Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -34-
034.
Wooosh-!
The sound of the horn echoed through the mountain chalet.
-hahahaha, this guy’s insane
-Vikings don’t ambush, true, hahahaha
-No, hahahaha, I meant to call Yorund or something
-Oh, Ido-hyuk-sensei doesn’t fight unfairly against two people
-hahahahaha
The mountain chalet became bustling.
Bandits began to reveal themselves one by one.
Wooosh- Wooosh!!
“Enemies incoming!”
Checking the corpse beneath his feet, Ido Hyuk, the thief, blew his horn once again.
It was that moment.
Phew-!
“First one down.”
In the blink of an eye, Ido Hyuk switched his gear to bow mode and shot an arrow.
As soon as he released the bowstring, he reached for an arrow from his quiver and nocked it.
Phew-!
“Thud!”
“Ugh!”
Swift arrows slicing through the air.
The initial arrow struck the forehead of the foremost thief.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Second one down.”
The next arrow hit the arm of the following one.
“…Missed. Hm.”
Aiming for the head, he barely grazed it.
It was due to his lack of adaptation to the bow he was using now.
-Wow, even with a touch of humanity;
-hahahahaha
-His miss, wow
Yet, viewers who enjoyed watching Ido Hyuk’s style.
Only one day into his personal broadcast.
It was ample time for viewers to become fans of Ido Hyuk.
Now, his viewers were confident that they would like anything he did, as long as it wasn’t old man jokes.
Swish-
“Let’s limit the cowardly weapon to this point.”
Saying so, Ido Hyuk released the tension on the bow he had drawn.
-hahahaha, cowardly weapon
-Yeah, to Vikings, bows are cowardly weapons, lol
Then, he raised his dual axes again.
“From now on, let’s try clearing with axes.”
-But you used them well earlier, lol
-Oh, lol, they cost 5,000 won each, even if they’re cowardly weapons
-hahahahaha, this guy’s a real comedian, so funny
And then it happened.
Phew-!
As Ido Hyuk turned his body to the side, an arrow grazed past his ear.
-Wow
-How did he dodge that?
-Damn, dodging arrows, lol
“Are they shooting at us blatantly?”
Ido-hyuk said so and looked ahead.
More than ten bandits were visible.
Most of them were holding clubs, but some of them were also carrying slingshots or bows.
– It’s not something just anyone can do, you know?
– Nah, if you have decent physicality as a pro, you can do it all.
– Pay attention;
– Yeah
“Really? Well… the pre-motion is long, the direction is obvious, so… Besides, the bow is an old-fashioned one, so the arrow speed isn’t that fast.”
Ido-hyuk said casually.
Indeed, the arrows were not that difficult to dodge.
Bahlara’s bow, being of its time, didn’t have much tension.
Swish!
At that moment, another arrow flew towards them.
Clang!
This time, Ido-hyuk didn’t dodge the arrow but deflected it with an axe.
According to him, it wasn’t that difficult either.
-?
-?
-Wow
However, despite Ido-hyuk’s nonchalance, the chat window was going wild.
It was a natural reaction.
Dodging an arrow and deflecting it were two different things.
Moreover, Ido-hyuk’s actions didn’t stop there.
“Attack! Shoot!”
This time, it wasn’t just one arrow.
A baptism of raining arrows.
Plus, the guys with slingshots were throwing stones.
Clang!
In that moment, the axe blades swayed as if dancing.
The two axes moved swiftly.
Clang! Thud! Swish!
With each trajectory drawn in the air amidst the rain of arrows and stones, a projectile fell down.
Like a dance.
Avoiding what could be avoided, deflecting what could be deflected, he charged forward towards the projectiles pouring down.
-Wow…
-?
-He can do this?
-Insane skills, wow
While viewers marveled at the spectacle resembling a work of art.
Clang!
The distance between the thieves had suddenly narrowed.
A single axe struck a thief wielding a club.
With a slight shift of his body, he deftly dodged the opponent’s downward strike and countered with his own attack.
From then on, the barrage of projectiles became meaningless.
“Argh!”
Using the dead thief’s body as a shield, I Dohyuk advanced.
With the proximity now, the thieves couldn’t easily shoot arrows or throw rocks.
Thud.
I Dohyuk finally discarded the thief’s body he used as a shield.
“He’s alone!”
Dozens of thieves charged towards him.
“Everyone. The key to winning against dozens is simple.”
Even amidst this, I Dohyuk casually addressed the viewers.
