#184
184. Just for once (8)
To put it bluntly, Rogue was the most advantageous class in this Battle Royale final.
In the final round, where the number of participants is small and the map is narrow, other occupations can also play an active role to some extent. However, the story is different for large-scale events with about 100 participants.
[Number of survivors – 21]
I looked up at the top of the screen.
There are 21 survivors left. The sewage that had been fighting randomly had already been filtered out.
It was now unlikely that a major all-out war would break out between the survivors. Everyone must be aiming for fisherman geography.
If an all-out war did not take place, stealth and surprise attacks were possible, and it was a monopoly of thieves who were excellent at finding enemies.
“Are you glad you came to our party?”
Sadine said softly.
“Imagine if I was alone. I couldn’t farm items, and I would have been attacked by another party. It’s so convenient because there are thieves.
“…”
this woman
I felt it yesterday too, but there are too many words.
Especially after a skirmish over ownership of the building. Because I dumped three people on my own.
“Han, the fight earlier was impressive. It was excellent. I don’t know how a level 40 master came up with a talent like you, but consider the offer carefully. If it’s you and me…”
I looked at the holographic map.
Safe zone marked with a white circle. We were settled in a shopping district in a small town in the middle. It was an egg yolk area full of high-end items, and simple traps were installed at all exits, including windows, to detect an opponent’s intrusion.
Good quality leather armor and a useful longsword.
Throwing daggers and even crossbows. All are enchanted.
The same goes for consumables. I think I’ve done enough farming now.
“Our Rakueria is. It’s seven stories tall and has various luxurious facilities…”
‘Team 4.’
Of the 21 people, 17 of them work as a team.
The other four were solo users.
As a result of the 4-star assassins belonging to the same party as me, constantly going back and forth outside,
The composition of the enemy and the area of activity were mostly known.
It is also useful. If I had moved alone, I would not have gotten this information.
“How was the drink I gave you yesterday? Wasn’t it very delicious?
Jenna, I hope the party is going well.
By now, the finals of the team event should be in full swing.
The solo exhibition, which starts in the afternoon, is still on standby.
‘I’m curious, but.’
For now, I decided to focus on my work.
After tallying up the points I gathered yesterday, I had to win all three major events in order to be ranked first overall. Because the score of the mini game that Amkena played was hopeless.
I leaned my back against the wall.
There is still some time before the next access restriction.
There’s no need to fight, so take it easy… … .
<Brother, can you hear me?>
I opened my eyes.
<That’s me. It’s Jenna.>
The magic stone hidden in his bosom emits a weak light.
Katio’s communication stone. It was an item I had for emergencies. I was able to hide it somehow by putting it in the gap of the collar.
“Have a seat.”
“Where are you going? A strategy meeting in the middle of nowhere…”
“restroom.”
I answered briefly and went up the stairs.
After a certain distance, I held the communication stone in my hand.
And he opened his mouth so as not to be noticed by the onlookers.
“What’s going on?”
<Ah, I can hear you. I thought it was broken.>
“I’m a bit busy right now. I’m in the middle of a game.”
<Sorry. I have something to report.>
Jenna continued.
<In the game, Edith was poisoned.>
“…”
<The recovery potion doesn’t work. I think it’s a special paralysis poison. Even if you ask for an antidote, they won’t give it to you. It’s the next game soon, what should I do?>
I sighed.
<For now, Kishasha unnie and I will try it together.>
“It’s impossible to win the championship with two people. There’s also Niflheim.”
If you win the runner-up in even one event, the ticket goes over water.
this.
<I’m sorry, brother. He said he was so confident… … .>
“How long until the next match?”
<About 10 minutes.>
“That’ll be enough. Take Belquist from the individual arena. There won’t be any restrictions on participation.”
<Yes? what is that… … .>
“Didn’t you see the pamphlet? As long as the affiliation is the same, there are no restrictions on player substitution.”
