614. [Side Story] Last festival (4)
Standing outside the arena, Ader lowered his hand from top to bottom.
“The opening match begins!”
Deng-!
Wow-!
With the sound of the bell announcing the start of the game, deafening cheers from the audience.
My main party and the opponent’s party – ‘the uncles’, who were standing on the left and right sides of the stadium, ran to the center of the stadium at the same time.
The ‘Uncles’ were a skilled party in real combat and set up an accurate camp.
Torquell in the forefront. Behind him, Zenith and Nobody side by side. After that, at the end of the chain, there was a composition called Diarmudin. ‘Pure tanker with recovery machine, melee dealer with high
– utility black mage and pure deal mage….’
Totally luxurious!
We have Lucas and Evangeline forming a two-top avant-garde. Me and Damian in middle heat. It was a composition with Junior standing in the back row.
Should I say it’s a combination with a thicker potential but less breakthrough power?
Our party slowly made its way to the center of the stadium, but the ‘uncles’ saw only us from the beginning and rushed quickly.
They seem to be trying to earn points by defeating us first and then hitting the fake dragon.
‘It’s an accurate judgment!’
Damien is on this side.
Considering that the victory condition of this martial arts tournament is to earn points by hitting the fake dragon’s weakness, the odds are to neutralize the opponent’s sniper.
The men’s fierce advance was tactically reasonable.
The men who rushed quickly crossed the center of the stadium and entered our camp.
“Where would you like to taste the power of that scary party under the direct control of the lord?! The pits show the mature charm of the uncles who didn’t have it… Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
It was then.
Tuhak-!
Nobody, who was screaming and swinging his wooden sword over his head, was suddenly hit by water spouting from the dragon’s mouth and rolled aside.
The rest of the guys were freaking out.
“Water cannon?!”
“What kind of water cannon is here?!”
I grinned.
“Don’t you remember the retreat? You have to know how to avoid it!”
The fake dragon has artifacts wrapped around its body.
In addition to score calculation sensors and barriers for self-defense, it is also equipped with multiple attack methods that reproduce the dragon’s wide-area pattern.
A water cannon instead of a breath, a rope whip instead of a magic vending machine… Because
it’s a fake dragon, you won’t die even if you get hit.
Beep!
At the same time, scores were engraved on the magic panel on the side of the uncles.
[-100 points]
“What’s the deduction?!”
“If you get hit by a water cannon, 100 points will be deducted!”
“No, Your Highness, didn’t you tell me there was such a thing?!”
“I didn’t say no!”
I’ve said it over and over again, but even though it’s a light atmosphere, this is a tactical evaluation.
How skilled a warrior an individual is. How well the party is breathing.
And above all, whether he had the right aptitude for dragon raiding. Even in the middle of a crazy melee, can you avoid all the patterns of the fake dragon?
I’m watching everything. Everyone, stay alert!
Tuhak! Tuhak! Tuhak!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Water cannons continuously protruded from the fake dragon’s mouth, and the whips installed on its front legs swept the floor and rushed in.
The men who were flustered after allowing the first attack managed to avoid the attack, but our main party remained calm. Do you know that I have been doing special training for nothing?
“Guys!”
“yes!”
When I gave the signal, we approached the dragon and jumped up at the same time –
Cheek!
I easily dodged the line whip.
There was a strange pleasure just by having several people perform the same movement at the same time through training. I smiled broadly.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! How is it! This is the performance of training and the power of friendship… Aww!”
A water cannon hit my face as I shouted with excitement.
As I wiped my face, I saw Lily, who was manipulating the fake dragon on the panel over there, covering her mouth and smiling broadly.
“You have to stay alert, Your Highness!”
“Coke! Coke! Yumma Lily! Is this what?!”
“I am just playing by the rules. The fake dragon sprays water cannons equally to everyone who comes within a certain range~”
Lily laughed horribly and manipulated the fake dragon to spray water in all directions. It looks like the most fun in this martial arts competition!
