Chapter 61 Advancing to the Finals
What is this guy asking?
Do you remember the tutorial?
Of course I remember. Because I didn’t eat baekhwan.
What’s strange is why Oh Ji-hyeok asks that.
“According to the instructions of the superior, we checked the authenticity of the attack posted by Petit Gongdu. At least the raids after the 6th floor are all true.”
“I guess so. It’s a strategy article with only facts.”
I took a step back and replied.
As long as his identity was revealed, there was no need to hide his voice.
Although being Kim Jeong-soo is just one of my other identities.
He quietly stared at Oh Ji-hyeok. A complex expression.
what is the intention Why are you even telling me the missions you received from the guild?
“It was information that even large guilds did not know. The 13th floor attack is a bit different. It was a strategy that only Sangun and Muhakseong knew about.”
I guess so. Because it was Lee Jun-seok who gave me that information.
His brother who died was a rookie of Kowloon.
“You bastard, Kim Jung-soo. At first, I thought you were Petit Gongdu. In fact, I still doubt it. But looking at the situation, it seems that you have an assistant. At least as someone related to the guild.”
I still listened to him with alertness.
He gestured for me to continue.
Oh Ji-hyeok, who let out a bloody laugh, shrugged his shoulders.
“In addition, the hair loss man who participated in this event. He implied that Petit Gongdu was a woman.”
misunderstood That idiot judged it arbitrarily.
I have no intention of explaining it.
“I think so. Petit Gongdu is not alone. I am just a spokesperson for a group with a certain purpose. In the background, there are various informants as well as community bastards.”
“Did you make all this fuss because you wanted to make sure your guesses were correct?”
I pointed to the smoke screen that was still covering the area.
The amount of smoke is great, probably because I used good things.
You will never see us from the stands.
He let out a small sigh and gripped his sword.
I’m asking what else is great.
“Am I your teacher? If I ask you, if it’s right, say yes, if it’s wrong, tell me it’s wrong? And you, the enemy?”
Come to think of it, he’s another one. Are you stupid?
On what basis did you think I would give you an answer?
“no. The main point is from now on. I don’t have time, so I’ll speak quickly. The smoke screen will clear in a little while.”
Tuk-tuk. The guy who snapped his fingers looked at me.
A more serious expression.
“As I said before, all the information Petit Gongdu posted is true. That means that the tutorial strategies he posted are likely to be true as well. And information about Baek-hwan.”
ah. now i get it
why did he talk to me The reason why I asked if you remembered the tutorial.
you’re doubting Is the large guild that you are soaking in really right?
Is the tutorial strategy they spread false?
“I also have a vague memory. So did the other guys. The other large guild members didn’t ask, but it wasn’t in their mission to gather information about Baek-hwan.”
He even acted outside of the orders of his superiors.
Trust in the affiliated guild has been broken.
So, maybe you’re talking to me in this way.
“I will keep an eye on you. Do you keep posting real strategies? Or are you trying to commit something after building trust like that?”
“After that?”
“If the petit gondue is right. If what he says is true.”
Oh Ji-hyeok stopped talking for a moment and twisted his lips.
The expression is ferocious.
“Then I will help. The purpose of the group you belong to is still unknown.”
I was scratching my head.
Is it a trap or is it sincere?
In times like this, it would have been very convenient if we had the ability to confirm truth and lies.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have that ability.
Still, just in case you don’t know.
“There is no purpose. I’m just trying to save the children who will die in vain and bring them to the top. Climb higher and become a high-ranking hunter. There are also things that are not good for large guilds.”
Actually, it’s because of my strategy score.
Still, it’s true that I have such feelings, so it’s not really a lie.
Are you surprised by my words?
Oh Ji-hyeok’s eyes were slightly agitated.
“Is it a cause?”
“What do you think?”
“Whoa. okay. The judgment is mine.”
Oh Ji-hyeok looked around.
The smoke is gradually clearing.
The audience, unaware of the situation, was shouting, so it was time to end the conversation.
His eyes moved quickly.
“Currently, I am the only one moving as a tracker. I don’t know how many more people will follow Petit Gongdu and head upwards. For a while, I’ll make it easy for you.”
“Isn’t that an act of treachery?”
It was an act that went beyond trickery and betrayed the guild to which it belonged.
Kick Oh Ji-hyeok laughed.
see for the first time that guy laughs
“Why do you think I joined a large guild?”
how do i know
“There are many reasons to become a Hunter. But the roots are the same.”
