Chapter 63 The Battle of the Bamboo Spear (11)
Arcadia’s official community site, Arfandia.
People connected to Arfandia were busy watching the progress of the last bamboo spear battle being streamed in real time.
-Who will win?
-Jukchang! Bamboo spear!
-Is Casillas going to win first place? It wasn’t really a game of fighting skills…..
-I don’t think the other rankers were that easy, but, well…..
As soon as the match started, the chatting window became hot as they predicted who would be the final winner. However, after the process of the first dropout was broadcast vividly through streaming. The chats that came up so quickly that it was hard to read with the naked eye stopped in an instant, as if they had promised.
-…?
-What is that just now?
A battle that took place in a short period of time, less than one minute. Those who watched the battle vividly started chatting explosively as if they couldn’t believe it.
-what! that! does that make sense?
– Crazy did you just see it? As for the weapons used, a rapier, a great sword, a long sword, a heavy shield, a dagger, a hammer… How many are there?
-What’s your skill? I used at least 14 combat skills alone!
– Who is that? Are you a first-time user?
It was a one-sided assault that showed unrealistic body movements and exploded all kinds of skills and linked attacks at once in harmony like flowing water. People were astonished at his tremendous skill in quickly eliminating opponent users without giving them a chance to counterattack. And while everyone was wondering about his existence, a message log popped up all over the screen.
[Player ‘Dex’ won the battle with player ‘Pale Flavored Beer’.]
-Dex? that dex?
-really….? It’s not Gura, is it real Dex?
Users who play Arcadia even while purchasing expensive connectors. Most of them had enjoyed playing various types of games in the past, so they were well aware of the status of the name ‘dex’.
One person invincible.
hermit master.
Possessing monstrous physicality and devilish strategy.
When his nickname was mentioned as a player in this Jukchang Daejeon, the chat room heated up incomparably to the previous atmosphere.
-It’s Dex! Dex is back!
– Hey hey! I believed! There’s no way that game junkie could just pass by virtual reality!
-and! oh my god! brother! I’m a real big fan!
– I shout today too! Dexmen~~!!!
-hey! Hit them all! Dex is the winner for sure!
Chats explode in an instant. When too much content started pouring in at once, people were so enthusiastic that it reached a saturation point where the texts were quickly buried upwards without having time to read.
An existence hidden behind a veil that has the level to fool pro gamers, but never reveals its identity. A terrible game addiction, and at the same time, a rare game genius Dex from heaven.
It’s his splendid return.

[Player ‘Dex’ won the battle against player ‘Purple is delicious’.]
Chew.
“Ha… This is really annoying.”
A notification sound that sounds every time one person is eliminated and a text window floating in the sky. Although this was unintentional, Dex licked his lips as if regretting the fact that his nickname was being exposed to players in Arcadia.
“Is it because there are only 100 left? Every time you drop out, you let me know too much.”
In the case of the previous 1st or 2nd rounds, there was no special guidance, so it was possible to play freely, but now it was difficult to be aware that there are people watching you every moment.
“Well… that won’t change anything, though.”
He is playing a hidden class called Wanderers in a troubled world.
However, Jae-young, who draws on the power of the heavens through Kangshin, was showing only his appearance as an all-weapon master.
“Hehe… Master, you are different from the outside, aren’t you?”
“After all, it was not an ordinary existence.”
“huh? suddenly?”
Tan and L, who kept watching his battle from behind, spat out their impressions. Hearing this, Jaeyoung tilted his head at the sudden praise of the two.
“Hey, there are only a handful of people like you who can fight well even among my extremely long list of evil students. And you haven’t even brought out your full potential right now, have you?”
“As well as his fighting ability and senses… what the hell is the magic control that perfectly handles the king of all diseases? It is impossible for even Calypso, the creator of King of All Byeongji, to change the shape every moment of battle like that.”
Even the being who becomes the owner of the power is astonished and says, ‘What is that? Jaeyoung’s ability to bring efficiency to an absurd level to the point of shouting, “That’s my strength?” Upon seeing this, Tan and El reevaluated the beings they had been following.
“what? Don’t say anything strange.”
However, the person concerned went over without a big deal with a blunt voice as if he was embarrassed.
[Player ‘Kassias’ has won the battle against player ‘Anti-Taeje’.] [Player ‘Kasiyas’ has won the battle against player ‘Shiba Inu Shiba’.]
[Player ‘Kisayas’ has won the battle.
The battle with the player ‘Moonlight Warrior’ has been won.] A
notification sound and message window popped up while Jaeyoung was hanging out for a while. Now, when the remaining survivors of the Jukchang Daejeon reached 10, the goblin who was watching the tournament in the sky of Fantastic Island exclaimed in an excited voice.
[It’s not long before the winner of this bamboo spear battle is finally decided! Of the remaining 10 survivors, who will be the final victor? Kiki Kiki Kiki.]
Along with those words, a video appears filling up the sky of the island. In the video full of the 10 survivors, Jaeyoung smiled deeply when he saw Casillas, the target he had targeted in the third round.
“I feel like I’ve been warming up to this extent… Shall we start the main game soon?”
Calypso’s power is now perfectly ripe. Jaeyoung slowly walked towards the center of the island, connecting and designing countless combos that came to his mind.
Looking forward to a bout full of memories with past relationships.
* * *
Jang Tae-young, the team leader who oversaw and was responsible for everything in this Jukchang Daejeon.
He screamed while watching in real-time the action of ‘Dex’, the subject of intensive surveillance, who had been making his mind uneasy since the first playthrough.
“what! What the hell is that bastard!”
Quaang bang bang bang.
Jang Tae-young, the team leader, was overcome with anger. He let out a grotesque scream with a maddening cry and hit the extension desk violently.
