An empty space where Labo and Oasis await.
Cain, who had just arrived, frowned. His characteristic wolf-like expression was crumpled into a fierce expression.
“… …What are you doing?”
Oasis was frying popcorn, and Labo, who was eating it with his hands, gestured.
“Oh, you’re here? Do you want some popcorn too?”
“Did you call me to eat popcorn now?”
Cain openly showed his murderous intent by pulling out the long sword from his waistband.
Labo hurriedly waved his hand.
“No, that’s not it! This guy’s cooking skills must be pretty high because he said this is really delicious! It has a caramel flavor and a salty flavor… … .”
“Clean it up. I didn’t come here to play.”
Cain cut off the words coldly and glared at Labo.
“Check the bet details and conditions.”
Labo stuffed a bowl of popcorn into his mouth and chewed it while listening to Cain.
“The rule is unlimited PK. If I win, you will reveal the truth about the Season 1 Martial Arts Tournament finals under your name. Right?”
Season 1 Martial Arts Tournament One-on-One Division. The final between champion Aaron and Cain.
Aaron cheated in that game and Labo condoned it. Cain believed it.
Cain’s condition was that Labo would reveal the truth to the public himself.
“Yes, and if we win, you become my subordinate.”
Labo answered with a big smile.
Cain becomes Labo’s subordinate.
It was a simple condition. As for Cain, he had no intention of becoming even the slightest subordinate.
“Okay, there’s nothing to wait for, so let’s get started.”
Cain immediately drew his sword, but Labo waved his hand leisurely.
“Oh, wait a minute. Before we begin.”
“… … ?”
“Let’s change just one condition of the match.”
Cain frowned fiercely.
“What are you trying to change? If by any chance you’re going to try something foolish… … .”
“No, no. It would actually be better for you.”
Labo smiled leisurely and pointed behind him.
“It’s not me who’s fighting you… … .”
There was an oasis there where you could puff up your balls like a squirrel and eat your own popcorn.
“With this guy. How is it?”
“… … ?”
Oasis, not understanding what her master was saying, rolled her round eyes from side to side.
I thought I heard wrong.
Labo looked back at the oasis, nodded, and spoke again.
“Oasis, you fight Cain.”
“Eh… … Ehhhhhhhh-?!”
Popcorns flew around Oasis as he jumped up in surprise.
Cain was equally confused. He looked up and down the oasis.
“… … If my eyes are not deceiving, you look like a healing priest.”
“That’s right. The final job of the healing priest, the Holy Priest.”
“You want to fight me one-on-one with a healer priest, the weakest in PVP? Are you out of your mind? Or are you just ignoring me?”
A cold anger appeared in Cain’s voice.
“Even if I fell to the ground, I am Cain. I can cut down all the current ranked fighters in the martial arts tournament. How much more are you going to insult me… ?”
“I’m not trying to be rude, Cain. This guy is pretty strong. Seriously, strong.”
Labo chuckled and patted Oasis on the shoulder. Oasis was now starting to hiccup.
“And above all, isn’t this a condition that is advantageous to you?”
“… … .”
“Isn’t your goal to fight me and win? No, isn’t it? Isn’t your goal to reveal the truth about the finals and restore your honor? Then it’ll be more advantageous for you?”
“… … .”
It was just as Labo said.
Cain’s goal was not to defeat Labo, but to restore his own tarnished honor.
Besides, Labo is a hidden class.
There is no information about what job it is or what skills it uses.
Even from Cain’s perspective, who was tired of PK, there were aspects of the fight that were burdensome.
On the other hand, if the opponent is a healing priest, not only do you know most of the skills they use, but they are also the weakest class in PVP recognized by everyone.
As for Cain, there was really no reason to refuse.
‘But why?’
Still, I couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Why do you insist on providing conditions that are advantageous to you? What on earth are you trying to accomplish?
Hehe.
Despite Cain’s suspicious gaze, Labo just smiled evilly.
