[Its true My connection with him is severed.]

The Conquerors soul, with a touched expression, grasped his own spiritual form.

[Thank you. Truly, thank you! I can finally perish!]

Was his time with the Constellation of the Dead Star really that horrendous?

As soon as he was freed, he immediately tried to obliterate his own soul.

The Conquerors soul began to turn transparent in an instant, trying to vanish.

But then.

[Ah. The reward Yes. I must give it! All of it!]

It seemed a system message had popped up, urging him to bestow the reward even in death. He halted his own obliteration.

[But theres too much of me tainted by that bastard]

With a dissatisfied look, the Conquerors soul reached into his own body in various places.

Then, he pulled out a pure white flame from his chest.

[Is this the weapon you used? Yes My Phoenixs Arrow.]

The Phoenixs Arrow, which became a medium for the Divine Judgement, was stuck in the ground, burnt completely black.

The Phoenixs Arrow, now unusable due to the loss of its five casting chances, was approached by the Conquerors soul.

[By the first Khans command; O Phoenix, spread your wings.]

Whoooosh!

The Phoenixs Arrow, as if to turn it completely to ashes, was wrapped in a pure white flame.

One by one, as the flames intensified, the Phoenixs Arrow not only returned to its original form, but grew even bigger.

The enlarged Phoenixs Arrow then transformed.

A flag?

The arrow changed into a form adorned with a phoenix at its tip.

The cloth forming the flag was made of pure white flames.

The energy emanating from the Phoenix Flag now held a heat several times more intense than before.

[Phoenix Flag. This is all that the tainted me can offer. Thank you, my savior.]

With that, beside the Conquerors soul, which was becoming transparent in an instant, the in-game version of the Conquerors soul, who had been watching with distaste, spoke.

[You, how could you give the Phoenix Flag As a descendant of the Phoenix, one must always possess it!]

[You try being in my place. If theres salvation, I would give up everything, liver and intestines included.]

[Ha!]

[So its finally my time to perish! Hahaha! Thank you! Thank you!]

In such a hurry.

After giving the Phoenix Flag, the Conquerors soul set himself on fire.

Even in his annihilation, a broad smile graced his lips, revealing his sheer joy.

Before he completely vanished, he left a word of advice to Seong Jihan.

[Never get involved with him. No matter what sweet words he utters, never approach him.]

I have no intention of doing so.

[Keep that thought, even in death. The Dead Star its a place far more terrifying than you can imagine.]

Fwish!

With those words, the Conquerors soul completely vanished.

It signaled the end of the Silver promotion match that took place in a special map.

[Player Seong Jihan has subdued the special boss Black Hand.]

[With the victory of the Northern team, the game will end soon.]

Meanwhile,

There was an uproar in the commentators booth about this outcome.

* * * * *

Moments ago.

What What just happened? Christopher! Seong Jihan has disappeared! Can you explain?!

Well This is the first time Ive seen such a scene

I remember you saying something similar during the bronze rank-up match a month ago! If a commentator says that, you might not get your salary!

Haha! Looks like I might get fired because of Seong. But other commentators wouldnt know either. If they had to commentate on Seongs matches, theyd probably get fired too!

Following the disappearance of Black Hand, Seong Jihans figure had vanished without a trace, leaving the commentators clueless.

Since they couldnt broadcast the void, all they could see was an empty space.

What about the South

Ah, only Barren and Wang Lin remain!

A mass assault surely does wonders.

Well, weve seen the Souths situation, shall we return to the North?

* * * * *

On the southern battlefield.

The top of the wall had been completely occupied by the undead, with only Barren and Wang Lin remaining.

With all their might, they held against the Undead Legion.

However, the camera briefly showed the fierce battle, and then immediately shifted the cameras focus.

Hey, where did Seong go? He disappeared; what is happening?

Oh right! Seong Jihan had a private channel! Its still on, lets switch to that for a moment! Ah!

Intending to broadcast from Seong Jihans channel, the caster gasped upon seeing the new screen.

[This scene cannot be viewed in the tutorial.]

BattleNet, the combat game.

Here, even with the most brutal scenes unfolding, there had never been a viewing unavailable warning.

But now, this message appears

Christopher, is this the first time weve seen this message? Have you seen this before?

Well this is the first time for me as well.

Are we getting used to such surprises?

Ha! But maybe the boss will let this one slide? Were seeing quite different scenes today!

A situation akin to a broadcasting error.

To bypass the situation, the caster filled the time with concern over Christophers job security.

Soon after,

Oh! Seong Jihan reappeared!

But hes throwing his spear into the sky?!

Suddenly appearing, Seong Jihan threw the arrow in the sky.

It transformed into a giant spear of light that pierced through the Black Hand.

Seong!! Jihan!! He tears apart his opponent!!

Seong has gone mad! Doesnt BattleNet need more balance adjustments?!

Its as if a judgment is being delivered from the heavens! Its surprising hes even in a silver promotion match!!

The caster and commentator shouted at the top of their lungs.

The spear of light descending from the sky held such grandeur that it overawed all who watched.

But then, as Black Hand disappeared and a figure in a robe emerged, the screen suddenly turned dark, showing only one white message:

[This scene cannot be viewed in the tutorial.]

