=4, 4 games… … .
=South Korea wins!
=Sungjihan player! He ends the golem duel map, which was his weak point, as a supporter!
4 games where everyone thought they would lose to China.
But the results were completely unexpected.
-Wow hahahaha I beat this hahaha
-I knew there would be something when I left Seongjihan.
-Hey, if it's like this, what kind of sacred means are you using to stop it? Is there only a van?
-ㅇㅇ They say they are experimenting with various maps for containment of sacred sites... … Will it work haha?
-Our country is confirmed to win the Champions League this year!
A golem duel map that can be said to be Seong Ji-han's only weakness.
China tried to take advantage of this map to its full potential and win.
Seong Ji-han himself took the initiative and put an end to his own weaknesses.
"Ji, Jihan… … Was this your experiment? "This is truly amazing!"
Director Noh Young-jun quickly ran over and greeted Seong Ji-han, who had logged out.
Is it because the game I thought was lost turned around at the last minute?
He had a very excited face.
"The last part wasn't what I had intended either."
"okay? Anyway, it turned out to be the best! Now, if this happens, I can get as many golem duel maps as I want! No, we can take it out!
The Chinese support team was the strongest in the world.
Since they also won the golem duel against them, it was safe to say that there was no way the Korean national team would lose this game.
To one excited director, Seong Ji-han spoke calmly.
"no. "It is difficult to continue using this."
"Well, so… … ."
"yes. "The side effects are significant."
A golem that regenerated like an elf under the power of Seong Ji-han, but eventually turned into a steel chain.
It was nice to see a new side to Cheonsu Kangshin.
'The life energy given to the golem is not restored.'
Even before it turned into a chain, the energy of life that circulated with the golem's core.
After the golem changed, the power it had given it disappeared completely.
However, there was no sign of the lost life force being regenerated in Seong Ji-han's body.
If I were to measure this in terms of ability, it felt like it was permanently reduced by 1 or 2 points.
'Until the Heavenly Armed God is further understood, I should refrain from using it on other targets.'
No matter how important the national team games are.
Seong Ji-han had no desire to win even at the cost of permanently losing his abilities.
"There are side effects similar to reduced stats."
"Yeah, yeah... … ! Then it won't work. "This map."
"yes. Instead, you can pretend that you can get out."
Director Noh Young-jun nodded at Seong Ji-han's words.
If you use that ability, your stats will drop, so there is no need to go out and play the golem duel map.
If you bluff that Seong Ji-han can come out at any time, the opponent won't dare to try to use this map.
"But if a similar situation arises during the Space League, it will become known someday."
"okay. Because the Space League is the most important game. "I hope that situation doesn't come up until we get to the Champions League."
"yes."
"anyway… … My stats are dropping. Thank you so much and I'm sorry. "Next time, it's okay to lose, so don't overdo it."
"Because I didn't know either. "It won't happen next time."
"okay. okay. "Then I'll go prepare for game 5."
Director Noh Young-jun patted Seong Ji-han on the back and then went back.
As soon as he left, Seong Ji-han thought back to the situation from before.
'It's a chain that touches heaven and earth, pulling them together... … .'
A martial arts god of the earth attribute.
This martial artist realized this when his whole body was cut apart by Dongbangsak's Taegeuk magic sword.
He has shown the ability to restore his body to its original state even when he is almost dead.
This is a power that is similar to or exceeds the regenerative power of an elf.
This alone had the merit of being considered for absolute martial arts.
Still, since it is the final saving grace of Destruction, it not only has regenerative power.
I was guessing there was something else... … .
'In the interest of protecting the energy of life, I will try to implement something similar.'
Seong Ji-han returned to his original position, thinking that he should deal in earnest with Cheonsu Kangshin, who had shown a new side.
* * *
=Everyone. It's game 5! 4-game golem duel map. The Korean national team overcame the map where they always struggled and entered the 5th game!
=Ah. We didn't expect that it would be 5 games. Chinese director. His face was dead. It's 180 degrees different from the confident face from the 4th game!
=If I had changed my position, I think it would have been like that! I thought I had won everything, but what a surprise!
=If this happens, it will be a headache for China to decide which map to choose.
=Our Republic of Korea… … ah. Directed by Noh Young-jun. Choose Valhalla!
