[Epic Quest]- Defeat the hidden beings and meet the owner of the 'Space Arena'.
-Reward: Player selected as 'Space Arena Rookie' for next season.
- Shortened period of candidacy for the Holy See.
'Rukira… … There's something vague about it.'
Seong Ji-han frowned slightly as he looked at the rewards for the epic quest.
It doesn't give you actual abilities, so what's the benefit of being a rookie in the arena?
'Still, the shortening of the Holy See candidacy period is useful.'
A candidate for the constellation who can rise to the top by maintaining first place for 300 days with the star chaser trait.
Because of this condition, I thought I would have to wait until next year to become a candidate for the Constellation, but it seemed like I could become a candidate for the Constellation this year if I completed this epic quest.
'The conditions aren't too strict anyway, so I'll have to do the quest while fighting hidden beings.'
So when does the hidden entity come out?
Seong Ji-han crossed his arms and looked around.
A stadium cleared by flames so intense that opposing players thought they were dragon breath.
The floor was pitch black.
Beyond the stadium, the stands that stretched all the way to the sky were the same.
'The crowd in this arena can only see light.'
There were no signs of life in the huge audience, and only circular clusters of lights were floating around, protecting each person's seat.
At first, it seemed as if all the colors in the world had been gathered together, and the clusters of lights were shining in various ways.
Flashing… … !
A powerful light emitted once, and then everything started to turn red.
and.
[Among the hidden beings, we match the player with the right opponent… … .] ['Remnants of Avatar' are summoned.]A system message appeared before Seong Ji-han's eyes.
Grumble!
In front of Seong Ji-han's eyes, a huge flame erupted.
[#$@$… … @$!… … ]A flame in the center of the stadium.
An unidentifiable sound rang out inside.
I don't know what they're saying, but it's clear that it's language.
'It can't be translated even on Battlenet.'
Until now, Battle.net has translated all alien languages.
This one just sounded like an alien language.
Seong Ji-han decided not to care what the fire said and caught the fire spreading towards him.
'I guess it's because it's a remnant of Hwashin. That's quite a bit of firepower.'
At this level, it would be equivalent to the initial breath that was hit when absorbing the power of the Dragon Heart.
If it were another player, the flames would have been so intense that they would not have been able to hold out for long and would have burned their bodies in an instant.
'It won't work against the enemy.'
Unrated stats, Seong Ji-han, who had gained an enemy, easily controlled the fire.
The flame of incarnation that is instantly absorbed by the enemy's symbol hidden on the chest.
[…] … !@$!]Grumble!
As Seong Ji-han absorbed the fire, the flames rising from the center turned bright yellow and gathered towards him as the flames spread in all directions.
'It's good that you came on your own.'
Sigh.
Seong Ji-han moved his hands lightly and continued to absorb the fire.
-Saengjihan suddenly deals with fire. Did you awaken to the power of fire during your training this time?
-You used to use red thunderbolts before, right?
-At that time, lightning was the main skill.
Meanwhile, viewers are watching Seong Ji-han through Battle Tube and discussing whether he has gained new powers.
Shuuuuuk!
The flames that threatened to burn the entire stadium were quickly absorbed by Seong Ji-han.
People felt comfortable.
-Just two days ago, I was watching skilled players fight against each other, so seeing this holy game made me feel refreshed haha.
-But honestly, the game two days ago was thrilling, but in terms of fun to watch... … .
-There's no need for that kind of thrill. Winning is the best.
-This is how the game should be.
Shoooooo… … .
Meanwhile, the remnants of the Avatar are quickly sucked in by the enemy.
Where does the flame that threatens Seong Ji-han go?
The remnants of the fire that seemed like it would set the entire stadium on fire now only lit a flame in the center.
He was firing his complaints pitifully at Seong Ji-han, who was slowly walking towards him.
one.
"It lasts a long time."
Pop!
Seong Ji-han catches the flying flames.
As soon as he held the fire, the flame was immediately absorbed into his body.
