How to deal with a crisis
Kim Jin-seong pulled out the knife stuck to his neck. Then he fell down helplessly.
Soon, a familiar notification window appeared before my eyes.
▶ You have defeated the wicked.
▶ Obtained 20 Vis Creama points.
▶ You can acquire the opponent’s skill, ‘Disguise Self-Immortal Art.’
▷ Transformation: When using the skill, a scarecrow replaces the user’s appearance, and the user moves back 1m and becomes ‘invisible’ for 5 seconds. Consumes 100 mana when used.
▶ Would you like to delete the existing skill to acquire the ‘Transformation Alter’ skill?
‘Um… are you okay?’
Jinseong Kim read the description of the disguise and self-immolation skill and nodded with a satisfied face.
It was truly timely that the opportunity to absorb the transformation skill appeared in a situation where people were being chased.
‘The problem is that I don’t have the skill to erase it anymore.’
Just yesterday, I had to delete one skill in order to learn the ‘Shadow Clone’ skill.
In the end, the ‘undaunted fighting spirit’, which was judged to be the least efficient, had to be erased.
‘No matter how you look at it, three skill slots are not enough. ‘Is there any way to increase it further?’
Jinseong Kim postponed deleting the skill for a moment and began to slowly look at the notification window.
After a while, Kim Jin-seong’s eyes widened.
There was a new notification window that I had not been able to check because of the notification window for the disguise and self-immolation technique.
‘This···.’
▶ Vis Crimea points have reached 1,000.
▶ You can increase your skill slot window by using Vis Crimea points.
▶ 1,000 Vis Crimea points are consumed for each skill slot window. Would you like to add it?
‘Yes, this is it!’
Kim Jin-seong cried out in joy.
It was incredible timing.
I was wondering if there were any new features I could use since I had already reached 1,000 points, but the features I really needed were unlocked.
‘Oh, but if I do this, the point becomes 0.’
If you do not have points, you will not be able to use the most important magic energy right away. That’s a bit big.
But don’t worry for a moment.
Jinseong Kim immediately added a skill slot window.
▶ Vis Crimea points have become 0.
▶ One skill slot window has been added.
▶ There are currently 4 skill slot windows, and a total of 3 skills are stored.
‘You can collect Vis Crimea points again from now on.’
You can now easily catch villains and monsters with just the characteristics and skills you have acquired so far. Even without Magi.
In other words, you can collect Vis Crimea points quickly.
However, if the opportunity to learn the art of disguise and self-immolation passes now, you may never come again in your lifetime.
Jinseong Kim added a skill right away, and as a result, the skill slot that had been increased by one was filled again.
Kim Jin-seong, who was briefly appreciating the four skills listed in the slot window, soon cleared all the notification windows in front of him.
‘Now I have a reason to move more diligently.’
If I wanted to quickly collect Vis Crimea points, I didn’t want to waste every minute and second standing around like this.
Jinseong Kim immediately took out a mana potion and poured it into his mouth, refilling the MP he had lost while using the ‘Shadow Hiding’ skill.
Then he started moving to hunt the point.
Kim Jin-seong was no longer ‘prey’.

“Ah, the CEO has arrived.”
“Is the representative here?”
Baekjun, who was entering the monitor room, gestured with his hand to seat the employees who were about to stand up and say hello, as if it was a hassle.
Baekjun walked quickly to his seat and asked Jang Seungwook.
“What is the situation?”
“Okay… “As expected.”
Jang Seung-wook stretched and answered, then stood up.
“The players are being helpless because of the defense’s team play. In particular, damage is severe in District 2. “I guess more than 80% of them are already dead?”
“What about the key figures?”
The three people who are currently considered key figures in Group A of the first round of the preliminary round. Kim Jin-seong, Kang Min-hyuk, and Fade were monitored 24 hours a day.
“I’m fine. “Those three are actually hunting down the defenders.”
“Are there any other players that stood out?”
“I was planning to show you when you come.”
Jang Seung-wook said while displaying two videos saved on the monitor on his desk.
“This is a newly discovered video of a fight between two people, but it hasn’t been broadcast yet because the timing of the live broadcast wasn’t right.”
“Play it.”
Jang Seung-wook pressed the play button.
It was the performance of players who had not received attention until now.
Baekjun, who was watching the video with a cautious expression, nodded.
“It’s okay. For both of them, just edit the cuts and send them out at the appropriate time.”
“I think we can send it now. “There hasn’t been a fight going on anywhere since 10 minutes ago.”
“hmm.”

Jang Seung-wook looked at the PD as if he had been waiting, and the PD, reading his eyes, immediately ordered the video to be broadcast.
Jang Seung-wook watched this for a while, and before picking up his coat to leave work, he quietly spoke to Baek Jun.
“Is the representative’s opinion correct? “I never imagined that two people would actually be rescued.”
“hmm···.”
“But except for those two, everyone else might die. “There are still two hours left until the sun rises.”
“You don’t know that.”
Baekjun continued his answer.
“Now it’s time for the ‘hunters’ to get more and more anxious. “The number of ‘games’ that need to be caught to pass has now been noticeably reduced.”
In the beginning, there were a lot of prey, so the number of defense forces that successfully hunted them was large, but not anymore.
As of an hour ago, the number of times the defense team has met players has decreased noticeably. The remaining two hours will be even more difficult to meet.
“And when you’re in a hurry, you’re bound to make mistakes that you shouldn’t have made.”
Jang Seung-wook, who finished getting ready to leave work while listening to Baek Jun, left one more word.
“On the other hand, you can show unexpected wit, right? “Lack of time is like a ‘crisis’ for the defense forces.”
