Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Witch Hunt (6)
A video uploaded to Arfandia.
It was just one video, but the ripple effect it brought was enormous.
- Even if you fall behind, you have to fight. Connect right now.
-okay! If this is what happened, die like this or die like that, I have to fight first.
- Created a resistance guild in Maroon Kingdom. Anyone with an evil class is welcome.
The Black Flame Dragon of Darkness, the number one black magician who became a rich argamer.
With him as the focal point, all those who had been holding their breath until now began to gather little by little. And his video gave shock and fear to Arcadia employees who were struggling to deal with this situation.
“What is that!”
“No, there’s no way a user can reach that level! How did this happen!”
“Check the Dark Flame Dragon user information right now!”
A huge change that didn't include a single intention of the developer. It is a strange situation that the game company only confirms in real time after these changes take place in the game.
“So... are you saying that all the users from the evil faction are gathering in the Maroon Kingdom right now? To face the Holy Empire?”
“That's right. Currently, the access rate of users classified as evil camps is rapidly increasing. Perhaps everyone is going to rally around the user just mentioned and start an all-out war...” “
Ah, that user who was temporarily transformed into a special NPC. You said your name is... Dark Flame Dragon, right?”
In response to her question, the senior manager nodded slightly. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, then burst into a strange laugh.
“Um... the boss? Why are you doing that...”
An extreme situation in which a game that is fine now has users split into two factions and are preparing to end each other. In this serious situation where the game itself is on fire, the executive director who recommended Lee Mi-yeon's smile could not understand at all.
“Isn’t the managing director interesting?”
“...I'm not sure what that means.”
Managing Director Kwon Myung-han couldn't help but smile at the sight of the employees struggling to cover up the situation.
“People call Arcadia a game. But even though we didn't make it or plan it, a story is being created amidst many incidents and conflicts. The good that hates evil and wants to annihilate them, and the evil that fights hard to survive.”
It's virtual and just a game, but it's a world that sometimes feels more real than reality. In that world, President Lee Mi-yeon felt more rewarding than ever when she saw countless groups of people gathering together to create one huge story.
“Boss, but it’s really not good for users from the two continents to antagonize each other by occupation like this. Considering what we have planned for the future...”
“I know. However, as I said before, it happened in the story created by users. We, who pursue infinite freedom, cannot just ignore this quest as if it never existed in the first place.”
“I know that. But...”
“But.”
Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han tried to protest, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon raised her hand and interrupted him.
“We can minimize the damage this will cause.”
“.....”
Executive Director Kwon Myung-han made a puzzled expression at her meaningful words. President Lee Mi-yeon said, looking at him who didn't seem to understand what it meant.
“Ellis.”
[Nice to meet you, boss. What can I help you with?]
Alice, the artificial intelligence in charge of Arcadia. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of the company, told her.
“Is it possible to completely exempt users from the death penalty only for the evil faction of the chain quests that are currently in progress on the 2nd continent?”
[Users' request for some adjustments to the death penalty system.]
[Second-level manager Lee Mi-yeon, President Lee Mi-yeon's management authority is satisfied.]
[Deactivation of death penalty limited to evil camp users.]
“Yes! thank you! Alice!”
CEO Lee Mi-yeon greeted the monitor with a broad smile. And seeing her like that, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a bewildered expression.
“....president? What was that...?”
In response to that question, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a friendly smile.
“huh? Ah, first of all, if you compare it to the Sung Jin-young, the evil Jin-young is definitely far behind, right? So I gave it a little bit of merit.”
Instead of stopping the kids from fighting, they praised them to fight more and even gave them weapons. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon seemed to lose sight of her actions, but President Lee Mi-Yeon told him as if it were natural.
“Originally, if you are going to fight, you have to fight hotly and solve it. Isn't that what everyone is like?”
After hearing her words, the executive director realized that his superior, who holds the title of general manager of Arcadia, was enjoying the mess that was happening in the game more than anyone else.

After the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness became a rich argamer, adjustments were made to the linked quests, and a new wind of change blew to the users of the evil faction.
[Linked Quest Witch Hunt]
An evil lich argamer who dyed the continent in darkness in the past. Traces of his resurrection have been found again. As a result, everyone on the continent is working together to bring justice to the remnants of evil. Fight against it or help.
[Victory Conditions]
Holy faction
- Judgment of the wicked (8946765/49999900)
- Exterminate the lich argamer (0/1)
Evil faction
- Eliminate the Pope of the Saint Empire (0/1)
- Occupy Maroon Kingdom Go
to question mark The victory conditions of the evil camp, which were full of them, were finally revealed. Users talked while looking at these two victory conditions.
-Who's going into the lunatic's stronghold to catch the pope? Of course the latter is better.
- Isn't the Pope's estimated level 500 units?
-The Pope isn't the problem, just the holy knights that follow him around, wouldn't it be a level joke?
-First of all, it would be better to occupy the Maroon Kingdom than to capture the Pope. The Black Flame Dragon is also there.
First of all, the first victory condition was an unrealistic condition at the level of hanging a bell around a cat's neck, so people naturally chose the second best solution. And the hasty announcement from Arcadia Co., Ltd. further inflamed their fighting spirit. [We will temporarily completely waive the death penalty for
evil users by accepting complaints from players that this linked quest is abnormally disadvantageous to a certain camp.]
. Upon hearing the news that it had disappeared, both you and I logged on to the game as if we were competing.
