Inside a glass sphere in China.
"more. "Hurry more!"
Chinese wizard Zhuge Heon was urging his colleagues.
"Jegalheon. The score difference is 5 times. "There's no need to rush like that, right?"
"you're right. I guess Seong Ji-han's power doesn't count here."
"okay. "If you just look at the scores, it's true."
Using the Bagua stacking skill, he pulled out Geon☰ from the Bagua.
I kept looking down.
"But if he knew his score wasn't going up, would he stay still?"
"hmm… … ."
"They're coming this way no matter what. "We have to finish before then, or widen the score gap!"
"Oh, I understand."
"Lightning Storm!"
Zhuge Heon, who drew the heavenly trigram Geon☰, strengthened his lightning magic and struck the magic circle.
The already strengthened magic was further amplified through the magic circle.
A huge thunderbolt, far exceeding the size of the glass sphere, was about to hit the ground.
"uh… … ."
"Oh, the magic disappears halfway through!"
The lightning, which was about to strike the ground with great force, suddenly cut off in the middle.
The wizards looked under the transparent glass floor with trembling eyes.
A huge vortex of darkness was flying at terrifying speed.
"that… … "It's a sacred martial arts skill, right?"
"Well, what is it? "Did you come here?!"
"shit. How can they say that the score didn't go up... … ! "It has to fit the purpose of the game!"
"Do you think the enemy will take notice if you say something like that? "Either shoot him down quickly, or use defensive magic!"
Zhuge Heon shouted and instructed his fellow wizards, who were talking carefree about the purpose of the game, to respond.
Shhh… … !
The huge dark vortex disappeared in an instant.
Knock. Knock.
From a crevice above China's glass sphere, a knock was heard.
"hi."
Seong Ji-han has come out of the gap and is waving his hand on top of the sphere.
Just a little while ago, a dark spirit vortex was being laid in the distance, and now he had entered it.
"B-already… … ."
"Actually, I was going to destroy this right away."
Tuk. Tuk.
Seong Ji-han was lightly tapping on the glass wall.
"Then if the game ends, you could lose, right?"
Shoooooo… … .
I took out my shadow sword and made a light slash.
Sigh!
Then the players all split in half.
More than ten wizards were swept away without even being able to properly resist.
Except for one person, Zhuge Heon.
Before Seong Ji-han's blow reached him, a blue protective shield emerged and he survived.
"Tsk. You came quickly... … ."
Damn it!
When I saw the barrier breaking before my eyes, I rolled my eyes.
1:1 with him is the same as dying.
"… … Inferno!"
He tried to use powerful fire magic not on a magic circle but on a Chinese glass sphere.
"Eup, eup… … !"
Before I could finish the spell, my mouth and hands automatically blocked.
Zhuge Heon's movements were completely blocked by the martial spirit's control over space.
Seong Ji-han looked around with him trapped.
"There only needs to be one survivor."
Of the 15 wizards summoned from China, except for Zhuge Heon, all of them have died and disappeared.
China's magic circle was taken over by Sheng Jihan in the blink of an eye.
=Ah… … Holy player. Since the score didn't go up, they went to the station!
=They could have destroyed China's entire glass sphere, but since the game could be over, they decided to occupy it until the Korean team's score went up.
=What exactly are the game rules related to this?
=Originally, the game ends exactly one hour after it starts. Then, the level of purification and score are calculated to determine victory or defeat. However, there is no case in the map description for occupying the opponent's glass sphere like this.
= That's right. The distance between the spheres of Korea and China was enormous. This method cannot be done unless you are a skilled player.
A map that only wizards can participate in, The Wizard's Punishment.
The players involved here plan to use magic to increase their scores.
I never thought about attacking someone else's sphere in the distance.
-I was fed up when my score didn't go up, but I'm not at ease again.
-ㄹㅇ The score difference of 5 times is gradually narrowing. Now, if the score is reversed, will Seong Ji-han break the Chinese sphere?
-But isn't it a bit too much to worry that the game will end if you destroy the sphere? If that works, from now on, the game will be over if those who are ahead destroy the sphere themselves.
