"You won."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The Chinese coach smiled as he received congratulations from the coaching staff.
With 2 wins and 1 loss, we have entered the fourth game of the 'Golem Duel'.
Victory was now a possibility.
"Game 3 was the most difficult. "I was lucky."
3 games that would have been lost if the Valhalla map had been used or Seong Ji-han had been released from the ban.
Luckily, both variables favored China, giving it an advantage.
If even one thing had gone wrong, this series might have been lost.
The Chinese director thought.
'Before Korea goes any further, we must win the Champions League this year.'
The Korean national team has risen rapidly since the emergence of Seong Ji-han.
The coach believed that this team would become stronger in the future.
In Korea, not only was there a sacred guild, but there was also a waiting guild that he created.
'Nowadays, they accept players from all over the world, but their arms are bent inwards. If another Korean talent comes out, I will definitely support them.'
If only one more player like Yoon Se-jin and Yoon Se-ah were added to the current Korean national team.
China will not be able to avoid being weak against Korea in the regional league.
In fact, today's game was just lucky that it turned out like this.
If you were unlucky in drawing a map, the result of the game could have been overturned at any time.
'We take first place this year.'
The Chinese coach crossed his arms and looked at the game screen.
At both ends of the huge stage.
There were ten giant steel golems standing in a row.
A Korean golem located at the eastern end, and a Chinese golem located at the western end.
Supporters participating in the game were not seen on stage.
In an independent space called the 'Golem Control Room', they worked on giving buffs to the golems of their respective camps.
"As expected, our golem is bigger."
"The level of supporters in Korea is low. "It's a natural result."
Chinese golem and Korean golem.
When you look at the sizes of the two, the Chinese side is about 1.5 to 2 times larger.
It seemed like an adult and a child were facing each other.
Golem size varies depending on what buff the supporter grants.
"Was the level of Korean supporters that high? "There is a bigger difference in size than expected."
"The impact of Lee Jin-wook being banned will also be significant. "Because that player is the core of Korea's supporters."
"Hehe… … Anyway, this game. "Win or lose has already been decided."
Seeing the size of the golem, the Chinese coach became even more confident of victory.
"I need to prepare for Seungri's interview."
"yes. "Reporters are already waiting."
The Chinese director was gleeful, looking away from the screen and thinking about what to say during the interview.
"uh. uh… … !?"
"Go, Director. "Look at that."
"A Korean golem… … "It's strange!"
I looked at the coaching staff in shock at the screen and frowned.
What's so strange all of a sudden?
Then he turned his head and looked into his eyes.
"… … What, what? That plant golem... … ."
On top of the steel, a golem with overgrown stems and leaves.
thud! thud!
I could see him kicking the floor and rushing towards me.
* * *
-Wow, I lost… … .
-Losing 3 games is too big ㅠㅠ
-70% of Valhalla did not explode, but 50% of the sacred van did. Why are the odds like this? Really ㅡㅡ
-Look at the terrible Chinese director, they banned Lee Jin-wook.
-No, even if you don't get banned, you win... … .
When the golem duel map was decided on 4 games, Korean fans accepted defeat.
Before they see the players in the Golem control room.
When I saw the difference in the size of the golems between the two countries, I completely gave up on the game.
-Look at the size difference haha. It looks like a fight between a child and an adult.
-Why is the difference in supporters so severe? There was no command order either.
-Didn't you see the warriors volleying in the first game? These players have survived the competition of 1.3 billion people, so their basic level differs except for the top players.
-Ugh, it can't go on like this… … Sophia, please naturalize quickly!
-ㄹㅇ To win the Champions League, we need to bring in Sofia;
Faced with losing 4 games.
Korean fans are starting to seriously push for Sofia's naturalization, which started out as a joke.
However, the screen that initially showed the waiting golem changed focus to the golem control room.
Everyone had question marks in the chat window.
-??
-Did I see something wrong? It's a sacred place, right?
-yep; Why is Seong Ji-han there?
-Somehow, no matter how powerful China is, our golem is too small... … It was like there wasn't a single supporter haha.
-No, did you want to play in at least 4 games? … .
Seong Ji-han proudly participated in the war as one of the 10 supporters.
"Now, can I give the buff and heal to that golem core?"