And not long after they connected, a bloody war broke out all over the Maroon Kingdom.
“You damn priests! Did you like it because you killed me?”
“I’ll show you the fear of a level 10 thief!”
Low-level users who were busy running away the other day. When they see a priest or paladin with a beginner's weapon in their hand, they start to attack.
“A low-level subject with weak damage! Search! Judgment Crash!”
A mace that shines brightly with brilliance. Seeing the novice thief turn gray with just one skill, the paladin sneered and murmured.
“joy. Where is the subject of jjorep.... How dare you.....”
Uung-
“What is it? how....?”
The rogue you just killed. However, he was astonished to see the corpse disappear in an instant and regenerate in front of his eyes.
“I guess you haven’t seen the announcement that Heng’s death penalty has disappeared yet?”
With a confident look, the thief readjusted the novice dagger in his hand.
“What the hell kind of bullshit is that?”
puck!
The paladin brandished a mace and counterattacked the thief who rushed at him again. However, he was speechless as he collapsed into a gray light and immediately regenerated in a normal state.
“This is ridiculous...”
The novice thief smiled at him with a venomous face as he looked at him in shock.
“From now on, I will follow you until the moment you die. keep killing me Let's see who wins. I will pursue you even to the ends of hell.”
Spoon Killer. A killer who carries a spoon that is neither painful nor lethal, and follows him to the end, whether it be in the desert or the arctic, and beats him until he dies. The paladin realized that the novice thief standing in front of him was his very own Spoon Killer.

[The conflict between the castle camp and the evil camp has intensified.] [
The chaos between good and evil in Arcadia is increased.]
[A major change occurs in the confrontation between good and evil.]
[Calculation of appropriate contribution.... Probability Acquired 63921.]
[You have acquired the title ‘Designer of Darkness'.]
The black flame dragon of darkness that moves according to the picture designed by Jaeyoung.
The users of the evil faction gathered around him, who temporarily became a powerful being called Argamer. As they began to wage a bloody war with the users of the castle camp, a great probability began to pour into him.
“I didn’t expect it to be this intense... It must have been great that the game company removed the penalty.”
Two completely divided continents of Arcadia. Users who were divided into good and evil were engaged in a bloody and bloody civil war in which they killed and killed each other.
“Oh, my probability...! hey! master! There seems to be a lot of probability, but can you give me a little bit?”
Another thing that increased the probability was Tan, who recognized it like a ghost. He started begging for probability, screaming that he would die next to Jaeyoung.
“With your bare mouth?”
“hey! How much probabilities have I spent trying to get an Argamer out here? How bare-mouthed that is!”
Rich argamer. Tan directly brought out the essence of a certain high-ranking demon tribe, which was being decorated as a collection, and descended directly. Because of that, Tan, who consumed a lot of probability, shouted as if he was unfair, but Jaeyoung didn't blink an eye.
“Are you the only one who wrote probabilities? That's why I drove away all the probabilities I had. So, what kind of probability do you want more?”
Probability of 35887. Since it was a reward he had obtained in exchange for all the probabilities he had acquired by assassinating the Duke of Bergen and preventing the war, Jae-young spoke to Tan with a confident attitude.
“You decided to use all the probabilities I had and take care of the shortfall. Right El?”
“that's right. Just don't pay attention to what that bat says. Originally, it is very natural for the people of the Devil family to talk differently when they poop and when they come out, so if you believe what they say...
” L. Looking at her with a sullen expression, Tan got annoyed.
“ah! it's okay! I don't get it because I'm sorry! What are you doing with that!”
A grunt shot. Jaeyoung looked at L and asked, ignoring Tan's muttering.
“Anyway... El, as promised, will you lend me your strength this time?”
“sure. It's the moment to punish that cruel lich, of course I have to borrow it.”
L nodded his head and gave a satisfied smile. Jaeyoung looked at her and shouted.
“Kangsin.”
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
A list of countless strong people appearing in front of him when the skill is activated. From there, Jaeyoung pondered over and over again and was able to pick out one person.
[Kadiel, a knight of hardship and pilgrimage]
“Here... I'll use this one. would that be possible?”
“sure. His strength is more than enough to slay that evil lich.”
“.....”
Tan shows his dissatisfaction with a sullen expression. Jaeyoung said while watching Tan's protest.
“Don’t make that face. It's something you've agreed to.”
“That's true...”
“This work is also beneficial to you. you know?”
“.....”
Tan nodded without saying anything at that. Seeing him like that, I felt a little pity for him, but Jaeyoung soon used his strength.
[A celestial being dwells in the player's body.]
[The power of the existence dwelling in the player can be temporarily exercised.]
Uuuuuuuuuugh.
The pure white aura that dwells in Jaeyoung's body. Jaeyoung looked at the sword in his hand, feeling the incredibly pure flow of divine power.
grip support.
A sword that shakes and exudes tremendous holy power. Jaeyoung looked at L as he saw that it had the appearance of being an unusual object even at first glance.
“I did a bit of overdoing it to be sure.”
“crazy! Could that be the ‘End of Eternity'? Bring a holy sword to catch a lich right now?”
“Did I tell you? I'm ready for any sacrifice when it comes to slaying the bloody demons.”
“No, but... Wow... What a crazy bitch...”
Tan opened and closed his mouth as if he had nothing to say. Jaeyoung looked at the sword for a while, then fixed it and smiled.
“Then shall we go now? To punish the evil lich who is responsible for all these incidents.”
