Episode 49 Week 3 Battle (4)
A desert where the hot sunlight pours down.
The heated sand radiates heat to those standing on it.
Even the occasional gust of wind that blows like a shower in a drought is nothing but a warm breeze.
[Kim Ho 100% Go Hyun Woo 100%]
vs
[100% Japanese, 100% calligrapher]
“… … .”
The calligrapher waved his hand gently from across the room, pretending to know me.
Go Hyun-woo and I also awkwardly waved our hands in response.
“Are you going to win?”
“of course.”
If you lose here, not only will you lose the quest, but you will also lose the mentoring.
I have to put my regrets aside for a moment and try to torment him hard.
Ilgong was a monk with a shaved head and a strong Buddhist aura even though he was wearing a uniform.
Judging from the fact that he is empty-handed except for the rosary beads he holds and rolls in his hand, it can be inferred that he has practiced the recommended method.
He is a perfect match for Ko Hyun-woo.
“You stick with that tight-fisted… monk. I’ll take care of the calligraphy.”
“That sounds good. Okay.”
Melee is melee. Long-range is long-range. It’s a strategy with no special features.
On the other side, it seemed like Ilgong had said a few short words, but it is unclear whether the calligrapher will actually follow those instructions.

[Start!]
The calligrapher’s twin pistols spit out blue fire, and Ilgong gathered golden tension in both hands and fired them out repeatedly.
– Tutututu!
– Papapapat!
Go Hyun-woo and I split up to avoid the onslaught of long-range attacks.
The place we were just standing was turned upside down, and sand was flying around.
I can’t just take it.
A brain-buzzard flew out of my hand.
The calligrapher aimed his dual pistols at the hummingbird that was quickly approaching him.
– Tutututu!
As the hummingbird nimbly dodged the rushing magic bullets and got closer, Ilgong also felt something was wrong and helped the calligrapher with his tension.
He managed to intercept it just before it hit the calligrapher.
‘That’s pretty good.’
It was only two people intercepting one spell, but it was commendable considering that not many opponents had been able to do it properly so far.
It seems that the tension of the day is so strong that it is possible to get a skill level of 600 points.
“hmm!”
Go Hyun-woo takes out an iron sword and sends out a sword energy, and Ilgong responds with tension.
They exchange blows from afar and gradually get closer to each other.
However, Ilgong was unable to help Seo Yein any longer because he was too focused on Go Hyeon-woo.
The second hummingbird sent out hit the calligrapher.
– Phagec!
The following pattern is as follows,
‘Smoke bomb with transparent ghillie suit.’
– Boom!
As expected, thick smoke rose.
[Windforce] clears away the smoke grenade, revealing a patch of sand in the middle of nowhere.
The nearby sand was blown away by the wind, and the calligrapher’s transparent body became blurred.
When I focused the wind force there, the calligrapher fell sideways and rolled on the sand.
I clenched my teeth and held back my laughter.
“Ahem… … .”
– Kang! Kang! Kagak!
Go Hyun-woo and Ilgong were now engaged in close combat.
A metallic sound rings out as the iron sword and bare hand collide.
It is the golden hands of the craftsman that make it possible.
A form that mixes hand and palm techniques.
Go Hyun-woo doesn’t just swing his sword, but also throws punches, kicks, and knee kicks in between.
In the big picture, it seems like Go Hyun-woo is pushing ahead.
I turned my attention back to the calligrapher.
I sprinkled some sand and saw that the calligrapher was still lying face down on the floor.
I guess he’s trying to snipe Nana Go Hyun-woo.
‘If it hits, one shot.’
The only defensive trait I have is S-rank [Elemental Resistance].
Elemental attacks are almost all ignored, but physical attacks or attribute-less attacks consisting of only magic power take full damage.
The moment the calligrapher’s sniper shot hits, it’s game over.
Even Go Hyun-woo probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a few hits.
So, the best thing to do is to prevent sniping altogether.
– Phew-!
A strong wind swept through the place where the calligrapher was lying down.
As if in response, a blue light flashed at the location where the rifle would have been positioned,
– Boom-!
The magic bullet was shot in the wrong direction and disappeared without a trace.
Sniping is a very delicate task.
Even if you slightly turn the muzzle to the side with [Windforce], the accuracy drops drastically.
I am the perfect natural enemy of today’s calligraphers.
