Subscriber of the Gods Episode 165
Episode 165. It Won’t End as a Funny Story
Kyaang-!
As the duel went on, Ethan became overwhelmed by Xiang Yu’s strength.
‘I became one with the window.’
Just as he became one with the sword, Xiang Yu had reached the state of becoming one with the spear.
The spear technique showed a variety of movements. The most problematic thing was the range that Xiang Yu’s spear could reach.
Even though he thought the spear would not reach, Ethan was unable to avoid being hit by Xiang Yu’s spear technique as it seemed to extend in an instant.
‘but.’
Ethan’s body was now a mess. A deep wound on his shoulder left him unable to use one arm, and a wound on his thigh left him unable to move as quickly as before.
‘It can’t end like this.’
Shouldn’t we try a proper counterattack at least once?
‘This is not giving up.’
It’s just setting clear goals.
“This is enough. Holding on any longer is just recklessness. You know that yourself, right, Subscriber?”
Xiang Yu highly regarded Ethan’s skills.
Also, I had enough information to give Ethan the advice he wanted, so I wanted him to just give up and say he lost.
But Ethan didn’t give up.
Kwak-!
Thinking that I only had one chance, I focused all my strength on my injured foot.
Phagecic-!
Soon, yellow lightning enveloped my feet.
‘How far can I go?’
Ethan put his sword back into its scabbard and used his best swordsmanship skills.
A finishing move of Ethan’s swordsmanship that adds the momentary power of the Sword of the Frost Thunder Flash Sword to the Sword of the Sword of the Tornado.
Ethan’s Sword 3rd Form
Thunderstorm
Ethan’s sword struck down Xiang Yu’s spear.
“her!”
The surprised Xiang Yu tried to take back the spear, but Ethan’s power was much stronger than before. This was because he had focused all his strength into swinging it in an instant by exhaling briefly.
The chest of Xiang Yu, whose posture had collapsed, opened wide.
Ethan didn’t miss that opportunity.
Sigh!
But in that moment, Ethan’s sword cut through the air.
Xiang Yu dodged backwards, leaving behind an afterimage.
The damaged Hang-woo stared at Ethan.
Ethan was breathing heavily.
It was natural for him to have a look of despair on his face since the fatal blow ultimately failed to land.
Rather, he was smiling as if he felt relieved.
Xiang Yu laughed cheerfully at that sight.
“Hahahahaha-!”
Push-!
Although he thought he had clearly avoided it, Xiang Yu was unable to do so.
A long wound opened on Xiang Yu’s chest and blood gushed out.
“That was a great hit!”
“Can we consider this a win?”
Ethan sat down, gasping for breath.
Xiang Yu approached Ethan and helped him up from his crouching position.
“So far, there have been a lot of subscribers who have sparred with me through this combined content.”
Xiang Yu said.
“Everyone asked me to teach them a trick. So I did. I’m not good at watching them, but I did my best because it was a sparring match. What do you think happened?”
“Everyone must have been defeated by Xiang Yu. Seriously.”
“That’s right, not a single one of them lasted. Every single one of them passed out without exception, wasting all of their time.”
As he said that, he slapped Ethan on the back.
“You’re the only one. The only subscriber who didn’t faint and remained sane after the duel ended. And you even hurt me.”
Xiang Yu stroked his chest. It was clearly a deep wound, but Xiang Yu’s wounds had already healed.
Shaaaaak-.
At the same time, all of Ethan’s wounds disappeared. Ethan’s body, which had been extremely exhausted just a moment ago, recovered in an instant.
“How is it, were you able to find what you wanted in this sparring?”
“Yes, thanks to you, I learned a lot.”
Chuck Jun-gyeong, Hercules, and Xiang Yu.
I thought it was a good idea to merge these three.
The gods each passed on their own beliefs and philosophies to Ethan.
Before the merger, Ethan was at a level where he could hardly be certain of victory even against Luna Spirit, the weakest of the 12 Apostles.
But now it was different.
Because he was the only subscriber who ever injured Xiang Yu.
Ethan looked at his fist. Then he clenched and unclenched it repeatedly.
“It has definitely gotten stronger.”
New swordsmanship.
A new mindset.
And I was able to master the abilities I already had.
“I’m still not good at reverse oscillation and universal intuition. But… … Didn’t you just start learning it?”
It was a bit clumsy, but it was good enough to be used in actual combat.
“Yes, I’m not very skilled yet. My reverse divergence is about 15 percent.”
“Fifteen percent? No, already?”
Hang-woo was greatly embarrassed by Ethan’s words.
All of Xiang Yu’s techniques are of high difficulty.
The signature technique, reverse discharge, is easy to learn and use, but difficult to improve proficiency in. It was also not easy to get used to it because you had to directly receive the opponent’s attacks with your body.
Even if you get the feel of it, you have to practice and practice hard every day to reach only 10 percent.
In order to increase your skill level, you have to push your body to its limits.
“… … If I had learned it through a shortcut, I wouldn’t have been able to use it to that extent. But if I just practice vaguely, I won’t be able to use the reverse emanation properly.”
If that’s the case, then it means that you have finally trained using the proper method.
You would have pushed your body to its limits and used reverse oscillations to repeatedly exceed those limits.
If you trained like that, then this abnormal speed of skill is understandable.
Xiang Yu muttered, stroking his chin.
“That must be your own way too.”