<Then you’re having an individual competition! Leave Brother Bell alone, and if the two of us hold out and find a way to restore Edith sister… … .>
“The effect will last for at least 3 hours, but it will be over until the finals. Hey, don’t talk nonsense and do as you are told. Take Belquist and make Edith a pinch hitter. Win unconditionally. Do you want to see the master sucking?”
<Individual exhibition… … .>
“I’m leaving.”
I cut off communication.
There was a clock on the holographic map.
10:57 am. It was 12 noon when the finals of the individual competition began.
“What took you so long? Rather, the proposal from earlier…”
sereung.
I drew the sword from the scabbard.
The location of all enemies was identified. The same goes for the location of the allies.
The two troublesome thieves were buried with the magic item Chujonghyang in advance. I stepped on the window and prepared to jump.
“Now, wait, what are you trying to do?! Our strategy is as late as possible…!”
“Circumstances have changed. Don’t worry. I won’t betray you until there are 4 left.”
“yes?”
“And don’t drink crap drinks like mint choco.”
thud.
I jumped from a height of several meters and landed on the floor.
At the same time, an arrow flew aiming at the forehead. I swung my left hand. The arrow shaft was held at the fingertips. A team was hiding in the building right in front of them.
I finished the calculation in an instant.
Including the distance traveled… … .
Is there 10 minutes left?
‘Whoa.’
I didn’t want to write as much as possible.
I flipped the switch in my head.
[‘Han (★★★★)’ has entered Exceed state!]
“Come out! You bastards!”
and.
[Wait, great! I couldn’t imagine. This is the follicle meta. After all, the mad dog of Battle Royale! I hope you will participate in the next event as well. Here are the prizes and the winning trophy, the golden frying pan… … .]
I snatched the Advent Stone from the talking fairy’s hand.
The aftereffects of Exceed made his vision dizzy. I passed the fairy standing dumbfounded, and then made my way through her crowd.
[for a moment! The golden frying pan!]
“Take that trash with you.”
[Huh!]
I left the arena with a recovery potion in my mouth.
Current time, 11:41. The shuttle bus does not operate during this time.
‘Amkena.’
will be watching
You too know the importance of the situation.
Edith is injured. It was a risk of missing the 5-star summon right.
[Master, ‘Han (★★★★)’ is asking for help!]
Amkena immediately launched tactical tools.
Wiing. A red arrow was drawn in the sky.
I ran at full speed along the four-lane road in the direction the arrow pointed.
A bright red sports car was speeding down the road.
I jumped out of the lane and ran into the sports car. My eyes met the man in the driver’s seat.
“Now, wait, you…”
bang!
When I kicked the front door with all my might, the iron plate that became a rag flew away.
I pulled the floundering man out of the driver’s seat and threw him onto the road.
“Hey, what are you! You crazy! I’m a full-time employee of Moebius…”
I sat in the driver’s seat.
I grabbed the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
“Hey you crazy bastard! What are you doing!”
Whoops!
There was an intense motor sound, and the sports car started to accelerate.
I stepped on the accelerator and continued to accelerate.
I continued driving, smashing the obstacles in my way with my car.
The front of the luxurious sports car is tattered, but it’s none of my business.
I took out the communication stone with my left hand.
“Han. How did it go?”
<Brother Bell said he would remember it.>
“That’s scary.”
<Anyway, there are three of us. But is it possible? Battle royale matches take so long… … .>
“Focus on your game. You know what if you don’t win even after putting on a show like this?
<Uh… … I’ll focus.>
“Okay, I’ll hang up.”
woo.
I spit out the pooled blood at the corner of my mouth.
The whole body was covered with wounds. It was the result of a combination of a minor injury and the aftereffects of Exceed.
Woo woo woo!
The dashboard on the steering wheel indicated 200 km/h.
curve road. I turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brake. Awesome profit! Dark skid marks were drawn on the road with the smell of burning tires.
11:53.
7 minutes left.
A view of the stadium was visible in the distance.
<Did you see this stupid thief! If you get caught, you’re tracked!>
propeller sound.
