Episode 102 [Valhalla / Opg] – In Search of ㅁㅁ
Two-round
A magnificent background music is heard.
Something unique to Valhalla.
“It feels like it’s been a while.”
8pm, as usual.
As announced the day before, Lee Do-hyuk’s broadcast appeared along with the start screen of [Rise of Valhalla].
After a brief greeting with the viewers, Lee Do-hyuk said while loading the game.
-Well, it’s been a while lol
-Knock-duck
-Because it’s true
[Pushing the Valhalla Story for the first time in a while / Lee Do-hyeok / 11,378 people]
Five minutes after turning on the broadcast.
The number of viewers has now surpassed 10,000.
His stock was at an all-time high after winning EVO, but as he said, it was also the first time he had played Valhalla in a long time.
As his name suggests, Dohyuk Lee is a comprehensive game streamer who has played many games up to now.
If you were to pick the one that Lee Do-hyeok’s viewers like the most, it would be Iron Fist.
The Ultimate Fighter will be right behind him by a narrow margin.
Of course, the audiences for the two games virtually overlap.
In other places, the fandoms of these two games would have been fighting over whether it was the original game or a derivative game, but at least in Lee Do-hyeok’s room, the fandoms of the two games have been united for a long time.
In fact, for the Taoist group, Lee Do-hyeok was almost like a god and a religious figure, so rather than wanting to watch a specific game, they enjoyed watching Lee Do-hyeok crush his opponents with his crazy physical prowess in 1 vs 1 matches.
-Valhalla House Haaaap!!!
-Wow
-It was a long wait…
-It was really long lol
-Give me the wheelbarrow!!
So if Api and Eolpa are the first and second, then the third game that the Taoist priests enjoy is Rise of Valhalla.
Considering the plays Lee Do-hyeok showed in Valhalla, it was natural.
Rise of Valhalla is a game where Lee Do-hyuk is a Viking, a martial artist, a dual-wielder, an assassin, and even Robin Hood.
Even in other streamers’ broadcasts, it is almost considered a souls-like genre due to its battle system that references the souls-like system and its unique high difficulty level, but when Lee Do-hyuk does it, the genre changes to hack and slash, so it is bound to be popular.
『Rise of Valhalla』
The game loaded like that.
Bam.
Lee Do-hyeok stroked the rose knife that he had taken out after a long time.
To be exact, it was a rose.
-Ah… Ahh…
-???
-f*ckㅋㅋㅋ what the heck
-No lol what is this
The chat window shook when it saw that.
Aunt May’s kitchen knife with durability of 5/5.
Perhaps because it was a cooking item, unlike other weapons, its durability did not decrease no matter how much it was used in battle, so the thing that Lee Do-hyeok used so well in the previous play was now in a miserable state.
“There was a rose… .”
-There wasn’t any lol
-No lol why is it really not there?
-What the heck? How did it break?
-Ugh lol
In fact, Lee Do-hyuk’s rose-knife play was quite a hot topic on iTube.
[Ah, I didn’t want to bring this up… / Rise of Valhalla Episode 9]
570k views / 2 weeks ago
The edited video garnered a lot of views, and the challenge of playing Valhalla with Aunt May’s kitchen knife became popular among other streamers who saw it.
However, it is not a problem to attack enemies, but if you collide with their weapons, their durability will decrease, so you have to avoid their attacks and hit them with a short rose sword, which is an absurd difficulty level that everyone quickly gives up on.
In the end, it was a challenge that ended up being just a passing fad for a week, and it only served to show once again how great Lee Do-hyuk was in doing it so nonchalantly.
“Ahem. That’s it.”
However, it is a fact that Auntie May’s kitchen knife, aka the rose knife, was a very popular piece of equipment in Lee Do-hyeok’s Valhalla play.
The reason why that rose-colored knife is now a rose-colored knife (was) was simple.
“This… I was going to try it one more time because it got +4 all at once… .”
Reinforcement failed.
Lee Do-hyuk blew up while trying to strengthen his defense before today’s broadcast.
-Ugh lol
-Auntie May is cryingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-f*ckㅋㅋㅋ
-I can’t stand the 5th level, okay?
-Even if you cut down the knights, it won’t explode because of one reinforcement…
“I have no choice but to send away Aunt May’s kitchen knife….”
Lee Do-hyeok put the rose knife away with a regretful expression.
And what he took out were two well-sharpened axes.
“I guess I’ll have to go back to the double axe.”
-oh
-Wow
-I rather like it
-Let’s go, twin axes~~~
-Sensei Dohyuk, this is right, lol
Viewers respond enthusiastically to that appearance.
