The Final Boss Has Returned 58

Chapter 58

The first thing I did after ordering the attack was to turn on my stream.

As soon as I started the live stream, I heard the notification sounds of countless viewers entering.

[Drakan’s stream has started!]

[Where is this? Is it the Pirate Archipelago?]

Chat alerts started blinking constantly in the corner of my vision.

The number of viewers, which started lightly at 10,000, was also increasing exponentially.

[Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers, Drakan-nim ^^ Please do an event]

[I wish you would rent out a hotel and hold a fan meeting]

[He’s the busiest person in this game right now, do you think he’d do that? Please think]

[Why are you so aggressive– I’m just saying I wish he would]

[Guys, stop fighting, Drakan turned on his cam right now]

After uploading the collaboration event announcement video.

My subscriber count had risen sharply and had long since surpassed 1 million, the benchmark for a major streamer.

In a way, I had become a full-fledged major streamer, but I didn’t feel much about it.

“This is the Pirate Archipelago.”

[Hul, it really was the Pirate Archipelago]

[What? Did he succeed in landing?]

[Congratulations (on) landing successfully (ha)]

[Pirates, wait. Drakan is coming!!]

As soon as I finished speaking, the chat window was refreshed like crazy, and the moment I was about to continue my commentary.

[Eugene: Hello, Drakan-nim.]

A nickname that was all too familiar to me entered my eyes.

“Eugene?”

Eugene!

That man who is so well known that it’s tiresome to even explain him!

Why on earth did he enter my stream?

[Eugene?]

[Eugene-nim?]

[Hul, is it really Eugene-nim?]

[Seems like the real deal?]

[It’s the real deal;;]

[Hey, the guys who were dissing Eugene in the chat earlier, come out quickly LOLOLOL]

[Eugene-nim has arrived!!!!]

[God Eugene-nim! Please save us!!]

[Eugene Appears!]

[Look at Drakan being flustered LOLOLOL]

[Really, this is the first time I’ve seen Drakan like that;]

[His commentary got cut off LOLOLOL]

[Even Drakan is flustered by Eugene…… You are a textbook……]

As soon as Eugene appeared, the chatroom became chaotic again.

Chat alerts blinking even more intensely than before!

Everyone was showing a heated reaction to Eugene’s appearance.

At that very moment.

[Eugene: I’ll be cheering you on.]

[‘Eugene’-nim has donated 10,000,000 KRW.]

Eugene!

He poured oil on the fire.

‘A 10 million won donation?’

I wasn’t the type to pay attention to every single chat message, but the 10 million won donation was the largest sum I had ever received in my short broadcasting history.

[10 million won. Hul.]

[Seeing this in real-time;;]

[Wow. He’s throwing a big one and leaving]

[Magnanimous God Eugene…… You are truly……]

[What? I thought they weren’t on good terms?]

[Didn’t you see the live broadcast of them shaking hands?]

[Wow, did you live in the mountains? Ahjussi, do you not watch TV either?]

[‘BigSpenderToday’-nim has donated 10,000 KRW.]

[‘noobmaster’-nim has donated 1,000 USD.]

[‘ssdig122′-nim has donated 2,000 EUR.]

After Eugene generously donated 10 million won to my stream, not only did the chat and donation messages boil over, but the number of viewers began to increase exponentially.

As someone whose goal is to bring down Eugene, it was an ambiguous situation where I didn’t know whether to be happy or not!

In that situation, I expressed my feelings in one sentence.

“10 million won. You could do so much with that kind of money, what a waste.”

[Eek. He called it a waste LOLOLOL]

[But isn’t this the first time Drakan has reacted to a donation message?]

[Really? This is the first time. I donated 100,000 won last time, but he didn’t even bat an eye ㅠㅠ]

[Honestly, if it’s a big shot like Eugene, wouldn’t it be a bit weird if he didn’t react?]

[If it was Eugene, I would react too]

[Look at Drakan’s tone. Just like the only person in the world who speaks informally to Eugene.]

[Drakan doesn’t even say thank you, he’s so blunt]

[Eugene: Hahaha;; It’s definitely not a waste. I’ll visit often in the future.]

“Do as you please.”

That’s how I replied to Eugene’s chat.

Eugene!

I don’t know why he came into my stream, but well, I can’t ban him from the stream now, and since we advertised to the whole country, no, the whole world, that we made up by shaking hands live, I couldn’t be cold to him now.

[Eugene: Please take care of me. :)]

“You too.”

Therefore, all I could say was a blunt reply.

As I answered like that, the chat was filled with nonsense about me being a tsundere, seeing me communicate with someone on stream for the first time, and donations poured in once again.

Although Eugene’s unexpected appearance delayed things a bit, I still had work to do.

“Anyway. Listen carefully, everyone. I have something to do today.”

I raised Iron Blood Executor and pointed it at the Pirate King’s fortress.

“That’s right, to tear apart and kill those damn pirates. Especially the Pirate King! Today will be his death anniversary.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the chat window began to shake.

The Pirate King!

The ruler of the Eastern Sea!

His reputation was that great.

“Ignis! Go and smash the gates!”

“Understood, Drakan-nim.”

Following my command, Ignis stepped forward, his entire body engulfed in orange flames.

Hwaruruk! Hwaruk!

Flames soaring like lava!

With those flames surrounding his body, Ignis stretched out his right hand, pointed at the main gate of the fortress, and muttered briefly.

“Inferno.”

Inferno!

Ignis’s ultimate skill, the one he used to deliver the final blow to Scylla.

