Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

The sun shone brightly, and it was the peak of summer, so the days were long.

Slap – Slap –

The waves came and went as usual.

The coastline, which had been packed with people, was now completely empty, as everyone had evacuated to the concert venue after hearing the emergency alert, except for the Utopia party.

The sea reflected in the people's eyes was as calm as could be.

"Are… are the monsters really coming?"

Just as a woman with a tense expression muttered those words.

Bubble – Bubble –

A stream of bubbles rose from the sea, and one by one, they began to burst on the surface, creating a frothy mess.

Bubble Bubble Bubble Bubble Bubble –

With so many bubbles popping, the entire beach seemed to be boiling.

Splash -!

The water's surface bulged into a round shape, and then a large creature revealed itself.

It had a bluish tint, resembling metallic armor, and four eyes protruding from its shell.

On each side were two large pincers, capable of easily tearing a human in half, and three long legs supporting its body.

It was a Blue Crab, similar in appearance to a king crab, a monster from the Gates.

As the crabs, with their bright red eyes, emerged one by one, the faces of the onlookers paled.

An unimaginable number of Blue Crabs swarmed the shoreline.

"Whoa, they're here."

"It's true!!!"

"Oh God, this is terrible… even with Utopia Party, I don't think they can handle this many…"

Just then.

Dong – Dong – Dong –

[Ah -]

A voice, almost like a background to the thumping beat, echoed.

The crowd's gaze shifted back to the stage, where a large table had suddenly appeared.

Seated at the table, holding a microphone, were two people: Shin Se-hee in a swimsuit and Seo Ah-yoon, the organizer of the festival.

In this unexpected turn of events, with no support from the Hunter Management Bureau or the Velvet Hunter Academy, Seo Ah-yoon had reluctantly agreed to Shin Se-hee's proposal.

However, Seo Ah-yoon herself was unsure of what she was doing at that moment.

Nevertheless, since she was already on stage, she had to play her part.

[Um… Shin Se-hee, the number of monsters on the screen seems quite overwhelming. Are you sure it's going to be okay?]

As Seo Ah-yoon nervously bit her lip, Shin Se-hee smiled brightly, understanding her concern.

[Hehe! Don't worry! We're about to show you the true power of Utopia Party! Put your worries aside and just enjoy the show!]

Swoosh –

Jin Yuha appeared on the hologram, running a hand through his hair as he stepped forward.

With a confident expression, he looked at his party members and spoke.

The Utopia Party members, dressed in swimsuits, nodded firmly.

"Just do as we discussed, and we'll be able to drive these guys away."

The hologram of Jin Yuha seemed so lifelike, as if he were right there in front of them.

After a brief pause.

"Kyaaaaaaahhhh!"

"So cool! He's so handsome!"

"Jin Yuha's visuals are insane!!!!!"

"Utopia! Utopia!"

Hearing Jin Yuha's words, the crowd screamed as if their lives depended on it.

[Ah, that must be Jin Yuha, the leader of Utopia Party. He certainly has a reassuring presence. Shin Se-hee, can you tell us more about him?]

Seo Ah-yoon tried to keep the conversation going.

[...]

[Shin Se-hee?]

But Shin Se-hee, with her mouth hanging open, was staring up at Jin Yuha's hologram, seemingly lost in her thoughts.

[Shin Se-hee!]

Seo Ah-yoon tapped Shin Se-hee's hand, bringing her back to the present.

Swoosh –

Shin Se-hee flinched, swallowed, and blinked.

[Huh? What did you just say?]

[I asked if you could tell us more about Jin Yuha.]

[Oh, right. The explanation… Well, let's just watch the battle for now.]

[Huh? Are you sure?]

[Be quiet, I need to focus. Don't distract me.]

[Huh?]

Seo Ah-yoon gave her a bewildered look as the situation seemed to be falling apart from the start.

Rumble –

An unimaginable number of blue crabs emerged from the sea.

"Yuha, my junior…"

Lim Ga-eul, with a tense expression, gazed at the endless swarm of crabs in the vast ocean and called out to me.

"Are… are we really going to do this?"

"If you don't want to, you don't have to."

"Huh?"

"But if we don't, not only will I be disappointed, but so will the people. They're all watching right now. Your character has already been established, and if you back out now, you'll go back to being the unnoticed Im Gyeo-ul."

At those words, Lim Ga-eul's eyes widened.

She bit her lip, then lowered her head and mumbled reluctantly.

"Fine, fine! I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Lim Ga-eul clenched her jaw and glanced at the drone projecting the hologram, which hovered in the air.

Then, with a tilt of her head.

She covered half of her face with one hand and opened her eyes wide.

"Hmm, these insignificant creatures do not stir any emotion within me. Are there no stronger opponents?"

As she spoke, various voices poured out from the amplifier attached to the drone.

-Kyaaaaaahhhh!!!