In fact, before his return, Lee Do-hyeok had several other pieces of equipment besides the double axes.
Lee Do-hyeok, who sometimes used only his fists and feet, sometimes used swords, and sometimes used guns or bows.
But after he started broadcasting, somehow the double axes ended up becoming something like his trademark.
Of course, it didn’t really matter since he had been using the double axe frequently even before his return.
‘It’s also a setting that’s good to use in the current situation.’
The game begins in the dense forests of Northumbria.
The current progress of Valhalla is such that only a few important parts remain until the end.
Although there are some parts that are overlooked, it is practically cleared once you complete a few major quests.
But the reason Lee Do-hyeok came to the forest today wasn’t because of the main quest.
“I didn’t know, but there are monsters in Valhalla too. Should I say legendary beasts?”
-Hey, isn’t this the Wolf Forest?
-Yeah, that seems right
A hunting quest that can be considered a side quest.
Although Rise of Valhalla emphasizes realism, it is still a game, so it has implemented legendary animals into the game.
To be exact, these are strangely large and agile animals that make you think that the Vikings of the past might have been reminded of mythical animals when they saw these animals.
The guy that Lee Do-hyeok came to catch just now was one of those people.
Bb-
Lee Do-hyeok opened the quest window.
『The Three Sons of Banargand』
『Banargand, born between Loki and Angerboda, is a huge wolf whose jaws can touch the sky and the earth when it opens its mouth. If we can catch the three wolves that are clearly his sons, Odin’s honor will be further enhanced.』
Banargand is another name for the monster wolf in Norse mythology, famously known as Fenrir.
In other words, the core of this quest was to catch three giant wolves that looked like they were the sons of Fenrir to anyone who looked at them.
‘I’ve been beating up people all the time lately, so sometimes I crave things like this.’
If you think about it, most of the aliens that Lee Do-hyeok had to deal with before his return were inhuman-shaped monsters.
However, in recent weeks, he had been fighting only against other players in Iron Fist and Overground, so this kind of battle was something that Lee Do-hyeok was drawn to after a long time.
“Actually, there’s something you guys don’t know…”
-Oh, right.
-ㄷㄷ I came to complete the wolf quest
-But is this guy good at catching monsters?
-First of all, Bbaek Bbaek is good at catching fish ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugh lol
-Haven’t you seen Itkills2?
Kwak-
“I’m originally more of an expert in this area.”
Lee Do-hyeok said, holding the two axes in his hands.
* * *
A physical feast.
Crunch!
That’s definitely the kind of thing you’d use in a situation like this.
A total of three wolves.
But the reason this ‘Wolf Quest’ was difficult was not because there were three enemies to deal with.
Aww-!
A wolf that was bleeding after being hit by Lee Do-hyeok’s axe blade just a moment ago.
The creature jumps backwards significantly and howls.
Then, private wolves appear from somewhere.
This is the real reason why the current wolf quest is so difficult.
The second pattern is activated when your blood falls below 50%.
In other words, there are not just three wolves to deal with, but three big ones and dozens of small ones.
-Call a friend lol
-Even so, it’s just one cut, right?
But no matter how many there are, if it’s Lee Do-hyeok who’s dealing with them.
Taat!
Lee Do-hyuk jumps into the midst of wolves.
His arms waved as if dancing.
What the heck?
The axe in his left hand cut through the wolf’s gaping neck and continued on.
Then, Lee Do-hyeok swings the axe around and strikes it down, striking the wolf on the other side.
One at a time, as the arms swing.
How much time has passed like that?
Whirik-
Lee Do-hyeok threw an axe.
Then came the sound of a “Crunch!”
Cough!
Now the scream of the last wolf left alone echoed.
That ends the battle.
-The mixer’s performance is terrible;;
-Wow, please nerf the double axe a bit.
-Really, a blender is better than a rose knife
As viewers, we should be used to it by now, but it was something we just couldn’t get used to.
“Oh, right. Last time, someone asked me how to use a double axe well… Should I have given them a lecture after a long time?”
Lee Do-hyeok speaks while retrieving the axe with a relaxed look on his face.
I don’t know if it’s Lee Do-hyeok’s play, but viewers who are used to this responded quickly.
-What the hell
-Isn’t that something you can just avoid and cut well?
-Ah haha I listened to the whole lecture
-Really lol
-This is a first-class instructor
-Hey, you can do it too!
“Oh. I think it’s time to start descending now.”
Lee Do-hyuk continues the tiki-taka with viewers.
At that time.
Tiring-
A notification that rings.
[‘Lee Do-hyeok’s disciple’ donated 10,000 won.]