He lets the wind blow here and there, annoyingly, and then turns his gaze back to Go Hyun-woo.
– Kang! Kagagak! Kang!
In the battle, Go Hyun-woo still held the high ground, but the weapons were the opposite.
While cracks gradually appear on Go Hyun-woo’s iron sword, Ilgong’s hand gradually turns a brighter golden color.
And finally,
– Perseok,
The iron sword’s durability ran out and it broke.
Ilgong follows Ko Hyeon-woo, who kicks the ground and retreats.
If I want to give Go Hyun-woo a chance to catch his breath, I have no choice but to lend a helping hand.
– Crackle!
A hummingbird that was sent flying at just the right time got between Ko Hyun-woo and Il-gong.
The drone paused for a moment and fired its double-edged sword, but the hummingbird, still breathing, retreated for a moment and then charged forward in a zigzag pattern.
– Phagec!
However, the hummingbird disappeared, leaving only a few sparks even though it touched Ilgong’s body.
There is no sign of paralysis at all.
It is thanks to the golden aura that covers and protects Ilgong’s entire body, the hosin ganggi (護身罡氣).
‘It’s starting to feel like things aren’t working out.’
It was also the case that Baek Jun-seok was released from paralysis as soon as he was hit by the Hummingbird, and that he didn’t even enter Ilgong right now.
In the future, the level of your opponents will continue to rise, and cases where Hummingbird fails will become more frequent.
What we need to point out here is not that ‘Hummingbird’ doesn’t work,
The point is that ‘E-class hummingbird’ doesn’t work.
[Copy] One of the limitations of a skill is that it cannot grow.
The E-rank from when it was copied from Song Cheon-hye will be maintained forever.
If you’ve used this many Hummingbirds that you’ve personally trained, you should have achieved a D or C rank.
For E-class Hummingbird, it would be better to cover it with another skill when the opportunity arises.
If the worker shows good skills, you can take them.
Of course, even a hummingbird like this gave the Japanese a breath of fresh air.
It was enough time for Go Hyun-woo to change into a new iron sword.
Go Hyun-woo advances again and goes on the offensive.
– Kagagak!
I turned my gaze to the calligrapher again.
It gathers all the wind that was blowing here and there upwards and focuses it downwards at once.
– Boom-!
Again, the rifle fired reflexively, and a magic bullet landed a few steps from where I was standing, sending up a spurt of sand. My aim seemed to be quite off.
“Huh… … .”
I had to cover my mouth.
The corners of my mouth kept twitching, so I couldn’t help it.
The calligrapher’s detailed appearance could not be confirmed because his body was covered by a transparent ghillie suit, but he was probably crushed by the wind that pressed down from above.
If there was a sound effect, would it be ‘tsk’?
[Kim Ho 100% Go Hyun Woo 85%]
vs
[72% Japanese, 96% calligrapher]
The calligrapher’s stamina wasn’t reduced much, because he didn’t swing the wind force as viciously as he did when he beat up Gwak Ji-cheol.
The point of this battle is to stimulate the desire for improvement, so just getting in the way is enough.
The calligrapher realized that after going into hiding, sniping was completely blocked, so he removed his transparent ghillie suit and replaced his rifle with dual pistols.
– Tututututu!
This didn’t work for me either.
I avoided the flying magic bullets by using [Thief Step] and cast Hummingbird twice in succession.
– Fire, fire!
I pushed the frozen calligrapher lightly with Windforce, and he fell to the side and rolled around on the sandy floor.
“… … .”
Our gazes met with gray eyes.
I can feel my motivation quickly waning from his expressionless face.
You won’t feel like fighting because nothing you try will work.
‘This side is finished.’
It seems like things are slowly coming to an end over there too.
It seemed that Ilgong, who had been pushed back the whole time, had decided to make the first move.
While pouring out tension to Ko Hyun-woo, he creates distance and his momentum soars in an instant.
[Lingma Buddha Shadow Diamond Energy]
[Great Hand Seal]
All the golden energy was concentrated on the palm of Ilgong’s hand, which was extended forward, and his hand appeared two to three times larger.
When the tension that had been gathered was released in one breath, it gave the illusion that a large golden Buddha statue was stretching its hand forward.
[Neungma Bulyeong Daegeumgang hand seal]
– Kwaaaaah!!
A large golden palm covered Go Hyun-woo.