=If this is the case, except for game 4, we have all taken out the Valhalla card!
The last match between Korea and China.
The expressions on the two coaches' faces were completely opposite to those during the fourth game.
"… … Seong Ji-han's support ability. Was it something that had been prepared in advance? If that's the case, Director Noh's facial expression management is amazing. okay."
No, I didn't know either.
Director Noh Young-jun did not bother to say such thoughts out loud, but just smiled softly.
"There is no need to tell us the strategy in advance."
"… … You are truly lucky. In the past, you had fun as Sword King, but now you are achieving good results as Seongjihan."
"That's right. Isn't it said that the best of all generals is fortune-telling? The drawing didn't go as planned until the 4th game... … ."
Coach Noh Young-jun saw what was at stake with the five-game map.
Due to losing 4 games, China, which was unable to use the golem duel, had brought out a wizard-only map called 'Wizard's Punishment'.
In addition to the golem duel map, 'Wizard's Punishment' was rated as good by countries researching whether there are any maps where Seong Ji-han cannot use his power.
This map, which only wizards can participate in, slaughters earth spirits from extremely long distances in the sky and measures who can kill more.
However, it was not a map that guaranteed victory like the Golem Duel, so it was pushed to the bottom of the list.
Perhaps due to the shock of the 4th game, it seemed like the map had been changed.
and.
[5 games is the wizard's punishment.]"oh… … !"
The Chinese director's face brightened, albeit slightly.
If we had been caught by Valhalla, even if Seong Ji-han had been banned, we would have lost like 2 games.
Fortunately, the map he wanted was selected.
'If only Seongjihan is banned here, we will win... … !'
Just like in game 2, Korea banned Lee Ryong instead of China's best wizard, Zhuge Heon.
If Zhuge Heon survives and Seong Jihan gets banned.
In game 5, due to the difference in wizard power, China can clearly win.
The Chinese coach hoped that the 50% chance would happen again.
[Ban card fails.]I wasn't so lucky with the ban card.
"ah… … ."
"Please take care of the last game."
Director Noh Young-jun, who was nervous, saw the results and stepped down with a sigh of relief.
In the Korean players' waiting room.
"I'll come back after the game."
"huh. uncle. "Go get MVP~"
"Because of the van, we didn't know the results until the end… … Have a nice trip. "Brother-in-law."
Seong Ji-han received a send-off from Yoon Se-ah and played in five games with the Korean Wizards.
* * *
Game 5 map, Sorcerer's Punishment.
[Entering the Great Magic Circle.]Seong Ji-han entered the game and looked around.
'Is this place above the sky?'
Inside a huge glass sphere floating in the sky.
Seong Ji-han and the Korean national team players were standing on a glass floor with a magic circle drawn on it.
The total number of wizards is 15.
"ah. I'm a bit afraid of heights... … ."
"It's so high up in the sky that it doesn't even feel real."
Before the game starts.
The wizards looked around and chatted.
And about a minute passed?
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... … !
Light sparkled on the glass floor with the magic circle drawn on it.
[Slaughter the spirits that interfere with the construction of the magic tower, and purify the land with magic.] [When you use magic toward the magic circle, the magic is amplified and hits the ground.]A system message suddenly appeared to the wizards.
"Magic damage is amplified... … ."
"Mr. Seong Ji-han. Is there any magic... … "Is it possible?"
"no. The fire you learned when you changed jobs? "You can use something like this."
"ah… … "Then it's awkward to write there."
The wizard who asked Seong Ji-han nodded.
No matter how strong Seongjihan was, fire was a basic magic among basics.
Even if you scorch the floor with that, you won't be able to do much damage to the earth spirit.
'It's difficult to use martial arts there.'
The prerequisite for the amplification magic circle is magic.
If you use a powerful martial arts skill here and the glass floor explodes, it will be a disaster.
Seong Ji-han looked around, and his eyes stopped on the ceiling.
"This glass sphere. There's a gap in the ceiling. I will fall through that path. "You guys are still attacking."
"yes. All right."
Shoo!
Seong Ji-han uses Jinggong to come out of the glass sphere.
Korean wizards began to use magic in magic circles in earnest.
"Let's start with fire magic first."
"yes!"
