Episode 252 Week 14 Battle (4)
[Kim Ho 763 points, Seo Ye-in 775 points]
vs
[Wang Gon 698 points, Jang Oh 828 points]
Salsu Duo.
For some reason, this week we only had two games, but we were matched up with promising prospects in succession.
Moreover, the assassin class is the natural enemy of the ranged class.
The Musketeer has excellent mobility and is relatively worth trying, but it still has its disadvantages.
‘It actually turned out well.’
It doesn’t seem like a bad idea to take this opportunity to gain some practical experience.
Although the calligrapher himself seems to want to quickly finish the actual combat experience and such, he will probably be motivated when the actual battle breaks out.
We took the time to do a final check before going in.
“Please stick them on neatly.”
“Pointy pointy.”
“Prepare a hot pack.”
“Hot pack.”
“Wear a hood to keep warm.”
“hood.”
“Let’s go.”
“It harms.”
And then he stepped into the teleportation magic circle.
-Wheww!
A blizzard that hits you in the face immediately and mercilessly.
The calligrapher’s enthusiasm, which was rising slightly, suddenly drops.
“… … I want to go out.”
“Okay, let’s finish this quickly and go.”
“now.”
“Okay, let’s get started right away.”
I accepted it naturally, and the countdown began right on time.

[Start!]
[Kim Ho 100% Calligrapher 100%]
vs
[Wang Gon 100% Jang Oh 100%]
“We will move together in this game.”
“huh.”
I was the only one who could keep the Park Na-ri-Jung Soo-ji duo in check, mainly because they were a holding combination with low attack power, and the difference in mobility was due to the presence or absence of the pointy soles.
On the other hand, if we divide up the roles now, it will actually be disadvantageous.
Because the opponent’s attack power is enormous, and there is no guarantee that the calligrapher will be able to withstand it.
So I walked alongside him and asked.
“Which side is Crystal on?”
“hey.”
“great.”
A calligrapher slowly raises his hand and points in a direction.
Even in this bitter cold, the Bokdeungi radar appears to be functioning normally.
Sure enough, after walking a little, I noticed something standing out in the flurry of snow.
A makeshift altar and a crystal placed on it.
After retrieving the crystal, we turned towards the sanctuary.
“Let’s go recharge.”
“huh.”
But we soon had to slow down.
Because two human silhouettes were blocking the way.
Of course, they were Jang Oh and Wang Gon, or more precisely, Jang Mugeuk and Wang Chun-sam.
I waved my hand lightly and asked the question that had occurred to me earlier.
“Are you going to keep your pseudonym? Jang-oh-Wang-gon?”
I said it was copper before.
The two people spoke one by one with trembling expressions.
“… … We don’t keep using it because we like it.”
“But isn’t it something that can’t be changed too often?”
What this means is that I have no choice but to keep that pseudonym for the time being.
If I had written it in a plausible way from the beginning, there would have been no need to change it so often, but I decided to do so because I fully understand the current situation.
Then, the two people looked at the calligrapher at the same time.
In reality, it’s our first time meeting, but we seem to know that we always hang out together.
That’s why Jang Moo-geuk asked a little playfully.
“Are you my sister-in-law?”
Wang Chun-sam also raised the corners of his lips and corrected his words.
“I think the expression ‘sister-in-law’ would be more appropriate.”
“Then doesn’t that mean Kim Ho is your older brother?”
“Isn’t that more like a younger sibling?”
“If not both, then I think you look good in person.”
These guys really fight over trivial things.
I stepped in to mediate.
“Guys, stop fighting because neither of you are the same.”
The premise is wrong from the start.
Why are my sister-in-law and brother-in-law here when we’re not even dating?
The calligrapher nodded slightly and pointed at me.
“butler.”
“Not the butler anymore.”
I decided to get to the point quickly because I thought it would get more confusing the longer I left it.
“Let’s make the replay private and fight at our original level.”
Since Jang-Oh and Wang-Gon are undercover, they tend to hide their skills during official duels and battles.
So, even though a prospect with a 0.8 prospect level is paired with another prospect with a 0.8 prospect level, their score is similar to ours.
However, since sticking with that state won’t help you gain real-world experience, I suggested sticking with your original skills.
Jang Mu-geuk and Wang Chun-sam looked at each other, nodded, and said something to each other.
“Since you already know my identity, there’s no need to hide it.”
“Besides, aren’t there still unfinished battles between us?”
When the battle was 2 vs. 1 due to the instigation of the Black Sword faction, the vanguard intervened and the battle was hushed up.
So, I guess I was secretly waiting for a chance to rematch, and now that the number of people is 2 to 2, I think it’s appropriate.
Jang Moo-geuk also confirmed this with the calligrapher.
“Is your sister-in-law okay?”
The calligrapher tilted his head and looked at me.
“Will it be over soon?”
“I guess so.”
I don’t need anything else, I guess I just want to get out of this cold place quickly.
Of course, since the opponent had two survivors, it was going to be a short fight regardless of whether they won or lost.
It was faster to render those two incapacitated than to charge the crystal.
– Crunch,
Seeing the calligrapher loading his magic gun, Jang Moo-geuk seemed to think he had heard the answer.
“Okay, then let’s begin.”
“… … .”
The four of us immediately entered battle mode.
I checked the other person’s feet first.
‘You bought it.’
A shoe with a pointed sole.
Word of the game would have spread like wildfire through the students who played their first game, and most would have prepared for the snowstorm and ice.
‘They also buy water.’
Since each mission involves life and death, gathering information and preparing in advance is essential.
Maybe the items weren’t prepared from the first match?
In summary,
‘It means there is no difference in items.’
