178 – Total Solar Eclipse (11)
Lee Seok-hyun wasn’t the only one fighting a fierce battle.
“Stop it!”
“They keep coming!”
“According to Lee Seok-hyun’s order in advance! Variables are dealt with immediately, but survival is the top priority!”
“Even if you have an angle to kill the enemy, if there is a possibility of injury, buy yourself! Our bodies are one! The demons keep coming!”
Originally, mud fights are the most fierce.
The strong kill their enemies to survive, but the weak have a higher chance of surviving only when they run away.
According to this law, they were fighting a battle to the death, sometimes fighting and sometimes fleeing.
“No!”
The gaps and loopholes that arise from being the weak.
Mine tried to eat the cadets with the mindset that he would kill even if he died.
“Damage!”
Bang!
“Akasa-sama!”
Every time that happened, the professors actively threw themselves to survive.
And among them, it was Akasa who showed the most outstanding performance.
The weaker she is, the more inadequate her distance control is, so she was able to play an active role in close-quarters combat.
-Master, if you trust me and send a signal, everyone please evacuate.
-Are you saying you’re going to do it alone?
– Yes, you may have many questions, but trust me.
-…
Akasa defended the cadets, and as soon as her total solar eclipse began, she recalled a conversation she had with her pupil.
I felt that she was unusual from the first time I met her, but she is a disciple who grew up quickly while I couldn’t see her.
She didn’t show a teacher-like appearance, and at times like this, she had to act as a maid.
‘The teacher is looking at the student’s back.’
Could there be a greater disgrace than this?
The disciple is bound to surpass the master eventually, but I didn’t know it would be this fast.
‘It’s not over yet…’
Demons were still pouring out because the black sun was open. She couldn’t be careless because not only
, But also the monsters were slowly approaching.
But the most important thing right now was the giant and Lee Seok-hyun.
The moment the giant radiated its power, a black sphere appeared, creating a perfect isolated space.
Because of that, I couldn’t know the situation inside at all.
Even if you want to support them, you can’t care if you want to save the cadets.
Ironically, the composition in which Lee Seok-hyun had to handle the named mine was forcibly completed.
‘Like when I defeated a top-notch mine by myself…’
I hope Lee Seok-hyun will win.
Blocking the monsters and demons, they prayed and prayed.
It was everyone’s wish.
++++++++++
“…Where is this?”
Apparently Lee Seok-hyun said something.
The memory after that disappeared like a lie.
When I woke up and looked around, there was only darkness.
Even this was not a space he had created, so he felt a great sense of difference.
It’s not filled with black mana, it’s a really pure space where no light comes in.
It reminded me of a prison that was accidentally caught by humans in the past.
Short.
Once I tried to move my body and examine it, I realized that my ankles and wrists were tied.
Judging from the fact that it did not come off even with force, it was assumed that the constraints were materialized.
Being locked up with chains on your hands and feet is like a real prisoner.
The giant did what he could immediately, not knowing what had happened.
‘The strength… There is no sign that it has weakened.’
It’s just that it’s currently dark and I can’t move.
I don’t know if it was Seok-Hyun Lee or Seok-Hyun Lee, but what’s certain is that it’s not a difficult situation.
The stored power was sufficient, and given the strength felt in the restrictions, it could be released if necessary.
‘Whatever it is, it’s advantageous.’
Maybe this was a device that could make the situation more advantageous.
If you thought you were tied up and attacked you the moment you were careless, you would surely be beaten.
The giant came up with a plan while considering the number of possible cases.
Clink.
The chains were soon undone, putting the plan to shame.
“…?”
It’s been awhile since I’ve had doubts.
Chara la la la rock.
There was a sound of chains clashing against each other, and light suddenly came into the dark space.
Perhaps it was really a prison, but when the chain-lined door opened, the scenery outside came in at a glance.
The first thing that came in was the endless sandy field.
And then the surrounding walls gathered, and the giant immediately thought of the Colosseum.
It’s about making money by risking one’s life by clashing with gladiators.
When he looked at the situation, he was no different than a battle slave sold to the Colosseum.
“What the hell is this…”
The giant didn’t even think to hide his absurd feelings and walked toward the light.
As if he had been waiting for that, a loud voice resounded from the sky.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Ladies and Gentlemen! Ladies and Gentlemen! The long-awaited champion’s match is about to begin!”
“Waaa!!!”
“I lived to see this! I only have this!”