He looked at the golem core assigned to him and asked a question to the supporter next to him.
"yes. that's right. If you give a buff to that golem core, the assigned golem will become stronger. If the damage is severe, it can be repaired by applying a heel."
"okay. But there is a big difference in the size of the golems between us and China. "Why is this happening?"
"The size is initially set based on support-related skills, abilities, and equipment. maybe… … That sacred player doesn't have any related abilities, so I think our golem is small... … ."
The female supporter kindly explained to Seong Ji-han, but trailed off.
Even when Seong Ji-han said he had something to experiment with and joined the 10 supporters.
I was hoping that his amazing abilities would strengthen the golem's basic base.
'It wasn't at all.'
Contrary to expectations, the Korean golem was even smaller and worse than usual.
Did Seong Ji-han's participation in the war ultimately end in failure?
"All right. "Then, let's try an experiment."
"ah. Experiment… … "Isn't it over?"
"It starts now."
Seong Ji-han looked at the golem core under his jurisdiction and placed his hand on it.
The red-colored spherical object, the golem core, did not move much despite his touch.
'Let's use Cheonju Gangshin in this state.'
The 5th Destruction Gyeongcheonju River God.
As the body was torn apart by Dongbangsak, this martial art was found to give the user powerful regenerative powers like an elf.
Seong Ji-han used it while holding the golem core.
Perhaps because his current physical condition is normal, the energy of life was running around in Seong Ji-han's body.
Flash!
Green flashes on the red golem core.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … !
Green leaves and stems began to form on the steel golem's body.
"uh. uh… … Oh, the golem... … !"
The supporter who was watching Seong Ji-han from the side was surprised and made a fuss.
'I don't know if this is working well.'
Seong Ji-han tilted his head even after seeing his golem's appearance change.
It seems like it has the effect of Heavenly Beast Gangsin... … .
"How does this move?"
"We can only give buffs, we cannot control it. If you give the command to rush while holding the golem core, the battle begins from then on. When other supporters are ready, it is common for them to all shout out to charge... … ."
"rush."
Seong Ji-han overheard a supporter saying that everyone should work together.
He immediately ordered his golem to charge.
OK.
thud! thud!
Seongjihan's golem stood side by side with the 9 golems.
I jumped out of my seat and started running.
"what. what? Why does he jump out first?"
In battles where charging at the same time is important.
When one of the golems suddenly acted alone, one of the supporters shouted, asking what he was doing.
"ah… … That's Seongjihan's golem."
"Yeah, really? Well, you can rush. and! "Your appearance has become unusual?"
When it was said that it was a golem controlled by Seong Ji-han, the supporter who had raised his voice quickly lowered his tone.
Not anyone else.
They could not dare to point out to Seong Ji-han, who was the core of the national team, why he was not on display.
"I'm sorry. "It's my first time ordering, so I haven't prepared the display."
"Gwae, it's okay! anyway… … ."
It's a losing game.
The supporter who was about to say that opened his eyes wide when he saw the game screen.
bang!
Seong Jihan's golem charged in alone.
One Chinese golem was crushed.
'That…' … 'It breaks that easily?'
In a golem duel, the fact that the golem is 1.5 to 2 times larger means that its performance is also that much better.
It was impossible for a small golem's body to be crushed like that by a punch.
'I heard that Seong Ji-han came in to conduct an experiment... … Did it have any effect?'
The supporter's eyes lit up and he shouted to his colleagues around him.
"Everyone, give the order to charge!"
thud. thud.
Following Seong Ji-han's golem at the forefront, the 9 Korean golems quickly began charging towards the Chinese camp.
The golem duel, which usually starts with all buffs applied, started earlier than usual.
* * *
=Ah… … ! A clash between the golems of the two countries. Now slowly… … The outline is revealed.
=Chinese Golem, 5 damaged. Korea is… … Unit 8 is damaged!
A fierce golem duel between the two countries.
The number of surviving golems was as expected before the game started.
There were more in China.
Considering only the surviving golems so far, it seemed that victory in the battle would ultimately go to China.
-and… … .
-Holy Golem. Are you alive again?
In reality, the situation did not go that smoothly.
"Well… … I have to kill him quickly! what are you doing?"
