Episode 174:
Two SS-rank players.
Simple physical stats, not skills.
They clash using only their body stats.
Nevertheless, it was natural that ordinary players would not be aware of it.
At least in order to track their movements, the physical stats of S-rank players were needed, and even the S-rank players were embarrassed by their ridiculous movements.
“Humans… are capable of movement like that?”
“More than the movement… look at that fist. “When you swing it once, the sound is no joke.”
“What about that magic energy wrapped around your body? “I don’t think that’s even a skill?”
“It’s ridiculous….”
“Even the measurement skills don’t work.”
“Monsters…”
I could feel it because they were also S-rank players.
The two of them had already surpassed the highest level of S rank a long time ago.
Even if Michael Gore were here, he wouldn’t be able to measure them.
Even if the battle is that fierce.
“It has tremendous magic resistance….”
“Don’t worry. Fortunately, the recording seems to be going well.”
It wasn’t just S-class measurers who were mobilized for the two people’s sparring.
Any skills related to filming or recording were called out.
This is because I know that among the two people’s skills, there is one that blocks their vision.
at that time.
Kwasik.
Taehyun was thrown out and hit the barrier.
Because a triple shield and magic absorption device were installed behind the barrier, there was no damage to observers.
‘If it were this much of a shock, I would die instantly…’
Gulp.
An S-rank player swallowed dry saliva.
and.
Quang.
Cody Cruz’s fist hit the spot where Taehyun turned his head and avoided it.
It was an attack that would not have resulted in minor injuries if I had not avoided it.
Quang. Quang. Quang.
Cody Cruz’s fist came down after Taehyun, who was dodging.
The difference was so close that even those watching were shocked.
Wow.
Cody Cruz’s body was pushed back by Taehyun’s surprise kick.
and.
This time, Taehyun narrowed the distance.
Ancient Chinese martial arts.
Equation 1. Baldness.
Quang.
Cody Cruz easily defended Taehyun’s fist.
Equation 2. Village view.
Quang.
3rd meal. Cheokgyeong
Kwaang.
Equation 4. fairyland.
Kwaaang.
“….”
From Seon-gyeong, I felt something in my hand.
Taehyun continued his next attack without stopping.
Equation 5. Penetroscope.
Quang.
Grumbling.
Even though he guarded perfectly, Cody Cruz’s body was pushed back.
And last.
6th meal. Shin Hwa-kyung.
Attacks coming from all directions without stopping.
The moment when Taehyun’s body seemed to disappear for a moment.
Ugh.
“Ugh…”
Cody Cruz groaned at the last blow.
The magical energy surrounding his body was visibly shaking.
This meant that Taehyun’s attack was significant.
‘It’s an ancient martial art… When did you practice it?’
Cody Cruz was also not unaware of the existence of ancient martial arts.
But when you estimate Taehyun’s age.
It was a technique that could never achieve this level of proficiency.
‘What kind of life have you been living?’
Cody Cruz looked at Taehyun.
Twenty.
Some people are too old to find their own career path.
At that age, Kim Tae-hyun reached the level he is now.
‘Are you saying Sarah will also become this kind of monster?’
Sarah Collins, the first SS-rank awakened person in charge of discipline.
Although it had been less than a year since she awakened, she was growing rapidly.
If Sarah Collins is just now at the level of becoming an S-rank player.
Taehyun is someone who has achieved countless growth in one year.
He was a player who achieved achievements equal to his own in just one year.
‘It’s a monster that’s growing.’
“Wow~ I guess the world’s strongest is different. “For other people, this is enough.”
It was an obvious provocation.
Nevertheless.
It was a feeling that I wouldn’t have felt if the person I was dealing with wasn’t Taehyun.
Excited.
Cody Cruz’s heart pounded once again.
“As expected, my intuition was correct.”
“Are you sure you’ve decided to do it right now?”
Cody Cruz captured the magic that surrounded his body.
Taehyun was the same.
Up until now, it had been just a simple exploratory battle.
“Taehyun Kim. “Thank you.”
Heat bloomed on Cody Cruz’s face.
Magic power seethed from his body.
Tiring.
[Skill Body Strengthening (S) has been activated.]
[Skill Weapon Implementation (S) has been activated.]
The magical power surrounding his body became even darker.
The same was true for the sword in his hand.
Rather than simply applying magical power, he used a skill.
Taehyun also noticed the change.
‘The main game has begun.’
It was a close battle just from the battle that took place a little while ago.
No, if it weren’t for ancient martial arts, he would definitely have been pushed out.
Surprisingly, Cody Cruz’s physical abilities are amazing.
‘I surpass myself now.’
It wasn’t difficult to see that if I didn’t use the skill from now on, the situation would go downhill.
“That’s amazing. “I never thought you would use such a simple skill.”
“There is nothing more important than the basics.”
It’s not wrong.
In the end, it is for a similar reason that Taehyun does not indiscriminately prey on other skills.
“Take a look. “Your skills.”
“You will regret it.”
Taehyun released the magic he had stored up again.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated. The target is not specified.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Darkness fell in the training room.
Cody Cruz looked around.
Pitch-black darkness.
Taehyun was there looking at him.
“This is the skill I only heard about.”
