CH 34

egressor

A stadium converted from a soccer field.

A large arena half the size of a field.

Thick stone walls and tempered glass on top.

Mana flowed on the surface of the glass, maintaining defensive magic.

The magic circle built by inviting the Archmage of Aruka planet used bloodstone as the main energy source, and the bloodstone consumed per minute alone was 80 million won.

There are more than 50 Awakened Awakening people on standby, but the rule is so radical that about 3 people die every year during the game.

Supernatural Power Fighting Championship.

There is only one weight class!

Applicants are only eligible to apply!

The best competition on Earth to determine the strongest new human race!

The most popular among them is .

[Today's main event! We choose the strongest of mankind!]

At the shout of the hall announcer, the crowd filled 30,000 seats shouted.

The previous nine matches were fun, but what everyone is looking forward to is the final main match!

[Introducing the champion!]

wow!

The announcer who gave a lingering aftertaste as if enjoying the shouts of the crowd continued.

[Current ranking 1st place! A total of 21 defense battles! S grade. The strongest human in the world! The strongest magic swordsman on earth! Japan's last weapon! Hiro!]

A small door opened under the giant stone wall of the stadium, and the champion appeared.

Whoops!

With every step he took, the flames blazed splendidly and followed him.

wow! Hiro! Hiro!

Magic control that is not worth the title of a person who has mastered the magic of fire.

Papa!

With one leap, he flew to the center of the arena, and flames spewed out of the sword he wielded, creating the form of a bird.

Whoops!

As the flame, which had the shape of a phoenix for about 5 seconds, hooked into the sky and disappeared, the crowd's shouts reached a climax.

Slowly waving his hand seemed to be full of leeway.

[A challenger against this!]

The tone of the announcer's voice became hoarse.

[Rising Divinity. Ranked 32nd. S grade. The human weapon itself! Russian Hulk! Michael Giorvas!]

A single-weight SFC match is a system where you can challenge yourself by selecting a top ranker within the top 50.

To qualify as a challenger to challenge the champion, you must first be ranked 50th in the world rankings.

Giorvas recently ranked 32nd and took on an exciting challenge.

"Aww!"

Giorvas, who appeared screaming as if he was trying to beat the crowd, leapt vigorously and flew through the sky and landed in the center of the stadium.

woo woo woo!

The arena was dug and a shock wave was scattering whether it was a ground slam-type skill.

phlegmatic.

Seeing that the defensive magic to protect the spectators worked weakly, it seemed to contain a lot of power.

Giorbas approached Hiro's nose and smiled and pushed his grim face. His bald head, wriggling in veins, added to the vicious atmosphere.

"Fufu, Hiro! The championship is mine from today."

"Lee Seong-woo."

What?

"It's not Hiro, it's Lee Seong-woo."

"Kufufufu, as of today, Hiro's era is over."

" ."

Seeing Jorvas smiling confidently, Seongwoo Lee shook his head.

[To each player's position!]

Control tower and referee's seat located above the stands.

At the command of the referee holding the microphone, two people moved to the starting position.

The shape of the duel stage was slightly different for each stadium, but here in Tokyo, the arena was an elongated octagon and was about 120 meters long from end to end.

The starting positions of both players are about 50 meters from the center.

[3, 2, 1, Fight!]

At the same time as the start, Jorvas kicked off the floor and flew up. Exciting leap!

"Whoa!"

Both of his fists were dyed blue with a confident synergy. Missile fists that break both ogres and heads!

Quang!

A fist that had never been blocked was blocked by Lee Seong-woo's grasp.

"Wow!"

Giorvas pushed him with strength, but the barrier that Seong-Woo Lee unfolded was absolutely solid.

Quang! Quang!

When he alternately struck with both hands, the shield cracked, but he was not Lee Seong-woo, who stood as dumb as a scarecrow.

Whoops!

Fire magic covered the whole body.

"Wow!"

Giorvas blew them all away with one shot, but in the meantime, Seong-Woo Lee, who took the back, blew a fierce sword attack.

Kang! Kaang!

The fists and swords wrapped in blue light collided and made a roar.

The spectators shouted at the sight of the two men exchanging a studio from end to end of the stadium.

'The show is like this.'

The audience and the future challengers also showed enough of this.

As Lee Seong-woo's eyes changed, Giorvas instinctively felt it too.

'Is this because the search war is over?'

Jorvas prepared his strongest defense skills to unfold at any time.

"Come!"

Giorbas, who exclaimed with excitement, took a chance.

I analyzed every 21 defense fight of the champion. After the final draw, Lee Seong-woo always has a little gap.

'Aim for that time.'

After blocking with defensive magic, counterattack.

However.

Papa Pat.

Lee Seong-woo, who was constantly making fun of his sword, stepped back.

"Are you scared? where ."

Giorvas, who was about to provoke, stopped.

"Uh, when ."

Small cuts all over the body are burning.

These are minor injuries. Small wounds caused by exchanging swords.

"It's over."

Lee Seong-woo's words sounded like a death sentence.

grasp!

As blood spurted from the small wounds all at once, Giorvas stumbled in a moment of dizziness.

how ."

You can see the security guards running through the blurred vision.

Lee Seong-woo, who looked down at the fallen challenger indifferently, waved to the audience and left.

[champion! The 22nd Defense Battle is over! Who will overcome the champion's stronghold!]

Leaving behind the announcer in the hall, who spoke haphazardly, Lee Seong-woo headed to his waiting room.

"Is it over already?"

A black-haired, short-haired woman sitting on the sofa in the waiting room and looking at her phone asked.

"Did you not see it?"

"You're going to win anyway, so what do you do?"

Lee Seong-woo pouted his mouth and sharpened his sword.