And as the gear nose men approached us to avoid these water cannons and rope whips, the game quickly fell into a melee situation.
“shield-!”
“The Great Shield-!”
Evangeline and Thorkel collided with each other’s shields while exchanging some unidentified shield words and shouted,
“Sir Lucas! Come on! I have confidence in enduring…!”
“Ugh-?!”
Zenith, dressed in divine power armor, marked Lucas.
It was not an easy task to shake off an SSR-ranked priest who could withstand even the world’s Lucas with self-healing.
In this way, the two avant-gardes on our side were neutralized, and Chain and Nobody dug into the middle heat.
“If only the sniper boy is incapacitated…”
“The victory will come over us!”
As I was trying to stop them, I looked at the center of the stadium startled.
oh oh oh…!
Diarmudin was gathering mana. I clapped my hands involuntarily.
“indeed! Is that an operation!”
While the other 4 of the guys cling to us, wasting our time.
It was a strategy in which Diarmudin, capable of wide-area attacks, spewed magic at the fake dragon to earn points.
“Hehe, my eyesight has deteriorated, so I’m not sure where it’s attached, but…”
Diarmudin grinned as he radiated terrifying magic power even while wearing a restraint bracelet that limited magic power levels.
“Once you pour it, it will hit anywhere…!”
I was about to instruct Damian to shoot Diarmudin. However, Chain and Nobody were already attached to Damian.
“Wow!”
Damian panicked and couldn’t fire the sniper in time.
Damian’s few weaknesses, close to being a complete scammer, are… his soft-heartedness.
It’s not an obvious enemy, and in a martial arts tournament like this that’s close to the evaluation match… I don’t have enough coolness to fire attacks at allied heroes with all my might.
In addition, now it is not a horse gun, which is the main weapon, but a shortbow loaded with rubber-headed arrows.
Push! Push!
He fired an arrow belatedly, but said,
“It’s obvious, it’s obvious!”
The chain swung the magic arm made of darkness and removed it at once. Behind him, Nobody prepared a slash and rushed at Damian.
When Damian was in a pincer attack, Junior inevitably ran forward, and Chain and Junior collided with each other, entwining their magical powers.
‘Chit!’
I turned my gaze back to the center of the arena.
Currently, Diarmudin is no-marked. If left alone, he might earn all the points by himself and end the game.
We must interrupt it before it pours out its magic…!
“I will stop Diarmudin!”
I left Damien and Junior and ran forward.
“You guys break through the guard and attack the fake dragon!”
“yes?!”
“Prince Hwa! wait a minute! Prince!”
Demian and Junior, who were in tears, called me, but I didn’t even look back and ran out.
In fact, tactically, it might be better for Damian to start sniping after I join in and get rid of the chains and nobody.
But this melee training is also necessary. You must also know how to shake off enemy potential that sticks like a leech on your own.
That’s because it’s all the things you’ll actually experience in the Black Dragon subjugation…!
‘I believe we can overcome it, guys!’
No, you have to overcome it! For future battles too!
widely!
I put the flag on the floor.
Then, a gray castle wall rose from the floor like a flower petal, and I rode it and slid across the floor like a sleigh to approach Diarmudin.
And- I hit Diarmudin’s side with a full swing as he was about to complete his magic.
“Eight!”
“Wow! Are you going to kill me, Prince Ash?!”
The frightened Diarmudin had no choice but to stop casting and blocked my flag with a magically enchanted staff. I continued to wave the flag without stopping.
“Stop the magic! Yap! Yay!”
“Eight! Eight! Wait a minute, I’m going to sprain my back! for a moment!”
So, a wizard and two quasi-magicians (close combat sloppy) are bickering,
and shoot Aaaaa!
Water cannons rained down on us from the fake dragon’s mouth
…
“Gyaaaaaa.”
Me and Diarmudin rolled across the floor together.
The defense of the game was falling into the labyrinth.
