The me Giant could not conceal his disbelief.
What in the world was this human babbling about?
[It seems you didn’t understand. The Great Demon Lord has granted you half of the Half-Demon Ridge. This is the opportunity to be the true king of humanity.]
A power-hungry ruler demands obedience.
A monster that feeds on humans grants the throne.
Everything about this wasughable.
How much was he underestimated?
How little was he valued?
How could such treatment, such sphemy, be taken for granted?
Whether the origin of this came from the Demon Realm or the Human Realm,
he no longer cared.
The human-facedndlords and wandering merchants were just exceptions.
Most demons would consider this normal if it were on this side.
[We will follow and trust only you, our lord.]
[Do as you please…]
[The Demon King of mes is an incredibly powerful demon. Before the renowned Five Generals of the Demon King’s Army were known, he was a terror in the First Demon War. Turning him into an enemy will be disastrous.]
The unconditional loyalty of the ck Knight.
The boogeyman’smand to simply make a decision.
The cowardly, fear-filled half-demon’s warning.
With thest advice from his subordinates andpanions, a critical choice that would determine everyone’s fate came to mind.
<strong>【Key Interactive Choice】</strong>
[After hearing the final advice from his subordinates...]
<ol>
<li>Ally with the Demon King of mes. (Route to hunt the General of the Bowmen)</li>
<li>Ally with the General of the Bowmen. (Route to hunt the Demon King of mes)</li>
<li>Kill them all. (Annihtion Route)</li>
</ol>
There was no doubt in his mind.
Ha Heung-heung had already decided his path.
[?Kill them all.]
mes soared over the shoulder of the Demon King of mes.
[Hahahaha! This is what I was hoping for. The strongest swordsman of the Human Realm—ever since I heard that title, I’ve longed for this moment.]
[Even if I defeat the strongest general of the Demon Realm, it would be nothing more than a rabbit ruling a mountain without a lion—an unworthy fame attached to a loser.]
[But now, I’ll show you true strength, built with nothing but my own power, without any false reputation!]
As the me intensity from the entire body of the me Demon King increased, the air around him grew scorching hot.
[Has arrogance intoxicated you so much that you’ve ignited the fiery spirit of a monstrous being?]
[You have cornered us, so we will show no mercy.]
[Let your foolishness be your regret!]
As the General of the Bowmen took a vial from his chest and drank from it, his subordinates also tore open the containers filled with ck liquid and drank it in one gulp.
With a sickening noise, their bodies tore apart, revealing ckened carapaces emerging from their broken flesh.
[Enemy units detected inrge quantities.]
In an instant, all the entities from the epicenter of the First Demon War were turned into enemies, but the Silent Swordsman did not fear.
Fear belonged to them, not her.
ck─@@novelbin@@
The sound of a sword unsheathing echoed, and she simply grasped the sword at an angle.
[The Raid Boss-level Demon King <me Demon King> has enteredbat mode.]
[The Event Boss-level Demon <ck Armored Legion Commander> has enteredbat mode.]
The time for annihtion had arrived.

Speed Master, now an unofficialmentator and analyst for the Silent Swordsman’s broadcast, actively provided livementary and analysis before countless viewers.
“The me Demon King is a monster that you can’t even think of challenging unless you’ve yed through at least five times. He’s also the final boss of part one.”
If I just kill him, something big might change.
Maybe I could attempt it now that I’m this strong.
Many yers dream and rush in, thinking they can try.
“Actually, if you kill him, you’ll enter the Human route, avable only to 0.04% of the Half-Demon Ridge yers. The defeat of the me Demon King is the key to activating this route.”
Hearing this, Ha Heung-heung would be surprised to know that.
Ordinary people with neither internal power nor martial skills can actually fight and defeat a raid boss-level monster purely through game skill.
<ul>
<li>Heh, haha, that’s a joke, right?</li>
<li>You think I’ll fall for that again?</li>
<li>That’s also an un-kible boss, right?</li>
<li>If the me Demon King shows up, shouldn’t we just run?</li>
<li>While the White Spirit Army blocks the Demon King, we should get stronger and loot the Thousand Year Ice Sword.</li>
</ul>
Most viewers didn’t believe thement.
