Level 1 Player

Chapter 188 The Emperor’s timid challenge

A trap using a magnetic barrier hit the jackpot.

The princes of the giant dimension who remained in the dimension of Lucia were arranged in one room.

‘Now I have to wait another hundred days.’

But there was no need to withdraw immediately.

The dimension gate was still silent.

‘More electronic sensing devices on the dimensional gates and dedicated to the rescue work.’

All the servants of the enemies who had lost their monarch fell under Hyunseong.

Of course, there were many who had withdrawn their oath of allegiance.

However, the number of those who did not withdraw their oath of allegiance and remained under Hyunseong was also not formidable.

Hyunseong used them to launch a massive rescue operation.

As a result.

[Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Mythic Rank]

-You have saved more than 32 million allies for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [The first person who saved more than 32 million allies – Mythic Rank]

In an instant, the achievement went up to the Mythic level.

‘This is just the beginning.’

A total of 64 million allies must be saved to obtain the Transcendental Rank achievement.

‘Given the current trend, it is not difficult at all.’

Hyunseong thought that the emperor, who had lost 30 princes, would carry out a massive subjugation operation as before.

However, the emperor was surprisingly quiet.

Feeling puzzled by this, Hyunseong attempted to reconnaissance the dimensions of the giants through the servants of the giants.

After reconnaissance, Hyunseong noticed why the emperor was not moving his troops.

‘I was afraid of Jjajjik.’

The emperor was terrified.

Far from subjugation, he was in the midst of preparing for defense to protect his dimension.

‘It seems that you misunderstood that I wiped out 30 princes by force.’

Whether it’s Guest or Jenna, Hyunseong didn’t have that much power.

However, the emperor misunderstood that Hyunseong had such power.

‘I have nothing to lose.’

If Hyunseong really had that much power, he would have rotted his head to see the emperor’s contrast.

It was because the emperor had carried out a very thorough defense operation.

However, Hyunseong could not afford to invade the dimension of the giants ruled by the emperor.

No, he was also in a situation where it was impossible to guarantee that he would reclaim the dimension of their colony, Lucia, far from invading the dimensions of the giants.

However, the emperor’s misunderstanding has resulted in a great help to Hyunseong.

‘The giants who have occupied the dimension of Lucia are all driven out and returned.’

It’s not just about rescuing people.

The dimension that was taken away by the enemy player will be returned by the friendly player.

‘It definitely gives an achievement.’

He also gave achievements to simply rescuing people.

Then, finding the dimension also had a high probability of giving an achievement.

‘Keep that quiet.’

Hyunseong made a large-scale occupation operation with a bright smile.

the goal has changed.

By occupation, not by structure.

Hyunseong mobilized players from the Earth and Partisia dimensions to drive out the Giants and quickly devoured the Lucia dimension.

However, the giants did not show any reaction as to whether they had given up the dimension of Lucia as a colony.

No scouts were sent either.

And he raised the level of vigilance on the mainland and prepared a thorough defense posture.

‘Stupid bastards.’

Hyunseong has no intention of invading the dimension of the giants.However, the giants are defending against Hyunseong’s invasion.

‘It’s like shadowboxing alone with a lot of guards on.’

The giants assume that their hypothetical enemy is much stronger than themselves and are working hard on defense training.

‘Thank you.’

Hyunseong smiled brightly.

Thanks to the giants, he was able to obtain quite a lot of achievements.

[Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Creation Rank]

-You have saved more than 128 million allies for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [The first person who saved more than 128 million allies – Creation level][Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Creation Rank]

-You have recaptured a friendly dimension that was occupied by the enemy for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [The first to recapture an ally dimension occupied by an enemy – Creation level][Unbelievable Achievement – ​​Rare Rating]

-You have won two dimensional wars for the first time.

-Achievement Reward: Title [The first to win the Second Dimensional War – Rare Grade]

These three were representative examples, and he obtained numerous other achievements.

‘But, just by reclaiming the friendly dimension, you are recognized as a victor in the dimensional war.’

Hyunseong thought that in the case of ‘the first person who won the second dimension war’, it would be necessary to occupy the dimension of the giants.

But that wasn’t it.

‘Maybe the dimensional war between allies is also recognized as an achievement.’

There is a division between the allies and the enemies.

But there was no law prohibiting fighting among allies.