-False Narrow Eyes! False Narrow Eyes! False Narrow Eyes!

You're already dead!!!

-Junior, help me!!!!

-Silly Narrow Eyes!!!

The voices pierced Lim Ga-eul's heart, and her eyes began to tremble.

Wince –

The approaching Blue Crabs stopped in their tracks.

"Huh? It's really working!? Wait, no… Hehe, they must have stopped because they sense my aura. Truly, the level of these insignificant beings is pitifully low."

Hmph.

I couldn't help but smile at Lim Ga-eul's over-the-top acting, as she had been hesitant just moments ago, but now she was fully embracing her character with the same intensity as when she had awakened her Black Magic Stone.

"Alright, my children, go forth and dispose of these pathetic foes – Accelerate!"

Lim Ga-eul, true to her character, used Accelerate on her party members.

"Alright, Utopia Party, let's go!"

I, too, played along, shouting words I wouldn't normally say as I leaped forward.

Swish –

Swirling in the air, I gracefully drew out Moonlight.

Screech –

With a sharp slicing sound, two of the Blue Crab's pincers went flying.

"-Kyaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

Whoosh -!

The Blue Crab, now missing two of its pincers, angrily swung its remaining pincer at me.

'Where do you think you're swinging that?'

I watched it calmly, then kicked one of the severed pincers that was still floating in the air.

Thud -!

Thump!

The pincer fell to the ground, and my body leaped once more.

This was an application of the Shadow Step I had used earlier during the swimming competition with Kang Do-hee.

If I could momentarily float on water, then using a solid platform like the pincer was child's play.

Screech –

Screech –

Screech –

I continued to use the severed pincers as platforms, slicing through the crabs' bodies as if I were flying through the air.

"The Mongrel can't have all the fun!"

Splash –

Kang Do-hee, in her bright red bikini, joined the battle.

"It's not Mongrel, it's Kang Puppy!"

I called out from a distance.

Squeeze.

"…"

Kang Do-hee clenched her jaw.

Then, as if channeling her anger at the enemy, she spun her body and struck the crabs with her fists.

Crack -!

Boom -!

The Blue Crab's remains exploded, shredding the grass beneath.

Chomp.

In the midst of the chaos, one of the crabs grabbed Kang Do-hee's body with its pincer and began to drag her towards its mouth.

"Hmph!"

Thud.

She gripped the crab's plastron with all her might.

Crunch -!

The crab's carapace completely detached from its body.

"-Kyaaaaaahhhhh…"

With Jin Yuha and Kang Do-hee showcasing their prowess as the party's damage dealers,

"Sophia, my junior?"

"Mm… Jin Yuha, you're so cool… Did you call me?"

"We planned to coordinate our attacks, junior…"

"Oh, right. Just a moment!"

Whoosh –

Sophia raised her bow and fired a series of silver arrows.

Pshoo – Pshoo – Pshoo – Pshoo –

Her arrows struck the crabs' joints, but as a healer, her power was insufficient to sever their legs.

"Hahahaha – It's my turn now."

With a confident smile, Lim Ga-eul, wearing black gloves, swung her hand.

Whoosh –

Screech -!

"You're already dead."

With Lim Ga-eul's magical power added to Sophia's arrows, the crabs' joints snapped and broke.

'Everyone's doing great.'

I continued to slice through the crabs' pincers, keeping an eye on my party members' battle.

In this fight, I hadn't given them any specific instructions.

The only thing I had asked of them was to put on a show, to make the battle as flashy and exciting as possible.

After all, this Haeundae Swimsuit Event was fundamentally a festival, a time to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

This was evident from the characteristics of the Blue Crabs themselves.

Unlike most monsters, which contained mana and were thus unsuitable for consumption, Blue Crabs were an exception.

If you cut out the part where the mana was concentrated, the remaining crab meat was of the highest quality, with an incredibly delicious flavor. Plus, being a monster, it retained its freshness even after death, making it a very efficient food source.

Additionally, the crabs were sensitive to sound and vibration, so the more the crowd cheered and went wild, the easier they became to drive away.

-Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! Utopia! Utopia!

-Saint, you're amazing!!!!

-False Narrow Eyes! False Narrow Eyes! False Narrow Eyes!

-Kyaaaaahhhh! Fighting Dog!

-Yuha! Waaahhhh – You're my only hope!!!

The cheers and applause were deafening, and the support for Utopia Party seemed to surpass that of the player party at this point in the game.

Wince –

The Blue Crabs, which had initially charged forward boldly, now seemed hesitant, inching backward due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the crowd.

'But if this keeps up, we might not be able to hunt enough of them…'

Of course, I had a plan for that as well.

"Soup!"

I called out to Lee Yoo-ri, who was waiting at a distance.

As if she had been waiting for my signal, she slammed her microphone on the shield.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh – !!!!!
