Miyoko, who had been vigilant, had to increase her alertness even more; she knew that Highess possessed formidable strength.Highess's body remained firm, and he directed his sword to shoot forward very quickly.Ting..."He's coming straight at me?" Not willing to be pushed back, Miyoko began to grow fierce, responding to Highess's attack with a deadly slash.They clashed with considerable force, sword strikes sending sparks flying. They both fought fiercely to give their best resistance."I rarely engage in duels like this; I thought such battles of strength only existed in movie scenes..."Ting...Miyoko jumped back after being pushed back by Highess's great strength, her hands unable to stay still. She watched it all with a worried feeling."As a katana user, you are a tough one..." Miyoko remarked.Contrary to what was said, Highess only considered this as a game. He had even played a specific game that required players to execute complicated moves only through the sword.Once aga

Entering the second day, all conditions were still normal. Highess logged in again at the same location as before, choosing a spot near the cliff to avoid ambushes or attacks from other players.It was a fairly secluded location, and if it caught the attention of other players, it could be concluded that those players had very bad intentions to visit there."Hah..."And, indeed, as there was a faint sound from behind, Highess immediately turned, a look of terror spreading across his face."No, he can see me..." A girl had just arrived there, but she suddenly became frightened and hid behind a tree because of Highess's intimidating presence.Although Highess wore a mask covering his insect-like face, his large body wrapped in sturdy armor still looked like a knight full of deadly aura."I didn't expect someone to arrive here just after I logged in!" Highess looked up until his neck would creak if it were wood, then lowered his gaze, taking a deep breath to try to clear his messy mind.

A big explosion, a power Boomer used to defeat his opponent, this time he wanted to smile at the sight of his opponent's corpse.But, after the smoke cleared, Highess's body whereabouts were unknown, no signs were found the tremendous attack had hit its target."Damn, where is he?" Boomer growled, continuing to scan the area, trying to think where Highess would go at a time like this. "Did he run away like a coward?""Who are you calling a coward?"Boomer turned around, and just then Highess was gliding, his sword in hand had turned back into a katana."Black Vortex..."Crash...Boomer's abdomen was wounded, he almost fell, but refused to, instead kneeling while clutching his aching stomach."Damn it, you're still capable of pulling off techniques like this, and it's infuriating facing someone with great intelligence like you!"Highess immediately turned around, a deadly aura emanating from his eyes. However, it wasn't tension he felt but rather joy."Hahaha... I admit it, I know you'

"Cih... he managed to escape..." muttered a player wearing green attire and long ears, in other words, he was an elf.His two friends also looked annoyed by this, they stared at the lake, Highess had jumped into the lake to avoid their attacks.It's not that Highess wasn't brave enough to face them, but facing enemies with greater numbers plus long-range attack users, it would be better for him to flee.Highess swam on towards the other side of the lake, enough distance away. Once near the edge, he immediately surfaced, only his eyes visible. Scanning around, left and right, it seemed that silence still gripped the area, but he didn't know if it was truly safe.His body emerged from the lake quite wet; the burden on his character was too great due to the heavy armor's weight."In the real world, I might have drowned, but thankfully this game isn't too realistic..." However, this action came at a cost, not just draining stamina as breath, but also depleting health points due to being s

Highess became curious about what Heikar said, which sounded ambiguous. Immediately, he asked, "What do you really want to say? Why did you suddenly mention knowing something!""Well, I already know who you are, even though you wear armor and a mask to cover your face, I know that you are the person who won the competition..."Highess narrowed his eyes. This sounded not just like a threat, but also an expression containing a quite strong threat."So, what are you going to do?"Heikar chuckled at Highess's serious words, while Highess had become more serious than before. It was quite annoying to have to deal with someone like this."I can only say that you are the famous winner of this competition, your photo is displayed everywhere, and that makes you a very skilled player, even the top player in this game is overshadowed by your popularity! There are many people who want to defeat you to prove how weak you are. It's indeed an envious act aimed at bringing you down, but that's the pla
