chapter 442
442 – Hiding in the Blizzard
Jo Gi-man was filled with a slight sense of superiority and let out a bitter laugh.
Whenever he makes that mysterious smile, you can feel the seven-headed dragon’s secret gaze behind you.
When entering this dungeon, the Seven-Headed Dragon’s energy became very dim for some reason, and after a while, it even stopped responding.
Jo Gi-man knows that there is a high probability that ‘blue eyes’ were involved when the seven-headed dragon showed this appearance.
However, judging by the scenery that unfolded before my eyes, I was not worried that this place had anything to do with blue eyes.
Blue eyes are evil spirits who need to ‘taste’ anything to be relieved of their anger.
A world involving such monsters could not be this beautiful.
“It’s my first time here, so it’s refreshing, but… What on earth is going on here? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be a world connected to Blue Eyes. Are there other gods? “
Jo Gi-man couldn’t meet anyone meaningful even though he traveled for a full day.
Since all I could see was a huge lake continuing, I started to feel irritated.
He continued to move along a slightly different path, but strictly speaking, it felt like he was hovering in the same place.
It was clear that we had entered a complicated maze created by a powerful being.
And since it could be the entity that Jogiman is looking for, his expectations were raised to the highest level.
The incarnation of the seven-headed dragon who somehow turns his head and uses all his abilities to slowly unravel the very messy threads.
“No matter what, this will take a long time. It will take a week.”
Kkkdeudeuk-
Jo Gi-man pulled out a heavy-bodied corpse from space and began to tear off his arms.
Ugjeok- Wajik-
Jogiman’s subspace, which could store up to 500 corpses, was much larger than the subspace of ordinary hunters.
Since the food was always filled with grass, it was no problem to last a week, but he wanted something new to eat rather than a cold corpse.
“I’m hungry. I need something fresh and soft like ‘Shayna Lane.'”
Shayna Lane, a transcendent from Australia.
A girl who was a particularly delicacy suddenly came to mind.
“It tastes fantastic any time you eat it.”
In the end, he said something unpleasant and committed suicide, but since he didn’t experience anything unpleasant after that, the incident was slowly being forgotten.
“Ugh, just take one.”
After so much patience, it was quite a long time before Jo Gi-man met someone he was interested in.
* * *
A few days after defeating the great villain.
I have a small concern.
‘The next target of the great villain has not appeared.’
It’s not like there are no bad guys in our country. Why don’t they connect me to the next guy?
‘Isn’t there a suitable partner for me?’
The system always has the will to elevate the awakened to a higher level.
A person who is stronger than Haserin but more evil than him.
Or, matching with a person who satisfies the conditions and has abilities that can be helpful to me may only be possible when more conditions are met than I thought.
I made several courageous attempts to enter the small gate created in the dungeon over the course of several days.
However, they all lead to dungeons with a much lower level, so it was essentially a waste of time.
Fortunately, I was connected to a dungeon with plenty of food, such as Big Bore or Hanjaling, so I was able to find some fun in stocking up on delicious food, but that was it.
Because at my current level, there is no point in killing a normal grade Orc or Lesser Dire Wolf.
Of course, most of the clumsy monster corpses were invested in [Border Sanctuary].
The ‘my own little space’ that I could hold in one hand has now become quite large, making it a space that can easily fit at least a few people.
‘Going to another place through the gate… Even if the efficiency is low, there is no other way. I’ll have to keep trying.’
Since I have failed in a row, I hope that I will be able to enter a place with a high level of difficulty like the last time on my next attempt.
Unlike me, Yeonhee and her colleagues she were growing rapidly.
It seems clear that growth is faster when I’m not around.
Listening to the story, it was not that there was no crisis, but the presence of ‘Castle’ and ‘Geomryongi’ offset most of the threats.
‘Of course. Castle is a grade A summon. Geomryong has also grown up and is no longer the Drake he used to be.’
Anyway, as of now, we are facing a guild war.
