Streaming of the Transcendent Hunter -33-

033.

“You’re going alone?”

Yorund looked disappointed.

The other Vikings following him were the same.

“Yes. I have something to do.”

“Are you sure? This is the land of the Saxon pigs. Alone, you······ Oh, come to think of it, you should be fine.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Nodding in understanding (nod)

-hahahaha, I saw a chance with the 21-year-old, but I couldn’t stop it.

Yorund, who had been hesitating to stop Ido Hyuk, stopped.

Pointing to the other Vikings, he said, “However, there are warriors here who want to follow you. How about taking them with us? They could be helpful.”

“Hmm!”

“Gunna, I’ll follow you too!”

The Vikings responded by raising their weapons in agreement to Yorund’s words.

Every single one of them was doing so.

Clang-

[You can now recruit companions.]

[Recruitment List]

And windows popped up.

It was a window where you could select companions to take with you.

-Oh

-Wow, all the companions are popping up here.

-Really? hahahaha

Ido Hyuk, who was looking at the chat, asked, “Isn’t this unusual?”

-Yeah, actually, after the tutorial ends, you usually only get 4 to 5 of them, but all of them popped up for you.

Even on the recruitment window that appeared for Ido Hyuk, there was one peculiar point.

-hahahaha, wait, is that Yorund?

-hahahaha, Yorund wants to come with you too?

Responding to the viewers’ comments, Ido Hyuk scrolled down slightly.

There was Yorund.

Not only the other Viking warriors but even Yorund himself hoped to become Ido Hyuk’s companion.

“Well, what are the benefits of traveling with them?”

-They help in fights.

-They appear and help when you blow the horn.

-Also, there are frequent 1 vs. 1 battles, so it’s best to travel with 5 to 10 people.

-But you have to distribute the loot, hahahaha.

“I see.”

Ido Hyuk pondered for a moment.

Would it be right to recruit companions here?

If so, who should he take with him?

As he examined the recruitment window closely, it seemed that he could also check the abilities of the warriors.

“Yorund popping up is hilarious, hahahaha.”

– If you finish the tutorial with a high score, you’ll stand out.

– hahahaha, we’re going straight to the clips.

From Noble mtl dot com

Checking the viewers’ reactions, Itohyuk quickly made a decision.

“I’ll take only one person with me.”

In reality, it seemed like help wouldn’t be necessary in battle, but he was planning to take someone as a guide.

And the colleague Itohyuk chose was…

“Lead the way, Captain!”

It was Yorund.

As soon as he became a colleague, his tone changed.

-hahahahaha

-Role reversal in the world, seriously

-Wow;;

-Hey, this is hilarious

-The other Vikings are raiding the Nakdong River, lol

-Yorund brought him here and then just ditched him, lol

**

How should they find Beowulf, the target of the mission?

They could ask the viewers or find a strategy, but for now, Itohyuk decided to gather information in the game.

It would add more immersion for those watching the broadcast.

“Rockfist Beowulf? Ah, that’s a familiar name.”

Luckily, Yorund knew who Beowulf was.

“He was once Dregnr, who served as a king’s champion. But after the king’s death, he lost his honor.”

Dregnr meant a valiant warrior in Viking terminology.

And the king referred to Ragnar Lodbrok, who, through his death, triggered the rebellion of the Heathen Army in the story.

“Engaging in banditry?”

“Rumors suggest so. He’s said to be plundering villages somewhere in Suss*x.”

Suss*x wasn’t too far from where Itohyuk was currently located.

Perhaps the viewers who initiated the mission were aware of this, hence the mission.

Ding-

An alert sounded.

『Although the path may be lost now, Beowulf was once a renowned warrior among Ragnar’s champions. If he is the great warrior blessed by Odin, you should be able to guide him back to Valhalla.』

『Current Objective: Warrior’s Recognition (1/5)』

-[Find Beowulf to earn the recognition of the warriors]

The Odin’s Son quest they had received earlier had been updated.

-Wow

-Is this all connected like this?

