Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

Chapter 185

1.

The baby archers did not understand.
The angel’s wing garment.
Why was the legendary equipment, which should be used to bind the player's whip, blocking their arrows?

[?_??]
[?.??]
[O-o?]

The barrage of questions from the baby archers.
The Dancer Miniature displayed an aggressive emoji.

[(?Ò?Ó)]

The Dancer Miniature was angry.
Even the giant and violent player had not harmed the animals, so why were they trying to harm the animals who wanted to help the humans?
This was a crime worse than the player’s actions.

[(???)]
[(???+)]
[(•???•)]

Instead of reflecting, the baby archers retaliated with threats.
What’s the big deal if those animals get hit?
Accept it as a sacrifice for the greater good.
If you don’t move, I’ll shoot you too.
The emojis carrying these meanings crossed an irreversible line between the two sides.

The baby archers praised her beauty, but they themselves lacked the beauty of spirit.
They were cowards, quick to submit to the slightest gesture, but they were also pure-hearted baby animals.

The Dancer Miniature made a decision.
Who should she fight for?
Which side should she take?
If there were those she needed to protect,
it was not the baby archers, but the baby animals.
If there were someone to follow,
it was not the archer miniatures, but the player.

[A branch has occurred.]

[Special Task]
[Task - 50(Original)]
[Type - Defeat Target]
[Target - ?: Dancer Miniature]

[Special Task]
[Task - 50(Hidden)]
[Type - Drive Away Enemy Forces]
[Target - Entire Map: Miniature Human Forces (Baby Archers, Audience Miniatures)]

The baby animals, realizing that the Dancer Miniature had protected them, became allies.
However, the opposing miniature human forces were no small threat.
With less than 10% HP, she had to drive them all away.

Not from both sides, but with allies on one side.
‘It won’t be difficult.’

Having held firm for five minutes even when both sides were present, and having maintained the principle of no killing, the burden was now halved, and the outcome was almost certain.

[Special Task Clear]
[Task - 50(Hidden) completed]

Lee So-hye, who had already cleared Task 50,
saw the game taking a different direction from the manager.

After the boss fight of Task 50,
the journey to obtain the legendary weapon of the Knight Miniature began.
Now, new enemies, including shield-bearers protecting the baby archers and engineers setting up barricades, added variety to the battlefield.

“Task 50 was simple. The knight miniatures’ subordinates have set up fortifications and barricades. We just need to pass through them.”

[Task - 51]
[Type - Reach Destination]
[Target - Reach the Gray Zone at the opposite end of the map]

• Kill targets, chase the wagon, break through the gate too?
• Quite the robust composition.
• Isn't this secretly a great game?
• Nah, the manager just handles the whip really well, that’s why it looks so good.
• It’s fun to watch others play, but it’s really a game for spectators.
• 40 days in the whip simulator, still can’t clear Task 40...
• If you watch the fish in the aquarium for an hour on the shelf, they wink at the player, isn’t that adorable? Haha.
• This is how you turn into a psycho from playing Lupin games. OK?
• OK.
• I'm serious…

Lee So-hye skillfully broke through the checkpoints.
She distracted sentries by whipping objects, or silently strangled the annoying sentries to keep them from screaming and dragged them away.
She stole keys to open locked doors or broke through barriers by destroying dams.

• Marching Manager!
• Breaking through gates, smashing them all!

[Special Task]
[Task - 60]
[Type - Defeat Target]
[Target - ?: Knight Miniature]

The legendary equipment obtained by the Knight Miniature was surprisingly the gate of the capital city of the Miniature Kingdom.

• That looks really sturdy.
• Not just sturdy, it’s going to be crushed.
• How are they even carrying that?
• The miniature kingdom’s bodybuilder.
• Even bodybuilders can’t carry gates, lmao, what monster are we talking about here?

“Oh~ How did you know? You’re smart. It’s not actually the gate, but the gloves. They’re gloves that can lift even the heaviest things.”

On the Silent Swordsman’s broadcast, Lee So-hye continued her chat skills, easily blocking some chat messages that were full of curse words.