Go Hyun-woo slowly raised the iron sword above his head with a faint but confident smile on his lips.
A cool breeze blew from somewhere and swept around.
The area that had been scorching under the hot sun was instantly covered with a cool breeze.
The wind gathered around the blade, forming an even sharper blade.
[Clear stream]
He lowered his hand towards the golden palm that was covering it.
The iron sword slowly breaks apart from the tip… … .
– Flash!
“… … .”
“… … .”
The next moment, Go Hyun-woo was holding nothing in his hands.
Even though the iron sword was cleanly destroyed, for a moment he was grasping the air as if he was holding a transparent sword.
Then, I released my strength and took it back with my empty hands.
On the outside, Ilgong also looked fine, so it seemed like nothing had happened between them.
“hmm…….”
Ilgong staggered and half-knelt on one knee, then straightened up again.
It looks like he’s having a hard time controlling his body.
Go Hyun-woo asked.
“Would you like more?”
Ilgong looked at the calligrapher still rolling on the floor as if asking what he thought, and then checked on me.
It gives us an example of what we have judged to be the conclusion.
“It’s a defeat for the weak. I’ve learned a thing or two.”
“It was a good match.”
[Kim Ho Go Hyun Woo Win]
vs
[Lose, a calligrapher from Ilgong]
‘Should I do it now?’
Although Daesuin is not a very versatile skill, I think it would be better to borrow it for a little while since I’m going to change it anyway.
Quickly copy the skill before the enemy leaves.
[Use ‘Copy-Skill’.]
[Register the target’s skill ‘Daesuin (D)’ in the slot.]
▷Copy-Skill [2/2]
1. Algebra (D)
2. Thief’s Step (B)
Meanwhile, the calligrapher was still sprawled on the sandy floor.
I went closer and looked down at him as he lay there, staring up at me. The stadium looked like his living room.
It’s the middle of the desert, isn’t it hot?
He takes the hand I extend and raises his body.
“… … .”
The calligrapher looked at me with a blank expression for a while, then quickly turned around and left the stadium.
After thinking about it carefully, I guess I do get a fever.
“It looks like Lady Seo is angry.”
“I guess so.”
I’ve been suffering from [Windforce] throughout the game, so this is 100% true.
When that kind of gradient anger starts to build up, it’s better to give yourself some time alone.
Conversation is something to try later.
“Let’s go out.”
Go Hyun-woo and I also walked outside.
Grab the next match right away.
[Kim Ho 489 points]
[Go Hyun-woo 717 points]
While waiting, I checked on Go Hyun-woo’s condition.
“You’re fine. That Cheongryu thing takes up a lot of internal energy.”
“Haha, I’m not the same as before.”
When I used [Cheongryu] in the match against Jo Byeok, I almost exhausted all my stamina, so I ate a fortune-telling breakfast during lunchtime.
But now, I can use the same technique on Ilgong and it doesn’t bother me.
This was thanks to the fact that [Core]’s rank rose by two levels and its maximum stamina increased significantly.
Go Hyun-woo smiled brightly.
“Thanks to Brother Kim. If it weren’t for the special training room, I wouldn’t have been able to get over the wall so quickly. How come, do you think your skills are up to expectations?”
“Almost. Let’s watch just one more game.”
Just then, a match was scheduled and the opponent’s information was displayed in the notification window.
[Kim Ho 491 points, Go Hyun-woo 718 points]
vs
[Wangpil 460 points, Jangsam 689 points]
“… … It’s a pretty ordinary name.”
“I know.”
I entered through the teleportation magic circle and looked at the faces of the two people across from me.
His appearance was as ordinary as his name.
Wang Pil can be put in the guest house as a guest right away without any discomfort, and Jang Sam is a perfect fit for the gatekeeper.
If I pass by someone’s face, I think I’ll forget what they look like within 3 seconds.
I observed them more closely, and soon nodded.
“I’m having good luck with the draw today.”
Meeting Hong Yeon-hwa twice yesterday was neither beneficial nor fun, and I felt a little sorry.
But today, there are opponents who will be a great experience for Ko Hyun-woo.
Go Hyun-woo tilted his head as if he didn’t understand my reaction.
“What on earth are the authors’ true identities?”
“Look at them both, they both have so many personalities.”
“… … ?”
A personality that seems overly ordinary.
The supporters eat it all
