＜ Episode 93. A step forward (3) ＞
Unlike the training curriculum, which takes a certain amount of time to reveal results, the free distribution of equipment rentals and synergistic skills quickly showed tangible results.
The survival rate, which had been above 80%, rose to over 90%.
Of course, it wasn’t just the survival rate that went up.
―Amazing Team Fighting Spirit! All players who participated in Blood Knight 239 take victory!
―The fighting spirit of the team that is creating a sensation in the lower leagues these days. Survival rate was 91.7%. This is a whopping 11.9% higher than Team Flame’s 79.8%, which boasted the second highest survival rate of all time!
―You can’t believe it even after watching it. How is that possible? All about team fighting spirit!
└ Wow, it’s really crazy.. It was a number that could have a survival rate of 91%..
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What was the survival rate of our team?
└ Hey, you idiots hahahaha You guys also picked a lot and sent only usable ones to the game hahahahaha that’s easy hahahaha
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is it easy to be number 1 all time?
└ Yes, follicles in the corner of the room. There is only a 3% difference between 2nd and 10th place, but there is a 12% difference between 2nd and 1st place hahahaha
└ If you’re going to say it’s easy, authenticate and black it.
└ㅅㅅ hahahaha Then you throw only the usable ones and leave the rest to rot in the farm? Not tossed into a pile?
└Come to think of it, I’ve never seen him throw a dummy in Team Fighting;; It means that they raise real players really well..
└ Wow, I’m really f*cking curious ㅠㅠ How the heck did you raise them to be able to do that? Could you please share the training manual?
└ It’s hidden by the survival rate, but the win rate is also very high. It was almost 30%.. It means that if three people come out, one person will take the victory
The number of players active in the game has also increased tremendously.
that in a word.
‘The basic salary goes up quickly, and they even get a victory bonus.’
Of course, it would have had some effect if I taught them how to deal with various weapons and how to attack according to their style in the special arena.
well, anyway.
Thanks to that, the points that come to me have increased tremendously in a short period of time.
The points received last month were 5,271 points.
But this month…
[Remaining Points: 19,732 P]
I already had 882,934 points.
There, he spent 878,000 points to raise his stats.
And except for the 5,271 points that came in last month.
‘7,527 points came in.’
It grew by 42% in just one month.
Of course, it would be difficult to show such a growth rate in the long run because equipment and skills instantly increase power.
‘In a little while, it’s time to receive the new 6 riders.’
Excluding the five who died in a match a few days ago, there are currently 259 players on Team Fighting’s farm.
By the way, the number of players to draw in 6 bases is about 950 people.
At once, the number of players belonging to it increased by thousands.
Although the initial training will take some time.
‘If you start to play an active part up to the 6th rider, the points will be enormous.’
I have been waiting for that day for a long time.
It was a time when I was almost living in the training ground for a while and was evenly changing from the 2nd to the 5th.
‘Tsk.’
I felt stuffy even while dealing with seven people at the same time, including the 2nd Horseman Four, Kairosia, Mo Yong-ak, and Go Geon-ha.
It’s good that they’re growing up fast, but the problem was that I became too strong.
Now that I can deal with those seven without much difficulty even with three curses on, I really didn’t get anything from Dalian.
‘Is there any other sparring method?’
“Kairosia-sama! A wall of fire behind you so you can’t escape!”
nod
“Ugh! I got through the breakthrough! Jace hyung, cover me up!”
“Ugh, I got pierced too!”
“Oh, no!”
Awesome!
Even in the middle of fighting against them, I wondered if there was a better way.
After lightly breaking through Changbeom Chang, Mo Yongak, and Jace, who were blocking my breakthrough, I cut down the long range dealers Kairosia and Goh Geonha at once, and then gradually organized the remaining ones.
“Wow, Woojin hyung. Obviously, it wasn’t like this until a while ago… Now I can’t even compete with you.”
Chang-beom Chang-beom looked astonished at how lightly I penetrated the barricade they had erected.
