< Psychic Wars - Pizza Battle (3) >
Episode 105
The physical strongest autobiography proceeded at a fairly fast pace.
It’s not a regular game, it’s a one-on-one match, so it’s a quick win, so the time consumed in each game is short.
If the three minutes had not been given to the new psyker before the start of the match, the match would have been much faster.
Of course, even so, since the number of games itself was 16, it took more than an hour for Dohyun’s turn to come, the second game of the last group.
“Come on, it’s the next match. The second match of Group D! There were a lot of conversations even before the start. It’s a game between Xenix and Kratos!”
“Ever since the draw ceremony, both players showed an unstoppable nerve battle. So I think this match is getting more and more anticipation. I’m also looking forward to it.”
“Actually, if you look at the situation, including the career, this match is top dog vs underdog, and it’s professional vs. amateur. In addition to that, there’s even reckless provocations towards each other!
I can’t help it if I don’t expect it!”
-Underdog hahahahahahaha
– Yes, that’s right.
-If you look at your career, you are underdog right?
-Invincible Xenix wins;
At the same time, the profile of each player was being reflected on the hologram panel.
While professional player Xenix’s profile was full of international and domestic competition records, Dohyun’s profile had only one line: ‘Triggers win’.
It was only natural that he had only that experience in Psychic Wars.
Judging from the outward appearance of his career, it is very clear who will win!
“Will Xenix make it clear what a professional is, or will he or Kratos, an underdog, will bite Top Dogg! Group D second match, now- begins!”
The match started with the cry of Caster Kim Han-ul.
The first thing Dohyun did after entering the waiting room prepared inside the virtual reality was to check the given psyker for this game.
Allotted time is only 3 minutes.
Inside, the players had to roughly grasp the psyker’s ability to be used in this match.
With only three minutes of time, all I could do was try out the technique once, but there is no need to tell the difference between doing it and not doing it.
‘The psyker’s name is ‘Striker’. The unique ability is….’
Dohyun’s eyes moved quickly, scanning the information about the psyker.
According to a rough overview, ‘Striker’ seemed to be a psyker specialized in close combat more than anything else.
Its unique ability is ‘Samhonmu’, which builds stacks by hitting the opponent properly, and deals huge damage every 3 stacks.
The skills possessed are ‘Spirit Lightning (魂爆雷)’, which inflicts higher damage depending on the number of times it is activated, and ‘Defense Force (護身气)’ that blocks attacks.
Finally, there was even a movement technique called ‘Shippungbo (疾风步)’ that allows for rapid forward movement.
“Striker! A psyker specialized in close combat. It’s a pretty advantageous situation for Xenix, who has often used similar psykers.”
“It’s not too bad for Kratos. Considering the appearance he showed with Blue Lightning at the Colosseum during the Trickers, the odds are good enough.」
-Xenix single smile hahaha
-I’m dying to see the main character come out, right? hahahaha
-One two three Kratos fighting!
-Xenix, please win.
Whether or not the broadcasters are joking around.
First, Do-hyeon used his techniques here and there to understand the striker.
By lightly tapping the scarecrow prepared in advance, he roughly felt the amount of damage the striker could do.
As a psyker specializing in close combat, the striker had very high physical abilities.
The special ability that stacks up a stack to do more damage is so much that it feels like an added bonus.
‘I think I know roughly what it feels like.’
Dohyun clenched and opened his fist and tilted his head.
Because I’m still not sure.
But whether he thought about it or not, the three minutes went by so quickly.
slurp-
immediately after the appointed time.
The surrounding landscape changed and became the battlefield of this match, the Colosseum.
With him, Xenix, wearing the same outfit, appeared in front of Dohyun.
‘Because we are the same psyker, we wear the same clothes.’
At the same time as Do-hyeon obtained a piece of useless information, the countdown began immediately without saying a katabuta.
[3, 2, 1]
A fast-tempo countdown.
However, both Dohyun and Xenix were calm and not panicked.
Because I already knew from the previous matches that the battle started as soon as I arrived on the battlefield.
[Fight]
As soon as the battle start signal sounded, Xenix rushed towards Dohyun.
There was no hesitation in his actions as he mainly played close-quarters psyker.
As if proving the striker’s strong physical ability, he smashed the ground and his body was shot forward like an arrow.
Shh!
The first attack is a straight-forward regime.
Do-hyeon lightly turned around to avoid it, but Xenix’s series of attacks aimed at him had only just begun.