‘Is Partisha’s dimension not fully occupied yet, so the achievements haven’t come up?’

There were many things that were lacking, such as the number of people and the territories occupied.

Even if you can’t take over the dimensions of the half-human, half-dragons, what if you only succeed in defending?

‘There is a high probability that the achievement will be recognized.’

Because of this, Hyunseong desperately realized that conquering many dimensions was the way to become stronger.

He has only conquered two dimensions and has achieved numerous achievements.

What if 20 dimensions were occupied?

What if two hundred?

He might be reborn as an existence that is difficult to compare with the present Hyunseong.

‘If there is an opportunity, let’s try it.’

Coordinates to go to other dimensions are not easily obtained.

What’s the easiest way to get coordinates going to another dimension?

It was a case of meeting people such as Partisha or Lucia through hiring mercenaries.

‘Let’s try it.’

What if we properly use the magnetic barrier and engage in a hit-and-run guerrilla war like this one?

I thought it was worth doing.

* * *

‘Why aren’t these guys coming?’

After 30 princes were slaughtered, the emperor trembled in fear.

It seemed that the strong man who had killed 30 princes at any moment of his own would invade his dimension.

However, there was no sign of an invasion at all.

‘Am I mistaken?’

I suddenly felt like that.

What if it wasn’t just one absolute strong man who killed 30 princes, but the enemies pushed them with a multitude of forces?

What if that power isn’t strong enough to invade your dimension?

‘It’s still a threat, but… … .’

There was no need to tremble in fear like now.

‘I need information.’

However, the scouts that were sent sporadically were blocked like a ghost.

It was the same when using an item that changed the appearance.‘I’m going to try this.’

The emperor looked at the smartphone in his hand.

Smartphones have nothing to do with horsepower.

In other words, it was possible to deliver information even when the magical force field was spread out.

‘Let’s try it.’

The emperor summoned his princes.

After that, he mobilized a total of 100 princes to prepare for a major attack.

The rest of the princes were also waiting at the dimension gate.

Smartphones have also been released extensively.

Just in case, the servants exchanged with each other.

So that the prince who went to attack can tell you the situation right away.

‘I can’t go on my own.’

If you make a mistake, your neck may fly off.

So he couldn’t go there on his own.

“There are one hundred princes.”

This was quite a risky challenge for the emperor as well.

But it was also necessary.

What if the enemy’s power is weaker than expected?

Troops waiting on the mainland will cross the dimensional gate.

The problem was the opposite.

What if the enemy’s power is stronger than you think?

As an emperor, he would lose all 100 princes and their troops.

– Advance!

The emperor gave the order to march through the cry of the overlord.

At the same time, 100 princes and 300,000 troops began to march toward the dimension gate.

* * *

‘many.’

Hyunseong opened his mouth when he saw the giants that had crossed the dimensional gate.

The army was really huge.

There were also a lot of powerful lords.

‘There is no emperor.’

He could have been hiding.

But there was a possibility that it wouldn’t.

‘Would you like to avoid it?’

If you open the dimension gate and retreat, Hyunseong takes no damage.

But he loses the dimension he barely gained.

Then his achievements could be lost.

‘Let’s do it.’

The cooldown of the magnetic barrier has returned.

‘If I annihilate the enemies within the activation time of the magnetic barrier, it is my victory.’

What if you can’t win in it?

You just have to retreat.

-Prepare a magnetic barrier.

Hyunseong prepared a magnetic barrier.

And he continued to monitor the movements of the giants.

‘uh?’

Meanwhile, something familiar to Hyunseong’s eyes came into view.

‘It’s a smartphone.’

The princes were attaching their smartphones to their bodies.

‘Is the emperor a level 1 player after all?’

He seemed to know what the emperor was thinking.

‘It would be impossible to know more detailed information from that.’

Hyunseong smiled and prepared the EMP.

‘It’s lying down and eating rice cakes to disable electronic equipment.’

Hyunseong prepared the trap step by step.

Magnetic barriers, magical force fields, and even EMP.

It was a measure to minimize the information passed to the enemy.

‘We have to get rid of the princes as soon as possible.’

He couldn’t afford to cast Overlord’s Shout.

* * *

Thump thump!

A large army of giants advanced without hesitation.

‘Why are you so quiet?’

The commander-in-chief of this war, Fidarima, had a puzzled expression on his face.