“Good work everyone.”
“You have worked hard, brother. Thank you for sparring today.”
“Thank you for teaching, Ahn Woo-jin.”
“Ahn Woo-jin, you have worked hard.”
The Dalian that ended so pointlessly.
Nodding once to everyone, I left the special arena.
‘Should I start training to raise my stats again?’
It was the first time I had a stat that far exceeded the demonic section, so I felt uncomfortable with the feeling that my growth had stopped.
Even if I do sparring, it’s going to be messy, so I don’t think there’s much meaning in my growth itself.
It was when I was on my way to the office, thinking about it.
“Ahn Woo-jin?”
“Ah, Lord Aserian.”
“What do you think?”
Aserian, who was sitting on a bench and patted his shoulder in the sunlight, looked at me and tilted his head.
I smiled and sat down next to her.
Even though I was wearing a mask, it seemed that I was troubled.
I decided to speak honestly with Aserian.
“I feel like I’ve stopped growing, so I’m a bit frustrated these days. I was wondering if there is a better way.”
“Ah, so you’re beyond the devil’s section. But you’re still very busy, right? He sparred with hundreds of people every day.”
At Aserian’s words, I sighed.
“I do sparring, but because my stats are so high, I take it easy without even realizing it. This is not sparring.”
“ah······.”
“Of course I know. That I’m not the only one experiencing this. But I can’t sit still and do nothing.”
At my words, Aserian nodded.
In the end, it’s a problem that I have to overcome on my own, she must know.
“I’m sure you’ll get over it.”
So Aserian just cheered me on as always.
That night.
smart-
I lay down in bed to sleep, and I had no choice but to get up again at the sound of someone knocking.
‘Who is it?’
Me, and the 2nd Horsemen, Lee Se-yeon, Kairosia, Mo Yong-ak, and Go Geon-ha.
Currently, there were only 9 people in the accommodation I was using.
As the number of players on the team increases, the building is divided into several.
Besides, I rarely drink, so there was no one to knock at this hour.
I hurriedly put the mask on the bedside table and opened the door to my room.
clap-
“······Mr. Peanut L?”
“hmm. It must have been getting ready to go to sleep. Can I come in for a moment?”
The one who found my room in the middle of the night was none other than Peanut L, who should have left work a long time ago.
“Yes, come in.”
I tilted my head, opened the door wide, and guided her through.
Inside a room about 10 pyeong with nothing but a bed, a simple tea table, and a chair.
I gave her a chair and sat on the bed.
“Sorry for the late hour.”
“no. But what happened…?”
At my question, Peanut L opened his mouth, crossing one leg.
“Asserian said that you are frustrated because you do not have a suitable opponent these days. Is it right?”
“······yes.”
“Um, if you don’t mind, I can act as your opponent.”
At Peanut L’s words, I raised my eyes.
Could she… sparring with me?
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“It’s okay and there’s nothing to do, it’s something I’d rather ask for.”
In fact, I had no idea how strong she was.
‘Evil eyes.’
Tring!
[Check the opponent’s abilities.]
[Name: Peanut El]
[＜Boss Power: Eyes of the Powerful Angel＞ defends ＜Evil Eyes＞.]
If you check her information through the evil eye.
It’s because her ability was to defend against the evil eye.
From noble mtl dot com
Just as the Devil’s Eye defended the Shingoong’s Eye used by Go Ju-Mong in the lower league Seong-Gye Battle.
However, Peanut El didn’t seem to know that I tried to scan her stats through the devil’s eye.
Because Peanut L did not respond.
‘How strong will it be?’
Even a level 9 angel with a pair of wings would be stronger than most top players.
From noble mtl dot com
Just like the lesser demon, Hellifer, did.
By the way, Peanut L is a 6th-level powerful angel with four pairs of wings.
I just expected it to be about the same as the senior players, or even stronger than that.
“Then get ready and come out. I will go to the special training ground.”
“… are you talking about sparring now?”
