Chapter 99: Ep 99. Resentment
When it rains or snows, citizens feel burdened by simply walking. Especially with the busy streets where many people come and go.
On top of that, when rare events such as hail and typhoons occur, people only shed tears. Because walking down the street becomes labor.
However, as a citizen of Seoul, the most absurd thing you can experience while walking down the street.
As expected, isn’t it the terrorist attack from those people with superpower, which suddenly happen like a bolt out of the blue in the clear sky?
“AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!”
And in a street in Itaewon.
At this time of the day, people who were walking on this street began to run away in a hurry.
Bang. Bang. The trees, lamps on the street, fire hydrants, transformers, signs, traffic lights were all crumbling down.
Just everything rising up in the street was cut and broken, and the peaceful street became a mess.
“Argh!!! Come out!!!”
People were screaming. The windows of the surrounding buildings were smashed, and people had already gotten off and escaped as their cars were cut through the air.
In the midst of this total mess, something that was causing all of this division.
[Muahahaha! This is so fun!]
Something was wielding a black sword with a black aura around it, with armor and helmet all over it.
Passersby who had been injured while walking had already fled in amazement, he remained alone in the street and still continued his terror by wielding a sword.
[My name is… Death Knight!! Knight of the Dead, a member of Ego Stream. Who will deal with me?]
His voice sounded like it was scratching iron, he shouted loudly, and banged his chest armor with his fist.
He wondered who would listen to it if he shouted like that on the empty street, but in fact, this scene was watched by quite a lot of people.
From the Ego Stream site, which was being filmed and transmitted with a camera above the drone, to the broadcast.
*
[Death Knight appeared. Hahahaha]
[I mean hahahaha. Is this Korea or medieval fantasy?]
[He’s an Ego Stream member. The 2nd villain of the Egostic’s Union]
[Egostic, where did you get all those villains? It’s my first time seeing this guy. Hahahaha.]
[He seems to be very strong. But why does he sound like an old man? Hahahaha]
[Why can’t we see his body but only the black smoke from his armor? I’m scared]
[I like everything, but the most important thing is Mango Stick. Where is he?]
[Where is he?? ‘Hello, this is Egostic!’ ←— Where did this go?]
[He’ll come out a little later hahaha. I trust him]
*
That’s how viewers continued to chitchat, and when the villain, who identified himself as Death Knight, continued to smash the streets.
Finally, she flew in.
Stardus, her blonde hair flying, quietly floating in the air and looking down at Death Knight in the dusty place.
And when Death Knight saw her, he stopped the indiscriminate sabotage and immediately shouted at her.
[Oh, so you’re Stardus, the hero that he mentioned.]
Shouting so, he let the black spear hover in the air and then grabbed it after putting things away.
With an ominous black aura hovering at the end of the spear.
He shouted again at her, who was quietly floating in the air.
[He told me you’d stop me. But me! St. Pe… Death Knight will take it easy to fight with you!]
And with that, Death Knight rushed at her with the black spear.
A truly threatening sight of a knight running with a huge spear, giving off a black aura, as if to embody death.
And, right in front of them, a battle with such a dreadful enemy.
Stardus was just, like, questioning.
‘So, where’s the Egostic?’
***
Roar. Roar.
The roar, which resonated strongly as if heaven and earth were shaking, resonated in the streets.
[Hahahaha! As expected, he’s quite strong. He’s definitely strong. Of course, I’m not crazy about Death Night!]
While the surrounding trees and pieces of the road were flying in the air,
The battle was going pretty nip and tuck.
Death Knight, a new villain who is holding up well against the current Stardus, whose abilities have grown considerably due to various events.
Even if she avoided the spear, he wielded and drove in the attack, he seemed to be quite good at confronting whether the millhouse of the armor was strong.
It’s been a long time since she’s faced a pretty powerful enemy.
In the battle with him, she had to constantly fly, throw herself at him, and attack him.
All the flying spears were pushed aside, she prevented a series of constant attacks, and attacked herself, then they continued the battle.
And the viewers were also watching the battle with great excitement.
*
[Wow, is that Death Knight? It’s a well-matched with Stardus]
[Competition of the strongest people in the world…]
[Where did he get all these amazing guys? Mango Stick’s villains…]
[But damn it, it’s a bummer that there’s no commentary by Egostic]
[Where’s Egostic? He’s not coming out today, isn’t he?]
