Second Life Ranker Chapter 705 – Earth (Chapter 1)

Chapter 705 – Earth (1)

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

The players who were watching the situation, including Wei Chen/‘Big Mountain’ and Daniel/‘Kill King’, and the players who had just arrived at the scene all turned pale as if their faces had been drained of all blood.

For a moment, they wondered if they had seen something wrong.

Sesha/Cha So-yeong was famous for being proud and not smiling often.

Amongst the world of players, there were only a few who were close to her. She publicly drew a line with all other players and made sure that they never crossed it.

However, she maintained a good public image due to her active participation in charity events and volunteer work. Additionally, she had a beautiful appearance that would probably never be seen again in anyone’s lifetime, often being compared to the great actress Audrey Hepburn, who had a beautiful heart that matched her physical beauty.

Thus, it was shocking to see such a So-yeong run into the group of otherworld gods and shout out ‘uncle’.

At first, everyone wondered what her words meant.

Uncle?

It was widely known that Cha So-yeong’s uncle had disappeared ten years ago, on the day of the beginning.

That was the reason why she had appeared in various gatherings and associations that looked for missing people after the appearance of the gates. It was also the reason she was leading this event.

Her long-lost uncle…

Was she able to miraculously find her uncle like how the other returnees found their missing persons? Or was it that she just instinctively called for him because of the situation?

Though the exact reason was unknown, it did not really matter.

Suddenly, the crystal that the otherworld gods had gathered around broke. Black and red lightning bolts soon fell one after another.

This sudden change of events came as a great shock to the players.

Since the opening of the gates, the players had been through countless different situations. Although they were used to seeing nonsensical phenomena, the destructive power of these lightning bolts was something beyond their comprehension.

Soon the surrounding forest, made up of sturdy trees that seemed unbreakable, was ripped apart.

The otherworld gods were soon riddled with holes and looked like swiss cheese. Their tattered body parts scattered into the air.

Even the gods and demons of the world, who claimed to protect humans, were reluctant to bump into even one of these otherworld gods. However, they had been dispatched with such ease…

[Warning! You are now in the most dangerous zone! You are strongly advised to escape the area!]

[Warning! You are being exposed to the most dangerous powers! We strongly recommend that you leave the area as soon as possible!]

[Warning! You are…]

…

Urgent system messages were rapidly appearing in every player’s retina.

The players amounted to nothing in this place, so they were advised to run away without looking back if they wanted to survive.

However, the players were all already in a state of shock after seeing the effects of the sword thunder strike.

Moreover, even after the sword thunder’s main strike had scattered, the thick stench of burning, the cindering caused by the sparks left behind by the sword thunder strike, and the air that was so hot and sticky that it took one’s breath away had taken all the strength out of the players’ legs.

The players felt that they might instantly be vaporized if they moved and made the other aware of their presence.

Furthermore, Daniel, an Apostle of Vayu, a god in ‘Deva’, received a completely new type of message.

[Message has arrived from Vayu.]

[Message: H-how… how the hell is he here…?]

Since becoming Vayu’s Apostle, Daniel had always been protected from danger by his god. Thus, for Daniel, Vayu was like a vast, omnipotent, and unreachable sky. However, at this moment, Daniel could feel the tension through the Channel that connected him to Vayu.

Beyond that, Daniel also picked up on the embarrassment and fear that permeated deeply in Vayu’s voice.

[A message has arrived from Vayu.]

[Message: My child. Hurry! You need to get out of there! Wake up! Hurry up and leave!]

‘My god. Why are you saying such things? Who is that person…?’

Daniel could not help but be stunned by his god’s reaction.

Daniel could not understand why Vayu was showing such an intense emotional reaction.

When the otherworld gods had appeared, Vayu had confidently stated that Daniel would be protected, and Daniel was told by Vayu that he could go ahead and save So-yeong if he wanted.

Moreover, Vayu was one of the most prominent beings in the heavenly world, to the extent that Vayu even possessed the nickname ‘Heavenly Wind’.

Additionally, Vayu was also one of the eight great gods that represented the godly society of ‘Deva’.

This was why Daniel was able to become one of the strongest amongst all human beings.

Daniel narrowed his eyes. True to his title as the Kill King, he had excellent eyesight, so he could accurately recognize what his opponent was doing even from a great distance.

Daniel could see that the being who had caused such a commotion was male, had black hair, and had black eyes. Even the clothes he was wearing were black, but there was nothing else that stood out. He looked like a typical Northeastern Asian male.

The being did not have the aura of intimidation that gods and demons had, and he did not have the overwhelming presence of power that the top players would normally give off.

He just looked like a relatively handsome ordinary human. Then why…?

[A message has arrived from Vayu.]

[Message: W-w-what are you doing right now! I said run…! I-if you happen to get caught by him…!]

Though Vayu had nervously shouted in the Channel to prevent Daniel from doing anything stupid…

The dark-haired man, Yeon-woo, turned his gaze towards Daniel. Yeon-woo and Daniel’s eyes met.

At that moment, Daniel thought his heart had stopped beating.

If it was not for his open Channel with Vayu, Daniel would have thought that he had already died from shock.

Just by making eye contact, Daniel felt like he had fallen into a deep abyss that seemed to exist within the other’s eyes. Daniel felt that the mysterious man was slowly eating his soul.

The instinctive fear that all living beings possessed inevitably reared its head within Daniel.

It was a primal emotion that Daniel had no choice but to feel when confronted with the concept of ‘death’ itself. The difference in their power level was so great that one would never consider the other a fellow human being.

“Ugh, argh!”

Daniel screamed as his complexion turned white. Daniel turned around and started aimlessly running like a headless chicken.

“K-kill King…?”

“Calm down, Daniel! Why are you acting like this!”

The other players shouted out to Daniel, not understanding his behavior, but Daniel did not heed their calls.

[A message has arrived from Vayu.]

[Message: My child. Calm down…!]

“Get out of my way!”

Though Vayu tried to calm Daniel down, Daniel, who had already gone half-mad from fright, drew his sword and started swinging it around haphazardly at the people who stood in his way.

At that moment…

“Stop moving.”

At the sound of a low voice, Daniel’s actions suddenly stopped.

The voice was very quiet, but strangely, it stuck right in everyone’s ear.

There was a power in the voice that could not be resisted, so Daniel and the other players suddenly stopped as if time itself had stopped. Even Vayu, who was connected by the Channel…

[A message has arrived from Vayu.]

[Message: … Ah… I guess you’re fucked.]

Vayu’s deep sigh was the last thing that reached Daniel’s ears.

「This is so exhilarating and stimulating for Laplace! Ah! Ah! Master, please lay down an even bigger, thicker, and more exhilarating punishment…!」
