Thud—thud, crash!
As the gunfire rang out from the top of Rock Mountain, gray corpses started to tumble down to the ground below.
All of them were from the Human Clan.
Only then could I let out a sigh of relief. If Hwarang had died up there, then this raiding operation would have come to a disastrous end.
Bang!
“Hey, you brat! Are you alive?!”
Sibyric, who had been exchanging bullets with Victor, shouted while hiding behind a rock.
In response to his voice, the gunfire, which had momentarily paused, began to echo again from the top of the mountain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets raining down from above the Golden Wagon pierced through the heads of the enemy Sheriff NPCs.
At the base of the mountain, countless corpses were piling up.
While the number of Sheriffs had greatly dwindled, our number of Raiders had also seen a drastic reduction.
There were 30 remaining Sheriffs, while the number of Raiders—including our party—had dwindled to just 20.
Hwarang was doing an excellent job at sniping and taking down a good number of Sheriffs, but the situation was dire because a priest user hiding behind the wagon was reviving the NPCs.
We had to take that priest out, no matter what.
I licked my lips and stood up from my position.
Bang!
The moment I peeked out, a bullet came flying at me.
I furrowed my brow and immediately crouched back down.
The pressure from the bandages wrapped around my arms and legs was irritating. The sight of the bandages digging into my plump thigh looked quite unsightly.
But there was no choice if I wanted to stop the bleeding.
“Huh.”
A breath of black air escaped my lips, scattering like dust.
If I stayed like this any longer, it would be game over. I had to turn the situation around somehow.
Of course, I was the only one who could do that.
I tightened my grip on the sword. All my skills were on cooldown, but with my overwhelming mobility, I could still try to target the priest.
Of course, getting my body out afterward was another story.
I couldn’t guarantee I could unleash all my Charge skills and then retreat unscathed.
But I had to try.
Even if I died and ended up in prison, as long as Hwarang or Iyap could grab the gold…
I gritted my teeth and got into a stance, like a runner preparing for a race.
The moment my upper body leaned too far forward, I unleashed everything I had.
“Awakening—!”
Boom!
The black lightning falling from the sky was the signal. It was a mercy from the Demon King of Thieves, coming for your necks.
Tremble in fear, Human Clan users.
“Hyah!”
As if a cat was bristling its fur in alarm, I stretched my butt back to assume my stance.
The lightning from above transformed my arms and legs, sprouting enormous demonic wings from my back.
Preparation was complete.
I closed the costume menu and planted my feet on the ground.
Crack!
The boulder I had been standing on crumbled away, and my body shot forward rapidly. Swinging the sword, draped in the form of a black dragon, I sliced through everything that tried to block my path.
Whoosh!
The sensation in my hands was sharp.
With the signal of the sheriff’s head flying into the air, my body slithered like a serpent, weaving between the Sheriffs.
“It’s the Demon King of Thieves!”
“Kill! Take out that crazy girl first!”
“Capture the Milk Boy!”
Everyone was wrong. I wasn’t a milk cow. I wasn’t the Demon King of Thieves either.
I was the terrifying outlaw of the Ruthless Wilderness.
“I’m not the Demon King of Thieves! I am the Demon King of Thieves!”
My first charge had been successful. Every player, except for the NPCs, had their attention fully on me.
In that moment, I spotted something very strange. The priest, who had been hiding behind the wagon, was behaving oddly.
It looked like they were reaching into thin air to manipulate something.
“That bastard—!”
That guy was either streaming or recording a video. That motion was definitely manipulating an invisible action camera.
I sharply veered off the path of my rush. As the long tail of the black dragon wiggled, I accelerated once more.
Boom!
While I was running, I thought. Even though I was charging forward like a madwoman, I was more composed than ever.
I couldn’t give the impression that I was aiming for the priest. Pretending not to pay attention to the priest user, I slashed through everything around me.
After just taking down four sheriffs, the Human Clan party made their move.
“Die!”
Warriors who had been sticking close to the priest user came rushing forward.
Were they trying to provoke me? They were wearing thick cow suits.
Three users charged forward. That meant the area next to the priest user was left open.
In that instant, I made a turn.
“Hyah!”
With a sudden change in direction, the muscles in my legs bulged. At that moment, the bandage wrapped around my thigh burst apart.