The Chinese coach, who was preparing for a victory interview before the game, pointed a finger at the screen with a red face.
On the screen he is looking at.
bang! bang!
Five Chinese golems surrounded the sacred golem and were lynching it all at once.
Excessive!
Under the onslaught of a golem twice as big as himself.
The stems and leaves were trampled, and the sacred golem's body was crushed.
Flash!
I thought there was a green light shining on the distorted body.
The sacred golem's body returned to its original state.
-Wow, I played it again haha.
-What kind of buff do you use that makes you immortal? thief
A sacred golem that restores its original appearance no matter how much it is torn apart.
Even if that golem was hit like that.
Swish!
He grabbed the foot of the Chinese golem that was kicking him and kicked it, rolling around on the ground.
A mud fight began.
puck! puck!
Whether you beat yourself up from all sides or not.
A sacred golem that mercilessly strikes the body of a Chinese golem.
bang!
Let the holy golem hit the inside of the body properly.
The golem core exploded inside, and the Chinese golem stopped moving.
=Chinese golem. One more thing will be damaged!
=One more thing was broken on our side... … .
=4:1, but somehow, I think I could win!
I thought I lost the 4th game, so I was completely exhausted.
As the game progresses unexpectedly, the commentator gradually raises his voice.
The ones who were more excited than them were definitely the Korean fans.
-1 additional kill lol
-You got up after being beaten like that, wow… … .
-Wow, if this is the case, even a golem duel won't be able to stop Seong Ji-han.
-I do it all by myself, really haha.
-Korea has the potential to win the Champions League... … .
If we overcome the weakness of the Korean national team, even the golem duel map, this way.
Now the only thing that can stop Seong Ji-han is a van.
pop! pop!
Seongjihan's golem defeats one more.
When the numbers were reorganized to 3:1, Korean fans became even more excited.
'Cheonsu River God… … I'm feeling weak now.'
Seong Ji-han, who was breathing life into the golem core, reached his limit.
Because I kept trying to bestow the Heavenly Armed God, which I had not fully grasped yet, on the golem core instead of using it on myself.
There was a limit to its power.
=Uh… … .
=Leaves. It's disappearing... … !
=The stem does not regenerate either.
And, in a situation where it's up to 2:1.
The leaves on Seongjihan's golem fell to the ground.
He began to lose his once immortal regenerative power.
Then, Seongjihan's golem, which was powerful compared to its size, also lost its strength.
bang! bang!
The two Chinese golems began attacking like crazy.
"ah… … Ugh, how could it not?"
His golem was already suppressed by the Chinese golem.
A supporter who was watching the game from the side in spectator mode spoke with excitement.
"I don't think it will work. "I lost strength."
Seong Ji-han calmly judged the situation.
The game is over until the effect of the Heavenly Beast is no longer activated.
'I'll win next time.'
I need to further increase my skill level and catch the next game.
When Seong Ji-han made that decision.
Dudeuk.
Knock knock knock.
Seongjihan's golem was broken under the onslaught of attacks.
It started to twist strangely.
"uh… … I. Are you playing it again?"
"no. for a moment."
"oh. yes."
Seong Ji-han quieted the supporter next to him.
I watched closely as the magnetic golem was transformed.
The body of the bipedal steel golem was twisted.
Clap! Clap!
It soon deformed into a chain.
=No… … .
=This?
Before I knew it, only the golem core of Seong Ji-han's golem remained.
The long chain connected here changed into a shape that was hanging like a rope.
Slurp.
Slurp!
The chain stretched out in all directions.
Wrapped around the Chinese golem and further, the sky and earth of the stadium.
It spread out across the globe.
'… … what. that?'
Crack!
A Chinese golem that immediately collapses when wrapped in chains.
However, this was only a minor thing.
Tuk. Tuk.
The chain that extended to heaven and earth wrapped around even this one.
Kurrrrrr… … !
The distance between heaven and earth began to narrow.
And when the chain is about to move in earnest.
[Game 4 ends.] [Korea wins.]A game over message appeared and the screen turned off.
'This… … .'
Korea wins, bringing the score to 2:2.
But for Seong Ji-han.
Even more than this victory, the sight I saw a moment ago never left my mind.
'That…' … 'Is this the true face of the God of Heaven and Earth?'