– Here comes the I Dohyuk-style lecture hahahaha
– That lecture is intense
– hahahaha
“First, reduce the number of enemies you face. Instead of dozens, aim for 4 to 1, or even 3 to 1.”
Kwoong!
Clang!
He sidestepped and swung his axe.
Using the mountain wall to block the rear.
“One way is to utilize terrain like this. Block off one direction, be it front, rear, left, or right. Especially blocking the vulnerable rear during an attack is most effective.”
– Oh
– This is practical
– Nice
The chat box expressing approval for the quite helpful lecture.
But that was short-lived.
As usual, I Dohyuk’s “It’s really simple” began.
“And next is…”
Only the front and sides remained.
Clubs, spears, and swords descended upon I Dohyuk.
His gaze swiftly moved.
Simultaneously, trajectories of the attacks were drawn in his mind.
The trajectory of attacks that would rain down on him.
I Dohyuk firmly gripped two axes.
Swish!
“Like this…”
Crash!
“I’ll deal with them and get rid of…”
Swish!
“If you aim for the opponent’s weakness…”
Once again, the axe danced in his hand.
The axe blade continued to move like lightning.
It seemed as if it had escaped the flow of time alone.
How many seconds passed like that?
1 second.
3 seconds.
…10 seconds.
“aaargh!”
With this scream.
“…no one is left before long.”
In front of him, dozens of bodies were rolling on the ground.
The rest were either lying down, pretending to be dead, or had long fled to escape.
-What
-F**k
-WTF..?
-????????
The chat window filled with all sorts of curses and exclamations.
Kaang!!
At that moment, a thrown axe flew in.
With a clang, Ido Hyeok’s axe blade deflected the thrown axe.
“He seems like a big wolf.”
The one who threw the axe was a huge man.
It was easy to see why he was called Stone Fist, boasting a huge fist size, just like that of a giant wolf.
In one hand of the giant wolf was a huge sword, and in the other, a shield equally massive.
“I’ll take care of him first.”
An eye for an eye.
It was only fair to retaliate if an axe was thrown.
Swish─!
As the axe was thrown,
“Well, a 500,000 won mission. Let’s clear it.”
Thud!
Ido Hyeok slammed the ground hard.
**
Ido Hyeok’s Twitch community.
After today’s broadcast ended, numerous video clips were uploaded to the clip section.
[Today’s hilarious highlights LOL]
ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIs this for real?
ㄴㄹㅇ Today’s laughter was on point.
[Guest Do-hyuk facing off with Yorund]
ㄴhahahaha
ㄴ10-second cut
[Chumong, come down, whoa]
ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴWhere did Chumo go, why is Chumong coming down?
ㄴBut seriously, he’s impressively accurate with the bow.
[Seriously, what’s with 17 vs. 1?!?!?]
ㄴhahahaha, watching Ryu Hyun-jin from Hanwha days, right?
ㄴAlmost like K-Ryu Hyun-jin, whoa
ㄴWasn’t Ryu Hyun-jin originally in K?
In his first solo broadcast, it was hard to believe how packed Do-hyuk’s show was, from the discrimination Yorund showed towards Do-hyuk and Black Oak, to Do-hyuk’s hair-raising plays, to facing dozens of soldiers with just an axe, resulting in over dozens of clips being shared and circulating.
Most of these clips had thousands of views and dozens of comments.
[Wow… Raid from the start to the Beowulf boss battle]
-No separate editing, just added BGM.
However, the most popular clip among them was the one showing Do-hyuk’s battle with the bandits and Beowulf just before the broadcast ended.
Without any special editing, the video simply captured the scene with BGM inserted, creating a tense, grand, and powerful atmosphere that overwhelmed viewers as Do-hyuk’s gameplay unfolded alongside the intense music.
Thunk!
The video ended with a close-up of Do-hyuk burying an axe into Beowulf’s skull after their battle.
-Wow
-It’s still epic upon rewatching
-Chills…
-hahahaha, this is just unbelievable, seriously, pure epicness
This clip, boasting a total length of 5 minutes and 45 seconds, was filled with hundreds of comments praising Do-hyuk.
[Video views: 11k]
Even the fact that the video had been replayed over 10k times already showed how much viewers appreciated it.
[Raid video hot clip emerged!]
-Oh
-For real
-hahahaha, it’s so satisfying to watch it three times
And if a video surpasses 10k views, according to the Tworke system where one hot clip per streamer can be featured in the hot clip section, this particular video made its way there.
Of course, it was still at the bottom among the hundreds of hot clips, but not for long.
-Huh?
-Is it edited?