The current time is 10:52 at night.
It was time for everyone to go to bed for tomorrow’s training.
I was thinking well too.
“Our sparring must be conducted in secret, so there is no choice.”
However, from Peanut El’s words that followed, I could understand why she had come to visit me at this time.
angel.
It is literally a being of a higher dimension than us.
It wouldn’t do any good if rumors spread that such a being had fought against a mere player.
“no. Thank you so much for sticking with me like this. Let’s get ready and go.”
That’s how the sparring between me and Peanut L was concluded.
[Map: Ruined Circular Arena]
[The sparring begins after 3 seconds.]
“Whoa.”
I let out a long sigh.
A 10-meter-high outer wall enclosing the building in ruins, collapsed in places, and the stadium.
And even the light wind that blows calmly.
All of that was clearly felt.
[The sparring begins in 2 seconds.]
‘This feeling.’
A chilly tension engulfed her entire body.
I couldn’t feel it when I was dealing with Changbeom Joo or Kairosia.
This tightly tightened feeling, as if right before the game.
It was so good.
[The sparring begins after 1 second.]
On the other side, I saw Peanut L wearing a thin breastplate and leggings.
It was the same outfit as usual.
if anything else.
‘I used a sword.’
It has already been 38 weeks since Peanut L came to Farm.
It was the first time I saw her holding a weapon, even after nine months.
however······.
‘The momentum is different.’
An indescribable sense of coercion emanated from her figure holding the sword.
I could tell for sure.
[Dalian begins!]
That she is much stronger than me.
‘With all my might.’
There was no need for any exploration.
If you do something wrong, you may die without doing anything.
Kwajijijijijijijik!
“Huh!”
I kicked the floor as soon as the game started.
Peanut L stands at the starting point in a relaxed and dignified manner.
I hit her with the thunderbolt as hard as I could.
Chae Ae Ae!
‘Ugh!’
Even though I obviously rushed in, a tremendous repulsive force was transmitted to my fingertips.
Peanut El was only one step behind.
[Strength: 165 (+5) (+50)] [Agility: 165 (+5) (+50)] [Strength: 145 (+5) (+32)]
[Spirit: 134 (+5) (+30)] [Intelligence: 44 (+10)] [Magic Power: 109 (+5) (+24)]
‘The difference in stats is huge.’
My strength and agility stats are 165 even though the enhanced blood perk is not active.
At the time of the revolution mission, it was 30 points higher than if all the perks were turned on.
Nevertheless, it was pushed out by Peanut L.
[A mark has been registered in the shadow of the 6th-level powerful angel ‘Peanut El’.]
“Ohhh, that’s really great.”
Peanut-Lell looked surprised that he had been pushed out.
Peanut El, who realized that my stats were not negligible after a single clash, soon attacked first and rushed at me.
visor! visor! visor! visor! visor!
‘My arms are tingling.’
Each flash of her sword pushed my body back a handful.
‘Something is strange.’
However, I felt that fighting her was worth doing more than I thought.
The difference in stats was hopeless.
Even if you can’t do it, it’s a level that has a difference of more than 40 stats in strength and agility.
visor! visor! visor!
Every time she blocks her sword, the angle of the spear is distorted.
“Where!”
No matter how much I tried to backtrack and distance myself, she quickly caught up.
‘But why?’
Is it that easy to block?
If Teruomi and his stats were so different, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.
The distance would have shortened in an instant.
‘Worth it?’
I tried to keep her from entering by sticking a spear in whenever she dashed.
When Peanut El approached me, parrying my attack with his sword, I slipped around to the outskirts and secured space and distance.
and attack again.
After Peanut El is knocked out, he digs in.
As these things repeated, I was able to realize one thing.
‘It was different from the mindset.’
Unlike us, who had to fight every day in the Colosseum for survival.
Peanut El just needs to teach the players.
So, in the first place, there was not much to fight with someone.
‘This should be worth fighting for.’
From then on, I changed my strategy and started running towards her.
