Chapter 18 - 228

The second Space League match to be held in March.

The entire world's attention was focused on this game, just as much as the opening game.

That's right too.

=Is there any game in the Space League that is not important? … .

=Today's game is especially important.

=Among the winning races, we came in last place.

=There is no significant difference in scores with World Tree Elf 71, who ranked 11th.

The current ranking situation of humanity is not very good.

-Now, a lot of dungeons are starting to appear.

-Even in North Korea, where the Sword King was completely defeated last time, the dungeon portal came up again?

-yep… … Also, the price of GP is rising.

Even when I was tied for first place, it felt like the world was better than it was during the tutorial.

As the point gap between each race gradually widened, and humanity fell to 10th place, the situation went worse than in the tutorial.

Still, it was still at a level that could be controlled by humans who knew how to subdue dungeon portals.

I didn't know what would happen if my ranking dropped further here.

=Fortunately, the opposing race is the lowest rank, Uruk.

=These are the races I met during Seong Ji-han's promotion match.

=The face resembles a pig, but the body is like a strong warrior.

= Player Seong Ji-han was overpowered too easily during the promotion match, so I wasn't able to properly gauge his strength.

=Isn't that the case with all races that are associated with holy players? haha!

Fortunately, my opponent was in the bottom 20th place.

The outlook for this game was positive.

-Urk really didn't look like anything special haha.

-What is the reason for going from bottom to bottom?

-Even during the promotion match, we were just swept away.

The opposing race is Uruk.

In Battle.net, where powerful alien races prevail, they were the most formidable opponents.

The second game where everyone is optimistic about victory.

'This is so. 'It's as stressful as the opening game.'

Rather, that's why Coach Davis felt pressured in this game.

The opposing race may be hiding some hidden card.

Because everyone thought they would win.

He looked around at the players in the Battle.net waiting room with a serious expression.

When his eyes stopped on Seong Ji-han, his face softened.

"Sungjihan player. In the end, he finished in 11th place. thank you so much."

Davis approached Seong Ji-han and shook his hand.

As requested last time, Seong Ji-han stopped the world player rankings from 11th place.

All positions are possible without being banned.

A player who shows overwhelming strength.

From a coach's perspective, being able to utilize a player like him was like a blessing.

"You have to keep your promises."

"haha. This time, I might play in every game. Please take care of me."

"Then let's finish in three sets and go home."

"As expected, it's reliable."

Director Davis smiled with satisfaction at Seong Ji-han's words.

[The coaches of both teams are summoned.]"Then, let's go."

Summoned to a separate space by Battle.net.

=Coach Davis, who was having a conversation with Seong Ji-han, was summoned.

=The screen is changing.

=Director Yang will be summoned to the representative office like last time.

=Director Uruk… … It is translated as warchief.

A pure white table suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The people standing at both ends of the large table are Davis, the director of humanity.

It was a huge Uruk, 1.5 times larger than Davis.

"Krrr… … ."

Uruk, whose lower fangs stuck out high enough to pierce his eyes, growled as he looked at Davis.

"humanity… … "Is this a race that has a hidden boss?"

=Ah. If it's a hidden boss... … .

=Is this a story about Seong Ji-han?

=It is notorious even on Earth! One-shot, one-kill hidden boss!

=Now that I think about it, I heard that an official letter was sent to each guild to maintain Seong Ji-han's ranking of 11th. Don't challenge the hidden boss, just ignore it.

=Aha. It's a strategy to prepare for a card ban. Because it will take 10th place!

=Yes. However, after interviewing the players, they said that everyone was busy running away even before the official letter came down. No matter how good the reward was, they said they couldn't even dare to take on the challenge anymore!

=With just one swing of the knife, it splits in half!

Beyond Earth, Seong Ji-han is a hidden boss who is gaining notoriety in dungeons around the world.

Are they also active on the planet Uruk?

As soon as the warchief met humanity, he mentioned Seong Jihan.

He then looked at Director Davis with sharp eyes.

"you are… … You're weak. "Why did you come forward as the representative of your tribe?"

"Because he's the national team coach."