“What on earth is your job to be able to play such nonsense!”
Ability to nullify physical damage shown in the first round. And the only level of item production ability that completely throws away the balance.
Toxicity resistance ability to take a nap while freely inhaling the poison gas sprayed on the second playthrough like oxygen.
Just looking at this, I wondered how he got his job and how he managed to do it, so I wondered if that was possible.
“I… Chief.”
“what?!”
Team leader Jang Tae-young turned his head to the subordinate who called him. The subordinate stuttered, shrinking from the madness and murderous intent that radiated from his eyes.
“That’s… it seems that you have confirmed that user’s job.”
“what? really?”
Team leader Jang Tae-young ran to those words and snatched the report he was holding. He looked over the contents of the report step by step and murmured.
“Hidden Class All Weapon Master?”
“Yeah….. After checking the fighting method in the video, it seems to be playing very similar to the user of the topic, ‘Kasiyas’, so I dug a little more.”
Unlike ‘DEX’, where access to information is strictly restricted, ‘Kashiyas’ provides free access. The subordinate found a very important clue in the process of checking his job and digging deeper into the data.
“It is very similar to the skills of ‘All Weapon Master’, a high-level hidden class that can only be acquired by users with the ‘fighter’ job that Casillas is playing.”
The all-weapon master’s special skill.
Using the King of All Byeongji, he is fighting with a weapon that changes freely at every moment. And it didn’t take long for that doubt to turn into certainty thanks to the tremendous sense of battle shown during the battle and the insane control that required extreme physicality.
“Wait a minute, then what were the images you showed before that?”
“That… I don’t know.”
A dex that shows a fighting style very similar to the hidden class called All Weapon Master. Team leader Jang Tae-young also felt similar feelings to the confidence felt by his subordinates while checking his play in real time, but the play he showed in the 1st and 2nd rounds was still not explained.
“First of all, let’s say that bastard is the hidden class called the all weapon master… That means that he is the hidden class that is the top job for Casillas, our leading candidate for the championship, right?”
“….yes.”
A subordinate who nodded with a firm expression at Team Leader Jang Tae-young’s question. His face was terribly distorted by that cruel and heartless reality.
“X-foot…..”
Team leader Jang Tae-young prayed to a god he doesn’t normally believe in.
In this Jukchang Daejeon, I hope that Casillas will thoroughly step on the bastard who is cheating on him by overdoing those heinous tricks and win the championship confidently.
I prayed with a more earnest heart than ever before.
* * *
Jukchang Daejeon 3rd round.
[Number of survivors remaining: 2 people] When the poison gas rushed in before
I knew
it, it engulfed the entire island, leaving only the empty space in the center.
In that clearing, only two players stood facing each other.
Casillas.
Dex.
It was the first time they had met, but the two started talking as if they knew each other well.
“Is that skill still there? Survive to the end.”
“… I wondered where it disappeared, so was it playing Arcadia?”
Unlike Jae-young, who has a bright smile and a relaxed attitude, Casillas is watching him with a tense face. The audience watching the confrontation between the two went crazy with an explosive reaction.
– Kiya! This is the real Jagangducheon!
– Will Casillas be able to atone for the past Icarus?
-What are you talking about! How dare a second-class person for 10,000 years surpass the first place?
-Deckmen~ I believe in you!
-Hya….. Another historic match is taking place here.
A subtle rivalry between the two has spread through users who have played Icarus in the past. Everyone was excitedly eating popcorn and watching the match between the two.
“How… have your skills improved since Icarus?”
Jaeyoung’s question seemed slightly ignored. As if his pride had been scratched by that question, Casillas twitched his face and tried to answer calmly.
“…As expected, that confidence is still the same. It will be very different this time.”
clap.
When playing Icarus, Casillas felt frustrated every time he felt a huge wall.
However, he raised his sword, determined to overcome that huge wall without fail this time.
“Hoh… But what are those weapons? that’s interesting.”
Jaeyoung’s eyes widened when he saw the various types of weapons firmly attached to Casillas’ back.
Fighter.
A fighter who engages in life-and-death battles with any weapon he can get his hands on. He had to fight by quickly switching between various weapons according to the situation to suit his job, so all kinds of weapons were piled up on his body. At Jaeyoung, who was looking at him with wonder, Casillas jumped at him and swung his greatsword without replying.
Chaeeng.
The moment his greatsword was about to cut Jaeyoung in half, a huge greatsword appeared in his hand in an instant and blocked Casillas’ attack.
Whirly Rick.
However, as if he expected that, the moment he put down his greatsword and turned around in the air, he tried to stab Jaeyoung’s neck with a dagger he had pulled out from somewhere.
Caan.
Jaeyoung also blocked the attack with a dagger he pulled out from somewhere.
Caan.
Caan.
Caan.
Since then, the attacks have been repeated several times with new weapons.
However, Jaeyoung responded and blocked the attacks with the same weapon as Casillas each time.
pug.
And Jae-young’s kick, which was rather a surprise attack, aiming for his gap.
Casillas, who was hit by it and flew several meters away, stood up in an instant even after rolling on the ground, and looked at Jaeyoung with stunned eyes while taking a combat posture.
“How on earth…?”
“Hey, what if you switch weapons so slowly? You can see it all.”
Jaeyoung looks at him as if he is reprimanding him, as if he is asking if this is the best. He told Casillas in a disappointed tone.
“How can you not? It has to come in irregularly. If you try to put in a combo like that, does that work?”
On the contrary, Casillas couldn’t help but feel it again when he saw him complaining while giving lessons to himself.
1st place in the general battle ranking of Icarus. The god of battle who shone at 1st place in the best battle ranking of all time.
Dex is the existence of a huge wall.
