-What, what is that attack?
-Was there a player like that in Japan?
-Looking at the Japanese kids' reactions, they don't know either?
-I heard it's Aoi Mizuhara… … That person said to be a supporter
-A supporter attacks like that?
To viewers who took Korea's victory for granted, the skills used by the Japanese player who suddenly appeared were shocking.
As the fiery chariot hits the ground, the ground instantly turns into a fiery hell, and the players burn.
The Korean warriors tried to hold on.
"mi. crazy… … !"
One by one, they were engulfed in flames, reduced to ashes, and disappeared.
-Anyway, those automatic doors.
-Without Seong Ji-han and the King of Swords, Korea is just at the lowest level of warriors haha.
-ㄹㅇㅋ
-But we still have Seong Ji-han, right?
Even though the warriors died like that, viewers were relieved to see Seong Ji-han standing firmly at the front.
Shuuk… … !
When Seong Ji-han's appearance flashed and disappeared, the situation changed.
=Ugh… … A player named Seong Ji-han… … !
=I was sucked into that fire temple and disappeared!
=Uh… … Aoi, who was on the castle wall, also disappears!
=Mizuhara Aoi was clearly registered as a supporter in the lineup... … How do you use these skills?
Seong Ji-han, who firmly guards the front lines, disappears along with Aoi.
The fire temple's flames rose strongly for the last time and then disappeared.
On the battlefield, the Korean national team lost more than half of its strength, including the front line fighters.
The Japanese national team, with only Aoi missing, appeared to be facing off.
"… … How on earth did this happen? "What happened on the castle wall?"
"Mizuhara did it! this."
"Mizuhara? "Aren't you a supporter?"
The Japanese national team players were dumbfounded by the current situation.
These people are also experienced professionals.
I quickly grasped the situation.
"We must advance when there is no sacred ground!"
"There aren't even half of them left!"
"Once we return to the sacred site, it will be over. "We have to finish the game before then!"
The Korean national team lost its front line due to the Flame Temple.
Although the Japanese players were in a defensive position, they decided to launch an active offensive.
"Change formation!"
The Japanese warriors, who had changed from a turtle formation to a wedge formation to a rush formation, advanced first.
Japanese archers and wizards coming down one by one from the castle wall.
In contrast to this.
"Ugh, the line in front of this has completely disappeared… … ."
"For now, retreat until the famous player returns!"
The Korean national team, having lost half its strength, began to retreat.
A situation where the offense and defense were completely overturned.
but.
=This… … Player Seong Ji-han is not coming back soon.
=The Korean national team has reached the end of the Southgate map!
=There is no more place to run to!
=No, does one game end like this…? … ?
South Gate is a small map that mainly involves battles at the castle gate.
Even if the attacker tried to escape, there was a limit.
The end of the map made up of black walls.
"ah… … ."
"This is ruined… … ."
"Sung Ji-han player… … "I thought you would come."
After reaching the end, the Korean team lost a fighter and looked in despair.
No, it was a game I thought would be easy.
How did this happen?
"done. "I'm backed into a corner!"
"Annihilate them before they reach the Holy Land!"
Meanwhile, the Japanese national team was triumphant and surrounded Korea's formation.
The power is twice the difference.
In addition, the Korean side had the fatal disadvantage of not having any warriors.
-No, what is this? Wait a minute! Fuck, I bet my entire fortune on 3:0!
-Why do you do such crazy things to earn 1%?
-I thought it was a safe asset. Argh!
When the sound of music is echoing here and there in the chat window.
Jerk. Jerk.
Yoon Se-ah, wearing light armor, came to the front.
"Void Arrow."
Purple light shimmered on the empty bowstring.
ping!
The protests bounced.
"Ugh… … !"
"What, what's happening all of a sudden…" … !"
In an instant, several Japanese warriors fell.
"uncle… … "I guess he went to rest for a while so he could do well before his debut."
Void Arrow works well even at the national level.
Yoon Se-ah looked to the side with a smiling face.
"Please provide cover, Akari-nee."
"Yes, Se-ah."
With the disappearance of Seong Ji-han, the Japanese national team was filled with hope for a moment.
A new despair has arrived.
* * *
Meanwhile.
[Battle Tube is turned off by the owner of the sanctuary.] [Do you want to turn Battle Tube back on? In that case, you will not be able to enter the sanctuary.]"no."
When Seong Ji-han answered that way, the dark world changed.
'This place… … 'It's like hell.'
Fallen sanctuary of Apollo.
This place was full of fire everywhere.
bang! bang!
Above the sky, flaming meteorites were falling here and there, shaking the ground.
Lava rose from the ground several times, creating an end-of-century scene.
'But it doesn't mean any harm to me.'
However, this intense flame had no effect on Seong Ji-han at all.
It was as if the world was completely separate from him.
As he was looking around, a red-haired woman walked out of the flames.
"You're here."
"Are you really Pythia?"
"yes. "There is also Shinan."
The blue-eyed woman closed her eyes.
Then, on the forehead above the beautiful features, a flashing light appeared.
Let the light come together in a circle and move like a pupil.
Seong Ji-han wiggled his eyebrows.
"This is what I saw from my sister. that."
"You mean the Void Witch? "Because she has Shinan, she must have been chosen to be a witch."
"Well, what is your role?"
"This one? There are a lot of features. "You can see the future, observe the world widely, and control the apocalypse."
Pythia then looked around.
"What does this world look like?"
"It's like hell."
"is it so. Summoning hell, realizing the end. Until now, I thought this was my power. but… … "It wasn't."
Flash!
Let Shinan shine.
The surrounding flames go out on their own.