“… … .”
The worry didn’t last long.
Cain closed his eyes for a moment to collect his thoughts, then opened them.

“… … Okay, I accept it.”
No matter how I thought about it, there was no way I could lose to a healing priest.
This had an overwhelmingly higher chance of winning than facing Labo, who was a hidden class.
Cain accepted, and Labo nodded as if he had expected that.
Only the oasis behind was in contemplation.
“My, my lord! What is this all of a sudden… … .”
“Don’t worry and have a good time, Oasis.”
Labo turned around and patted Oasis on the shoulder.
“Cain is a world-class PVP player, I guarantee.”
“You want me to fight a world-class fighter? Me?!”
“So if you can fight that guy on equal terms, it will prove your skills.”
“Am I really that good? No, and this isn’t the place to prove my skills!”
Isn’t this the place where Labo and Cain are making a bet?
If he loses this match, Labo will lose the bet. Then, Labo will have to reveal the mistakes made during Season 1 under the name of GM Anchovy.
‘Isn’t this fatal even for you, Master?’
Oasis blankly looked up at Labo’s face, which was completely incomprehensible.
“It’s okay. I trust you.”
Labo, who had messily messed up Oasis’ short silver hair, pushed Oasis’ back forward.
“Come on, let’s go wild, Oasis!”
“Ooh, oh my… … !”
Oasis stepped forward hesitantly and bowed deeply toward Cain.
“Okay, please take care of it… … .”
“… … .”
Cain opened his mouth softly, looking at the young girl’s avatar with sunken eyes.
“Let me tell you in advance.”
“yes?”
“Even if he is a healing priest, he does not show any mercy.”
Sreung!
In Cain’s hand, a long sword emitting a murderous light was aimed at Oasis.
“… … Same goes for me.”
Oasis also took out his staff and aimed it forward.
Hoo, Oasis took a short breath and opened her eyes.
The large eyes that had been sparkling innocently until just before were now burning with a fighting spirit.
“I can’t afford to bother my master… … !”
Labo said he trusted Oasis, which is why he sent him out as a proxy for this important duel.
I can’t betray that trust.
‘I will definitely win!’
Cain and Oasis thought at the same time.
The two fell into silence for a moment, each aiming their weapons at the other, looking for an opening in the other’s defense.
At that moment, Cain and Oasis were glaring at each other.
Labo watched the war of nerves between the two, sitting in a corner of the vacant lot and taking a big bite of Oasis’ popcorn.
Labo, who was chewing popcorn, spoke softly.
“Come out, Akasa.”
“… … .”
“Come out, I’m hiding there. Come here and take a look around comfortably.”
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing sunglasses, Akasa, appeared from behind the oak barrels stacked next to him, along with a rustling sound.
“I thought you were hiding it well, but you have a good sense. How long have you known?”
“From the moment you started sneaking behind Cain.”
“From the beginning, damn it… … .”
Labo handed Akasa a bag of popcorn as he walked over to her.
“Want to eat?”
“You’re doing a great job in this situation… … .”
I didn’t refuse.
Akasa, who sat down next to Labo, also put a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
“So, Akasa. Why was Cain chasing you?”
“That old man ransacked my store last time. Since then, I’ve been keeping an eye on him whenever he shows up in Undertown. I’m so nervous.”
Akasa shrugged his shoulders in response to Labo’s question.
“But today, I heard he was heading to the place where my brother was. I thought something might happen, so I followed him.”
“Yeah, something will happen.”
Labo chuckled and popped another popcorn into his mouth.
“I will make Cain my subordinate.”
Akasa looked back at Labo with a dumbfounded expression.
“You’re going to take a hunter-killer as your subordinate? Who would want that man-eating wolf to be under your command?”
“Well, you’ll know when you see it.”
Labo shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking in a serious voice.
“Cain is just the beginning. I’ll recruit all the worthy named villains… … and place them under my command.”
