Ian, who won against the Black Wizard "Kanzihun" and made it to the finals, met the anticipated opponent.
‘As expected, this user made it to the finals. ’
Lim Long, the assassin who has demonstrated the strength of firing since the first round of the Qualification.
Ian was nervous.
‘It can be really hard this time. ’
In the course of this Arena match, Ian definitely went to Lim Long's match when he didn't have one.
But the more I watched, the more I admired Ian.
‘I came all the way up here and didn't use any skill other than the assassin's basic skill. ’
This was the scariest part.
After chasing after the game like that, Ian still doesn't know any of Lim Long's hidden cards.
All Ian learned was that Lim Long's ability to control was enormous.
Ian, on the other hand, revealed all the basements in the previous match with Hun.
“You're Ian. I was impressed with your eighth game. ”
Lim Long approached Ian first and asked him to shake his hand.
Ian nods and claps his hands.
“Nice to meet you. I enjoyed the game, Lim Long. Please take good care of it."
It was the final to decide the winner of the Lucky League.
The match was staged at the largest central arena in the middle of the Imperial Arena, and a large number of people visited the arena to watch the duel.
After Kailan started his service, the Arena had an ever-growing number of spectators in the Luki League.
And within people's expectations, a system message was heard informing them of the start of the game.
[Shortly after, the final match of the Luki League, the 'Lim Long’ user and the 'Ian’ user will begin.]
A cheer resounded from all over.
“Wow!! ”
“Beat them all!! ”
“Lim Long, I'm a fan!! ”
“Ian, show me the power of the Summoner!! ”
The spectators' expectations were extreme, as it was the match of the two users who showed the best in the Luke League Arena.
Ian summons the summoners and examines Lim Long.
Like every game so far, one dotless face.
You can see how sharp your eyes are between the strappy hoodie.
‘Summoners have a bad relationship with assassin classes, no matter what they think. Especially in the Taming Master Hidden class, which specializes in raising Taming and Summoning…. ’
The way to cope with Lim Long's transparency skills was to maximize the senses and somehow minimize the damage of the first attack with the reflexes.
And I had to see the possible battles before the next transparency reuse wait time came.
[In five seconds, the match begins.]
[5… 4… 3… 2… 1… GO!!]
The game started, and Ian watched Lim Long with a lot of tension.
However, as soon as he started, Lim Long, who thought he would cast his transparency skills, was approaching Ian slowly without using them.
‘What? Do you save as much transparency skills as you can? ’
An assassin's lifeline skill, the ’transparency' skill, was rated as the best at 1: 1 pvp.
Stealth Tech Optimized for Striking Down!
However, the disadvantage of this transparency was that the cooldown time was 10 minutes.
When I went up to the high level, I might get a higher grade skill of transparency skills, and at that time the cooldown was significantly reduced.
However, this was an unknown part because there were no users of the assassin class who were still able to learn high-level skills.
‘Well, even for me, transparency skills can be used at the most dangerous moments. If you use the Transparency Skill from the beginning and fail to assassinate it, the risk will be great. ’
So far, Lim Long has used his transparency skill as soon as the game started in every match, so this was also a natural guess.
‘Until now, I've been fighting because I thought it was easier... And I still admit I'm a bit right. ’
As Ian was thinking about things, the distance between the two users became narrower.
And the one that started it first was Lim Long.
Blame-!
As Lim Long leaps into the air, Ian focuses all his mind on his movements.
And when Lim Long got close to the cake table, Ian quickly gave the order.
“Fuck me! Ice Waves!! ”
First of all, it was better to tie the feet of an assassin who was faster than Ian.
The movement was so fast that it was too difficult to match the current growth.
First, I had to use the wide-area slowing technique.
Kung-!
At the same time as the clouds, the ice waves spread out.
But then...
“Shadow Movement…! ”
Boom!
Lim Long's new brotherhood, which was floating in the air, disappeared instantly.
‘What, what? ’
Ian was embarrassed.
I could tell it wasn't an invisibility skill.
If you used the translucency skill, you shouldn't even have a shadow left, but a shadow on the ground remained.
And after a while, surprisingly, Lim Long emerges from the shadows of the floor.
“Huff-!”
Ian swallows up the false wind.
‘You dodged an ice wave...?! ’
The Ice Wave was a broad skill.
An inevitable skill while in range.
However, because of the angle of the sun, Lim Long momentarily moved to a shadow far away from the stadium and avoided the ice waves.
And Ian realized,
"Shadow! It's Hidden Class with Shadow!" ’
I've never heard of any of the assassin's basic skills.
