Chapter 46
[Story Mode]
The Yokai General, Viktro.
Once one of the five generals of the Yokai King,
a powerful figure who fought in the Yokai War.
Though he lost his lord
and the elite troops of the Yokai army followed the great Yokai
into the afterlife,
he still commands nearly three hundred Yokai
and a thousand and five hundred half-Yokai under his rule.
[Sorry, we lost the prince.]
[The team with the ticket has been hunted down again.]
[Without support from a yokai-based army, we cannot capture the prince’s team.]
It was understandable that the half-Yokai were whining.
After all, they were fools who could not become true Yokai.
[The prince has a remarkable warrior.]
[Our entire team, except for me, has been wiped out.]
[A regular Yokai is insufficient. We need elite support.]
The Yokai understood their defeat.
After the death of the Yokai King,
there had been a long period of peace.
[The number of casualties among the elite soldiers is rising rapidly.]
[At this rate, we’ll lack the forces to counter the Queen’s faction.]@@@@
But these weren’t elite soldiers.
They were like extensions of the Yokai General’s own limbs.
The defeat of the elite forces
was equivalent to his own defeat.
Such disgrace
was something the Yokai General was not willing to accept easily.
[Deploy the best elite soldiers.]
[Don’t let them enter the arena alive.]
[Having one of the two rulers of the palace as an enemy.]
[Let me show the prince how foolish that act truly was!]
The Yokai General spewed his rage.
As his cry echoed, the scene returned to its original state.

Ha Eun-eung understood.
This meant an unbearable increase in difficulty—
a warning the system had given her.
Beeeeeeep!
Beeeeeeep!
It’s going to be released after the broadcast ends, anyway.
But the broadcast never ends.
What is this? Is it a bug? Haha.
How is she staying awake for 60 hours without coffee, cigarettes, or energy drinks? Even when I was studying for exams, I never stayed awake this long.
Household power.
Usually, staying up all night would cause brain deterioration, memory loss, and motor skills to plummet, but the silent swordswoman shows none of that.
No moderation, this bastard.
Haha.
How come the broadcast time is either 20 minutes or 60 hours?
Fact: 60 hours is still increasing in real-time.
The variance is insane, really. Haha.
I told them to extend the broadcast time, but it’s going down in flames. No one can match this continuous broadcast.
A woman without a middle.
Eom Gil-dong felt considerable pressure.
The curiosity for the silent swordswoman was enormous,
and so were the expectations for the chase mode.
‘Even if I memorize the path through early learning, her physical abilities that instantly slice through enemies are the real problem.’
While the earlier versions of the “silent swordswoman chase mode”
involved naval battles with demon-spirits,
where balance, parrying, and critical hits were key competitive elements,
the Ver 1.2 and Ver 1.4 updates required all kinds of physical and mental abilities
to successfully follow the silent swordswoman.
It was practically a total anthology,
requiring every skill the silent swordswoman had shown up until now.
‘She’s incredible, truly.’
You can be strong, but there’s a limit.
By now, Eom Gil-dong had stopped feeling jealousy.
While physical masters were often famous for one outstanding skill—speed, strength, martial arts—
the silent swordswoman had no weaknesses in any parameter.
Her swordsmanship was overwhelming,
but the techniques that supported it were equally impressive,
showing immense talent that made those who tried to catch up realize a sad proverb:
If a little bird tries to follow a crane, its legs will break.
“Wow, I thought all the highlights had already come out, but should I include that too?”
Even her every moment was a highlight,
so when creating simulations while watching her broadcast,
the work seemed endless.
For the 60 hours of broadcasting,
whenever she took a break,
Eom Gil-dong was forced to update his content after each new highlight,
a never-ending labor of frustration.
Damn, how many of them are there?
Half-Yokai and Yokai are swarming everywhere.
Can’t they enter the arena?
If the ticket hunt is successful, the difficulty of entering the arena increases.
This is bad. Now there’s no chance for stealth action or assassination.
While broadcasting for 60 hours,
Ha Eun-eung had produced so many highlights,
and it was now time for her to hit her limits.
She pretended to stand firm, but her body had already reached its threshold.
Even Eom Gil-dong couldn’t deny the viewers’ comments.
‘Well, at least in a way, it’s fortunate. I can finish my three-day extended work now.’
The entire Yokai capital had been turned upside down by the forces of the Yokai General.
Would she give up and end the broadcast?
Charge ahead gloriously to her end?
Or would she carve a new path for her conquest?
Speculation was rife,
and even Eom Gil-dong tried to guess,
but as the silent swordswoman took action,
viewers from all over gasped in disbelief,
the main viewers and Eom Gil-dong’s 3500 followers alike.
“Th-this insane woman!”
Damn, she shredded it.
The last of the 13 men of this era, for real.
Wow, even if she’s going down, she’s doing it in style.
The silent swordswoman’s decision was simple.
Charging straight ahead toward the arena,
she cleaved through every enemy in her path.
It was an