It’s actually better because we’ll be able to compete with pure skill versus skill.
I casted grant and amplify.
[octopus]
[grant]
[Grants ‘Elemental Resistance (S)’ to the target.]
[Rank of granted ‘Elemental Resistance’: B]
[Grants ‘Distortion’ to the target.]
[Duration 00:14:58]
[Reuse Wait Time 02:19:58]
[Use ‘amplify’.]
[The grade of ‘Elemental Resistance’ increases. (B→S)]
[Duration 00:09:58]
[Reuse Wait Time 01:19:58]
It could have been amplified more evenly, but then the intention of giving calligraphers practical experience would have been lost.
If they were only concerned with winning, they wouldn’t have even suggested that those two show their true abilities in the first place.
‘You also have to manage the cooldown time.’
I don’t know what will happen this week.
If you overuse Octopus Legs in PvP, the cooldown time may increase too much, and the buffs and amplification may be tied up at important moments.
So, to be a little more active in the cold, [Elemental Resistance],
And it stopped at the line of giving [distortion] with the intention of giving one more chance.
“… … !”
The calligrapher seemed to be less cold, perhaps because she had four hot packs and S-class elemental resistance.
He alternates between looking at Jang Moo-geuk and Wang Chun-sam, then picks up an assault rifle and launches a preemptive strike.
– Doo doo doo doo!
The two split to the sides to avoid the pouring magic bullets.
He closes the distance at a frightening speed while following the path of the sword.
Jang Moo-geuk is on my side, and Wang Chun-sam is on the calligrapher’s side.
-Boom!
A fist-sized dark cloud rose from the sky.
While wrapping it around the sapling, I cast Windforce and Chillwind simultaneously towards Jangmu-geuk.
-Whew—
Even though he was slowed down, Jang Mu-geuk’s advance was still rapid.
At the moment of clashing, I drew my sword that had been hanging down,
– Kagakak,
I crossed and shed the seedlings at the right time.
As soon as Jang Mu-geuk passed me, he turned around, changed his target to the calligrapher, and charged at me.
‘That was the plan from the beginning.’
The intention was to grab my attention for a moment, then turn away and take down the calligrapher first.
The intention was somewhat successful, as the two assassins attacked the calligrapher from two different directions.
Of course, I wasn’t the one who just watched.
“Jump.”
“Jump.”
At my direction, the calligrapher jumped up and down in place, casting a feather step.
– Boom!
When I used Windforce, it flew towards me in a parabolic arc.
And as soon as he lands next to me, he takes up his stance and continues shooting.
– Doo doo doo!
“this…….”
Jang Mu-geuk and Wang Chun-sam looked momentarily flustered when their opponent, whom they thought they had almost caught, suddenly flew away, but they flew away to avoid the magic bullets that were shooting at them.
However, he is unable to avoid them all, and a couple of them graze Wang Chun-sam, damaging him.
[Wang Gon 97%]
[Wang Gon 93%]
The waters that come crashing down in the same manner.
I made the dark clouds float near the calligrapher and then planted the sapling on the ground.
And then he reached out.
[branch line]
[Chillwind]
[Windforce]
-Wheww!
“It’s annoying.”
Wang Chun-sam was impressed.
Not only is it a problem that you keep getting pushed around, but as the cold air overlaps, your speed decreases.
[Wang Gon 93% Jang Oh 97%]
In addition, Chillwind’s freezing enhancement effect doubles the power of the blizzard, so even stamina that was barely reduced is now reduced little by little.
However, it seems that his target is still fixed on the calligrapher, and this time he stabs him with his sword from two directions.
While I was repelling Wang Chun-sam’s attack,
The calligrapher evaded Zhang Wujiu’s sword with a feather-like step.
However, as if it had expected it, the tip of the sword shook as it pursued me, and its trajectory was changed when it collided with the dark cloud I had sent away.
A calligrapher aims a gun during that short gap.
– Doo doo doo!
Even though they were fired from a fairly close range, Jang Moo-geuk dodged the magic bullets by moving around.
As expected from a promising prospect, his use of the law is also top-notch.
And as they distance themselves, the two killers each throw a knife.
– Wedge!
‘For attention.’
The real thing was next, so I roughly struck the knife and fixed my gaze on them.
As expected, Jang Moo-geuk’s sword was covered in a thin layer of steel energy that was difficult to notice.
And as I took a few steps forward, the trail began to fade away.
As if I were a ghost.
‘Ghostless.’
When I glanced to the side, I saw that Jang Moo-geuk had also used Ghostly Shadow at the same time, and he was closing the distance with stealthy and smooth movements at incredible speed.
In an instant, he reached the calligrapher and was about to swing his sword,
– Flash!
The calligrapher cast Bullet Time.
Gray eyes capture the trajectories of two blades.
And then, in an instant, the sound faded away,
“Slurp.”
He escaped the onslaught of assassins with a sliding movement.
I saw it in bullet time and got out as a ghost shadow.
“… … !”
“… … !”
As the sword strike that was expected to hit without fail cut through the air, the two assassins looked visibly flustered.
I looked around anxiously, but the calligrapher had already taken a position a short distance away and was aiming his gun.
The magic gun continued to shoot blue fire.
– Doo doo doo doo!
Magic bullets struck Wang Chun-sam from his shoulder to his side, causing an explosion.
“Ugh… … !”
[Wang Gon 91%]
[Wang Gon 64%]
The two people were so surprised that they couldn’t speak for a long time, their eyes wide open.
Then Jang Mu-geuk asked.
“… … How did this happen?”
“Didn’t I tell you?”
He learned it too.
The supporters ate it all
