Episode 222 Week 12 Battle (5)
The strategy of the Kim Ho-Hong Yeon-hwa team was simple.
Take advantage of your mobility to quickly get to a higher ground and then keep an eye on the opponents who come up behind you.
Once the distance seems to have narrowed to a certain extent, it flies upwards and repeats the control from a high place.
It was blatant and obvious, but effective.
‘Because we haven’t found a breakthrough yet.’
Go Hyun-woo thought like that and drew his sword diagonally.
The wind that had been wrapped around the blade spread out fiercely, cutting down the falling flame feathers.
– Crunch!
However, Hong Yeon-hwa’s magic was connected in the blink of an eye.
Immediately the next feathers fly towards him.
‘There’s no time to catch your breath.’
There was also the option of roughly hitting the body.
Those were magics focused on restraint, so they didn’t seem to have much destructive power.
However, there is one problem here,
– Phew!
The fact that some feathers fly in and explode.
This is because Hong Yeon-hwa mixes in the flame explosion magic, [Outburst], from time to time.
Ko Hyun-woo could never ignore the feathers because he didn’t know what would explode, and this made the speed at which they rose even slower.
[Koh Hyun-woo 83%, calligrapher 87%]
Considering how much time has passed, my stamina hasn’t really decreased much.
However, the current situation is not very optimistic.
[Kim Ho 100% Hong Yeon-hwa 98%]
That’s because the other side suffered no damage at all.
‘If we continue like this, we’ll definitely lose.’
But as Ko Hyun-woo had judged at the beginning of the game, Kim Ho could easily win against them if he put his mind to it.
In that case, we must assume that there is some intention behind prolonging the game.
“… … .”
Go Hyun-woo continued to slash at the fiery feathers while staring at the opposing camp.
And then her eyes met with Kim Ho’s, who was looking down with an indifferent expression.
Then, somehow, it seemed like I could read his intentions.
‘It means to make the first move.’
The calligrapher seemed to have similar thoughts.
Her appearance flickered for a moment, and then she disappeared.
It’s a transparent ghillie suit that’s been turned inside out.
Go Hyun-woo’s eyes sparkled.
‘then.’
And then, with momentum building, he kicked off the cloud platform.
Meanwhile, Hong Yeon-hwa was also keeping an eye on Seo Ye-in, and was able to immediately sense that she was in hiding.
‘But why?’
Why now of all times?
Rather than Go Hyun-woo, more sparks were sent down to Seo Ye-in.
Because the long-ranged calligrapher is more threatening, the more you keep her in check, the less counterattacks you’ll get.
But it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding simply to avoid being checked.
It certainly seems like there is another intention behind it… … .
Soon, Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyebrows shot up.
‘… … Ah! Weapon!’
Looking back, the calligrapher’s magic gun could be transformed into many forms.
Such as assault rifles, shotguns, or sniper rifles.
And what best suits this situation is,
‘It was probably a sniper shot.’
The assault rifle is blocked by three layers of defensive magic and does little damage, so it seems like they’re trying to win with a sniper rifle that hits hard with a single shot.
‘Can you stop… me?’
It’s still precarious, but will I be able to withstand the sniping?
I feel like it’ll just break through… … .
Hong Yeon-hwa looked at Kim Ho, feeling a little uneasy, but he answered nonchalantly.
“Don’t worry.”
“……huh.”
I guess you’ve already prepared something.
Hong Yeon-hwa felt a sense of strength and relief at the same time at the sight of her relaxed appearance.
Kim Ho added a word to that.
“Rather, now is the opportunity.”
It takes quite some time to transform the magic gun into another form.
That means, during that time, you can cast magic without being interrupted by the calligrapher.
“Let’s finish this up, us too.”
“… … !”
Hong Yeon-hwa immediately figured out Kim Ho’s intentions.
If the opponent makes a move, shouldn’t we counter with a move of our own?
And the winning move she has is,
‘Large-scale magic.’
I’ve already thought about what would be best suited for this battlefield.
I just haven’t had time to take it out yet.
But now the time has come.
A circular magic circle appeared beneath Hong Yeon-hwa’s feet.
The magic circle quickly expanded its range and grew large enough to extend beyond the cloud platform.
And then complex rituals began to fill it.
‘This is truly a winning move.’
Go Hyun-woo’s eyes lit up as he looked at the magic circle that suddenly appeared.
As expected, Kim Ho seems to want them to clash as their last resort.
If you look at the way he responds with large-scale magic as if he had been waiting for it.
That was also why he desperately climbed up the cloud platform.
The restraint that had been flowing like water was stopped, and Hong Yeon-hwa was forced to stay on top of the magic circle.
If so, then this might be your first and last chance.
– Blame!
Go Hyun-woo kicked the stool hard.
And finally, we reached the same level as the Kim Ho-Hong Yeon Hwa team.
The two people looked at each other and smiled faintly.
“Are you here?”
“You’re here.”
That was the end of the conversation.
Go Hyun-woo presented the pre-prepared meal.
The golden magic sword that was moving smoothly pointed at Kim Ho.
Then a soft wind blew in that direction as well.
[Clear stream]
Kim Ho stood guard over Hong Yeon-hwa and planted the dark-colored spear on the step.
Beside him, a fist-sized dark cloud was floating, seemingly summoned at some point.
Then, Kim Ho waved his hand lightly,
-Whew!
In an instant, the wind concentrated and formed a whirlwind, which slowly moved forward.
And as the soft wind and the whirlwind collide,
– Kagagagagak!
