Space Arena Round 5.
The fate of the players matched in the round was the same as before.
[Even this species… … .]"I'm tired of hearing that sound so many times."
Even a low-level species like this would come in the 5th round, before the giant species even finished speaking.
Seong Ji-han set his fingers on fire.
Grumble!
Then the players were incinerated at once.
[This guy!] [Is it the dragon's fire? I can tolerate this much… … !]Of course, perhaps because they were skilled players who made it to the 5th round, they lasted longer than their opponents at the previous stage.
"Are you doing it?"
Let fire bloom once more at the tip of Seong Ji-han's finger.
A huge firestorm struck the stadium again.
Until the 5th round, the enemy's stats rose to 8 thanks to continuing to absorb the remnants of the Avatar.
Although the number of stats itself was small, the firepower it possessed was overwhelming.
-5 rounds are no problem.
-If you were a normal human player, you would likely be eliminated in the first round.
-You can't think from sacred standards anymore haha.
-ㄹㅇ It was two days ago that we lost to the Join people.
When viewers were talking about Seong Ji-han deleting players in less than a minute every time, they should not disparage their opponents using this.
[Cleared 5 rounds in the shortest time.]pop! pop!
In the sky, huge fireworks were constantly exploding as if celebrating the end of Seong Ji-han's round.
and.
[Cleared the special achievement, 'Space Arena – Conquer Gate 1'.] [Gain 2,000,000 achievement points.] [Attention as a promising star in the Space Arena.] [The race 'Humanity' was locked in the Bronze League. Some community features will be unlocked.] [Do you want to end the promotion battle?] [If you do not end it, a hidden entity will appear.]'Community features?'
I'll have to check this later.
Seong Ji-han read the message through and clicked No on the message asking if he wanted to end the promotion match.
OK.
[Among the hidden beings, we match the player with the right opponent… … .] [Proved himself with the power of fire.] ['The being who was the incarnation' is summoned.]Kurrrrrr… … !
The stadium floor shook.
The ground in the center rose and began to destroy the stadium.
pop! pop!
And lava streams rising here and there.
It soon came together and turned into a huge fire giant.
[haha! What a success! I can't believe I can compete in this body... … !]"Is that your true self?"
[Yes. You did a really good job!]The main body of the Avatar touched its body here and there.
Soon he pointed his huge palm towards the sky.
Kurrrrrr… … !
Then a huge stream of fire rose into the sky.
Flames spread in all directions.
The fire even invaded the grandstands at the end of the huge stadium.
Passsss… … .
It couldn't get over the stands and turned itself off.
[It doesn't work either.]As if he had expected this, the fire giant clasped his hand again.
"Will you tell me now?"
[Are you talking about the owner of the arena?]"uh."
[i get it. A promise is a promise, so you should keep it. but.]The fire giant spread his arms wide.
Then, the giant's entire body turned bright yellow, and flames bloomed all over his body.
[Get inside you and I'll tell you the story!]Grrrr… … !
The giant's fire was concentrated in one place and spread out towards Seongjihan.
Among the powers of fire I have seen and experienced so far, the most powerful blow of the incarnation.
This was clearly an attempt to devour Seong Jihan.
"The reaction was strange when I said it wasn't a constellation, and then it came out like this."
[You said you were the food, so of course I should devour it!]"Is it a constellation or prey?"
[okay. Beings of low status have no choice but to be dominated by gods.]"hmm… … ."
Before I knew it, a bright yellow flame had come right before my eyes.
Seong Ji-han stretched out his hand and tried to absorb it.
Just like in the previous round, I wondered if the energy of fire would gather into the enemy's symbol through my hands.
[How long do you think that method will work?]Grrrr!
Did they prepare in advance after seeing that they were absorbed during the remnants of the Avatar?
The energy of fire escaped and burned Seong Ji-han's whole body.
The situation cannot be absorbed as easily as before.
'As expected, it's one piece.'
Thinking that he was indeed different from Janjae, Seong Ji-han continued to use the enemy's power.
The last step, even if you can't include the enemy's emblem.
It was possible to control the flames that were trying to burn his body.
The flame of fire and Seong Ji-han entered into a confrontation, trying to devour each other.
and.
