I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

Chapter 340



[Breaking News! Breaking News! Emergency Broadcast, Utopia LIVE ON!!!]

-Utopia is going to broadcast their attack on the Japanese Demon Gate live on TV!

-I immediately ordered some chicken. How could I resist? I couldn’t possibly!

-Haha!

-What the hell are you talking about? Broadcasting a gate assault on TV?
└ Yeah, right. Everything mechanical breaks down inside the gate.
└ ??? : Can anyone recommend a novel with this plot?
└ Author: You guys, are you for real? Just turn on the broadcast! That’s what Cheonhwa is saying right now.
└ Wow!
└ What the…
└ Are you kidding me?
└ What the hell is this? Is this for real?

-Official) Cheonhwa: Feeling responsible for the mistake made during the last Demon incident, I asked the Mage Emperor to allow us to broadcast this for those of you who may be feeling anxious.
└ Wow!
└ Shin Se-hee!
└ Shin Se-hee is just Cheonhwa’s name, right?
└ Oh, yeah, it is!

-Wow… The Mage Emperor set this up… She didn’t want people to worry.
└ Oh my!
└ Mage Emperor Praise Concert
└ Shin Se-hee
└ It’s you again, GOAT…

-Anyone who says the Mage Emperor is just kicking Utopia to the curb during a global crisis needs to knock some sense into their heads…
└ Yeah, right. It’s common knowledge that the Mage Emperor is busy dealing with underwater and sky gates that Utopia can’t handle, as well as taking care of the Demons running rampant worldwide… Anyone who says the Mage Emperor is just a water rocket deserves a hard slap.
└ That water rocket has been flying for 30 years. If it’s water, they should change the fuel!
└ LOL, for real!
└ Yeah, right. The Demons have been getting out of hand lately, and if it weren’t for Lina, humanity would’ve been wiped out by now.
└ But do the sky gate and underwater gate really exist?
└ Yes, they do.
└ Is that true?
└ But we’ve never heard anything about it.
└ There was a time when an underwater gate opened and a Blue Crab wave emerged. While Utopia held the line on the ground, Lina cleared it underwater.
└ Oh… So what about the sky gate?
└ Don’t worry about the sky gate. The Mage Emperor took care of it before it became a problem!
└ Mage Emperor Concert.
└ LOL, there’s a concert for everything!

Of course, there was no such thing as a sky gate or an underwater gate. Baek Seol-hee’s activities as the Demon slayer Squad were attributed to the Mage Emperor.

But who cares?

The less suspicion there is about the Mage Emperor, the better. After all, Utopia is claiming to be her successor.

Shin Se-hee carefully monitored public opinion and nodded her head.

‘This is good… I think it’s time to bring up that topic.’

The opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding had come sooner than she had expected.

“First of all, I’d like to address the mistake we made last time. Yes, it’s about the Demon’s curse.”

The time had come to overturn the reputation of being helplessly cursed by the Demon.

“We were indeed careless in our response. I deeply apologize to all of you who have felt anxious up until now.”

Shin Se-hee bowed her head towards the camera.

The incident where they had been helplessly cursed by the Demon during the raid without Jin Yuha had fueled the controversy that Utopia was like a sandcastle without Jin Yuha. It also led to new criticism that they had wasted Jin Yuha’s precious time, which should have been spent training.

“So, we all worked our butts off.”

In truth, they had always worked hard, and this time was no different. It was just that after spending time with Jin Yuha, they had all gained a new ability.

But Shin Se-hee was the type of person who could even use such a situation to her advantage.

“The reason we each spent time with Jin Yuha was to stabilize our minds after training so hard that we were on the verge of mental collapse. But I understand that you might not believe me just by saying it.”

Shin Se-hee infused mana into the gem in her hand as she spoke. This allowed her to control the viewpoint of the connected gem used for filming, just like a real drone camera.

The image showed Utopia standing in front of the Demon Gate on Mount Fuji, their faces grim. The camera slowly zoomed in on their faces.

“So, I’ll show you the results. The extent of our progress.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

“Utopia, all members, enter!”

Jin Yuha’s command was given, and Utopia entered the Demon Gate.

.

.

.

The land was pitch black, without a single blade of grass, and the trees were bare, their branches like dry bones. Lava flowed like a river, and the sky was stained red.

The interior of the second Demon Gate was like a scene from hell brought to the surface.

Those who witnessed the interior of the gate for the first time were shocked.

-Wow, this is so different from what I imagined!

-Is this the inside of the gate?

-It looks like hell.

-It’s so desolate.

Even in the face of this desolate scene, Jin Yuha maintained a calm expression.

“Wave response, Formation F.”

At Jin Yuha’s brief command, the Utopia party seamlessly formed a formation without a moment’s hesitation.

And then.

The reason why Jin Yuha had ordered them to prepare for a wave became clear.

At the end of the desolate horizon.

Clatter, clatter—

Clatter, clatter—

Clatter, clatter—

A line of black skeletons, armed with various weapons, was approaching from the distance.