-This pairing is insane, that’s not a skill, right?
-Yeah, it’s not a skill, he just does it all.
-Even if you search, nothing comes up. Who is it?
-Oh, isn’t that the person from “It Kills Two”?
-Wow.
-Is this person a real Viking?
[Video Play Count: 36,000]
The views and comments began to skyrocket at an incredible speed.
The pace was unmatched compared to other videos.
Suddenly···
[“Ssssdohyuk Sensei Video Hot Clip on Page 1 Uploaded”]
It was a video of Idohyuk that made it to the first page of the hot clip section.
Although today was his first broadcast, his viewers were not new to this.
Most of them were experienced viewers in the Tworc community.
It was no wonder that a clip of someone starting their first personal broadcast today made it to the front page of the hot clips.
[“Yay, Made it to Page 1”]
[“Day 1 Hot Clip Page 1, Crazy Talent”]
[“At this rate, it might be worth watching until it reaches the top before 24 hours pass, right?”]
[“Does the captain know about this?”]
While they were celebrating Idohyuk’s entrance to the first page of the hot clip section.
The actual protagonist, Idohyuk, was doing something else···
“Uh… Isn’t the other person’s nickname a bit unusual? Hmm, what’s that about?”
Unintentionally, he found himself appearing on someone else’s broadcast.

Iron Fist, the most popular fighting game of this era.
There were countless stars competing for the title of ‘World’s Best’.
The competition was so intense that it was impossible to determine who was in the lead.
But in Ultimate Fighter, the former top fighting game before Iron Fist, there was an undisputed greatest of all time, the GOAT, that no one could deny.
-Oh, Anatol! Oh, Anatol!
-Wow, how long has it been since Anatol went live···
-I missed you
That was Anatol.
“Hello, everyone. It’s been a while.”
-Thank you for your hard work.
-You’ve worked hard!!
-It was such a shameㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Ding-
Ding-
[“‘Arhunsia’ has donated 100,000 won.”]
[“‘Ttete’ has donated 100,000 won.”]
[“‘GodAnatol’ has donated 50,000 won.”]
As soon as he went live, Anatol received numerous comforting messages and donations.
“hahahaha… Thank you. Are you asking if it’s been tough? No, it’s fine. I’ve rested for a few days and recovered.”
He fell short in the quarterfinals this time as well, just like he did a few days ago at the Iron Fist World Championship.
Back in the Ultimate Fighter days, he used to dominate the world stage effortlessly, almost as if winning the world championship was Anatol’s birthright. However, his career in Iron Fist seemed somewhat lackluster compared to that, with reaching the quarterfinals being the pinnacle of his career in the Iron Fist World Championship so far.
And once again, he failed to surpass his best career performance, losing in the quarterfinal stage yet again.
“Well, let’s review the competition then.”
[Current Viewers: 32,464]
After taking a few days off following his elimination from the world championship, he turned on the broadcast for the first time.
Thanks to that, over 30,000 viewers tuned in not long after he started broadcasting.
“······Yes, here, in fact, I fell into the opponent’s setup. I was cautious, but the opponent was sharper. Phew! That’s it for now. I need to prepare harder for the next competition.”
The broadcast of Anatol’s world championship review continued.
[Current Viewers: 38,217]
At the end, a whopping 38,000 viewers were watching.
Soon after, something surprising happened.
“Um… Now that the review’s over… Should I visit my hometown for once?”
Click-
Turning off Iron Fist and launching Ultimate Fighter, Anatol.
-Ah
-hahahahaha
-Ant Feathering ON
From Noble mtl dot com
-hahahahaha, look at the viewers dropping
-The stream is a bit···
-It was fun today!
As a result, the number of viewers started dropping rapidly.
[Current Viewers: 31,345]
[Current Viewers: 23,129]
[Current Viewers: 17,041]
Nevertheless, being Anatol, he managed to maintain 17,000 viewers.
“Wow, how long has it been? Seriously, I think it’s been over a year since I last turned on Ultimate Fighter, right?”
Due to everyone recognizing Anatol when he played his main character, he switched to a sub-character to make progress easier.
Of course, even though it’s a sub-character, it’s Anatol’s account, so the previous season’s rank is incomparable.
But since it’s the first game of this season, he wasn’t going to be matched against someone of a completely different level right away.
“Ah. Finally, a match.”
After a considerable wait, he was matched with an opponent.
Seeing the opponent’s nickname, Anatol remarked, “Oh… The opponent’s nickname is quite unique. Hm, interesting?”