This competition, in which 16 guilds participate, will last for two days like the guild representative selection competition.
Due to the nature of the confrontation between awakened people, a great deal of attention was focused even though it was a short match.
It attracts viewers not only from our country but also from other countries, which also reflects the current reality where exchanges with other countries have become difficult.
This was because it was very rare to officially broadcast a battle between awakened people live.
“Is this what monkeys at the zoo feel like?”
Noh Hayun answers Yeonhee’s question from a distance with a slightly flushed expression.
“Well, why don’t you just enjoy this moment without thinking too much?”
We had the misfortune to face each other from the first game.
Across from there was Noh Hayun, who had been partying with Yeonhee until yesterday.
The shouting that explodes like a cannon continues without even knowing what is going on here.
The circular spectator area is protected by a powerful magical barrier, and in the middle of it is a stadium the size of two soccer fields.
“Please do your best. I will do the same.”
Noh Hayun looked at Yeonhee and me in turns and asked us to do our best.
Of course, Yeonhee responded wholeheartedly, but I had a slightly different opinion.
‘If we don’t last long and are eliminated in the round of 16, we may remove Noh Hayun from our party.’
I have no intention of handing over Noh Hayun, who has now completely integrated into our party. Even if it is one of the top 3 guilds in Korea run by my mother.
‘How much did I invest in Noh Hayun?’
In any case, we need to at least raise awareness that we have done a good job against us so that the ‘witches’ of the Vision Guild will be able to show their respect.
Biiiii───
While Yeonhee and Hayun were chatting awkwardly, a signal signaled the start of the game.
At this moment, tens of millions of viewers around the world must have held their breath.
Kwajajajak-
From the beginning, Noh Hayun blizzarded her area with an ice storm and even activated the family’s vision of her, [Icicle Symphony].
‘They want a quick match.’
In her her dungeon her her her, it was a long time since I had seen her her show off her her her her power her her her to her her full potential her her her.
In addition, her bond with [Perunox], The so-called god of ice and cold, was a major factor in the explosive growth of her abilities.
“Oh, three clones at once?”
[Icicle Symphony]’S pattern, which always showed only one alter ego and toyed with the enemy, has been greatly improved. Noh Hayun is charging towards us with quite a bit of force.
‘You were hiding it from us.’
Noh Hayun kept her developed skills hidden.
It was clear that she had been thinking about fighting us in this competition for quite some time.
Three clones rushing towards each other with different expressions.
One of them must be the main body, and even though a pure white snowstorm engulfed the area, I easily figured out what the main body was through the waves of my senses.
‘That’s amazing. There is no body among the three? When did we move back?’
‘Seolchang’ began to materialize one by one in the hands of an alter ego that was identical in appearance to Noh Hayun.
The Alpha 3 ran forward and lightly struck down the flying ‘Seolchang’.
They immediately start a counterattack.
Kwajangchangchang─!
“Huh? Aren’t all three of them the main body?”
As expected, Noh Hayun was not among the clones that were destroyed at the same time due to the joint attack of the three Alpha-class people, and before we knew it, Noh Hayun appeared behind us and exploded with magical power.
A huge spear materialized from her staff and flew towards Yeonhee.
However, Yeonhee summoned Castle to the front and easily blocked the attack.
‘There is no need for me to intervene. The summoning speed has become incredibly fast.’
– Waa—─!!
Following several battles that took place in seconds, the audience was astonished when a giant golem with magical energy appeared.
The audience’s enthusiastic reaction brings big smiles to the faces of the tournament officials in the VIP section.
A summoner who wields a giant golem?!
As expected, this was a box office hit.
There was already talk that they were planning a higher level league for guild competition, and looking at their greedy faces, I felt like I knew who was pushing it.
‘We are risking our lives in this competition.’
Because the safety of participants is not guaranteed, there are only a few countries that hold such crazy competitions.
It may be incomprehensible that our country, which has a strong conservative tendency, is included in such a country, but it may be because it is a country with a strangely high proportion of awakened people.