-The mission’s foresight is incredible

-Oh, it even shows the location

Checking the quest window as mentioned in the chat, Beowulf’s residence was detailed more than Yorund’s description.

Currently, Beowulf is described as leading a band of thieves in the northeast of the s*x region.

“Let’s head straight there.”

They utilized the game feature to find their way.

Marking on the mini-map, arrows appeared guiding the path.

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop—

Since they had to cover a long distance, a mount was essential.

It was Ido-hyuk who rode the horse they had obtained after finding where Carol and the Saxon soldiers had stayed.

Though it was his first time riding a horse, he had become somewhat accustomed to it while exploring the tutorial area beforehand.

“I hope no enemies show up.”

In any game, there were inevitably dull moments.

Riding a horse right now, in order to catch up to Beowulf, was particularly challenging for Ido-hyuk, who was truly a complete beginner in comparison to the broadcasts.

He would rather have repeated battles, which would have been more comfortable.

Ido-hyuk was eagerly hoping for enemies to appear soon.

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop—

But contrary to Ido-hyuk’s wishes, for a while, not even a single animal appeared, let alone enemies.

“If Beowulf appears?”

“It might take a while lol”

“Do you think we’ll encounter any Saxon soldiers on the way?”

In reality, the speed at which chat messages were coming in had significantly decreased compared to before, just as Ido-hyuk had worried.

“Well, nothing we can do about it.”

How to make the parts where viewers might feel bored more entertaining was a challenge for the streamer at times like this.

Jian and Black Oak had emphasized the importance of maintaining viewers’ excitement at times like this.

In that case…

“Everyone, I’ll give you a quiz.”

It was time to test Ido-hyuk’s ability as a streamer.

-?

-Quiz?

-;; Out of the blue?

Ido-hyuk chuckled and said, “If you get it right, there’s a prize.”

-What is it?

-What prize?

“Well… um… how about a 1v1 in Alpa?”

-Oh

-Another wrong answer

-But doesn’t a 1v1 with Dohyuk-sensei sound appealing lol

-Will you add me as a friend?

“If you win in Alpa, I’ll add you as a friend. Just so you know, it’s day 3.”

– It’s the third day, but I think I’ll do well lol

– I used to be a high-tier player back in the day, should I give it a shot?

– Let’s start with the quiz first, go go

“Sure. I’ll go with the quiz. Just so you know, you have 5 seconds. Do you know why people are happy in the shade?”

-?

-What’s that?

-Shade?

-You mean the shade makes you happy because it’s cool?

-When it’s hot, entering the shade makes you happy

Checking the chat window, it seemed more lively than before.

“…2…1… Time’s up.”

However, despite the increased speed of the chat, no one got the answer right.

In the end, Ido Hyuk revealed the answer himself.

“The answer is… avoiding the sun. Avoiding the sun, and being happy when you’re avoiding it.”

And,

-?

-???

-What the…

-Not easy..

-??

-?

-Wow…

-It’s annoying how they even explain it at the end

-LOL Am I the only one laughing?

-hahahaha

-Ha…

The chat window started to fill up at a speed incomparable to before.

**

“Alright, here’s the next quiz. What rises rapidly when the ground goes up?”

-Oh

-Please…

-Please;

The festival of dad jokes continued.

Viewers responded fervently, mostly asking for it to stop.

“Time’s up! No one got it right this time either. The answer is the roof! It means the ground went up.”

-LOL

-(Jian) Ah;

-Is this what they call MZ humor?

– No one has hit the mark, or could it be that no one even tried?

– hahahahaha;;

[Current viewers: 5,967]

However, contrary to such reactions, the number of viewers is almost constant.

Before Black Oak left, the peak was 6,600, and after his departure to find Beowulf, it gradually decreased to 5,500.

Since Lee Dohyuk started his dad jokes, the numbers have been fluctuating between 5,900 and 6,000, increasing gradually.

“It seems like no one’s being honest.”

Even though they chat like that, deep down they enjoy their humor.

With such thoughts, Lee Dohyuk chuckled.

– Oh, you’re really making me mad by laughing.