-Holy shit, what is that?

-Gross…

-I was thinking of joining the next Demon Gate raid, but after seeing this… Is this even possible?

-Dark Skeletons…

-How are we supposed to beat them?

-Damn, how many are there? 10,000? 100,000? No… Is this something seven people can handle?

The drone’s view from above showed an even more shocking and serious scene than what Utopia was seeing.

Like a swarm of black ants, the skeletons clattered as they rushed forward.

Utopia, with only seven members, faced this overwhelming wave of enemies.

No matter how strong Utopia was, they would be easily swept away by this massive force.

However, Jin Yuha’s expression remained unchanged as he faced the skeleton horde.

He simply raised one hand and—

Swish—

He gently lowered it.

Then, from behind, Sophia drew her bowstring, and a golden yellow arrow glowed at her fingertips.

Whoosh—

As she focused her mana while keeping the bowstring drawn, the arrow’s brightness intensified.

And finally—

Whoosh!

The arrow left Sophia’s hand, trailing a long comet-like tail, and landed in the midst of the skeletons.

Cold sweat formed on Shin Se-hee’s hands as she watched the screen, her eyes glowing red.

Shin Se-hee had awakened a new ability called ‘Mind’s Eye’.

Through this ability, she could closely observe the battle situation as if she were right next to it, thanks to the artifact’s projection.

“For the first move, we have Sophia’s ‘Healing Rain’. It’s extremely effective against undead enemies. Since it can be used as a long-range sniper shot, it’s the most effective way to take them out before they reach us.”

As Sophia’s arrow fell among the skeletons—

Whoosh!

A golden mist exploded, covering the skeletons, and their bodies melted away as if they had been exposed to a powerful acid.

“Now, Sophia’s arrow has become even more devastating, spreading like a mist and massacring enemies over a wider area.”

Moreover, it didn’t end there.

The lingering mist continued to damage the skeletons within its range.

Thus, a large gap was created in the middle of the skeleton horde.

-Arrrgh!

-Grrrrrrr!

The skeletons, caught off guard by the sudden attack, charged forward with a roar.

Then, Ichika stretched out her hand.

Swish—

A large army of black shadows appeared between Utopia and the skeletons.

And a black platform formed in mid-air.

“When facing a large number of enemies, special abilities become crucial. Can you see the unusual shadow next to Ichika?”

As she said, there was indeed an unusual shadow with a sword next to Ichika, which was a familiar sight to the viewers.

“Yes, that’s a copy of Jin Yuha.”

Although the ability to copy only had a 30% success rate, it was a different story when the target was Jin Yuha, who was on the verge of becoming a transcendent.

Swoosh—

Jin Yuha’s shadow hid below, then suddenly appeared in the middle of the enemy forces, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

The skeletons, unable to react to the sudden appearance of the shadow, were swept away like fallen leaves.

Thud!

The Utopia party members leaped onto the floating shadow platforms.

“Lim Ga-eul’s skill cooldown has been reduced, allowing her to use her skills more efficiently than before.”

Whoosh!

As she held a white glowing mana stone, she cast a slow effect on a wide area, causing the skeletons within the affected area to move sluggishly as if time had slowed down.

“Lee Yoo-ri, our tank, can now actively participate in attacks, in addition to her defensive role.”

Her experience from the personal story, where she had to face monsters alone, made her movements as a tank more flexible.

When the skeletons became too overwhelming, Yoo-ri dashed forward explosively and broke through to the center.

Clang!

After using her taunt skill, she leaped back to her tank position.

Then, the skeletons, attracted by the lingering effect of the taunt, rushed towards her.

“And right there, Alice will unleash a powerful sword attack.”

As soon as Shin Se-hee finished speaking—

Boom!

Alice’s crescent sword fell upon the mass of skeletons.

With a loud explosion, the skeletons shattered into bone fragments and flew away.

“And… Kang Do-hee… You’ll see her later… She’s the one who has made the most progress among us… in terms of her dog fighting skills.”

Shin Se-hee was referring to the ‘Avatar of Fire’ ability.

They had never shown this ability to the public before, and anyone who witnessed it would be left in awe.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Even without that ability, Kang Do-hee was already displaying more destructive power than before.

It seemed that her ‘Indomitable’ ability, which allowed her to maintain the same combat prowess from start to finish, was the reason behind this improvement.

“And…”

Shin Se-hee’s gaze shifted upwards.

High above, Jin Yuha stood on a shadow, gazing down with a sword in hand, his posture regal.

“Ahh… Jin Yuha…”

As Shin Se-hee watched this scene, she covered her cheeks with both hands, exhaling excitedly and smiling ecstatically.

-Huh?

-What’s with her? She was explaining things well until now.

-Se-hee…?

-Hey, she’s spacing out.

-This is dangerous, isn’t it?

-Cheonhwa, I’m worried about her…

-Se-hee, snap out of it…
