Luna one by one, chattering like that.
Well, all the people here had to have their pride hurt a little bit.
The existence called Reaper who had entered faster than them.
Naturally, it was human nature to want to see his skills directly.
That's why everyone was watching Kyou and Reaper curiously about whether Kyou would win.
Kyou's combat ranking within the backup team was tied for first place.
He had the same skill level as Luna, Embris, and Kim Chegeon.
However, considering that only Kim Chegeon had advanced during his third class change to become Legendary-rank.
If he became Almighty-rank, Kim Chegeon might take first place.
Anyway.
If such Kyou and Reaper fought directly.
They would be able to gauge what level of skill Reaper had.
Since everyone's blood was boiling.
They were anticipating how the fight would unfold.
- Since this person called Reaper had similar records to single rankers, his skills must be tremendous?
- For real, I'm looking forward to it.
- Kyou isn't to be underestimated either.
- Yeah, he was right behind.
- It was a time frame where he could have caught up sufficiently.
The viewers also watched the two with such expectations.
At the same time.
'I must win...'
After being defeated by the Demon King's vassal.
He had vowed never to be defeated again.
But Kyou couldn't manage that.
He couldn't decide the match against the newly joined Embris, and it was the same with Kim Chegeon.
It was the same with Luna too.
No more obstacles should appear to block him.
Though Kyou's inflated ego and pride had diminished somewhat.
He couldn't be defeated by such a scatter-brained fool.
With such thoughts, Kyou began emitting lightning from his entire body, while Reaper stood quietly as if not preparing anything at all.
And looking at the two of them, Seonghyun opened his mouth.
"Begin."
After that shout.
Intense lightning swept through the waiting room.