[This guy is holding on tenaciously… … ! Is he really the manager's successor?]The first to get nervous was Hwashin.
[good. All you have to do is change your body to that of your successor... … I will do my best!]Pusssss… … .
The flame giant's body crumbles.
The power of the flames reaching toward Seong Ji-han began to grow stronger.
The being who was an incarnation tried to capture Seong Ji-han and devour him, even destroying his own body.
Grumble!
As the enemy's power was gradually pushed back, every part of Seong Ji-han's body burned.
If it were a normal player, it would be a powerful attack that would immediately cause fatal injuries.
'The enemy alone won't be able to devour it.'
Originally, I was going to swallow that guy whole due to my stats.
Perhaps because the other person was once a god, it wasn't that easy.
In this case, it is time to use other powers as well.
In the midst of the confrontation, Seong Ji-han performed a new martial arts attack.
Honwon Shingong Clean Yuan God Skills
annihilation decision
Heavenly Tree God
The burning body regenerates in an instant.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Inside Seong Ji-han's body, a chain protruded.
[No, wait. That couldn't be... … .]When the flames stopped attacking for a moment after seeing Seong Ji-han's chains.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssshh!
The purple chain was instantly wrapped in flames and restrained it.
[Yes, how did you do this… … Aren't you the successor to Red's manager? How do I use the Void Binding Orb?]"Was this a void?"
[Yes, you… … Are you making fun of me? Why are you asking me that?]"no. "I really don't know."
A heavenly river god of the earth attribute.
Like an elf, it regenerates its body and emits chains.
Gilgamesh's power is to combine these and create the steel giant Enkidu.
It was a power that Seong Ji-han had not yet fully analyzed.
However, since it is a power operated through the energy of life, I thought it was a power related to elves.
'I'm learning about the Heavenly Beast God from an unexpected place.'
Seong Ji-han thought so and tightened the chain even more.
Chiiik!
In the real world, there would be no way a chain could be wrapped around a flame.
The chain of the Heavenly Beast Gangshin was only made of metal on the outside, but it was able to bind everything.
As the 'one who was an incarnation' was truly caught up in the heavenly river, he struggled as if he had lost his composure.
[They caught me with this in the arena... … ! Yeah, yeah. you. Now I see you are the owner of the arena? Or maybe it's his henchman. Not only did they imprison me, they also tested to see if I would betray them!]"Hoo. "Does the owner of the arena also use chains?"
[How far can this kid act… … !]Hwa Hwa seems to be convinced that Seong Ji-han is connected to the owner of the arena.
'Rebellion has decreased.'
Seong Ji-han had a strange look in his eyes.
The 'person who was Hwashin' arbitrarily mistaken Seong Ji-han as the owner of the arena.
Perhaps he had lost his will to fight, but his momentum had weakened sharply compared to a moment ago.
Then, the energy of the Avatar became more easily controlled by Seong Ji-han's operation.
I was sucked into the enemy's pattern.
[The energy of the Avatar has been absorbed.] [The stat 'Enemy' increases by 1.]In the previous round, I saw the enemy's energy, which I had been wondering whether or not it would go up even if I absorbed all the remnants of the Avatar, quickly increased by 1.
Seong Ji-han raised the corners of his mouth and opened his mouth.
"You're quick-witted. avatar."
* * *
[also… … You guy. Was he the owner of the arena?]"No way."
[Then you must be his subordinate. His subordinates are like this. Is that monster also training a successor? … How did you even recognize the enemy's language?]"Hehe. well."
[…] … Are you saying you won't tell me that far?]Even if Seong Ji-han just adds Chuimsae, he is the 'person who was the Avatar' who can predict and understand on his own.
Perhaps because he thought he had been defeated by Arena, his fighting spirit was rapidly declining.
[The energy of the Avatar has been absorbed.] [The stat 'Enemy' increases by 1.]'I figured it out on my own, so it became easier to absorb.'
The 'enemy' stat has already increased by 2, reaching 10.
Once the number reached two digits, it definitely became easier to use the energy of fire.
Hwashin's energy was absorbed much faster than before.
The flame seemed to have come to its senses, fluttering here and there and struggling.
[Am I trying to devour me in earnest? … ! The owner of the arena. You too are aiming for the red manager position! To devour the power of fire and enter the managerial race... … !]"after. Have you figured it out already? … ."