It was a great surprise attack.
Noh Hayun only slightly cracked the side wall of the castle.
She furrowed her brows and hid herself in her blizzard again.
Can we find a way to break through the castle’s defenses?
‘Being able to move freely in a blizzard… Arcane magic is a way to increase its power by linking several magics.
The deceptive ability to use a skill that is no different from the [Blink] Skill I use when I am in the [Combat type] Mode of lightning armor, several times in a short period of time.
However, it was clear that Noh Hayun was overexerting herself, as her magical power was rapidly dropping even though it had only been a short time since the game started.
‘Nothing good will come of waiting too long. It’s an excellent choice.’
The summons ‘Black Swan’, ‘Nephy’, and Dire Wolf were stuck due to a blizzard and were unable to show their power. As soon as ’embodiment’ is summoned, the body freezes and is released.
Next, Noh Hayun easily blocked Yeonhee’s [Provocation] Attack with special earplugs.
‘It’s actually a battle of many people… But it’s amazing.’
It is another pleasure to see the growth of a talent who is guaranteed to become an S-class hunter.
Hayun once again distracted our attention with her her three alter egos, and this time, Geomryong blocked Noh Hayun’s her magic by swinging her wings.
– Wow ──!!!
Just looking at its appearance, the sword dragon shows a more overwhelming appearance than ‘Castle’.
That guy even has a space movement skill that is not much different from the skill Noh Hayun just showed.
Of course, there will be no need to show that in this competition.
Jiiiii──
“Even though the clone is broken, the sound doesn’t stop! It’s better to get out of range!”
The sound of an unknown chord flowing from the ice clone is slowly tightening our throats.
As time passes, its power will increase to an unbearable level.
In the end, Yeonhee chose to leave the castle space.
Because not even a castle can block sound.
As Yeonhee flies into the sky on Geomryong, Noh Hayun shows a sullen expression, with only his face clearly visible in the snowstorm.
“You decided not to run away to the sky!”
Yeonhee shrugs her shoulders in shock at Noh Hayun’s shout.
“Huh? Me? When did I do that?”
“Let’s compete head on with confidence!”
“Ah, I didn’t know that was what you meant… Wait a minute. Is hiding in a blizzard a direct battle?”
“Haa! Take it! Sulchang!! Sulchang!!”
“What is it? A sudden attack!”
Yeonhee and Hayun exchanged attacks for a while, but due to their position, Hayun ended up losing.
In the end, Noh Hayun shouts loudly to Yeonhee again to come down.
Two peerless beauties are being broadcast as they raise their voices and fight each other.
Perhaps, after this game, people who were not interested in the two will start to find out even the smallest details.
All kinds of videos were already uploaded before the competition started, and these two have now become famous stars across the country.
Kkulung─
After listening quietly to the two’s story for a while, Geomryong’s neck and neck caught a wave, and a black energy wave was shot out into the stadium in the shape of a fan.
“Wow?!”
Noh Hayun, who was started, hid herself again with her self-immolation, and while she was moving quickly, she unleashed a powerful snowstorm in the sky.
[Krrrr
Geomryong’s pupils were torn vertically as if the blizzard was quite bothersome, and the alpha-level three, who had grown angry at having continued to beat the clones in vain, were slowly showing their instinct for destruction.
The battle between Yeonhee and Noh Hayun continues for several minutes.
A truly elegant workshop that will delight the eyes of the audience.
‘I guess this is enough.’
Noh Hayun’s firepower is slowly decreasing, and the excitement of the summoned animals has reached its peak.
Seeek──
“Oh?”
I caught Hayun, who was hiding in the snowstorm and out of breath, behind her and lightly struck her neck with the blade of my hand.
Tuk-
No matter how well I hide, it’s within the palm of my hand within the realm of my senses.
“You Mr. Lee… It’s a foul…”
Whisk-!
Hayun looked aggrieved that I had intervened.
‘Every time I tell you to do your best, it’s always a foul.’