[No no, he’ll definitely come out. His terror show has never been like this]
[He’ll come out in the middle of the show]
[There’s no way that Mango won’t come, Stardus is here. Mangostar will last forever]
[If Egostic doesn’t come out, I’m going to poop my pants.]
[I took a screenshot of the person who chatted above.]
*
That’s how the battle went on.
It looks like a close match in which people can’t relax for a second while their palms get sweaty.
Stardus, who was actually involved in the fight, kept thinking about it.
‘What the hell, Egostic, when’s he coming?’
Obviously, this scene was being transmitted through Egostic’s broadcast. And the ‘he’ that villain mentioned, in terms of circumstances, is Egostic.
So she thought that Egostic would definitely be here.
Indeed, without showing his nose, Stardus continued to fight with the strange villain in this armor, a consumptive, meaningless fight.
Ting-.
And while she was continuing the battle, that Death Knight was about to shoot a major blow at her, so she threw herself at him.
Boom. Their attacks hit each other, and their bodies were bounced against each other due to repulsive force.
[Hahahaha! Egostic was right. You’re quite strong. It’s a nip-and-tuck race! I haven’t had a match like this in hundreds of years.]
Looking at the villain laughing and talking on the other side, she felt a surge of irritation.
…Yeah, so where’s Egostic? Why are you here?
While the battle lasted so long, she shouted at him and asked him about Egostic, who still hasn’t been seen.
“So, where’s Egostic that you mentioned and you’re by yourself?”
And her question scratched the itch of viewers watching the broadcast, wondering when Egostic would come out.
*
[Seriously haha. I’m watching to see Mango Stick, but when does Mango come?~~~]
[Feeling so refresh!!!]]
[After seeing this, I decided to support Stardus]
[Really, where’s Mango? Get rid of that weird old man!]
*
As viewers wait for Death Knight’s answer.
Death Knight.
[Hmm? Egostic?]
At the words of looking for an Egostic from her lips, he scratched the helmet with his finger as if he didn’t know what to say, and then laughed again and shouted like that.
[Egostic won’t come today! He said I’d be enough to deal with you! Hahahahahaha]
The one shouted out like that.
The chat windows went wild when they heard that Egostic not going to show up today.
*
[?????????]
[What is this? This isn’t right]
[No, it’s on at the Egostic show. What are you talking about?]
[Unbelievable]
[Mango Stick, come out!!!!!]
[ Hahahaha. That’s why I knew that something was off.]
[There’s no Mango today? There’s no Mango today? There’s no Mango today?]
[Huh? I’m getting angry]
[]
[Who’s that guy in the battle?]
[Icicle = Take the ship yourself and terrorize / Stardus = Leave it to someone else Hahahaha]
[Angry MAX]
[He crossed the line…]
*
While the comments are burning up.
Stardus was just standing still, looking down.
So, Egostic isn’t coming today?
Oh, well, that’s possible. Well, that doesn’t matter.
However, since the broadcast of Egostic turned on, of course, she only thought that Egostic would come out. Well, it doesn’t matter if that’s a different villain. She’s a hero anyway, a hero just needs to defeat villains and save the citizens, nothing else matters.
….But.
Why did he go all the way to Busan, and he personally dragged the ship somewhere and started terrorism against Icicle?
Did he just send a subordinate to himself?
[Egostic won’t come today! He said I’d be enough to deal with you! Hahahahaha]
It resonates in her ears. What that villain said earlier.
What? Enough to deal with?
Ha. Hahaha.
As she thought more about it, her eyes sank deeply.
Yes, the reason why she is boiling up inside is that Egostic ignored her. He dealt with Icicle himself directly with the ship, but he ignored her and sent only one of his underlings to her. As if he doesn’t have to deal with her anymore. That attitude, like he’s done with her now.
“…..”
She mashed at her lips.
……So, he doesn’t have to deal with her himself? Is it enough to make him do something else?
Well, let’s just show them it’s not.
And the moment she’s so determined.
The air around her began to change.
***
“What is it?”
Lying on the sofa and eating popcorn, I jumped to my feet at the sudden sight.
“Da-in, why?””
“No, wait a minute.”
I opened my mouth as I saw the strange look on camera around Stardus, and the little stones that began to rise around her.
It’s a phenomenon that happens when you awaken yourself..
Why is she suddenly awakening all of a sudden?
