“…I didn’t say that.”
I said it would be fun to compete with the pro, not that they were just messing around.
Even so, it’s not something I should say, especially since I haven’t properly faced them yet.
‘I didn’t even think about saying that in the first place.’
[Ugh]
[Ugh]
[Controversy, ignoring… adding to the controversy…]
[Yena is pro level too, so considering she won, it might not be wrong LOL]
[If it’s someone like Lily, she can handle a pro with one hand, haha]
[Is the Grand General ready for this siege war?]
[If Lily doesn’t do it, who will be the Grand General? LOL]
[Yena sealed most of her items and skills, so who knows]
[Don’t underestimate the land of Yena!]
However, once they caught a scent, the viewers excitedly twisted my words.
I accepted the familiar yet unfamiliar spectacle and moved on.
It had been like this before, and it was the same with Yena; the so-called ‘evil’ viewers say it’s better not to give them any bait.
[The Observer donated 100,000 won.]
─Honestly, if Lily’s balance is up to par, won’t she win everything? LOL
“Thank you, Observer, for the 100,000 won. Until I compete with them, it’s uncertain whether I will win or they will.”
[So you see the possibility, huh?]
[For real, LOL]
[It’s not impossible.]
[For someone like Lily, it’s definitely a 10!]
[Why does Lily look so tempting?]
└ YasuWantToDoIt has been forcibly removed.
[?]
[Hahaha]
[No manager, she’s like a sword]
“Oh, I was going to mention that.”
[Eh]
[What?]
[Eh]
[No worries]
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the hunting grounds of the new continent.
I took out my spear and stared quietly into the serene lake.
The eerie silence without any sound oddly put me on edge.
“I’ve put my email address and format on the banner. If anyone wants to be a manager or editor, please contact me. For editors, it might help a bit if you edit my video briefly and send it over?”
I wrote down the details with Yena’s help.
Well, she said she’d help choose too…
But for now, let me pick first, and if I’m really stuck, I’ll ask then.
It’s better for me to choose since I’m the one who’ll work with them than to leave it to someone else.
[Oh]
[Did you finally pick?]
[Oh]
[I’m applying right away, LOL]
[Haha, I only have time to spare.]
[So many people uploading Lily videos on NewTube, let’s hire one of them LOL]
[There are quite a few who pick almost at a formal level.]
[Ten hours a day is totally possible.]
[Ten hours? Excluding sleeping time, it’s totally doable, LOL]
“Can? Everything’s possible except for sleeping, hahaha!”
“If they want, they’ll throw some support my way. Once the formal NewTube is up and running, those reckless users will probably decrease a bit.”
“Not exactly by choice, but forced.”
“Anyway, I just sent out an ultimatum, or whatever you want to call it.”
“I don’t want to deal with the situation where all the videos get taken down for no reason.”
“‘Support me!’”
“[?]”
“[d-d]”
“[Lily) Take down all the videos. Otherwise, you’ll see the wrath of copyright law.]”
“[hahahahahahaha]”
“[Lily’s scary d-d]”
“[ahh, if you don’t want to get deleted, better support me, hahaha]”
“[Decreasing (forced)]”
“[gasp]”
“Anyway, that aside…”
“I draw closer to the lake.”
“Suddenly, the previously calm surface of the lake ripples, and something massive begins to rise from the water.”
“Whoosh! As the water splashed around, I stumbled back.”
“What appeared before my eyes was a flower monster surrounded by enormous blue-green leaves.”
“A small face of pale pink with blue eyes rolling around, and its size was comparable to Kroctus.”
“There were a total of eight such monsters.”
“[Lotus monster]”
“[Looks like level 40 or higher]”
“[Gross]”
“[Cute though]”
“The rolling eyes of the monsters turn towards me. They charge at me, swinging their lotus leaves.”
“I straighten my spear.”
“Hunting. Let’s begin.”
“The green spear pierced through the lotus leaves.”
■
“Deoen’s level isn’t rising much.”
“With the maximum level capped at 100, most users stop at level 80, and even the highest rankers only hover around levels 80 to 90.”
“Not a single person has surpassed level 90.”
“‘The experience points required starting from level 80 are in the billions. Basically, after level 90, it’s impossible even if you take down five World Bosses. I haven’t leveled up from 85 in months.’”
“Yena said with an awkward smile.”
“Anyway, leveling up is a nightmare difficulty, meaning level 80 is essentially the maximum a normal user can achieve.”
– Krooooh!
“The lotus leaves spin wildly as they charge at me.”
