4 . dummy(3)
Tring!
[Recovers all statuses to 100%.]
When I passed through the gate, I saw a familiar stadium.
There were already over 100 players inside.
Four more teams were in attendance.
sh*t.
It seems that today’s main event is scheduled to be quite named.
Because it meant to cheer up with the blood of over 100 dummies before the big match.
It’s difficult.
If so, the number of opponents who will come to brutally kill us will be quite large.
If I want to survive in this match, I have to kill all of my opponents…
No amount of dummies would help, so in the end I had to do it myself.
‘It’s going to be a difficult game.’
Tring!
[Game: Let’s start the 2nd game of the lower league-Blood Knight 171.]
[Type: Team competition (individual PvP)]
[Game Name: Night of Massacre]
[Map: Circular Arena (Small)]
[Audience number: 17,204]
A notification window appeared in front of me, but I ignored it and ran to the other side of the entrance.
My current stamina is 8.
It’s so low that it’s downright embarrassing.
Tring!
[Victory condition: Destroy all enemies.]
[Current situation: R 30 vs B 100]
[There are bonus point conditions.]
[The more enemies you kill, the higher the bonus!]
[Kill Count Status – None]
[The match starts in 3 seconds.]
That’s why it’s difficult to become a target for the opponent’s guys from the beginning.
You should move to a place that is as inconspicuous as possible.
Avoid the middle part where there are a lot of players.
That’s where the most aggro will be drawn.
[The match starts in 2 seconds.]
where i should be
[The match starts in 1 second.]
8 o’clock corner of the arena.
If you are there, you will be able to fight one-on-one with enemies.
[Start the match!]
The status window announced the start of the match.
A small space about 200 meters in diameter.
The iron grate door at the 12 o’clock position opened, and the guys on the other side poured out.
The total number is 30 people.
The outfits of the red team players were varied.
It means that you have earned points and upgraded your equipment.
On the other hand, we were wearing the basic leather tops and bottoms we were given when we first entered the Colosseum.
A definite inferiority in equipment.
As soon as they entered the stadium, they rushed to the place where most of our players were gathered.
Arrows and magic flew, and swords and axes danced.
“Kyaaah!”
“Ahh!”
In an instant, a feast of red blood dedicated to the audience began.
Fear and madness engulfed the arena.
A massacre took place in my direction as well.
“Ugh, go away!”
“Keuhehehehe, are you wielding it as a swordsmanship? It’s like a fresh fish.”
A RED team player wearing a Viking helmet was slowly approaching the pile in front of me.
Dummy swung his sword at random as he had nowhere to back down against the 5-meter-high outer wall.
“Quack!”
There was no way the sword he wielded so randomly could reach the opponent. The red team players are all veterans who have played a few games in the lower leagues.
The Viking helmet, which lightly dodged the sword, cut Dummy’s head with a huge axe.
The dummy broke in two with a agony and collapsed on the floor.
Soon after, the Viking glanced at me with his tongue sticking out.
A devilish smile hung on his lips.
It was the expression of a predator who found its prey.
The next target was me.
‘Apply the reverse puncture title.’
Tring!
[Apply <Mythic Achievement: Reverse Puncture>.]
[All stats increase by +20% due to the effect of the title.]
[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: undecided)-Earth] [Affiliation: Team growth]
[League: Lower League]
[Strength: 4 (+1)] [Agility: 5 (+1)] [Stamina: 10 (+2)]
[Spirit: 104 (+17)] [Intelligence: 14 (+2)] [Magic Power: 0 (+0)]
[Awakening Ability: <Super Sense> <Advanced Living> <Special Mana Management> <Advanced Spearmanship> <Intermediate Swordsmanship> <Advanced Daggersmanship> <Advanced Throwing> <Intermediate Fighting> <Lesser Healing>]
[Owned Skills (0/5): None]
[Achievement privilege: All stats + 20%] [Dimension privilege: None] [Race privilege: None]
[Remaining HP: 97%]
My heart calmed down.
The pressure that had been suppressing my body disappeared in an instant.
Mental stats that exceeded three digits put me in a state of calm at once.
“Where do you want me to cut? huh?”
Blood dripped dripping from the huge axe.
The fishy smell of blood stung the tip of his nose.
pounding. pounding.
The boy’s heart is beating fast. He had blood all over his body and was very excited.
The guy who swept the floor and ran quickly swung a huge axe.
