chapter 125 sophie command
A Laughter That Chilled the Soul
The mad laughter echoed through the clearing, bouncing off the towering trees like a ghostly wail. It didn't belong to Frost Eye. It was something else entirely—wild, gleeful, and unhinged.
Sophie's smirk vanished.
> Sophie (thinking, eyes narrowing): "That's not Frost Eye…"
The realization struck her like a hammer to the chest.
> Sophie (thinking, heart pounding): "No… no, no, NO! We didn't find Frost Eye… We walked straight into K's path!"
The whispers among the 800 players grew urgent, creeping with unease.
> Random Player 1 (whispering, panicked): "Wait… that's not Frost Eye."
Random Player 2 (stiffening): "That's… K?! Why is he here?"
The laughter didn't stop. It only grew louder, stronger, and more unhinged.
Then, a shadow moved in the center of the encirclement.
A lone figure.
K.

K's Madness Unleashed
Standing right in the middle of the clearing, K grinned.
His ragged cloak fluttered in the morning breeze, his twin daggers glinting in the sunlight. His entire body shook as he continued to laugh—his chest rising and falling erratically like he couldn't contain his excitement.
> K (laughing, voice dripping with madness): "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Dark Solution members stiffened.
Their hands gripped their weapons tighter.
Their eyes darted around, searching for exits.
There were none.
They had sealed themselves in.
And K?
He couldn't be happier.
His wild grin widened, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.
> K (grinning, voice filled with excitement): "Ohhh… this is the best day of my life. You all came straight to me!"
His fingers twitched over the hilts of his daggers. His breathing was uneven, ragged—thrumming with excitement.
> K (whispering to himself, trembling with joy): "This… this is paradise."
He had spent weeks hunting them, stalking them, taking them apart piece by piece.
But this?
> K (grinning wider, voice ecstatic): "An entire army of Dark Solution members… right in front of me?"

Dark Solution's Fear Takes Hold
> Random Player 3 (whispering, panic setting in): "This… this is bad."
Random Player 4 (sweating): "Why is he alone? He wouldn't do this unless—"
Random Player 5: "This has to be a trick!"
Sophie snapped herself out of her shock.
She refused to let fear spread.
She refused to let this lunatic take control.
She forced herself to think fast.
Sophie's Rapid Assessment
1. K had no backup—at least, none that they could see. That meant he planned something solo.
2. His presence here was intentional. He was waiting for them. This was a trap.
3. They had numbers. Even if K was dangerous, 800 players should be enough to overwhelm him.
4. He was a rogue. That meant one thing: traps, evasion, and assassination tactics.
> Sophie (gritting her teeth, thinking fast): "No hesitation. No fear. If we panic, he wins. He thrives on chaos… I won't let him have it."
She acted immediately.
> Sophie (barking orders): "SHIELDS TO THE FRONT! RANGED TO THE BACK! NO ONE MOVES ALONE! KILL HIM NOW!"
The battle command rang out.
And just like that—Dark Solution charged.

The Beast Moves – K's Counterattack
The first wave of players rushed forward, weapons raised high.
K tilted his head, still grinning.
Then—
He vanished.
A shadow flickered, and before anyone could react, he appeared behind the first attacker.
> SHHK!
A dagger flashed.
A gurgling scream.
One of Dark Solution's front-line warriors collapsed, throat slashed open.
The others froze.
> Random Player 6 (horrified): "Wh-what—?!"
Before they could even process it, K moved again.
His footwork was flawless. His movements blurred.
By the time the second player turned to attack, a dagger had already slipped between his ribs.
> SHHK!
Another body crumpled to the ground.
> K (grinning, whispering to himself): "Two…"
The rest of the army hesitated.
This wasn't a normal fight.
> Random Player 7 (shaking, voice cracking): "He's too fast—!"
Sophie's anger boiled over.
> Sophie (snarling): "NO PANIC! FORM UP! TRAP HIM!"

The Explosion That Shattered the Battlefield
Just as Sophie's command stabilized the formation—
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted from the right flank.
Flames roared into the sky, engulfing dozens of players.
> Players (screaming): "WHAT THE HELL?!"
> Random Player 8 (burning, shrieking): "IT'S A TRAP! HE SET UP EXPLOSIVES!"
K's chilling laugh echoed through the chaos.
> K (mocking, grinning wildly): "Oh nooo… did I forget to mention the gifts I left behind?"
The flames reflected in his eyes, making them look even more unhinged.
> Sophie (gritting her teeth, scanning the battlefield): "Damn it! He placed traps ahead of time… How did he predict we'd come here?!"
Then—
BOOM!
Another explosion.
This time, the ground itself caved in.
A massive pitfall trap swallowed an entire group of front-line warriors, sending them plummeting into spikes.
> Random Player 9 (screaming as they fell): "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
> K (tilting his head, watching them disappear): "Oops. Looks like someone forgot to watch their step."
The 800-player army was falling apart.
K wasn't just fighting them.
He was toying with them.
And he wasn't even done.

Sophie's Desperate Command – The Full Assault
Sophie clenched her fists.
> Sophie (gritting her teeth, eyes blazing): "ENOUGH! DON'T LET HIM CONTROL THE PACE! ARCHERS, FIRE EVERYTHING! MAGES, BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND!"
Fireballs and arrows rained toward K's position.
The entire clearing exploded into chaos.
But K?
He simply vanished again.
And as he disappeared into the smoke and flames, his laughter echoed once more.
> K (laughing, voice teasing): "You're gonna have to try harder than that…"
And just like that—the true massacre had begun.