-It seems like they just wanted to tap on the stone bridge and cross it since it was the last game. Anyway, it's not that difficult to suppress or destroy it, haha.
-Wow, but our country's wizards are weak… … The 5x difference in scores will not be narrowed anytime soon haha.
- Since there is no sacred place, it is difficult to destroy the barrier created again on the ground ㅡㅡ I think we need to solve the power imbalance.
Once Seong Ji-han took over the Chinese magic circle, their scores stopped rising.
The Korean national team's score also rose very slowly, perhaps due to their lack of firepower.
=20 minutes left!
=National team wizards. I need to give myself a little more strength!
=Ah. A barrier is about to be created again... … !
=If we just break that, I think we'll somehow surpass China's score... … .
"That won't work."
Seong Ji-han, who was practicing martial arts in a Chinese glass sphere, sighed softly.
I thought that if we made it this far, the national team wizards would naturally finish it off.
I never thought we would still be able to catch up to the gap that widened in the beginning.
If I did this wrong, I could have overpowered them all and lost because the time limit was exceeded.
"let's go."
Seong Ji-han floated Zhuge Heon and went outside together.
From far away.
The glass sphere of the Korean national team, which looked like a dot, was pouring out fire and lightning.
However, at a glance, it was clearly weaker than what the Chinese sphere showed.
It would take a year to break the earth barrier with that.
'I guess I'll have to break it instead.'
Outside the glass sphere.
Seong Ji-han gave strength to both feet.
Tuk. Fighting… … !
Glass that cracks in an instant.
A strong electric current swirled around the phoenix flag held in my right hand.
Swish!
The spear left Seong Ji-han's hand and disappeared into the clouds.
Honwon Shingong Clean Yuan God Skills
Heavenly Thunder God's description
Heavenly Judgment
And not long after.
Flash!
A hole opens in the sky next to the Korean national team's base.
A huge spear of lightning struck the ground.
=Ah. The Heavenly Spear used by Seongjihan narrows down the ultra-long distance!
=Is it possible to use it even at that distance? This player... … There really are no limits!
=The national team's magic begins attacking again through the breached barrier. The scores are rising!
=Oh. Well, it's finally turning around... … !
Seong Ji-han confirmed that the score had been reversed and looked at Zhuge Heon, whom he was floating.
"Jegalheon. Then, see you at the next Space League."
Although he is an enemy on the national team, he is a teammate on the human team.
Seong Ji-han waved his hand at him once and then clenched his fist.
pop!
Then, Zhuge Heon's whole body explodes and he logs out.
After eliminating all Chinese players, he checked the progress of the game.
'The game doesn't end even if there are no survivors.'
Next time I get hit with a map like this, I'll just have to eliminate everything from the beginning.
Seong Ji-han went through the confirmation process and looked at his feet.
A glass sphere that was a Chinese base.
What will happen if this too is destroyed?
'It's a test.'
Kwazizig!
When Seong Ji-han put pressure on his feet, the glass walls cracked at the same time, and red electric current swirled around the glass pieces.
Then, in an instant, the glass sphere was wrapped in red lightning and melted.
Let China's base disappear at once.
[The opposing team's magic circle has collapsed, so the punishment ritual can no longer proceed.] [The 'China' team's score ends like this.]A system message appeared on both the surviving players and the game broadcast screen.
A Wizard's Punishment map where the game continues even if the opposing team's base is destroyed.
"I guess I'll have to wake up right away next time."
Seong Ji-han looked down at the glass shards falling to the ground.
A very relaxed expression.
At first glance, it seemed so easy that it even seemed boring.
and.
[The game ends.] [Korea wins.]Game 5 ended like that with the opponent being wiped out.
* * *
=Ah… … Seong Ji-han seems to have the composure of a strong man.
=5 games. This is how it ends… … .
= Player Seong Ji-han. He also clearly shows why he deserves a Phil ban.
The Chinese commentators were looking forward to it, but when they saw the video of the game in which they were completely overpowered by Seong Ji-han, they lost all their strength.