When Baekjun quietly turned his head and looked at him, Jang Seungwook shrugged his shoulders, said hello, and left the monitor room.
Baekjun turned his head towards the monitor again only after the door was closed.
“…That could be possible.”
I said to myself briefly.
* * *
A deep night in the forest where it is difficult to see even an inch ahead.
In the middle of this place covered in darkness, a small twinkling light was captured by the camera of a drone flying in the sky.
The identity of the light was none other than a flashlight.
It looked like a large number of defense force participants were sitting in a circle around them.
“How many people in total?”
“Eighteen people.”
“great.”
The defender with the number 1-1 written on his shoulder looked at everyone and opened his mouth.
“Since this is a party I organized, I will take on the role of leader. “Dissenting opinion?”
“···.”
“If you don’t have one, listen carefully to what I say.”
1-1 The defense got to the point.
“There is not much time left until the sun rises. As I looked, the sun rose at about 5 a.m. What time is it now?”
“It’s 3:33.”
“There’s an hour and a half left. And almost all of the players we need to catch are dead. “Do you know what I’m talking about?”
“···.”
“It means that even if everyone here comes together and searches for it, it will be difficult to find even one person.”
“What is the conclusion?”
A man tackled me in a dissatisfied voice.
1-1 The defenders were unfazed and drew a conclusion.
“Now is the time to use everything we have. “Only by disclosing all of each person’s hidden characteristics and skills and using them appropriately can we find and capture at least one person within the time limit.”
There was silence at those words.
C Although you can’t see their facial expressions because they are wearing masks, you can see through the movement of their heads that everyone is watching each other.
‘Are you going to reveal all my abilities here?’
‘That’s a bit…’
As if they sensed that most people were thinking negatively, the 1-1 defense team immediately continued to persuade them.
“Let me show you my abilities first. Now, look.”
He placed his palms together and pointed them towards the sky.
At the same time, a huge blob of blue mana was created on the palm, and it quickly began to transform into a familiar shape.
‘leak!’
‘Is it a hawk?’
1-1 A huge blue falcon fluttering on the defender’s palm.
When everyone was looking at that, the 1-1 defender spoke.
“The skill I have is ‘shared vision.’ “I can see everything this hawk sees as it flies at the same time.”
“oh···.”
Some people burst out in exclamation.
Isn’t this a very necessary skill in today’s situation?
“Now, I’ve shown you my hidden abilities, so if you want to join me, please show me your abilities here and now.”
“···!”
“Now…?”
The 1-1 defense group nodded towards one defense group that asked in surprise.
“Only then can we plan and move properly. “If you don’t want to make it public, please leave now.”
“···.”
“If no one discloses it, I will leave here. Please select. “I’ll give you one minute.”
After speaking decisively, 1-1 looked back at everyone with his arms crossed.
Afterwards, there was silence around the flashlight.
As 10, 20, and 30 seconds passed, everyone just stared and no one wanted to step forward.
That was when the 1-1 defender, who was watching, reached out to grab the bag that had been placed on the floor.
“no way! “I can’t help it.”
One of the defenders shouted as if he couldn’t bear it anymore and picked up a tree branch that was rolling on the ground.
Then, he held out his other palm and released mana,
Damn it.
With the sound of a sudden freeze, the tree branches turned the color of blue ice.
In that state, the defenders lightly hit the tree branch towards the flashlight.
Everyone could see the frozen tree branch breaking with a snapping sound.
“It’s a cooling skill. It can freeze one target. If the opponent is weak, you can freeze them completely, but in the opposite case, you will probably just end up holding them back for a moment.”
“That is enough. thank you.”
The 1-1 defenders said their thanks and looked back at the rest.
“Anyone else joining us?”
At those words, about three people seemed to raise their hands this time.
“I go first…”
“Oh, go first.”
At that sight, the 1-1 defense team was inwardly delighted.
‘good. The atmosphere has passed.’
In situations like this, the first button is important.
Since there is someone who takes the initiative, others who were watching can easily follow suit.
‘If we do this, at least ten people will be able to move together.’
It was as he expected.
All 18 people sitting around the flashlight revealed their abilities.
“Thank you all for your cooperation. Then, let’s quickly come up with a strategy on how to use the skills in battle and then move on.”
Soon, the 18 people began holding meetings with their heads together.
* * *
[Ah, the team centered on the defense force of District 1, No. 1 has finally started to move! This is the largest party with a whopping 18 people!]
[Hey…! This is my first time seeing something like this. There have been many times when such a large number of people have come together, but this is the first time that a team has planned a strategy while sharing each other’s abilities.]
[As I speak, the 1-1 defenders have launched their mana-generated falcons high into the sky!]
As the commentary team relayed, the screen showed a blue hawk circling in the air and flying toward the mountain at high speed.
Baekjun, who was watching the scene, soon burst into laughter.
‘Jang Seung-wook’s opinion was right this time.’
I never would have thought that such a large number of people would all share hidden characteristics and abilities.
This can only be seen as the ‘unexpected power of unity’ created in a ‘crisis’ moment with little time left.
‘Anyway, it would be difficult if they were caught by that team, no matter how many core members they were.’
The situation is that they have already concluded a meeting on how to deal with the enemy and are systematically searching for the enemy.
Obviously, the order of skills to be used when encountering an enemy must have been planned in advance.
‘And an hour is more than enough to catch up with one person.’
Baekjun looked at the monitors while thinking to himself.
The mana hawk fired by the 1-1 defenders was flying exactly in the direction of Kim Jin-seong and Kang Min-hyuk.
