I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 28

Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -28-

028.

-hahahahaha

-Black Oak, go suck that milk hahahaha

-Waaah

“Huh, go suck your mother’s milk some more…?”

Black Oak, with a crestfallen expression.

Without any regard for his state, Yorund’s insults continued.

“You’re not a warrior, go learn some kitchen work.”

-hahahahaha

-Kitchen work hahahaha

-Ooh, spicy!

-(Info) More severe insults than Viking’s standard banter.

-hahahahaha, Yorund, the habitual insulter.

Viewers who enjoyed such scenes.

Yorund, despite being an NPC only appearing in the early stages, was quite popular among gamers.

The reason for this popularity lay in Yorund’s blunt insults.

Yorund, who poured out such merciless criticism if a player’s combat skills were lacking, became a sort of meme among gamers playing Balhalla.

If we were to call him by his Viking nickname, he would be the one who delivers facts, Yorund.

“Kitchen knife… Dohyuk, was my dual axe play really that disastrous?”

“No?”

Dohyuk’s denial.

Black Oak seemed to say, ‘As expected of Dohyuk…!’ with his expression.

But he had to listen to the Korean until the end.

“Um, well… Can we really say it was a disaster when you didn’t do anything at all?”

“······?”

-hahahahaha

-Oh hahahaha, there’s a fact-bomb here too

-Godly Master Dohyuk speaks only the truth

-(No interpretation) Disaster? You’re beneath that

Physically and factually struck by Yorund, and then by Dohyuk’s fact-bomb.

Black Oak was becoming dizzy involuntarily.

“In fact, the dual axe may look flashy, but in reality, it’s a weapon that needs to be handled very honestly. Um, it might be easier to understand if you’ve seen my Eat Kills Two play.”

“Um… I have seen it?”

“Really?”

“Yes. I even watched it for hours…”

“…Ah.”

Dohyuk froze in that moment.

Black Oak’s face, having seen that, grew even darker.

-hahahahaha

-Oh hahahahaha

-Master Dohyuk is flustered hahahahaha

-Black Oak, you’re talentless

-Even in Eat Kills Two, they say you have butterfingers hahahahaha

Ding-

[‘SpeaksOnlyTruth’ has requested a 100,000 won mission.]

-Master Dohyuk, show us your cool side hahahahaha If you beat Yorund, let’s go

At that moment, a mission alert rang out.

“Oh. Now that I think about it, it’s the first mission.”

Saying that, Dohyuk immediately pressed the accept button.

A 100,000 won mission from the very first one.

And the mission didn’t end here.

-Is that right?

-Kyah, 10 big ones

-hahahaha, cute how happy you are

-I’ll join in too

Ding-

[‘Dohyuk’sDisciple’ has requested a 10,000 won mission.]

– I will add something to the mission just now.

Ring-

[‘Yorund Kills’ has applied for a mission worth 30,000 won.]

– Count me in too~

Ring-

[‘Viking Style’ has applied for a mission worth 30,000 won.]

– Me too~

Other viewers watching the mission added more to the mission amount.

“Thank you all. It seems quite challenging to defeat Yorund, right?”

“Yes. Setting-wise, he’s a retired commander of the Light Warriors, so he’s quite strong even by mid-game standards.”

“I see.”

In that case, it’s understandable why Black Oak was defeated so easily.

During the time when Black Oak was enjoying his prime, he fought and battled against knight-level opponents, with knights being the most challenging enemy type mid-game players could encounter, slightly stronger than the typical berserker of the Viking faction.

However, Yorund, although now retired, was once a commander of the Light Warriors.

He must be stronger than the average knight-level opponent.

It would have been difficult to face him properly with an unfamiliar pair of axes.

Yet, if Black Oak had wielded his usual sword and shield setup, he might have put up a good fight.

Rather than showing a shameful performance against Yorund as he did a while ago.

Ring-

[‘Beatikchu’ has applied for a 10,000 won mission.]

– Count me in too. Honestly, you’re cool with giving him a hard time, right? No matter how strong Yorund is, he can’t beat Dohyuk-sensei.

– Right, he can’t.

– True. Damn, you must be the cool one here.

– hahahaha.

– What did he say if he beats Yorund? Do you have the heart of a warrior?

– Yeah.

– They’ll even distribute the loot hahahaha.

[Total Mission Amount: 180,000 won]

Viewers believe that for Dohyuk, defeating Yorund won’t be that difficult.

Everyone knows that Dohyuk’s gameplay in [It Kills Two] was already beyond impressive.

