Chapter 394: Weak Die. Strong Survive.

[NepoBaby: Holy shit, has Raon ascended to another realm?!]

[FeelerMan: That’s insane! I’ve never seen Perfect Parry performed in an actual fight before!]

Xiao Yue descended from the sky and landed next to Rasmus’ corpse and drew a cross across her chest.

While Rasmus did horrible things, Yue still showed him respect in death—after all, they used to be in the same guild before.

"How were you that confident in performing Perfect Parry?"

Graham walked over to Fang Raon and asked.

He recognized this young man from the "Hunt for the Butcher" video, and he was also the young man that rescued their family’s young princess.

Therefore, he already felt indebted to him, and so did their whole family, really.

"I was taught by a great man. He made me do parry training every night so I can do it even with my eyes closed.

"Eventually I happened to learn Perfect Parry—of course, I am still not perfect at it. I have a 50 percent success rate with it."

Fang Raon said.

"Fifty... So you really gambled your life there."

Graham chuckled.

"We would’ve died either way if Rasmus had launched his attack—there would’ve been hundreds of corpses for him to steal blood from.

"We wouldn’t have been able to escape, so before it got to that point, I made a decision on behalf of everyone."

Fang Raon said.

"...Good job."

Graham extended his hand for a handshake. They shook hands. And then Graham bowed towards Yue, and he took the rest of the Red Knights with him and left.

"You killed a member of Dead Redemption. How does that feel?"

Xiao Yue asked

"...I am honestly not all that happy. I still have a long way to go before I can challenge any of you in a proper combat."

Fang Raon said.

"Keep getting stronger. You’ve now announced yourself as a challenger to the top fighters of the tower. And Rasmus... he will return stronger than ever.

"And he won’t forget this."

Xiao Yue said with a smile.

"...Sounds interesting."

Fang Raon said and offered his hand for a handshake, and Xiao Yue looked at her, but then she smiled for some reason.

Instead of shaking his hand, she approached him and hugged him—in front of the camera—in front of thousands of the viewers.

"..."

Fang Raon’s eyes widened as she felt the warmth and smell of the woman—which honestly felt intoxicating.

"My sister wanted to give you a hug. So there you go. I hugged you on behalf of my little sister."

She whispered into his ear, and then she backed away with a smile on her face, and she pulled out her Tower Pearl.

"Don’t ignore my messages."

Xiao Yue said with a smile, and then she vanished into the purple mist.

Fang Raon looked at the corpse of Rasmus, and then, his corpse vanished, and in his place, several valuable items dropped.

Including his money pouch.

’They didn’t want any of these? They left it all for me?’

Fang Raon picked up the money pouch and checked how much there was inside.

[+2,567,555 Coins]

"What?!"

Fang Raon exclaimed.

[Coins: 2,992,647]

’This is insane. I’ve never had come across this many coins before. And these items... probably also go for a lot.’

Fang Raon quickly picked them all.

It was mostly Ranger items, so useless for him, but there was also Machellan Bow among them, that definitely would go for a lot of money.

’I guess it was their way of thanking me.’

Fang Raon smiled, and then he looked towards the chat window, and it was going crazy in there—he was getting so many subscriptions.

A lot of gifted subscriptions.

"Thank you for all the gifted subscriptions... There are so many that I cannot read all of them, but I am thankful."

[Viewers: 3,958]

’I guess people heard about what was going on in here.’

Fang Raon thought.

And at that moment, he saw a message in the chat window—the name was really familiar and by the way chat reacted, it was definitely him.

[LeonHardt: Congratulations]

[Heretic00: OMG, it is the real Leon!]

[Samirr: Holy shit, even Leon is here!]

"Well, hello there, Leon. I hope you are not too mad over me killing your friend. It was self-defense."

Fang Raon wryly smiled.

[LeonHardt: Weak die. Strong survive. That’s just the way the tower is]

’It doesn’t look like he is mad that Rasmus is dead. He might even be slightly happy about the fact.’

Fang Raon thought.

He then opened the system interface, checked the time, and saw that it was already starting to get late.

’I better hurry up with the tower boss.’

Fang Raon thought.

"Alright, I am now going to fight the tower boss. After that, I’ll be ending the stream, but thank you all for watching so far."

Fang Raon said, and then with Godspeed and Skydance, he started making his way towards the tower.

In that moment, his chat realized that he was going solo in there, and they thought that they were seeing things.

He was really going for Solo Clear!

LadyBelle, and few others—who had been watching since the beginning—thought it was normal at this point.

Fang Raon had already shown that he could Solo Clear these early floors!

...

Later at the night.

The glass lid of the Virtual Reality Pod X opened up, and Fang Raon scratched his hair as he climbed out.

"This was... a long day..."

He stretched his arms above his head, and then, he climbed out of the pod, and left the room—in that moment, he felt like the air in the apartment was cold.

"Oh, hello, dear."

Chaewon and Della was sitting at the couch. They were smiling. But there was something odd about those smiles.

"Can we have a word, my love?"

Della tilted her head and asked with a sweet smile.

"Sure..."

Fang Raon approached them, and then the two girls crossed their arms in front of their chests, and it didn’t feel appropriate for him to sit down.

So he kept standing as if he were in front of a military sergeant.

"Mind explaining this?"

Chaewon pulled out her phone.

There was a picture on it—a picture of two people hugging—it was Xiao Yue and Fang Raon hugging in front of the destroyed wall.