Akiko, who glanced at him like that, glanced at the screen hanging on the wall in the waiting room and frowned.

Even though 20 Healing Awakens are clinging to each other and pouring their magical energy, Jorbas is still lying in the arena.

uh? Did you kill me?"

"Because it's worth it."

Ugh.

Akiko sighed and quietly approached Lee Seong-woo and hugged him. His hand, which was sitting still and wiping the sword, stopped.

"Don't try to carry everything by yourself."

The only woman in the world who knows Lee Sung-woo's secret.

With her comfort, Lee Seong-woo got some comfort.

"More than that, another great guy came out of your country."

It is unknown at this time, but the only person who will stand out in the future will be the one who will occupy one of the positions of the future eight guests.

who? swordsman?

I was puzzled even when I asked.

It's been a year since he started making a name for himself.

Huh? no. Druid."

Akiko showed me the cell phone article she was looking at earlier. An article that the Ministry of National Defense is inviting them with great care, and that they may be invited to Japan soon.

"You say you're going to be the second Lee Seong-woo?"

At Akiko's words, Lee Seong-woo looked at the article closely. An article about Park Soo-ho appeared on Akiko's phone screen.

'Park Soo-ho? sleep without memory Butterfly effect?'

It is unavoidable that history is slightly twisted according to one's actions. However.

"Do you have any data?"

"Are you interested?"

"Because variables should always be checked."

"Fufu, I knew it and found it."

Akiko showed me an article that analyzed Park Soo-ho well.

"Isn't that great? If he's really a planetary returner, maybe there's a fourth planet connected to Earth.

"I can't."

The butterfly effect has its limits.

The sudden death of Giorbas, who will be infamous for the Seven Evils 10 years later, or the fact that Akiko, who should have died two years ago, is still alive, is well within the category of the butterfly effect.

However, major events such as the appearance time of the level 7 dungeon and the connection of the 4th planet have never changed.

"The next five years. Before that, there was no appearance of a new planet."

"Hmm, if that's the case, then that's it."

At Lee Seong-woo's assertive remarks, Akiko did not show any doubt.

"Then how about this person? Wouldn't it be better to join us on our side?

Seong-woo Lee, who had finished reading the article, returned the phone.

"Let's wait and see."

Seongwoo Lee, who knows all the names of those who will become famous in the world in the future. The existence of Park Soo-ho was unfamiliar to him.

'Never heard of it.'

Dozens of regressions.

This was the first time that Park Soo-ho stood out among all the time.

It is not too late to recognize his tendencies and recruit them later.

'It wasn't far.'

When the great apocalypse begins, the survival of mankind, which was barely maintained, is threatened. It was not long before the moment when the stronghold of mankind, which had been united in a city unit, was broken and driven away.

Divided China and Russia, which lacks capacity, collapsed due to dungeon breaks and monster flooding across the Asian continent.

How will South Korea stop the hordes of monsters that will destroy North Korea and come down? All countries on the continent eventually flee to the islands.

The Korean government, which fled to Jeju Island, will lose its cause, and the mercenaries who have been reborn as warriors after the long war have been covered with stones have only one place to go.

'You can pick it up then.'

An era is coming when the concept of the state becomes ambiguous.

There is only one reason why he is laying the groundwork in Japan by listening to the sound of maekuknoh. As long as the dungeons in Japan are well organized, the island nation of Japan becomes the best place for human survival.

The surviving Koreans will call themselves heroes, not patriots.

Any criticism is acceptable.

'This time for sure... .'

I will protect mankind.

That would be his mission carrying the karma of return.

Papa!

Seo Min-soo, who passed through the portal, looked around.

"Whoa."

I took a breath to see if I was nervous, and I checked the sword at the waist or the shield in my hand to see if my weapon was okay.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Huh, this is my first level 4 dungeon."

The highest dungeon experienced by the portal management and assistant manager Seo Min-soo is level 3. Even there, it was a dizzying place, but since it was a higher level dungeon, it was nerve-wracking.

'Now that I see it, I have no solution.'

Seo Min-soo sighed inwardly.

I was swept away by the atmosphere, so I came in together, but I wondered if this configuration was right as a raid that attacks level 4 dungeons.

Sooyoung Choi B. Han Dong-soo is an F class. Park Jun-ho is an F-class. Park Soo-ho is an F-class, but is estimated to have an A-class combat power.

'I'm a D-class at best.'

The recommended raid for level 4 dungeons is a C-class pool party.

'Is there anything special with these two?'

Still, I thought there was no problem in attacking as there were Choi Soo-young and Park Soo-ho, who broke the level 5 dungeon as a duo.

As long as you are careful about the Amon trap or surprise attack, it will not be very dangerous.

Papa.

During the brief maintenance, the portal disappeared and the entrance completely disappeared. Seo Min-soo decided to stick to his role.

"In the first attack, all the attack content is recorded in my view and provided to the management office."

Dong-soo, who was next to him, groaned.

"I give it to YouTube."

Suho made a ridiculous face for the two of them.

"What are you doing?"

"It's tough. Do you agree to the provision of strategy information?"

"I just followed."

Suho shook his head.

"He just quietly follows you, and you pick up some bloodstone."

Okay.

Yep.

I moved slowly and started exploring.

Seeing Suho wandering around Yeon-sin while walking, Choi Soo-young asked as if puzzled.

"Where are you uncomfortable?"

no.

of course?

Level 4 dungeon. It is a dungeon that Choi Soo-young cannot handle on her own. Park Soo-ho's condition is the most important thing in the raid because of his weight.

"I just feel a little ."

Yes? How do you feel?"

Suho's gaze, who had been looking around with a frown, turned to a shallow rocky mountain beyond the forest.

"It feels a little familiar."

"Hmm."

Suho struggled to leave behind and entered the forest.
