Episode 253
“Dare...!”
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
King Arthur’s face distorted when Damian’s < air cannon > was fired.
Hundreds of spirit arrows were swirling in front of his eyes, but he didn’t seem to care.
That would also be true for King Arthur because Damian’s counterattack made him feel better, rather than how much power < Giraffe > had.
Moreover, the fact that he talked about checkmate and turned the victory to himself was something that King Arthur could not help but crack his pride.
It was an unbearable disgrace to him that he had to pour in a considerable amount of his strength just to deflect Brunak right away, and that he had to allow Damian’s < air gun >.
“Because they say it’s cute... I want to climb all the way to the top of my head...!!”
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
As King Arthur swung his staff around, the machine guns exploded.
It was lightning magic in the form of a blue beam.
Thunder Ray!
It is literally a magic that boasts the power of a single skill that gathers current energy and inflicts a single blow!
In general, Thunder Ray was known as the ultimate and deadly skill of the Force Mancers, but to King Arthur now, it was just a magic that could be fired with an immediate skill.
“I told you. It’s called checkmate.”
“...what?”
And the corners of Damian’s eyes and mouth curved like a bow.
“─────────!”
Too-ta-ta-ta-tata!!!
When Damian’s appearance disappeared, a strange thing happened.
It happened at the same time as his unpleasant smile faltered.
What fills King Arthur’s field of view is the essence of physical attacks represented by fists, arms, knees, and legs!
Moreover, considering that it was an offensive pouring out from Damian in front of his eyes, the dissipation of physical force pushing King Arthur was overwhelming.
Even King Arthur had only seen it through video, so a terrifying physical attack that only those who experienced it could know was hitting his body.
‘I have to get out...!’
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
King Arthur’s accident was cut off when Damian’s land attack poured in.
It was the same power to know why the opponent had been helpless against Damian’s physical attacks.
It seems to be an attack with spirit, but that’s why it doesn’t seem like a big deal to those who just watch it.
Damien’s fists were like those of a boxer, and there was no corner like a thunderbolt, and the consecutive kicks were reminiscent of those of Taekwondo.
The process is as natural and seamless as flowing water.
Therefore, even the magic that King Arthur hastily generated does not form a shield and often breaks down, and at the same time, it is absurd that it has that much power.
At least King Arthur’s magic power was deep enough to withstand Damian’s physical attacks.
It felt like being caught in a spider’s web, so to speak.
The moment you allow access once, you get caught up in the blink of an eye and can’t even move.
That was Damien’s fear of physical attacks and one of the many variables he had.
– Go away.
“...!”
Before long, a flashlight fell over King Arthur’s head.
“Kaaaaaagh—!”
As Damian struck down his fist, a growl came out of King Arthur’s mouth.
It was a spear created at the same time he spread his palm in the air.
Canton of Brunnac.
A legendary spear that is unrivaled in the current AC.
Suddenly, Damian drove King Arthur into a corner while summoning Brunak and striking him down, and King Arthur, who was already controlling it to the limit with a physical attack, was helpless.
It was because in front of Brunak, his enormous magical power and his control during his professional gamer days were useless.
“Kaak! Kaaaaagh!”
* * *
– Breaking news. With the exposure of the technical flaws and dangers of the so-called AC, a virtual reality game that hit the world and enjoyed sensational popularity, claims are being raised that Evertale has intentionally covered it up. In response , the governments of each country, of course...
Just now, the Central Safety Countermeasure Headquarters held an emergency press conference and requested that all virtual reality devices be disconnected. This is according to the emergency suspension decision of the Security Council....
– I will inform you once again. If you have a family friend or acquaintance who is currently connected to a virtual reality device, quickly disconnect...
“...what does this mean?”
Jinhun turned his head to the sound of the TV coming from the living room. Even on his mobile phone, news announcing the dangers of virtual reality was raining through various media.
Not only was it not enough that the live streaming window of the switch he was watching was changed to an announcement, warnings are pouring in as emergency safety and disaster text messages.
And Jin-hoon could see that the live streaming window he was watching was forced to close at the same time as the switch’s mobile screen stuttered.
Even just 30 seconds ago, the battle scenes that made my hands sweat had disappeared.
“What is it? What the hell is going on...”
– RRRRRRR!
While Jin-hoon got up from the sofa, his phone started crying.
It was a caller with a familiar name.
Minjun Do.
He is well acquainted with him, and he is also close to his older brother, Jin-seong.
Soon after, as if Jin-hoon was possessed, he pressed the call button, and soon an urgent sound began to emerge from the other side of the receiver.
– Hey Ma Jin-hoon!!! where is your brother!!!
“...yes?”
– Where is Jinseong right now?
It was too urgent to be a joke.
“Why is that, brother? What happen. Why is my brother...”
– Hey, didn’t you just watch the news?!
“I’ve seen it... but this is...”
– Isn’t Jinseong on air right now?! Disconnect immediately! hurry!
“My brother isn’t home right now...? He didn’t come from his room today.”
– Such a fucking...! Get out of here right now! Quickly call people you know! I mean disconnect immediately!
“no...!”
Click!
Jinhoon looked down at his dead phone.
Before he could say anything, Minjun hung up the phone.
Why did he suddenly call in the middle of the night, and why was he looking for him in such a hurry?
Besides, considering that Minjun’s voice was so serious, there must have been something wrong, although he didn’t know it.
“No way... no...”
Eventually, Jin-hoon’s head turned white.
“No... no no no no no no no no...!”
Wow Changchang!
A sofa table gets caught at Jin-hoon’s feet.
The glass table fell and broke the top, but Jin-hoon didn’t care.
Time to run to the front door, put on your shoes, and run to the main street without having time to pack anything.
As if possessed by something, Jin-hoon ran down the alleyway, and orange streetlights rained down on his head, and on the contrary, some people passing by looked back at him and passed them by again.
There was not even a thought in Jin-Hoon’s head.
The only thing that filled his head was Minjun’s urgent voice and the news of unknown content.
And it didn’t take long to notice that it was all pointing in one direction.
Marginality.
There must have been something wrong with his older brother, who had just been watching live.
“taxi-! Taxi hee hee hee—!!!”
Aaaaaaaaang!
Before long, a sharp horn poured towards Jinhun.