– Seriously, it’s annoying how you smirk after giving the right answer alone, lol.

– Beowulf, come out quickly, it’s been 10 minutes.

Viewers hoping for a battle scene to appear soon.

Will someone heed these wishes?

“There! Freeze-!!”

A loud shout echoed from afar.

And then, a sudden cut.

The view shifts into the air.

From above, Beowulf’s fortress is illuminated at an angle that shines down below.

Almost like a fortress.

There are tower-like structures scattered around, and thieves standing guard with a solemn air.

The one who summoned Lee Dohyuk is among these vigilant thieves.

He had spotted him while patrolling outside the fortress.

– Whoa.

– Finally.

– Ssss.

– Freedom.

“Hmm, there are more thieves than I thought.”

As the cut is nearing its end, Lee Dohyuk remarked.

There were easily over a few dozen thieves illuminated by the light.

Considering those not visible, they would easily surpass fifty.

“We have to break through all of them to find Beowulf.”

– Yeah.

– How should we break through?

– If we sneak in and just swiftly take out Beowulf, wouldn’t that clear the mission?

– Sounds good.

At that moment, two thieves approached Lee Dohyuk.

“Who are you!”

“Looks like a Viking? Are you the boss’s guest?”

With a system of their own, the thieves formed pairs to stand guard, ready for anything.

Ildohyuk raised both hands to signal that he meant no harm.

Upon this, two bandits approached even closer.

The bandits stopped about five steps away.

“You, yo–!”

Swish-

Swish-

At that moment, Ildohyuk drew a throwing axe from his waist and hurled it.

Two axes flew out at a rapid speed.

Clang!

“Ugh!”

However, unlike the foes encountered in the tutorial, one of the bandits deflected the flying axe with a shield.

The other raised his arm to protect his head, avoiding a fatal blow.

Thud!

Meanwhile, Ildohyuk was closing in on them.

In no time, he had combat axes in both hands.

Shing!

The axe in his right hand sliced through the waist of the bandit on the right.

The one who had blocked the initial thrown axe with his arm.

Due to not holding the weapon properly, it was a deep strike.

Crash!

While blocking a polearm that was coming towards him with the opposite axe, Ildohyuk.

It was a continuous exchange like flowing water.

-Whoa

-This is a double axe

-Quit with the dad jokes

-?

-That’s a bit much;

“Oh, the enemies seem to have leveled up.”

Seems like they found their way to the latter stages first.

They’re definitely leveled up.

Ildohyuk grinned and swung his arms.

The axes in his hands moved like a dance.

Clang! Clang!

“Keh!”

“Argh!”

Then came the sound of two screams.

Ildohyuk’s axe blades precisely cutting through the vulnerable spots not covered by armor and helmet.

Ping-

[“Eclipse” has donated 10,000 won.]

-They have indeed leveled up;; Not a one-shot but a two-shot;;

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

-Blocking my attacks is considered high-level? hahahaha

-That’s a good one

-Oh, a 5-second-cut, nice

Having dealt with the two bandits on the outer perimeter, Ido-hyuk could now quietly approach the mountain chalet, having not alerted anyone inside and having killed in silence.

Ring-

[“FragileViking” has donated 1,000 won.]

-By the way, if you blow the horn you received earlier, a Yorund will appear somewhere. It won’t be heard by enemies in the game system

-It’s in real mode, but enemies can’t hear it, a bit unfair, hahahaha

-True, but if they could hear it, the timing for blowing the horn would be too difficult

-Oh, I’m curious about Yorund’s combat power

At that moment, Donation revealed to Ido-hyuk a function that allowed him to summon allies he recruited into battle.

Hearing this, Ido-hyuk raised the horn.

The horn found inside the bodies of the dead bandits.

-?

-Sir?

-Yes?

-Not that, I mean

Wooosh-

Suddenly, he blew it forcefully.

Ido-hyuk spoke up.

“A brave Viking doesn’t resort to ambushes.”

-hahahahaha

-hahahaha

-As a Viking, I can confirm that

-Vikings don’t talk like that…
