With Seong Ji-han playing, everyone thought they would win the second game against Taiwan.
However, the content of the game was shocking.
=Player Hou Taek… … Fly in the sky!
=Uh, um, what are you doing over there?
A huge Taegeuk summoned by Hou Zek.
When it returned to the right direction, it sucked up the map itself.
=Even the train flies... … Is this even possible?
=Oh, Taegeuk turns upside down!
=The screen… … In an instant, you are immersed in darkness.
When turning in the reverse direction.
The white sword vomited darkness, turning the world completely black.
A darkness that no player can resist.
-What is that… … .
-Why can't I see the screen?? Error??
-I hope it was an error… … Jihan is defeated ㅠㅠ
-No, that old man didn't do that!
-Isn't that the best player in the world?
-What did you do when you weren't in Space League?
Viewers who expected it to be a one-sided game panicked when the game was ended in a short time by an elderly Taiwanese player.
but.
=Uh. uh… … .
=Grab, game result. Korea wins?
The results of the game were once again contrary to expectations.
=What is it? What happened to this?
=Ah… … The last survivor is one player, Seong Ji-han. Is Hou Taek listed as killed in action?
Even when Taegeuk rotated in reverse and the world went dark.
Of course I thought the game was over.
The result of the game was Korea's victory.
Jiyiing.
"Wow, shit… … ."
"What is that?"
"no. "Why doesn't that old man use his power in the Space League and do that here?"
The players all came out of the Battle.net connector with mesmerized looks on their faces.
"Eh? Did you win? Well, what is it? uncle… … "What happened earlier?"
Yoon Se-ah also came out of the connector with a similar expression, but when she saw the game result, she was shocked and asked Seong Ji-han.
But he.
"… … wait for a sec."
"Oh, yes."
With a serious face, he recalled the situation from before.
'I've never had a difficult opponent... … .'
After gaining martial spirit and gaining emptiness.
It was difficult to find an opponent who threatened Seong Ji-han even in the universe.
The thing that threatened him the most recently was Artmu's suicide.
Seong Ji-han's power was far beyond the normal level.
but.
'Taegeuk Demon Sword… … It was my complete defeat.'
A white long sword from Yeok Taegeuk.
The darkness it spits out is like my last life.
It was similar to the darkness that encroached on him during the time of destruction.
Martial spirit's ability to control space. Not even the power of the void could stop this darkness.
Of course, Seong Ji-han knew at that time that he too would die in battle.
but.
'… … When the whole body is about to disappear. It was only then that I was able to find a clue to the 5th Destruction.'
The fifth annihilation decision, Heavenly Tree God.
No matter how much I practiced, I couldn't understand what kind of mechanism this earth attribute martial arts had.
My whole body is shattered by the Taegeuk Demon Sword.
In the process of trying to suture the life energy that remained in the body, Seong Ji-han was able to find a clue to Cheonsu Kangshin.
'There is a connection between the life force of the elves and the power of Gilgamesh... … .'
Seong Ji-han suddenly remembered the old elf's words.
He went on a rampage saying he was going to invade Earth.
[Huh, this planet… … It was a world where the experiment had already taken place... … The race is too poor for that... … .]Since the Earth was already a 'world where experiments were carried out', I couldn't enter the portal.
Could it be that this has something to do with Gilgamesh's power?
'I've only caught a small clue yet... … .'
Just a small clue about the Heavenly Beast.
The entire body that had disappeared due to the Taegeuk Demon Sword was able to be regenerated through the energy of life.
Although the mechanism itself was similar to the one played during Artmu's self-destruction.
This time, the body was regenerated while the entire body was completely destroyed, so it was a level higher.
Of course, this regeneration is not yet complete.
If the darkness of the Taegeuk Demonic Sword had continued, the revived body would have disappeared in no time.
'Houteok's body couldn't withstand the Taegeuk Demon Sword.'
No matter how much Dongbangsak possessed him.
For the average player to use, the Taegeuk Demon Sword was too powerful a martial art.
When the Taegeuk Demon Sword vomited darkness.
Of course, Hou Ze's body could not endure this.
If Seong Ji-han had not regenerated, he would have died later than that.
Thanks to the revival, the victory and defeat of the game went to Korea.
Is that why?
A system message sent from Pythia popped out.
[Dongbangsak said, 'You endured the Taegeuk Demon Sword and came back to life. successor. 'I lost this bet.' It's unfortunate, but I'll give you a free prediction.]Dongbangsak admits that he lost the bet cleanly.
But Seong Ji-han had no intention of accepting this.
"I can't believe I lost. Hou Ze's body just couldn't bear it. "I can't accept victory, so tell him to stick properly with another body."
[no. What are you talking about? Dongbangsak admitted defeat, and said I would give prophecy for free!]"ah. The prophecy came true. "Let's fight again."
[no… … what the. How valuable is my prophecy!]"I said it was done. I do not need."
Seong Ji-han wanted to fight one more time rather than win the bet.
In addition to catching a clue about the Destroying God of Heavenly Arms as his whole body crumbles.
'Taegeuk and reverse Taegeuk performed by Dongbangsak. Just by looking at it, you can learn a lot.'
After gaining martial spirit, Seong Ji-han became the most powerful player in humanity in less than a year.
He has never had a single player to watch and learn from.
Because the state of martial arts was unrivaled, it could not be learned anywhere else.
I had to keep pioneering and developing myself.
'But his Taegeuk was different.'
The Taegeuk Demon Sword shown by a warrior named Dong Bang-sak made a strong impression on Seong Ji-han.
Even for someone who has no soul, it is a state that he cannot understand at all.
However, Taegeuk stimulated the subconscious and provided an opportunity to think more about the martial arts that had been trained so far.