Does it have sensitivity unlike how it looks like a baby?
I don’t know what it is.
“Resentment towards monsters. The desire to be strong.”
Oh Ji-hyeok’s face cooled.
It was so obvious that I didn’t even think about it.
Who among those who have gone through a collapsed society wouldn’t do that.
The miserable world was a burden that all survivors would carry.
The process, too, was far from beautiful.
I got my daily life back, but everyone knows.
If the same thing happened, it wouldn’t be that different.
As if it is not strange for someone who has been through war to prepare for war.
It was only natural that those who had suffered a cataclysm would prepare for a second cataclysm.
The basis is strength.
“You have to get rid of anything that gets in your way.”
he smiled broadly
“It’s good to be honest.”
I also agreed, putting the mask back on the ground.
His goal is to become a powerful Hunter.
It was that I would rather believe in my strategy, which is suspicious but truthful, rather than a large guild that hinders growth by spreading false information.
for your own growth.
It was a very intuitive yet sober decision.
Strangely, I didn’t like it. You will still have a sense of caution.
-Whoa, whoa,
the smoke is fading.
Now I can barely see the spectators.
“The conversation ends here. Focus on the event again.”
Remembrance. Oh Ji-hyeok took his stance.
The speculation that came out sharply.
“I lost on the 6th floor, but this time it will be different. Do your best.”
I nodded.
Then it is. It doesn’t look like it’s just a conversation.
Hwang Seung-shim. The desire to grow beyond the strong.
Competition lifts people up.
The guy also stood here like that.
-Kaduk
raised the sword.
let’s see the match
-Hwi yoo woo ung
The wind that blew just in time removed the smoke screen.
From that point on, I ran towards him.
– Dig!
He also threw the knife he was wearing at his waist.
There are as many as 6 of them.
– Kaang! Kang!
He quickly swung his sword and blocked the knife.
A knife that bounces helplessly.
Is it check? The attack is clumsy for something like that.
“Goes!”
Oh Ji-hyeok raised his voice and rushed.
[Dig (F) Lv. 2]
I dug a hole by surprise, but jumped over it as if I had expected it.
I’m not going to fall for the same trick.
good.
‘Then I have no choice but to shoot and press it from the front!’
– Quaang!
He kicked the floor hard.
A sword that strikes with the force of one blow.
At the same time, a knife flew from behind and wrapped around my arm.
The body stopped momentarily.
“late.”
– Kwajik!
His kick hit me in the chest.
I rolled back and balanced.
Where did the knife come from?
I looked around and soon noticed.
-Peeing
[Mana Line (C) Lv. 2] A
thread made of mana was connected to the knife he threw. He used it to control the knife.
Was this control possible? Picky. It’s difficult to avoid flying from a blind spot.
If Deokchun had been there, he would have stopped it.
I was worried that he would be okay, but I shook my head. Now is not the time for Deokchun to think.
It was in the middle of a battle, and he still had five knives left.
-Piriririk!
Five knives fly at bizarre angles.
irregular movements. hard to read path
-If you hit one keying,
the knife flew at a different angle.
When the shoulder was blocked, the ankle was caught, and when the waist was protected, the forearm was wrapped.
slowly, not in a hurry.
A knife that begins to restrain my body little by little.
– My
body feels heavy due to the feeling of resistance.
He is indeed a man with a fighting sense.
but.
[Fire (F) Lv.2]
-Rest!
The compatibility is not good.
set fire to the whole body.
Mana constantly leaking out.
The efficiency was not good, but thanks to that, I was able to burn all the mana lines that were strangling me.
– Short!
– Crackle!
A knife falling to the floor with its thread breaking.
“Still ignorant mana amount!”
The embarrassed guy widened his distance.
-Kooung!
I stepped on the advance and dug into him.
then stab.
– Push!
His side was ripped off.
massive bleeding. It must have been a fatal injury, but Oh Ji-hyeok’s momentum did not diminish.
The desire to win.
An obsession close to madness aroused his body.
[Kick (D) Lv.8]
-Kick!
A heavy kick hit my shin.
Not even a scream came out from the excruciating pain.
It’s almost like it’s broken.
My body stopped momentarily.
“Aaaaaaa!”
I sighed and grabbed him by the collar.
eye contact.
“Did you do your best?”
“Of course!”
The mana of the whole body fluctuated.