“Their attacks seem devoid of any intelligent movements or tactical elements, reminding me of the wild boars from the tutorial.”
“I dodged the charge of the first lotus monster that reached me and struck three times with my spear.”
“The leaves, which looked quite sturdy, tore apart like paper.”
The lotus monster inflated its body with the intention of completely enveloping my own, but soon after, its head was pierced by a subsequent attack, ending its life.
They’re bleeding green blood too.
-…!
-…Grrr…
The other lotus monsters suddenly halt their charge.
The ones in the front urgently retreat with the other lotus monsters.
‘What are they trying to do?’
[It seems like it’s trying to use blade leaves]
[Blade leaves]
[Here they come]
[Bladeleafbladeleafbladeleafbladeleafbladeleafbladeleaf]
[Does Lily know about blade leaves?]
Blade petals fly from the inflated monsters.
And it’s not just one, but dozens.
“Whoa.”
I don’t think I can block them all.
I stepped back while deflecting the petals’ trajectories with my spear.
But whether it’s some kind of regeneration or what, the lotus petals poured endlessly.
The seven lotus monsters theoretically have a total of eight petals, so it shouldn’t exceed a maximum of 56.
[Lily Lily has donated 10,000 won.]
─Let’s use Spear Tornado
[123123 has donated 10,000 won.]
─Let’s go with Soul Sword
[This is a donation from Yiyiyiyi of 10,000 won.]

Today seems a bit promising, and I left the donations open, so they’re flooding in like crazy.
I’ll have to turn off the donations for a while after clearing them all.
Instead of responding to the donations, I kept deflecting or dodging the petals, silently twisting my spear.
A small amount of mana seeped into the twisted spear, ready to pierce the enemy with a roar.
‘Roar of the spear.’
The roar extending from my hand tore through the flying petals and swept away half of the monster.
■
Currently, my level is 32.
Before coming to this new continent, I was in my early 20s, but after becoming a lawless person in the empire and encountering Nerindia, my level has risen quite a bit.
As a result, my physical abilities and mana have slightly increased, and I can now use the spear’s roar at around 20%, which was previously only about 10%.
The strain on my body has lessened significantly.
[Wow]
[???]
[It’s just deleting the lotus]
[Crazy, lol]
[The game is unplayable, lol]
[Those lotus petals are no match for Soul Sword, haha]
[Try dodging the spear of the heart if you can, lol]
[How on earth do you use that?]
[There’s no effect, so I can’t dodge, dammit]
[No effects, so I couldn’t dodge, damn it.]
Everything in the trajectory of the spear was cleared away.
Only four lotus monsters remained.
Even they were in such a serious state that there were no monsters with four or more lotus petals left.
[Lily’s First Sword Saint donated 100,000 won.]
─Is this… a catch technique?
A cheerful BGM echoed over the lake cloaked in silence.
The faces of the lotus monsters grew even more menacing.
“It is a catch technique, but… anyway, thank you to Lily’s First Sword Saint for the 100,000 won. Thank you to everyone who donated as well. I’ll be turning off donations for a bit.”
I switched the donations off for a moment.
If I receive any more, I might just end up thanking everyone instead of actually hunting properly.
I came here to hunt, not to give thanks.
[A]
[Ah]
[Catch technique, haha]
[But if this catch technique is that strong, how strong is the real one?]
[I want to use catch techniques too]
[For real, the real techniques must split mountains and stuff, right? Haha]
[Hahahahahahahaha]
[See with your mind’s eye…]
[Open the donation door]
[Oh, I was in charging mode]
Anyway, even after using about 15% of the catch technique (for real), my body was holding up pretty well.
At this level, I could use it multiple times at a lower output without any issues.
And my level just happened to rise to 33.
-Kroo…
-Kroo? Kr
-Kroo kroo.
The lotus monsters suddenly shared opinions and then abruptly pulled back, splashing into the lake.
The lake fell silent in an instant.
It wasn’t just Lily who was startled by their sudden escape.
[?]
[?]
[Are they running away?]
[Give me experience points before you go!!]
[Chase them into the lake, let’s go]
[Lily, wet in the water… wow]
[Do the lotus monsters usually flee?]
I approached further into the lake.
Inside the murky water, things were undetectable by the eyes of ordinary humans, but as a celestial race, I could see.
‘Something’s there.’
I pulled out a long sword and a turtle sword from my inventory.
After enhancing the sword saint with wind attributes, I threw it into the depths of the lake with all my might.
Splash. The sound of something solid hitting echoed as the entire lake shook.