Group A’s exam in which Taehyun participated as a supervisor.
It wasn’t just measurement experts who were watching.
“It will be different than you thought.”
Dark red magical power wavered from Taehyun’s body.
The darkness began to move as if it were alive.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That’s it. That’s it.
An eerie sound rang out.
My vision became blurry and the air became heavy.
“Kneel down.”
It was just one word.
In that one word.
Kugugugugugung.
“…!!”
A huge force of gravity came into play.
* * *
I knew that Taehyun strengthened gravity.
Skill ‘Knight’s Awesomeness’.
It’s not common to manipulate gravity, but I thought it was a skill that wouldn’t be difficult to resist if it was at the level of national power.
It was at the license award ceremony that my thoughts changed.
‘You’re stronger than before.’
Cody Cruz gave a cool assessment.
A huge force of gravity pressed down on the strengthened body.
Unidentified chains wrapped around the strengthened body.
My strengthened body became stiff as if paralyzed.
The heightened sense of body faded away.
Through my blurred vision, I could see my stats dropping significantly.
on the other way.
Taehyun, who was motionless, felt like a huge mountain.
It’s not like a hallucination.
Cody Cruz realized how many skills are incorporated into this one skill.
‘Is this… possible?’
Even when I saw Ricky Harlis’ horsepower control.
When I first saw Sarah Collins’ skill ‘Terraforming’, it wasn’t this much of a shock.
If it were anyone else, they would have thought that they just unleashed their skills at the same time.
In fact, it is not particularly difficult if it is at the national power level.
But I knew it because it was Cody Cruise.
Or maybe Ricky Harlis already knew.
‘Ricky Harlis. ‘The joke is mischievous.’
Now I think I understand why she came back from Jeju Island in complete disrepair.
This is similar.
‘It’s like a jungle.’
After completing the evaluation, Cody Cruz swung the sword he was holding.
Chaeng.
The chain that was trying to bind him hit the sword and bounced off.
A sword that could tear even an S+ rank monster to pieces in one fell swoop was unable to cut through the chain.
“Why are you so surprised?”
Taehyun’s voice was heard from far away.
It was a sound so quiet that you couldn’t hear it unless you were concentrating.
“If you have any cards, take them out now.”
Excited.
Taehyun’s provocation made my heart pound again.
Tiring.
[Skill Body Strengthening (S) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill weapon implementation (S) has been strengthened. Magic consumption accelerates.]
He swung his sword continuously.
Chae chae chae chaeng.
The chain that bound me like a hook broke.
gravity. paralysis. Domination of the five senses. chain.
He overcame all the limitations and took a step toward Taehyun.
Kuuk.
I concentrated all my strength on that one foot.
and.
Quang.
It rushed forward with the momentum it had taken.
0.5 seconds.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
Taehyun’s appearance was finally visible.
was laughing
“I gave you a chance.”
Chaeng.
Before I knew it, Valhalla was pulled out and struck down Cody Cruz’s sword.
and.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates. Output: 50%]
Kugugugugugung.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The concentration of magical energy surrounding the area became thicker.
That play. That’s it.
Cody Cruz’s expression suddenly hardened.
* * *
“What about the recording camera?”
Vincent Chang, who arrived late, asked with a stern expression.
“It doesn’t work….”
“What are the skills?”
“It’s not working….”
“Are you saying we have no choice but to just sit back and watch like this?”
“Yes… that’s right…”
Vincent Chang’s face distorted at that helpless answer.
Cody Cruz and Taehyun Kim.
Although the license test didn’t go as planned, he thought his choice was right as the two men engaged in close combat.
This is because the unbelievable speed of the battle was properly captured with numerous cameras and skills.
The situation changed when Taehyun used the skill.
It was dark in the training room.
It was a field-type skill that Taehyun was known to possess.
Skills, cameras, players.
Everything I had prepared was useless.
3 minutes like that.
“The cumulative damage of the barrier has reached its limit. “If this continues… the training room will be completely destroyed in one minute…”
the facility manager reported in a trembling voice.
“What happens after that?”
Vincent Chang asked, expecting an answer.
“If this condition continues for more than 5 minutes… there is a 90% chance that the building will collapse.”
“…I ended up doing business at a loss.”
“It must be stopped now.”
Vincent Chang burst into laughter at the facility manager’s words.
“Who can stop that battle?”
Coogugung. Kugugoogung.
So so so so so.
The barrier, which had reached its limit, cracked.
A decision had to be made.
“Sigh… We determine that the current situation is an S-class disaster. Evacuate those in the building.”
“Oh, I understand.”
He knew better than anyone else about the players’ battle of pride.
Association President Vincent Chang belatedly regretted his wrong judgment.
This is because it amounts to giving up the association’s main building in order to give the impression that it is sponsoring the two players.
‘The media will be talking about it.’
The building shook once again.
The highest grade vibration isolation device shook to a comical degree.
This is the moment when he is about to leave the building without any regrets.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The darkness that had descended on the training room disappeared.
What I saw with my own two eyes was an unexpected situation.
“…!!”
“Hey, I…!!”
Vincent Chang, of course.
Everyone who was preparing to evacuate looked surprised.