As he spoke, Labo’s eyes were shining with confidence and determination.
Akasa swallowed dry saliva and asked in a trembling voice.
“Brother, what the heck… … are you trying to do?”
“What are you doing? You’re playing a game. It’s so much fun.”
Labo looked back at Akasa and nodded with a grin.
“If you’re curious, do you want to join in?”
“… … ?!”
“Okay, here we go!”
Before Akasa could even ask a question, Labo turned his head towards Cain and Oasis.
After the exploration, the duel between the two began.
Pfft!
The first one to rush in was Oasis.
“Blessing of the North Sword! Aura of the Guardian Angel! Melody of the Fair Wind! Fountain of Wisdom! The Goddess’s Rope!”
Full buff full set!
At the same time, I applied the Lightning Enchant Scroll to my staff.
Oasis, who had closed the distance in an instant, swung his lightning-quickening staff fiercely.
It was a fighting style that was hard to believe was from a healing priest, but Cain wasn’t fazed at all.
Cain’s PK count is #1 on the server. He has more actual experience than anyone else.
I’ve encountered many mage classes that are focused on close combat.
“Asura.”
The unique counterattack skill of the Musa class, Sura!
It is a skill that has a prerequisite of being used precisely in time with the opponent’s attack, but if successful, it completely nullifies the opponent’s attack and launches a powerful counterattack.
Zzz!
That’s literally knife-like timing!
Cain’s long sword, which had accurately deflected Oasis’ attack, cut Oasis’ body horizontally in a long stroke.
“Ugh?!”
Boom boom boom!
Oasis, who received Cain’s sword with her body, fell backwards for a long time and rolled around, landing in a corner.
“Crazy, is that a person?”
Akasa, who was watching, muttered in astonishment.
The ‘Sura’ was more difficult to time than the normal weapon defense.
Weapon defense is activated by simply bringing a weapon against an opponent’s attack, but ‘Sura’ is activated only when used just before the opponent’s attack reaches you, while also hitting the weapon at the same time.
In short, you have to defend your weapon while also getting the timing right.
Because of this insane difficulty, it was a skill that many warrior users rarely used.
There is no great inconvenience in playing the game with just the evasion device ‘Nachal’, which is much more convenient to use.
How well you use ‘Sura’. This is the standard that distinguishes between experts and beginners among warriors.
How much training would it take to be able to use such a high-difficulty skill so easily?
As terrifying as Cain’s skills were, Akasa was even less able to understand Labo.
‘You sent the healing priest out to fight that monster? Didn’t GM Anchovy lose his shit after getting fired from his job?’
Akasa looked back and forth between Oasis, which had rolled to the corner of the empty lot, and Labo, who was sitting next to him.
However, Labo’s attitude as he watched was still relaxed.
“… … !”
Cain noticed something strange as he held his sword to the side.
Even though the taste was certain, Oasis’ HP was still intact. It was a defense that was not befitting of a healing priest wearing only clothes of the heavens.
‘Is he a physical all-in priest? No, but… … .’
Meanwhile, Oasis, who had rolled away and gained some distance, put a heal on herself.
“Fast Hill.”
HP was instantly restored.
Oasis’ thoughts turned sharply as he glared at Cain through his disheveled silver hair.
‘… … There’s not a single inch of error in the timing of the counterattack. That’s amazing skill.’
I could sense it.
Any normal attack will be countered.
‘Then, write the next number.’
Dozens of tactics came to mind in Oasis’ head.
I decided which one to use and slowly got up.
Creepy.
Facing such an oasis, Cain felt goosebumps rise on his shoulders for some reason.
‘This guy is… … .’
Based on his experience from playing PK for a long time, Cain divided his opponents into two groups.
Prey.
Or a hunter.
Looking at the oasis, Cain’s eyes became cold and sank.
This guy is a sure thing.
‘… … is a hunter.’
Taat!
Adjusting his posture, Oasis charged at Cain again.