• She’s actually got the streaming vibe.
• She’s a tough one from the start, her attitude is no joke.
• A whip-swinging beast in the whip simulator.
• There’s a stronger Hanwoo than Lu Bu, though, haha.
• Silent Swordsman is the Lu Bu now.
• Doesn’t it suit his image?

Lee So-hye was confident.
‘Up to here, I’ve already cleared it.’

She remembered the strategy for Task 60.

“This boss fight—first we need to abandon that ridiculously huge gate and get rid of those gloves.”

• The North Wind and the Sun strategy?
• Lure the sun in with the whip?
• Oh, clever.
• If the gate heats up and melts, we can let go, right?
• To cool the hands, the gloves must come off.
• Oh.
• Is that the North Wind and the Sun collaboration?
• North Wind and the Sun, mysterious teamwork.

“…Really clever. But that’s not my strategy. If I try that, the whip will melt first.”

• Oh, disappointment.
• Then what’s the plan?

“Once we get inside the capital, the princess lives in the highest tower. If we attack the tower and kidnap the princess, the knight miniatures will abandon the gate and chase us.”

• Huh?
• What kind of demon king are you?
• Why are we kidnapping the princess?
• When you think about it, this guy is definitely not normal.
• Only abnormal people can be managers for Silent Swordsman, haha.
• Obviously a villain, lol.
• Like real-life Bowser.

“Seriously. Don’t you guys think you can’t be kidnappers? Just mess around in front of the gate and you’ll get hit by cannonballs, end up on the floor, and maybe then you’ll understand.”

• Do they shoot cannonballs?
• Huh.
• This is crazy.

“This is the capital of the Miniature Kingdom. Honestly, it’s weird that this is so easy.”

The skills developed through the previous tasks.
The sharp observational skills that led to the strategy.
Swift responses to every moment.
Analytical skills that ranked the potential risks.
Crisis management skills when faced with unexpected dangers.
The boss fight that tested all these abilities.
Lee So-hye considered Task 60 to be a tremendous challenge due to its immense difficulty.

“You guys probably don’t think you can make it here, but as a courtesy, I’ll tell you. You won’t avoid cannonballs unless you have great reflexes, so here’s how!”

BAM

Lee So-hye swung her whip, smashing a building outside the castle and lifting it like a shield.

“Let’s close the distance with the shield strategy.”

• The way the player is treated here, it’s literally the demon king.
• If the Whip Destroyer makes it to Task 60, he’ll be a kingdom destroyer.
• Is this dark evolution?
• Dark evolution? More like field destroyer.

“Dark evolution, haha. More like a rice field destroyer.”

• Lmao.
• Fact> It’s a fact.
• The farmland outside the outer castle seems oddly familiar. We’ll probably roll there a lot from now on, huh?
• Honestly, I wouldn’t even try to dodge the cannonballs, so I’ll probably fall a lot.

“Here, I’ll whip the castle walls once, twice, three times, and push forward with my body.”

With the player’s enormous size, even when pushing with his body, the walls crumbled, and they successfully broke through the outer castle.

Walking through the fleeing citizens, crushing fountains and small buildings, they made successful progress.

“See? I was right.”

Instead of the knight miniatures holding up the gate, Lee So-hye broke through the outer walls and entered, lifting the tower.
Inside the tower, she grabbed the princess miniature with one hand, and the knight miniatures rushed forward in agitation.

“When she spreads her arms to grab the princess, don’t interfere. If you get caught, we’ll be lifted just like the gate.”

No room for complacency.
She waited for the right moment, recalling the warning, and the knight miniature stopped once the princess was rescued.

“Now, just throw anything. When the knight miniatures give up their gloves to the princess, they’ll come out to surrender. When that happens, we win!”

[Special Task Clear]
[Task - 60 completed]

• Learned the invasion strategy of the human world.
• Isn’t this demon king’s invasion doctrine?
• The knight miniature gave up his gloves to save the princess and surrendered, and I cried.
• Why are miniatures made to look so pitiful?!
• It was just a mess, is there a problem?
• Kingdom Destroyer Simulator is fun.
• Demon King Simulator, perfect score.