Rip—!
I found myself in a straight line with the priest. My speed wouldn’t slow down, and the tip of my sword was aimed squarely at the priest’s heart.
As I was running, our eyes met. For some reason, the priest had a satisfied expression and gave me a thumbs up.
That unsettling gaze was just a bonus.
Swish—!
Without even a thought of trying to dodge, the priest’s neck was sliced clean off. Right after that, I kicked off from the ground once more.
The duration of all my Charge skills had ended. Reluctantly, I had to use Leap Strike to jump up to the high point of Rock Mountain.
Boom!
Now I understood. Every time I used Leap Strike, I realized they could see my underwear from below.
I lowered one hand and held down the back of my skirt as I landed on top of the rock mountain.
It was a perfect landing.
“The priest is dead!”
“You cowardly demon spawn!”
“Ugh!”
A voice filled with hatred erupted from below the mountain.
I only slightly peeked my head out to observe the scene.
The priest who had been continuously reviving the NPCs was dead.
The Sheriffs that had fallen under sniper fire were no longer getting up.
Bang—! Bang!
Hwarang’s sniping continued. How much time had passed like this?
When the number of sheriffs had reduced to about 10, the group of raiders, who had been fighting passively, burst out and initiated their own charge.
That was the signal that the battle was nearing its conclusion.
Sibyric and Victor also emerged from cover, aiming their guns at each other.
Bang! Rat-a-tat-tat!
They were running quickly, dust clouds rising up around them. Sibyric and the raiders, along with Victor and the sheriffs, began to disappear into that dust cloud.
It was the moment that would determine the outcome of the battle. I too swung my sword and jumped into the dust.
“Hyah!”
While the thick dust obscured my vision, I had no trouble identifying the enemy.
Slash and slash again. The bullets flying from the dust cloud were easier to distinguish.
The moment bullets were fired, the surrounding dust scattered first.
Clang! Clang!
The end of the long battle was drawing near.
As the murky dust began to clear, the outcome of the battle was revealed.
Standing were Sibyric and a few Raider NPCs.
The Sheriff NPCs and Human Clan users were all collapsed on the ground.
Victor was also down on the floor, gasping for breath.
“Sibyric…”
“It’s over.”
Sibyric said that and aimed his gun.
His eyes were chillingly cold. Even though we knew each other, there was no hesitation in his actions.
Bang—!
The moment light burst from Sibyric’s hand, Victor’s body fell to the ground.
The Gold Rush had successfully concluded.
“The dawn will not come,”
Sibyric said that as he took Victor’s revolver and slipped it into his holster.
[You have successfully plundered the Gold Rush.]
[Your notoriety spreads widely across this wilderness.]
[From this moment forth, you will be placed under bounty status and will be unable to escape the Ruthless Wilderness region.]
[You will be pursued by Sheriffs and bounty hunters.]
[Your character will remain in that position even if the game is exited.]
[Your position will be marked on the map.]
[Your sentence and fine will be determined according to the gold plundered.]
[Expected sentence – 15 days]
[Expected fine – 20,000 gold]
The moment the battle ended, countless messages popped up before my eyes.
Existing penalties had been layered with new ones.
My brow furrowed. The penalties were harsher than I had anticipated.
“No. Guild Leader… this penalty is…”
“Demon King of Thieves.”
“Ah…”
“Call me the Demon King of Thieves.”
“Mah… Demon King of Thieves… isn’t this penalty a bit much?”
“As long as you don’t get caught.”
I won’t get caught. That was the thought from the very beginning.
Responding to Iyap’s words, I moved toward the Golden Wagon.
The size of the wagon meant it was carrying quite a bit of gold.
I stretched my hand and pulled back the wagon’s canvas.
In that moment, a brilliant light of gold poured out before my eyes.
“Whoa…!”
I was rich now.

The emergence of a new area and new content always sends people’s hearts racing.
The newly added Ruthless Wilderness region was no different.
Furthermore, it was a concept based on the Wild West. It was only natural that every player of Deron would have their attention directed toward it.
[Deron Online Gallery]
[Has anyone completed the wilderness quests?] [2]
[Blood Demon King is considered a has-been lately, thumbs down ㅋㅋㅋ] [1]
[Those Elf bastards are incredibly rude; I would beat them all up if I meet them.]
