– Volume 12, Chapter 3
278. Colosseum (3)
The God of Fall selects a talented adventurer and gives him favor.
Taesan doesn’t know much about it, but if it’s enough for God to show up in person, it won’t be a small amount of support.
Perhaps he could have been rewarded on a level comparable to himself.
And when the adventurer who supported him arrives at him, he reveals his true color.
It makes you think that you are the best chosen by God and shatters your expectations.
He was a god who suited his realm of falling.
And since he is such a god, when he chooses an adventurer, he will look not only at his talent but also at his personality.
The mind that believes that oneself is the best.
I will choose an adventurer with arrogance.
Amelia will be too.
So, Taesan
was thinking of destroying Amelia’s faith first.
“Americans are so nice. Do it in moderation.”
“Well, that must be desperate too. You can’t guarantee that you will survive the next return.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answers Lee Tae-yeon’s grumbling.
The conversation between the two broke Taesan’s thoughts.
“There is no particular problem. Because there was no rule saying you couldn’t join forces.” Taesan also
doesn’t think
the American way is that bad .
They were in a situation where they might be alive tomorrow.
It was natural to prioritize themselves over others.
“Ah, if this is the case, from now on all of them will be Americans… It must be difficult.”
“You’re being rude.”
Seeing Lee Taeyeon crying, Kang Junhyeok smiled and said,
And before long, they were summoned back to battle. Arriving at a wide plain where no one could be seen, Lee Tae-yeon trudged along with a gloomy face
.
” hmm?”
She spotted the player walking on the plain.
A big nose and hollow eyes. were Americans. Three Americans looked at Lee Tae-yeon and were embarrassed.
“…Among the hard mode players I know, there are no Asians who look like you. Are you from another country?”
Lee Taeyeon nodded. They started chatting among themselves.
“what. Didn’t they all drop out
?”
“Are you lucky enough to survive? If you make up your mind and use stealth to hide, it will be hard to find, right?”
“…Or is it not him? that. Kang Tae-san?”
“He was a man. Does he look like a man?”
“excuse me. Can you hear everything?”
Taeyeon grumbled. The Americans’ expressions softened.
“…Do you want me to drop it now?”
“Didn’t I tell you to move after everyone has gathered
?”
“It’s just one person. Do you think the three of us would lose without Kang Tae-san?”
“That’s… that’s right.”
They took out their weapons against Lee Tae-yeon. Lee Taeyeon sighed deeply and took out her sword.
One American laughed.
“I think it’s unlucky.”
they ran away One was aiming for Lee Tae-yeon’s head, another for Lee Tae-yeon’s stomach, and one for Lee’s legs.
Lee Taeyeon moved her sword with a troubled face.
“Oh.”
Swords aiming at the head are shed, and spears aiming at the stomach bounce off. The double-edged sword aiming for the leg is trampled by Lee Tae-yeon’s foot and pinned to the ground.
Lee Tae-yeon swings the sword as it is. One hard mode player disappears intact.
“What!”
Americans are astonished
They worked together
to eliminate players from other countries, but the final winner was determined by pure skill.
The three who overcame it were the strongest among the hard mode players. If the three attacked at the same time, even Oliver had no choice but to rush to defense.
But not only blocking everything, but also counterattacking! I didn’t even see the attack.
While the two were flustered, Lee Tae-yeon quickly penetrated the gap between the two. The American player hurriedly tried to respond, but Lee Tae-yeon didn’t even allow that
.
[Lee Tae-yeon activates Shedding.]
The trajectory of the American player’s sword is twisted. Lee Tae-yeon brushes them past and they collapse.
“I haven’t heard of this, but
“I am. Aren’t I and Junhyeok forgotten too much?”
Lee Tae-yeon grumbled at the last words filled with shock.
She and Kang Jun-hyeok were entering the middle of the 20th floor. And that power
was no longer comparable to hard mode.
Now, she was confident that she could overcome even if hundreds of hard mode players attacked her.
However, since Kang Tae-san existed, she was relatively less interested in her. I’ve been looking at the community for days and days, but I’ve barely heard anything about her.
Ironically, in her previous world, she felt burdened by the attention that was drawn to her.
But now there was Taesan. Everyone’s expectations were on him
.
That’s why Lee Tae-yeon wanted to be recognized by people more than in her previous life.
“If you stay until the end, your name will be known a little.”
she murmured. he was He was confident that he could win everything, except for Amelia and Taesan.
She thought and moved. She’s strong, but it’s difficult when all the hard modes come together. Before that, I was thinking of finding one and dealing with it.
But her feet stopped. Lee Tae-yeon’s pupils, looking straight ahead, shook mercilessly.
“…Taesan-san?”
“hi.”
Taesan waved his hand leisurely.
I have no luck.”
Lee Tae-yeon, who grasped the situation for a moment, muttered melancholy.
“Of course, out of 1,600 people, I just met Mr. Taesan. What the hell is this…
“Don’t worry. Because I’m not the only one who met you.”
“Ah… older sister. nice to meet you.”
“…Junhyeok? Are you here too?”
Lee Taeyeon was possessed with a laugh.
“Even if I don’t have luck, I don’t have too much.”
Her spirit for victory was nowhere to be found.
“Isn’t there even a woman named Amelia?”
“Probably not.”
Taesan replied.
A total of 50 players were in this space as he figured out by area detection. Out of 1600 people, 50 people were selected, and all of them were Kang Tae-san, Lee Tae-yeon, and Kang Jun-hyeok.
It could have been simply bad luck, but Taesan didn’t think so.
‘Crude, but sure.’
There was no mention of random allocation in the first place. It was written that it was randomly assigned by the system. It meant that the space could be divided according to the taste of the god of falling.
And Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok were people who could reach Amelia.