As soon as they crossed the dimensional gate, they expected the enemy’s total attack to pour in.

But it was surprisingly quiet.

“Huh?”

That was then.

The enemy camp entered Fidarima’s eyes.

The enemies built a huge castle and locked themselves in it.

‘Your defense is solid.’

Defensive skills were applied to the extent that the huge castle itself was considered to be a single item.

‘Do you believe in sex?’

I admit that the defense of the castle is strong.

However, there were too few troops stationed inside the castle.

‘The overall level is also low.’

As a result of detecting it with the detection skill, the level of the garrisoned troops did not seem to be very high.

‘What do you mean? Is it a trap?’

Fidarima looked around directly.

But there were no enemies in this area.

‘Then there is a magical force field.’

It meant that reinforcements could not come through large-scale space movement skills.

‘What should I do?’

Is it right to attack?

Or is it better to avoid it?

‘Let’s try it.’

The reason they crossed the dimensional gate was to fight, not to avoid.

“First Army Attack.”

Fidarima ordered the attack.

But it wasn’t a gun attack.

As a test, only those with an appropriate level were allowed to advance.

“Wow!”

An army of about 60,000 giants rushed in.

The prince was not included.

That was then.

Fragile! Whoops!

Jet-black thunder and flames that fell from the fortress walls covered the heavens and the earth.

“Aaaaaah!”

“Aaaaaah!”

The entire army of the 1st Army was destroyed.

However, the middle and rear troops still remained.

Aaaaah!

At that time, jet-black magic rose up around the castle.

Wow! Wow!

At the same time, 100,000 undead appeared and attacked the middle and rear troops.

“Aaaah!”

“Gagging!”

“help me!”

With the advent of the Undead, the tide of war was completely reversed.

A total of 60,000 First Army units were completely annihilated without seeing any attacking skills towards the castle.

‘There was also a hidden number.’

Fidarima clenched her teeth.

‘If the princes come forward, it will be possible to organize enough.’

Shall we go? not?

Fidarima continued to worry.

– Mobilize all the princes to attack.

At that time, the emperor, who was reporting the situation in real time through his smartphone, gave an order.

“Yes, my lord.”

Fidarima, who received the emperor’s order, gave the order to attack.

“Advance all troops!”

“Wow!”

As soon as the order was issued, the main force of the giant giants marched forward.

Not everyone went on the attack.

A number of scouts were filming the battle situation of friendly and enemy troops through their smartphones.

* * *

‘come.’

A bright smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips.

‘I avoided the situation I was most worried about.’

There was only one situation that Hyunseong was most worried about.

It was to attack the princes by splitting them in two.

However, the enemies have already experienced 30 lords being annihilated in an instant.

Perhaps that’s why, instead of dispersing the princes, they gathered them in one place and launched a general offensive.

‘That’s your defeat.’

I think you’re trusting the scouts with their smartphones… … .

When the EMP exploded, it had no choice but to be incapacitated.

Aww!

The undead corps guarding around the castle were swept away with a huge explosion.

“Sweep them all away!”

“How dare you block our way with these guys!”

As soon as the princes came forward, the undead army collapsed in an instant.

“Break the gates!”

Aww! Aww!

Attack skills filled with powerful magic flew towards the gates in succession.

He made all sorts of preparations, but he couldn’t stop the lords’ attack.

Whoops!

The gates were shattered with a loud bang.

“let’s go!”

“Wow!”

The giants rushed in like a wave through the gates.

The allies launched an onslaught from above the wall.

But as long as the gates were open, there was no way to stop the enemies.

‘I think I’m almost there.’

The inside of the huge castle, which was empty, was filled with giants.

The giants were attacking the allies on the wall, and the allies were struggling with the wall as a shield.

‘This should be enough.’Not only the princes, but also all the troops of the enemy entered the castle.

– Activate it.

Hyunseong gave the command through the overlord’s cry.

At that moment, the EMP exploded.

At the same time, all electronic devices, including smartphones, that had been working fine until recently stopped working all at once.

“what?”

“What’s happening?”

The expression of the embarrassment of the princes caught my eye.

But the enemies were already like rats in poison.

‘I didn’t choose this place for nothing.’

The activation range of the magnetic barrier is not very wide.

Therefore, in order to include so many enemy forces within the range of the self-barrier, the enemy forces had to be tightly packed.

just like now

– Activate the magnetic barrier.