At that moment, Lee Do-hyeok’s disciple appeared.
He, who was acting as a manager in Lee Do-hyeok’s room, threw a ten thousand won punch.
Of course, there was good reason for that.
-Breaking news) Kwabna’s entrance galleryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“…?”
Lee Do-hyeok expresses doubts because there is no explanation as to what kind of gallery it is.
Fortunately, the chat window that immediately exploded provided an explanation.
-Keep on going lol
-Really?
-???
-What’s wrong?
-Oh my god…
-Kwabungi: Lee Do-hyeok’s 1st place? I’ll stop him.
-Kwabna Opg declared conversionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this real?
-No, I’m not converting. I’m already registered in the league so I’m going to skip it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ -But I’m going to challenge for 1st place in OPG in my spare time
“… Are you crazy?”
Lee Do-hyuk looked through all the chat windows.
I couldn’t help but say those words.
* * *
…the crown prince of the Japanese fighting game world.
Or a swordsmanship genius, or a rising star in the Japanese fighting game scene, etc.
There was a time, or rather a few weeks ago, when someone was called that.
Of course, there is no such person anymore.
All that’s left is someone who lost to a streamer from Joseon, and who wasn’t even Lee Do-hyeok, but a streamer from Ulpa.
“Put the pressure down!”
But what’s important is an unwavering spirit.
Shinjiro was not discouraged by the unexpected defeat.
Because I know very well the reason for the defeat.
It’s a very common excuse, but ‘I lost because I let my guard down.’
If he hadn’t let his guard down, he would have won.
Shhhhhhhhh!
As if to prove Shinjiro’s thoughts, the sword was swung in a beautiful trajectory.
A sharp blow hits the opponent’s weak point.
And then look back again.
Crunch─!
Separation.
Another hit.
“…flaw!”
Shinjiro let out a small laugh.
If it’s now.
If we get together again.
‘I will not lose to the black girl!’
Taat!
Of course, it was a much lower goal than the original goal of Lee Do-hyeok… but anyway!
It was at that time that Shinjiro swung his sword, satisfied with his own play.
“concentration…”
“oh.”
Chaeng, chaeng!
-Crunch!
“…I told you to do it?”
Shinjiro is hit by the opponent’s sword attack that was quickly fired.
Then a notification pops up in front of you.
[YOU LOSE]
These days, I’m sick of seeing defeat notifications.
I just lost in one hit.
But that’s okay.
Because Shinjiro knew that he had grown amazingly in the past few weeks compared to his past self.
Besides, what’s the big deal about losing to this guy and not anyone else?
[Shinjiro]

[Lynn]
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □
“Haha. But I still hit you twice…!”
That’s truly a great leap forward!
Since the end of the streamer competition a few weeks ago, he had been unable to land a single proper hit on his older sister and had suffered a perfect defeat.
But time has passed since then and now.
He managed to attack Lin twice!
“… It has gotten a lot better.”
Lin said, retrieving the sword that had been stretched out.
“Heh! I’m not happy at all when you say that!”
Shinjiro said with a very satisfied smile.
Recognition from my older sister.
How many years has it been since I’ve heard that?
What a compliment to hear from a sword of all things.
“Haha. Oh, right. What was it that you asked me to do earlier, Unnie?”
The sparring over the past few weeks.
Unlike him, who had a lot to learn from his older sister, it must have been a boring training session for Lin, who was teaching her.
So, Shinjiro promised that in exchange for training with him as much as he wanted, he would grant him one wish, if it was something he could grant.
“You want me to lay the overground?”
Nod-
“Is this your wish?”
“…no.”
“Okay, I see. Then what is your wish?”
I tried to make this one wish come true.
Shinjiro moved quickly as he saw Rin glaring at him as if telling him not to even dream.
As for Lin’s capsule authority, since I received it before, I just need to find the overground and download it.
‘But why over ground?’
For someone who had focused solely on training for the past few weeks, it was strange that Lin was suddenly interested in Overground.
Of course, it wasn’t something he cared about right away.
‘Wait a minute!’
Black girl!
And those guys who chewed me out over one defeat!
Also… Tsukido, who has been showing off his peak form recently!
‘And then…’
Lee Do-hyeok… is not that, and Quabna… is not that.
‘Hmm. I guess I’ll be satisfied with Tsuki.’
For now, I’ll be satisfied with becoming the best in the Japanese fighting game world!
At that moment, Shinjiro was thinking like that.
“What is your wish…”
Lin’s mouth opened.
“… Huh?”
Shinjiro, panic!
Just Shinjiro of the Japanese fighting game world.
Join the squad of Japan’s best swordsman (female)!