It couldn’t make sense to them ording to their knowledge.
However, a tiny few of the true gamers,
after countless retries, made the impossible possible.
<Eun Da-hye has donated 10,000 KRW!>
That boss can really be killed!
<Lightning has donated 10,000 KRW!>
Many newbies haven’t seen the Half-Demon Ridge guide from Sensei.
<Master of Ninja Kill has donated 50,000 KRW for the video!>
Domo = Speed Master on top. Ninja Killer death.
(me Demon King Ninja Kill verified video)
The me Demon King can be killed.
Through immense effort and multiple game cycles,
even without looting the Thousand Year Ice Sword,
without it being a first-cycle demon field,
in the middle of the First Demon War epicenter...
<ul>
<li>Does that mean you can do it on the first cycle?</li>
<li>Without skills?</li>
<li>With just natural healing and no potions?</li>
</ul>
“Is that possible? You damn fools. You’re not even Awakened.”
<ul>
<li>Hahaha</li>
<li>Sensei confesses: Silent Swordsman can’t follow through.</li>
<li>Honestly, Awakened beings are ridiculously strong.</li>
</ul>
The Awakened certainly are powerful.
They break the limits of the human body, surpassing the bounds ofmon sense with their abilities.
“I’ll tell you straight up. The me Demon King can be hunted. If you’re a regr person on the 5th cycle or an Awakened on the 3rd cycle, or a physical streamer on the 3rd cycle, then yes. But…”
That’s not all.
“There are conditions. You can only clear the minimum difficulty me Demon King at the lowest entry point—just scraping by.”
<ul>
<li>Wow, is the me Demon King that weak?</li>
<li>I’ve never gotten that far, so I didn’t know.</li>
<li>I guess he wasn’t made to be beaten?</li>
<li>No wonder, even if you memorize the patterns, it’s still impossible.</li>
</ul>
“What about the highest difficulty?”
“The highest difficulty me Demon King? For a regr person, you need 100 cycles. For an Awakened, 50 cycles. For a physical streamer, 20 cycles.”
This means that only extreme power-ups can even hope to face this monster.
“At 100 cycles, it might seem overwhelming, but after you umte enough DLC clears or new characters through the True Opening, the cycles will increase quickly.”
As the cycles umte and the specs are built, the sess of the strategy depends on the individual’s physical skills, mental capacity, experience, focus, and tenacity.
“But that madman just charges in with a direct attack.”
With no Blessing of Lineage, no potions, no essories, and no other tools, the Silent Swordsman faces the notorious me Demon King on the highest difficulty.
No one thought this strategy would fail.
<ul>
<li>So, is the Silent Swordsman going to win or lose??</li>
</ul>
“Do you think this guy will lose? He’s switching the genre to Total War, and dark energy is sting out of his sword like lightning!”
<ul>
<li>Hahahaha</li>
<li>Who’s the boss here?</li>
<li>From the effects, the me Demon King looks like our ally.</li>
</ul>
The first known attack pattern of the me Demon King: a giant hand mming the ground.
Even such a simple attack raises the difficulty, causing a crater at the point of impact, with surrounding ground glowing red and fire pirs shooting up.
Whirr!
Kiaaaa─
me Ghosts rise from the embers that fall to the ground and rush forward as a legion.
This was a raid boss monster, no doubt.
The Silent Swordsman swiftly leaps several meters, swinging his Death Sword, which emits ck energy, to cleave through the fire pirs.
[Volcano Bomb]
[Whirlwind sh]
That Silent Swordsman, with no trace left,
was ready to be crushed mercilessly with a flurry of punches
before turning to ash.
The ground shakes with an earth-shattering sound,
the ground crumples, copses, and shatters,
creating an even deeper pit,
and the scene bes one of utter devastation.
<ul>
<li>"How the hell are we supposed to beat this?!"</li>
<li>"This looks stronger than the final boss??"</li>
<li>"Isn''t this Demon General way stronger than we expected?"</li>
</ul>
Even Speed Master, stunned by the disy, couldn''t keep his mouth shut.
