The Villainess VTuber Tears People Apart

1st Round End. Choi Changyoung’s Team Defeated.

After Choi Changyoung fell, with a 6:5 disparity in numbers, Choi Changyoung’s team lost the skirmish.

“…What was that?”

But regardless of what happened, Choi Changyoung just tilted his head in confusion.

He still couldn’t understand what had happened that caused that Dark Knight to appear from the sky.

Fortunately, Choi Changyoung’s curiosity would soon be resolved.

【Round 1 Highlights】

The highlight video that plays at the end of each round.

Naturally, the Dark Knight without his armor appeared in the video.

The Dark Knight swiftly took down the scout zombie, then scaled the cave wall in an instant, reaching the ceiling.

-?

-??

-Was that even possible???

-What is that?

-Is it a bug???

Viewers expressed their confusion.

But Choi Changyoung had nothing to say about it. He felt the same as the viewers.

-Kwagagaga!!!

A loud noise was heard in the video.

When they checked what had happened, a wall made of bones was rising at an angle from the ceiling.

“…Uh, isn’t that the Dark Knight’s wall skill?”

The Dark Knight’s 2nd skill, .

The Dark Knight, despite being a tank character, doesn’t have anything you could really call a crowd control (CC) ability.

The closest thing is the 1st skill, , which is somewhat CC-like, but compared to other tank characters’ CCs, its performance is a level below.

Instead, the Dark Knight had a unique feature of being able to create ‘walls.’

In other words, was a skill that was practically the Dark Knight’s trademark.

“Usually, it’s used to split the enemy’s formation or block their retreat… Isn’t that right?”

-Yeah, that’s correct.

-I’ve never seen it used like this before.

-Can you even do that??

-Who the hell uses the wall like that? LOL

-Theoretically, as long as there’s enough surface area, it can be set up anywhere…

While the viewers were bewildered, Laura climbed onto the .

Then she deliberately swung her sword to knock down some icicles, and waited on the ceiling.

The moment Choi Changyoung appeared, she launched a surprise attack from above.

-Amazing…

-Because the cave wall is slippery, he created a non-slippery wall on purpose??

-He’s a total pro. LOL

-What a crazy person;;

-Now I understand why he’s undefeated in duels. LOL

-Can anyone even beat that?

“Alright, everyone, listen up. Gate Assault Mode is a best of five, right?”

Choi Changyoung spoke as if to reassure the viewers.

“We lost one round, but now that we’ve seen how that person plays… I’d say it’s not too bad? We just need to be cautious of the ceiling from now on. We’ll win the next round quickly.”

[General] The Commander is getting wrecked LOL

(Highlight)

The Dark Knight sends the Commander flying with a wall. LOL

[Comments]

– The Commander is getting owned. LOL

– ? I watched it but still don’t get it??

ㄴ The Dark Knight set up a wall under the Commander’s feet.

ㄴ Did the wall have an airborne effect???

ㄴ Technically, it’s a knockback effect.

– Hit the wall and got sent flying, then died from fall damage. LOL

– Is this that secondary character smurfing?

ㄴ (Author) Yep, undefeated with a platinum rank in duels.

ㄴ That’s insane. LOL

ㄴ Even that scumbag lost to them.

ㄴ That scumbag loses to everyone.

ㄴ Scumbag… Got beat up again…

– Why is that scumbag getting beaten up even here? LOL

After losing two rounds in a row, the third round began.

Once again, Choi Changyoung was facing off against the Dark Knight.

-Is this that obsession story or whatever they call it?

-This is definitely love..

-Come! This is what we call brotherhood!

-Sob sob…

“Fuuuu…”

Choi Changyoung exhaled deeply.

Losing two rounds in such a ridiculous manner had only fueled his determination.

He wasn’t the type to obsess over victory and defeat, but the fact that it felt like he could win if he tried hard enough was driving him crazy.

As a Necromancer user, Choi Changyoung knew well the match-up against a Dark Knight. Necromancers had a slight advantage.

‘Yes… It’s not a complete advantage, but it’s a slight one.’

Lately, not many people encountered Dark Knights, so few understood this match-up. But Choi Changyoung had been playing since the early days of Labyrinthos’ release, so he knew.

At first glance, it seemed like the Necromancer had a much better chance.

The Dark Knight didn’t have any area-of-effect (AoE) skills.

To be precise, the Dark Knight’s ultimate did fall into the AoE category, but it had the disadvantage of not working on undead.

And it wasn’t like the Dark Knight had any amazing mobility skills either. So it was hard for the Dark Knight to force close combat against a Necromancer.

Despite this, the annoying part was the Dark Knight’s passive skill.

was a wide-area debuff that reduced the stats and movement speed of all entities around the Dark Knight.

‘Normally, makes it take forever to kill a Dark Knight.’

The Necromancer wins through the strength of numbers, not individual power.

Thus, each undead wasn’t that strong, but when the Dark Knight applied a debuff, it made it hard for even a group assault to deal much damage.

Moreover, depending on the Dark Knight’s setup, they could bring abilities like lifesteal or health regeneration, making them particularly tough to take down even with a gang attack.