It was practically impossible as there was a difference of more than 10 floors, but it was not impossible at all. In the current situation where his health reached 100 and his defense was gone, there was a very small chance of victory, but there was a clear possibility.
So Tae-san made him fall.
As they were finishing their thoughts, several figures approached them. Dozens of American hardmode players were all gathered.
“what. Do you have three? Didn’t everyone get eliminated except Taesan?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to play with you.”
Taesan raised his hand.
[You have activated Starlight Arrow.]
[You have activated Magic Separation.]
The arrows of light are separated and rain down on the hard mode players. They panic and try to run away, but the arrows of light fly faster than that.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
“Ugh!”
Lee Taeyeon covered herself in shock.
Each bursting arrow of light contained power she could not have imagined.
When the light faded, nothing was left. Dozens of hard modes
were all gone in one blow.
“It’s just fine. This is your chance to defeat me too.”
Taesan smiled and drew out his sword.
“Take a shot. the two of you together.”
“Ah…
“No matter how I look at it, there’s no Sung Sahn.”
Even as they grumbled, the two of them had a fighting spirit on their faces. With a serious face, he began to roll his head to beat Taesan.
Taesan was satisfied with that appearance.
Even though he thinks he will never be able to overcome an overwhelming enemy, he does not give up and tries to achieve victory. It was a mindset that was absolutely necessary in the Alone mode.
‘The standard has been met.’
Taesan walked over to Lee Taeyeon. Lee Tae-yeon lowered her stance and rushed at Tae-san.
[Lee Tae-yeon activates acceleration.]
Kang Jun-hyuk also did not stay still. I quickly moved my feet behind Taesan’s back.
One from the front and the other
from the back. It was stereotypical.
Tae-san raises his sword against Lee Tae-yeon, who rushes at him. Lee Taeyeon gritted her teeth and tried to defend herself.
[Lee Tae-yeon activates Shedding.]
The sword comes down and is stamped. Taesan’s sword, which touched Lee Taeyeon’s sword, is about to be possessed.
Lee Tae-yeon tries to take advantage of the gap, and Kang Jun-hyeok kicks him.
Taesan tightened his hand.
The sword, whose trajectory was twisted by the effect of possessing,
was forcibly corrected by force. Lee Tae-yeon was frightened and rolled on the ground.
Taesan drew the sword back as it was. Kang Jun-hyeok, who was rushing at him, hurriedly blocked it with his sword.
Kwajik.
And I was astonished at the difference in power I felt.
I barely succeeded in defending myself and didn’t take any damage, but my hands were shaking. It was so powerful that if you hit the sword one or two more times, you might miss the sword.
Not even power. Taesan moved his sword very slowly.
“The shedding of the ability sword is certainly powerful, but it is not all-round. If the opponent has extremely high power, it is possible to destroy it.”
Taesan raised his sword.
“Come back.” Taesan
taught Lee Taeyeon and Kang Junhyeok what to do when dealing with an overwhelming enemy .
As a result, although the two were overwhelmingly pushed, their expressions were bright.
“Then, Mr. Taesan. Please take good care of the rest.”
“brother. Give them some soul. I can’t stand it because I’m pissed off.”
Taesan waved his hand and blew the finishing blow.
[Quest completed]
[You have become the winner.]
[Settling…]
[760 points obtained.]
[Move to the final location.]
The summoned place this time was different from before. Taesan was summoned in a room painted blue.
It wasn’t very big. At most the size of a playground.
Taesan, who looked inside, turned his gaze.
There were several Americans gathered there.
[All winners determined. We will move on to the next battlefield in an hour.]
It took Taesan a long time to train Lee Taeyeon and Kang Junhyeok. Maybe that’s why Taesan was the last person.
Let’s count each one, a total of 31 people. Including Taesan, there were 32 people.
Among them, a blonde man approached Taesan.
“Um… nice to meet you.”
“hi.”
Taesan answered. The man in front of me was in my memory.
blonde hair and blue eyes. A man who is like the stereotype
of Westerners .
He was always firm and confident. When Kim Hui-yeon died, this man gathered Korean players and commanded them. And survived to face the end.
Oliver Kahn. A leader of the United States and a leader of the world.
Oliver opened his mouth.
“Your name is Kang Tae-san, right?”
Taesan nodded. Oliver groaned.
“…I heard it through rumors, but it’s really strong. But it seems to have taken longer than expected
.”
“There were two particularly strong guys on this side.”
“…Alone mode player in Korea. Are you talking about those two?”
Oliver’s eyes lit up. It seems that he is misunderstanding something, but it was not important to Taesan.
I could feel the gaze piercing toward him from earlier.
Taesan looked away.
I saw blue hair.
Brown eyes
were looking at Taesan. A beauty resembling an angry cat was staring at Taesan.
She didn’t say anything, but the energy of her whole body was revealing itself.
i am the strongest
no one can touch me
It was as if he was making such a claim.
Amelia Aerin.
A woman who was the strongest Alone mode player. And the player who was probably buried in the labyrinth by
the god of the fall .
Taesan smiled at her and opened his mouth.
“hi?”
There was a lot of emotion in her gaze toward him.
She opened her mouth while staring at Taesan.
” Really?”
“what?”
“That means you’ve invaded over 50 floors.”
Taesan laughed.
“What do you think?”
Amelia’s face contorts at Taesan who doesn’t answer.
Momentum arises in response to emotion. Oliver’s face hardened as he stood beside Taesan.
She had reached the point where she could control people with just her emotions.
But that was it.
Tae-san couldn’t help laughing at the force that was being applied to him.
Amelia Aerin. The strongest Alone
mode player. The strongest player who believed that he could not be matched in his entire life.
But no more.
Level up with skill