The energy of fire gradually builds up in the enemy's pattern.
'this… … It's quite a lot, isn't it?'
At first, it was just Seongjihan who absorbed the energy of fire to deal with low-stat enemies.
When the number of flames emitted by the remnants of the Avatar was greater than expected, my eyes lit up.
'Maybe this... … .'
Jerk. Jerk.
Seong Ji-han quickly walked towards the remnants of the Avatar.
The closer he got, the more intense the fire grew, trying to block his path.
Shuuuuuk!
Seong Ji-han sucked in the fire with his palm and came close to the center.
And he stands tall in front of the yellow flames.
"hey. "Do more."
Crack. Crack.
By moving his fingers, he taunted the remnants of the Avatar.
Grumble!
Then, as if angry, a pillar of fire rose up into the sky.
The remnants of the Avatar radiated maximum power and resisted Seong Ji-han.
'Good.'
Seong Ji-han was rather happy and absorbed all the fire.
Then, the energy of fire rapidly accumulated in the enemy's pattern.
He stood still and continued to absorb the fire.
-It seems like the same screen keeps replaying lol.
-Why are you staying still? Let's see the end.
-Isn't it absorbing fire?
-The training certainly seems to have paid off.
For dozens of minutes, viewers were making comments while watching Seong Ji-han reaching out his palm to retrieve flames.
[The energy of the Avatar has been absorbed.] [The stat 'Enemy' increases by 1.]'Ho... … at las.'
Seong Ji-han's eyes sparkled at the message that came to mind.
Just in case, I waited even though I could have suppressed the remnants of the Avatar at once.
In an unexpected place, you can now raise your stats for free.
'It can no longer be absorbed into the pattern.'
After the stat increases by 1, the fire energy does not accumulate even if it is sucked into the pattern.
I guess I already ate it.
Seong Ji-han was disappointed that he could no longer raise his stats.
'Let's finish this soon.'
I tried to finish the game.
at that time.
[you… … Is. Is he the manager's successor?]The words of the remnants of the Avatar that I could not hear until now were translated and heard.
* * *
Sigh.
Seong Ji-han, who was about to stretch out his hand to finish off the remnants of the Avatar, stopped moving for a moment when he heard those words.
I can't believe I can hear words that I couldn't hear.
Is it because I completely absorbed his fire to the point where my stats went up?
[Can you hear me... … !?]When Seong Ji-han stopped his hand for a moment, flames flickered and he hurriedly spoke.
"okay."
[Are you really saying that you are the administrator's successor? Please, please destroy me from here... … !]As soon as he understood what he was saying, the remnants of the Avatar asked him to kill him.
"I was already trying to get rid of it."
[No, even if we extinguish this fire… … I don't die. You have to bring out your true self.]"How do you bring out your true self?"
[Just like when you summoned me earlier. Build a strong fire. Then my remnants will continue to be summoned. If you subdue it, at the end it will summon the main body from the arena to suppress you with fire.]"hmm."
As soon as he was summoned to the Space Arena, Seong Ji-han wiped out all his opponents with his abilities.
The force that worked at that time was solely the energy of fire.
Was that the condition for summoning the remnants of the hidden being, the Avatar?
"What happens if I use something other than fire?"
[Then, the remnants of other gods will be summoned... … These are fragments of dead gods who belong to the arena like me.]"That was the condition of summons."
[Yes. So, please bring forth the power of fire and destroy me... … !]Seong Ji-han stared at the remnants of Hwa-sin, anxious to die.
"Why do you want to die?"
[…] … I am forever trapped in the space arena. Because the only way to escape this horrible place is through death.]"hmm."
Are you willing to die to be liberated from the Space Arena?
Although Seong Ji-han heard those words, he did not believe them all at face value.
The alien beings we met in the Space League.
Because it was full of people who couldn't trust everything, including God and everything else.
Didn't Raijin also try to stab him in the back, but was eventually overpowered?