"director? Crrr… … "I don't know what use a director without combat skills is."

The warchief laughed at Davis to his face.

[Choose a ban and select card for one game and place it on the table.]"we are here."

A system guide appears.

I took out the card I had prepared in advance.

=Our select card is... … .

=This is the Wizard's Tower!

=Isn't this map a solo battle map for the Mage class?

=In Space League, it changes to a team map. There are 100 players participating!

Wizard's Tower.

This map has two giant magic towers separated by a certain distance.

It was a game where the wizards stayed there and showered firepower on each other.

=There is some interesting data related to this map.

=Yes. During the match between Korea and China, Seong Ji-han played as a wizard!

=I thought China's greatest wizard, Zhuge Heon, would finish the game. It was a game where Seong Ji-han was defeated. This is also a game where Seong Ji-han's All Class is known to be extremely useful.

=The reason Coach Davis brought out this map today was to target player Seong Ji-han's participation?

As explained by commentators.

'Urk… … It may be a preconceived notion. Just looking at the appearance of the race, it seems like warriors are more powerful than wizards.'

Director Davis had his own strategy in bringing out the Wizard's Tower.

Among humanity's forces, the most powerful were the warriors led by Seong Ji-han and the Sword King.

If you look at the rankings alone, there were the most wizards in the top 10.

If it weren't for the irregular Seong Ji-han, humanity would actually be more powerful than wizards.

On the other hand, Uruk's data was only available during Seong Ji-han's promotion match.

'If you look at that game, only warriors and archers are active when dealing with undead, and there is almost no magic or support.'

then.

There was no need to fight against warriors whose opponents seemed strong.

The best move was to drive the game to the wizard map and add a hidden card to it.

Meanwhile.

=The warchief of Uruk also takes out a select card. I feel relieved that he doesn't do weird things like he did when he was an elf.

=The map name is Valley of Warriors... … no see. This map is said to be a large-scale battlefield with 2,000 warriors participating!

=2, 2000 people? Are you a number on the national team?

=It is said that play is conducted not from the national team, but from the 1st to 2000th ranked warriors of each race.

"Even though there is a hidden boss, you still choose the wizard map… … "Do you not have the pride of a warrior?"

The warchief took out his card and laughed at Director Davis.

He seems confident that the hidden boss Seong Ji-han is a warrior among warriors.

'It's much more comfortable than when I was an elf.'

Than the elf who didn't take out the card, so you couldn't tell what was inside.

Director Davis smiled as he watched Uruk openly pushing the warrior card.

"why. "Aren't you guys lacking a lot of wizard power?"

"joy… … ! Uruk is superior to you in every way!"

"Then you also took out the Wizard's Tower card."

"You can't do that! We will face the hidden boss. "I will show you that the strongest warrior is not him, but me!"

thud. thud!

The warchief pounded his chest strongly.

Director Davis broke into a cold sweat as his desk vibrated.

No, why are elves like that too.

Are all the kids representing you strong players?

'Of course, it's unlikely that a player like Holy Land will lose to that warchief, but in order for humanity to win, we need to thoroughly uncover its weaknesses.'

Coach Davis decided not to choose the warrior map and took out a ban card.

[Of the players ranked 1st to 10th in 'Urk', 3 are banned.] [Players ranked 1st, 7th, and 9th were banned. They cannot participate in one match.] [Of the players ranked 1st to 10th in 'Humanity', 3 are banned.] [Players ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 10th were banned. Cannot participate in 1 game.]Two races that exchange 3-person bans with each other.

Sword King Yoon Se-jin stared at the results of the ban and said one thing.

"I got banned. "Maybe I should have pushed myself a little harder and aimed for first place."

"The gap with Oliver has narrowed a lot, but won't your brother-in-law turn the tables next month?"

"okay. "Before my brother-in-law takes first place in the rankings, I should taste the top air for a moment."

"I see. "You have to go quickly."

"… … Seong Ji-han, you have confirmed your No. 1 ranking."

Ha Yeon-ju, who was listening to their conversation from the side, looked at Seong Ji-han with dumbfounded eyes.