Whoo!
The sound of tearing the air was clearly audible.
‘weird.’
A huge ax soaked in the scent of blood glided past me.
Why the hell are you doing this?
Something felt out of sync.
I thought I would avoid it and moved my body, but it was only after a while that I felt my body moving.
It seemed that the senses were playing separately.
Whoo!
Once again the ax is flying.
‘sh*t.’
My body didn’t listen, so I had no choice but to hold out my shield.
Quaang!
Queue.
The body was thrown out by the terrifying force. I felt a tingling pain from my left shoulder to my wrist. Even if the strength stat was poor, it seemed like it would exceed 20.
Why?
What the hell is wrong?
‘if?’
I closed my eyes.
Woo Woo Woo-
The sound of an ax cutting through the wind is heard.
I smell the blood on me.
As I twisted my body, the nerves in my whole body on edge felt that the ax had just passed by me.
‘It must have been because of the snow.’
Extrasensory is a very difficult awakening ability.
It helps to make the nerves of the whole body as sensitive as possible so that you can use them delicately.
As much as the senses are amplified, even if the senses are slightly distorted, it feels big.
After all, my super senses couldn’t adapt to my new body.
‘I guess I’ll have to close my eyes until I get used to it.’
However, it was fortunate that they were quick to adapt because they were all familiar senses except for sight.
“hahahahaha, one guy is dancing with a sword, and one guy is scared and closes his eyes!”
Even if you can’t see your eyes, dodging his attacks is a piece of cake.
Because I’ve been fighting in invisible situations.
After concentrating on avoiding for a while, I felt the out of place senses return to their proper places.
Do you think this will be fine?
Shall we float now?
When I weakly opened my eyes, I saw his ax rushing in.
‘Well, it’s much better than before.’
The senses were still slightly twisted, but not to the point of being unavoidable.
It was thanks to the stabilization of the rest of the senses except for the eyes.
Whoo!
He was much stronger and faster than me. The difference in stats seemed to be more than doubled.
But strangely.
“hehehe, you dodged quite well. That’s right, I’ll have to cut off that leg first.”
Again, the guy’s ax flies.
‘this······.’
despite the threatening attack.
I was very relaxed.
The guy’s ax looked slow.
‘Gap!’
I put my shield in front of me and thrust my sword into his chest.
bang!
No matter how strong his strength was, even though he blocked it with his shield, he was pushed back by a handful. But my sword had already gone in and out of his chest.
Tring!
[You have killed player ‘Jonas’.]
The guy in the Viking helmet collapsed clutching his chest.
Drops of blood dripped from the sword in his hand.
Drop by drop, drop by drop.
Drops of blood that hit the floor splintered and sprang up.
All the sights caught my eye.
I looked down at the hand holding the sword.
This strange sense is the extrasensory ability of sight.
It’s an unfamiliar feeling.
It is very nice to see
“bloke! Quite right!”
At that time, a player in a black uniform who was slaughtering the dummy next to me jumped at me.
Thighs spur the floor.
movement of the waist.
That rotation passes through the shoulder, through the guy’s arm, and is transmitted to the sword.
The series of movements were clearly ‘seen.’
Pook-
I blocked his sword with a wooden shield. And, just like I did with the Viking, I stabbed my sword into the guy’s gap.
“Kuk…!”
Tring!
[You have killed the player ‘Ha Tae-chung’.]
Then the man in uniform died too easily.
It was the first feeling.
Falling down so easily?
In the first round, I was always busy hiding my body.
A stat that drops significantly from the start compared to others.
A soft hand that had never held a sword.
Even the fragile mentality that has never experienced murder.
I have always been the weakest in the Colosseum.
And the life of the weakest continued to the upper leagues.
I may have become stronger than before, but there were too many monsters in the higher leagues that were worse than me.
Three players on the other side, seeing me knocking down two, rushed at once.
“On the dummy subject!”
“die!”
Whiik-
Two flying swords and one spear.
Two swords were blocked with shields, and one spear was lightly dodged by twisting the body.
In the meantime, I thrust my sword into the throat of the guy on the far left who was wearing armor.
There was a clicking sound from the joints of the armor.
The guy let go of the sword, grabbed his neck and knelt on the floor.
Tring!
[You have killed player ‘Lucas’.]
“Nom!”
As he twisted the sword and stepped back, a small solid line drawn by the sword appeared in front of his eyes.