At the same time as Hyunseong’s command, the magnetic barrier was activated.

The moment the magnetic barrier was activated, Hyunseong, Lucia, Partisha, and Cairo all released the magical power that had been condensed.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The enemy forces that had gathered inside the castle had literally evaporated with a loud explosion.

Without even having time to tell anyone else about their situation.

* * *

-Fidarima, a subordinate, has died.

– His subordinate Gavru has died.

– His subordinate Cherdi has died.

… … aftermath… …

‘crazy.’

The emperor’s expression hardened into a mess.

Everything was prepared to get information.

But all of that became useless.

All of a sudden, the information from the smartphone that was handed out to the princes and scouts was cut off.

The emperor tried to understand the situation through the subjects of the princes.

He thought that the princes would inform the situation with the cry of the overlord.

However, before the overlord’s shout could inform the situation, the princes under his command were annihilated.

Even in a short period of less than one second.

‘What should I do?’

The emperor bit his nails with an anxious look.

But there was only one conclusion.

‘Let’s hold on.’

The emperor immediately ordered the defensive posture through the cry of the overlord.

I decided not to ask any more questions about why they didn’t cross the dimension gate that leads to their dimension.

‘Something must be happening.’

You’re at war with other places, or you can’t afford to stabilize your colony, etc.

If you think about it, the reasons were full.

‘It’s okay to give up the colony and throw it away.’

After all, it was a colony obtained for free.

What really mattered was your dimension.

* * *

‘It doesn’t fall over.’

Hyunseong was wary of further provocations by the giants.

What if the enemy dispatches additional troops before the cooldown of the magnetic barrier returns?

Hyunseong had no choice but to give up the dimension of Lucia and return.

But that didn’t happen.

Hyunseong dispatched a scout made up of giants.”Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Upon hearing the scouts’ report, Hyunseong burst into laughter.

A whopping 100 princes and 300,000 battalions were annihilated.

That seems to have given the emperor quite a lot of fear.

‘I was terrified.’

The emperor was hunched over, with all his troops mobilized in defense.

‘If this is enough, you won’t have to worry about additional provocations for the time being.’

He could not subdue the dimensions of the giants.

However, he was able to save those who were living a life of slavery under the control of the giants.

‘Let’s try it.’

The battle with the giants gave Hyunseong confidence.

Those who take off their bridles like Gespit and Jenna, or those who are close to them like the half-human, half-dragon, can’t help but do it as Hyunseong.

But such people were very few.

Like the emperor of the giants, there were more opponents to try with the power of magnetic barriers and strategies.

‘Anyway, if you stay still, you will be culled.’

Hyunseong decided to move a little more actively.

Until he becomes the one out of the bridle.

Of course, there were a few things we had to do before that.

It was the job of recruiting a newb.

‘A holder of large-scale space movement skills must be secured.’

To do this, Locard, the lord of Lenoel, who possesses long-distance space movement skills, had to be placed under Hyunseong.

‘Should I leave it to Lucia?’

Lucia only takes care of his descendants, Lokad, but he does not reveal his identity.

Hyunseong also respected Lucia’s choice and pretended not to know.

‘I’d love to do that.’

Hyunseong called Lucia and explained the situation.

“Yes, I will persuade myself. Being under the master’s command will be of great help to Locard and his players.”

Lucia readily accepted Hyunseong’s offer.

And he persuaded Locard without difficulty.

No, the expression of persuasion was also funny.

It was because Locard also wanted to go under Hyunseong.

Hyunseong is the savior who saved their dimension and their people.

He is also a strong man who can protect himself from the strong in the other dimension.

Locard, who had been deprived of a dimension and experienced a life of slavery by his people, had no objection to entering under the control of the powerful Hyunseong.

“Shin Locard will serve Choi Hyunseong as its master and will do its best. My sword will become a blade that cuts through your foes, and my body will become a shield that protects you. This is an oath on the honor of a knight that cannot be broken even by death.”

Locard set the example of a knight and swore allegiance to Hyunseong.

Hearing those words, a faint smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips.

This is because Locard swore an oath of allegiance to Toshi that was no different from when Lucia swore an oath of allegiance to Hyunseong in the past.

“I wish you all the best in the future.”

Hyunseong smiled and accepted the card under his control.