I looked up and saw a helicopter following me.
I reached out my left hand toward the helicopter and raised my middle finger.
Then, without hesitation, I stepped on the accelerator.
The sports car made its way through the iron fence three times in a row.
<Twaaaaagh! My limited Limborghini… … !>
11:57.
We arrived at the parking lot in front of the stadium.
Awesome! I drove to the entrance of the stadium, avoiding the buses blocking the front.
There was a crowd of spectators at the entrance to the stadium.
“What is that?”
“It’s like coming here…”
baaaaang!
I pressed the horn and pushed on.
“Oops!”
“What, what! Why are you here!”
“Quaaaaagh! Bounce!”
bang!
The sports car that smashed the glass door at the entrance stopped moving only after entering the interior.
Smoke was rising from the front of the car along with flames.
‘Ha, I’ll look for it.’
There wasn’t a single place that didn’t get stabbed.
rattle. I opened the tattered car door on the other side and got out.
“uh…….”
I made eye contact with the employee wearing the employee ID card around his neck.
“I’m a participant in the individual competition. I’m here for the finals.”
“Hey, you can go over there.”
Pew!
The sports car that was stuck in the wall exploded.
I said pointing back.
“Take care of that.”
“Ah, yes… I’ll call the firefighters…”
I proceeded to the aisle pointed out by the staff.
Limping on one foot, he took a second potion from his bag and drank it.
“Player Belquist! Is there any player from Taoneer’s Belquist? If you don’t come up, you’ll be disqualified!”
The referee standing on the square stage is calling out the next participant.
Belquist, was it your first match?
‘I think I was looking forward to it, but I’m sorry about this.’
I smiled and approached the stage.
The opponent was already on the stage.
“Didn’t he run away? It’s annoying to wait. Please disqualify me quickly.”
“Okay. Then we’ll treat it as a bye.”
“Don’t bullshit.”
I walked up the stairs and onto the stage.
The eyes of the people sitting in the bleachers were focused. Aaron was among them. He looked at me and his eyes widened. You look pretty happy
“Hey, who are you? It looks like you’re seriously injured.”
“Pinch hit.”
“Pinch hitter? There’s no such rule.”
A female staff member ran up the stage and whispered in the referee’s ear.
The referee’s expression changed moment by moment.
“…”
The referee looked at me and gave me a tired look.
“Are you sure the winner of this Battle Royale, Han Israt of Taoni?”
I nodded.
“……I admit my participation.”
“What? Duplicate participation! What kind of ridiculous rules are there!”
my opponent,
The ax-clad giant’s face turned red.
“Since the three major events are held almost simultaneously, I thought this would not happen. Next time, we will revise the rules so that overlapping participation is not possible.”
“You’ve gone out of your mind. Well, that’s good! I’ll split your head.”
The giant spat on his hand and hit the ground with a large axe.
“Your whole body is covered in blood, but it seems like you’ve lived and died. Can you win?”
bloodiness.
That’s not wrong.
No matter how much I am, I can’t be safe against many 4-star people.
Here, the aftereffects of Exceed overlapped.
pop.
Blood ran down his forehead and dripped onto the arena floor.
“Where did you leave your weapons? Are you going to fight bare-handed?”
I didn’t bring my sword.
Because the staff in charge was in a hurry to find the key.
“I don’t know if it’s a pinch hitter or a head, but you’ve come to look for it! Would you like to taste the blood in a while? Hahaha!”
The guy let out a sinister laugh.
I caught my breath.
There is no break time.
This should go all the way to the finals.
It’s fun.
A decent penalty.
“I’ll even punch you…”
I stretched out my right hand behind me.
Bang!
Bifrost flew through the ceiling and landed on the stage floor.
I grabbed the hilt and drew my sword.
“Huh?!”
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle.
Aaron, who was in the bleachers, stood up and shouted.
“Brother! Cheer up!”
After laughing, I turned the blade of the sword.