Ethan’s swordsmanship was quite special. As a subscriber who trained to this extent, he must have also improved his reverse firing proficiency in his own way.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“This merger has been quite fun. So, like the other gods, I have a favor to ask of you. Of course, it’s not just any favor.”
“Your Majesty, you are also looking upwards.”
Hang-woo smiled as Ethan quickly understood what was being said.
“I plan to make a lot of new videos. I plan to let go of some of the stubbornness I’ve had so far. Do you know that? The new world is currently shaking around you.”
The history of the New World is long.
In its long history, the New World has not seen much change.
But now that new world was shaking.
“Since you showed up in this new world, the situation has been greatly shaken. An oriental god that no one knew about has grown and risen to the top. A mid-ranking god that had been stagnant for a long time has been able to see the top. There has been a change in the rankings that had been fixed for a long time.”
There, subscribers who were inspired by Ethan started to act like Ethan.
“The community bulletin board where subscribers can chat with each other has also become very active.”
Ethan was the beginning of all these changes.
“Everyone jokes that you could be the game changer of the new world. Everyone says it half-jokingly, but I have a feeling that you’ll accomplish something.”
Xiang Yu said with a smile.
“I know it may sound funny now, but.”
Ethan took a moment to catch his breath, then spoke with conviction.
“It won’t end as a funny story.”
* * *
Through successive mergers with the gods, Ethan achieved quite satisfactory results.
The greatest achievement of all was that I grew considerably mentally.
‘But the amount of homework has increased as well.’
“Even if I fight someone as strong as Luna Spirit again, I won’t lose.”
But there are always variables.
“We need to make up for the biggest shortcoming of extinctionism.”
Survival as Ethan Wickers starts now.
* * *
Ethan, who had briefly visited the Wickers Estate using the Wind and Cloud, headed straight towards the market.
‘I need to fill my subspace pockets with some more money.’
The money that had been previously set aside had already been used to donate to the Holy Light Church.
But since the speed at which money was earned was faster than the speed at which it was spent, it was now a battle over how to spend that money.
“huh?”
Ethan arrived at the market and found a familiar head on the back of his head.
“Huh.”
When Ethan saw him, the man who had been looking around also noticed Ethan and made a very embarrassed expression.
“Hahaha… … It’s been a while, Ethan.”
It was Letra Junta.
The eldest son of the Count of the Huntsman family, who had sparred with Ethan when Count of the Huntsman had come to visit, was right in front of Ethan’s eyes.
And it wasn’t just there, there was a line.
“Have you come to give attributes?”
“That attribute granting thing is really amazing.
“You don’t have to be embarrassed.”
Ethan gave a thumbs up.
“It’s a natural romance and hope. Isn’t that right, Letra?”
“……Right!”
Letra, who had been hesitating, smiled brightly.
After talking to Letra like that.
Ethan quickly stuffed the money into his subspace pocket.
“It feels like I’ve stocked up the fridge with food.”
1 billion gold.
‘At this rate, I think it’ll be fine for a few months.’
Then he headed to the workshop.
“Everyone is having a hard time.”
The magicians of the Magic Tower who joined in the early stages of the business were already fully accustomed to their work.
He gave me magic as if I was a machine, and I could feel the skill and expertise of a veteran in his actions.
“Ethan! You’re here!”
“I have created a new way to assign attributes this time.”
“You can now give the flame different colors!”
“Now you can even give it the lightning attribute! Of course, there’s no actual lightning attribute at all!”
“I’ve created a technique that combines two attributes into one. Take a look!”
Even though there must be a huge number of customers coming in every day, those who serve them do not look tired at all.
Rather, when Ethan came to visit, he talked about the newly researched attribute granting as if he had been waiting for it.
‘How pure.’
Pure passion and a desire to be recognized.
For them, serving numerous guests was not a difficult task.
‘The more guests you have, the more you will feel like your magic is being recognized. It’s not just a feeling. It’s an accurate indicator.’
A long line. All the customers waiting in line want to experience their magic.
‘With so many people wanting his magic, he must have no choice but to study magic more. He must want to show something new and be recognized more.’
That’s why those who deal with many guests have greatly increased confidence in magic.
The old appearance of hunched shoulders was now nowhere to be found.
“Everyone, speak slowly. Do you like the house and lab that were provided this time?”
“Oh my, I’m so touched that you gave us all such a big house and lab.”
“I’ve never been in such a big house.”
“This is my first specialized laboratory just for my magic, Ethan.”
Ethan gave them a definite reward.
For those who had been living in the shared laboratory and small rooms of the tower until recently, it would be a completely new world.
“You haven’t been rewarded for your abilities until now. But now it’s different. That house and the lab are just the beginning. From now on, you will be properly rewarded for your abilities.”
At those words, the wizards looked at Ethan with eyes full of awe, as if they were looking at a god.
‘A big house and a lab, a reward that makes a big difference.’
“Then shall we take a look at the results?”
Now the wizards had no doubt about Ethan’s vision.
“hmm.”
Ethan checked the new attribute enchantments each wizard had created. Ethan had a lot of knowledge and knew which methods would appeal to the customers better.
“oh.”
Ethan saw the attribute that Marakhan had created.
“You can change the color of the flame to whatever you want. You can even mix colors!”
“That’s great. How many colors are available?”
“In addition to the original red, blue and black flames were added.”
Maracana’s expression was filled with pride.
Ethan hmm, and stroked his chin.
“Is this color possible?”
At Ethan’s words, Marakhan’s eyes opened wide.
The color Ethan described was one that Marakhan had never even thought of.