So, if you beat on the Dark Knight long enough, they would eventually die, but the Necromancer would have to exhaust a lot of resources in the process.

But this time, it was different.

The Dark Knight wasn’t wearing any armor.

“Advance, everyone.”

-Assei, charge!

-Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

-Ack!! Assei! Commence the charge!

-Eliminate the Dark Knight Legion!

Thud, thud, thud.

The undead army marched forward in rhythm.

An undead drummer beat the war drums, and at the same time, the sound of trumpets echoed loudly within the cave.

In the front row, the undead shield bearers raised their shields.

In the second row, undead spearmen positioned their spears forward.

In the rear, undead archers unleashed arrows, forcing the Dark Knight to focus on dodging them.

The number of undead exceeded dozens, nearly reaching a hundred.

In this round, you could say Choi Changyoung had devised a brilliant strategy. He had drawn upon every ounce of his talent to come up with a perfect farming route.

As a result, it seemed like Choi Changyoung had killed more than half of the neutral mobs on the map. It was a feat made possible because the opposing Dark Knight didn’t bother with neutral mob farming.

In any case, he had brought a larger force than ever before.

-It’s like a one-man army. Wow.

-Is there a character that can tank, deal damage, and buff all by themselves?

-How do you even beat that;;

-How can you beat a fully grown Necro~

The Dark Knight, with the undead army in front of him, was slowly retreating.

Without armor, there was no way to push through such a large force. The defense wouldn’t hold up.

And it wasn’t like the Dark Knight had a stealth skill like the Assassin’s , so ignoring the undead army and coming directly was impossible.

Choi Changyoung continued to tighten the encirclement by advancing the undead.

The Dark Knight, who kept moving back, finally reached the cave wall. There was no more room to retreat.

‘This is a win.’

Choi Changyoung was sure of his victory.

Until the Dark Knight uttered a single word.

“.”

The Dark Knight jumped vertically, adjusted his posture, and lightly stepped on the cave wall.

Immediately, rose from the cave wall.

-Kwagagaga!!

A wall of intertwined bones and corpses suddenly appeared, and──the Dark Knight launched like a cannonball.

-Crazy…

-Did he just use the knockback effect of the for mobility???

-He did it to gain propulsion!

-You have to go through the undead army? Impossible! (But it wasn’t impossible?!)

-Who the hell uses the wall like that. LOL (3rd try)

The Dark Knight soared over the heads of countless undead and, before anyone realized, it was right in front of Choi Changyoung.

“No way, what is this…!”

Choi Changyoung couldn’t react immediately. Who would have guessed that the Dark Knight would close such a long distance in this way?

Since the Dark Knight had sent him flying with in the second round, Choi Changyoung had deliberately waited outside its range.

After all, even if the Necromancer used a skill, it wouldn’t reach the Dark Knight. So, his plan was to push with the undead while keeping himself at a safe distance.

As a result, Choi Changyoung hadn’t prepared any skills.

An arm flew off.

“Aaah!!”

Choi Changyoung screamed in pain, but he stretched out his other arm, trying to buy time until the undead soldiers returned.

But he couldn’t even graze the Dark Knight’s collar.

The Dark Knight’s blood-red sword was right in front of his eyes.

Literally right in front of his eyes.

About 1cm away.

-Splat!

Soon, he couldn’t see anything anymore.

He’d been blinded.

-Can’t see anything LOL

-Wow, that’s insane. LOL

-Dark vision (literal)

-So this is why they’re called the “Dark” Knight LOL

He’d been blinded, but he could still see the broadcast chat. That was quite a strange feeling.

This wasn’t something he wanted to learn this way.

With a heavy sigh, Choi Changyoung collapsed.

“Well played. Dark Knight carried.”

Once the game ended, the Paladin who had been spouting curses in the first round was now beaming.

“You’re really good, Dark Knight. Want to duo?”

“Well, I’m off.”

I immediately exited the room.

Not only did I have no intention of duoing with anyone, but more than that, I didn’t like people who did a complete 180 and switched sides the moment things changed.

So I returned to the Adventurer’s Tavern, picked up the menu on the table, and brought up the game results screen.

Even though I left because I didn’t want to stay in the same room as the Paladin, I wanted to take my time reviewing the game results since it was my first Gate Assault Mode.

“For a first match, I guess it went smoothly.”

I mentally replayed my gameplay, and it didn’t seem like there were any glaring mistakes.

But was it perfect? That’s debatable. The fact that the Necromancer kept coming to me played a significant role.

I didn’t expect him to persistently chase after me for three consecutive rounds. Thanks to that, the weakness of the Dark Knight, who lacked detection abilities, was well covered, leading to a relatively easy win.

‘But things won’t always go this well.’

For now, since this was just the placement matches, the MMR shouldn’t be too high.

I anticipate that as my MMR increases, the game will become more of an information warfare. I’ll probably need to expand my character pool later on.

After all, the Dark Knight could get banned.

“Hm?”

While looking at the game results screen, I tilted my head in curiosity.

[Necromancer] VTuber_Choi Changyoung 0K 3D 0A

“So that Necromancer was a VTuber.”

Then this match might have been broadcasted.

With that thought, I closed the game results screen and queued up for another match.