Once again, the fists are raised and the legs are slammed into a natural sequence.
If you dodge, you dodge, if you block, you block, not only your fists and feet, but your elbows and knees as well, continuing the attack.
A blast-like attack using the whole body!
It was a brilliant link that seemed to say that he was not being referred to as a winner for nothing.
But.
「Xenix’s storm-like streak! However, not a single one fits! Avoid all Kratos players and hit them!”
“Perfect defense! That’s not even the striker’s defense technique, self-defense! You’re only blocking it with your own physical strength!”
– What are you doing, Xenix?
-Yeah, I can’t fight back.
– Does it look like you can’t? I guess I don’t?
As the relay crew said, Dohyun did not allow even a single attack against Xenix.
With his heavily sunken eyes, he saw through every detail of Xenix’s attack, avoiding it or smashing it away.
Without even using the defense technique, self-defense!
‘··········.’
And such Dohyun’s eyes reminded me of that time.
The time when I learned swordsmanship by stealing from Samurai Hearts.
After reading and analyzing every single movement of the sword, it was the eyes that he finally made his own.
“Shit.”
Did you not like Do-hyun’s behavior of only blocking?
With his face crumpled, Xenix stepped back.
It was because he felt the need to catch his breath for a while and adjust his posture for a more intense attack.
Do-hyeon didn’t bother chasing it, but stood still and looked at it.
‘great.’
Xenix, who was lightly bouncing in place, shone sharply in his eyes.
“Sup-“
Take a deep breath and take one big step at the same time.
Naturally, a gust of wind was triggered, and for a moment, Xenix’s body sprinted and dug deep into Do-hyeon’s side.
Just like a hurricane.
Seeing his empty side, Xenix twisted his body and raised his fist with his weight.
‘This worked…!’
– When I thought.
Dohyun’s eyes, who thought they were lost and wandering, slowly turned towards Xenix.
A chill ran down the spine of Xenix, who made eye contact with him.
Because the achromatic eyes that didn’t feel any emotion clearly recognized him.
Dohyun’s naturally lowered elbow pierced Xenix’s fist.
Whoops!
“Great!”
Xenix, whose posture was greatly disturbed by Dohyun’s counterattack, clenched his teeth.
He took a step back to prepare for the counterattack that would follow.
However, as Do-hyeon did not pursue him this time too, he trembled with fuss alone and backed away.
The moment Xenix’s forehead, which he thought had been ignored, twitched, Dohyun, who was clenching his fists, said calmly.
“Is this how it feels?”
When Xenix narrowed his eyes at the words he couldn’t understand.
Dohyun took a deep breath and took a big step at the same time.
Do-hyeon’s body accelerates for a moment.
Like the previous Xenix, the flurry was triggered naturally.
Feeling some familiarity with the way he burrows sideways in the blink of an eye, Xenix quickly raised his arm.
Puff-!
“Ugh-“
A fist filled with heavy power strikes the raised arm precisely.
Even so, he blocked the first blow, but Dohyun continued his attack as if he was trying to be compensated for not attacking before.
Once again, the fists were raised and the legs were slammed in a natural sequence.
Although he managed to block it with his trained technique, Xenix’s face hardened.
‘This······!’
because.
The connection Dohyun is showing now.
‘That’s the link I just wrote!’
Because these were the attacks that Xenix himself used when he pushed Dohyun!
Xenix was bewildered by the unconventional experience that the combo attack he had used was returned as it was.
And the shaking of the heart creates a gap.
Dohyun realized Xenix’s confusion like a ghost, and went one step further with a faint smile.
Do-hyun’s foot, who slowly stepped forward, stomped on Xenix’s right foot with difficulty.
‘Oops!’
By the time he realized that Xenix had been caught, it was already too late.
In the battle of the original masters, a moment’s inattention and a momentary gap determine everything.
At the moment when he can’t take his feet off and his posture is a bit disturbed, Do-hyeon’s fist slaps Xenix’s chin.
Xenix’s body was greatly shaken by the striker’s powerful blow, but he could not retreat further because he was stepped on by Dohyun.
Do-hyeon, who seized the victory, drove Xenix without hesitation as if throwing himself away.
“A Kratos player who properly digs into the gaps exposed by Xenix!”
“It was just a really crazy scene! Xenix has no choice but to panic! He took back the link he had written, who can be calm!”