Let's cast the best fire magic that each diamond class wizard can use.
The magic circle quickly turned red.
Grrrrrr!
A huge fire spewed out towards the ground.
A pillar of fire falling straight from the sky, as if the end had come.
But that is.
Jiiiing… … !
It was blocked by a black barrier created from the ground.
"It looks like it won't be easy to catch."
"Let's strengthen the magic further."
"yes. And if Seong Ji-han goes down, won't the barrier be broken?"
"ah. I guess so. However, it breaks the barrier before falling. "There's no shame in being carried too much on a wizard map."
Korean magicians try not to place too much of a burden on Seong Ji-han.
While Seong Ji-han descended from the sky to the earth.
Although the two spells were further strengthened.
pop! pop!
'Barrier, it's quite strong.'
The strengthened magic continued to be blocked by the barrier created from the earth.
Of course, the barrier was not absolute, and the black barrier had cracks here and there.
Before Seong Ji-han fell, the wizards' attempt to deal damage ended in failure.
'I'll have to destroy it.'
Seong Ji-han, who was falling alone, took out the phoenix flag.
Honwon Shingong Clean Yuan God Skills
Heavenly Thunder God's description
Heavenly Judgment
A hole opened in the sky.
A huge thunderbolt spear extending straight down toward the earth.
This spear is half filled with red lightning.
It pierced through the barrier that had not broken no matter how many times the wizards struck it.
bang!
Seong Ji-han came down through the gap where the barrier had collapsed and looked around.
On the black earth, there was a whitish, sparkling dark red condensation.
'Is that the spirit that is the target this time?'
Seong Ji-han swung his sword lightly.
Sigh!
Then the dark red spirits split apart at once.
Even though it was a light blow, they were helpless.
'Compared to the barrier, it has no defense at all.'
No matter how basic the Hengsocheongun is, it's a group of spirits that completely shreds everything.
Seong Ji-han swung his sword and spear a few more times and cleared the surroundings.
=Sungjihan player! Break through the barrier that even magic couldn't break through in one go, and eliminate the spirits!
=You really do everything yourself! This is why I have no choice but to keep getting banned... … !
=That's right. China has finally broken the barrier. Seong Ji-han has already finished organizing everything!
The commentators watched comfortably as Seong Ji-han dominated the game.
Viewers also felt the same way.
-ah. It's really uncomfortable.
-This is how it is a game haha.
-Of all the series, this is probably the most comfortable to watch.
but.
This comfort did not last long.
=Korea national team… … The score doesn't go up!
=Player Seong Ji-han was clearly cut... … .
=Uh. Now that magic is flying from the glass sphere, the kill count is finally increasing!
=Do I have to use magic to remove it for it to be added to my score?
=This… … What are all these restrictions?
When you die from Seong Ji-han, your score is not reflected.
Dark red spirits that explode and reflect the score only when magic falls from the sky.
Maybe it's because the prerequisite of the game is to purify the land with magic.
No matter how much Seong Ji-han eliminated the spirits, it was not reflected in the score.
'hmm… … If we do this, we'll lose to China, right?'
Grrrrrr!
Far away.
Seong Ji-han thought as he watched the intense thunderstorm.
A force that appears much stronger even from a distance than the magic of the Korean national team.
Maybe that's where the Chinese glass sphere is.
Zhuge Heon, China's greatest wizard.
When I used magic on the amplification magic circle, it seemed like that kind of power came out.
'I can't help it... … .'
Sigh.
Seong Ji-han held both weapons and looked softly in the direction of the Chinese glass sphere.
If you can't raise your score.
All you have to do is stop the enemy from raising it.
Shoo!
Seong Ji-han's appearance disappears.
=The wizard's punishment. This map... … It seems to be a map that can be used against the Holy Land. Unless it's magic, your score won't go up.
=The Golem duel map was canceled, but you can attack it through this map in the future... … .
=Uh. uh? Holy player. It disappears. Disappear from the territory of the Korean faction!
=Where on earth did he go…? … ah. ah. I. That… … !
As Korea's score did not rise, the Chinese broadcasters were broadcasting with great hope.
=No. No! It's coming this way... … !
=Isn't this a foul!!
When Seong Ji-han flew towards China's glass sphere, he let out a cry of astonishment.