"of course."

For Seong Ji-han, ranking first was a natural step.

'In the current situation where there is no national bonus. Even if the rankings try to slip, I just can't.'

In the past, latecomers were pushed down in rankings due to the national bonus.

Perhaps because national bonuses were not available at the moment, level was the most important factor in ranking.

Perhaps because the hidden boss Seong Ji-han is so powerful, these days he hasn't been able to earn as much experience as when he first came out.

Still, the level was already at 249.

"But Uruk. Are only true warriors strong? Maybe they're hiding their power like they did with the elves... … ."

"I know. Brother-in-law. "Did you have any dreams?"

"A precognitive dream? "I didn't have a precognitive dream, though."

Seong Ji-han watched the Uruk warchief on the screen closely.

The most powerful warrior warchief of Uruk before he was executed by the elves.

The author was the player who defeated the Sword King in two games in his last life.

'If the planet Uruk is selected for Battle.net, then there's something there... … .'

Even if it is a race that played together later in the relegation zone.

You can't let down your guard.

Seong Ji-han pointed to the warchief and said.

"That chief looks quite strong."

"hmm… … I thought so too. "If I get a warrior map, I'll have to be careful when dealing with it."

"Isn't there something to hide about the magician's power?"

"Probably not."

Even in the last life, Uruk's weaknesses were wizards and supports.

They were exactly what they appeared to be.

Let Seong Ji-han answer with certainty.

"Phew… … ."

"I'm relieved to hear Seong Ji-han say that."

Not only Ha Yeon-ju, but also the players around her who were listening to her breathed a sigh of relief.

They had rented it to the elves so much that they were suspicious of everything.

When Seong Ji-han, who has precognitive dreaming abilities, said that, I felt relieved.

and.

[The map for match 1 has been decided.] [Game 1 will be played at 'Wizard's Tower.']"oh!"

"The Wizard's Tower has been caught."

"Good results!"

"The director is lucky."

The map for game 1 was decided according to Coach Davis' intention.

Warchief Uruk looked at this result and frowned.

"humanity. "Even though you have a hidden boss, you have no spirit."

"What superior wizard power can you expect?"

"joy… … !"

The warchief snorted at Davis's sarcasm.

Let the game begin.

"Krrr… … ."

He looked away from the screen and closed his eyes.

because.

=Uh… … .

=The magic of Uruk. It's much weaker than I thought.

=The enemy's magic can't even reach our tower?

=Oliver and Zhuge Heon bomb the enemy's magic tower like a competition!

Because the game was too one-sided.

'At this time, the level of the Uruk wizard was even more miserable.'

Wizard's Tower map used in the Space League.

This place, where two magic towers stood tall, boasted a considerable distance from each other.

Still, compared to the magicians of humanity who are not limited by distance and carry out carpet bombing from afar.

"nice. Crrr… … ."

"too far… … ."

The wizards of Uruk were struggling because they could not use the magic themselves.

A battlefield situation like a cannon vs. bow fight.

= Player Seong Ji-han. It flies towards the enemy magic tower... … .

=Before that, the game… … Will it end?

=Urk, we are no match for firepower!

As promised to Pythia, Seong Ji-han tried to use Destruction Gyeol.

'… … 'It's over?'

Before he could use martial arts, the game was over.

=1 game… … You win easily!

= Player Seong Ji-han. The flight stopped midway.

=The game is over before it flies away, so there's nothing we can do!

The game ended with America's Oliver being selected as MVP.

Director Davis looked more relaxed and smiled at the warchief.

"You have amazing wizard power."

"… … Things like magic are nothing more than hexes. Uruk only reveres power!"

"okay? "It is definitely a wizard map."

Unlike the elves, Uruk is truly transparent.

Coach Davis also chose the Wizard map for two games.

"Krrrrr… … ."

This time I wasn't lucky.

[The map for match 2 has been decided.] [Game 2 will be played in 'Valley of the Warriors.']"good."

As the Uruk warchief looked at the results of the select card, he showed his vicious teeth.

"Bring out the hidden boss immediately. "I will kill them all."