'But if you can increase your stats by absorbing the remnants of other incarnations. That sounds like it would be salty.'
The enemy's stat is now 6.
Each number of this stat had important value.
I absorbed the remnants of this incarnation to the point where my stats didn't go up any further.
If you summon the remnants of a new incarnation, you might be able to raise one more stat for free.
Seong Ji-han decided to summon one more for now.
"What are you going to do for me?"
[what… … .]"You're not planning on asking for work for free, are you?"
He demanded compensation from the remnants of the Avatar.
[Didn't you absorb my power? The successor of the administrator.]"That is my ability. "You should give me something separately."
[I'm going to give it to you… … I am a remnant of God bound to the arena. All I will give you is this fire.]"No GP or items?"
[There's no way something like that exists… … ! Even if you get something like that, the owner of the arena will collect it all!]Seong Ji-han quenched his appetite.
I got a feeling from the moment they said they were confined to the space arena.
Looks like you're really broke.
but.
'It's not like there's nothing to gain.'
Seong Ji-han is also a remnant of the embodiment of such slavery.
Compensation was found.
"good. Then 'Master of the Arena'. And give me some information about this space arena. With that, I will make your wish come true."
[Ask for information… … [Did you come here without knowing?]"uh. "I came for the promotion match."
[Before promotion… … Isn't it a constellation?]Grumble!
Flames rose from the remnants of the Avatar.
His voice became more urgent than before.
[Even though it's not a constellation, it's like this... … Joe, okay. I'll tell you. I will definitely let you know. So summon me.]"Can you give me the information in advance?"
[…] … Mentioning the owner of the arena will get his attention. I'll tell you about when you summoned your true self.]"hmm."
Seong Ji-han's eyes sank coldly.
The remnants of the Avatar showed signs of excitement as soon as they found out that it was not a constellation.
This guy.
Like the Thunder God, I think I'm having other thoughts.
one.
'I can't miss the opportunity to raise my stats.'
Whatever the plans of the remnants of the Avatar are.
Seong Ji-han was confident of overpowering it.
"I get it. "I'll complain and go up."
[good… … ! Then kill these remnants first.]"uh."
Shoooooo… … .
When Seong Ji-han stretched out his hand, the remnants of the Avatar that had been holding on for a long time disappeared at once.
[The hidden entity 'Remnants of the Avatar' has been subdued.] [After promotion, the level increases by 3.] [The constellation candidate period is shortened by 3 days.]'Three days is too long.'
A reward given just for subduing a hidden entity.
Leveling up by 3 was good, but the reward afterward was not very satisfying.
'One, if we continue to suppress hidden beings, we can shorten the schedule significantly.'
[Advance to the next round.]And then, round 2 began.
[Did that kind of species also advance into the market?] [Great luck was good. Such an insignificant servant made it to the second round... … .] [That guy is my prey. Don't touch it.]Seong Ji-han was newly summoned to the stadium.
I felt huge beings looking down on me.
Is it because everyone survived the previous game and came back?
Players who boast a much stronger presence than in the first round.
-How many types of dragon-level monsters are there? … .
-How do you match up with kids like that to compete on the human race Battle.net?
-It's a real monster war. The more it goes ㅡㅡ;
Viewers felt intimidated for a moment while looking at such giant monsters.
"I don't have time."
A flame blooms at the tip of Seong Ji-han's finger.
Grumble!
Let the fire attack the stadium in an instant.
-comfort.
-I'll use it in Hankyu lol.
-Why are they matched with Seong Ji-han?
For a moment I was intimidated by its size.
I felt the comfort of this sacred channel again.
and.
[Among the hidden beings, we match the player with the right opponent… … .] ['Remnants of Avatar' are summoned.]The remnants of the incarnation summoned just as before.
As before, he repeated the process of being absorbed by Seong Ji-han.
So, several matches proceeded similarly.
[Advance to round 5.] [This is the final round.]Let's enter the final round.
A change has finally occurred