***
“Come on sniper boy. Everyone on our frontlines fears and reveres your eyes…but I’m different.”
All the rest of the heroes were fighting each other 100 times.
The confrontation here was completely out of balance.
“Because I can’t see anything in the first place-!”
The blind swordsman Nobody shouted ferociously and swung his wooden sword.
Chew! Chow!
The rubber-headed arrow Demian desperately shot was smashed in the air in vain.
Damian gnashed his teeth and desperately opened the distance, but the Nobody who stepped on his foot approached much faster.
The life of a long-range striker is ‘distance’.
Keep your distance or not. This is where the game is decided and life and death are decided.
If you don’t kill the enemy before it approaches, you will be defeated if you allow the enemy to approach.
Likewise, the life of a close-range striker is also ‘distance’.
It exerts overwhelming power within a short interval of its attack, but if it does not reach within that interval, it will die on the contrary.
You must dig into the gap to your advantage, and there the path will open.
As such, the battle between the strikers is a battle of whether or not they occupy an advantageous distance.
And now, the confrontation between the two was overwhelmingly in favor of Nobody.
The swordsman dug into the archer.
There’s no way you’ll lose!
Tsukak-!
Nobody’s wooden sword slashed fiercely through the wind. Damian grasped its trajectory with his naturally overwhelming eyesight and twisted his body to avoid it.
No, I thought I avoided it, but…
Wedge love liquid!
The sword curved strangely and flew into the shortbow in Damian’s hand.
“?!”
Terrified, Damian managed to avoid the attack by biting his body as if he was round. Nobody grinned, showing his yellow teeth.
Since he is blind, the direction of his gaze has no meaning.
The movement itself is different from general tests.
Because he has been blind since birth, there is no concept of ‘seeing’, so the preceding action of ‘seeing’ is missing in both the swinging and retrieving actions to prepare for the sword attack.
This subtle difference created a strange sense of heterogeneity, and Damian, who understood his lack of close combat experience as the movements of other swordsmen he had seen so far, was further cornered.
Because he had too good eyesight, he was more on the defensive.
“Caught-!”
It was the moment Nobody shouted and tried to strike the wooden sword.
“The one you caught… is on my side!”
Tuhak!
Damian suddenly fired an arrow in the wrong direction.
In the meantime, I always aimed for a weak spot that could neutralize Nobody accurately, but this time the arrow was completely misdirected.
‘Did I miss it because I was flustered?’
Nobody laughed and tried to subdue Damian – but
got goosebumps on his shoulders.
The direction that Damian suddenly shot was in the direction of the fake dragon. If that’s the case…
‘Have you just discovered the evil?!’
For a moment, Nobody’s head was spinning. If that arrow really found and shot the reverse, then this match could end right away.
‘No no! It’s fake! To trick me!’
but.
An arrow that the swordsman risked his life and fired when he was about to be overpowered.
There’s no way this isn’t fatal…!
‘Damn it, I have to stop the arrows!’
Nobody mobilized all his senses to find an arrow that had been shot in a direction far away from him, and then twisted his body forcefully and swung his wooden sword to remove it.
Tuhak!
Arrows exploded in the air, and the next moment Nobody realized.
“sorry.”
The boy in front is not just good at eyes…
“It’s a fake.”
It even made me bold.
At that moment, Damian gave the prosecutor in front of him a complete gap and bet on a psychological battle, and it was Nobody who lost.
“Ehh…”
Nobody muttered shyly.
“I ate a knife. shit.”
A pug between the forehead of a no-body whose posture has completely collapsed due to overexertion
! Fuck!
Two rubber-headed arrows exploded in succession.
The subdued Nobody jumped backwards.
“after.”
As he loaded his next arrow, Damian looked towards the fake dragon and smiled.
And leisurely pulled the protest… and shot.
Towards the reverse that he found.
Wedgesweet-
The arrow cut through the air in a clean trajectory…
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Cheers then filled the arena.