[That sparrow’s latest news.jpg] [11]
[Where did the guys who said they’d go gold mining vanish? How much did they earn?] [2]
[Isn’t the term Gold Rush a bit naughty? Gold-Russhhhhh~] [5]
[Soft & Chewy Cow dance.gif] [2]
[Hey, the investment cost for this gold mining isn’t a joke, though ㅋㅋㅋ] [2]
It was the first day after the update. It was only natural for all users to be lacking in information.
There was no surprise that no one had information about the newly added Gold Rush.
Due to the considerable investment costs and the uncertainty of making an assured profit, there were no takers.
However, with the Gold Rush that had set out with minimal costs and a small number of people successfully concluding, public opinion took a drastic turn.
[Why isn’t anyone doing Gold Rush? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [22]
(Screenshot using 3,000 gold as investment for Gold Rush)
(Screenshot showing that Gold Rush concluded successfully)
(Screenshot showing 20,000 gold in inventory)
Hahaha, I was scared of the raiders, but all the Sheriff brothers took them out for me ㅋㅋㅋ
Why aren’t you doing it? ㅋㅋㅋ Gold is duplicating!
[Comments]
[What? Is there a gold duplication bug?]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Don’t mess around, I don’t believe it.]
No [Don’t believe it ㅋㅋㅋ I’ll set out again ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Can you legally duplicate gold?]
No [Yeah, it seems like it ㅋㅋㅋ]
No [The required gold is super expensive, but is it 100% successful?]
No [I think this guy just got lucky.]
[How much did you make in one go?]
No [I made 17,000.]
No [One chicken?]
No [About 500 chickens, right?]
[What the hell, why are you even working? ㅋㅋㅋ]
No [Who’s threatening you to work?]
No [I’m going to do that too.]
Those who saw that post thought.
Could I do it too?
If successful, I could hold an enormous amount of gold in my hands.
While the investment was a burden, those who were going to do it would do it.
How long had passed? A new post popped up in the gallery.
[I got robbed by the Demon King of Thieves during Gold Rush] [125]
(Video)
They said they weren’t the Demon King or the Blood Demon King ㅋㅋ it’s the Demon King of Thieves ㅇㅈㄹ ㅋㅋㅋ
Ah damn… I lost all my gold… I hate the Demon King of Thieves…
The video uploaded with the post was just over a minute long.
The moment the video began to play, a girl wearing a red mask was seen running around swinging a sword, close-up on her.
Everyone who watched the video thought the same. Even though the nickname, guild, and title were not visible, and even though her face was covered by a mask, hidden beneath a cowboy hat, her figure and the weapon she used were telling.
This person was definitely Yeo.
[Hyah!]
The user filming the video zoomed in on Yeo. Aiming for her thigh.
The pressure bandage wrapped tightly around her white thigh was pulling it taut.
Because of that, there was a plumpness to her thigh.
At that moment, the other party members of the user filming began to shout.
[It’s the Demon King of Thieves!]
[Kill! Take out that crazy girl first!]
[Capture the Milk Boy!]
The screen shifted again. Yeo, who had her red mask turned upside down, looked quite flustered, then shook her head and shouted.
[I’m not the Demon King of Thieves! I am the Demon King of Thieves!]
Everybody watching the video realized. This girl was up to her antics again. This time, not as a pirate, but as an outlaw in the wilderness. Did she think no one would recognize her just because she covered her face with a mask?
Leaving the viewers’ questions behind, the screen transitioned to the next scene.
As Yeo’s body, which had been sprinting across the ground, began to make a sudden sharp turn, the screen zoomed in, capturing her white thigh.
Rip—!
With the sudden change of direction, her thigh jolted, and the bandage wrapped around it burst.
The video ended there.

No [Was it possible to plunder this?]
No [I looked it up earlier; there is such a system. But the penalties are brutal, so unless you’re a crazy person like the Demon King of Thieves, no one would try it.]
No [ㅋㅋ she’s probably being chased by the players right now ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Isn’t this crossing the line of VR sexual harassment? I bet the media will start scraping through the comments saying that.]
No [For real; these guys seem a bit crazy.]