Applying for the mission, even though it’s hanging in the balance, is partly a form of support.

Some viewers enjoy watching streamers struggle to complete challenging missions, while others prefer applying for missions of moderate difficulty to see their supported streamer tackle them.

“······”

If the mission were more challenging than it is now, would the mission amount have increased accordingly?

Having such thoughts, Dohyuk spoke up.

“Everyone. Just winning is too easy, isn’t it… Let’s see.”

Dohyuk shifted his gaze towards Yorund.

Since it ended too quickly just now, he wanted to properly assess Yorund’s level.

“···Hm.”

After Black Oak, Yorund, who was sparring with other Viking NPCs.

“hahahahaha! Come at me, rookie!”

Yorund laughs loudly as he faces off against a Viking trainee warrior.

Yorund, with his chest wide open, raises his double-headed axe above his head.

At a glance, he appears to have many openings.

However, it’s all a ploy to bait the enemy into attacking.

An experienced but crafty warrior must utilize the opponent’s strength better than his own.

“Huup!”

Sadly, the Viking trainee warrior falls for it.

The trainee warrior defends his head area with a shield in his left hand and swings a one-handed sword.

Clang!

Yorund’s double-headed axe clashes with the trainee warrior’s sword.

In an instant, a fierce collision occurs with sparks flying.

The trainee warrior quickly retrieves his sword.

And at the moment he tries to stab towards Yorund’s abdomen.

Thud!

A sound like shattering rocks echoes.

It was Yorund’s headbutt.

The trainee warrior falls over.

“Ugh!”

That’s the end of that.

Yorund, who had circled around behind the trainee warrior, presses the handle of his axe against the trainee’s neck.

Soon, the trainee’s strength drains away.

From Noble mtl dot com

Thump!

“Sprinkle some cold water to wake him up. Heh, this one’s quite stubborn. But with a thick skull like his, no one can beat me.”

Yorund tosses the unconscious trainee warrior with one hand.

“Wow! Yorund! Yorund!!”

The trainees cheer towards him.

They said Valhalla has much more capital invested in it than the aaa game, It Kills Two.

The AI here is indeed quite realistic.

Anyway.

Yido-hyuk speaks up.

“If that’s the case…”

“How about 10 seconds?”

“Huh? 10 seconds?”

Black Oak didn’t immediately grasp the meaning.

The viewers were in the same boat.

-?

-What’s he saying?

-hahahaha, no way he can win in just 10 seconds, right?

“Ey, that’s a bit much,” Lee Dohyuk, who was reading the chat, said.

“True.”

“···..?”

“Since winning doesn’t seem too hard. If I win within 10 seconds, it’ll be mission clear. How about it?”

**

[‘Vitichu’ has requested a mission of 50,000 won.]

– Let’s pile it on first… But can it be done in 10 seconds?

[‘Dohyukchu’ has requested a mission of 100,000 won.]

– Yorund, go for the 10-second cut.

[‘OntheLipschu’ has requested a mission of 50,000 won.]

– Isn’t this a safe asset?ㅋㅋ

After Lee Dohyuk declared the 10-second cut, the mission amount continued to increase.

Before they knew it, it had risen to nearly close to 500,000 won.

– For realㅋㅋ

– It’s a safe asset ㅋ

– Yorund isn’t a pushover; they can withstand 10 seconds

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Wait, guys. If I really go again, I won’t go down in just 3 seconds, you know?”

– Yeah, you could probably handle 5 seconds

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Then, if Dohyuk-sensei defeats Yorund in 10 seconds, how many seconds will it take for the Black Oak?

Black Oak, engaging in banter with viewers.

Meanwhile, the Vikings were still cheering towards Yorund.

Woahhh! Tough head, Yorund!!

What interrupted their cheers was,

Whoosh-!

Thud!

A hand axe flying from somewhere and sticking into the ground.

“Hmm?”

All eyes, including Yorund’s, turned towards one direction.

Slowly walking over, Lee Dohyuk picked up the hand axe stuck in the ground.

-Kya

-Dohyuk-sensei looking cool from the start

-Can’t resist throwing axes, huh ㅋㅋ

Seeing him, Yorund chuckled and said, “Heh heh. Another young one who claims to handle all axes with both hands has appeared!”

Was it because Black Oak had previously challenged with the same equipment setup?

The treatment towards the dual axes was intense.

Yorund faced off against the other Vikings, pushing them back.

“All right! Come on, rookie!”

“…Hmph.”

Idohyuk also took his stance and gazed at Yorund.

