I rushed to go to the medical room. Even though there were 3 high priests here, Ji-Hae was still injured. I can't accept what that bastard did to my partner. I opened the door loudly, and immediately saw Ji-Hae.
"Hyungnim, you came!"
"You seem fine." I felt relieved after seeing that he was fine.
"Even though it hurts a little and I almost fainted, these guys are high priest class. So they have strong healing abilities"
"I see, I just wanted to see how you were. I'll beat that bastard if I meet him in the finals!"
"Haha fight hyungnim!"
Then I left the medical room, and I continued my fight.
I've finished all my fights today, tomorrow is the round of 16. Tomorrow I'm going to fight someone with storm shooter class, looks like it's going to be troublesome. This person is also an A-Rank hunter, I'll think about this tomorrow.
Then I went straight home with Ji-Hae, it seems all the wounds have healed. But I still get annoyed every time I think about that incident. Mauro Bueno, that bastard I'm going to beat up.
Ji-Hae won't be competing again tomorrow, so she decides to just watch my match. Tomorrow the match will be carried out until finding the top 4. That means I will fight until the quarter-finals, besides that tomorrow we can see the fan favorites for the 16 participants who qualify for the next round including myself.
I will prepare myself for tomorrow, and rest early tonight.
.
1 day later.....
.
Looks like the day has come, Ji-Hae and I left earlier just like yesterday. Ji-Hae is also the one driving the car, although he was beaten yesterday but he can still smile today.
"Hyungnim is excited! I'm sure you will win!"
"Don't worry, I'll show you an interesting fight."
After that I immediately parted with Ji-Hae, he went to the audience while I went to the participant's waiting room. Yesterday I used my bone armor to fight, but today I will fight without armor.
All of the participants here seem to be wearing very expensive armor, it's just that I can feel that they are all stronger than yesterday's participants.
Mauro Bueno suddenly appeared, and he glanced at me. He smiled and it pissed me off. But I have to hold back for now. I'm going to fight someone with storm shooter class, and I just found out that he's from the Black Canon guild. His name is Yang Chunso, he seems like a strong opponent.
After we waited for a while, on the arena screen they showed the favorite rating of the remaining 16 participants. And the favorite in the first place is of course Chong Seong-Hun, and in the second place is Mauro Bueno?? Why are there so many people supporting a bastard like him.
In third place is Kyong Hyo-Rin, and my name is in fourth place. Seems like I've been belittled a bit, but that's fine. In the end I will win!
Then soon the battle will start, the same as before there will be 2 matches at once, after that it will enter the top 8 and 1 match will be held at a time so that the atmosphere becomes more lively and tense.
It seems that it will be my turn to enter, I am the first participant of the day and I will fight with Yang Chunso.
"Participants are expected to enter the arena soon!"
*cheers*
I can feel that today the people are getting noisier and livelier. We haven't even started fighting yet but they are already very excited.
Then Yang Chunso entered the arena as well, he was in front of me. The cold stare, the long hair, the black eyes. He had the look of a terrible man, it seemed like he was going to be serious from the start.
"The two participants are ready!"
"The match starts in 3... 2... 1... GO!"
As I expected, Yang Chunso immediately used his skill. He shot a storm at me, it was a terrifying skill. He uses a large bow and also he has great skills.
He tried to keep his distance and aimed for my blind spot. In front of me was a sandstorm and Yang Chunso kept moving while shooting arrows. I quickly drew my sword, I charged towards the sandstorm. Using my sword ability, the sandstorm disappeared in an instant.
Yang Chunso shot a few more arrows, but I parried all of his attacks with ease. But it seems he hasn't used all of his abilities yet.
Yang Chunso drew his bow firmly, and the arrows he shot were extremely powerful. The arrow that was shot was accompanied by the power of the storm as well as a small lightning bolt. I had to dodge this attack, I quickly stepped to the left. But the arrow swerved and followed me, this would be a bit of a hassle.
I used shadow steps to move around and keep my distance. But the arrow was too fast, it even followed me all the way here. Moreover Yang Chunso took the opportunity to shoot a few more arrows.
I quickly drew another sword from the blank space, and I performed a spinning sword technique. I quickly shot all the arrows, including the very powerful arrow.
This is a technique I got after practicing with master To Kyung-Min.
"What an amazing move that participant Lee Won Myung made!"
"What will happen now??!?!!"
*cheers* *cheers*
Everyone in the audience was getting noisier, and the atmosphere was getting more lively. Yang Chunso was a little restless after seeing me do that. Honestly, I could easily bounce off the arrow's attack. But it would be too conspicuous if I used all my strength on that attack.
Although it was a little difficult but I managed to withstand his attacks in other ways. As expected the last 16 is much more interesting than all yesterday's fights. This feels so good.
Yang Chunso hadn't given up yet and he tried to attack me again, he used his skill to create an even bigger sandstorm. Besides that this time he used his ultimate skill.
The bow he was using was suddenly filled with lightning and wind swirled around him. The arrow he drew was shaped like a thunderbolt. Then he shot the arrow at me.
The arrow's speed was unreasonable, I was surprised. But I dodge by using shadow step. It didn't end there, the arrow split and turned into 4 arrows. All the arrows chased me like lightning.
Looks like I can't hold myself back anymore, activate black aura. All the black aura filled my body, and everyone looked at me in shock. My strength increased by a lot, this time I will hold it with one sword only.
I took a stance, then I quickly performed a vertical slash technique. Instantly the 4 arrows came into contact with my sword, but my power was much stronger. I couldn't resist my attack and the arena was split in two.
"W-What just happened?!?!?"
"It's a really great performance from participant Lee Won Myung!"
"Participant Yang Chunso also immediately gave up after seeing that!"
I didn't expect that he would give up, but naturally it was his ultimate ability and I managed to destroy his skill. I didn't expect to use black aura here, but I'm not sure I can completely withstand the attack with just my usual strength. Also my bone sword is a bit shabby, I'll have to replace it later.
After that our match ended, I returned to the participants' waiting room and I met with Yang Chunso.
"That was an amazing match, you are really strong hunter Lee Won Myung!"
"You also have extraordinary abilities, I must use all my strength to withstand it!"
"What do you mean, you split the arena in two haha"
"Haha I didn't think that would happen."
I didn't think that he was such an easy going person, and he was very different when he was in the arena.
"Anyway nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too."
Then he left the waiting room and he seemed to be going straight to his guild. And now it looks like Chong Seong-Hun is fighting too.
It was too fast, he won in just 30 seconds. It seemed the opponent couldn't do anything either. I even spent 3 minutes in the fight just now. It seemed like fighting him would be interesting, but of course my main aim was Mauro Bueno.
My next opponent has already been determined, it seems my guess was right. Kyong Hyo-Rin won against her enemy, and she will fight me next. Although it doesn't seem like it will be easy, it will be a fun battle.
Even though he and Chong Seong-Hun were still B-Rank hunters, they both managed to defeat A-Rank hunters who were higher than them. As expected, their abilities are far above the rest.
Against Kyong Hyo-Rin in the top 8 is not a bad thing, after I win I will meet Chong Seong-Hun in the semifinals. I can't wait to fight those two!
Suddenly there was a commotion in the arena, it seems that it happened because of Mauro Bueno's fight. He again won the fight quickly, and his opponent was mercilessly beaten. That bastard, he's still the same as yesterday. I will beat him in the final.