Let’s live up to expectations.
Fighting so hard, I wouldn’t do it if I was clumsy.
I grabbed it by the collar and threw it on my back.
-Kooung!
Oh Ji-hyeok, who passed cleanly.
My body was stuck on the hard ground and fragments flew.
[Dig (F) Lv.2]
[Dig (F) Lv.2]
[Dig (F) Lv.2]
[Dig (F) Lv.2]
I created a series of pits.
Under. keep going down.
until all sides are blocked.
So that the impact I’m going to apply is completely directed at him!
–
The fire surrounding the body becomes more vivid.
It reacted to the hot heat rising from within.
According to my will, the sparks of mana gathered at one point.
“Let’s see if it holds up.”
[Fire Bomb (B) Lv.6]
I forcibly burned my magic and caused a huge explosion.
A guy buried in a pit.
Neither he, nor the fire, had nowhere to escape.
-Quaguaguagwang!
They amicably surrendered themselves to the explosion.
Now, it’s a sight to behold.
only fire. The roar of the explosion. Burnt smell stings the nose and ashes covering the space.
[Fire Resistant (E) Lv.3]
If it felt quite cozy, would I be crazy?
However, with numerous explosive experiences and the power of passives, it was quite bearable.
-Goo-guk-gu-gu,
the vibrations of the earth are gradually picking up.
The pit collapsed and the whole body was covered with dirt.
It was like being buried alive with a little exaggeration, but I felt refreshed.
“I am taller, too.”
Fighting.
I clambered up through the dirt mound.
With one hand holding Oh Ji-hyeok, who had lost his mind.
“wow.”
Coming up to the stadium is a spectacle.
It was a mess because the earth and sand poured out with the explosion.
Even the surrounding land collapsed, resembling a crater.
A situation where the barriers were spread in some places to see if the debris was splashed to the bleachers.
-I
threw the Oh Ji-hyeok I was holding onto the floor.
-Waaaaaaa!
Realizing that the game was over, the crowd started cheering.
“crazy! I beat Oh Ji-hyeok!”
“What is the bar just exploded?”
“What were you doing in the smoke screen earlier?”
“I don’t know! It’s just crazy!”
“What a surprise. Hopefully, all of the guys who advance to the finals will be independents.”
“They have to work hard too.”
Looking up at the sky, I saw Kildereth grinning.
I’m not too surprised, perhaps because I was expecting my victory.
“ruler! I watched a great game. The winner is Evileye!”
He declared my victory.
One game left until the finals.
I wasn’t too worried.
You and I are going to the finals anyway.
‘Because there are only two balding men.’
I looked at the iron bars on the other side of the stadium.
A bald man with a big smile.
He proudly straightens his back and crosses his arms.
Anyone who sees you will think you’re a hero from a children’s cartoon.
Should I give you a cloak as a gift?
While thinking useless thoughts and laughing inwardly, Kildereth flew over the arena.
“There will be a short break because the pitch has turned upside down. As soon as it is restored, what about the last game of Group B? Do you have any problem?”
Kildereth asked me, who quietly raised his hand.
It’s good to rest. But it’s a bit of a waste of time.
“If the other side is okay, I want to start right away. Are you okay?”
I pointed to the contestant behind bars.
“It doesn’t matter as long as we both agree, how about it?”
The guy who was pointed out by me seemed to think for a while, then nodded.
From his point of view, it was better for me to fight before recovering my strength.
“great! Let’s start the last game of Group B! Skip the player introductions! Then start!”
-The iron bars
going up.
“You are arrogant! I’m the one who gets to the finals!”
The opponent came running with great momentum.
The equipment hanging in clusters reverberates loudly.
I clicked my tongue a little.
I’ve only seen him run, but I feel that he’s far worse than Oh Ji-hyeok.
‘Oh Ji-hyeok must have been on the strong side.’
If it was him, he would have come right in front of me.
I heard a rolling stone without a word.
weight is suitable.
–
He put one foot forward and threw a stone.
Horrifyingly fast.
“Heheuk!”
The other party was frightened.
That was the problem.
– Bahah!
You should have avoided it before freaking out.
An opponent who gets hit in the head and collapses at once.
Everyone watched with bated breath to see if he would stand up.
he couldn’t get up
“It’s over! Evileye, the final winner of Group B! We advance to the finals!”
Kildereth shouted my victory.
Cheers rang out.