– Big IS GOD
-I’m crazy, I’m all crazy, I’m crazy
– Kratos! Kratos! Kratos! Kratos! Kratos! Kratos! Kratos!
-I’ve known you since your debut with Tongnyx.
The moment the strike hits properly, the striker’s triple stack is accumulated.
1 stack with a slap in the chin, 2 stacks with a knee kick in the abdomen, and 3 stacks with one slap on the chin!
Quang-!
At the same time as the third attack, a loud hitting sound rang out, and Xenix’s eyes fluttered.
‘shit-‘
There, it was as if this battle had already been decided.
If it wasn’t Dohyun who Xenix was dealing with, if it was someone else, there might have been a slight chance.
But that’s just a case-by-case story.
His opponent was Do-hyeon, and Do-hyeon never missed an opportunity.
‘I can finish it.’
Do-hyeon’s eyes, which had a certain ‘kill angle’, lit up in a cool light.
Whoops, whoops, whoops-!
Every time Dohyun attacks, Xenix’s body swings around like a balloon doll.
Especially when it’s the third blow when Three Honmu is triggered, it’s almost visible!
Xenix tried to mobilize self-defense to stop it somehow, but to no avail.
Dohyeon pushed him step by step and drove him to the edge of the cliff.
And finally.
「Kratos prepares a blow to finish! Blue energy with fists!”
Aww-!
The moment the horn bomb that had been stacked up with three horns hit Xenix’s face, his body became powder of light and flew away.
It was a unique effect that appeared when the player was over the game.
“Game over! Kratos will take the victory in the first set!”
Only then did he let out a breath he had been holding back, calmly calming the momentum.
In front of him as he removed his hand, a system message flashed along with a fanfare of congratulations.
[Victory!]
Victory.
The amateurs won against the pros, and the underdogs bit Topdogs to win.
The audience’s reaction to this was, needless to say, enthusiastic.
-Kratos > Xenix proof complete!
-Xenix (fro gamer) hahaha
– I’m tired hahahahahaha
-Xenix’s laughing candidate hahahahahahahaha
-Now, Xenix is a pro gamer (formerly) ㅇㅎ?
「Kratos is really amazing! It’s not that Xenix didn’t do it, but Kratos did it so well! He couldn’t even use his hands!”
“you’re right. The difference between victory and defeat was a moment when Xenix was embarrassed. Maybe that’s why he intentionally returned the same link!”
“Can you say you want to do that? I can’t believe it. It’s unbelievable physical!”
Do-hyeon, who won by directing a ridiculous scene, was praised by the broadcasters.
who would have thought
As if Boran, the link the opponent had attacked would return intact.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand why Xenix’s hands and feet were messed up in embarrassment.
“But now it’s only one loss. Xenix player! If you clear your mind and fight again, you can turn it around!”
“For the set just now, Kratos was well aware of Xenix’s sway. The same number won’t work in the next set, so we need to keep an eye on it.」
I’ve only lost 1 game now.
Since the pizza battle is going to be best-of-five, the broadcasters say that there is still plenty of opportunity.
However, the match proceeded completely differently from what the broadcasters had said.
In the next two sets.
“Damn…!”
“Xenix, you need to calm down. I’m so depressed right now!”
“Is it okay if I calmly let it go? The striker has a structure similar to that of Xenix’s main psykers, so…”
“Once again, I get caught up in Kratos’s combo and lose.”
-Negg shitty nyx balijoo? Can’t you do anything? just hit it??
– But what is this?
– Kratos is so good right??
– This version of Xenix did a great job, Jim;
And in the 3rd set.
“No way, no-“
“At this point, I think I have to be honest. Just… Kratos is too strong. It’s incredibly strong!”
“Xenix is doing his best too! It feels like I’m bringing out everything I can, but that just doesn’t work!”
“Really, wow- I can’t keep my mouth shut. Truly the physical itself!”
-??? : Can you feel the “physical difference”?
-From now on, don’t call me physical, call me ‘Kratos’ hahaha
-Just King, God, Sword, God
-You, who are as easy as Xenix without raising a sword, are a moral book…
In the end, Xenix didn’t win even a single set until the end.
Rather, he only showed a disappointing appearance against Do-hyeon, who is getting used to the striker as he develops more and more.
So, Do-hyeon had a perfect victory that didn’t give up a single game.
It was the moment when a new dark horse appeared, relentlessly crushing one of the four winners.
