Chapter 410

However, Gudlow quickly dispelled his theory.

No, that doesnt make any sense.

It wasnt that he was disregarding Hunter Choi Yeonseungs abilities, but not all A-grade hunters excelled in all areas. If they did, there wouldnt be any A-grade hunters going bankrupt after entering the world of business.

It was the same with leading clan battles.

Werent the Demon hunters being trained by the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor? There was no way Choi Yeonseung could suddenly barge in, change the training regime, and have the hunters perform well. Only a constellation could pull off something like that

Its a coincidence. It has to be

Gudlow brushed off his anxious thoughts.

Sometimes, such things happened in clan battles. There were times when ignorant strategies, which were essentially gambles, worked amazingly.

However, there was no way Dmitrys opponent knew how strong he was. The hunter from the Demon clan was only doing so well because he had subverted Dmitrys expectations with his unusual fighting style.

Dmitry, kill him cleanly! Hes just a nameless, weak hunter!

***

Hes fighting well, Choi Yeonseung said calmly.

Chu Wonseung, the leader of the power analysis team, and Kang Seoneun, the leader of the management support team, rejoiced with incredulous expressions.

Its not bad at all!

Thats right!

Isnt he fighting well?

So he can fight much better... Its miraculous...

Chu Wonseung was so excited that he could barely get the words out. Much to everyones surprise, Dmitry had lost the initial scuffle and retreated.

Wi Seongu had pushed him back!

This is absolutely incredible!Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Yeah, I know Can you settle down now?

Y-yes!

Chu Wonseung finally remembered that the owner of the clan was next to him and quickly went silent.

What an amazing person!

Chu Wonseung admired Choi Yeonseung in his mind.

Given that the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor was away, Chu Wonseung had been convinced that their performance would be worse than usual.

The hunters of the Demon clan werent all that talented individually. It was more like the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor had somehow carried them by the collar, saving them from being disbanded.

However, he had suddenly disappeared, leaving Choi Yeonseung to take his place, so Chu Wonseung had naturally been worried.

However, the atmosphere at the beginning of the match completely took him by surprise!

Wi Seongu had pulled off a miraculous victory by pushing Dmitry back in the early fight. Thanks to his impressive feat, everyone would inevitably see Choi Yeonseung in a different light.

Seeing how Choi Yeonseung stared ahead with crossed arms, his expression neutral despite an amazing start to the match, Chu Wonseung felt like he was looking at a virtuoso, a top-tier director that could lead any clan to glory!

Hes fighting a lot better than I thought.

However, Choi Yeonseung was almost as surprised as the rest of them. Of course, he had come up with some strategies for Wi Seongu to use against his opponent

Dmitry Diesel:

Level: 143

Strength: 199

Agility: 131

Physical Strength: 140

Magic Power: 180

Intelligence: 160

[Heavy Blow]

Rank: B

Based on your innate strength, your melee attacks will deal extra damage.

[Beware of Self-complacency]

Rank: D

You are complacent due to your successive victories. Vigilance will decrease.

[Mid-range Mastery]

Rank: B+

While being at mid-range against your opponent, your concentration and composure are at their max, and your combat power is also increased.

......

...

As he evolved as a constellation, Choi Yeonseung had gained the ability to see the opponents abilities in more detail.

One conversation with Dmitry had been enough for Choi Yeonseung to grasp his weaknesses.

Have you finally lost your mind?

Fans of the Demon clan are really something else....

Nurse Kim! Where have you gone?! A patient has escaped here!

The people who still supported a clan on the verge of collapse were considered true die-hard fans.

Other people said things like Oh, just get rid of those imbeciles already and bring in new clans! Those morons wont be of any help when monsters appear!, but the die-hard fans who still supported the clan responded with things like No! The clan just needs to be reorganized Like rebuilding it They will be resurrected soon!

Only fans like that would go to see in person one-sided clan battles like this one against Awake. To be honest, they didnt really expect the Demon clan to win. They just hoped their favorite clan would have a few good moments before they lost.

-I heard that Wi Seongu is fighting well these days.Besides, hes a martial artist.Isnt it a good thing to be a martial artist these days?Its fairly popular, given that people are looking for martial artists here and there.

-Hey, that guy didnt even get selected in high school...Its just that the clan makes him look strong.

-I-is that so?

-Any hunter would look strong if brought to this clan and thrown in.

Those were the impressions of the public before the match had started.

However, the game didnt go as they expected.

Wi Seongu crushed Awakes ace, Dmitry, in the beginning of the match. He then capitalized on his momentum to push Dmitry and completely overwhelm him.

The top and the bottom lanes had been shaky at first for the Demon clan, but they eventually gained the upper hand as well.

The Awake hunters ran back and forth, trying to bounce back somehow, but...

Huh?? What??

Hey, are we actually going to win???

Did the Awake clan only bring their preliminary candidates?

N-no? They are famous, right?

The Awake clan was struggling more and more, losing more ground to the Demon clan. The Awake hunters gathered to kill the powerful monsters in the dungeon, hoping that would help them make a comeback.

However, the Demon hunters were quick to stop them.

The intensity of the match was at its peak. The fans were on the edge of their seats, watching through their fingers as Wi Seongu and Dmitry clashed fiercely once again.

Hes going to be smashed!

...H-he won! Hes made it through!

"Waaaaahhhhh!"

Wi Seongu shocked everyone by winning the exchange once again.

Who brought him? Who brought him here?!?

Wasnt it a clan scout?

It couldnt be a clan scout! Korean scouts arent that good!

Youre right. Uh Did the Iron-Blooded Ice Emperor bring him himself?

Oh... Come to think of it, hes still alive.

The fans rejoiced at Wi Seongus amazing performance. They felt that they would be happy with this match even if the Demon clan ended up losing.

Of course, the fans felt that way in the moment, but they would definitely be furious if the Demon clan fumbled the bag in the end.

***

Gudlow shook his head, his expression of utter dejection. No matter how he thought about it, they had suffered an unbelievable defeat.

I have no choice but to admit it. I underestimated our opponent too much.

Choi Yeonseung mustve played a big role in it. Otherwise, it didnt make any sense for the Awake clan to lose this battle.

People were only talking about how shocking it was that Wi Seongu had overwhelmed Dmitry, but in fact, the enemies had targeted all of their weaknesses.

That couldnt have been a coincidence. That was skill.

C-can I ask you a question? the waiting reporter asked cautiously.

After a clan battle ended, it would generally end on a warm note with everyone giving an interview or leaving a comment. The losers might be feeling incredibly bitter, but they had to keep their heads high.

However, the Awake clans loss had been so unexpected that the reporter was apprehensive. What if they went on a rampage?

Gudlow nodded with a bitter smile. Of course, go ahead.

The losers also had their obligations, and Gudlow had no intention of fleeing them. Besides, he was relieved that at least they had lost a friendly match, not a high-stakes clan battle.

It was better to lose early on so they could improve for when it mattered the most.

Did the hunters of the Awake clan let their guard down or were they in worse shape than usual?

No, there was no such thing at all. Our hunters always do their best. Its just..

?

All I can say is that Hunter Choi Yeonseungs coaching has exceeded my expectations. I take full responsibility for this defeat. The hunters arent at fault.

@ggol_eogsini

-Hunter Choi Yeonseung, I would appreciate it if you could be the director forever.

What? You really won? You won this battle?

Did Hunter Choi Yeonseung break the limbs of each opposing hunter before the clan battle? This doesnt make sense

Ive never seen Director Gould compliment someone like that!
