Episode 121
protagonist (1)
After Kim Chan-ho said that the academy was stabilized and the finals resumed, the match continued from the next day.
Since there are only a few teams left in the finals, each team does not play more than one game per day, but the number of remaining games decreases each day.
It was also natural that the power of the opposing team would grow exponentially.
like now.
“Catch that bastard-!”
The arrows aiming at the middle of the forehead were shot down with the blades of magical powers.
The shattered arrow loses its power and falls to the ground.
Trampling on the arrowhead that had fallen to the ground, he took the next step.
I immediately rolled on the floor to avoid the club being stamped over my head.
A giant with a club stands firm in front of the opposing team’s ADC.
As if telling him to come if he wants to come, he slowly retrieves his club, which he struck down on the floor.
“no-!!!”
I’m afraid my cry will end.
-bang!
An explosion erupted from the giant’s chest.
It is a magic bullet triggered by Anya’s AWM.
Black smoke from the explosion of the magic bullet swallowed the giant.
– Clap.
The sound of iron locking is heard.
I wouldn’t ask other kids for help, but the story was a little different now.
Restrictions piled on me.
I don’t know if it’s possible to extract power mercilessly, but the only ability I can use right now is the talent of the sword.
The tip of the club protrudes out of the smoke with the sound of ‘booong-‘ cutting through the air.
As he estimated the approximate location of the giant, he gathered mana on his toes.
Einhwa, longing dream, heir to the throne.
They are all good skills.
I should be able to write here.
Soon after, seeing the giant coming out of the smoke, I immediately kicked the guy’s shin with the tip of my toe full of magical power.
He let out a scream in unspeakable pain, and let go of the club he was holding in his right hand.
With my left hand, I quickly grabbed the club as it fell toward the floor.
Both hands became heavy in an instant.
-[Greedy plunderer] is activated.
-Enhancement level is True.
Without looking at the notification window that came up one after another, I swung my club at the giant’s jaw, which was distorted in pain.
‘Pak-!’ With a sound, the giant’s massive body floats in the air and flies away.
If you use Einhwa in a public place like this, you will be jailed.
heir to the throne? It would be useful in the left competition of greed, but there is no corner that can be used right away.
The only useful thing is the dream of longing… … .
To be honest, I don’t want to use it even while paying the cost against such trivial guys. No, it’s a waste of money to activate it.
Honestly, there are things I can offer as a sacrifice besides ‘Kim Taeyang’s Memory’… … .
I mean, I don’t like it very much.
There was something that caught my senses, so I tilted my head back to avoid flying towards my forehead.
The arrowhead that passed right in front of my eyes overflowed with blue mana.
“this… … crazy… … .”
I ran towards the archer with a tired expression.
As a result, he also wrapped magic around his legs and started running backwards, as if he had an intuition that if he was caught, the end would be the same.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to be caught quietly?”
“shut up! If it were you, would you stop here after hearing that?!”
After jumping backwards and screaming, the guy draws the string of his empty bow.
At some point, an arrow made of pure magic settled in his hand.
Feeling ominous, I immediately raised my magic power.
But time is running out.
There was no proper evasive maneuver or enough time to shove mana into the sword.
“Be quiet and search-!”
There wasn’t a big time difference between him letting go of the bowstring and the flash of light filling my field of vision.
The magic cannon, which is made of magic and is hard to see as a simple arrow anymore, goes straight toward me.
The moment he was about to swing his sword and cut the magic arrow in two.
“Taeyang-kun! Catch it!”
A flag spear descends from the sky and sticks right in front of it.
Without hesitation, I grabbed the window sill.
The handle still retains the warmth she held a moment ago.
At the tip of the flagpole flutters the blue Orléans peacock flag.
The moment he grabbed the white flag spear full of magical power.
A flash of light overtook me.
– You have equipped a flag spear with [Saint’s Protection].
-Saints of France share your pain.
High-density magic power explodes right in front of you.
I endured the aftermath by relying on a spear pole that was firmly planted through the ground.
I expected a huge shock, but there was not a single wound.
Chevalier’s public ability. [Blessing of the Holy Maiden].
A property that shares all kinds of pain, such as physical wounds, psychological pressure, and trauma, suffered by the target you designate.
Of course, if an ordinary person did this, it would be an emergency run, but Chevalier is different.
Turning her head, she held her stomach for a while, then curled her fingers and gave an OK sign as if she was okay.
In front of Chevalier, you can see the fallen enemy team Bruiser – Melee Warriors.
If she had been an ordinary human being, there would have been no chance of being chosen as a saint and inheriting the legacy of Jeanne d’Arc.
It must have been the result of arduous training at the Vatican Cathedral, which can be said to be the headquarters of Catholicism since childhood.
In a word, she can be called ‘the future of the French Awakener’.
Now, in this match, there’s no way she’ll use the second trait she’s hiding, but she won’t know in the final.
Looking at the current situation, I dare to predict that I would be on par with Lee Young-woong in a state where I did not open the plundered attributes.
So she hid it without hesitation… … No, you have to induce them to bring out the second characteristic they don’t like to bring out.
The second characteristic of her that I know of is… … .
“Look around, please. Why are you so persistent!”
He began to put magic into the sword while watching the magic arrows that started from one strand and split into several branches.
I can’t stop thinking about it until here. This just makes the game longer.
The black sword he clutched with both hands spewed out white brilliance.
While I was infusing magic into the sword, I caught a glimpse of Yeriel in Kanghyuk’s hand.
ah… … .