Opponent's illusion.
There's no need to correct it.
Seong Ji-han just responded lightly with his mouth and continued to absorb Hwa-shin.
[her. The void is so greedy that it even takes the position of manager. Are you planning to abandon the calling you were given, your role as a cleaner? … !]"I just follow my master's will."
[Pfft… … Wow, it ends like this! Why didn't I realize it was a trap? … .]Hwa-shin lost his will to fight as soon as he was caught in the heavenly river.
I was alone in my delusion and resisted weakly until I was completely absorbed into Seong Ji-han's pattern.
[All the energy of the incarnation has been absorbed.] [The stat 'enemy' increases by 2.]'The true reward of the promotion battle was the stats.'
Seong Ji-han, who ate the incarnation from the remnants to the main body, down to the bones.
The enemy's stat, which was 5 when I entered, had become 12.
In some ways, his stats didn't increase much after swallowing a powerful being like the Avatar.
'That's an imperfect being to be considered a god. Because it's just a piece of the incarnation. Just this much is enough to make you feel good.'
Seong Ji-han decided to be satisfied with this level for now.
at that time.
In front of Seong Ji-han.
Without any sign, a being suddenly emerged.
The being is humanoid and has an eye level similar to that of Seong Ji-han.
He was wearing a neat suit and a black fedora.
but.
'The face… … 'Is it space?'
All limbs are intact.
Underneath the hat, the opponent's face resembles the shape of a universe full of stars.
match. match. match.
He looked at Seong Ji-han and clapped loudly three times.
OK.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
As the stadium, which was full of light, was immersed in darkness.
In this space, only Seong Ji-han and Woo Joo-face are left.
"That's amazing. "I was your master."
"Are you the owner of the arena?"
"That's right. I was wondering who I would select as the Space Arena rookie to look forward to next season... … A great prospect has emerged."
"I am indebted to you. "I borrowed your name for a moment."
"Hehe. it's okay. Agitating an opponent with one's mouth is also a necessary talent for a rookie. "The incarnation that was hit is head-to-head."
The owner of the arena looked at the place where the Avatar was, and then turned his head back towards Seongjihan.
"where. Now, let's look at the basic personal information for selecting a rookie."
Among the stars in the background of space, light emanates from a blue star.
Jiiiing… … .
The light scanned Seong Ji-han's body, up and down.
"NO.4212. Because they come from 'humanity'… … Gilgamesh the traitor. That's the tribe he belongs to."
"betrayer?"
"That's right."
Sigh.
The owner of the arena runs his hand over his face.
The face in the space background changed to Gilgamesh's.
"He is a traitor who abandoned his calling to the void. His original sin, NO.4212, must be paid for by all of humanity."
"What did he betray to the Void?"
"After completing his mission, he should have enjoyed the life he was given and died. but."
grasp!
Gilgamesh's face shatters, and the space background is revealed again.
"He didn't die. "That is betrayal."
"You mean betrayal with that… … ."
"No more than this. "That's right."
Sigh.
Let the owner of the arena spread his hands.
[Meeted the owner of the Space Arena.] [Cleared the epic quest.] [Selected as a rookie in the Space Arena.] [The constellation candidate period is shortened by 100 days.]Along with the message that I had cleared the epic quest, a reward came to mind.
'There's no such thing as actually becoming stronger.'
Rather, it is an epic quest reward that seems to be greater by devouring the Avatar and gaining a stat of 7.
When Seong Ji-han was checking the message like that.
"Our Rookie, what do you think about Battle.net?"
The owner of the arena asked Seong Ji-han a question.
"I have to get out."
"For NO.4212?"
"okay. Humanity is not a suitable race for Battle.net. "You're cruising because of me."
To a third party, the statement seemed extremely arrogant.
In reality, the situation of mankind was exactly as Seong Ji-han said.
"Hehe. "You have a good grasp of reality."
"… … ."
"As long as Gilgamesh is alive, Battle.net invitations will continue to flow in. If you want to get away from Battle.net... … ."
Sigh.
The face of the owner of the arena changed back into Gilgamesh.
It completely cracked and broke apart.
"Kill Gilgamesh."