There was a sound of two soldiers clashing against each other.
The whirlwind disintegrated first, but Go Hyun-woo’s Cheongryu also lost most of its strength.
Then, some of the black energy bounced off toward Kim Ho,
“… … .”
Kim Ho seemed to have anticipated that as well, and moved the dark clouds here and there to easily block them.
And then again, wave one hand gently.
-Whew—
“this……!”
Go Hyun-woo immediately flew backwards as the wind blew from all directions.
Because I had watched it from Kim Ho’s side many times, I knew that it was a sign of a whirlwind.
And after the whirlwind gathered,
– Phew!
It used to just explode.
As expected, the cloud platform that had been there had disappeared without a trace.
Kim Ho didn’t stop there and continued to use spiral explosions.
Go Hyun-woo avoided it by jumping from one platform to another, but he licked his lips in regret.
‘I wanted to exchange more hand gestures, but is this it?’
Now, all we can do is hope that Lady Seo will do well.
– Boom!
At that moment, a heavy gunshot rang out from somewhere.
Hong Yeon-hwa had the illusion that a blue line was being drawn towards her from there.
Dark clouds suddenly appeared on the line, but the magic bullet easily pierced through the dark clouds and instantly shattered the three layers of defensive magic, striking Hong Yeon-hwa’s body.
– Boom!
“eww……!”
[Hong Yeon-hwa 98%]
[Hong Yeon-hwa 95%]
Fortunately, the damage was not extensive.
This is because it acts as a kind of cushion while all defensive magics are pierced.
Hong Yeon-hwa continued casting, which had been on hiatus for a while.
‘Just a little more… … !’
As if he wasn’t going to let that happen, a second sniper shot flew in shortly after.
– Boom—!
[Hong Yeon-hwa 89%]
‘… … !’
Hong Yeon-hwa’s body swayed violently.
Because the shield was less restored, the impact and damage were greater than before.
But there will be no third sniper.
Because despite the continued interference, the large-scale magic was finally completed.
– Whoosh whoosh!
Hong Yeon-hwa raised her wand high.
A huge flame rose from the magic circle at his feet and took the shape of a phoenix.
Soon the phoenix flapped its wings vigorously, and hundreds of fiery feathers fell from the sky, filling the sky with rain.
[Phoenix Flutter]
– Whoosh, whoosh,
As the feathers pour down like rain and touch the cloud platforms, flames spread like wildfire.
One of them even set Ko Hyun-woo’s shoulder on fire, but he paid no attention and focused on the scene unfolding before his eyes.
“You are a minister.”
– Whoosh whoosh!
The cloud platforms were all burned and scattered before I had time to drink a glass of water.
The sky, where there had been scattered stepping stones, was now cleanly emptied.
Having lost their footing, Go Hyun-woo and Seo Ye-in had no choice but to fall down.
“… … .”
Meanwhile, Go Hyun-woo turned his head and looked at Seo Ye-in.
He has a sullen expression and one side of his gray hair is on fire.
For some reason, Go Hyun-woo felt cheerful.
“Haha, Miss Seo. We lost.”
“Kim Ho is dead.”
[Kim Ho Hong Yeon Hwa Win]
VS
[Lose by Koh Hyun-woo, calligrapher]
Hong Yeon-hwa looked at the scoreboard with a face full of joy.
‘I won… …!’
I got 2 wins!
I expected Kim Ho to win somehow since he was on the same team as me, but I thought he would have a hard time since his opponents were Go Hyun Woo and Seo Ye In.
But when I actually played the game according to his instructions, I was able to win much more easily than I expected.
Even in moments when I felt a sense of crisis, he stepped forward and resolved everything.
Hong Yeon-hwa once again confirmed that Kim Ho was a surefire guarantee of victory.
The two left the stadium almost at the same time.
When their eyes met, Kim Ho said something indifferently.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Oh, oh! You worked hard too… … .”
Kim Ho turned around and walked out of the arena.
It looks like they’ve already played all three of their quota matches.
Hong Yeon-hwa was staring blankly at his back when something suddenly crossed her mind.
So she hurriedly chased after him.
“Over there, over there!”
“why?”
Kim Ho answers indifferently.
Hong Yeon-hwa said, moving her gaze here and there.
“Well… … . My sister asked me to come over once… … .”
“now?”
“Is it okay… … if… … ?”
Hong Yeon-hwa has received help from Kim Ho in various ways so far.
During the mentoring period, I was given customized training to help me learn how to operate Fire Pillar, and through that operation, I was able to achieve an easy victory over Bukgung Hanseol.
The same goes for the midterm exam on an uninhabited island.
At that time, Hong Yeon-hwa was left alone because her partner was incapacitated, but Kim Ho readily shared a place to rest.
And he even exchanged them to complete the crystal set.
If it weren’t for that, it wouldn’t have been so easy to achieve a high score.
For the above reasons, Hong Ye-hwa invited Kim Ho to visit the club room when he had time.
As a way to repay your gratitude and to give advice on your future career path,
‘There are things to check… … and… … ?’
However, since I had vaguely said, “When I have time,” Kim Ho only replied that he understood and there was no response at all.
So, it was just a few days ago that Hong Ye-hwa asked, “When is he coming?” and she remembered that and called Kim Ho over.
After hearing Hong Yeon-hwa’s explanation, Kim Ho seemed to think about something for a moment.
And then he nodded his head coolly, perhaps thinking that he couldn’t put it off any longer.
“Okay, let’s go.”