The moment I saw Yeriel, an idea flashed through my mind.
That is how to properly use the dream of longing.
* * *
Lee Young-woong, who narrowed his eyes and looked down from the audience, trembled slightly between his brows.
Inside the arena, the melee is long.
It was natural. Because the tactics of the Geum Taeyang team were similar to those of the Lee Young-woong team.
Individual battles based on overwhelming power.
At first I thought it was stupid.
The difference between the Lee Young-woong team and the Geum Tae-yang team was clear.
The subtitle of the carrier who will be in charge of the team.
The implication of this was clear.
There is no guarantee of a clear victory.
If melee is selected as the basic strategy, it is necessary to presume that the carrier presses down the opponent and joins quickly.
Of course. Otherwise, it was as if there was no advantage in choosing melee in a team battle that advocated a small fight.
So it’s a team you don’t have to worry about.
I thought so. However, that is only Lee Young-woong’s prediction. Without saying a word, he looked at the scene where his expectations were wonderfully missed.
“Hey, Lee Young-woong. How long should I watch this? These kids have nothing to do with me anyway. I’d rather swing my sword one more time at a time like this.”
Hearing Cha Seung-hyuk’s voice from the side, Lee Young-woong turned his head.
The short amount of time I had to turn my head was enough to straighten my crumpled forehead, smile, and curl my eyes.
“Still, it’s a match between the same class, wouldn’t that be enough reason to watch it?”
“It’s enough, but we’ll win anyway, so it’s a waste of time.”
“no way. Don’t you know?”
“I don’t know what.”
Cha Seung-hyeok clicked his tongue and slumped back into his seat.
“That’s why you’re Tal. You’re always trying to change something.”
Hearing that, Lee Young-woong’s smile hardened.
There is no difference from the outside, but his pupils hidden between narrow eyes are cold.
“… … is it?”
“Uh, yes.”
That moment.
‘hey-. crazy’
A commotion broke out among the crowd.
Lee Young-woong and Cha Seung-hyuk turn their heads reflexively.
I soon found out the reason for the fuss.
There are two moments when the reaction of the audience becomes intense.
One is when a team that was at a disadvantage fired a signal flare of reversal.
This is not uncommon. If you have skills in the first place, you won’t create a disadvantageous situation.
And the other… … .
Golden Sun wielded a sword with high-density magic enough to be seen by Lee Hero from afar.
His sword ruthlessly cuts through the arena floor, leaving deep scars.
The scars on the floor were like those of an animal’s claws.
The crowd cheers for his sword.
… … This is the moment when the hero of the battle emerges through overwhelming performance.
“oh? How is it?”
Cha Seung-hyeok, who had been staring at his cell phone with no enthusiasm, also leans forward, perhaps interested.
Gold’s demeanor changed.
Beyond the sword’s light, the sword’s spirit rises.
The sword burns. The whitish-white high-density magic he created ignited a brilliant fire at the tip of the sword.
A sword imbued with flame creates a fence.
Block the enemy team’s archer’s retreat one by one.
“hmm… … , The battle logic also passed.”
As Cha Seung-hyeok said, it is definitely a wise choice.
The most important thing for an archer in close combat was a wide space.
Take away the enemy’s most important thing.
It’s definitely a good fighting style.
Like an elk trapped in a forest fire, the archer tries running back and forth, but is eventually caught.
She suffered a pitiful limp after being hit in the leg by a sword, but the cheers of the audience grew louder.
The general public would cheer for the struggles of the weak and fret over the crisis, but this place was different.
Now that the ‘protagonist’ named ‘Golden Taeyang’ was born, he no longer has any sympathy for the weak.
I just expect how the main character will cook the enemy.
The golden sun snatched the back of the archer’s head, which was dancing like a horse’s tail.
The hair, which had been moving back and forth due to gravity, was stiffened by the hands of the golden sun and the owner’s scalp.
The corners of the mouth of the audience go up.
When he pulled it out, the back of the archer’s head was tightly wrapped around the golden sun’s hand.
Disappointment and despair flash across her face at the same time.
The crowd savors that expression and at the same time goes mad to see it.
The moment he clasps the back of his head and slams his hands down toward the ground, people hold their breath and anticipate the roar that will follow and the end of the prey.
A small voice echoed through the arena.
“under… … hang, bo… … .”
The prey that shouts in a small voice that shouts until the end, the crowd that just wants to be ignored, and the protagonist they created.
Lee Young-woong thought that her head would of course hit the floor, and the next thing went as he expected.
The archer’s forehead descends toward the ground at high speed.
The expression of falling might be more appropriate than the expression of going down.
But there is no roaring sound as expected.
There was no prey that was indiscriminately shattered.
Right before he fell to the floor, Golden Taeyang stopped moving.
He looked at the audience and twisted the corner of his mouth and smiled.
He let go of the archer.
The archer, who would have seen the disc, stretched out on the floor, shedding tears and runny nose.
The audience immediately booed the main character they had chosen, but he dug into his ear once with his pinky finger that did not hold a sword, then blew a ‘hoo’ and disappeared with victory.
“Hey, is that guy funny? Isn’t it?”
Sitting next to Cha Seung-hyuk, who was giggling, Lee Young-woong could not understand Taeyang’s behavior.
To casually kick out the position of being the main character of the crowd.
Because if it were me, I could never have thought of such a choice.
Geum Taeyang and Lee Young-woong’s eyes crossed each other as they smiled twistedly at the audience from below.