He had vowed to finish it within 10 seconds, but the opponent was not as easy as he thought.

Yorund, skilled in axe combat at a considerable level.

It was astonishing that he was an AI.

“So that’s why these people are good at combat.”

Whether looking at Black Oak or fighting with others in Ultimate Fighter, one thing Idohyuk had consistently felt was that people had quite a high level of combat and weapon skills.

Their physical abilities might not be exceptional, but among the opponents he had encountered in Alpa, there were occasionally individuals who were superior to even most novice hunters.

Considering that hunters engage in battles with extraterrestrial species daily, it was truly remarkable.

That had always been a question in Idohyuk’s mind.

But now, he understood.

“Perhaps they trained it through data learning.”

They called it reinforcement learning.

Regardless, it was clear that AI possessed advanced combat and weapon skills.

And people must have observed and learned from that.

“I wonder where this will end.”

Undoubtedly, there were many NPCs beyond this Yorund.

Naturally, one couldn’t help but be curious.

The end product of artificial intelligence’s data learning, and which was superior between that and what he had honed through hundreds, thousands of battles.

Of course, Idohyuk believed the latter was superior without a doubt.

It might be a long way off before he could confirm that.

“But for now, let’s deal with this guy.”

Ten seconds is a short time.

For some.

But not for Idohyuk.

Clang!

A loud clashing sound echoed.

As Idohyuk lightly clashed his axe blades together, it made a reverberating noise.

But within the Viking circle, could that be considered a provocation signal?

Thud!

Surprisingly, Yorund took the initiative.

Yorund sprinted towards Idohyuk.

Idohyuk didn’t stay still either.

Just like with the sword, an axe wasn’t merely about swinging and thrusting with arm strength alone.

The force needed to be applied for the blade’s impact to be truly effective.

There was no warrior who sat still and waited for the opponent.

Clang! Clang!

The axes clashed against each other.

The one who won in terms of sheer strength was Yorund.

Although Ido Hyuk possessed exceptional physical abilities, Yorund stood close to 2 meters tall.

When it came to sheer power, he was still in his prime.

Swish! Thud!

Ido Hyuk swiftly retrieved his axe and launched another attack.

Black Oak had a misconception.

It was due to the common fantasy people had about dual swords or double axes.

Very flashy attacks, consecutive strikes from both sides, an unpredictable offense and defense pattern that could be executed simultaneously, and so on…

But that was just a fantasy.

One would only know once they actually handled dual weapons.

‘Balancing on both sides is off… Blocking on the left while striking on the right lacks proper force.’

To handle dual weapons, what mattered wasn’t the stance.

It was about timing in combat, seizing the opponent’s timing.

Slightly striking off-balance or…

Hook-

“Hmm…!”

Feinting as if to strike and then retreating.

Thunk!

Measuring the distance with the opponent was also crucial.

And above all…

‘Right now!’

“Whoosh!”

Yorund exhaled sharply, putting all his strength into his arms.

His two-handed axe swung powerfully.

In that moment, a short-handled axe swiftly shot out.

Swish!

The axe blade ominously sliced through the air.

It belonged to Yorund.

Then what about Hyuk’s?

“…hahahaha, hahahahaha.”

Yorund let out a disappointed laugh.

The axe blade held in Ido Hyuk’s left hand was suspended in front of his neck.

[Mission Success!]

The notification sound of mission success.

-Wow

-Unbelievable;

-Did you really finish this in just 10 seconds?

The chat window quickly filled up.

And a bit belatedly, a sound notification for a donation rang out.

Ding-

[‘Master Idohyeok’ has sponsored 10,000 won.]

– He really believed in me!

Ding-

[‘Dohyeokchyu’ has sponsored 1,000 won.]

– Don’t tell me this time too, he’s fooled by safe assets, that black sheep? hahahaha, well, first of all,

“Thank you, everyone.”

Nodding,

Idohyeok greeted the pouring donations and chat messages. He looked towards Black Oak and said,

“Did you see that well?”

“Y-yes, yes, I saw it well.”

“Then do you understand?”

“Yes?”

Idohyeok barely restrained himself from saying what one needs to be good at to handle dual weapons.

“Well, it’s nothing.”

‘Now that I think about it…’

Timing in fights, measuring distance, precise weight shifts, footwork, predicting the opponent’s movements, countering weaknesses, parrying, deflecting, and more… Numerous things.

To handle dual swords or axes well, all of these were necessary.

In other words…

‘It’s just about fighting well.’

It might not be easy for Black Oak.

That was Idohyeok’s thought.