“Win it! Win you big slave!”
“Giant? Giant? Anyway, you win unconditionally! Smash the champion!”
As soon as he comes out, the shouts he hears make his ears deaf.
The hot sunlight made the giant unconsciously shade it with his hands.
A series of forced situations.
It could be dismissed as trivial, but as these continued, the giant felt uncomfortable.
“Introducing you! Today’s challenger is incredibly tall! Even his name proves his size: a giant! The mace he wields is the equivalent of ten grown men put together! He’s the champion’s opponent today!”
As soon as the voice that introduced himself was over, a loud shout came out again.
What is the meaning of cheering yourself up to the point where your eyes are red and bloodshot?
Did you bet money? No, why did I become the object of betting money in the first place?
‘I don’t know what it is… It’s so different from what the seer said.’
The giant was unable to adapt to the unnatural circumstances that continued to arise.
However, time passed and the moderator continued.
“And this time! There is not just one challenger! The giants came out as a team! Ah~ I hope you look at those stylish hats! And even the swords wrapped around your waist! The giant’s friend! I’m a swordsman!”
“It’s like 2nd grade! 2Nd grade!”
“uuu! The fashion sense is the worst!”
“Western hairstyles are the worst for Eastern swordsmen!”
“Still, I bet all my money on you, so I’ll kill you if I lose!”
Swordsman? A swordsman came too?
The giant hurriedly turned his head to the side of the host’s introduction.
And there, like a lie, there were swordsmen.
Appearing to have been in the same situation as you just now, he appears fiddling with his wrist, which is so nice.
It was to the extent that I could understand why a bond with compatriots from other places was created.
Besides, judging by the expression, he just panics, not knowing why, just like himself.
Once he figured out that far, the giant was sure who did this.
“Lee Seok-hyun! Where are you!”
You’re doing everything you can to survive!
The giant let out a loud roar and made his presence known, but the more he did, the more the Colosseum got hotter.
“What is the second grade disease! If you’re thinking of confusing me with sounds I can’t understand, you’re making a big mistake!”
The giant tried to unleash his powers to end this ridiculous prank.
“!”
He realized that the power did not come out of his own will.
He definitely has the power that he firmly believed that he could split the world in two just a moment ago.
As if to resolve such a question, the host immediately opened his mouth.
“Ah! How can I say this challenger! It’s hot! Very hot! Summer! It’s hot time! You can’t relax before going into this match, so I’ve made a temporary measure.”
I don’t like this either, but the original procedure is like that.
The moderator continued his remarks with a cheerful expression as if he was very excited about the game after a long time.
“Let’s go! Then I introduced all the challengers! Then, I will introduce the champions from now on! Ah! Expect and anticipate! 1784 Matches, 1784 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses!”
Unbelievable records.
The giant and the swordsman instinctively felt that they had to fight the soon-to-be champion.
And surely, at that time, the restriction that prevents the use of power will be lifted.
In fact, if the restrictions were lifted, this heinous prank could have been destroyed.
But even so, a bit of uneasiness remained, and the giant and the swordsman subconsciously closed their distance from each other.
It was proof that an unknown fear was coiling around his ankle.
“The myth of invincibility! The incarnation of victory! Lee! Seok! Hyun!”
That feeling of fear dissipated like a lie at the last comment of the moderator.
The person who struggled until just now is the champion here?
Tension melts away like snow and your mind becomes calm.
Isn’t it just a matter of repeating what we did earlier?
I heard that he had won a thousand wins, so I was wondering how strong a guy would come out, and it was Lee Seok-hyun.
The giant loosened his grip on the mace.
“Die!”
“You must die this time!”
“The day you lose will soon become a festival! It’s better if you die!”
Unlike the giants and swordsmen who cheered on, the audience criticized Lee Seok-hyun.
Since you could tell the location just by looking at this, the giant thought everything was easy.
Since there were a series of situations that I couldn’t handle, I decided to just think of the comfortable side.
“I’m back.”
A small but piercing voice in everyone’s ears.
All living things in the Colosseum unconsciously turned their heads in the direction of the sound.
The top of the outer wall.
With the scorching sun in the background, Lee Seok-hyun finally appeared.
“It’s time to be beaten, boys.”
Mijuran’s data.
The most brilliant champion in the past.
She couldn’t catch the final boss in the end, but she was the woman of steel who never defeated anyone else.
That data has now descended on Lee Seok-hyun.