'But because of that prophecy, I can't miss the opportunity to learn.'
Even if it means losing dozens or hundreds of times.
In order to raise the level of nothingness, Seong Ji-han was willing to accept death happily.
"Let's stick together again. "Ask quickly."
[…] … Are you serious about this? really? Aren't you curious about the future?]"I want to see Taegeuk more than the future."
[under. My prophecy is being treated like this... … great. wait a minute.]After Seong Ji-han expressed his intention firmly, Pythia sent a message a short while later.
[They say you can play until the next game. how is it. Do you want to do it?]"good night."
[Then just make sure I don't get banned. If you get banned for 3 games, you won't be able to play any games after that.]Seong Ji-han nodded at her words and immediately went to Director Noh Young-jun.
"under. Hou Taek... … Was it this powerful? "Why did you hide your power all this time?"
"Wouldn't it be okay to ban him from now on?"
"There are no special key players in Taiwan other than Hou Taek."
Although we won two games.
Because Hou Taek showed transcendent strength, the coaching staff decided to safely ban him.
Director Noh Young-jun also nodded and was trying to accept this opinion.
"Hou Ze, please don't ban me."
"Ji, Jihan."
"You just have to release three games. "You can do it after that."
At Seong Ji-han's words, Director Noh Young-jun was deep in thought.
From the director's perspective, it is right to ban Hou Taek now.
'I guess Jihan wants to fight him again... … .'
The problem was that the player requesting this was Seong Ji-han.
He has single-handedly led the Korean national team so far and is the number one contributor to turning a country that was last in the regional league into a contender for the Champions League title.
If you are a player who is greater than your team, his request is definitely the number one thing to consider.
No matter how much he was the director, it was difficult not to accept it.
"After three games... … "Does it really matter?"
"yes. That's right."
"I understand. Then, Hou-taek, let's solve it in this game."
The coaching staff looked at each other to see if this was the right decision.
I couldn't come up with a rebuttal.
Because they were well aware of Seong Ji-han's status in the Korean national team.
I couldn't say why I wouldn't be banned if I lost to Hou Taek.
There.
'Because we won both games... … .'
'You don't know, do you?'
Anyway, Korea won the second game as well.
Even if you let him go for one game, you can ban Houtaek for 4 or 5 games.
With the consent of the coaching staff, coach Noh Young-jun entered into a three-game ban and selection.
=Uh… … Wootaek Hou. The van is loose!
=Even after watching 2 games, you can't solve Hou Taek… … .
=What on earth are you thinking? Director Youngjun Noh!
=Even the Taiwanese coach doesn't ban Seong Ji-han!
= Instead, Yoon Se-jin gets banned!
=The map is like a bridge... … .
=Ah. If this happens... … Won't the results be the same as in the second game?
Only the map has changed.
With the same lineup as in game 2, Korea and Taiwan faced off again.
* * *
One leg.
In regular Battle.net games, it was a defense map to block the undead army.
In the national game, it was an invade map where both sides faced each other with a leg to their head.
Originally, warriors formed a formation and advanced on a large bridge.
The game was played with archers and wizards adding firepower from behind.
The three games against Taiwan were completely different.
"You want to give up the prophecy and fight me again? "You made a big decision."
Jerk. Jerk.
Hou Taek leisurely walks alone in the Taiwanese camp.
Every time he walked, his appearance changed a little.
The beard becomes longer and the hair becomes whiter.
Although he originally looked like a middle-aged man, he was now an old man with completely white hair.
"That's right."
And the player walking from the Korean camp was also the only one who made a mark.
He was fully prepared, with both weapons drawn.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to take out Taegeuk this time."
"Why not?"
"This player can't take it anymore. "If that happens, I think he'll die."
"It's a shame."
The power of Taegeuk that erased the map.
I wanted to experience it again, but the body I descended from was weak and I couldn't use it again.
As Seong Ji-han felt regretful, Dong Bang-sak stroked his beard.
"Don't worry though. "Wasn't the original bet for one minute?"
Pop.
He pulled out his beard.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Behind his back, strong demonic energy bloomed.
"Even with the power of the Heavenly Demon, we will be able to put an end to it."
Sigh!
He waved his hand once.
The air shook, and Seong Ji-han's left arm disappeared in an instant.
Heavenly Demon's Intangible Field
The technique that surpassed form erased not only the arm but even the shadow sword.
"Hmm… … ."
Dongbangsak, who had lost his left arm, looked dissatisfied and let out a sigh.
"The power of the Heavenly Demon alone seems insufficient."
That's right too.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Seong Ji-han's left arm, which had disappeared, resurfaced.
"It's only the beginning."
"Then, please show me properly. "It will take just one minute."
thud!
As soon as Seong Ji-han finished speaking.
The bridge collapsed, and Dongfangsuk's body approached Seong Jihan in an instant.
"okay. "I'll finish it soon."
Magi rushing in in an instant.
Feeling pain tearing through his body, Seong Ji-han smiled.
The Taegeuk Demon Sword was an inexplicable area.
I suddenly understood how the Heavenly Demon's martial arts were used.
"Intangible field. "Is this what you did?"
Shoooooo!
Seong Ji-han, who has recovered, swings his hand and imitates the intangible form from before.
A strand of Dongbangsak's clothes was torn.
and.
Sigh.
Dongbangsuk looked at the missing hem with a stern expression.
An intangible technique followed by Seong Ji-han.
For something I had only seen and used once, it was surprisingly similar.
"… … "Do you understand it as soulless?"
"yes."
"If you come in as my successor, I will make sure you never imitate me again."
Seeing this, Dongbangsak's demonic energy soared even more viciously.