The orange sphere gathered at the tip of Ignis’s right finger exploded, piercing the main gate of the fortress like a laser beam.

Kwaaang!

With a tremendous roar, the entire area where the fortress stood was blown away.

If it had been a real, proper fortress, it would have been almost impossible to blow the gates away with a single skill, but the Pirate King’s fortress was essentially a pseudo-fortress that only looked impressive, making it possible.

Looking at the burning and collapsing gates and the startled pirates, I gripped Iron Blood Executor.

Thump!

I could feel my heart pounding.

Feeling the gamer’s heart pounding, I stood at the forefront of the army and ran towards the enemy lines.

To the battlefield, where I belong.

▄ ▄ ▄

Blade of the Tsunami!

The fortress where the Pirate King resided, and where the plundered treasures were piled up underground, was transformed into a battlefield in an instant after Ignis’s Inferno directly hit the main gate.

“Kill the humans!”

“Die! You fishy bastards!”

The troops from both sides, the Merfolk and the pirates, were engaged in a melee inside the collapsed fortress, but the pirates were struggling to maintain the front lines as their main forces had been pulled towards Golden Harbor.

And above all, the fact that most of the core fighting power, including Drakan and Ignis, was present on this side was nothing short of a nightmare for the pirates.

“Ignition.”

Ignis waved his hand, and flames erupted everywhere.

Over-Ranker!

The Flame Emperor, Ignis!

His power, said to be on the level of a strategic weapon, possessed by only twenty users in the Ard World, was tremendous, to the point where it was hard to believe he had just used his ultimate skill, Inferno.

But Ignis wasn’t the only one on this battlefield.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

The madly laughing naked warrior!

PantyWarrior, wielding a greatsword while wearing only a pair of underwear, narrowly dodged the pirates’ spears and swords, mercilessly smashing their heads, his muscular body already drenched in the pirates’ blood.

In addition to PantyWarrior and Ignis, numerous named users from JDG were cutting down pirates everywhere, their live streams on.

“Blade of the North Wind!”

And among them was the mage, Shin Ha-yeon, who was indiscriminately scattering ice magic in the air.

Shin Ha-yeon, who participated directly in the battle, chanted magic spells with an expressionless face, and every time her staff sparkled, a shower of ice colder than the Arctic glaciers rained down on the pirates.

But among them, the one who was undoubtedly the most popular with the enemies was Drakan.

“It’s Drakan!”

“Kill him!”

Drakan!

The contractor of the Dark God. And to the pirates, the very cause of this war.

As he was the top priority target of the Pirate Alliance, countless pirates rushed towards Drakan like a swarm of bees.

An ordinary user would feel their legs tremble just by seeing the sight of countless enemies surging forward like waves.

But Drakan was laughing as he looked at them.

“It’s been a while since I’ve felt this kind of passionate popularity.”

For Drakan, this current situation was a very familiar, even comfortable scene.

Six years ago.

When he continued to wage war after war to unify the continent.

The more wars he fought, the more countless people on the battlefield fought with all their might to kill him, but each time, he had the experience of breaking through that carnage and achieving victory.

And compared to that time, his current popularity (?) was on a cute level.

Thinking that, Drakan took a step forward.

“Overlord’s Stride.”

As he activated the skill, an intangible pressure emanated from Drakan’s body, and the charging pirates momentarily faltered.

In that split second, Drakan cast another skill.

“Tyrant’s Command.”

As the activation word concluded, a giant symbol appeared in the sky above Blade of the Tsunami fortress.

A red gear and a skull!

Iron Blood Alliance!

The symbol of the Iron Blood Alliance, the guild that had once briefly unified the entire continent and was a symbol of fear and oppression, adorned the sky, and the skill’s effect was applied to everyone on the battlefield.

Morale boost and stat buffs for allies, morale drop and stat debuffs for enemies!

Hit by Overlord’s Stride and Tyrant’s Command in succession, the pirates’ movements were now noticeably slower, and Drakan stepped into their midst, swinging Iron Blood Executor.

“Keuk!”

“Aack!”

[Critical Hit!]

A critical hit message popped up every time he swung his sword!

Drakan smiled as he looked at the message.

The Ard Saga series, due to its virtual reality nature, was a game where players had to physically move their bodies to strike enemies, unlike previous games.

In other words, unless you chose a class unrelated to physical combat, like a mage, priest, or spirit summoner, people who had actually learned martial arts like fighting or swordsmanship had a significant advantage in the game compared to ordinary people.

No matter how much the system compensated with passive skills, there was bound to be a difference between the movements of an ordinary person who knew nothing and someone who had trained in martial arts.

Of course, since it was a game, even if you were completely uncoordinated and knew nothing about martial arts, you could still enjoy the game thanks to the system’s compensation. However, in the world of the top players, where victory or success in raids could be decided by the smallest difference, whether or not you had trained in martial arts was a significant variable.

Therefore, countless rankers and high-ranking users enrolled in dojos, and thanks to that, martial arts dojos experienced an unexpected boom.

And Drakan was one of the first users to grasp the characteristics of Ard Saga and enroll in a dojo before the martial arts trend started.

Having accumulated experience in both the game and the real world for so long, Drakan’s swordsmanship had already reached a considerable level.

However, reality and the game weren’t completely the same. Reality didn’t have skills, but the game did.

And as a user who had once reached the top, Drakan was already more proficient in ‘game combat’ than any other user.

There was no way mere pirates could stop such a Drakan.

Aura flickered on Iron Blood Executor.

Now, it was time to clear away the pirates blocking Drakan’s path.