"I can''t even…"
<ul>
<li>"Hahaha, if you can''t do it, who will?"</li>
<li>"Don''t give up, Sensei! Show these monsters that humans can do it too!"</li>
<li>"Silent Swordsman being treated like a non-human."</li>
<li>"Does this look like a human to you?"</li>
</ul>
No matter how powerful the Awakened were, how strong did a human have to be to take on such ferocious attacks, one after another?
The battle wasn’t just about the monster’s attacks; it was also about blocking the relentless wave of me Ghosts and the ck Armored Legion''s counterattacks.
<ul>
<li>"Looking at this, the ck Knight isn''t a joke either."</li>
</ul>
Amid the battlefield that could be straight out of a war film, the presence of the ck Knight was undeniable as he cleaved through enemy soldiers with one strike at a time!
<ul>
<li>"Kuh, the ck Knight, who was just a reliable lineage-based support, is now showing off his might."</li>
<li>"I’m a 7th cycle yer, but I don’t think I can beat the Silent Swordsman’s max-level, fully enhanced ck Knight."</li>
</ul>
The ck Knight managed to stop the charge with a brutal melee, then the ck Armored Legion Commander retaliated,unching a barrage of scales like a Gatling gun.
The ck Knight couldn’t deflect all the scales despite swinging his spear to defend, and was slowly being pushed back when suddenly, dark shadows blocked the ck Knight’s path.
Thunk!
As the ck Armored Legion Commander was captured by the dozens of hands that appeared from the shadows, his legs were pinned down, and the ck Knight dashed forward, using his war spear to charge directly toward the battlefield!
Crash!
The ck Armored Legion soldiers, who tried to protect theirmander, were sent flying like bowling pins, their bodies tumbling through the air.
<ul>
<li>"Why isn''t Senseimenting and just watching?"</li>
<li>"Where did thementator go?!"</li>
</ul>
"Shut up. Don’t you see I’m watching a movie?"
<ul>
<li>"Hahaha, Cinema Cut direct viewing!"</li>
<li>"Feel the vibes of the action!"</li>
</ul>
Whatmentary was needed?
The level had drastically risen to a point where no other yer could evene close.
''This really is a monstrous disy. How can she keep getting stronger every time the broadcast starts?''
With a massive fireball floating in his palm, the me Demon King, like a baseball pitcher, unleashed an overhand throw, sending the fireball hurtling towards the battlefield.
Without even a hint of hesitation, the Silent Swordsman swung her sword to intercept the iing fireball, deflecting it with a force that split the fire in half.
As the battle turned into an epic legend, one missed fireball veered off-course and flew toward the ck Knight''s path.
[!!!]
An explosion apanied by a cloud of heat and dust.
As the ck Knight cancelled his charge, he stood up, covered in dust, and removed his cloak, finding the once smooth terrain now turned into a deep pit.
The view of the ck Knight was filled with disbelief as he nced toward the battlefield.
Taking a deep breath, the me Demon King exhaled a firestorm, unleashing an inferno from his mouth, but the Silent Swordsman’s sword, glowing with dark energy, cleaved the fire apart, carving through it like a knife.
[Ohh, my lord.]
No one in the audience mocked the ck Knight for forgetting the chaos of war, as they could only watch in awe.
<ul>
<li>"Aaaah, it’s so hot!!!"</li>
<li>"Breaking news: Survival links in live broadcasts are plummeting dramatically!"</li>
<li>"Inferno Hell Simtion, damn!"</li>
<li>"Fireballer (the ball really ignites)!"</li>
<li>"You crazy guys, don’t y baseball with fireballs in a war game!"</li>
<li>"Over here, here! Someone hit it!"</li>
<li>"It’s burning but it’s not burning. I can’t understand the Silent Swordsman’s sensory link."</li>
<li>"Seriously though, haha."</li>
<li>"Aaah, the big one’sing!!! Hurry up and hit it, hurry hit it!!"</li>
</ul>
The audience, watching the battle from the perspective of the Silent Swordsman, screamed in fear or were hurriedly trying to force a log-out or escape as the chaos unfolded before them.
<ul>
<li>"Doesn’t something feel cool in the chest area?"</li>
<li>"Maybe it’s the fear of death making our chest feel cold?"</li>
</ul>