As a result of embracing the locard, Hyunseong was able to freely manipulate Lenoel, who possesses large-scale long-distance space movement skills.

‘Let’s grow some first.’

Lenoel was in a state where he was engrossed in all his stats with his magical powers.

Hyunseong filled Lenoel’s lack of stats through an elixir and made him hunt.

It was an investment in order to use Lenoel properly.

* * *

After rearranging and raising his subordinate forces, Hyunseong actively moved to achieve his goals.

The first thing Hyunseong did was hire mercenaries.

But it wasn’t easy for him to begin with.

‘Even at the lowest, my ransom is too high.’

Hyunseong’s mercenary rank had risen so high that it was difficult to find an employer.

Even if he was hired as a mercenary, it was not an environment in which Hyunseong could guarantee an absolute advantage.‘Let’s change the situation.’

For this reason, the method Hyunseong chose was partisan.

Partisha has a lower mercenary rank than Hyunseong or Lucia.

The only downside was that she couldn’t open dimension gates.

‘If I open the dimensional gate, that’s enough.’

The method Hyunseong chose was to negotiate with the employer through a partisan and then hire him.

‘It’s okay if you think of it as the same as the contract you made with Luciana Partisia.’

Refunds all mercenary hire costs excluding fees.

Then the employer could save the cost of hiring mercenaries, and Hyunseong was happy to be able to easily find out the coordinates to go to another dimension.

But not everything went smoothly.

First, it was a job to convince the employer.

A mercenary contract guarantees absolute safety for the employer.

In the case of opening the one-dimensional gate and crossing over, it was safe for Hyunseong to kill the employer who hired him as a mercenary.

Because of this risk, I did not accept Hyunseong’s proposal unless it was a desperate situation.

However, after repeated attempts, a dimension that finally accepted Hyunseong’s proposal appeared.

Of course, it was the case that I agreed to the deal with Hyunseong with the feeling that the fire fell on my foot right away and I died and died.

Hyunseong fought to the best of his ability.

In the process, the necromancer Shizura, the extermination squad that he had been raising for a long time, and Lenoel, who possesses long-distance space movement skills, were of great help.

After a fierce battle, Hyunseong was finally able to accomplish the feat of saving another dimension following Lucia’s.

Hyunseong did not make unreasonable demands on the newly saved level as he did at the level of Partisia and Lucia.

They just naturally created a situation where they had no choice but to swear an oath of allegiance to them.

‘This is the beginning.’

I only got one more dimension.

Hyunseong had no intention of being satisfied with this level.

Hyunseong continued to open the dimension gates, rescue the friendly dimension and take the enemy dimension.

Each time, Hyunseong was able to get achievements such as the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.

Hyunseong quickly became strong.

And the dimension under Hyunseong’s rule also increased rapidly.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely without problems.

Along the way, it faced numerous crises.

In some cases, they could not even dare to occupy the enemy dimension, and in some cases, they gave up on saving the friendly dimension and rescued only the friendly dimension players and ordinary people.

But Hyunseong pushed forward honestly.

‘I do not care.’

Rescuing only friendly-level players and ordinary people will increase your achievements.

In addition, it was possible to increase the population of the insufficient Partisha dimension.

In fact, the biggest advantage of the structure was something else.

The point was that the number of level 1 players under Hyunseong increased one by one.

Hiring a mercenary meant that the opponent was a level 1 player.

Hyunseong helped first-level players in crisis and earned their oath of allegiance.

As the dimension to which Hyunseong saved increased, so did the level 1 players who swore allegiance.

Meanwhile, Hyunseong’s mercenary rank also rose rapidly.

However, the rating of the system shop never changed.

‘How the heck do you need to raise your grade to get a grade?’

For Hyunseong, there was no choice but to be frustrated.

There was another problem.

‘The sales of the friendly system shop are decreasing.’

The sales of products sold by Hyunseong have only continued to increase.

However, as the moon goes down, the products Hyunseong sold also showed a decrease in sales rather than an increase in sales.

The first reason was that the level of electronics that Hyunseong sells to the system store and the electronics released on Earth have become comparable.

After some time after selling old products, Hyunseong sold newer products.

This was a measure to encourage excessive consumption of level 1 players and to receive points quickly.

But as a result, the situation has come to a point where there are no new products to sell anymore.