Ice took its place.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss… … !
And where Seong Ji-han and Pythia were, an ice desk and chair appeared.
She pointed to the chair on the side of the shrine with her finger.
"This is going to be a long story, so let's sit down and talk."
"okay."
dump.
When Seong Ji-han sat down, Pythia got to the point.
"Did you find out something about the power from the hint I gave you back then?"
"no. Among the Ice Heavenly Swordsmen, I couldn't find out about Swordsman. "The sword wouldn't come out at all."
"Geomwoo… … Would you like to try it now? "In the sky."
Seong Ji-han nodded and took out the Eclipse.
Patter... …
A shadow sword that freezes in an instant.
He threw it into the sky with his familiar hand.
Honwon Shingong (混元神功).
Destruction of God.
Ice heaven sword rain 氷天劍雨.
Then, the sky where the meteorite fell seemed to have frozen in an instant.
Before the ice spring could expand, a huge sword fell from the sky and landed on Pythia.
A swordsman who never appeared in the Void Training Ground, but here he appears at once.
"Stop."
However, when Pythia's divine eyes sparkled, Geomwoo stopped in the air, unable to fall all the way.
When she saw the tip of the sword stopped pointing towards her, she nodded.
"As expected, that sword has a role in exploration."
"… … Why did it target you?"
"Because I went against the laws of nature."
"Providence of nature?"
"yes. "You received eternal life from the god of war."
Pythia then took her eyes off the sword and looked at Seong Ji-han.
"Do you know why races are invited to Battle.net?"
"I heard it from Artmu. "I heard it happens when there is a being that overwhelmingly surpasses the limits of the species?"
According to Artmu, Battle.net's invitation served as an error detection function.
When an overwhelmingly powerful entity that surpasses the limits of its species is captured.
It was said that Battle.net would send an invitation to that race and invite them to the deathmatch arena.
"yes. that's right. And the most important thing in judging whether a species has surpassed its limitations is lifespan."
"It's lifespan… … ."
"yes. How far has the species' lifespan been exceeded? That is the first criterion for whether an invitation comes or not. and… … "The swordfighter in Ice Heaven Swordfighter also plays that role."
"… … So is it an exploration role?"
Seong Ji-han looked at the swordsman aiming the tip of his sword at Pythia and expressed doubt.
"But why did that thing stick with the Uruk group? "Not all of them will live eternal life."
"Through a special ritual, he deprived his warriors of their power. What he took from there was not only strength but also life force. Geomwoo aimed at that source of life."
A warchief who was exceptionally strong among Uruk.
The reason he became so strong was because he stole the power of his compatriots.
But did it not only take away strength, but also lifespan?
Surely then, it can be called an error.
"And like this… … ."
Srurr.
A water sword protruded from Pythia's body.
This sword looks like a miniature sword.
He pointed the tip of his sword at Pythia, who had created him while bending like taffy.
"The swordsman with the ability to search not only aimed at me, but also at Martial God."
"Musin? I heard he was a god… … ."
Seong Ji-han recalled his conversation with Artmu.
When I talked to him about why the Battle.net invitation went to Earth.
When Seong Ji-han asked if it was because of martial arts, he laughed and refuted this.
[He is a martial god who has existed for thousands of years. If you reach that level, you will be treated not as a human race, but as a race of gods. If he was the problem in the first place, he would have received an invitation to Battle.net a long time ago.]Certainly, there was truth to what he said.
If the invitation was going to go out because of martial arts, it would have gone a long time ago. Why would it come in the 21st century?
So Seong Ji-han thought that maybe he was the reason the Battle.net invitation came... …
"Of course I thought he was a god. He gave us the power to live eternal life. He himself was a warrior and ruled the universe for a long time. But… … "Geomwu is aiming at him."
"So you're saying that Martial God is a human being?"
"It is clear that they are not from the divine tribe. And, a Battle.net invitation has been sent to humanity... … "Probably a human."
A wandering martial god who has reigned as a terror in the universe for over thousands of years.
He's human?
However, Artmu's rebuttal logic was not resolved to be convincing.
"but… … "If that's the case, why hasn't Battle.net been opened on Earth until now?"
"I don't know the cause, but… … It is clear that the tip of the sword is aimed at him."
"hmm… … ."
Geomwoo detects errors like Battle.net invitations.
And this was aimed at Martial God.
In the case of the 'god race' recognized on Battle.net, the sword would not have been pointed at him.
The assumption that he was human seemed at first glance correct.
but.
The question of why the invitation came in the 21st century has not yet been resolved.
'I guess it's still just a guess.'
Seong Ji-han decided not to make a hasty judgment.
at that time. Pythia suddenly flashed her divine eyes.
Then, a blue ice barrier appeared around Seong Ji-han and her.
The view from the outside was blocked.
"Perhaps you… … Can you wake up the third and fifth bells?"
"well. "If I practice martial arts more, it will be possible someday."
"Then is it possible to complete the fifth before the third?"
"You mean the fifth annihilation?"
Seong Ji-han frowned.
The fifth destruction.
Even though he was much stronger than before, he didn't dare to use that martial arts skill with the wood attribute.
Compared to the other four, this Destruction Gyeol was definitely on a different level.
"I'm not confident I'll be able to complete that anytime soon. "It is the final power."
"How did you do the fourth Ice Heaven Blade first?"
"That was possible because I got a sense of it when I saw you emitting cold air last time. "Before that, I couldn't even think about it."
"then… … To help you get a feel for this time, I'll tell you the name of the fifth species."
Pythia lowered her voice further.
"he is… … King of Erech. "This is Gilgamesh."