=I'm disappointed about the 4th game. If Seong Ji-han had been banned back then, the game could have ended there.
=Even in the next game, he must be banned. Of course, there are many outstanding players in Korea such as Yoon Se-jin and Yoon Se-ah, but none of them are as good as Seong Ji-han.
=From the director's perspective, he was pursuing a complete victory, but was dealt a blow.
=Still… … I'm glad this player is on the same side in the next game.
=When they are enemies, they are a disaster, but when they are on the same team, they are the most reliable players.
=You can never get banned at that time. Castle player!
Still, the tone of the Chinese commentators who mentioned Seong Ji-han was not that aggressive.
Although we were enemies when we were on the national team.
When he was the representative of humanity, he was a more trustworthy ally than anyone else.
-Those crazy breads… … A game where everyone wins!
-Director This crazy guy should have been banned all along. He let his guard down in the 4th game, and what kind of comeback loss is this? … .
-The director needs to be kicked out and a new person appointed!
-Even if we were banned only once out of 4 or 5 games, we still won... …
-under. Have we ever lost to Panz?
-Nothing except in the early days of Battle.net, when the game wasn't properly established.
-That bored expression makes me even more angry.
Contrary to the calm tone of the commentators, Chinese viewers went into an uproar after losing first place.
Seong Ji-han's arrogant expression looking down at the floor was posted on the front page of a Chinese portal.
Foreign media outlets also reported the results of this game by putting the facial expressions from that time on their front pages.
"Jihan. "I can finally see your face!"
Meanwhile, inside the penthouse.
Seong Ji-han was having tea time with Sophia and Yoon Se-ah, who came to his house.
"uncle. Did you get a good picture of the face? "You look very arrogant."
"Sea. What are you talking about? "This is the leisure of the strong!"
Sigh.
He smiled while looking at his face that Yoon Se-ah was showing on her cell phone.
"The five games were so smooth that my true feelings came out. "I was rather nervous about the fourth game."
"ah. 4 games. Jihan… … I was nervous during the 4th game. "I never dreamed that Jihan would even have the ability to provide support."
"me too. "You don't have any weaknesses anymore?"
"Well, the van is our weak point."
In fact, if the Golem duel map is drawn again, the Heavenly Beast God, which consumes life energy, cannot be used again, so it is still a weakness.
Seong Ji-han did not necessarily mention this in this place where Sophia was present.
"but… … If I had been banned in game 4, I would have lost. "There was an uproar in China asking why they didn't ban my uncle during the 4th game and that the coach should be brought down."
"But that's because Jihan hid his support ability. "Don't you think the Chinese coach made a reasonable choice at that time?"
"huh. "It's all about results."
"ah. But if this happens, does the need for supporter power disappear? Too bad... … ."
"We need support power. "I might get banned."
"oh! Then how about me? I speak Korean to some degree now. "You can communicate smoothly with your supporters!"
Seong Ji-han smiled bitterly when he saw Sophia attacking him as soon as he said he needed it.
Even after seeing the results of the golem duel, there is no sign of giving up at all.
"Aren't you getting love calls from America too?"
"I hear people telling me to join the national team. But I want to win the Champions League with Jihan in Korea~"
"uncle… … Now let's just accept it. Uncle Masid has been asking about naturalization these days. Let's make a dream team!"
"… … "Sophia is like that, but what's wrong with you?"
"Why? Let's win the Champions League! "Scouting is something that other countries can do, there's nothing that our country can't do!"
Since becoming a member of the national team, has your desire to win the Champions League intensified?
Yoon Se-ah, who had previously just ignored Sophia's story, also tried to persuade Seong Ji-han.
Actually, there was Sofia in game 4.
If Mashid had been there during the 5th game, we wouldn't have been so ridiculously pushed back by China.
"done."
Around the time when Seong Ji-han was waving his hands at the two's persuasion.
[The constellation 'Rain God' is contacting you urgently.] [He requests that you tell us more about the operation of enemy mines.]An urgent message arrived from Raishin, who I had lost contact with after receiving the chair.