As I tilted my head back, the sword passed aimlessly, cutting off a few strands of my bangs.
“Kuk!”
I cut the knee of the guy holding the sword with the lower part of the shield and swung the sword as it was.
Another player who lost his head collapsed to the floor.
Tring!
[You have killed player ‘Ruben’.]
And immediately rolled across the floor. The spear narrowly grazed my side.
“hahahaha.”
The Asian with the spear gasped.
His heart was beating like it was about to burst.
The shoulder of the guy holding the spear stiffened.
With his body stiff like that, it didn’t seem scary even if he swung a spear.
On the other hand, my breathing was not at all calm.
[Remaining HP: 71%]
I killed four people, but my health barely dropped.
Simple and efficient movements did not consume much stamina.
My current stamina level is 10 due to achievement perks.
On Earth, he had the stamina of an average person.
In practice, just being still will drain your stamina.
This is because the body constantly emits heat to maintain a tense state.
But my heart is very still.
It didn’t feel like I was standing on a battlefield where knives were flying and blood was splattering.
My mental strength of over 100 even caught up with my physical strength consumption.
“Keuk… Kuk.”
Tring!
[You have killed player ‘JinJin’.]
I kicked him and pulled out my sword.
Looking around, severed limbs were strewn about.
There were also corpses with only the torso remaining, with all limbs torn off.
Most of them were the corpses of dummies.
Everyone alive was staring at me.
Whoop- whoop- whoop-
The man standing closest to me approached me, spinning his huge mace.
The boy’s steps were cautious.
“Ughhhhh!”
The mace flew with terrifying momentum.
A shield made of only wood was certain to shatter as soon as it was blocked.
But I wasn’t nervous at all.
Quaang!
Because you can avoid it without blocking it.
The seat where I was standing was dented by the mace.
I just dodged lightly to the side and scorched the victim’s carotid artery.
Blood gushed out like a fountain and soaked me.
There was a bitter, fishy smell of blood.
Tring!
[You have killed player ‘Kumar’.]
I didn’t even pay attention to the guy who fell to the floor.
I took a quick look at the rest of the people. Then the guys who made eye contact with me flinched and took a backward step. The boys’ eyes were trembling.
As the weakest in the Colosseum, it was the first look I experienced.
Perhaps the other players’ eyes were like that when they looked at the debt woman.
The eyes of a prey looking at a predator.
I was a player who went up to a higher league.
My current stats are disastrous, but I have all my skills and experience.
In addition, he has now regained his sight and has ‘completed super sense’.
That’s why I, standing in the lower league, was like a predator to them.
low stat?
It didn’t matter.
I realized how misleading the expression tiger without teeth was.
Tigers are predators even without teeth.
It still has sharp claws and has overwhelming momentum to intimidate its prey.
Even if a tiger loses its teeth, herbivores cannot hunt it.
I walked away slowly.
It was time to tell the prey who considered themselves predators who the true predators were.
From now on, it was my ‘hunting time’.
[You have killed player ‘Aaron’.]
[You have killed player ‘Bradley’.]
[You have killed player ‘Corbin’.]
[Kill player ‘Gong Jin-Woo’…]
[Player ‘Frankie’…]
[Player ‘Hello’…]
Eventually, I was able to kill all the players.
Tring!
[You have killed all players on the other side!]
[‘Blue’ team wins!]
I was the only person standing in the arena.
The dummy side won.
[Remaining HP: 23%]
“Huck, huck.”
Fighting all 30 players by yourself is also difficult.
But there was still a smile on my lips.
because soon
[Basic salary x 1 victory allowance will be paid.]
[Bonuses are set according to the number of kills.]
[number of kills – 30 kills]
[Amazing achievement!]
[I killed all enemies alone!]
[You receive an additional bonus.]
Tring!
[Since you achieved 30 kills, you will receive a bonus of 3 times your base salary.]
[Since you killed all opponent players by yourself, you will receive an additional x 2 bonus.]
[End of 2 games of lower league-Blood Knight 171.]
Tring!
[I received 5,600 P as fight money. (2,400 P deducted from Team ‘Fight’ fee)]
[From the next game, the base salary will be set at 2,000 P.]
[Go to your team’s farm. You did a really good job.]
Because I knew that a huge amount of points would be given as a reward.
In his first match as a dummy.
I found the predator’s blood hiding inside me.