I had expected it, but Lim Long was definitely in the Hidden Class.
While Ian is surprised, Lim Long quickly approaches him again.
“Lai, the explosion! ”
Grrrrrrr!
And Rye, as if he had waited, rushed towards Lim Long.
Ian used his current growth skills to create a sphere of current in both hands before focusing his eyes on the movement of the rim long.
If you avoid Rye's attack, you should be able to predict some of the way Lim Long will move, and throw a current sphere in that direction.
If we don't get it right, if we block Lim Long's movements as best we can, we'll have a situation where Rye can bite.
And the moment Rye and Lim Long hit.
Lim Long's new brother disappeared back to the ground.
‘Another Shadow Moving Technique...? ’
Ian frowns slightly.
An opponent with many variables was a very difficult opponent to deal with.
And as Lim Long leaped into the air as he went into the shadow of the floor, Ian threw a current sphere in that direction.
‘The wait for a shadow move wouldn't have come back! ’
If not for Shadow Movement, this attack would be inevitable.
Even though Lim Long's agility was exceptional, changing direction in the air was impossible.
At that time, Lim Long reached out to the air.
Fuck!
And the seven raindrops of his hands were scattered into the air.
‘What is this?! ’
Ian panicked, not throwing his condolences at himself or Rye, but literally spraying them into the air.
To be precise, it was sprayed over Ian's head.
Did you really think that I would accept the rainfall from the air? ’
Ian quickly slams himself into a position where rain won't fall.
No, I tried to blow it up.
But...
“Huff!! ”
In front of Ian, the shadow of the rainbow flies towards Ian as if it were alive.
Unavoidable situation.
Boom!
[I was devastated by Lim Long's "Shadow Blade".]
[You've taken 4560 damage!]
A cold sweat drifts down Ian's back, under a shadow shadow shadow shadow.
"What kind of aggression is this?! ’
Incredible attack power.
Moreover, the rain falling from the air cannot be completely avoided due to the tightness of the movement.
[You have taken damage from 1075!]
[You have taken 954 damage!]
The additional damage adds up to 7,000 brutal damage.
‘I can't believe I've suffered this much damage...' ’
But it wasn't just being completely beaten.
The current outbreak and Rai's attack also did damage to Lim Long.
[Summoner Rai has inflicted damage on Lim Long!]
[Lim Long decreases user's Health by 1795.]
[The 'Current Growth’ skill was hit.]
[Lim Long decreases user's Health by 1085.]
[The ‘Lim Long’ user is paralyzed. Movement is slowed by 30%.]
Unfortunately, Rye's attack did not trigger a critical hit because he was embarrassed by the Shadow Shadow Blade.
‘But I'm so glad I was paralyzed...! ’
Ian reactivated the current proliferation to produce a sphere of current in both hands.
He flew in front of Lim Long, rushing towards himself.
"A frontal battle. I still have 40% of my life left, so you can use me as bait to succeed in Rye's attack." ’
We had to take some damage in order to do the right damage to the reckless limb.
It was also a good opportunity for paralysis to slow down the movement.
‘The assassin's life force is almost at the level of a Black Wizard...! ’
Ian was going to put on some flesh and bone.
But in that moment,
Lim Long's new brother, who was running in front of Ian, disappeared again.
"What? There won't be a shadow to move this time?" ’
Ian's pupils were enlarged considerably.
This time, it was because Lim Long was running on the floor, so he didn't think he could use a shadow move.
Is it the Invisibility spell? ’
There was still a shadow.
‘Where...! ’
Ian stops moving.
At that moment, there was something going through Ian's head.
‘Is it my shadow...?! ’
Ian trusted his instincts.
Then I didn't have time to hesitate.
Ian activates his current growth skills behind him.
And...
[The 'Current Growth’ skill was hit.]
[Reduces the HP of ‘Lim Long’ users by 1217.]
[The ‘Lim Long’ user is paralyzed. Movement is slowed by 30%.]
My gut was right.
Lim Long, who was traveling in Ian's shadow, was precisely hit by the skill of current growth.
However,
Fuck!
Lim Long had already approached Ian's foothills, and he continued to attack calmly.
However, there was an unexpected variable behind Ian.
[Many Summoners have suffered fatal damage.]
[A lot of 'health decreases by 27.']
“Phew...! ”
For the first time, I was embarrassed by Lim Long's face.
But he calmly succeeded in further attacks.
[Critical damage sustained!]
[1740 HP Reduction.]