Christopher? Whats this? Can you explain?

I dont know! I genuinely dont! Bring someone here who knows!

Well, sadly, I think theres no one!

The appearance of Karlein, the Constellation of the Dead Star, was not broadcasted, only a dark screen was broadcast.

After a few minutes,

The southern camera feed isnt transitioning either!

Its totally frozen! This is a massive broadcasting blunder!

Its not our fault, of course! Its BattleNets mistake!

So even cosmic hyper-technology can make mistakes!

While the caster and commentator were chatting,

[Player Seong Jihan has subdued the special boss Black Hand.]

[With the victory of the Northern team, the game will end soon.]

Two messages appeared on the dark screen.

And then the game ended.

What its over just like that?

Yes, it seems so. It says its over!

The caster and commentator, equally puzzled, witnessed the abrupt end of the game.

They had broadcast countless Top 100 promotion matches, but this was a first.

Perhaps a similar broadcast glitch occurred last month during Seong Jihans Top 100 promotion match.

But then, only the screen went dark; they never saw the viewing unavailable message

Why did the promotion match end like this?

How on earth did Seong suppress Black Hand?!

Christopher, if you ask me, who do I ask?

The one supposed to comment and analyze was raising questions about todays game.

The internet was equally chaotic.

What the heck happened? What did Seong Jihan do?

I have no idea. I was watching the promotion match through Seong Jihans channel, and at some point, it just kept showing viewing unavailable.

Shouldnt we complain about this broadcasting error?

To whom?

ESPN.

Its clear that its BattleNets issue, not theirs lol.

Viewers, who were debating the cause of the broadcast glitch, were all the more riled up when Seong Jihan used the Divine Judgment, another viewing unavailable message appeared, and the game ended.

What? Its over?

Is this really the end? Seong Jihan won? Another victory?

Of course, he won. Didnt you see the hole in the sky earlier? Hes a crazy monster. How can Silver even use such a thing?

Aaaaah! Whats up with BattleNet? They said theyd balance it! How can they adjust the balance like this? BattleNet can be viewed even when there is no electricity but they cant balance a game properly?

This is all due to the majesty of Seong Jihan

We should just believe and follow. Tsk tsk Dont question his limits. If youre Korean, please bet on Seong Jihan!

But the users ID is Daegi Guild Master Lee Hayeon HOXY

Sure, Guild Master! Im the Guild Master! The Guild Master of Daegi Guild! Why is the Guild Master not betting on the Boss, and losing all the assets!

Ah Miss, just stop it.

Lee Hayeon, about to type in fury, was quickly stopped by Lim Gayeong.

Ahh Im crazy I shouldve just trusted Boss. Why did I lose my mind

Lee Hayeon buried her face in front of the keyboard, tears shimmering.

If she had just followed the prediction Seong Jihan had provided, she would have recovered all the money she lost and become even richer.

Why didnt she properly follow? What a mess.

Why use your brain?! Just follow the Boss! Why are you thinking, Lee Hayeon!

Thats what Im saying. Lim Gayeong thought, pushing the keyboard away from Lee Hayeon.

You only realize the right answer after losing money.

Looking at the despondent Lee Hayeon, Lim Gayeong felt pity, even though she had bet the opposite way.

Its better this way.

The young lady shouldnt gamble.

Shes already squandered all her assets, but shes still heavily involved in the Daegi Guild with Seong Jihan.

If she just works hard in that field, shell recover all the money she lost in no time.

Taking this event as a lesson, people should live more honestly

[Due to a flaw in todays BattleNet system, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience.]

[Due to an in-game error, fair betting was not achieved.]

[Compensation will be given to those who bet in this game through the BattleNet betting system.]

[Bets on player Seong Jihan will be paid out as is, but bets on other players will be refunded in GP.]

What?

Lee Hayeon, who had her head down, suddenly shot up.

Whats this about?

Theyre compensating?

Of course, BattleNet! Right! Everyone makes mistakes! But its how you fix them!

Wow, if they pay out to those who bet on Seong Jihan, the GP loss would be huge

Its not my money! I dont care!

Lee Hayeon, feeling like shes come back from the dead, brought back the keyboard Lim Gayeong had pushed away.

Aaaaah BattleNet! I love you!!

BattleNet is a god! BattleNet is a god! BattleNet is a god!

The compensation is really here? This is crazy

This is the pinnacle of hyper technology! The epitome of god games!!

Wow todays game is spectacular in so many ways.

I I was right after all!

No, you were wrong. Very wrong, Miss. BattleNet saved you once, so just stop it now.

No, this is a sign to continue

Looking at the dazed Lee Hayeon, Lim Gayeong sighed.

Even after getting compensated today, it wont be long before she loses all her assets.

Sigh, I should earn more.

Its inevitable.

Thinking shed have to keep on milking the situation, Lim Gayeong shook her head.

* * * * *

Meanwhile, Seong Jihan

[Due to a flaw in todays BattleNet system, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience.]

[A special reward will be given to the player Seong Jihan.]

Given the magnitude of the infiltration by a Constellation, Seong Jihan was able to receive a reward message that was completely different from his usual gameplay.