[-1577 HP Reduction.]
The subsequent attack on Lim Long's dagger was subtly dug up by Ian.
[You are in the ‘Bleed’ state. You take an additional 315 damage per second.]
“Damn it!”
A lot of people stopped the attack, so Ian hesitated, seeing Lim Long succeeding in further attacks like evil.
‘Skill utilization is unusual. ’
Ian's vitality has almost collapsed due to two critical hits with a bleed.
“First aid!”
Ian urgently activated his first aid skill.
But he was barely able to recover further damage from the continuous incoming ‘bleeding'.
[Your HP will decrease by 315 while you are bleeding.]
[843 HP recovery due to 'First Aid’ skill.]
Lim Long, who had succeeded in a deadly attack, was momentarily away from Ian and watching his movements.
“Shit…. ”
You lose too much health with a sudden air exchange.
The user checks the opposing Pokémon's Hidden Hand a lot, but the game is too different to reverse.
‘But I can't give up now. ’
Ian was a veteran in the battle against Kanjihoon, but he used the base to turn the tide.
Ian breathes again.
And then...
Blame it-
As Ian does not die of bleeding damage alone, Lim Long begins to move again, as if he were about to mark the spot.
‘Now, what are you going to show me? ’
One shot and the game is over.
‘The opponent will no longer have Hidden skills. ’
There was a limit to the Hidden Skills you could have at level 50.
There were no more variables.
Ian raises his concentration even more.
‘This is your only chance, Lai's critical hit can turn it upside down...! ’
Their new stature is getting closer.
And they jumped up to each other at the same time.
A sharp dagger from Lim Long approaches Ian.
Not for long.
Ian's final act was triggered.
“Space Distortion!”
Ian tried to get his body as close to the location of Lim Long as possible, and then use it as bait to succeed in Rye's critical attack.
Grrrrrrr!
Then Lai, who had switched places with Ian, bit his shoulder in response to Lim Long's attack.
[The Summoner Lai has inflicted fatal damage on Lim Long!]
[Reduces the HP of ‘Lim Long’ users by 3150.]
Seeing Lai's successful attack, Ian cheers himself up.
All right!
[Lim Long user is‘ bleeding ’. Take an additional 630 damage per second]
Lim Long's name flashes fast.
Seeing it, Ian thought:
I expected my opponent's skill to some extent from the moment I saw the shadow, but it was too damaging for me because I had never seen it before.
However, if you drag time and take all of Rye's Bleed Damage, the opponent will have very little health left.
Now I was confident to deal with the attacks that narrowed the streets directly with Ian's shadow like before, and the rest didn't give me any distance at all.
Lim Long seems to know that. He flies the double defensive diagram he was holding instead of the Shadow Movement.
Grab-!
And Ian, who was prepared, quickly turned around and kicked them out.
You persistent bastard! ’
If I put all the bleeding damage back in the next few seconds, the battle would be split in one final move.
Sweating in your hands.
Ian gripped it and focused his mind. But at that time, Lim Long's Shadow Blade was reactivated.
“Shadow Shadow Shadow Art! ”
Two dark shades of the raindrops of the ricochet forest lie on the floor.
They were fired again as they changed direction.
You little...!
They swarmed from both directions toward Ian, leaving a time gap.
Chang-!
Ian's current grew while avoiding one of the two rains. The rainfall coming from the other side was intended to prevent it by using a lot.
Rai and Taektae also rush towards Lim Long!
For a moment there. The slight shivering rain suddenly emits a black light and moves into Ian's shadow.
Yeah.
[I was devastated by "Shadow Shadow Shadow Shadow Shadow" by Lim Long.]
[You've taken 1375 damage!]
Rising system messages.
‘Ha…. ’
Ian sensed that the game was over.
At the same time Ian made a bitter smile, a system message announced Lim Long's victory rang out.
[Ian's user health is below 5%, leaving the stadium.]
[Lim Long user wins the match.]
And Ian lowered his head slightly as he stepped out of the stadium.
‘Ah... If only I had been one second faster... No, I wish I hadn't started so disadvantageously in the beginning. ’
I admitted the greatness of the enemy, but unfortunately, it was a waste.
‘I was too aggressive at first. ’
Ian blames himself for letting out all of Lim Long's hidden paddles while playing defensively at the beginning of the match.
Though successful in counterinsurgency, the mid-life damage was too great because of the assassin's class trait, which draws out explosive damage at once.
“Phew.”
A sigh of sorrow came out of Ian's mouth again.
